Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 420 Hellhound King

After the plague storm ended, Sareth looked at the silent scene around him in a daze, his hands still holding his scythe.

Although Sareth knew that his foster father was very powerful, he had never really seen Roy’s true strength. It could be said that this was the first time Sareth had faced the terrifying power of a true demon lord.

None of the demons in the Qliphoth could resist…

It seems… a little too much… Sareth thought as he put away Executioner. He looked around and found that there were no longer any moving objects.

All right. In any case, the following path will be easier! Sareth joked as he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and continued forward. At this moment, he did not know that he had severely injured his teammates. The spread of the plague storm had exceeded the range that Sareth could see.

On another side, V and Nero could only stop and call Nico for help.

When Nico, driving the car with a cigarette in her mouth, found V, she realized that he could not even walk anymore. The handsome V had now become a miserable man.

Seeing this, Nico was so shocked that the cigarette fell from her mouth. She quickly went forward to help V and placed him into the car for a checkup. Although she was a weaponsmith, she also knew a little about medicine. After checking V, she had a strange and incredulous expression on her face. She said uncertainly, “Your symptoms… look like radiation sickness?”

“Radiation sickness?” V was puzzled after hearing this.

“I’m not too sure. After all, I don’t have any medical equipment here, so I can’t do a detailed examination.” Nico spread her hands. “But judging from the symptoms on your body, it’s really similar to radiation sickness… Damn, what did you experience? Was it due to a powerful demon?”

“It’s a long story…” V struggled to sit up. “If I’m not wrong, Nero probably encountered the same thing as me. We have to find him quickly.”

Nico did not waste any time and returned to the driver’s seat. She floored the accelerator, and the car sped off.

As she drove, she looked out of the window. “I noticed just now. Why didn’t I encounter a single living demon along the way? All I saw were piles of bones… Did you do this?”

“No… It wasn’t us!” V panted as he recounted the situation earlier to Nico. Nico’s eyes widened. “A black storm? Was it that powerful? Did Urizen discover that we were here and attacked us?”

“Impossible!” V shook his head. “The ones who suffered the most casualties were his demons. Why would he do that?”

“It’s hard to say!” Nico said. “What if he thinks that it’s too slow to nurture the fruit with human blood, so he might as well get demons to contribute some of their strength…”

“…” V did not know how to answer. It was indeed possible. Didn’t they see that the souls of the dead demons had been absorbed by the Qliphoth?

Speeding all the way, Nico and V drove to the place where they had agreed to meet with Nero. They found Nero and saw that his condition was not bad. Although he also had radiation symptoms, they were much lighter than V’s.

“First, we were less exposed to the black storm. Second, the stronger the physical fitness, the stronger the resistance to radiation symptoms!” Nero guessed. “I can feel that the illness in our bodies is weakening… But no matter what, we have to stop and rest for a while. Let’s go find Sareth first.”

After hearing Nero’s words, Nico was stunned for a moment. “Sareth? He didn’t call me!”

“Huh?!” Nero and V raised their heads to look at Nico. Nico spread her hands and said, “Don’t look at me like that. He really didn’t. Perhaps he didn’t encounter the black storm and escaped the disaster.”

“No… there’s another possibility!” V smiled bitterly and shook his head. “He might… not know how to use a phone!”

With a bang, a bolt from the blue struck the minds of Nero and Nico!

“Oh… oh no! It’s really possible!” Nico grabbed Nero’s left arm and said anxiously, “What should we do now?”

“Don’t worry. Let’s go find him now!” Nero sighed. “Sure enough, we shouldn’t have let him come. Now, apart from Dante’s three, we have to find another one…”

“Nothing might have happened to Sareth…” V said. “Moreover, the black storm has cleared out all the demons, so it’s convenient to find them.”

There was not much medicine in Nico’s car. After finding some for the two to consume, the remaining radiation symptoms could only be overcome by Nero and V on their own. The two of them lay in the car to rest while Nico drove around, trying to find any possible traces of Sareth.

At the same time, at the place where the Qliphoth stopped was where Urizen’s new throne was.

In fact, the Qliphoth was three thousand meters tall, and not all of its interior was empty. The place where Urizen put his throne was basically at the end. Any higher, and the trunk of the Qliphoth was solid.

After all, the top of the tree had the ‘hell apple’ fruit, and it was impossible for Urizen to let anyone go through the passage to the top of the tree. He was a demon lord, and not only did he possess spatial power, but he also had Yamato, a weapon that could cut open space. If he wanted to go to the top of the tree, he could open a spatial rift at any time and directly pass through. In addition, the top of the tree was under the protection of a barrier, so he could ensure that no one other than him could touch this important fruit.

There were countless roots entwined around Urizen’s body. These roots connected to the Qliphoth, and not only could they transmit magic power to the tree, but they could also sense the maturity of the ‘hell apple’.

However, just now, through these roots, Urizen suddenly sensed a thought of pain coming from the tree! In the plague storm that Sareth released, of course there were viruses that were effective against plants. Even demon plants would be affected and wither. The plague storm had wreaked havoc inside the Qliphoth and naturally affected the tree. At this moment, if anyone looked from the outside, they would find that the tree bark, which was originally as thick as a city wall, was slowly changing color, turning from blackish-gray to white.

The Qliphoth was massive, so its life force was naturally very strong. Although the pathogens in the plague storm had infected the tree, they could not make the tree wither like other weak plants. But even so, the tree showed signs of extensive decay, and the infected areas were gradually becoming fragile and rotten.

The thought of pain that Urizen had felt came from the Qliphoth after it got sick…

Moreover, not only did Urizen feel the thought of pain coming from the Qliphoth, but he also noticed that the auras of many demons in the tree had suddenly disappeared!

He could only roughly sense it, so he did not understand the specific situation. Thus, in doubt, he prepared to send someone to check the situation.

The throne that Urizen was on was in an enormous hall, and at the entrance of the hall was a giant demon gate. Outside the gate was a huge… watchdog!

This watchdog was a three-headed hellhound, but unlike ordinary three-headed hellhounds, this one was even bigger and more ferocious because it was the king of hellhounds! It was the oldest three-headed hellhound that Urizen had found in the Demon World. He used this hellhound king to guard his gate to show his respected status.

Urizen stretched out a hand and waved at the gate of the hall from afar to open it. After hearing the loud bang from the gate, the hellhound king guarding the gate turned around.

This big dog had several iron stakes inserted into it, and on the other end of the iron stakes was a thick chain that firmly tied the hellhound king to the gate. Urizen opened his hand, and the chains binding the hellhound king instantly snapped. Urizen said to the hellhound king, who had obtained freedom, “Another rat has snuck in, and many demons have died. Find out the reason!”

The hellhound king lowered its three heads and wagged its tail at Urizen, indicating that it understood. Then it saw Urizen open an enormous spatial rift, and the hellhound king jumped into it…

And the place where this rift connected to was near where Sareth was…
