Chapter 354 It’s Not Like I Don’t Know How To Posture

The secret room located under Ur-Hekal was as dark as ever.

While holding Sareth in one hand, Roy brought Cassandra and entered the secret room through the teleportation formation. After arriving beside the altar, he injected magic power to activate it.

Roy did not know much about the principles behind this communication platform that Xeron and Kha-Beleth set up. But he only needed to use this magic formation to contact Sheogh, so he did not think too much about it.

As the light of the magic formation lit up, ripples of lights and shadows appeared in the center of the formation. The moment the light appeared, Roy saw a figure opposite him.

It was still the tall demon lord with the rugged and heavy armor, explosive muscles, and the spiked hammer in his hand. Roy only knew this Sheogh demon lord, and he did not even know his name. But the difference this time was that this demon lord was not the only one displayed on the light screen. In the shadows behind him, Roy saw several dark silhouettes and several pairs of bright red eyes.

One, two, three… Roy counted. He could see a total of nine demon lords on the light screen. He did not know if it was all of them, but he estimated that most of the demon lords in Sheogh were probably gathered here. Did they coincidentally gather together, or were they deliberately waiting for me to contact them? Roy smiled playfully and said to the tall and strong war demon lord, “We meet again!”

“…” After seeing Roy, the demon lord was silent for a moment before saying, “Unexpectedly, you actually succeeded… Lord Osiris!”

Roy turned his head slightly and looked at the three pairs of demon wings gathered behind him. He asked with interest, “Did you see it from my wings or feel it through my aura and magic pressure? Speaking of which, this communication formation shouldn’t have the ability to transmit aura…”

“In fact, we’ve known since you completed the promotion ritual!” the demon lord said with his chin raised.

“Aha. It seems like you guys trapped in Sheogh are quite well-informed!” Roy’s eyes flickered.

The demon lord’s words revealed a piece of information that made Roy wary. This group of demon lords had other methods to obtain information about the main world, which meant that someone was secretly conveying it to them…

The ones who sent them the news were definitely some demons in Ur-Hekal. Otherwise, it was impossible for Sheogh to know the news the moment he promoted to demon lord. Only the demons who witnessed his promotion ritual at the scene had this possibility.

Roy did not find it strange that there was a traitor among the demons. Other than Julia and his close subordinates, he had never believed the loyalty of other demons. Since those demons could submit due to his rank, they could also submit to other demon lords. “It seems like you haven’t been sitting idle since Kha-Beleth died!” Roy rubbed his chin with his claws and sneered. “However, does the candidate you found have the ability to help you break free?”

With Roy’s words, the scarlet demon eyes of the nine demon lords on the light screen flickered in the shadows. Clearly, he was talking about their sore spot.

“… I have to admit that after you became a demon lord, you already have the status to communicate with us as equals!” The war demon lord on the other side was slightly sullen, but he still thumped his chest with his right fist and said, “My name is Dioland, the Doomhammer, the Dragon Ripper, the Fang of Urgash, the Undertaker of the Falcon Empire!”

Not only did he introduce his demon name, but he also said a bunch of his titles. This Demon Lord Dioland’s self-introduction was very formal.

From his title, Roy could tell a lot of information. ‘Dragon Ripper’ represented his astonishing physical strength. ‘Fang of Urgash’ represented that he was a loyal lackey of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. ‘Undertaker of the Falcon Empire’ indicated that this demon lord might have participated in an ancient kingdom-annihilating war in the world of Ashan. As for the title of ‘Doomhammer’, Roy could not help but want to complain…

Warchief Orgrim, there’s a demon who has stolen your name…

“Okay, Demon Lord Dioland!” Roy nodded. “Although you know my name, there are other lords here, so I will repeat it!”

With that, Roy gave his titles.

“My name is Osiris, the Lord of Darkness and Winter, the Enemy of Fire Demons, the Master of Storms and Lightning, the Plague Tyrant, Destroyer of Humanity, the Claw of Samael, Servant of Lilith, Enemy of Gabriel, Enemy of Raphael…”

It’s not like I don’t know how to posture… But after Roy recounted his experiences, even he was shocked.

It turns out that I’ve done so many things after becoming a demon all these years…

He racked his brains to give himself a bunch of titles, and on the light screen, Dioland and the other eight demon lords were dumbfounded!

Urgash above! Who the f*ck is this Demon Osiris?!

The first few titles were still all right. A frost demon could indeed call himself the Lord of Darkness and Winter. As for the ‘Enemy of Fire Demons’, Kha-Beleth, the Inferno Overlord, had died in his hands, so this title was no problem. The title of the ‘Master of Storms and Lightning’ meant that he had mastered an additional elemental power. The ‘Plague Tyrant’ did not need mentioning… From the information they obtained, this Demon Osiris had indeed created a disastrous plague in Ashan, so this title was also acceptable.

But what about the ‘Destroyer of Humanity’ after that? Could this guy have participated in a war to destroy a world and eliminated all the humans in it?!

This was something that many demons could not do…

Actually, this title was not wrong. When Roy was in the Darksiders world, all the humans in that world were really extinct. As one of the participants, Roy could absolutely give himself this title…

As for the ‘Claw of Samael’ and ‘Servant of Lilith’, these two titles had truly frightened Dioland and the others. These two titles indicated that Osiris had once served under two famous demon kings!

Who was Samael? Who was Lilith?

They were two top big shots of the Abyss!

Roy did not lie about this. He had indeed served Samael and Lilith…

However, what was even more outrageous was the two titles ‘Enemy of Gabriel’ and ‘Enemy of Raphael’ because these two titles indicated that Demon Osiris had fought against these two supreme angels of Heaven before. Regardless of the situations of the battles, just from the fact that he was still standing here, it meant that he had at least survived under the hands of these two supreme angels… Titles were generally not something that people lied about. Even if there were exaggerations, at least it should have been something that they had experienced before daring to call themselves as such. Dioland and the others did not suspect that Roy was lying. After all, they were all demon lords, demons with status, and existences of the ruling class. It would be simply humiliating if their lies were seen through, and there was no reason for them to lie.

However, it was precisely because of this that Dioland and the others were frightened. Damn it. It seems like… that guy Kha-Beleth… died unjustly!

Although the eight demon lords behind Dioland did not report their names, they all walked out of the shadows and saluted Roy. It was the same for Dioland. He said solemnly to Roy, “Your experience is admirable. Lord Osiris, forgive me for my frankness, but how old are you now?”

Roy’s eyes flickered as he replied, “A hundred years old!”

Without a doubt, Roy falsely reported his age. In fact, it had only been about ten years since he became a demon. He had already exaggerated his age by ten times.

However, when they heard this age, they still gasped.

“You’re so young that it’s unbelievable!” Dioland exclaimed. “It only took you a hundred years to grow into a demon lord. Lord Osiris, your bloodline and talent are unparalleled! May I know which demon king’s direct bloodline you are?”

Hearing his tone, Roy felt goosebumps all over his body. He waved his hand and quickly changed the subject. “Okay, there’s not much time. Let’s get down to business!”

What demon king’s direct bloodline? If I could say it, wouldn’t I have said so earlier? It’s just a cheat. What bloodline do I need…

Seeing that Roy was unwilling to reveal it, they did not dare to continue asking. In any case, compared to the first time he contacted them, their attitude toward him had changed drastically.

They realized that the new demon lord opposite them was not lucky, nor was he an ignorant and reckless rookie, but a powerful demon with absolute strength and battle experience. Now, Demon Osiris was not only at the same rank as them, but he truly had the right to speak to them as equals.

“Okay!” Dioland nodded. “As you can see, behind me are the strongest demon lords in Sheogh at present. Our opinion represents the entire demon camp of Sheogh. Lord Osiris, if I’m not wrong, the baby in your hand should be the Dark Messiah, right?”

“That’s right. But like last time, my mind won’t change!” Roy said. “I won’t give the Dark Messiah to you. He can only be in my hands. And if you want to leave Sheogh, you have to rely on my power. For this, you have to pay a price!”

Dioland frowned. But instead of rejecting him directly like the first time, he turned his head and looked at the other eight demon lords behind him.

On the light screen, the scarlet eyes of several demon lords kept flashing, as though they were communicating with their souls…
