Roy's initial intention was to create a ranged spell skill. On one hand, he felt that spells shot out like "biubiu" were quite cool. On the other hand, he subconsciously believed that only spells that could be fired outwards could be called magic.

Roy knew many such spells. There were Fire Arrows, Frost Arrows, Chaos Arrows, and even Spirit Spheres, Wind Blades, and Super Electromagnetic Cannons. However, with too many ideas, Roy suffered from indecisiveness, wanting to learn everything.

But currently, Roy only had one Fallen Soul, and he didn't know how much it would consume to manifest a magic skill. Therefore, Roy had to suppress his thoughts and decided it was best to consider his own situation.

He had a trip to the Van Helsing world. Although it was purely for exploration and clarification, and he spent most of his time as a bystander, almost not making it back in the end if he hadn't planned to return in advance, this first experience of being summoned made Roy understand many things.

Worlds that could summon demons should mostly possess Magical Supernatural Power. However, this supernatural power also had levels, commonly known as Low-Magic High-Magic worlds. In low-magic worlds, whether it was an Exorcist or monsters, they mostly relied on their Physical Strength in combat. This resulted in even Lower Demons from the Shallow Abyss World being able to wreak havoc in these worlds.

Roy himself was a Lower Demon. Due to the T-Virus Enhancement, he had already tapped into most of the potential of his Demon Body. His current Strength was basically that of a normal Lower Top Tier demon. Yet, even with this Strength, he could crush famous Vampire monsters like Dracula in the Van Helsing world.

However, it was worth noting that due to his impure bloodline, Roy himself was unsure if his demon body had any possibility of evolution. According to Roy's plan, he would either seek promotion through the ancient laws that demons had followed for millennia, or find a way to collect a large number of souls and use the system to transform himself for promotion. Either method meant that Roy would have to stay in the Shallow Abyss World for quite some time.

Roy also didn't know how large the Shallow Abyss World was, nor how many Lower Demons lived there. Who knew if there were demons among them with greater Strength or speed than him?

After all, the so-called Lower Top Tier only referred to a stage for demons, not that their Strength had reached its peak. It meant that after passing the Juvenile Form, enduring the Growth Stage, and entering the Maturity stage, they could all be called Lower Top Tier... And the longer a demon lived, the more powerful it became; this was an undeniable fact.

Roy felt that with his current magic power, the destructive power of a Magic Arrow might not even be as high as that of swinging his Claws. After much thought, Roy finally decided what his first skill should be.

He decided that his first magic skill should also be able to strengthen his Strength and speed!

Thus, after making up his mind, Roy began the modeling. He first meticulously depicted a normal model of himself, then, following the principle of a fixed scale, he duplicated a larger model...

After some busy work, which actually didn't take much time, Roy quickly completed a GIF Demonstration.

In this demonstration, Roy's body was initially normal. However, as a burst of red light emanated from his entire body, his body began to swell. Not only did his height increase, but the muscles on his body also became stronger.

At the same time, Roy even imagined BGM dubbing for this demonstration: "Auuuuuu..."

This was a very familiar demonstration. That's right! Its name was Bloodthirst Technique!

After completing the demonstration animation, Roy began to define the skill. The name remained unchanged: Bloodthirst Technique. Roy's description for this skill was: [Increase Strength and Speed by a percentage].

Roy did not set a strict percentage for the increase. After all, if he were to set it himself, he would definitely want increases like 100% or 200%, the higher the better. But setting it too high would definitely lead to a significant increase in Soul Consumption.

If he set it too low, he wouldn't know what the best Cost-Effectiveness would be. So, he simply left the increase data to the system, which would provide the optimal adaptation.

Thus, Roy's first magic skill was completed. The modeling for this skill was quite simple, not even requiring any extra movements, just enlarging the model. The rest was nothing more than the Blood Red Light Effect constantly emanating from his entire body during the duration of the Bloodthirst Technique.

Roy tried to save the skill, and soon, in Roy's Attribute Panel, a new ability, Bloodthirst Technique, appeared in the skills section.

Eagerly, Roy wanted to test it out. But looking at the nest, Roy was a bit hesitant. So, he flew out and landed on the ground before using it on himself.

Since no extra movements were set, Bloodthirst Technique was almost instantaneous. As the blood-red light enveloped Roy's entire body, he immediately felt a tremendous Sense of Power surging through him.

Roy's original two-meter-tall body began to continuously swell. The muscles in his arms, chest, abdomen, and legs bulged prominently. The feeling was akin to transforming from Dwayne Johnson into the Hulk, causing Roy to let out a roar!

A moment later, the swelling stopped. Roy's height had surged to about two and a half meters, and his Weight had also increased significantly. The ground he stood on had already been pressed into a shallow Pit by his increased Weight. Even his wings had become larger and wider. The blood-red light permeated his entire Body Surface, radiating outwards.

Roy looked at the ground, picked up a millstone-sized rock with both hands, and weighed it. He felt it was probably dozens of kilograms heavy. He inserted the claws of his right hand forcefully into the stone, then lifted the stone with one hand and flung it forward fiercely!

The large stone, with a whistling sound, was thrown out. It flew for a long time in mid-air, tracing an arc before smashing into a spot about a thousand meters away!

"Oh wow!" Roy couldn't help but exclaim. Such strength was truly extraordinary.

Then Roy pushed off the ground fiercely, and with a swish, he shot out. In a short while, he crossed the thousand-meter distance and arrived at the rock's landing spot.

"I used... about thirty seconds?"

Roy just estimated the time he took and reached a conclusion. Now, just by running with his legs, he could easily run at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, like a car speeding on a highway. This speed was incredible...

And his strength was outrageously high. He didn't even know how strong he was now.

Opening his System Panel, Roy found that his Strength Attribute had increased from the original 77 to 108 points, and his Speed had increased from the original 35 points to 50 points. This meant that the increase brought by this Bloodthirst Technique was about 40%. Although this value was not as high as the 100% Roy had imagined, he was still very satisfied. This was because the Magic Power consumption of Bloodthirst Technique was only 20 points, which was equivalent to about 2% attribute increase per point of Magic Power.

The most crucial thing was that the duration was also very long. It took a full three minutes before the light of Bloodthirst Technique dissipated.

This was the optimized choice automatically adapted by the system. Although the increase was only 40%, the Magic Power consumption was within an acceptable range, and the duration was enough to support Roy's Small-Scale Combat.

Roy was naturally satisfied with this, but what made him even more satisfied was that this skill did not completely consume that Corrupted Soul! There was still a lot left!

This surprised Roy a little. It seemed that the Corrupted Soul was not only of high quality, but the Soul Power Value contained within it was also more than he had imagined.

As for the remaining part of the Corrupted Soul, Roy thought about it and decided not to create another skill. Instead, he made appropriate modifications to Bloodthirst Technique. He added a definition attribute to this skill: [Can be cast on a Designated Target]!

This meant that after this modification, Bloodthirst Technique could not only be cast on Roy himself but also on the target Roy wanted to buff.

After saving this modification, it consumed quite a lot of the Corrupted Soul. Now the system's description of this Corrupted Soul had become "about to dissipate," meaning not much was left.

Roy still had the souls of Anna and Viken, as well as several other Human Souls contributed by Lucius. They were all relatively large in volume but were all Low-quality Souls. Thinking about it, Roy used these souls again to make Refined Magic Power Potions.

After drinking the Refined Magic Power Potion, Roy's Magic Power Attribute increased by another dozen points, breaking through 40 points. This way, he could at least guarantee that his Magic Power was enough to use Bloodthirst Technique twice.

The Ordinary Souls obtained were basically all consumed. What Roy had left now was only that "Sacred Soul Fragment"...

So, what could the Sacred Soul Fragment be used for?

I am very sorry for the late update. I could guarantee the update time while working, but during the holidays, my life has become more irregular. Today, there will only be one update. I have some documents to prepare for work tomorrow, and I must finish them.
