Custom Made Demon King Chapter 128 – Memory Reading

Chapter 128 Memory Reading

There was a short pause at this point, and the scene fell silent.

Araniya sized Roy up quietly while feeling uneasy. In fact, when she mentioned Lolth, the Queen of Spiders of the spider demons, besides explaining the matter about her inheritance, she had the intention of deterring him.

The rules of the Abyss were like this. When a demon was defeated and fell into the hands of another demon, the outcome was often predictable. In ninety percent of cases, there was only death. Araniya certainly knew this, but she did not want to die and wanted to struggle. Although the frost demon in front of her seemed to know her, Araniya did not feel relieved because of this ‘acquaintance relationship’. On the contrary, she was even more terrified.

Because… demons did not have friends! The so-called familiarity only had one possibility -enemies!

Either he had hunted her, or she had hunted him before. Araniya thought for a while and found that she had no memory of being hunted by a frost demon. In that case, there was only one possibility-she had hunted him before!

Araniya began to tremble slightly at the thought of this. When promoting to middle-rank demon, many demons would change their forms because of the bloodline awakening. And what she feared the most was this situation: a prey that escaped from her hunt, after changing appearance, not only came to seek revenge but also was stronger than her, the original hunter! Araniya had no other choice but to bring up the name of the Queen of Spiders Lolth. In fact, she had nothing to do with the Queen of Spiders at all. She had not even become a subordinate of the Spider Queen. Even though the spider demon bloodline in her body came from Lolth, who knew how many generations of descendants it had been, and she fundamentally had no relationship with her at all… She only hoped that she could use Lolth’s existence as a demon king to awe this frost demon in front of her so that he would not dare to kill her.

This was just like how some demons claimed to be the subordinates of certain demon kings.

If she wanted to stay alive, she would definitely have to pay a price. As long as she was not killed, she would accept it even if she had to sign a master-servant contract… However, what Araniva did not expect was that an invisible force suddenly strangled her in the next moment!

Her huge spider body, which weighed more than a ton, was lifted up by this invisible force. Suspended in the air, Araniya was unable to use her strength. Her eight legs kicked desperately as she was being strangled, leaving her unable to breathe and her mind spinning.

Needless to say, it was Roy who held her in the air!

“No… Don’t!” Araniya screamed. “Don’t kill

me!”

Roy sneered as he looked at her. “Do you want to say that if I kill you, you’ll leave behind a spider demon curse or something on me? And if the Spider Queen Lolth meets me in the future, she’ll kill me?”

Araniya was shocked when she heard this. She knew Roy had seen through.

As expected. Roy snorted. “Sorry, I’ve killed several spider demons in the middle Abyss, but I’ve never felt any curse on me…”

“Please, I can sign a contract with you and submit to you!” Araniya did not give up and continued to beg for mercy with difficulty. “Keeping me might be useful to you…”

However, Roy was unmoved and continued tightening the Psychokinesis little by little.

In the Abyss, Roy had long discovered one thing-don’t easily believe what a demon said, especially the smart and cunning ones! There had been an example before, the illusion demon César. He dared to betray a demon lord and even had the courage to steal something from the demon lord and escape to another world.

Even a powerful demon lord had still been betrayed by a demon, let alone Roy, a middle-rank demon. The rank gap between Araniya and him was not much, so Roy could not believe her at all and would not use her.

Even though she was willing to sign a contract, Roy would not do so. Demons were experts at playing with contracts, and he knew that contracts had exploitable loopholes. Roy had too many secrets, so keeping Araniya was tantamount to keeping a timebomb. It would be bad if he were to be bitten one day.

Moreover, it would be useless for Roy to keep her as his subordinate. Someone who could not even win against Fat Tiger could only be used as cannon fodder. Why should he do that? She even said that it was quite difficult for the spider demons to promote. If Roy took her as his subordinate, would he need to support her in turn?

The only thing Araniya had that was worthy of Roy’s attention was the inherited memories of the spider demons!

Because of the strong bloodline of the spider demons, the continuation of the bloodline was quite stable. This might be why the inherited memories were relatively complete. These inherited memories, which contained the experiences of their ancestors and their understanding of the Abyss, was the most useful thing for Roy.

Roy’s short consideration just now was about this.

During his conversation with Araniya, when Roy was asking about the Demon Bible, he was actually thinking about whether to ask about the ‘Chosen One of the Abyss’. But he gave up after giving it some thought. He felt that his talent was truly strange and probably not suitable for other demons to know.

But not being able to ask did not mean that he could not learn it from the inherited memories of other demons…

The inherited memories were engraved in the depths of a demon’s soul. Since Roy wanted Araniya’s complete inherited memories, he first had to obtain Araniya’s soul!

Back when Roy was a little demon, he was hunted down by Araniya and almost died. Roy had vowed to go back and take revenge. Now that he had met her here, he would take revenge on her as well…

Araniya stopped pleading. She could see strong murderous intentions in Roy’s eyes and immediately knew that Roy had made up his mind. No amount of begging would work, so she simply gritted her teeth and fought back.

The end of her abdomen suddenly curved and launched spiderwebs at Roy one after another.

However, this struggle was destined to be futile. When the spiderwebs were about to wrap around Roy, Roy suddenly disappeared from where he was.

He activated Flash and easily appeared beside Araniya. But his Psychokinesis on Araniya did not stop.

When she realized that the spiderwebs did not work, Araniya used all her strength to chant a short curse hoarsely and cast a Blindness curse on Roy.

The curse actually worked, causing darkness to appear in front of Roy’s eyes and making him unable to see anything. However, demons were all of the dark attribute and were naturally resistant to curses. If Araniya were stronger than Roy, then the curse might last for a while, just like the Weakness curse Xeron cast on Roy in the past… But unfortunately, Araniya was weaker than Roy, so the Blindness curse failed in less than three seconds.

The blindness was very short, but it still stunned Roy for a moment. This gave Araniya the opportunity to break free from the control of Roy’s Psychokinesis. She was also clever. After breaking free, she immediately shot a spiderweb at Fat Tiger beside her and then quickly started running away. She had stopped Fat Tiger and delayed Roy with the Blindness curse. When he regained his senses, Araniya had run tens of meters away.

If Araniya had some more time, she might have really been able to escape. But a distance of tens of meters was clearly not enough. An Icebound Strike flew from behind and hit her feet, and the powerful frost power from the explosion instantly froze all eight of her legs!

Araniya could not move at all. Roy slowly flew over and cut her head with Frostmourne.

Araniya’s head was flying in the air, but she still had some consciousness. When her eyes caught sight of Roy’s demon wings, Araniya suddenly remembered who Roy was!

“It’s… it’s you!” Araniya’s head fell on the ground, her eyes full of disbelief as she said the last words in her life.

“Seems like you remember now!” Roy replied with a sneer, but Araniya could no longer hear him. Her huge body, which was as large as a tank, crashed to the ground and trembled as a ball of light slowly floated out of her body.

Roy reached out and grabbed Araniya’s soul.

“Looks like it’s time to design a memory reading skill!” Roy looked at the soul and then at the Araniya’s corpse and turned to Fat Tiger. “Do you want to eat it?”.

Fat Tiger’s three heads all shook at the same time and barked at Roy in unison.

“Her body is poisonous and disgusting? No wonder there’s a rotten smell…” After hearing this, Roy did not force the picky eater Fat Tiger and ordered him to throw Araniya’s corpse farther away while he returned to the lair.

Araniya’s soul was only an ordinary soul, nothing special.

The souls of low and middle-rank demons seemed to be ordinary ones. Only at high-rank demon would there be some changes. When Xeron was killed and expelled by the dragons, Roy had seen his soul being exposed. It was very different, and Roy did not know what the system would define it as.

Holding Araniya’s soul, Roy spent three high-quality fallen souls (from the slave traders) to create a ‘Soul Memory Reading’ skill.

[Soul Memory Reading]: Use magic power to read all the memories contained in the soul.

This skill was very simple and did not require any special effects. It was just a simple definition. But maybe because it had to do with souls, it had required more fallen souls to make, and it also consumed a lot of Roy’s magic power when reading memories. Holding Araniya’s soul, Roy used his skill and began searching the soul’s inherited memories for memories of the ‘Chosen One of the Abyss’…
