Spellcasting Gods

"Don't you understand the situation yet? In fact, I'm the one who should be asking that question. What gave you the courage to summon someone as dangerous as me? Besides, Boruen, my closest ally, what role did you play in this farce?" Zhang Cheng said, glancing at the male demon not far away.

He had a feeling that this guy was probably involved in this whole thing.

"Hahahaha! Welcome to Hell, my friend. If you don't mind, could you do me a small favor and take care of this female demon next to me? After I've dealt with her, I'll explain to you what's going on." Borun laughed and put on a warm and welcoming demeanor.

Having witnessed the earth-shattering battle in the Fragment World firsthand, no one knew better than him just how terrifying this seemingly harmless young wizard was.

Summon the dragon!

Unleash powerful magic!

They can even transform into powerful demons filled with evil, chaos, tyranny, and slaughter!

Especially the spell that detonated the entire fragmented world at the end—even in Hell, few great demon lords could accomplish that.

"You really betrayed me!" Nisa, sensing that something was wrong, immediately showed a wary expression.

The shameless Boruen extended a finger and shook it lightly: "Betrayal? No, no, no, when did I ever swear allegiance to you? Since there was no oath of allegiance, how can there be betrayal? For the sake of our past close relationship, I'll give you a little piece of advice for free: don't resist. Believe me, Zhang is not an enemy you can deal with. Besides, he has a bit of a temper, and if you resist, you may suffer a lot of extra pain."

"Hmph! Don't talk big too soon! Do you think I'm completely unprepared? Lord Sabian! Come out!" Nissa clapped her hands twice with a cold laugh.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a demon with a dragon-like head, claws, tail, and wings, but an unusually large body, calmly emerged from the darkness.

It was so enormous that the entire fortress trembled slightly with every step it took, and it carried a giant axe burning with raging flames.

Nisa stepped closer to Lord Sabian, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and asked in a mocking tone, "So? Do you still think you have the victory in your grasp?"

“Isn’t it obvious, my dear? No matter what you do, you can’t reverse the inevitable defeat.” Borun casually pulled out a black stone and began to pretend to polish his horns.

His provocative actions undoubtedly enraged his opponent, Sabian, who, without uttering a word, simply swung his enormous axe, intending to chop him into mincemeat.

But just as the axe was raised, before it could fall!

Zhang Cheng suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped!

moment!

A gigantic white hand, made entirely of energy, descended from the sky and slammed down on the massive demon lord, pinning him beneath it. No matter how much he struggled and roared, it was all in vain.

“See? Just like I said, you never had a single chance of winning. I admit, Sabian, with his dragon blood, is the most powerful demon on this desolate land, but it depends on who he's compared to. Unfortunately, in front of my close ally, he's as fragile and powerless as an infant. Now kneel down, swear eternal loyalty to me, and I guarantee you'll live.” Borun offered a choice with feigned generosity.

But Nisa ignored him and instead narrowed her eyes, asking Zhang Cheng, who had remained standing still, "Who exactly are you? A spellcaster as powerful as you shouldn't be unknown."

“Madam, a name is just a label; it doesn’t matter at all. What truly matters is the choice you make next. Do you know why Borun became my ally? Because he betrayed Hell! Now tell me, are you willing to do the same? Just nod and sign a magical contract, and I guarantee you will become one of them.”

As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng turned around and gave a meaningful glance to Boruen, whose face was extremely ugly.

He wasn't a fool; he knew this cunning and treacherous devil was using him, so he planned to teach him a lesson he would never forget, making him deeply understand that some boundaries, once crossed, must come at a price...

Chapter 577 Creating the Legion (Part 1)

Without a doubt, loyalty and integrity have never had anything to do with evil.

They never hesitate to betray Hell and the demons they serve, as long as the price is right.

The problem is, Nisa has no idea who this young human is, what kind of power he possesses, or what he desires.

This complete lack of knowledge filled her with a deep-seated unease and fear.

However, when she caught a glimpse of Borun's extremely ugly expression out of the corner of her eye, she finally knelt down and replied in the language unique to demons, "I am willing! It is my honor to be your ally."

“A wise choice! Now we need to sign a truly effective contract, and I believe you understand what I mean.” Zhang Cheng curled his lips into a smile that sent chills down the spines of the two demons in the hall.

With his current vast knowledge of magic, he is already able to figure out the secrets hidden behind the so-called "demon contract".

In fact, these magical texts, written by the great demons or even the demon kings themselves, do not immediately appear in the creator's mind after being signed.

On the contrary, the contents of the contract are sent to a completely secret place and hidden by magic. It will only be known to the demon responsible for overseeing the execution of the contract if one of the signatories breaches it, so that appropriate action can be taken to ensure that the breacher is punished.

This is why, even in the council, many lords and members of parliament use the Demon Contract.

“Of course! But before that, I need to know who you are and what you want from me.” Nisa raised her head and stared at her with unwavering eyes.

“Fair enough! My name is Zhang Cheng, a true spellcaster. As for what I want from you, it's to conquer the entire hell.” Zhang Cheng spread his arms wide, making no attempt to hide his arrogant ambition.

He had even planned that the next time he returned to Azeroth, he would go to the shattered Draenor to talk to Illidan Stormrage and see if he could join the other party's so-called decapitation plan and enter Argus, one of the legendary strongholds of the Burning Legion demons.

But he wasn't going to save the world by collecting endless demon souls and fel energy to create his own legion of destruction, and incidentally experience the terrifying power of the Pantheon Titans.

"Conquer...conquer Hell?!?" Nissa was completely stunned!

Zhang Cheng chuckled and nodded: "That's right! Don't you think that since that earth-shattering war in ancient times, both Hell and Heaven have been weakened beyond recognition, and decay and cowardice permeate these two once powerful worlds? They need change! They need the stimulation of blood and death!"

"Madman! You're insane! The supreme demon lords will not stand idly by while anyone challenges their authority!" Sabien, who was pinned to the ground by the giant energy hand, began to roar madly.

"Mad? No! I'm just stating the facts. Besides, I think your strong body seems like a good test subject; perhaps we could try some interesting modifications. For example... injecting a little fel energy..."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Zhang Cheng bent down and gently traced a line on the target's skin, which was covered in red scales, with his finger.

moment!

The glaring blood gushed out like a spring!

Then the enormous heart hidden deep within the muscles was completely exposed, pounding violently.

"Ahhhhhhh! You bastard! I'm going to kill you! You despicable human!"

The intense pain from the wound drove the enormous demon to a frenzy of cursing, while it twisted its body desperately, seemingly trying to break free of control.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were futile against the enormous energy hand; he couldn't even turn over.

"Relax! Trust me, the pain is temporary, and you will soon be reborn." As Zhang Cheng spoke, he activated the Eredar demon sealed in his eyes, injecting a surge of fel energy into his heart.

next second...

boom!

Sabian's entire body seemed to have been stimulated by something, and suddenly exploded without warning!

Just as the other two demons thought he had been killed, a ball of green energy rose up and began to regenerate his body at a visible speed.

In less than two or three minutes, tentacles made of flesh and blood began to repair the severely damaged body.

Moreover, during the repair process, the green evil energy penetrates into every cell, every inch of muscle, and every capillary.

When Sabian came back to life, he looked almost exactly like the Abyss Lord, with his eyes emitting a terrifying green light.

Sensing the evil, frenzied, chaotic, and bloodthirsty broken soul within his body, Zhang Cheng took out the last bit of the mad blood that Katagaz had given him and injected it all into the heart that was beating stronger and stronger, while also incorporating a trace of creative power.

boom!!

Centered on Isabien, the area within a radius of several dozen meters was engulfed by a sudden burst of green fel energy, burning everything, including the stone pillars, to ashes!

As for him, a ball of fire, symbolizing evil power, suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Admiring the monster he had created, Zhang Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "For a being born for war, it's quite good. Now kneel down and pay your respects to your master and creator."

"Master...Master..."

The monster, born from the body of a massive demon, immediately obeyed the command and responded in a language it did not speak fluently.

Due to the rampant influx and corruption of fel energy, Sabian's soul had long since vanished, replaced by a new consciousness awakened by the power of creation. Coupled with the mad blood of the Abyss Lord, his only desire now is to destroy and kill under his master's control.

"Oh—damn it! What did you do to him?"

Nisa, who had watched the whole scene from beginning to end, finally couldn't help but tremble slightly, her beautiful face filled with shock and fear.

“It’s very simple! I’m creating my own legion! So? Do you now doubt that I’m crazy?” Zhang Cheng turned around and asked meaningfully.

The female demon hurriedly shook her head frantically: "No! I think we should sign a contract right away! But on the condition that you never turn me into a monster like this!"

"Don't worry, you and Borun are both legion commanders personally selected by me. I need your wisdom more than strength. Besides, I don't want to incur the hostility of the entire Hell forces right now, and your demon identities can serve as a good cover. In return, I will support you in waging war to expand your territory and become truly powerful demon lords, instead of rotting away on this barren land."

"As you wish..."

Chapter 578 Creating the Legion (Part 2)

Absolutely no surprises!

After witnessing firsthand the terrifying power Zhang Cheng possessed, Nisa did not hesitate to completely submit and ordered hundreds of her subordinates to be summoned into the castle one by one for a horrific transformation.

In just two or three days, this group of scum, who were originally just cannon fodder, were transformed into a brutal and bloodthirsty army.

If it weren't for the fact that it takes a considerable amount of time for souls that have fallen into hell to transform into demons, this army would be even larger.

Standing on the second-floor balcony, Nisa looked down at the formerly timid and cowardly people below, then turned to the young human beside her and asked, "Your army is ready! When do you plan to set out?"

"My army?" Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "No, my dear, this is your army. Now take them and conquer this desolate land."

"Me?" A strange glint flashed in the female demon's eyes as she subconsciously glanced at Borun not far away.

She could hardly believe that such a good thing would happen to her, a "newcomer".

Shouldn't it normally be handed over to another guy who was allied earlier?

Zhang Cheng noticed the other party's puzzled reaction and explained with a half-smile, "This is to avoid being exposed too early. After all, you are the lord of this region and are well known to many demons. Even if you suddenly rise to power, it won't arouse too much suspicion. But Boruen is different. He once participated in an unusual little game and failed, so any conspicuous move he makes will be noticed immediately."

“Games? Boruun, you’ve never told me what games I’ve ever played,” Nisa teased meaningfully.

"Everyone has their own secrets. Believe me, it's better if you don't know." Boruen rejected the other party's probing with a blank expression.

He wasn't an idiot; he had already realized that his "ally" was retaliating against his unauthorized transgressions in another way.

Unfortunately, he had absolutely no way to deal with this except to endure it.

"Alright! Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't pry into your little secret." Nisa shrugged casually, turned around, and lightly drew circles on Zhang Cheng's chest with her finger. "I'm going to war. Do you have anything to say?"

"There's nothing much to say. I'll be here waiting for your triumphant return. Oh, and by the way, try to bring back as many prisoners as possible. I'll use them to strengthen the army and make you a true queen," Zhang Cheng reminded him with a playful expression.

Through these two days of observation, he suddenly realized that controlling two demons at the same time was far better than putting all his eggs in one basket and betting everything on one demon.

Because demons are treacherous and treacherous creatures who love betrayal, when they are alone, they will desperately try to break free from the control and restraint imposed upon them.

But if there are two of them, they will start to suspect each other, be hostile, betray each other, and fight, like two dogs tearing each other apart to please their master.

Before one side falls, they will never easily commit even the slightest act of betrayal, lest they lose their master's favor before defeating their opponent.

It must be said that this way of thinking and behaving is very strange, but also very interesting.
