Chapter 72 - Demon Race (1/2)

The purplish-red pool water was constantly bubbling and steaming, seeming to be boiling.

Dozens of low-rank demons were soaking in this pool, and from time to time, low-rank demons like Roy, who needed to promote, were rushing over. Roy had only been observing for a while before seeing several low-rank demons passing the entrance and entering the pool.

The middle-rank demons lurking in the periphery did not stop them and let them enter. Moreover, seeing how the barrier blasted them away after they touched it, they seemed to want to go in again.

Roy brought Fat Tiger slowly toward the place of refinement. In this process, Roy witnessed the promotion of some low-rank demons.

After soaking in the pool, the bodies of the low-rank demons had more or less changed. Some of them had changed demon horns. The horns became thicker and twisted, and the originally relatively straight horns gradually curved into a circle, like the difference between a goat’s horns and a sheep’s horns. Some had changed their bodies, becoming smaller or larger. Some had massive changes. There could be a few more eyes on their faces, a few more arms, or a tail for those that originally did not have one.

Roy even saw a smaller demon whose chest swelled up and grew out a pair of wings from its back, gradually changing from an unknown demon into a succubus!

He did not know if this demon was originally male or female. It would be all right if it was a female, but if it was a male, then this change was huge! This was already not something cross-dressing could describe…

This scene made Roy ponder. This place of refinement seemed to be awakening the bloodlines of demons!

Roy was certain that the demon that became a succubus definitely had the bloodline of a succubus. The power in the pool would stimulate this bloodline, and then this demon turned into a succubus.

Roy landed. Under the watchful gazes of the middle-rank demons around the periphery, he entered the place of refinement. However, he did not rush into the pool and chose to continue observing.

He remembered that due to the demon wings on his back, other demons had always regarded him as having the bloodline of a high-rank demon. Spider Queen Araniya had said so before, and Xeron said the same later. But Roy had not figured out what race this so-called high-rank demon was.

Logically speaking, if you judged using wings, a demon race like the succubus should be high-rank demons. However, the succubi Roy encountered in the Heroes of Might and Magic world were all middle-rank demons, and Xeron, a demon without wings, was a high-rank demon.

Therefore, Roy was a little confused now. The difference between low-rank demons and middle-rank demons is very easy to understand. It’s just if the bloodline has been refined. But what is the difference between middle-rank demons and high-rank demons? It couldn’t be a second refinement, right?

Roy was wrong about this.
