They continued their long journey on the vast land. The route they took was not static. In order to avoid the pursuers behind them, Roland and Bast sometimes took detours and sometimes turned. In the span of more than ten months, between the rising and setting of the moon, They have come a long way.
During this period of time, Roland obviously felt heavier and heavier pressure. The fluctuations of the magic emblem in his body are getting stronger and stronger, even to the point where even his huge mental power requires more than half of his energy to suppress it. And it is foreseeable that this situation will continue to worsen. Fortunately, Roland has not had it from the beginning. He despises the terrifying enemy who can cast ninth-level spells. Although he cannot solve the problem once and for all with his own strength, there is still a way to do it with the help of external forces. In fact, their route is not aimless.
The destination in Roland's heart is the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm, known as the Thorn Flower Dynasty, was founded 13,000 years ago by the king-level demon lord, the Great Demon Lord Sauron. The vast territory and countless resources on the material plane are beyond the reach of the human empire. Since the creation of this ancient country, after countless years of conquest and expansion, its tentacles have even reached many other dimensions.
"Compared with other kingdoms of demon lords, this relatively ancient kingdom has a characteristic that is extremely rare in the endless abyss - order.
In the endless years, countless creatures have been born in the endless abyss. Among the huge demon race that no one can explain clearly, the demon race may be far from being the most powerful race. Apart from its barely commendable reproductive ability, all other aspects of this race can only be considered mediocre. , however, in more than 10,000 years, countless demon races that were once prosperous have been destroyed one after another, but the rise of the demon world leader has been unstoppable. This is precisely due to the rare order characteristics of the demon race.
In the endless abyss, the vast majority of demons are synonymous with chaos, warlikeness and undiscipline. They surrender to powerful forces, but are always hot-headed. When they actually go to the battlefield, they are the perfect adjectives such as a ragtag crowd. However, the demons are different. They are calm, loyal to order, hierarchical, good at coordinated combat, and obey orders efficiently. It is precisely because of this that during the long years of the rise of the Demon Realm, the once powerful enemies fell in front of them one by one, while the power of the Demon Clan was rising day by day.
Today, the demon world is synonymous with prosperity and power. The essence of the planes gathers here. The products of various regions and planes are in the hands of shrewd demon merchants. As long as you pay a sufficient price, you can buy them. Roland's The plan is here. With their situation, there is no place more suitable than the Demon World to collect the casting materials he needs.
Another reason is that, relying on some special reverse tracing methods, Roland came to the conclusion that his unknown enemy was most likely a powerful undead. From Bast's memory, we can know that the Demon Realm is a place that never welcomes any powerful undead.
This is another night when the cold demon moon rises.
The area that Roland and Bast set foot in at this time has a very appropriate name in Bast's memory - the Land of Rocks.
As far as the eye can see, the empty land is undulating, with huge rock cones standing everywhere, as if extending to the end of the world.
It is desolate, silent, and does not seem to have any characteristics that life needs to exist. However, both Roland and Bast know that the calm appearance often means greater danger.
Under the cold moonlight, two black shadows were walking between the undulating rocks.
They carefully concealed their presence and restrained their presence. At a short time, Roland would jump down from a higher rock, then open his hands and swoop down like a big bird in the low air until he could glide a long distance. Of course, this did not depend on As with any magic, in this dangerous area in Bast's memory, any careless use of magic will definitely attract the attention of some ferocious creatures.
Sometimes a cold, wet wind blows through the dark night sky, causing the rocky and gravelly ground to squeak. The source of power for gliding comes from this, which requires very high skills. Roland also kept on doing it along the way. He gradually mastered it through trial and error. Behind him, the evil flame demon Baster glided in the air in a somewhat clumsy manner. The contract rooted in his soul allowed him to master this skill awkwardly from his master.
The advantage of doing this is that it is enough to give the pursuer behind you a headache.
It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t glide higher in the sky more openly, it¡¯s less strenuous, and they can span far enough distances, but in that case, they will undoubtedly be conspicuous enough in the eyes of many powerful creatures.?Target.
This is a dangerous world, where the weak and the strong prey on each other. This has been the case since ancient times. It gave birth to countless abyssal creatures, many of which are famous in the endless plane for their ferocity, cunning and power, and many of which are unheard of for most creatures. Living in such a world requires a certain amount of luck, and even more Just be careful enough. Roland and his contracted servants are far from powerful, so their travel schedule must be as fast as possible, but they must also ensure sufficient safety.
The memories from Bast¡¯s mind let Roland know that this long journey was coming to an end, and not long after, they would approach the edge of the Demon Realm.
They passed through a particularly tall rock cluster. Judging from the wind force, Roland could still glide for tens of meters, but his body was stagnant in the air, and then landed gently on the ground without picking up much dust.
Because he saw the fire.
Right in front, through the gap between two tall rocks, a clearly visible bright fire came out, and the crackling sound seemed to make people imagine that it was a fiercely burning bonfire.
Bast fell behind Roland. The devil's face was very ugly, and more of a panic, because he knew very well what this bright fire meant.
Everything was quiet, even the sound of the wind blowing across the gravel ground strangely disappeared, and Roland's heart continued to sink.
This fire came so suddenly. According to common sense, the bright light should have aroused Roland's awareness from thousands of meters away, and the sound of violent burning should have been noticed by his perception from a few hundred meters away. Along the way, Roland had been carefully detecting all the movements in the surrounding environment with his powerful perception. However, this time, his perception failed. It was not until such a close distance that he noticed the abnormality. Moreover, it was difficult to tell whether his perception was abnormal or not. The other party did it intentionally.
It¡¯s like a thick black curtain has been lifted. Inside and outside the curtain, there are two completely different worlds.
He knew what this meant. Where the fire came from ahead, there must be powerful creatures that he could not resist.
For a moment, the thought of quietly retreating and escaping in the darkness flashed through Roland's mind, even though he knew this was impossible.
In the silence, there was a faint fragrance of flowers, and then there was a low mental fluctuation.
¡°You two, why don¡¯t you come over and sit down and warm yourself by the fire?¡±
