"Master!"

A deep voice sounded.

A humanoid demon appeared before Su Ziyu. Unlike other demons, only a blurred outline of the Assassin Demon could be seen, and this was only because it deliberately exposed itself to Su Ziyu. If Su Ziyu were not a Demon Lord, he might have only vaguely sensed the existence of the Assassin Demon through perception ability.

The appearance of the Assassin Demon was not very clear. It looked somewhat like a humanoid demon in outline, the entire body hidden in shadows, exuding an aura of evil and danger.

—— "Assassin Demon (High Tier Demon): A unique advanced form among demons, wielding certain shadow powers. Stealth Master, Permanent Invisibility, Demon Power, Demon Skin, Shadow Mastery, High-level Teleportation, Summon Shadow, Master of Assassination, Sneak Attack, Poison Quenching. High Morale."

The Assassin Demon was relatively smaller compared to other demons, perhaps even shorter than the average person, yet its power was truly terrifying.

This is a demon born at a Legendary Level.

According to the system data provided by the Death God, the Assassin Demon is a high-tier demon with a challenge level of 18, while the challenge level of the Six-armed Snake Demon is only 17.

What Su Ziyu valued most was its [Permanent Invisibility] ability.

The Assassin Demon was a demon with relatively high intelligence.

After creating it, Su Ziyu immediately ordered, "Head west to explore and gather intelligence on the Devils."

The Abyss Lurkers were eliminated.

All the Abyss Lurkers near that area were being hunted down by some cat-like creature.

That area was a blind spot in Su Ziyu's vision.

Yet, it was very close to Su Ziyu's second Abyssal Blood Pool, and he needed to understand the situation in that region, preferably assessing the Devils' strength.

The Assassin Demon quickly disappeared from sight.

After dispatching the Assassin Demon, Su Ziyu continued to lead his forces to sweep the eastern region. Currently, he was not lacking in the Power of Slaughter, but was somewhat short on Demon Gene. An interesting point was that he could obtain Demon Gene by killing Devils, though he did not know what blood relation existed between Devils and Demons because he saw quite a few Soul Worms in the Devil-occupied area.

Meanwhile.

In a grand Skeleton Fortress, the long-sealed laboratory door finally opened.

"Damn it!"

"Why did it fail again?" said Rog, the Witch Demon, frustratedly as he walked out.

Behind him lay shards of broken keel bones, and the laboratory showed signs of an explosion.

"Master." A ghost swiftly flew over.

The Witch Demon named Rog glanced at it, seemingly recalling something, and asked, "What's the situation? Did those demons come here again?"

"No." The ghost hesitantly answered in a low voice, "They attacked the Land of Burial for a few days and then gave up."

"However..."

Today, the Witch Demon's mood seemed somewhat irritable, and he asked in a deep voice, "However, what?..."

"Master, they killed that Red Dragon," the ghost's voice trembled slightly.

It couldn't understand.

If the demons could kill that Red Dragon, then they could definitely break into the Skeleton Fortress. Although they might not be able to defeat a Witch Demon, the Land of Burial surely couldn't stop the demon army.

Why did that demon suddenly retreat then?

"What?!" The Witch Demon looked shocked, partly awed by how rapidly the demons' power was growing, and partly because he hadn't anticipated that the Red Dragon would be killed.

However, the next moment he looked pleasantly surprised, the soul fire burning in his eyes leapt as he mumbled, "That means they have the corpse of a Red Dragon? And perhaps even the soul of a Red Dragon?"

"I have materials for my experiments again!"

The Witch Demon expressed excitement, swiftly leaving, saying, "I'm going to meet that Demon Lord. You stay in the Skeleton Fortress."

Lord's Hall.

Just as Su Ziyu sat upon the simple throne, contemplating the next step of expansion, the Enchanting Demon adjutant suddenly appeared, looking somewhat nervous, "Master!"

"A Witch Demon has come outside! He says he wants to meet you!"

Witch Demon?

The Witch Demon from the north?

He actually dared to come straight to see me? Isn't he afraid I'll kill him?

Oh right.

He doesn't seem to be afraid.

In this world, Witch Demons can revive. The system has recorded Witch Demons' data; when transforming into a Witch Demon, they create something called a Life Box. If the Life Box isn't destroyed and just their bodies are, it's impossible to truly kill a Witch Demon.

"Bring him in," Su Ziyu said in a deep voice.

Soon.

An undead, clad in a grey-black robe, appeared in the Lord's Hall. Unlike Bird he had seen earlier, this one was completely a skeleton, with soul fire dancing in his eye sockets, wearing three different rings on his finger bones, astonishingly displaying a rather amiable look. The slightly opened jawbone seemed to be smiling.

Can you understand that feeling?

A skull with a smiling expression, it looked quite creepy.

"Hello, Demon Lord." The Witch Demon in front appeared hasty, immediately speaking, "I heard you killed that bothersome Red Dragon?"

"Could you give me its keel and soul?"

"Of course."

"I'll certainly give you satisfactory rewards!"

So he wasn't here because of the attack on the Land of Burial. This Witch Demon's visit was actually for the Red Dragon's remains and soul.

Seems like a potential partner for collaboration?

Su Ziyu glanced at the Witch Demon, rising with his massive frame, though the aura of a Leader Level demon seemed ineffective against a Witch Demon, as he felt no fear, continuing to gaze at Su Ziyu with the soul fire in his eye sockets.

"What reward? What can you offer me?" Su Ziyu slowly asked.

The Witch Demon appeared interesting, scratching his skull with a finger bone, he asked in return, "What do you want?"

"Souls? Rare items? Treasures?"

"As long as they're not too troublesome, I can find them for you."

Rare items?

An idea sparked in Su Ziyu's mind, and he said solemnly, "What rare items do you have? Don't try to fool me with junk! This is a Red Dragon, after all!"

"I am a Witch Demon," the Witch Demon named Rog seemed somewhat excited, hoarsely declared, "Do you know what being a Witch Demon means? Demon!"

This Witch Demon seemed proud of his identity.

Continuing in his hoarse voice, "The junk you mentioned, I do not possess! I only have the highest quality items! They are arcane artifacts that only legendary spellcasters could create!"

This Witch Demon isn't bad.

Su Ziyu liked dealing with people like this.

"Let me see." Su Ziyu naturally softened his tone.

The Witch Demon spread his hands, saying, "I didn't bring them with me. But I can give you a list, and you can decide. I'll bring them over for a trade."

"Don't try any tricks!"

"You know, enraging a Witch Demon is a terrifying thing."

Su Ziyu's attitude improved, slowly stating, "You'll soon discover, I'm different from other demons."

"I'm a man of my word."

"Bring it on."

"I'm also curious about what good things you have!"
