Chapter 175 The Lord of the Hollows

Ulthane had never thought of fighting such a battle before.

Of course, he knew that he was facing a frost demon this time. In fact, Ulthane was already more than twenty thousand years old. He was still young among the makers, but he had seen countless people over the past twenty thousand years. In this period of time, he had also encountered a frost demon and had even fought against it.

Therefore, when Roy fought him, Ulthane thought that he might encounter magic attacks like Ice Spear or Ice Storm, and he was already prepared to deal with them.

But who knew that this frost demon in front of him did not play according to common sense? He did not use any offensive magic at all!

Had it been a proper battle, Ulthane would have definitely not have fallen into such a situation. He was a famous warrior of the makers and had a strong physique that could crush angels, demons, and dragons. However, Roy took advantage of environmental factors and used an ultra-low temperature to cause unreasonable overloading and explosions to resolve this battle directly…

Ulthane did not even have the time to respond effectively before he was instantly frozen. Under the ultra-low -200°C, his entire body had already lost feeling, and even his mind was frozen. In layman’s terms, he blacked out and did not know anything…

However, Ulthane did not die because his soul did not appear. His incomparably strong body saved his life at the critical moment, allowing him to maintain a weak heartbeat after he was frozen.

But in this state, Ulthane was extremely fragile. As long as Roy landed and poked him lightly with a nail, his frozen and fragile body would shatter like broken glass, turning into countless ice crystals… At that time, no matter how strong his body was, it would not be able to save him.

Roy landed and came in front of Ulthane. However, Roy did not attack Ulthane, whom he could easily destroy with his hand.

Shaking his tail, he felt that it was slightly troublesome. This guy, Ulthane, was a formidable enemy, and usually, Roy should eliminate the roots here to prevent future trouble. But the problem was that Roy knew very well that the makers were not a warlike race.

Of course, he knew why Ulthane had attacked him earlier. He only intended to save the fleeing human soldiers. He regarded Roy as the leader of the low-level demons and wanted to kill him so that he would not continue to harm the surviving humans.

After the End War began, angels and demons fought earthshakingly on the ground, but the ones suffering were these unprepared humans. And in this world, humans were an important part of the order of balance, so even the ancient races that were unconcerned about worldly affairs such as the makers were now appearing in the human world. They intended to save these pitiful humans and pull them out of the tragic End War to prevent them from truly becoming extinct.

As for Roy himself, he actually had not given orders to the low-level demons to slaughter at all. It was purely the low-level demons spontaneously hunting them down after the human soldiers fled.

Ever since he met Cassandra in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, Roy had always placed himself in the position of ‘punishing evil’. He felt that this was probably the true intention of the Creator to create demons. It was precisely because of this insight that he suddenly obtained the talent of ‘Chosen One of the Abyss’. After coming to this world, although Roy got caught up in the End War, he had indeed not taken the initiative to attack the humans of this world. He had always followed this principle. Unless humans attacked him, then he would fight back. The human soldiers had attacked him with rockets, so Roy naturally would not stop the low-level demons from chasing after them because they were already considered enemies.

However, Roy had never had any thoughts about the survivors in the bunker from the beginning. He only planned to leave here after obtaining those tactical nuclear bombs.

Clearly, Ulthane did not know his purpose. He had misunderstood Roy, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was impossible for the two of them to sit down and chat to understand each other, right?

“Forget it!” After thinking about it for a while, Roy felt that there was no need to provoke the ancient maker race. His purpose in staying in this world was very simple. First, he wanted to collect as many souls as possible, and second, he wanted to find some information that would help him promote to demon lord, for example, the nephilim, or the Creator, and so on. The history of the makers was ancient and long, and it was even longer than the establishment of the Charred Council. Perhaps the makers had information about the Creator, so there was no need to strain the relationship into a deadlock.

Of course, Roy did not intend to unfreeze Ulthane. This was his punishment for attacking him. Since he still had a heartbeat, Roy felt that he might be able to survive, so he left Ulthane frozen so that he would not cause trouble for him.
