Chapter 355 The Call of Urgash

Roy did not disturb the communication between the demon lords. He stood in front of the light screen and waited quietly.

In fact, from the very beginning, Roy had never thought of communicating with these demon lords. To him, there was no need to have any dealings with a group of demons imprisoned in an alternate space prison and could not appear in the main world. His initial plan was to kill Xeron and promote to demon lord before returning to the Abyss.

However, after killing Kha-Beleth, Roy suddenly realized an issue. These demon lords might have souls and good things in their hands!

It was not easy for ordinary low-level demons to obtain souls, and it was difficult for them to control their Soul Devouring Addiction. Therefore, once they obtained souls, they would eat them on the spot. But for high-level demons or demons at the demon lord level, it was much easier to obtain souls. But even though they obtained more souls, even demon lords might not be able to devour them in a short time.

This led to high-level demons storing some of the souls in their hands. In fact, souls had become the universal currency among high-level demons, and they could be used to exchange for things with other high-level demons. This would obviously encourage the habit of high-level demons to store souls.

Of course, Dioland and the others had been imprisoned for nearly a thousand years, so Roy did not dare to expect them to have many souls in their hands. But no matter how many they had, he would squeeze out whatever he could. Even if they did not have many souls, they could replace them with other things…

After all, these guys had to seek his help now!

Therefore, Roy was not anxious at all. The initiative was in his hands.

About six minutes later, the demon lords seemed to have reached an agreement. Dioland turned his head and said to Roy, “We can pay some price to complete this transaction!”

“Very good!” Roy nodded. “So, how many souls are you willing to give me?”

The next second, Dioland said a shocking number, “Twenty million! Twenty million!”

“How many?!” Roy thought that he had heard wrong. To be honest, he thought that it would already be impressive for these prisoners to take out a few million souls at most, but he did not expect them to say such an astounding number.

“Twenty million, no more or less!” Dioland replied affirmatively.

“Why do you have so many souls? Where did you get them?” Roy asked curiously.

Dioland said proudly, “Although the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam staked his own life to seal us in the Sheogh alternate space, you know that every time a lunar eclipse comes, the power of the seal will weaken, and some of the demons in Sheogh will be able to escape from this prison. And these demons who escaped are all the executioners of our will. Over the past thousand years, the demons who escaped have launched several large-scale wars in Ashan, and they sent most of the souls of those who died in the wars to Sheogh. Although these souls are not enough to let us break through this cage, they can still barely maintain our strength. But in this cage, we have nothing to do. Even if we can maintain our strength, it won’t be of any use. So we haven’t used up these souls. Even though the thousand years has weakened us for a time, apart from the necessary consumption, we’ve been storing the remaining souls!

“Our original plan was to use these stored souls to restore our strength after we went out…” Dioland sighed. “But Kha-Beleth is dead. Without the Dark Messiah, it’s useless to have so many souls if we can’t go out, so we can promise that we’ll give these souls to you first to improve your strength. After all, if you can’t save yourself and become expelled or killed, it’ll be very troublesome to send another demon lord out…”

Roy understood what he meant. Although Roy was not on the same side as them, he was still a demon after all, and he was naturally in the same racial camp as them. After Kha-Beleth’s death, Dioland and the others hoped that a demon lord could control the situation and at least ensure that the Dark Messiah was not taken away. Only in this way would they have a glimmer of hope of escaping.

And these twenty million souls were actually their investment in Roy…

It had to be said that these demon lords were quite cunning. They secretly sent a large number of souls to Sheogh and stored them. This way, if they were to escape in the future, the various races of the Ashan world would think that they could take advantage of the time while they were in a weak state to eliminate them. Then, they would hit a steel plate because the demon lords had stored a large number of souls and could quickly recover their strength…
