Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 174 Attacking Means Ending

With the use of the skill, Roy’s body glowed with light blue light.

This scene was very similar to when Roy used Bloodlust...

After the light blue light appeared, Roy waved his right hand slightly and began to mobilize his massive amount of magic power.

In an instant, the surroundings changed!

Roy and Ulthane were currently in a subway tunnel to the central area of the underground bunker. The moment Roy released his magic power, black ice immediately covered the surrounding walls, and all the stones and concrete that formed the entire tunnel made grinding sounds at the same time. It was due to the shrinking of these building materials at an extremely low temperature.

Under the influence of this shrinking, some stone fragments broke away from their original positions and fell from the top onto the steel rails on the ground.

In the end, with cracking sounds, the steel subway rails laid on the ground exploded. The steel material had become as fragile as glass, and the instant it came into contact with slight pressure, it immediately cracked inch by inch and exploded.

At the same time, some colorless water droplets appeared in the air. These water droplets were extremely tiny, even smaller than the raindrops described in a fine drizzle!

Ulthane did not understand what was going on. He only felt difficulty breathing the moment these colorless water droplets formed.

With the formation of these colorless water droplets, a breeze appeared in the subway tunnel, but when the breeze blew, it made more and more water droplets in the air.

These tiny water droplets were still mist-like in the air at first. But as the number of them increased, they began to gather and condense together, turning into bigger water droplets before finally looking more like rainwater. When their weight was enough, they began to fall.

With a plink, Ulthane looked on helplessly as a ‘raindrop’ hit his arm.

In Ulthane’s eyes, when the raindrop touched his skin, it started boiling like boiling water. The boiling only lasted for a few milliseconds before the raindrop turned back into mist.

But during this process, something terrible happened. Ulthane found that the skin that came into contact with the raindrop suddenly lost feeling, and his skin was instantly frozen!

“B-bad!” Ulthane wanted to speak, but he found that he could not open his mouth at all. He wanted to take a step, but he found an immense adhesive force coming from the ground, firmly sticking his shoes to the ground.

The raindrops continued to fall one by one. Those that landed on the ground instantly boiled and exploded into countless tiny mist beads. In the eyes of others, it was actually a small cloud of mist. When it landed on Ulthane, it turned into ice crystals and began to freeze his body!

Without even being able to resist, Ulthane quickly turned into an ice sculpture!

This entire process did not even take three seconds. Roy’s magic power had not even come into contact with Ulthane. It had only spread once to cause these phenomena...

Only Roy knew what was going on.

The so-called ‘Cryogenic Fate’ was actually a new skill Roy created that was similar to Bloodlust. Except for the light blue light covering his body, this skill did not have many special effects. The light blue was only used to distinguish from Bloodlust’s effect. Overall, this skill was actually a buff.

However, the attribute of this buff skill was to lower the temperature caused by Roy’s frost magic power and force it to – 200°C!

After Roy promoted to high-rank demon, he had once taken a moment to create a thermometer to test the temperature of his frost magic power. He found that even if he continuously increased the output of his magic power, his frost power would hover at most around -150°C. Although this temperature was terrifyingly low—and compared to when he was a middle-rank demon, it was a substantial improvement from -100°C— Roy still felt unsatisfied.

Where was the powerful place of frost? It was not those fancy ultimate moves, but lower, lower, and lower temperatures!

Roy had thought about where the limit of frost-type demons was before. It was nothing other than absolute zero, which was the extreme temperature that froze everything and stopped everything from functioning!

However, absolute zero was very difficult to achieve, and Roy did not know how many souls he would need to consume to achieve this goal.

It would definitely not work if he wanted to succeed overnight, so after thinking about it over and over, Roy decided to take a step-by-step approach to realize it. Thus, he created the buff skill, Cryogenic Fate.

Cryogenic Fate: At the cost of the additional consumption of magic power, forcefully reduces the temperature of the frost power to -200°C. This state can continue until the amount of magic power drops to zero.

Reality proved that Roy’s idea was right. The creation of the Cryogenic Fate skill did not consume too many of Roy’s souls. After spending over 100,000 souls to create the Cold Winter Armor, he later obtained more than 4,500 souls. In the end, he only spent 4,000 souls and 5 fallen and noble souls to obtain this Cryogenic Fate skill.

Of course, this was also because Roy’s frost power had a certain foundation, causing the consumption to be relatively low. Had his magic power been only able to create a low temperature of less than -10°C, then the consumption of souls would have definitely been way beyond that if he wanted to reduce it forcefully to less than -200°C.

In addition, it was not that Roy did not want to lower the temperature further. But he found that if the temperature continued to decrease after reaching -200°C, the consumption of souls would begin to increase dramatically. Roy tested it and discovered that he needed ten thousand souls to create a temperature of -201°C. In order to create a temperature of -202°C, the consumption of souls was eighteen thousand. The higher he went, the more it cost. From this point, each quarter degree increase cost two thousand more souls than the previous level.

Roy was not very good at math, so he did not calculate how many souls he needed to reach absolute zero. But in any case, the immense consumption of souls left him with no choice but to back down. In the end, he chose the most cost-effective – 200°C.

Although it did not reach absolute zero, making the obsessive-compulsive patient very unhappy, the effects caused by the temperature of -200°C were very shocking...

Because at this temperature, the oxygen and nitrogen in the air directly liquefied!

The tiny colorless water droplets that Ulthane saw just now were liquified oxygen and nitrogen. This was the reason he felt it was difficult to breathe. Fortunately, the place where the two of them were fighting was not a sealed space. Otherwise, even if Ulthane had not frozen, he would have quickly died of suffocation!

Once oxygen and nitrogen liquefied, their volume naturally decreased, and the nearby gas would fill in. This was the reason the airflows formed in the subway passage. As these airflows filled in, more oxygen and nitrogen liquefied again, finally forming rain droplets that dripped down.

The liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen were extremely terrifying. When they dripped down and came into contact with objects with higher temperatures, they would immediately undergo super-cold boiling. If there were enough liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, you could even see a scene like boiling water. During this process, the process of heat transmission would accelerate to a very short period!

In particular, Roy’s fight with Ulthane was in a relatively narrow space, which even more so displayed the effectiveness of his frost power to the pinnacle.

In the past, Roy’s frost power’s temperature was not too low. Even if he wanted to freeze his target, it would take at least three seconds. But now that it had reached – 200°C, the freezing time shortened to about two seconds.

Don’t underestimate this difference of one second. In fact, one second could almost determine whether the target could react or not and whether they could use magic power to protect themselves! The difference in this was massive.

Not even giving time to react meant that it was over...
