Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 15: T-Virus Transformation! Adult Period!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During this period, Roy had been thinking that he would have died in the lava river if Spider Queen Araniya had shot a shadow arrow or a spiderweb at him while he was on the rock.

However, Araniya did not use such magic. It was not just her. Roy had not met any demon throughout his journey that used magic in the truest sense of the word.

He would have thought that there was no magic in this world if it was not because he could clearly see a magic energy stat as an attribute...

Now came the question. Roy had magic energy as an attribute since he was born, so that meant that the other demons should as well. However, why was it that none of them used magic?

Could a demon who did not know magic be considered a demon at all?

Roy observed for a long time before he made his guesses.

His first guess was that the magic energy reserve of low-rank demons was too low to meet the conditions to use magic. His second guess was that the power of magic released was too weak and not as efficient as physical attacks, which was why low-rank demons did not like to use it.

His last guess was that the demons on the upper level of the Abyss had magic energy, but because of the lack of inheritance of magic knowledge, they did not know how to use magic at all!

Simply put, they were uneducated and uncivilized...

In fact, after giving it some thought, the third guess was probably the case. The upper level of the Abyss was chaotic and had fighting all day long. It was basically another version of human slums. Even if there was a demon language, he had not even seen a demon that was literate. It was no wonder there was not any inheritance of knowledge!

Perhaps he could only head to the lower levels of this Abyss to obtain the knowledge of magic after becoming strong enough in this upper level. If that were the case, it would explain why there were not any high-rank demons on this level. The high-rank demons were elites and were not going to live in slums with these peasants...

Roy felt refreshed, feeling like he stumbled upon the truth. If it was really what he guessed, did that mean that he could create a magic skill?

This was not impossible. Roy was an anomaly among the demons after all. He could use the customization system to modify himself, so he did not need to follow the usual route of demon evolution!

The ability to use magic in the upper level of the Abyss where most of the other demons did not know how to use magic was an advantage that required no explanation!

Roy had a feeling of superiority originating from human intellect over these low-rank demons with muscles in their heads. He basked in the joy of crushing them not only with his intellect but also with his strength.

Just do it, it was time to make a wave!

No matter how sure the plan looked, his priority was to ensure the supply of souls.

The first thing that Roy thought of was the T-Virus. He had drawn the material, so he would definitely use it. Roy estimated that he would need a hundred or so ‘complete low-quality’ souls to materialize it. Not only could the T-Virus greatly increase his physical strength, but it would also increase the possibility of giving him a superpower like Psychokinesis! Roy’s original definition of T-Virus was Perfect Infusion after all.

Although Psychokinesis probably could not be considered magic, Roy was not that demanding. He was satisfied as long as it served its purpose.

Next, Roy entered hardcore mode and launched a massacre. All the demons and monsters weaker than Roy faced tough luck since he killed to hunt souls, not just for food!

Sneak attacks, ambushes, traps, Roy did everything he could to harvest souls!

In fact, many demons were cunning, but that generally referred to the monsters that had survived for a long time in the upper level of the Abyss, or those that had reached maturity, and formed their wisdom during their hunting experiences. However, the weaker demons and monsters that had not survived that long had yet to gather enough experience, and they were direct in their approach to combat—fight the opponent head-on and be done with it!

Therefore, this was the most vulnerable phase for demons and monsters. Those that could get through it would gradually smarten up, while death awaited those that could not.

This was why Araniya was surprised by Roy’s cleverness. In her impression, a little demon like Roy was in his vulnerable phase, so how was it possible for him to be so cunning?

And now, Roy was specifically catching demons and monsters at this phase. He was even kill-stealing from the other weaker demons and monsters. How could they possibly do anything about it?

It took Roy about four days to collect 120 low-quality souls. Their sizes were different since they came from demons and monsters. After gauging that he had enough souls, Roy found a safe place and eagerly started on his T-Virus modification plan.

He opened his system interface and watched as the accumulated souls continued to disappear. In the end, Roy finally had the syringe gun in his hand!

It took him 114 souls to exchange for the T-Virus, by far the most souls he had used thus far. However, he hesitated now that he finally had the syringe gun.

He could not help it. It was a virus! It took courage to inject yourself with a virus. What if the system had problems?

Nonetheless, after pondering over it for a while, Roy decided to believe in the system. He pressed the syringe gun on his arm and pushed the pump, injecting himself with the potion.

After injecting himself, Roy threw the syringe gun carelessly. He sat cross-legged on the ground and started waiting quietly.

Not too long after, a strong burning sensation appeared from within his body and quickly spread throughout his torso, limbs, tail, and even his brain. All of them felt as though they were on fire.

This burning sensation quickly turned into unbearable pain!

Roy roared with pain. All the cells in his entire body were frantically proliferating at the moment. His muscles, internal organs, and bones were expanding at a crazy speed, and his blood flowed around his body at a crazy speed. The pain caused by his rapidly growing body made him crazy, and his hands could not help scratching all over his body, causing his skin to bleed out...

After what seemed like an eternity, the pain gradually began to alleviate. Roy slowly recovered and checked his physical condition.

It was not until this time that Roy realized he seemed to have grown out of the little demon category!

The rapid expansion of his body caused him to grow to about two meters tall, almost double his previous height. His arms, legs, tail, and the muscles all over his body bulged. His demon wings also benefited once again. It became wider and stronger, and its wingspan increased to more than three meters.

Stretching his hand to touch his head, Roy found his demon horns grew as well. They were directly protruding out from his skull and had a curve to them.

His palms grew larger, and the nails on them became longer, sharper, and began to flash a cold light. A gentle stroke on a rock caused a scratch on it.

Even without the modification by the system, these claws seem to be as hard as steel? Does that mean that I can obtain the adamantium attribute next time?

His tail became thicker and longer as well. Roy could feel his strength just by standing there now!

Even Roy did not expect such a huge change could happen with a tube of the T-Virus. It felt as though he directly matured into an adult. The hundred-odd souls were truly worth it!

As he looked at the system interface, Roy found his attributes had increased dramatically.

Roy was amazed at the changes in his attributes. The T-Virus brought him a fifty-point increase in strength! The increase in his speed was about twenty points, and activity had increased the most with at least sixty points!

No wonder no traces could be seen from the skin he had scratched. It had healed itself with his strong vitality!

Moreover, his evaluation seemed to have skipped the middle-low rank entirely. His premature state was gone as well. He managed to patch it up.

However, what delighted Roy the most was the appearance of Psychokinesis in his Skills section!

Although he might have thought that it was possible to obtain superpowers before, it still made Roy feel incredible when it really appeared. He could not wait to try it out.

He stretched his hand out and curled his finger, visible through the sharp nail. A fist-sized rock floated up under his command and flew to where Roy’s fingers pointed. This wonderful remote control technique was quite fun for Roy.

However, Roy felt pain grapple his brain after a while. The stone dropped onto the ground with the loss of his concentration.

Shit! Roy just noticed that his magic energy was now empty!

Does magic energy have to be consumed to activate Psychokinesis?! Moreover, it seems like my magic energy attribute didn’t increase through the T-Virus?! Roy was shocked. How on earth am I supposed to increase my magic energy?!
