Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 11: Snake Demon


This time, Su Ziyu carefully tested his abilities.

He determined that most of his abilities were useless; currently, the only abilities he could utilize were Time Acceleration and Dimensional Space.

Of course, the White Crow Swordsmanship he originally mastered was still there.

However, the form of the Fire Burning Demon wasn't suitable for sword fighting; in daily battles, the Flame Ability was more reliable. The abilities of Master of Language and Master of Language were still there, and he could still access his Space-Time Monitor System, but the enhancements linked to the original body were useless. His strength was mainly based on his current Demon Form.

He experimentally put some scales from the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard into the Dimensional Space.

It felt very strenuous.

But it could be opened, seemingly only allowing relatively small items inside, and it felt much more difficult to put in and take out, the reason for which was temporarily unclear.

Inside the Abyssal Blood Pool.

Su Ziyu had just returned and immediately had the Enchanting Demon subordinate command the Ant Race to make some simple armor. The snakeskin of a Legendary Level creature should make quite excellent equipment. The meat of the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard was distributed to his vassals; its meat seemed toxic, harmless to demons, but immediately killed several Holy Beetles.

——"The soul of the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard (Legendary Quality): The soul of a Legendary Level Nine-headed Serpent Lizard, after converting to a demon, may awaken certain special talents, reducing the Power of Slaughter consumption for demon advancement mutation by 35%."

There's nothing else to say.

Su Ziyu directly advanced this Legendary Level soul into the form of a Snake Demon.

Because the Power of Slaughter gained this time was substantial, Su Ziyu hatched three new Frenzy Demons and another Snake Demon, with one Sharp Claw Demon transforming into an elite form in the recent battle.

Very soon.

In the tearing tumor, new demons were born.

"Huh?"

"Why does it feel a bit different?" Su Ziyu looked over in surprise.

The Frenzy Demons were the same as before.

They moved somewhat like lickers, but stood upright when attacking, emitting an unrelenting stench that remained offensive.

These two hatched Snake Demons were unexpectedly different.

The first Snake Demon matched the illustration data shown in the system's guide; it was a female Snake Demon, with two strong arms, humanoid upper body, not unattractive, a bit like a Naga, her naked body covered with some scales that obscured vital parts, with a long snake tail below.

Like Enchanting Demons, Snake Demons are predominantly female demons, with males being at a ratio of about ten to one, even lower for Enchanting Demons, with male occurrences at a ratio of approximately one thousand to one.

Low Tier demons are essentially genderless, whereas gender differentiation exists among Middle Tier and High Tier demons, with some High Tier demons only having males.

If Enchanting Demons advance to Flame Demons, females will become males.

Therefore, some demons, after developing sufficient self-awareness, refuse to continue advancing demon forms and instead master some skills to advance in special professions.

Demons dissatisfied with their gender can easily change genders.

However, demon gender inclinations are somewhat related to memories of past lives; souls of women have a high probability of advancing as Enchanting Demons, and effeminate souls may also choose this demon form.

The second Snake Demon that emerged was particularly special; she naturally possessed four limbs.

——"Four-armed Snake Demon (Middle Tier Demon) [Elite Unit]: This is a demon with exceptional talent, born with additional arms compared to other Snake Demons, suggesting potential advancement to an Eight-armed Snake Demon. Demon Skin, Demon Power, High-level Multi-Attack, Multi-Weapon Combat, Defense in Attack, Reflex Evasion, Fierce Attack, Magic Weapon, Teleportation, High Morale."

So strong!

The Snake Demon before him was naturally gifted with the abilities of Demon Skin and Demon Power, and also possessed High-level Multi-Attack, seemingly connected to the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard that inherently had multi-attack capabilities.

Are demons created by Legendary Level souls really this powerful?

"Master." The four-armed Snake Demon before him glided up to Su Ziyu, bowed her head and said, "I need some weapons."

She seemed very intelligent.

Appearing smarter than other demons, Su Ziyu immediately said, "I will have the Kobolds craft them for you now."

He gave the four-armed Snake Demon a codename — Snake Maiden.

So many small demons died all at once, now the population was slightly insufficient, but there was still plenty of Power of Slaughter.

Su Ziyu didn't rush to hatch more demons.

Instead, he chose to strengthen his own abilities.

——"Leader Template: Consume 20,000 Power of Slaughter, 20 Demon Genes, advance to Demon Leader, awakening Chaos Domain and Flame Domain after advancement."

An evil and powerful force surged into Su Ziyu's body from the Abyssal Blood Pool.

He felt his body transforming, accompanied by the crackling sound, his height unexpectedly rose to nearly four meters. The Enchanting Demon beside him suddenly appeared very petite and delicate, other demons appeared to be a circle smaller, and an even more powerful flame power began to gather, with searing flames appearing on Su Ziyu's body surface, causing ambient temperature to rise steeply.

——"Chaos Domain: Unleash a domain of chaotic power around, strengthening the will, morale, and immunity of all demons in the area, increasing the demon mutation probability by 1%."

——"Flame Domain: Unleash a domain of flame power around, causing certain burning damage to all nearby beings, enhancing the ability to manipulate flames."

A multitude of demons began to retreat.

Su Ziyu was entirely enveloped by flames, ignoring the enemy within the range, and they couldn't fully resist the power of this domain.

——"Demon Lord (Not Activated)!"

Under the Leader Template, the other demons became very excited, the Enchanting Demon even appeared flushed, and after Su Ziyu withdrew the Flame Domain, she directly clung to his thigh. Somehow, the morale bonus on Enchanting Demons always felt a bit odd; they are indeed a peculiar variety among demons.

A day passed quickly.

After a brief rest, Su Ziyu again led his demon army southward.

This time, the number of demons decreased.

But the number of Middle Tier demons increased, and he advanced about ten Frenzy Demons, almost depleting his Power of Slaughter.

Passing by the volcanic lake again was quite peaceful.

However, Su Ziyu spotted some enormous footprints, and then, after they traveled several dozen kilometers, suddenly a massive boulder fell from the sky, landing in front of the demon army.

"Demons! Go back!"

"This is our territory!" A booming roar was heard.

Some exceptionally towering figures appeared in sight, with fiery red hair, roughly five meters tall, extremely large and robust, exuding a fearful aura.

——Fire Giants!
