Wizard Immortal

Chapter 748 Earth Demon King

In the dimly lit area, a patch of dim lights flickered, looking at the scene as if thousands of lanterns were constantly flashing, which was both beautiful and somewhat eerie.

If you zoom in and look closely, you can see the desolation of the area in front of you.

The surrounding area looked extremely desolate. The earth was a deep red, devoid of any vegetation, not even the most resilient wild grasses. It appeared utterly bleak and barren.

If someone saw this place, they would probably turn around and leave immediately.

Even those who yearn for land the most would shake their heads.

This is a godforsaken place.

And at this moment, in this godforsaken place, a massive castle stands.

A castle stands here, and at this moment a faint glow emanates from it.

That was the radiance created by the condensation of the power of the abyss, forming halos in this place that looked like lanterns from afar, shimmering with a faint light.

Aside from its strange colors and patterns, it looks quite nice at first glance and is a rare decorative item.

Every now and then, little demons curiously raised their heads, gazing at the large lantern that kept flashing before them. Some even stretched out their claws, seemingly wanting to touch it and see what was inside.

boom!

A crisp sound erupted from this place.

Several lesser demons were instantly knocked down, followed by several powerful demons with burly builds and an aura different from the surrounding lesser demons, who stepped forward with fierce and menacing expressions.

"No slacking off, get to work!"

These demons appeared to be overseers here, waving whips around. When they saw any lesser demons slacking off, they would pick up the whips and strike them.

To some extent, it was because of these overseers that the place did not completely descend into chaos.

You must understand that the nature of demons is chaos. Without a powerful fist to suppress them, these little demons could probably tear this place apart in no time.

Want to build a castle? Keep dreaming.

Adir obviously didn't have this dream.

Although he hasn't been born for long, he has already grasped the survival rules among demons during his time in the abyss.

In short, they are a group of masochists.

If you try to talk to them nicely, they won't listen to you. Instead, they'll think you're weak and easy to bully and want to come over and harass you.

But if you look fierce and have a fist in each hand, they will be incredibly obedient, more obedient than the most honest person.

That's just how reality is.

In Adir's previous life, there were also so-called gold-digging women and men, who were said to be quite materialistic, but compared to these demons, they would probably be ashamed of themselves.

There's no way around it; any demons that aren't realistic enough in this abyss would probably have been killed long ago.

To survive, one must be despicable and shameless, and be prepared for the harsh realities of life—these are things even a demon must learn.

However, after getting used to the rules of this place, Adir found it quite interesting.

This is a typical example of authoritarian rule.

There is no inherent hierarchy among demons; they can only rely on their own fists.

In other places, those who can rise to high positions may be wise men or weaklings of noble blood, but in the abyss, those who can rise to high positions are inevitably the ones with the biggest fists.

If your fist isn't big enough, but you're positioned too high, then congratulations, you'll probably be saying goodbye to this world soon.

Adir sat on a chair, watching the little devils bustling about in the distance, holding a blood-red drink in his hand that looked like blood and had a faint smell of blood.

Beside Adir, several alluring female demons with human-like features served him.

A scene of corruption.

If this were Adir's previous life, he would have been absolutely roasted to death for looking like this.

However, Adi was feeling quite good at the moment.

He didn't get caught up in the feeling; he simply enjoyed the feeling that was different from the past.

Strictly speaking, in the past, although Adi was of noble status and powerful, he had never had such an experience.

The worlds he had experienced in the past were all orderly, dominated by intelligent groups, and he could integrate into the mainstream without having to make such an attitude.

But that won't work in the abyss world right now.

In the Abyss, the strong prey on the weak, and the law of the jungle prevails. If you try to talk to these demons about order or reason in a serious manner, they will turn around and slap you.

Here, acting recklessly is the epitome of power; if you do things properly, you'll be looked down upon.

As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. After arriving in this world, Adir naturally followed the rules of survival in this world.

After all, before you reach a certain level, changing yourself is always much easier than changing the world.

During his time in this world, Adir also acquired a new name.

"Earth Demon King!" A voice came from afar.

Adir paused, but did not turn around.

"What's wrong now?"

He asked casually, as he had grown accustomed to it over the years.

"Your lights have been taken down!"

A burly demon, nearly three meters tall, knelt there, trembling as it looked at Adir before it, appearing utterly terrified.

"It's been demolished again?"

Adir stood up with a sigh, glancing at the towering, three-meter-tall demon beside him: "What's going on this time?"

"I don't know, it seems like they killed themselves..."

The burly demon tilted his head, looking puzzled as he spoke, clearly not understanding why the lights, which had been working perfectly, had suddenly gone out on their own.

"Okay, it seems it's still unstable..."

Adir patted his head and shook his head helplessly.

After arriving here, in order to make full use of his advantages, Adir transformed some of the things he had learned in the past.

As a wizard himself, he had mastered many wizarding spell templates. As long as he adapted to the rules of this world, he could directly use those templates after making slight modifications.

This approach is quite interesting.

Don't be fooled by the fact that some of the templates for witchcraft may seem weak; they can play a significant role in this abyss.

The demons in the abyss are indeed powerful, each one having fought their way out of mountains and seas of blood. Any living demon, even a minor one, could be as effective as a knight in the wizarding world.

However, compared to wizards, these demons' methods are far too limited.

They could only engage in hand-to-hand combat when facing the enemy, and had no ranged abilities whatsoever.

Apart from a few rare demons who possess some spell-like abilities, the rest of the demons are pitiful tanks, relying solely on their fists and claws for combat, with virtually no tricks up their sleeves.

This was almost the complete opposite of the demons Adir had imagined.

After discovering this situation, Adir took some of the witchcraft templates he possessed and used them directly.

This process wasn't too difficult. After all, for wizards, knowledge is fundamental. Even if they were in a different world, as long as they adapted to the rules of that world and understood the differences between the two worlds, they could still use the knowledge from the previous world.

The lanterns from before were modified from a certain witchcraft template.

Its prototype was a certain kind of illumination spell, but Adir had forgotten which version it was. However, the effect was quite good. In the wizarding world, once this spell was cast, it could last for several years.

The entire improved version of Adir is different again.

Because of the lack of resources, this lighting technique was also thoroughly improved.

The light, which should have been maintained by various elements, was now maintained by the power of the abyss, and its structure was completely different from that in the wizarding world.

So different, in fact, that even the founder of this illumination technique, upon arriving here and seeing Adir's improved version, would absolutely not recognize it.

Even with such thorough improvements and rapid localization, these witchcraft practices still occasionally encounter problems.

For example, this illumination spell, because the energy it contains has been transformed into the power of the abyss, will occasionally encounter problems, either exploding on its own or being extinguished by someone else.

This is because the power of the abyss is extremely unstable.

After all, the primary function of the Deep Source Power is to kill people; asking it to be used for lighting is a bit unreasonable.

My major doesn't match my job.

Adir shook his head, glanced at the burly demon trembling before him, and after a moment's thought, stepped forward to replenish the power of the extinguished lanterns.

There's nothing we can do about it.

There is no distinction between day and night in the abyss; what affects visibility is merely the activity of the abyss's will and the overflow of its power.

The place Adir chose was rather special; the surrounding abyssal power was relatively dormant, making the entire region appear quite dim.

If an ordinary person were to enter this hellish place, they would be guaranteed to see nothing.

That's why Adir had to make those lanterns and have them provide light here.

Otherwise, even if he had so many demons at his disposal, he probably wouldn't be able to guarantee the completion of the project.

"But speaking of which, the intelligence of demons is quite astonishing..."

As Adir walked around the still-unfinished castle, looking at the constantly flickering orbs of light and the demons working tirelessly beneath them, this thought flashed through his mind.

When he first arrived in the Abyss, he originally thought that chaotic creatures like demons must be very unintelligent, far inferior to humans or other intelligent races that grew up in a normal environment.

The final test results surprised him.
