Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Nightmares

The demon lords were naturally very happy that Roy could gather all the artifacts so quickly, so they spared no effort in flattering him.

Of course, Roy would not take this flattery seriously. To be honest, he had always been on guard against these demon lords. Although they were currently imprisoned in Sheogh and had no choice but to seek his help, if they managed to escape, there would definitely be a conflict of interests. At that time, these fellows would not be so easy to talk to.

Roy had seen the fight between Xeron and his group of high-rank demons. Not only were demons of the same rank selfish and self-serving, but even sisters like Benia and Biara, who were born from the same demon egg, would fight and hurt each other. It could be said that demons did not have the concept of companions and friends at all. The only thing that could maintain a good relationship was the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Since Roy had obtained the artifacts, Dioland and the others naturally urged him to contact Urgash. From their mouths, Roy learned that the method to use these two artifacts was actually pretty simple. After wearing them, he would try his best to feel the frequency of the magic power fluctuations on them and then adjust his soul consciousness and magic power fluctuations to be the same as them.

Roy did not intend to do it in front of Dioland and the others, so he cut off the connection between the two sides and did it alone in the secret room.

It was not difficult to control magic power fluctuations, but it was a bit difficult to adjust the frequency of his soul consciousness together. He sat quietly in the secret room for a long time before gradually mastering the trick. After adjusting the frequency, Roy gradually became absent-minded. In his perception, the surrounding environment suddenly became hazy, and the flames in the room disappeared as he entered a thoroughly dark space.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the dark space began to change. In the misty darkness, a large number of strange and bizarre creatures with distorted bodies and hideous faces suddenly emerged. In his perception, these strange monsters roared and screamed in pain as they pounced at him, frantically pulled his body, and opened their mouths to bite him.

This situation naturally gave Roy a scare. He subconsciously wanted to stop this communication, but he found that his soul consciousness seemed to have fallen into an incomparably sticky quagmire and unable to escape. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank into this quagmire.

“Get lost!” Roy gritted his teeth as he tried to get rid of these monsters that were biting him. But when he threw one away, more would pounce on him. In this strange space, he could not use any magic or strength to fight back. In just a moment, the monsters tore apart his entire body, making holes everywhere.

Even so, while he did not notice any blood flowing out of his body, every time they bit him, he would feel pain, fear, regret, and madness from the wounds to his consciousness.

“It’s an illusion! But… why is it so real?!” Roy struggled while forcing himself to calm down and think about this strange situation.

But before he could figure it out, these strange and crazy monsters in the darkness suddenly disappeared. Then the dark mist transformed into a boundless sea of flames that instantly enveloped his entire body and burned his body frenziedly.

Under the burning of the sea of flames, an unparalleled intense pain came. This pain was so intense that it exceeded the limit that Roy could endure, making him roar uncontrollably.

He could not escape, nor did he have any way to deal with it. He could only passively endure all of this while suffering in this endless sea of flames.

After some time, perhaps a century, or perhaps just an instant, the sea of flames suddenly disappeared. But this time, nothing strange evolved in the dark space. Instead, it became empty, having absolutely nothing at all.

But what followed closely was a strong sense of emptiness, and the space where Roy could see nothing exacerbated this immense sense of emptiness. He felt as though his whole heart had fallen into an endless abyss. He was sinking and then gradually became numb. His entire mind and thoughts began to become sealed.

After the strong sense of emptiness, an indescribable sense of hunger followed. The moment this sense of hunger attacked, he felt his eyes turn green. He felt that his mouth was salivating wildly, yet facing the empty dark space, he did not have any food to alleviate his hunger. In this situation, he even stretched out his hand to grab the dark mist and send it desperately into his mouth.

In the end, no matter how much mist he swallowed, he could not relieve his hunger…

He was about to go crazy. What the hell is this?! Why did communicating with Urgash suddenly become such strange illusions?!

Wait, they’re not illusions! Just as the dark space was changing again, Roy suddenly understood and finally realized his true situation.

Dream! This is Urgash’s dream! This guy is having nightmares. Only this explanation can explain it!

According to the rumors circulating in the Ashan world, after the war with Asha, Urgash was injured and sealed in the core of this planet. He had been sleeping and healing himself through his deep sleep, and Asha’s situation was similar to that of Urgash. Both of the Primordial Dragons suffered injuries. But the difference was that, according to legend, Asha returned to the moon and fell into a deep sleep.

Roy was communicating with Urgash’s will through the two artifacts. If Urgash were still awake, Roy would definitely be able to communicate with his soul consciousness. Moreover, it would instead be Urgash who actively called and contacted demon lords like him because of their powerful souls.

However, this referred to the situation when Urgash was awake…

It had been a long time since a demon lord had contacted Urgash in Ashan, and no one knew what Urgash’s current situation was. Roy was the first demon lord to communicate with Urgash in the past thousand years.

Unfortunately, at this time, not only was Urgash in a deep sleep, but he was also having nightmares. The moment Roy and his soul connected, he fell into his dream.

In this dream, all kinds of strange situations could appear. Because of the connection between their souls, Roy would see whatever Urgash saw in the dream, and Roy would experience whatever Urgash experienced.

Pain, madness, fear, endless emptiness and hunger… At this moment, the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, was suffering and undergoing torment. If he did not wake up, Roy would fall into eternal nightmares like him.

Roy wanted to break the soul connection, but after trying many times, he found that he could not do it. This was probably because Urgash’s soul power was far stronger than his. Once they reached the same soul frequency, this resonance would continue. Unless Urgash took the initiative to remove it, Roy could not stop it.

“Damn it! What’s going on?!” Roy was dripping with cold sweat. He knew that he had fallen into a grave situation. He found that he was even cut off from the system and could not obtain any help at all. The dream in front of him had even evolved into the final battle between Urgash and Asha. The two massive dragons, who were so incredibly enormous that it was unbelievable and difficult to see their faces clearly, were biting and killing each other in this dark space. And this dream was full of endless hatred and anger.

Without needing to guess, it was Urgash’s hatred for Asha. This emotional attack almost drowned Roy’s consciousness.

Roy gritted his teeth and tightly held onto the last bit of clarity in his consciousness. At the same time, he shouted, “Urgash! Urgash! You idiot! Quickly wake up!”

Roy had no choice but to use this shout to try to awaken Urgash. After all, he was in his dream, and he could probably hear this shout.

After shouting dozens of times, a tremor suddenly appeared in the dark space.

“Who… Who are you?” An empty voice echoed in this space.

Hearing this voice, Roy finally heaved a sigh of relief. His guess was right, and Urgash indeed responded.

“Wake up, Urgash. You can’t continue having nightmares like this!” Roy shouted.

“I… can’t wake up…” Urgash’s voice came again, but his voice was full of pain and struggle. “A… thing… is corroding… me…”

“What is it?” Roy asked.

“I… I don’t… know. It’s endless… darkness…”

“Darkness? You’re the Dragon of Chaos!” Roy almost cursed. “What kind of darkness can corrode you?!”

“Because… it’s darker… deeper… and more terrifying…” A trace of fear actually appeared in his voice. As he spoke, the dark space began to become turbulent again, even showing signs of becoming stronger. Sensing that something was wrong, Roy hurriedly shouted, “Send me out and break the soul connection between us. Maybe I can find a way to save you!” “Really?” The turbulence in the space paused.

“I can’t guarantee it, but you have to understand that if I fall into your nightmares, no one else will know your current situation!” Roy shouted.

The next second, Roy’s vision suddenly turned black, and the strange space he saw earlier disappeared instantly. He hurriedly opened his eyes and found that his surrounding environment was inside the secret room. He knew that he had finally touched Urgash and got him to break the soul connection.

“Damn it!” Cold sweat covered Roy’s entire body. He slammed the ground hard, shattering it into pieces.

He never thought that this seemingly ordinary soul communication would fall into such a strange situation. Fortunately, even though Urgash had fallen into nightmares, he had not completely fallen and still retained a trace of consciousness. Otherwise, he might not have been able to persuade him.

Before he could rejoice, Urgash’s weak voice came in his mind. “Demon, quickly… save me…”

Roy’s face was dark, and he did not respond. Instead, he opened his system interface to check his current status.

Roy was stunned.

There was an anomaly in his personal attribute page!

‘Weak Void Infection’…

When Roy saw this abnormal status, a bright bolt of lightning seemed to flash in his mind, and he instantly understood.

Void corrosion! F*ck, I was wondering what the hell was going on! It seems like this guy, Urgash, has already been corroded by Void power! All his nightmares are due to the influence of Void power…
