Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 28: The Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A long while after Roy left, those vampires hiding in the corner got out timidly.

Dracula’s three brides crowded around Dracula and asked anxiously, “Master, are you really going to seek help from a demon again?”

Dracula put his arm around them. “This is just a backup plan. Igor is now trying to restore Frankenstein’s instruments, and if those scientific equipment can bring our children to life, then we won’t need to seek help from the demon. But if those machines don’t work, then this demon is our last hope!”

Dracula was referring to the instruments that scientist Frankenstein had used to resurrect his scientific monster. Since these instruments could resurrect a monster pieced together from corpses, then maybe live baby vampires could be born smoothly. Unfortunately, the resurrected monster was lost in a large fire, and Dracula was still unable to find it. Dracula would have had more confidence with this specimen.

The three brides naturally accepted Dracula’s plans. One of the brides said, “Master, it will be a full moon night in a couple of days. Let’s catch Anna and let her see her brother Viken’s first werewolf transformation! Let her see with her own eyes her brother turn into a monster, and we won’t have to worry about her giving in!”

“There is another person apart from Anna!” Dracula’s face darkened. “The mayor of Transylvania, Baron Lucius! Damn it. I didn’t expect that he would dare summon a demon. Although I don’t know what the details of the contract between him and the demon are, we must remain alert. What if he asked the demon to bestow him power or turn him into another werewolf-like monster? There can only be one ruler in this town, and that is me!”

“Find him, bring him back, and kill him when the time is right!” Dracula commanded the three brides. “Let him fail to complete the demon contract!”

“Yes, Master!” The three vampire brides bowed in acknowledgment.

Dracula did not know that Lucius’s name was intentionally revealed to him by Roy before he left! And Dracula’s reaction was exactly what Roy wanted.

A greedy person like Lucius was detested by even demons, so from the beginning, Roy had only signed the contract with him to stay in this world. He had never thought of letting Lucius complete the contract.

There was a clause in demon contracts that stated: Should the party entering into the contract with the demon be unable to fulfill the contract, the demon has the right to take away the soul of that party!

Lucius’s soul had fallen. Compared to low-quality souls, Roy certainly wanted to obtain his soul, so he might as well reveal Lucius, the summoner, to Dracula. And because Dracula had suffered from a previous similar experience, there was a high chance that he would dispose of Lucius.

If he killed Lucius, it was akin to Roy’s contract with Lucius ending, and then Roy could smoothly obtain Lucius’s fallen soul.

After signing the contract, the demon could not do the other party in, but it did not mean that he could not kill with a borrowed knife...

Flying in the night sky, Roy was pondering about his plan. If Dracula was not stupid, he would first seize Lucius, imprison him, and prevent him from having the opportunity to execute the demon contract. Lucius would not die for a while, and Roy would not be expelled back to the Abyss of the Demon World temporarily. Dracula could then take advantage of this time to think of a way to transact with Roy.

However, Roy was skeptical about Anna’s noble soul that Dracula mentioned, feeling that it was a bit unrealistic. Dracula might have spoken full of confidence, but what he did not know was that the church had already sent Van Helsing here.

If by chance Van Helsing killed Dracula, as he had done in the movie, then all his ideas would come to naught.

This was why Roy had not promised Dracula anything but told him to get Anna’s soul first.

But there was another piece of news that Roy cared a lot about. It seemed like apart from demons harvesting souls, heaven was also collecting them!

Dracula said that noble souls would actively be collected by Heaven after the deaths of the owners of the souls, instead of wandering in the mortal world like low-quality souls.

What did this mean? It meant that noble souls were souls that Heaven needed!

Roy has never seen an angel before, but since demons existed, then angels naturally existed. Since there was the Abyss of the Demon World, there would similarly be the high-order Heaven, and both thirsted for souls.

Combined with his personal customization system, and through the consumption of souls for the mechanism, Roy thought that souls might be a kind of very special energy source. Demons gained magic power through devouring souls, while angels gained holy power through souls!

The arguments of people ascending to Heaven and falling down to Hell after their deaths were all false. It was just that fallen souls were more favored by demons, while noble souls were more demanded by Heaven. That was all...

Wait, hang on, hang on! I seem to know too much! Roy thought before quickly stopping his ‘knowing too much about such a huge scam’ imagination from running wild.

Then, if Dracula manages to get a true noble soul from Anna, can a demon like me use this noble soul?

If demons favor the negative energy in fallen souls, then what resides in noble souls should be positive energy. In that case, can demons still devour noble souls?

Dracula was not a demon, and he did not know why demons wanted souls. He simply thought that a noble soul should be something good. But as a demon, Roy had to consider the possibility of food poisoning...

Not long later, Roy arrived back at Lucius’s estate, and when he landed, Roy had already reached a conclusion.

Demons might really be unable to devour noble souls, but he could use his system to recycle them and similarly strengthen himself.

Therefore, Roy made a decision. If possible, he would still nudge Dracula. If he could really obtain that noble soul, it would mean that he would obtain two high-quality souls in this world all in one go, and it would not have been a wasted trip.

So, upon seeing Lucius welcoming him back, Roy called him over and whispered in his ear.

Lucius nodded frequently while listening.

Afterward, Roy settled down in the basement of the estate while Lucius went about to complete what Roy instructed him to do.

Roy stayed in. He was generally only able to move around at night. During the day, anyone who saw him would know that a demon appeared, and he had no intention of exposing himself. Thus, he remained in the basement and studied the functions of the system...
