Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 230

Chapter 230 New Legend

In Roy’s view, the seven Dragon Balls he left in the world of Ashan were something that did not exist in it previously. Although information about the Dragon Balls had spread through the Sylanna’s Ancient, it was still uncertain if it was true or not. Moreover, without the help of the Dragon Ball Radar, it was impossible for anyone to gather the seven Dragon Balls in just a few years.

However, Roy’s thinking was actually wrong because he had overlooked something when he considered the problem. The flow of time in the Abyss was different from the flow of time in Ashan!

It could even be said that the flow of time in the Abyss and many other worlds was different…

Erathia Continent, Ashan.

On the land thousands of kilometers south of the kingdom of Erathia, there was a city called Ulambus. It was a city belonging to the Academy.

The Academy, also known as the Tower, was mainly named because there would often be a large number of pointed mage towers built in the Academy cities. Mages were the super forces that constituted this country. The country was called Bracada, and its capital was Silver City. The senate of mages called the Circle of Nine ruled it. In terms of the knowledge and laws of nature, the Academy mages were proud explorers. The Academy society pursued wisdom and knowledge, and mages would spend their entire lives studying and writing mystic research papers.

It could be said that it was precisely because of the mage researchers of the Academy that the various branches of magic in Ashan had been inherited and developed. The wizards had contributed greatly to the wisdom and knowledge of this world.

But sometimes, the curiosity and desire of exploration of mages was not necessarily a good thing.

In the 330th Year of the Seventh Dragon, the world of Ashan experienced its first total lunar eclipse, which weakened the seal of the demons imprisoned in Sheogh. The demons took the opportunity to escape their cage, and under the leadership of the demon lords, they wrecked chaos and destruction across the entire world. When the whole world was in danger, the various races of Ashan united to resist the invasion of the demons. At that time, the Academy mages responded to the summons and joined the war. However, in order to study the enemy demons, they secretly captured some of them and extracted their blood for research. They attempted to inoculate the demon blood into human bodies, and the experimental subjects were the criminals and slaves of humans!

However, everyone knew that demons had very strong bloodlines or genes in their blood. When they combined with some species that might be compatible with demon bloodlines, strange and unpredictable changes often occurred.

In the end, even though most of the slaves and criminals died under the demon blood, a small number of them eventually mutated and became a new species in the world of Ashan: huge and monstrous orcs!

These orcs were a race with complete bloodlines that could be inherited and reproduced. In the beginning, they did not have freedom but were enslaved by the mages. Because the orcs had demon bloodlines in their bodies, they tended to be violent and would become powerful. They were the best cannon fodder troops on the battlefield, and it was precisely because of the addition of these orcs that the alliance forces finally defeated the demons and sent them back to the outpost that the demons had established in this world.

However, after the war ended, the mages still did not let the orcs go free, so the orcs launched a rebellion. At that time, the human empire was not the kingdom of Erathia, but a religious empire known as the ‘Falcon Empire’. In an attempt to force the orcs to believe in its religion, the Falcon Empire joined the crusade against the orcs. This cruel war affected many races, and the degree of tragedy and brutality was no different from that of all the races fighting against the demons.

Although the orcs lost in the end and were driven to a remote and barren land, the various races were also severely injured and unable to give chase. In the end, they could only let them go.

After this experience, the Academy mages should have realized that this overly exuberant curiosity was not a good thing. But it was useless. They were still absolutely unscrupulous in their explorations and carrying out forbidden research. In their opinion, magic was the greatest power in the world. In the Academy cities, only mages who had mastered magic power were the noble upper-class citizens, and those who could not master magic power were all lower-class races. The lower-class races should be enslaved and driven by the upper-class!

In the entire Enroth continent, the mages of the Academy were recognized as the people with the most slaves because this was their philosophy…

At this moment, in the mage academy of Ulambus, several archmages were experimenting.

On a table were seven golden balls emitting a faint light. In these transparent balls, five-pointed stars were visible. Needless to say, these were the seven Dragon Balls that Roy had left behind when he left this world.

The archmages picked up these seven Dragon Balls, placed them on unknown magical instruments one after another, and carried out various tests. Whenever there was a certain result, these archmages would seriously lower their heads and record it. “The texture is very uniform. The weight of each bead is fixed to thirteen tinkles (Ashan measurement unit, about 66.6 grams)!”

“I can’t analyze what material it is. I have never seen this material before. It doesn’t seem to be material from this world…”

“All the beads have a fixed vibration frequency. When two are close to each other, this vibration frequency increases!” “This vibration frequency is a little… a little familiar…”

“But there are no magic power fluctuations. How strange…” As the results of the analyses came out one by one, the archmages present gradually became confused.

“That’s impossible, right? If these things are really a treasure related to the era of the Seventh Dragon, how could they not have any magic power characteristics?!” an archmage asked loudly. “Any magic creation is bound to leave behind magic power fluctuations unless they’re fake!”

“But this is the truth!” Another archmage spread his hands. “Whether it’s evil or holy, there are no characteristics of Chaos and Order. These beads don’t have any magic power at all, but it seems unlikely that they’re fake because we’ve never seen the material used to make these beads before. What kind of fakes could be made so exquisite?”

“Perhaps these beads are like this under normal circumstances?” Another archmage stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, “Do you still remember that in the legends about these seven Dragon Balls, they have an incantation? Perhaps we can try to chant the incantation. At that time, these beads may change.”

“But that’s only a rumor. I’ve read most of the information about the history of this world, but I’ve never seen anything mentioning seven Dragon Balls!” said an archmage wearing a monocle. “I think we should start with that strange vibration!”

These mages were arguing incessantly. They had been studying these beads for a few days, and they had formed their own understanding of the beads. They all felt that they were right and wanted to persuade the others to study them according to their own method…

It had to be said that the legend that Roy spread through the Sylanna’s Ancient was quite attractive.

In the world of Ashan, legends about the era of the Seventh Dragon had always been circulating. The myth of the creation of this world was about the two twin dragons: the Dragon of Order, Asha, and the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. It could be said that in the world of Ashan, dragons were the gods of this world, and the religions of the various races often believed in these dragon gods.

And the Dragon Balls that Roy had left behind were no more and no less, exactly seven of them. This secretly corresponded to the legends of this world. When Roy chatted with the Sylanna’s Ancient about these seven Dragon Balls, he did not elaborate too much. However, rumors were like this. The more rumors spread, the more ridiculous they became. During the years since he left, the legends about the seven Dragon Balls had gradually changed.

The current version of the legend was this: When the war between the Primordial Dragons Aasha and Urgash broke out, and they heavily injured each other and had to recuperate, the power they left in the universe turned into a huge Dragon Ball. This Dragon Ball finally gave birth to the Six Elemental Dragons, namely the Dragon of Darkness, Malassa; the Dragon of Light, Elrath; the Dragon of the Earth, Sylanna; the Dragon of Fire, Arkath; the Dragon of Water, Shalassa; and the Dragon of Air, Ylath. These Six Elemental Dragons corresponded to the first to the sixth Dragon Ball, and when the wizard Sar-Elam came into contact with the heart of the sleeping Dragon of Order in the void and obtained the inheritance to become the Seventh Dragon, the seventh Dragon Ball was born.

Now, these seven Dragon Balls were scattered in all corners of Ashan. If someone could gather these seven Dragon Balls, they might be able to summon the Dragon of Order or the Dragon of Chaos to bring back the myths!

The version of this legend had changed a lot from the story Roy had made up to the Sylanna’s Ancient. The rumors in this version might contain some people’s anticipation for the Dragon Balls, so in the years since he left, not only were humans and elves searching for these Dragon Balls, but even demons, dark elves, and undead were searching for them.

Needless to say, the Order races hoped to use the Dragon Balls to summon Asha, but the demons and undead wanted to use the Dragon Balls to summon Urgash…

But when Roy spread the seven Dragon Balls out, he had not spread them out too far. As a result, the first people to gather the Dragon Balls were actually the Academy mages of Ulambus. Out of curiosity and for the exploration of knowledge, they were the first to become interested in the Dragon Ball legends, so they moved faster than other races.

However, although the mages were the first to gather all the Dragon Balls, their philosophy was, ‘No Gods, no Masters. Knowledge is Power, and Power is Freedom’. The mages did not regard dragons as gods, and they thought that they were just more powerful beings. They believed that after enough learning and experimenting, they could reach the power of dragons, so they did not actually believe the legends of Dragon Balls. So after obtaining the Dragon Balls, they did not immediately chant the incantation in the legends, but first brought them to the Academy city to research and analyze.

However, after testing with all kinds of instruments, they did not find anything special about the Dragon Balls. After the fruitless research, the mages finally decided to give it a try and see if the rumored incantation was really effective…
