Custom Made Demon King
chapter-114

Seeing Roy destroy a warship in the blink of an eye, the captain of the two warships beside it became anxious.

“Damn! Why is the exorcism prayer useless?!”

“No, it’s useful! At the beginning, that demon’s body was indeed sluggish!”

“Right, but this demon is too powerful! Our priests don’t have enough strength to expel him forcibly!”

“It seems that this time, the Lord is truly testing us! Prepare the archers and ballistas!”

In this era where muskets and cannons were the means of long-range attacks, there were very few archers on ships. However, in order to complete the feat of ‘demon slaying,’ the Spanish not only deployed archers on every ship but also set up big killing weapons on the ships: ballistas used for whaling!

Perhaps some people might ask why they would use cold weapons like bows and ballistas instead of guns. This was because, be it bows or ballistas, their arrows could be soaked with holy water and even be cast with silver. These were all things in the records that could cause harm to evil creatures. If it were muskets, they would probably not even be able to fire after soaking in holy water…

The two warships moved closer to the ship Roy was on, and then a large number of arrows rained down on Roy on the deck. The attack power of these arrows was originally nothing to Roy. With his body’s current defense, even modern firearms might not be able to injure him, much less bows and arrows. However, the appearance of the priests earlier raised Roy’s vigilance, so instead of resisting the arrows head-on, he flew into the sky.

These arrows nailed onto the deck and failed to hit Roy at all. But the moment Roy flew up, the ballistas at the bows of the two warships fired. These ballistas could adjust angles, so they could actually hit targets in midair.

Faced with the rapidly approaching bolts, Roy turned and dodged. With his agility in the air, how could he be so easy to hit?

However, Roy clearly realized how well-prepared these Spaniards were. They had come prepared, they were regular troops, and they were not at all something that the pirates could compare with. In this situation, Roy could no longer land on their ships to attack them, and he even had to pull higher into the air so that he would not be shot by arrows.

Not long after Roy flew high, Fat Tiger took Cassandra and also flew up. Fat Tiger burned a ship, but Cassandra had been hit by many arrows with holy water, and she seemed to be in bad shape. The bones on her body showed signs of burning and eroding, and smoke was constantly rising. She looked very dispirited. Holy water might do limited damage to demons, but it was much more harmful to undead creatures. Cassandra was on Fat Tiger’s back and did not even have the strength to speak.

“Stay in the sky!” Roy instructed Fat Tiger. Then he waved his hand, and Frostmourne slashed at a warship below, striking with Icebound Strike!

The crescent-shaped black ice blade whistled down and slashed at a mast of this warship. After easily cutting it off, the ice blade landed on the deck and exploded, freezing most of the deck. The Spanish soldiers affected turned into pieces of shattered ice, and not even blood could splash out.

Roy stayed in midair and continuously slashed Icebound Strikes downward. However, it was only useful at the beginning. When the Spaniards recovered from their panic, they mobilized some soldiers that went to the decks with shields. Then they used these shields to block Roy’s ice blades.

This was indeed useful. The shields in their hands were equivalent to detonating the ice blades ahead of time. Although the soldiers holding the shields were inevitably frozen into ice sculptures, after they defended against the ice blades, their people could still stand on the decks.

“Tsk!” Roy curled his lips when he saw this and stopped the useless attacks.

After discovering that Roy had stopped, the Spaniards immediately thought that Roy was out of moves. They loudly shouted the name of the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit, and their morale soared!

To them, this was a sacred war of demon slaying, a war to promote the glory of the Lord. No matter what enemies they faced, they firmly believed that they would win.

However, the high morale Spaniards did not know that their actions had angered Roy!

First Ammand, now the Spanish. When is it going to end?

Of course, Roy knew very well that with the reckless personalities of demons, they had never considered public opinion in the past at all. Even if some religions that worshipped demons occasionally appeared, demons were cruel and even killed their own people, let alone these believers. As a result, they were no match for the angel faction at all. In the end, almost every world would have these fanatical church members coming out to exterminate demons.

However, these people simply did not understand that ordinary people like them could no longer defeat middle-rank demons like Roy!

If they wanted to kill Roy, they had to at least be able to communicate with Heaven and have Heaven send an angel to descend. Otherwise, they had to have magic power like Davy Jones, and it might be possible to expel

Roy.

Furthermore, it was merely a possibility. It was hard to say how high the chances were…

Roy was a frost demon. Unlike other demons who used fire, his strength was not restrained in the sea, and he could even display a greater effect than on land. It could only be said that the Spanish had made a foolish mistake to fight Roy at sea!

Roy was a little angry now. He had thought that destroying Ammand’s fleet would make the people of this world understand some fear, but he was still attacked by another fleet. This time, it was the Spanish, but what about the next time? The Royal Navy?

Although he would be able to harvest quite a lot of souls, it was still very annoying… It just so happened that Roy had told Jack Sparrow he would make the people of this world feel fear for Demon Osiris. Since he had already said so, he might as well make an example of the Invincible Armada.

Moreover, after settling the Invincible Armada, Roy was also planning to visit the Royal Navy. If he fought against the pirates, the Invincible Armada, and the Royal Navy, the three largest forces at sea, he believed that there would be a lot fewer people who would overestimate themselves.

Roy opened the system interface and exchanged all 3,400 souls into a super bottle of Magic Essence Growth Potion! Roy had originally planned to use these souls to make the ‘marks’, but he could not care so much now. Anyway, as long as he could deal with the Spanish this time, he would be able to harvest more souls than these 3,400.

After downing the potion, Roy’s magic power surged once again!

–

As the ranks increased, the amount of magic power converted by demons devouring souls would gradually decrease. If a low-rank demon swallowing a soul could gain 1 point of magic power, then a lower-middle-rank demon swallowing a soul could only gain 0.8, and a top-middle-rank one could only gain 0.7.

This was also the reason why higher-rank demons required more souls. Similarly, the higher the rank of a demon, the harder it was to promote. After all, magic power could not increase indefinitely.

TulIIIIILCIY.

Fortunately, Roy used the system to make potions, extracting more magic power than directly swallowing the same souls. This was also the main reason why he improved faster than other demons.

Now, the potion of 3,400 souls had made Roy gain more than 1,900 points of magic power. His total magic power directly exceeded 3,000, meaning that he had officially entered the level of top-middle-rank demon.

It had to be said that this feeling of monopolizing souls in a world was very satisfying, especially when it was certain that no opponent could threaten the life of the demon… It was no wonder that the illusion demon César had schemed to stay in a world forever…

This magic power value of over three thousand made Roy feel the surging and formidable magic power in his body. He could not imagine what the magic power torrents were like in the stronger demon lords…

Roy landed. But this time, he did not land on a Spanish ship but instead on… the sea!

He landed not far away from the nearest warship, but it was neither within the range of the enemy’s cannons nor bows and ballistas. The position was very safe.

The Spanish also noticed this. The captains on all the ships immediately shouted and ordered the soldiers to move their ships closer to attack Roy.

However, Roy ignored them. He stood on the surface of the sea, where he had frozen into a floating piece of ice. Roy squatted down on this floating piece of ice, put away Frostmourne, and placed his hands into the sea, submerging the back of his hands.

The Spanish sail warships were aggressively closing in on Roy, and all the soldiers on the ships were ready to fight with Roy.

But just as their ships were about to enter the firing range, Roy made his move!

“Ice Age!!!”

Roy’s surging magic power gushed out, passing through his hands into the sea. Then it rapidly turned into a powerful frost power that spread throughout the sea and instantly expanded to an enormous area.

With a click, as if Roy had pressed a camera’s shutter, everything froze.

Within the dozens of square nautical miles, the originally undulating waves were frozen and turned into layers of ice. The Spanish warships on the sea were frozen as well. Entire hulls, sails, and even all the soldiers on them turned into lifelike black ice sculptures!

Even the expressions on their faces were frozen…

The wind was not calm, but the waves were still! The noisy sea suddenly became dead silent. On the blue sea, only an exhibition of black ice sculptures remained, and this exhibition consisted of more than thirty sailing warships and nearly twenty thousand Spaniards…

Roy took his hands out of the ice and flew into the sky. He looked at the sea frozen by Ice Age and shook his head.

“The range is still not large enough. Compared to Aokiji’s frost power, it looks like I’m still a little lacking…”
