Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 280
Chapter 280: Taking Over the Fortress
After a battle, there were often many things to deal with, so Roy controlled the mutants to standby and stopped bothering with them. He brought Julia and the others to Rafaro’s ice sculpture.
Cassandra was currently drawing death power from Rafaro to restore her flames of death. Rafaro’s death power was very high quality, so she had already recovered quite a bit. Roy was standing under the ice sculpture and looking up at Cassandra floating above. “How about it, Cassandra? Are you confident that you can absorb all the power from this guy?”
A large amount of death power was pouring into her body, and Cassandra was a little intoxicated. She only returned to her senses after a while. “Master, sucking him dry is fine, but only if this spectral dragon stays frozen. But I’ve already sensed that the flames of death in his body are awakening, and he may wake up soon…”
“Absorb as much as you can!” Roy was not surprised. Rafaro was much stronger than Julia, plus he had an undead body. Even Julia and the others were fine, so the damage from being frozen was nothing to him.
But if he were to smash Rafaro while he was in the frozen state, he would suffer a lot of the damage. Even if Rafaro could still wake up and recover his body, he would definitely have to pay a large amount of death power to repair it…
“Osiris, are you planning on saving this spectral dragon?” Benia asked curiously.
“Of course!” Roy nodded.
However, he would not reveal his true goal for the time being. Rafaro was dishonest. He had attacked the alliance army with all his might just to obtain life force to reconstruct his flesh and blood body so that he could complete his transformation from undead to living. Roy realized that because Rafaro’s soul was still around, this transformation was possible.
To Roy, if Rafaro really completed reconstructing his flesh and blood body and resurrected, he had to be wary of this guy. Just like Giovanni, Rafaro was definitely not a reliable teammate. Roy could not give him a chance to bite him back. But before Rafaro completed his resurrection, he could be regarded as a super goon!
In order to obtain life force, Rafaro would fight bravely in battle, and Roy would not need to worry about him slacking at all. At the same time, he was a walking battery, and Cassandra could continually absorb his rich death power to evolve. Roy wanted to use Rafaro’s power to make Cassandra a higher-level lich.
In addition, Rafaro was a dragon-shaped creature, and Dragon Slayer Magic also targeted his power. Roy could get Rafaro to fight him and then devour his attacks to increase his resistance to death power.
In other words, this guy still had use-value, and before squeezing out his usefulness, Roy certainly would not let him perish and dissipate just like that.
About ten minutes later, just as Cassandra had said, Rafaro’s flames of death recovered. As soon as his consciousness returned, his ice sculpture immediately began to shake violently.
With a bang, Rafaro broke the hard ice from the inside, and the mountain-like ice sculpture blasted into pieces. After escaping, Rafaro immediately raised his skull and roared angrily.
His consciousness was still at the moment of the battle earlier, which was akin to losing his memories for a while. So once he came out, he immediately wanted to find the enemy and fight. However, he did not see any enemies but first discovered Cassandra absorbing his power.
“Roar! Damn little bug! How dare you steal my power?!”
Rafaro turned around angrily, stretched out his skeleton dragon claws, and grabbed Cassandra, who was floating not far from his chest. He wanted to crush her to pieces.
But at this moment, Roy shouted, “Rafaro! Let go of her! She’s mine!”
Roy’s roar stopped Rafaro’s movements. He lowered his head to look at Roy. When he saw Roy’s ferocious killing intent, Rafaro returned to his senses. He looked around and found that the alliance army was no longer around. There were only countless corpses and wreckage left, as well as some strange undead nearby.
“The battle is over?” Rafaro asked Roy in disbelief, “Demon, what happened? Did you kill all the enemies alone?”
“Hmph! Don’t tell me you’ve been frozen stupid!” Roy mocked bluntly. “If I didn’t do it, was it you who was frozen?”
“You…” After hearing Roy’s words, Rafaro flew into a rage. He wanted to roar, but he suddenly realized something and did not say anything else. He hesitated for two seconds before loosening his claw and letting go of Cassandra.
Cassandra smiled, but since she only had a skull, the others could not see it. When Rafaro grabbed her, she had not panicked at all because she had already predicted this scene.
“Damn it, Osiris!” Rafaro said unhappily. “Even if you killed the enemy, why did you let this lich steal my power?”
“What are you worried about?” Roy sneered. “You have so much death power, so what’s the big deal with my person taking some? She also needs to recover!”
Upon hearing this, Rafaro wanted to flare up again, but he hesitated for a moment and held it in.
He could do nothing about it. In fact, he had been thinking about whether or not he could defeat Roy if he were to fall out with him. In the end, he weighed it and did not dare to make a move…
Before Arantir died, Arantir had commanded him to fight Roy. At that time, he realized that this powerful demon named Osiris could always heavily injure him somehow. Even just a simple punch would always consume a lot of death power to heal the wounds. He felt that even that group of titans besieging him earlier could not compare…
It made him suspect that Roy might have used something like a dragon slayer potion.
Previously, when Arantir was assisting him, Roy had cut off his skull with a slash. Now, there was a fallen angel and a high-rank succubus beside Roy. In addition, there was an enormous hellhound that was almost as large as him. This made him panic a little, so he decisively pretended not to hear Roy’s ridicule…
Of course, deep down, Rafaro was still thinking. Hmph, I, the great Rafaro, am magnanimous and won’t lower myself to a demon like him. After I complete the resurrection ritual and restore my original strength, I must teach him how to speak to a great faceless…
Benia smiled as she looked at Rafaro’s actions and behavior, having seen through everything.
Roy could also see that Rafaro was being tough on the outside but weak on the inside. He rolled his eyes and ignored him. Seeing that Cassandra’s strength had recovered, he asked her to gather the skeleton angels and undead titans on the battlefield.
The undead skeleton angels were angels that died under Roy’s Frostmourne, and the undead titans were the same. Roy had used Frostmourne to kill many titans during the battle. Although the souls of these slain titans sank into the ground immediately, their corpses remained and finally turned into tall skeleton titans.
These skeleton titans were five to six meters tall. Of course, they had inherited the height of the titans, but they did not inherit the power of the titans. They could only be regarded as giant skeletons.
The skeleton angels were similar. The power of holy light could not exist on these undead bodies, so they could only be regarded as skeletons with bone wings that could fly. This was something that could not be helped. After transforming into undead, there would always inevitably be a great loss of strength.
However, no matter what, these skeletons were ultimately transformed from high-level mythical creatures and were naturally high-level undead. As long as they had enough death power, they could easily become powerful undead warriors.
Due to being undead transformed by Frostmourne, these skeleton angels, skeleton titans, and the bone dragons transformed from green dragons did not have any necromancer marks on them. They were just afraid of Roy holding Frostmourne in his hands, so they did not dare to approach him and wandered around, but they would not obey Roy’s orders. Roy could only let Cassandra control them.
After receiving Roy’s order, Cassandra quickly imprinted her necromancer mark on these undead, engraving it in their flames of death. As long as the flames of death did not completely extinguish, they would be under Cassandra’s control.
The thousands of undead troops that Cassandra had led had mostly been wiped out during the battle with the iron golems. Needless to say, the low-level skeleton soldiers had all been eliminated, leaving only some high-level death knights, wights, and bone dragons. Moreover, there were not many of them. But with the replenishment of the skeleton angels and skeleton titans, the military strength had recovered a little.
After processing everything, Roy led everyone to Dendera Fortress.
Dendera Fortress was now only a dead city. The spatial portal had been completely shut down, and there were wandering zombies and mutants everywhere in the city. But ever since he found that he could somewhat control these guys infected by the T-Virus, it was equivalent to the alliance army giving Dendera Fortress to Roy. How could Roy not want it?
“Hahaha, great!” After flying up to the city wall and seeing the situation in Dendera Fortress, Benia could not help laughing loudly. “Osiris, there must be many materials in this city. We can use them to build a magic formation. With a Gate of the Abyss, we only need a little time to recruit a demon army!”
“That’s right!” Giovanni was also looking forward to it. “I can go back to Heresh during this time and bring my vampire troops. At that time, we will have a powerful army of demons and undead, and no one will be our match…”
