"This is definitely the right place!"
Taking a deep breath, Elric noticed the smell of sulphur around seemed to be particularly concentrated in this area
Just this alone was enough to let Elric let know the specialness of this place
however, even with that Elric didn't feel the slightest bit of nervousness about the dangers he could encounter upon entering such a death-ridden place
Rather, he was uncharacteristically excited imagining the number of treasures and gains he could fun here
Especially since the abyss gate is almost ready to be used, Elric has already made a plan b in case he encounters any danger
And unsurprisingly, Elric's backup plan was run!
No not running away, rather Elric felt it was more of a tactical retreat
Yes taking any treasure or gains he might have collected, Elric already set it so he could quickly jump through the abyss gate preserving its gains
However, although he made all these preparations, Elric hoped he wouldn't have any need to use it.
Unfortunately considering what he did minutes ago, Elric knew his trips to Death Valley might go anything from what he had plans for
Thinking back to what happened, Elric couldn't help but give a tired sigh.
Back then after taking control of his main body, Elric unknowingly absorbed the heart demon's existence
And with that happening, along with its memories, Elric's body felt completely refreshed
It seemed like the level of his spirit had been upgraded a notch making his whole body seem lighter
Remembering this now, a glint of dangerous light flashed through his eyes, along with an array of ferocious intentions hidden behind his
Feeling his changes, Elric couldn't help but wish he could kill the heat demon a few more times.
Unfortunately at this moment that was currently impossible
However, in the near future, that might not remain the same.
Thinking of this now, Elric had a slight smile on his face, sadly he couldn't reminisce much as his time was almost up.
Back then, after calming down from the side effects of killing the heart demon, Elric noticed that a few demons hadn't been killed yet
Still charging toward him with fearless eyes, completely ignorant of their surrounding dead comrades
Elric at that moment even wanted to praise them for a bit, after all, charging Knowingly to your deaths is certainly not an easy task
However, it seemed that all abyss demons had such a rare quality as even during all his time fighting them
Elric had never once seen any of them back down due to fear, truly a fearless and chaotic race.
Shaking his head, Elric couldn't help but sigh thanking the will of Elias he wasn't born as an abyss demon
If that had happened, Elric imagined at this moment his sanity might have been hanging on its last threads
Killing, fighting, betrayal, war, hunger, and so many more gruesome things
However, Imaging himself living in a world where all those factors are an everyday factor, Elric was completely sure he would have run wild after a while
Thankfully that wasn't the case, as Elric luckily reincarnated as a human and not only that has become a powerful one at that.
And even at that Elric was also quite glad for their fearless and greedy nature, after all, that would be the main factor determining the success of his plan.
Remembering the plan, Elric couldn't help but sigh hoping that it worked, and the aftermath of it working
Obviously what Elric planned wasn't a small thing, rather it was one that even he had to be careful for
After all, what he did was something that might once again trigger a war throughout the abyss
Elric intentionally let a Demon escape telling him that he found the blood ruby in death valley and he was going to take it back
Although such an announcement sounds like pure nonsense, but considering the characteristics of abyss demons Elric was sure they would make it.
And as for why he did that, after watching through the abyss demons memory from the heart demon
Elric had a hunch where the blood ruby might have gone too, however in order not to get injured along the way Elric needed some help
And what better help than millions of cannon fodder abyss demons to lead the way
Thinking of this, Elric couldn't help but sigh as he looked far toward the depths of Death Valley
"However before they come I need to make some preparations"
Saying this, Elric put a hand on his chin and began to think
"I'll need to make some changes here!"
"Move that here!"
"Create that here!"
Pointing to different parts of the place, Elric began to visualise the changes he would change and what to add
Making it so that no matter where and how many of them came, they as cannon fodder would never escape from the palm of his hand.
Just thinking of it, Elric couldn't help but feel excited
The feeling of using all beings as pawns, a certain kind of excitement filled Elric's heart
Not the excitement from discovering new, nor from the discovery of gaining a new power
But a new kind off feeling he had never forgotten before
"Could it be the excitement that comes with domination?"
Thinking of those passionate generals, emperors, and warlords he had read back in novels in the blue start
Elric felt like he could finally understand how they felt
Realising this, Elric couldn't wait to welcome his pawns to the battlefield and see how his plans played out
After all, this was the first time that so many people had been counted together for his plan.
Hopefully, everything thing would succeed, however, before that there was one thing Elric needed to do
And that was to complete his arrangements here on the entrances of death valley
However, taking a look once again at how huge the valley was, Elric unknowingly had a headache trying to figure out where to start.
"Hey Ava, want to help?"
Turning to look at Ava, Elric had a smile on his face.
