Chapter 229 Gathering of the Dragon Balls

Back then, Roy was only a middle-rank demon driven by Edrach, but when meeting again after a few years, Roy was already on the same level as Edrach. Edrach could even vaguely feel that Roy’s strength was about the same as his, so how could he not be surprised?

Roy knew that his rapid growth that surpassed other demons would inevitably attract attention, but he did not panic. “It’s nothing. In the previous world I went to, I encountered Demon King Samael and Mother Lilith!”

That’s right. Roy had passed the buck. Anyway, he had indeed encountered these two demon kings, but as for what happened after meeting them, it was all for Edrach’s imagination to make up. As expected, Edrach’s eyes widened when he heard Roy’s words. He said in surprise and envy, “No wonder you grew so fast! It seems like you obtained many benefits from the two demon kings!”

Roy allowed him to imagine and changed the topic. “Where are you going?”

With that, he looked at Edrach’s dragon mount and asked curiously, “Is that a real dragon?”

Roy had already noticed that when facing Fat Tiger’s fierce gaze, Edrach’s black dragon mount looked very lifeless. It had no reaction, as though Fat Tiger did not exist.

“It’s not a real dragon!” Edrach looked back. “It’s a puppet dragon made of Abyss metal but with the soul of a black dragon added.”

“Can I take a look?” Roy asked.

Edrach did not object and gestured for him to go ahead. Roy walked forward and stood in front of the puppet dragon to observe carefully.

He stretched out his finger and tapped the skin of the puppet dragon. Sure enough, he heard a ‘hollow’ sound, indicating that there was no real body inside the dragon, so he could not help but say, “Your puppet dragon has very good craftsmanship!”

Indeed, in Roy’s Radiation Perception, he could not tell that the puppet dragon was fake at all. The powerful radiation emanating from the puppet dragon meant that it contained an immense amount of energy. When he looked closer, he felt that the puppet dragon was lifelike. And just from its appearance, it appeared no different from a real dragon.

“It’s very simple. You can just skin a dragon!” Edrach said proudly. “In order to hunt this black dragon, I spent a lot of effort!”

Roy nodded. He found that demons seemed to like creatures like black dragons. After Lilith tempted Abaddon’s soul into falling, she did not create a fallen angel body for him but directly stuffed his soul into a black dragon’s body. Edrach’s mount was like this now. Perhaps black dragons had good affinity with dark power, and demons were often connected to these dark creatures.

Living black dragons could not enter the Abyss. Just like how demons would cause world power to repulse them if they went to other worlds, creatures from other worlds would also be repulsed when they entered the Abyss. Moreover, this repulsive force would be even stronger. The Abyss had existed for many years, and many other creatures had strayed into the Abyss during this period. However, the chances of these creatures being able to escape alive were extremely low because once they entered the Abyss, not only would they be repulsed, but they would also have to face countless demons who had heard about them. Only a few could luckily escape back. Furthermore, these survivors had also spread some superficial situations about the Abyss. After they were frightened and terrified, their descriptions were often utterly ridiculous and excessive, making everyone’s understanding of the Abyss specious.

Edrach’s black dragon mount was made of Abyss metal, and it was covered with the black dragon’s skin on the outside. Then, with the soul of the black dragon as energy, it could perfectly drive this puppet body. After death, creatures would no longer be repulsed in the Abyss, and Edrach could ride it everywhere.

Roy looked back at Fat Tiger and then at the black puppet dragon. He had to say that despite there being not much difference in size, the dragon still looked more awesome.

Edrach walked over and introduced it to Roy. “Although your hellhound is very good, it feels strange riding a dog… If you want to get a dragon mount like this, you can come and find me. I’ll help you make it. This black dragon had just entered adolescence, and it was only about four hundred years old, so it wasn’t difficult to deal with. But it would be even better if you could get a thousand-year-old dragon. The puppet dragon created will be stronger.”

“Let’s talk about it after I get one!” Roy said. He knew that thousand-year-old dragons were middle-aged dragons, and they were the backbone of the dragon race. Dragons of this level were probably the limit that high-rank demons could handle. Those two to three-thousand-year-old or even five to six thousand-year-old dragons were already considered ancient dragons. Even demon lords had to be careful with such ancient dragons, let alone high-rank demons.

Similar to angels and demons, dragons, titans, and elves were all powerful races, especially dragons. Unlike demons who needed to devour souls to grow, the power of dragons grew with age. They had infinite potential since their birth. The older they grew, the more potential they could display. They were an enviable and gifted race.
