Lake Niming, close to the Obscure Mountains, is adjacent to the Kaya Jungle on the right.

Geographically, Niming Lake is inconspicuous, but this small lake has attracted almost half of the demons of the third layer of the abyss, and it has even been listed as a forbidden place by wizards.

Because, the legendary castle of Castlevania, La Soudran, is located on a small island in the middle of Lake Nimmin.

To be precise, La Soudran's location is not on an island, the island only provides the spatial coordinates to enter it, and its location is in an unknown void.

At this moment, ripples rippled in the waters of Lake Niming.

A blue-skinned shadow walked gracefully in the lake like a swimming fish, and finally, it came to the island in the middle of the lake.

Aside from its light blue skin, it looks somewhat human, but it has no ears, and its ears are positioned in two curved corners that arc downward, and from this sign, it is known that it is actually a half-blood demon.

Prapa, is its name. In the Demon Language, it represents the nameless weed. Small and humble, but full of vitality.

In the entire third layer of the abyss, Prapa also belongs to the humble category, whether in terms of strength or bloodline, it is at the bottom.

After all, in addition to half of its bloodline, half of it is the aborigines, and the other half is the little XCOM imp.

The XCOM Imp is a demon with a very low lower limit and a high upper limit.

It is recognized that the lower limit is very low, and many XCOM little devils can only stay at the bottom of the demon clan for the rest of their lives, and even some half-blood demons are born more powerful than XCOM little demons. From this, it can be seen how weak the existence of the XCOM little devil is.

As for the high ceiling, this is a title given to himself by the little demon of UFO, and no demon acknowledges it. There is a story among the clan of XCOM Devils that in the Cold Ancient Period, there was a XCOM Demon Lord who was not weaker than the Demon God.

It's because of this story that the XCOM imps feel that their ceiling is high.

But this story is difficult to study, after all, the Han Gu period is an era 100,000 years ago. No one outside had heard of them except them.

Prapa is a very self-aware half-blood demon, although he knows this story, but he does not believe that it is true, like his own father, he actually thinks that this story is most likely made up by the ancestors of the XCOM little devil out of self-esteem.

Because, in addition to the powerful "distant ancestor" in the story, the strongest person recorded so far has only one ancestor who has good luck, and he can climb to the bottom of the middle-level demon.

If the upper limit is high, how could there be only this one mid-level demon.

After Prapa recognized the facts, it had been a long time since he had dreamed of becoming stronger. It thinks that it is enough to live its own life, and it is best to be with its father and mother without separation.

However, this small request eventually came to naught.

Its parents, just a year ago, were killed by humans.

After Prapa got the news, he lost his mind for more than half a year. XCOM Imps are different from other demon clans in that they suffer from cynicism, so they tend to live in isolation, and even if they are partners with the Abyssal Natives, they have never abandoned them.

Its parents love each other and raise it very carefully.

For safety, they even moved away from the center of the demon clan to an extremely remote place. I usually see humans, and I hide from afar.

lived cautiously like this, and still did not escape the disaster.

Prapa hated the humans who killed their parents, and it wanted revenge on them, but it couldn't. As a weak half-blood demon, it is probably equivalent to a wizard apprentice among humans, and humans have all kinds of wonderful weapons and props, and no one can defeat them.

It was also at this time that Prapa began to understand the importance of personal strength.

It began to think about improving itself, but the information left for it in the bloodline was not a quick way to improve itself. The only thing is to refine oneself, but this method can't even refine the real UFO little devil, as a Prapa, who is only half of the demon bloodline, don't even think about improving it.

It experimented for months with no results. So, with a hatred for humanity and a strong desire to improve itself, it came to La Soudran.

Rumor has it that La Soudran has everything you could want.

This is the third month of Prapa's arrival at Rasudrán, and during this time, almost all of its mind is focused on Rasudrán, earning demon coins. Only when he is tired, he will leave La Sudlan and go to the bottom of Lake Nimin, where he will quietly recover his strength under the gentle soothing water.

Now, after resting, Prapa is back on the island in the middle of the lake.

Its eyes are determined, and for the sake of its own goals, it cannot relax. Even if...... At the bottom of its heart, there are actually doubts, can it really become stronger, can it really avenge its parents?

The island in the middle of the lake is not large, and there is no grass on it, only a few small undulating cols.

Prapa manipulated the water of the lake and changed into a lake-green suit for himself. This kind of dressing behavior is actually rare among demons, but some powerful demons have their own dress, and middle and low-level demons follow suit, and it has become a trend for a while. However, it is only in Castlevania that they put on their clothes, and it seems that with a dress that represents civilization, they can restrain their uncivilized barbarism.

Prapa's dressing behavior is not to follow the fashion, but purely to teach his mother.

After getting dressed, Prapa came to a small col not far away.

As it walked, ripples like water ripples suddenly appeared in front of it, and in the next second, it passed through the water ripples and came to an endless void.

In the midst of the dark void, there is a floating island city.

At the highest point of the city, at the top of a terrifying tower, there is a brilliant ball of light that illuminates the entire city, making it a city that never sleeps!

This is the great, never-degrading Void Castlevania!

As soon as Prapa enters, it's on the edge of the island.

Looking down from the edge of the island, you can see a dark whirlpool in the void below, and near the whirlpool, there are a large number of strangely shaped demons, flying around.

La Soudran is not just an Castlevania, it's also a hub to the depths of the Abyss.

The dark vortex below is connected to the inner layer of the abyss.

At this moment, a demon that pierced through the whirlpool below landed steadily on the Void Island, just near Prapa.

This is a demon that is more than three meters tall and has hideous bone wings on its back.

When it landed, it spotted Prapa, huddled behind a large rock not far away, a hint of cruelty flashed in its bloodthirsty eyes, and in Prapa's frightened expression, it stretched out its finger and flicked it.

A dark light rushed towards Prapa.

Before it could react, the big stone in front of it exploded into pieces, and it itself was rushed into the air by this force, and finally fell to the ground fiercely, and was embarrassed.

The Bonewing Demon laughed a few times, and Prapa's decay apparently pleased it, and instead of striking again, it left behind a "miscellaneous" and flew into La Sudran.

Prapa trembled, his eyes filled with anger, sadness, and self-doubt.

In Castlevania, where there are no rules to speak of, as long as it doesn't disrupt the order on the surface, even if the Bone Wing Demon kills it, no one will say anything.

Prapa licked the wound alone, and after a long time it slowly got to its feet and limped into La Sudran.

His mother once told him that if he wants to become strong, he must go through setbacks, which is a necessary process of growth.

Although it understands that this is just a beautiful word of comfort, what can it do now besides self-persuasion?

......

The structure of the city of La Soudland is very different from that of the aboriginal people, and the minimum gate here is more than three meters. Even the gate is so high, which shows how big the building itself is. In a trance, it was like entering the city of giants.

Despite the huge buildings, most of the demons walking on the streets are actually similar to Prapa. These huge gates were not prepared for them themselves, they were basically set up for people such as the previous Bone Wing Demons, or higher-level Archdemons.

In many cases, the door of a building can tell the customers that the store is facing.

Like, the huge fortress that can be seen here for miles is actually a shop, but at that scale, even trolls can entertain it. I belong to the highest-end store.

For example, the right-hand side of Prapa.

In the shade of a grove, there is a low wooden house, not to mention the outermost part of the city of La Soudran, and the small door of the wooden house is less than two meters, you can see that the customers of this wooden house are probably low-end customers.

To be honest, even Prapa himself felt that the two-meter door was too small, and it could reach his head with a little footing.

And the eaves of the wooden house looked very low, and it was so cramped that it was difficult to breathe when you entered.

If it weren't for the sign of a shop above the door, Prapa wouldn't even think it was a shop.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Prapa's eyes flashed with doubt: "When did this little cabin be set up here? When I left the day before yesterday, it seemed to be an open space?"

Could it have only been opened in the past two days?

Prapa looked at the sign of the store suspiciously, only to see that it was written in a terrible font, and a row of demonic words was written.

Psychedelic.

It doesn't sound like a serious shop.

Prapa continued on his way to the place where he usually helped, a prey house run by a half-blood demon.

The door is four metres high, which is normal for all the shops in La Soudran.

Its job, in fact, is very simple, is to clean the prey hunted by the owner.

The reason why Prapa was able to come here to help, in addition to the effect of "preserving freshness and flavor" of the UFO water released by it, was mostly because of the mercy of the owner.

Speaking of which, the pavilion owner seems to have a powerful fire-type demon bloodline. When I first met the owner, Prapa was still a little scared because of his natural restraint.

Who would have thought that the reason why it could survive in La Sudran was thanks to the disgusting and kind owner.

"You're here? Today's prey is in the warehouse at the back of the showroom, and when you're done, remember to put them out. It was a tall, fiery man with a hideous face who showed his exaggerated abs.

It's the owner of the game house, Night.
