Chapter 14：Where Was the Magic? (2/2)

Perhaps it was as what Araniya had said. The more powerful demons stayed in the lower levels of the Abyss, while those on the upper level were basically all low-rank demons!

Fighting and hunting were the mainstay of this world. Demons hunted monsters and also their own kind. Similarly, monsters not only hunted their own kind, but they also hunted demons. This was because there was a possibility for monsters to turn into demons!

Monsters could accumulate demonic aura through devouring demons, and they could transform into demons themselves once they had enough demonic aura.

This also explained why the low-rank demons had such strange shapes and complicated bloodlines.

It was precisely because of this rule that some fierce and powerful monsters loved to hunt little demons like Roy. Roy saw a little demon about his size being caught by a huge bird-shaped monster swooping down from the sky. It was then gobbled up by the monster head first and even struggled as it moved along the monster's throat…

This scene made Roy's heart turn cold. It also made him understand that if he did not mature quickly, he might be eaten like this one day!

The pressure and urgency of survival made Roy realize that he was becoming more and more cold-blooded in his hunts. He did not even flinch when killing his kind now.

Roy could not kill the monsters and demons that were too powerful, but Roy could now kill opponents at the same rank as him with ease because of his special tail. Regardless of whether it was a sneak attack or an open attack, the tail's killing efficiency greatly benefited Roy.

The first thing Roy did after acquiring enough souls was to modify his demon wings.

He increased the size of its wingspan, and the demon wings now had a wingspan of two meters after extending. After finding that its carrying capacity was sufficient, Roy also changed the attribute of Glide to Flight!

Now, he could finally take off by flapping his wings and fly freely in the air. The only thing that was lacking was his speed.

Therefore, Roy had already thought of the next part of his modification plan for the demon wings—adding the attribute of High-Speed Flight.

After being able to fly, Roy's hunting range became much larger, and he could now fight the flying monsters and demons.

As time passed, Roy's range of exploration also continued to expand. However, he had actually only reached about one hundred kilometers away from the cave he had lived in. During this period, his experience with hunting made him discover something that puzzled him.

He realized that all creatures living in the upper level of the Abyss, be it monsters or demons, basically used only their bodies to fight. Although some used venoms or acids, these methods were only products of their own bodies. There were only two conditions to judge the strength of these demons and monsters: one was their body type, and the other was the size of their muscles.

This sort of physical fighting method seemed very exciting, but it also puzzled Roy to no end.

What about magic? Why are there no demons fighting with magic?
