Chapter 379 Julia’s Obsession

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The cold wind howled, and a violent blizzard raged on the white icy plain.

It was a frozen land that was even crueler than the north and south poles, and the environment was so harsh that even monsters could not survive in it. Apart from the howling winds, there were no other sounds here, just like a deathly silent world. It was unknown when this world had formed, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. It had maintained this deathly silence for a long, long time.

But this deathly silence seemed to have been broken…

In the southwest of the frozen icy plains, a black city stood quietly.

It was Frostfire City.

If you looked down from high above, you would find that this black city was two circles, one large and one small. The large circle was a tall black ice wall that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and the small circle was a volcano that was still emitting black smoke. The large circle enveloped the small circle, making it seem so out of place on the vast expanse of whiteness of the frozen icy plain.

A gap had been dug out of the volcano, and high-temperature magma streamed out through it to form a river slowly flowing into the city. The heat emanating from the magma neutralized the cold of the frozen icy plain, producing a unique area with a warm climate.

The ones living in this warm area were the low-level demons that Roy had summoned from the upper levels of the Abyss. These demons were now the residents of Frostfire City, and their object of loyalty was Roy, a demon lord. As demons, there were very few existences that were obedient, but under the whips of the demon overseers, they still did their work well.

From the flowing magma river, the demons fished out the magma with sulfur and toxic smoke that was about to cool and solidify. They loaded it onto carts pulled by enormous demon worms and transported it out. They used this lava to build houses and buildings, and the black lava that looked like asphalt rapidly took shape under the cold wind.

These demon worms were the same race as the massive worm that Roy had first discovered. There were indeed many demon worms living underground of this icy plain, but the one that Roy had first found was the largest. In order to distinguish between them, Roy even named the demon worm Big Black. Big Black had already become Fat Tiger’s playmate, mainly because Fat Tiger kept dragging it out to play. It seemed like Fat Tiger was walking Big Black, but every time he ran on the icy plain, Big Black seemed to be Fat Tiger’s leash, so it was hard to say who was walking whom…

As for the other demon worms, they did not have as high intelligence as Big Black. The demons had enslaved them and used them as transportation tools. The demons placed crucibles on the backs of these worms, and one worm could hold more than ten of them on its back. Just like the carriages of a train, they pulled the crucibles full of hot lava, shuttled through Frostfire City, and sent them to every construction site.

In the center of the city was a gigantic demon palace that had long been completed. This demon palace occupied nearly ten thousand square meters and was more than thirty meters tall. It was the largest building in the entire city. The palace had inherited the dark and savage style of demons. The main hall did not have a roof, and it was vertical and hollow. The walls on both sides had an engraving of a pair of enormous demon wings enveloping the hall, seemingly closing but not fully closing. The gap left was the front entrance of the main hall.

Inside the hall, four huge demon statues stood facing each other against the walls, occupying the four directions of north, south, east, and west. The four statues were all kneeling in the same posture, and the direction they were kneeling in was naturally in the center of the hall. There was an even taller statue standing there.

It was none other than Roy’s statue…

It stood upright in the middle of the hall, with three pairs of demon wings slightly spread out and two hands holding a Frostmourne that pierced straight into the ground. This statue was beautifully engraved and remarkably lifelike, just like a replica of Roy. Even the face of the statue was covered like Roy was wearing the Cold Winter Armor, leaving only a pair of pentagram pupils shining with red light as he looked down.

This statue of Roy was Benia’s masterpiece. In her words, as a demon lord, Roy had to have his own symbol in his territory. So even though he always felt very shameful about this statue, he could only helplessly adapt to it…

Beneath the stone statue’s Frostmourne was Roy’s throne. It was still the Frozen Throne formed from black ice, and within a hundred meters of the throne, it was deliberately modeled into a frost environment to represent Roy’s identity as a frost demon.

After the completion of this demon palace, it basically meant that the main body of the city was mostly finished. Now, the demons were still building functional buildings such as smelting factories and foundries in the city. At that time, the weapons forged from these factories would be used to arm Roy’s troops.

At this moment, Roy was sitting on the Frozen Throne. And on the ice in front of the throne, a one-year-old baby was moving unsteadily on it.

This baby was not afraid of the cold on the ice, and he had no other clothes on except a diaper. He was crawling forward on his hands and feet, but before he could get too far, a demon claw would reach over, use a sharp nail like a hook to hook his diaper gently, and bring him back to his original spot. After returning to the original spot, the baby giggled happily and continued to crawl forward. Just like that, he crawled forward again, was hooked back, and then continued crawling, repeating this cycle several times. This was a game between Roy and Sareth. Lich Cassandra was right behind Roy’s throne, watching helplessly as her adopted son interacted with her master.

“You’re really bored…” Julia walked into the hall and could not help but complain when she saw this scene. “You can play so happily with a baby…”

“Hmm?” Roy did not refute and raised his eyebrows at Julia. “I have to find something to do, right? Oh, right, I’ll show you something fun!”

With that, Roy hooked Sareth back with his finger, placed him in his palm, and pointed to the side. “Come, Sareth, show her!”

Although Sareth was only a one-year-old baby, he seemed to have understood Roy’s words. Under Julia’s surprised gaze, Sareth opened his mouth with a ‘gah’, and a black shadow arrow flew out of his mouth and shot toward the side wall.

Although the shadow arrow was not powerful enough and dissipated after just flying to the wall, it was enough to shock Julia.

“He can already release magic!” Julia was surprised, “When did this happen?” “I just found out too!” Roy turned Sareth around on his palm to face him. “This little guy’s first shadow arrow shot me!”

“Amazing magic talent!” Julia walked over, put her hands under Sareth’s ribs, and raised him to observe repeatedly. “Is this the power of a Child of Taboo?”

Roy stood up from his throne. “I’ve checked. There’s no magic circuit in his body. The magic he releases is purely based on his affinity with dark power!”

“Besides dark power, can he use other magic?”. Julia asked.

“Flames as well!” Roy nodded. “Perhaps it’s because his father, Kha-Beleth, was a flame demon. However, I’ve found that he seems to have affinity with all elemental powers…”

“So, you’re training his affinity with frost now?” Julia glared at Roy angrily.

Roy gently raised his hand, causing Sareth in his palm to roll up and down, making him giggle. He seemed to like this game very much. Roy replied to Julia while teasing him, “Of course. As you can see, his physical fitness is super strong. The frost near the throne is less than -70°C, but he doesn’t feel the cold at all. This shows that he’s adapted very well to this environment. Other than his affinity with frost, I can’t think of any other explanation.”

Hearing this, Julia suddenly fell silent. Then she whispered, “Darling, if we have children in the future, do you think they’ll have talent like Sareth?”

Roy was stunned for a moment before he grabbed her waist. “Of course. Don’t forget that you’re a true fallen angel, and I’m stronger than Kha-Beleth. Our descendants will have unparalleled talent!”

After hearing Roy’s words, Julia nodded in relief and looked at Sareth with anticipation.

Ever since becoming Roy’s partner, Julia had been longing to give birth to a descendant for him. But from the beginning until now, and in the one year in Frostfire City, even though the two of them were working hard every day, Julia still had no signs, making her almost go crazy.

If not for Benia not giving birth to Roy’s child yet, Julia would not know what to do.

Yes, Benia had now become one of the mistresses. She had finally seized the opportunity to climb onto Roy’s bed. Julia had long realized that there might be such a day. In Ashan, Benia had also proved her loyalty to Roy, so Julia accepted Benia’s change in status without any surprise.

But for some reason, Benia also failed to conceive Roy’s descendant. It seemed that the more powerful a demon was, the more difficult it was to reproduce.

The existence of Sareth stimulated Julia’s thoughts. She was now thinking about whether she should imitate the actions of other demons and sleep with Roy during solar eclipses or lunar eclipses and use the mystical power to create a nephalem child…

Shaking her head, Julia threw out the complicated thoughts in her mind and said to Roy, “Since you have nothing to do now, go underground with Benia. She asked me to inform you that she seems to have found something…”
