It's good that he escaped, but this incident served as a wake-up call for Roy.

It seems that being summoned to other worlds still requires caution.

Although even lower demons are stronger than many monsters in the human world, this does not mean demons can act with impunity. Demons also have powerful enemies.

Demons are often summoned by humans, but in the human world, demons are generally unwelcome. Even if humans want to borrow the power of demons, they despise and fear them. Many exorcists even dedicate themselves to killing demons. It can be said that on human territory, demons are inherently at a huge disadvantage, which is called a home field disadvantage.

Roy found this the most frustrating. He had a human mind in a demon's body. He couldn't consider demons his own kind, but when he went to the human world, humans also couldn't consider him their own kind. Even if he did nothing wrong, people would shout and kill him just by seeing his appearance.

Roy clearly realized this back then, which is why he could attack demons and humans alike. He knew he was isolated and wouldn't be welcomed by either side. If he wanted to live well, he shouldn't have any naive thoughts.

After seeing Gabriel's angelic form, Roy, despite his fear, was actually quite envious. Why couldn't he have been reborn as an angel? If he had been reborn as an angel, even if he let humans suffer from monsters for centuries, he could have appeared at the end and easily resolved the situation, earning countless people's worship and gratitude... Unlike now, where his appearance causes panic and makes people wish him dead immediately...

Thinking about it really... it's a strange feeling! Damn it, it's true that looks are justice!

Because I'm too beautiful, I'll be forgiven for whatever I do... right?

Shaking his head, Roy left the altar and climbed out of the volcano, planning to find a place to settle down before examining his harvest.

Both Gabriel's sacred soul fragment and Lucius's fallen soul were stored in the system by Roy. He didn't dare to take them out for a closer look. He knew that if these two items appeared in the Abyss World, they would likely cause the demons here to riot. Only by storing them in the system space could their scent be isolated.

He had expected to harvest a fallen soul and a noble soul this time, but he didn't even see a shadow of a noble soul. Instead, he ended up with a sacred soul fragment. Could this be considered losing one thing but gaining another?

Since fallen souls and noble souls are both considered high-quality souls, what level is a sacred soul? What can it be used for?

Roy didn't know the answers to these questions for now; he would have to experiment himself.

After flying out of the volcano, Roy leaned against the cave ceiling and found a nest belonging to a flying demon. This nest was essentially just an opening, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. The original owner had likely been hunted and killed during a hunt, so Roy directly claimed the nest for himself.

You wouldn't believe it, but it was quite spacious inside. After crawling in, Roy found that it could accommodate about two or three of his size.

After settling into the nest, Roy began to study the system.

As Roy had predicted, in the system interface, as soon as Lucius's fallen soul was obtained, the 3D and AE function interfaces were unlocked and became usable.

As Roy studied, he consulted the system and quickly understood what these two functions were for.

The 3D function was essentially for Roy to create models, and AE was for Roy to create special effects and generate videos.

Furthermore, these two functions were used in combination. Roy could use the 3D function to create his own character model, draw different action poses, and then layer them together to form a continuous action sequence. Then, using AE, he could add special effects, generate a video, and extract a certain number of frames from it to create a GIF Image File.

Simply put, the GIF images generated through these two functions were actually a Skill Effect Demonstration! Once this material was saved, Roy could use the skill from this GIF, and even the special effects produced would be exactly the same!

When Roy understood the function of these two features, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. Damn Wang Dachui, you can play it like this??

Roy immediately became interested and quickly started fiddling with it.

The work of 3D modeling was rather tedious. Before drawing your own character model, you had to first decide what different actions you needed to perform in the skill demonstration, and then draw each of these different actions.

At the same time, if Roy needed special effects to accompany these actions, he would also need to model those special effects. For example, if Roy wanted flame effects, he would need to determine the trajectory of the flames: would they spread out or shoot straight up? He had to create all of that. In short, the various sub-functions within these two functions, when combined, essentially formed the Animation Production Process.

Therefore, while drawing and modeling, Roy was contemplating what kind of skill he wanted to create.

Since it was an Original Skill, Roy could draw it however he pleased. However, he had to consider two issues simultaneously. The first was the quantity of Lucius's Fallen Soul. Manifesting a skill required consuming this High-Quality Soul, so naturally, more complex special effects would consume more High-Quality Soul.

The second issue was his own magic energy. Roy had already asked the system, and the final power of the skill created would depend on the size of Roy's own magic power.

He could completely create a skill that caused a Nuclear Explosion by spitting on the ground. But even if he actually made it, with his current magic power, the explosion would probably only have the power of a Grenade. Furthermore, his magic energy would be depleted after a single use, making it impossible to achieve the effects shown in the skill demonstration.

So, after much thought, Roy felt that his first skill should preferably have simple effects and be usable continuously with his current magic power! He could gradually modify the special effects and increase the power later when his magic power improved.

In other words, this skill should ideally be a [Q] skill...

While he was thinking, when he actually started designing, Roy suddenly found himself in a dilemma. What kind of Q skill should he create?

This first skill could also be considered Roy's first magic, a Novice Level skill. Initially, Roy thought of effects like Fireball or Shadow Arrow. Such skills were relatively easy to implement, and regardless of the magic power, they should be able to perfectly achieve the set special effects when fired.

But the problem was, he felt that such skills weren't cool enough...

For this first skill, does anyone have any good ideas? Feel free to leave a comment and discuss.
