This first soul had come easily. His opponent had offered almost no resistance. Opportunities like this surely would not come often, and Roy had originally wanted to seize the time to gather a few more souls for later. But when he looked around, he discovered something rather awkward: too many monks, too little porridge!
There were too few Demon Eggs on the beach that had failed to hatch, while there were far too many hatched little demons. In just a Short While, all the Demon Eggs had been snatched away!
Roy had only managed to get that Demon Egg because he had been closer to it. Now, when he tried to find another, he saw several little demons in the distance already fighting over a single Demon Egg.
At the sight, Roy suddenly shuddered. This gu raising-like method of birth among the Demon Race gave him another Bad Omen. Would those strong little demons who had failed to get Demon Eggs turn on the weaker-looking ones that had already hatched next!?
Looking at his own Small Arms and Legs, Roy felt that he was probably in for some bad luck...
No, he had to think of something fast! Roy hurriedly summoned the Custom-Made Interface.
Though he had been born a demon, Roy still possessed Human Thinking. The first thing that came to mind was getting himself a weapon!
And when it came to weapons, naturally, it had to be a firearm. Roy's first thought was to draw a handgun.
Thinking was doing. After selecting Create New Blank Page in the interface, Roy began working on the Blank Page. Since he had no mouse to operate with, he could only select the Brush Tool and draw directly by hand.
Roy had put some thought into this. He knew that aside from handling a gun once during University Military Training, his knowledge of firearms was actually quite limited. So this time, he drew a revolver!
The advantages of a revolver were its simple Mechanical Structure, durability, Stable Performance, and the fact that it was Not Prone to Malfunction or jam. Even if there was a dud round, it would not affect the firing of the next bullet.
Of course, Roy wanted a more beautiful, cooler, more modern firearm. But the thought of a Gun Misfire at a Life and Death moment made him feel terrible all over. A revolver was more suitable for a rookie like him...
It did not take long before a revolver took shape under Roy's hand. Yet when he looked at it, Roy felt an Urge to Hit the Wall.
It had been too long since he had drawn by hand. This revolver, which had almost been formed in one go, came out crooked and misshapen. What should have been straight was bent, what should have been bent was straight. It had No Aesthetic Appeal whatsoever, looking more like a Simple Drawing-style doodle.
However, anyone involved in Art Design knew that a draft usually needed Repeated Modifications before it could be completed. Roy was not Discouraged. All he needed to do next was make some changes with the Auxiliary Line Tool, then add color and refine the shadows and textures. Only then would the gun be Truly Completed.
However, just as Roy was about to begin, a strange cry suddenly sounded behind him.
"Gua Ya!!"
Roy stiffened and quickly Turned Around. Then he saw that the one making the strange noise behind him was the Four-Eyed Little Devil from before!
The Four-Eyed Little Devil had come to his senses from the Pleasure of Devouring Souls. He had wanted to continue slaughtering the other unhatched Demon Eggs, but found that there were none left to snatch. While Angry, he happened to notice Roy, this Strange Fellow Creature. More precisely, he had been attracted by the Soul Light Orb floating beside Roy!
While the other little demons were greedily Foraging for Souls, Roy, who had gained a soul but had not immediately devoured it, stood out like a firefly in the night. So the Four-Eyed Little Devil came toward him, all four eyes Staring Intently at the soul beside Roy. Saliva Dripping Like Water fell from his Mouth Full of Sharp Teeth.
Demons possessed powerful Digestive Systems, so they needed Blood Food. But if souls and Blood Food were placed before them at the same time, most demons would Prioritize souls...
When Roy turned around, the Greedy Gaze in the Four-Eyed Little Devil's eyes became increasingly obvious. His instincts told him that this fellow creature before him was Very Weak. If he killed Roy, he could obtain Two Souls at once!
Just as Roy had guessed, many strong little demons on the beach who had failed to seize a Soul Feast had now set their sights on Weaker Individuals. It was not just where Roy and the Four-Eyed Little Devil stood; the Same Thing was happening elsewhere as well...
A New Round of Fighting was about to begin. This was the Law of the Demon World. Only the Strongest Individual could leave these Hatching Grounds...
The moment Roy saw the Four-Eyed Little Devil's expression, he Immediately Realized What He Wanted to Do.
He wanted to Modify and Perfect it further, but it seemed he had no chance now. So while warily watching his opponent, Roy Quickly Used the Text Function to define the revolver he had drawn.
And the definition he wrote was: [Firearm], [Precision], [Infinite Ammo]!
Using the Short While of his standoff with the Four-Eyed Little Devil, he completed the Function Definition. Then he quickly used the Puzzle Function to drag the handgun material onto the Main Page, placing it in the hand of his Selfie. Finally, he chose to save immediately!
The Soul Light Orb floating beside Roy vanished with a flash.
However, to his utter embarrassment, the revolver he wanted did not manifest in his hand. Instead, the system gave a Prompt Tone: Insufficient Soul Count. Current Save Progress can only reach 23%. You may Choose to Cancel Save or modify the material!
Not Enough Souls! The Function Definition for his gun had exceeded the Carrying Capacity of a single soul!
This accident left Roy stunned for a moment. At that instant, the Four-Eyed Little Devil opposite him Let Out a Burst of Angry Roar.
The Four-Eyed Little Devil had kept his eyes on the Soul Light Orb beside Roy. Yet at the moment Roy saved, the orb had directly disappeared. The prey that had nearly been his had vanished, so naturally the Four-Eyed Little Devil was enraged.
He could not see Roy's System Interface and merely thought Roy had used Some Method to hide the soul. With a push off the ground, he lunged fiercely at Roy!
His Body Size was one size larger than Roy's, and naturally, he weighed more as well. As he Lunged Down From Above, he immediately Pinned Roy to the Ground, opened his mouth, and bit toward Roy's face!
How could Roy let himself be bitten? He hurriedly waved a hand and Slapped the Four-Eyed Little Devil's face from the side, knocking his head aside.
It was a Subconscious Reaction. Once the other party lunged at him, Roy had only thought of fighting back. But unexpectedly, the nails on his Claws were Quite Sharp. As he slapped the Four-Eyed Little Devil, he actually scratched Several Blood Stains across the other's face.
"Gua Ya!!"
The Four-Eyed Little Devil's face was covered in blood after Roy clawed him. In a rage, he too swung both claws and attacked Roy.
Newly hatched little demons were all in Juvenile Form and could not possibly have many Combat Methods. There was naturally no real technique to their fight. Both relied on Physical Strength and Sharp Teeth and Claws to battle. But Roy was not as strong as the Four-Eyed Little Devil, and in their Mutual Attacks, Roy quickly Suffered a Disadvantage. If the system rated his strength at fourteen points, then this little demon's strength was at least twenty. It was Much Stronger Than Him!
This could not continue. Roy, pressed to the ground, Seized an opening and suddenly kicked upward from below, striking the Four-Eyed Little Devil in the crotch. He used a Vital Strike, Weak Point Break!
He had noticed earlier that this Four-Eyed Little Devil was also male. Or rather, males had always made up the majority in Demon Groups. Since they had all just hatched from eggs, none of them could possibly have clothes covering them. It was Extremely Simple to land the kick. This might have been Roy's Only Advantage. At least he could maintain Basic Calmness and think during combat instead of Completely Relying On Physical Instinct.
However, the imagined Critical Damage did not appear. Though the Four-Eyed Little Devil let out a strange cry from Roy's kick, he did not lose his fighting strength. Instead, Taking Advantage of the opportunity, he Bit Down On Roy's shoulder!
It seemed that Weak Point Break, which was useful against Human Male opponents, was not very useful against male demons. Their Vital Areas were Not That Fragile...
After Roy was bitten, the Four-Eyed Little Devil immediately tore off a chunk of flesh from him. There was No Pain in his shoulder. Instead, A Numb and Itchy Sensation spread through it, making Roy Immediately Realize that the Four-Eyed Little Devil's saliva might be poisonous!
After all, creatures like demons had already gone beyond Roy's Cognition of Worldview. No ability they possessed was Worth Wondering about!
As he became Increasingly Unable to Support himself, Roy had No Other Choice. Gritting His Teeth, he summoned the System Interface again. With One Hand, he Tried to Parry the Four-Eyed Little Devil's attacks as best he could, while The Other Hand Quickly Operated the interface.
Roy Should Be Grateful that he had Finished Drawing the handgun before the Four-Eyed Little Devil attacked. If he had not, he could never have completed the drawing in the midst of such a fight. But now, all he needed to do was modify the Text Definition...
Roy had already figured it out. The reason he could not Save and Manifest the revolver had to be because the [Infinite Ammo] attribute had exceeded his limit!
He had originally suffered from Fear of Insufficient Firepower and wanted to use his weapon without being limited by bullets. But now it seemed that manifesting the Infinite Ammo function required a very high Required Soul Demand...
So in This Modification, he directly removed the Infinite Ammo Definition. He even canceled the Precision Attribute Definition as well, changing it only to [Fully Loaded]!
When he saved again, Roy's Right Hand suddenly felt something. A Cold Object appeared in his hand.
At this Critical Moment, though Roy knew he had finally Saved Successfully, he had no time to look. The moment his fingers touched the trigger, he immediately pressed the muzzle against the abdomen of the Four-Eyed Little Devil, who was pressing on him and Fiercely Attacking...
The next second, a Loud Noise rang out!
Bang!!!
