How High-Quality Souls Are Formed

When Roy heard about Dracula and his three brides from Lucius, he had a premonition. And when he finally heard the name Van Helsing, he was finally sure that he had probably arrived in the world of the Van Helsing movie!

At this moment, although his expression remained unchanged, Roy's shock was immense.

He had originally thought that he had simply been reborn into a demon world and hadn't thought much of it. However, after being summoned, he discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined!

Movies were mere fiction, yet why would the Abyss Gate connect to a world created by people's imaginations?

If the world of the Van Helsing movie existed, could other imaginary worlds also exist? And the Demon World where demons resided, was that also imaginary?

What was illusion, and what was reality?

Roy's mind was in chaos, utterly jumbled, so much so that he didn't hear anything Lucius said afterward.

Lucius also noticed that Roy seemed a bit absent-minded, which made him even more uneasy. He was actually the town chief of Transylvania Town, the only remaining dilapidated noble in the town. Because the town was constantly under the threat of vampires, yet they couldn't escape, the cowardly Lucius prayed to God daily without any response. In despair, he thought of seeking the help of demons.

Actually, at first, Lucius intended to summon a demon to kill Vampire Dracula, using a demon to deal with a demon. However, when he actually summoned Roy, a demon, he suddenly remembered the rumors about Dracula's rise to power. Greed quickly grew in his heart again. He was no longer satisfied with just eliminating the vampire to save his own life; he wanted to obtain eternal life like the vampires.

But now he suddenly realized that at a time when the church had already sent people to deal with the vampire, he had actually summoned a demon. This seemed a bit problematic!

What if this demon before him misunderstood and thought he had tricked him, and in a fit of rage, broke the contract and killed him?

Lucius didn't know what Roy was thinking at the moment. He just instinctively felt that the atmosphere was heavy and could only wait anxiously for Roy's judgment.

Just then, Lucius suddenly felt an invisible force holding him up, making him float in mid-air, and he was instantly thrown into a panic.

Using telekinesis, Roy pulled Lucius in front of him. His demon vertical pupils stared intently at him, making Lucius feel horrifying. After a long while, he asked, "Is it daytime or nighttime outside now?"

"It's night, night!" Lucius replied, sweating profusely.

Bang! Roy withdrew his telekinesis, and Lucius's fat body immediately fell to the ground. Roy, on the other hand, flapped his wings vigorously, breaking through the wooden ceiling above him and flying upwards.

The place where Lucius set up the Demon Summoning Ritual was in the basement of his manor. Such an evil ritual naturally could not be known to anyone. Seeing Roy fly out suddenly, Lucius became even more terrified, fearing that if Roy flew out and was seen by others, they would discover his act of summoning a demon. He hurriedly chased after him from the staircase.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned back. He took out two muskets from under his cloak and pointed them at the cloaked figures who had participated in the summoning ritual.

"I'm sorry, ladies, I can't let this get out, so you die!" Lucius said and immediately opened fire!

Lucius himself was just an ordinary person; he had no magic. If it were just him alone, how could he have activated the summoning ritual? So, it wasn't him who activated the magic array, but these women in black cloaks. They were what people commonly called witches. These witches possessed a faint amount of magic, and it was their combined effort that activated the magic array.

These witches were originally bodyguards that Lucius had secretly hired to guard against Vampire Dracula. But now, having witnessed the appearance of a demon, these witches could no longer be kept alive. So, Lucius pulled the trigger without hesitation, killing them in the basement.

And because Lucius had already signed a contract with Roy, the souls formed by these murdered witches directly floated towards the hole Roy had created, flying towards Roy's location.

Lucius was originally an ordinary person, but at this moment, he could actually see these soul light orbs. After being stunned for a while, he finally remembered and rushed out again.

On the high rooftop of Lucius's manor, Roy was currently crouching. The season was winter, and the rooftop was covered in white snow, making it quite cold. The gloomy sky showed no moonlight or starlight. But when Roy picked up a handful of snow, he found it to be so real. The snow melted in his hand, turning into water droplets that fell, each step and posture so natural.

Transylvania Town was a small town built along a mountain range. Because Lucius was the last remaining noble in the town, his manor was also built on higher terrain. Roy, crouching on the rooftop, could overlook the entire town from a high vantage point. At night, the town was dotted with scattered firelight, and a thin layer of smoke enveloped the town. It was the smoke from people burning wood to make fire for warmth.

Roy looked at the scene somewhat dazedly. Everything before him was so real, yet it gave him a sense of unreality. Upon learning that the world he had entered was the same as the plot of the movie Van Helsing, Roy felt that his current experience was very similar to those Infinite Flow Novels.

However, the difference was that he hadn't seen any Main God, nor had any tasks been assigned to him. He had come to this world simply because a greedy human had performed a Demon Summoning...

What truly confused Roy was that he suddenly didn't know what he should do in this world...

Four Soul Light Orbs floated up through the barrier, hovering beside Roy. Roy understood immediately; these were the souls Lucius had offered. He hadn't expected that fellow to kill all his subordinates!

Roy casually grabbed a soul and tossed it into his mouth. Feeling the Joy from devouring the soul, he suddenly understood. Damn it, whether it was real or illusory, since he was living as a demon, he would just live like this for now. As for what he should do, did he need to think about it further... his mission was actually to harvest souls!

A delicious soul brought Roy back to his senses. He picked up the other three souls and looked at them, finding that although they were Low-grade Souls, their Volume was much larger than any he had obtained before.

Even the one he had just eaten, in the system interface, had given him a 1.2 increase in his demon energy limit!

"Huh? So, Human Souls are actually more powerful than demon souls?" Roy was somewhat incredulous. Was this because human emotions were richer than those of demons?

Thinking of this, Roy suddenly understood why there was an Abyss Gate in the Demon World that could connect to other worlds. Was it because even demons knew that human souls were better, and that's why they wanted to hunt human souls in other worlds?

As Roy was thinking this, Lucius also climbed onto the Rooftop, panting. It was truly difficult for his obese body.

"Master..." Lucius wanted to persuade Roy to go down, but he didn't know how to start.

Roy actually knew what he meant, but he didn't intend to comply. "I'm a demon, do I need to care about your feelings?"

However, at this moment, Roy suddenly discovered that a faint Fragrance was emanating from Lucius. The Fragrance was very faint, but it already made Roy's mouth water.

At first, Roy thought he was mistaken. How could a gluttonous, sweaty Fatty make him have such a Thought? But then Roy realized that this Fragrance wasn't coming from his body, but... from his soul!

Recalling that Lucius had just killed his subordinates and offered four souls, Roy suddenly had an epiphany.

His soul was emitting this Fragrance, could it be because he was starting... to fall?
