Chapter 85: Being Seen

Roy felt that César would never have thought that sacrificing his life to reactivate the Balotan Pillar during the cooling down period of his return and forcibly teleporting across worlds again would attract the attention of the demon lord!

Moreover, he would never have thought that Rogeros could trace the destination coordinates of the Gate of the Abyss he used to teleport…

In fact, it was normal for a middle-rank demon to be far from the level of a demon lord. Thus, it was fundamentally impossible for him to understand how powerful a demon lord was.

The Gates of the Abyss were set up by these high-level demons, so how could they not know how they operated?

If César knew what happened afterward, he would never have given up his body so easily…

As for Roy, he felt that the mission was quite troublesome. He had wasted so much time only to still let César escape. But at the same time, Roy was very curious. He wanted to know why César was so adamant about fleeing to another world. Even if he feared Demon Lord Rogeros, he should not be so afraid that he would hide forever. The Abyss was so vast that it was not as though Rogeros was the only demon lord. Would it not be possible to steel himself to serve another demon lord for protection?

Or was he worried that his status as a middle-rank demon was too low and that it would be impossible for the demon lord to protect his life, so he steeled himself and staked everything on this?

Roy did not know what César was thinking. But after careful consideration, he felt that César’s action of using the Balotan Pillar to travel to another world was similar to him leaving the Dragon Balls in the Heroes of Might and Magic world! Both of them were an escape route.

What was different was that Roy could make what he wanted through the system, but César could not, so he could only take the risk of offending the demon lord to steal it… This made Roy realize that even middle-rank demons could still not be considered free…

Strength, strength, strength was everything in the Abyss!

The mist of the Gate of the Abyss dissipated, and Roy appeared with Fat Tiger. The moment he appeared, he immediately felt the will of the world!

Every world had its own self-protection mechanism, and there would be instinctive repulsion for existences that came from other worlds. This was the principle of a world’s repulsive power, but the laws of a world were not necessarily perfect. When the intelligent beings of a world mastered a certain degree of mysticism, they could open a passage through space on their own. The world itself could not stop this, which was the origin of the summoning ceremony.

At the same time, powerful beings could forcefully open this kind of spatial passage. Of course, this was not easy, so even powerful beings rarely did this.

Roy could feel that the repulsive force of this world was stronger than that of the Heroes of Might and Magic world, but it was lower than that of the Van Helsing world, which meant that this world was not a low-magic world, but it was a high-magic world either.

Using his magic power, Roy began resisting the repulsive force and then estimated how long he could stay in this world based on the consumption of his magic power.

The conclusion was about thirty days. If Roy could not find César in this month, then he would have to find someone from this world to sign a demon contract with.

Roy looked around and found himself in a pile of rubble!

It was night time, but with his dark vision, Roy could still see the appearance of the ruins clearly. It seemed to be a village, but there were no signs of life now. A large number of collapsed walls and houses formed countless rubble and wood, piling up together in messes. And in these messes were many human household goods. Roy rummaged around and found some kettles, washbasins, and clothes. This meant that this world was at least a civilized society, and there were already light industrial products, but he seldom saw electronic products.

In addition, Roy saw many corpses buried under the rubble.

The corpses were rotten and smelled, but he could see that they were human. The cause of these humans’ deaths seemed to have been from the impact of explosions. Many corpses were incomplete… And it seemed like these explosions should have happened not long ago.

What kind of world is this? It looks like Earth, but what year is it?

After exploring for a while, Roy could only give up. After all, he was not a professional detective and could not tell much from these ruins.

Roy raised his wrist and looked at the memory crystal. But what annoyed Roy was that the memory crystal could no longer indicate the direction of the Balotan Pillar!

What happened? Could César reactivating the Balotan Pillar have damaged the positioning signal in it?

While annoyed, Roy suddenly felt a slight tremor.

The trembling was gradually intensifying. However, it was not an earthquake but something approaching from afar.

He spread his wings, flew up into the air, and went toward the vibrations with Fat Tiger. Before long, Roy found lights in the periphery of the village ruins.

It was a group of vehicles. Roy saw several motorcycles and automobiles in it. These motorcycles were military motorcycles, which looked very old, and the automobiles were the typical large trucks.

However, what surprised Roy the most was the few big guys traveling together with the convoy!

Long barrels, caterpillar tracks, these big guys turned out to be a few tanks!

They rumbled along on the ground and followed the convoy toward the village ruins. The ground vibrations earlier were from them.

And at this time, Roy clearly saw a familiar military emblem on these tanks…

Sh*t! The Germans? During World War II?!

Roy was shocked. He never thought that the world that César was hiding in would turn out to be a World War II world. Speaking of which, in such a world, were there any people that could summon demons?!

However, Roy fell into deep thought afterward. He felt that he seemed to understand why César wanted to come to this world!

War! Everything was for war! As everyone knew, wars were often periods where humans died in massive numbers, especially during World War II. There were countless civilian deaths because of the war, as well as soldiers from various countries. These dead people meant a lot of souls!

In comparison, although the Heroes of Might and Magic world had also been at war for a long time, a war in a magic world and a war in a scientific world were two completely different things.

Did César choose to come to this world to harvest a large number of souls with the help of the war?

Or could World War II have been caused by César secretly? After all, he’s been in this world for a long time and should have made a lot of arrangements…

Roy hovered in the air, thinking wildly about what kind of world he had come to. The German army below was preparing to enter the village ruins for repairs and maintenance.

A German soldier with a gun jumped down from a truck. He seemed to feel his addiction kick in, so he took out an unfiltered cigarette from his pocket and took out a lighter to light a cigarette.

However, just as he was about to light the cigarette, the soldier seemed to see something with the help of the flame and raised his head curiously.

The next moment, the cigarette in his mouth fell…

It was very difficult to see clearly at night, and it was a moonless night tonight, but at least he could see a general shape. When the soldier saw Roy’s silhouette in the air, his entire body trembled, and he screamed with all his might in German!

The scream naturally alerted the other soldiers. They immediately picked up their guns and looked in the direction the soldier was pointing.

Similar to the soldier, when the other soldiers saw the strange, winged, humanoid creature in the night sky, a commotion immediately broke out!

Alarms began to ring, and the soldiers started moving. They raised the searchlights on the tanks and shone them at Roy in the air…

Roy was deep in thought and had forgotten to hide. He did not expect that in such a short time, strong lights would shoot at him, and his entire body was seen by all the German soldiers below…

It’s too late to hide now…
