Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 458 - Discord

Chapter 458: Discord

The battle between Roy, Sparda, and Mundus affected a large area of the Demon World, so no demon dared to approach when the three were fighting.

But the battle was over, and Mundus’s body was destroyed. After Balder left the Demon World and escaped to the other world, the demons understood that the victor was determined, so they began to approach cautiously.

They were clear that the reign of Mundus had come to an end, and it was now the time for a new ruler to ascend. This situation was common for demons, so they did not feel any burden. Their only worry now was whether the new ruler would be temperamental and vent his anger on them.

As for becoming the new ruler of the Demon World, Roy naturally would not decline. He flew into the air, and his three pairs of enormous demon wings spread open. Surging magic power radiated out wantonly as he declared his status to the demons of the Demon World.

“I, Demon Lord Osiris, have completely taken over the entire Demon World at this moment. From now on, all of you will submit to me. Those who disobey will die!”

Groups of low-level demons obediently lay on the ground while trembling. Although the stronger demons could still stand, they still looked at the imposing figure in the sky with worshipful eyes.

Dante looked up at Roy and whispered to Sparda, “Old man, you’re also a demon lord. Why don’t you become the ruler?”

“It’s impossible!” Sparda shook his head and replied in a low voice, “Mundus has already ruined my reputation. To the demons of the Demon World, I will always be a traitor. Even though Mundus has left, it’s impossible for them to acknowledge me. But Osiris is different. His pure Abyss aura will only make the demons revere him more...”

Hearing Sparda say this, Dante, Vergil, and the others stopped talking.

The demons within a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers gathered to express their submission under Roy’s magic power. As his magic power continued to spread, more and more demons gathered toward Demon King City to worship the new ruler of the Demon World.

Although Roy’s Frostfire City in the Abyss had an area of more than two thousand square kilometers, this size was not simply worth mentioning compared to the Demon World. Similarly, the number of demons living in the Demon World was thousands of times more than Frostfire City. This was the first time Roy had obtained so many demons as his subordinates. Looking at the densely packed figures on the ground that spread far into the distance, Roy felt great.

But not long after, discordant voices appeared.

Some powerful demonic auras appeared in the distance and were approaching. Before they arrived, a thunderous roar came first. “Osiris! As a demon lord, what right do you have to dare to claim to rule the Demon World?!”

In the sky, Roy looked down and found that there were nine demon lords of various sizes. They were currently flapping their wings or rushing over on the ground toward this place.

Yes, the area of the Demon World was too large. There were still other demon lords on this land, and they were all generals under Mundus and in charge of commanding the army for him.

Among them, there were even a few former colleagues of Sparda!

The first one that came into view was an enormous... fire bull! It was a four-legged demon lord with a human upper body whose entire body was burning with raging flames like a fire kirin. This demon lord ran all the way on the ground, leaving a neat trail of flames on the dark ground. The blazing flames formed a pair of light wings on his back, making him look majestic. He also held a giant broadsword in his hand, and the high temperature made the tip of the sword turn scarlet red.

When Roy saw this demon lord, he immediately thought of Kha-Beleth. Needless to say, he was an Inferno Overlord!

“Ah! It’s this guy?!” Nero could not help exclaiming when he saw the Inferno Overlord. When he was in the human world, he had fought this guy. At that time, because they were in the human world, this guy’s strength seemed to be affected, allowing Nero to beat him back. He did not expect to encounter him again here.

Should I hide? Nero looked at his cybernetic arm. When I repelled that guy, he said some fierce words. What if he sees me and wants to fight me again? Too troublesome...

Unfortunately, Inferno Overlord Berial did not see Nero at all. As he ran over, he kept staring aggressively at Roy in the sky.

In addition to Inferno Overlord Berial, a colossal... centipede appeared in the distant sky!

This insect-type demon lord’s body was even longer than Rafaro’s. This centipede demon did not have demon wings, and his long body relied on magic power to fly in the sky. His face was a terrifying skull, and deep in his eye sockets burned were faint green flames burning. Two long tentacles replaced his demon horns and swayed with the wind on his skull.

Clearly, this was a demon lord who was adept at using poison...

What Roy cared about the most was another demon who came gracefully, and the reason he used the word gracefully was that this demon lord was female!

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a female demon lord... Of course, except for Junia when Julia and Benia merged.

The female demon lord looked like a gigantic moth. The demon wings behind her were a pair of huge moth wings. On her colorful, black wings, there was an extremely strange-looking eye on the left and right. Moreover, it did not seem to be a pattern but was alive, and it could even rotate and observe.

She had an extremely enchanting figure, and her entire body was faintly wrapped in silk threads like a cocoon. Her long hair coiled into a ring above her head, hiding her demon horns within it. When she was flying in the sky, the tails of her wide, colorful, black moth wings would occasionally sprinkle down fluorescent powder.

“Who is she?” Roy asked Sparda.

“Madama Styx! That’s what they call her. As for her demon name, no one has ever mentioned it!” Sparda replied. “Be careful. Although this woman isn’t too strong, she has extraordinary wisdom.”

Roy nodded and stopped talking. In his perception, these three demon lords were the most worthy of his attention. Although the other demon lords all looked distinctive and awe-inspiring, he did not care about their strength at all.

In other words, the remaining demon lords were even worse than Roy when he had just promoted...

But no matter what, they were still demon lords, and their strength was qualitatively different from that of high-rank demons. They were considered relatively powerful existences in the Demon World.

The one who had spoken to Roy earlier was naturally Inferno Overlord Berial. In blazing flames, he rushed not far below Roy and raised his flame sword to point at Roy. “Osiris, you want to become the ruler of the Demon World, but have you asked us?!”

Roy grinned sinisterly, crossed his arms, and slowly lowered his altitude. He came near Berial’s head and sized him up before saying, “Did the flames burn your brains? I defeated Mundus, so it’s naturally me who replaces him. If you wanted to sit in this position, why didn’t you step up and challenge him?!”

“Who says I haven’t challenged him?!” A large group of sparks spewed out of Berial’s thick ox nose. He gritted his teeth and said, “I admit that I can’t defeat Mundus, but was it really you who defeated Mundus? Even though I didn’t witness the entire battle with my own eyes, I heard that you borrowed the power of that bastard Sparda, right?”

Roy immediately understood and could not help but glance at Sparda, thinking that these guys were questioning him because of Sparda.

Indeed, when Roy and Sparda fought Mundus, although their astonishing power spread throughout the entire Demon World, the demon lords far away in their territories could only sense the magic power and could not see the specific battle situation. Their perception of the magic power naturally made them discover their former acquaintance—Sparda!

In the entire Demon World, Sparda’s name was still very resounding. As Mundus’s former right-hand man, many demons had witnessed Sparda’s combat strength and were quite convinced of this general of the Demon World, especially after he killed his way into Demon King City alone and sealed Mundus. Although the demon lords kept saying that he was a traitor, they were still quite fearful of his strength.

Since Sparda could defeat Mundus once, it was normal for him to defeat him again. It was precisely because of this preconceived notion that they thought that Roy had relied on Sparda’s strength in the battle with Mundus. Now, after Mundus had escaped in a sorry state, Roy came forward and declared that he would replace Mundus’s position. Of course, Berial and other demon lords would certainly not be convinced.

They had been suppressed by Mundus for thousands of years. Now that Mundus had finally been defeated and escaped, they naturally saw the hope of becoming the ruler of the Demon World, so they could not wait to come out of their territories and rush to Demon Lord City.

Not only was Roy aware of their thoughts, but Sparda was as well. He could not help but sigh and whisper, “Although I am a traitor and can’t rule the Demon World, do you idiots think you can? Although Osiris’s magic power is inferior to Mundus’s, can you compare to him?”

Julia and Benia also looked at the big fiery bull Berial in contempt and agreed. “Yes, how could they know that Osiris didn’t even use his True Name Liberation state when fighting Mundus...”

“Beat them up! Foster Father, beat them ruthlessly!” Sareth drew his gun, Calamity, and gestured at Berial’s legs, wishing he could go on stage as well...
