Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm sorry, but I am not a demon. I am a being that is even higher than gods and demons. Therefore, racial issues such as gods and demons are just boring pastimes for me. Under my command, there is no distinction between races."
Raville covered her mouth. Under Levi's powerful pressure, she couldn't muster any will to resist. Demons are beings who respect the strong; whoever is the strongest is the leader.
In the demon worldview, the most powerful and well-equipped are the Demon Kings. Morality, friendship, and love are all built upon overwhelming strength; without power, all beautiful emotions are meaningless.
It was precisely because of this belief in strength that when Li Wei revealed only the tip of the iceberg of his true power, these demons from the Demon Realm realized just how terrifying the powerful figure standing behind them truly was.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Strictly speaking, I am human, so it makes sense for me to spread my extraordinary powers to ordinary people. Besides, who can stop me from doing what I want?"
Li Wei spoke these words with a smile, but they were full of domineering power, and no one dared to refute him.
Yubeluna was the first to bow her head and say, "Our mission is our master's will. No matter what our master's purpose is, we will fight for it."
Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. The seemingly aloof and mature Yubeluna was the most pragmatic of them all. However, considering that she had climbed to her previous position step by step through her own efforts, it was not surprising that she reacted faster than the others.
Li Wei said, "If you follow me, you must abide by my rules. I treat my subordinates equally. You are currently in the assessment period. If you can pass my assessment, I can let you enter my world. But if you fail the assessment, I will not take your lives. Go back to where you came from."
Levi's words sent chills down everyone's spines, except for Revel. If everyone were to return to where they came from, none of them would escape unscathed, but she was, after all, a member of the Felix family.
As long as the Felix family is not destroyed in the Demon Realm, even if she fails Li Wei's test, she will still have a place to return to. At least in this respect, she is luckier than her current companions.
Li Wei said, "Next, I will teach you some basic knowledge of Eastern mysticism. You will serve as my teaching assistants and help me educate my students. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the startled female demons replied hastily.
........................
At this time, strange and abnormal weather appeared in Maret, a giant city in the Demon Realm belonging to the noble family of Leragin.
The demons on the ground looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were pressing down abnormally. At the same time, a massive and terrifying magical fluctuation was gradually approaching them.
"Enemy attack! Activate the teleportation array and call for reinforcements!"
The piercing alarm echoed through the city. The inhabitants of the demon realm were now aware of the invasion of the demon realm by demons from another world, so they set aside two days each week for escape training. In the event of a giant demon attacking the city, ordinary lower-ranking demons would be teleported to other cities immediately via teleportation arrays. At the same time, reinforcements from other cities would also arrive at the scene as quickly as possible via teleportation arrays.
Inside the city lord's mansion, located in the heart of the city, Aphis Leragin, the leader of the Leragin family, took out a pair of nunchucks from his robe. These nunchucks were the divine artifacts he had received from the four demon kings. They could amplify his melee abilities, and also came with various buffs, as well as defensive penetration capabilities, making them a truly versatile artifact.
Aphis addressed his family members, "This city is our stronghold. Anyone can escape, but we can't. I've already sent a request for reinforcements to His Majesty the Demon King, and His Majesty Sajax is already on his way with a large army. What we need to do is buy ourselves a few minutes! Do you all understand?"
Chapter 1. The True Demon
The four Demon Kings are stationed in the capital of the Demon Realm, where a large number of elite troops are stationed. It is also the place with the most abundant ley line power. From here, even a large-scale army can reach the most remote city in the Demon Realm within minutes. The city that the Lerakin family wants to go to is not considered remote. If the whole family goes there, it will only take two minutes at the fastest.
Of course, for the sake of the capital's security, the four demon kings must ensure that two of them are stationed in the capital under all circumstances.
Sajax and Achuka watched as the massive elite demon army rushed into the teleportation array, transforming into beams of light that shot into the sky.
Both demon kings are powerful beings, so they don't need to compete with the demon soldiers for teleportation arrays. They can quickly teleport themselves to the battlefield using their own abilities. If they were to compete for teleportation arrays, it would affect the teleportation efficiency of the demon soldiers.
Achuka said with a serious expression, "I didn't expect those guys to get so restless so soon after that lord left. What a nuisance."
A red teleportation array had appeared beneath Sajax's feet, enveloping both him and Achuka.
Sajax said, "For now, all we can do is defend passively. With our current strength, it's too difficult to wipe them out in the wild. After all, their strength is simply too exaggerated. Even dragons would become their food if they encountered them."
Achuka said, "I have received news that many dragon-type demons residing in the Demon Realm have mysteriously disappeared recently. According to the investigation by relevant personnel, it is very likely that they were devoured by those monsters."
The two figures were completely engulfed by the red light.
When Sajax and Achuka emerged from the teleportation array, they were met with a scene resembling the end of the world.
Achuka looked at the gradually lowering clouds and said with a solemn expression, "This guy?! According to the information provided by that lord, this bastard has no specific form and usually appears as mist. His mist will devour any living thing it covers. We have to stop him."
Sajax's expression wasn't good either. He muttered, "The Gray Mist Demon Yuktor, compared to us, they are the real demons. What I hate most are enemies without a specific form..."
The slowly descending clouds generated a powerful suction force, and the lower-level demons that couldn't move in time were all swept up into the sky and disappeared into the mist, like garbage being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner.
This scene caused panic among the lower-ranking demons on the ground. The lower-ranking demons, who were already lacking in combat power, no longer even had the courage to stand up. The sky, which was originally a paradise for them, was now going to take their lives.
Demons are far more mobile than ordinary humans. Even if they can't fly, they can still run at speeds comparable to cars on the ground. Although some unfortunate lower-ranking demons were pulled into the sky, many more survived. With the assistance of the security forces, they quickly rushed into the temporarily activated teleportation arrays and disappeared in streaks of light.
Sajax saw that the troops had almost assembled and knew it was time to make a move. If he delayed any longer, the city would suffer severe damage. Now was not the time to talk about family interests, but to consider the overall strength of the Demon Realm. It would not be in the overall interest of the Demon Realm if the Lerakin family suffered heavy losses here.
The members of the Leragin family are all specialized high-ranking demons who excel at ranged attacks. They mostly use self-made enchanted guns or bows as weapons. However, their patriarch obtained an artifact that can comprehensively enhance his melee abilities, which makes up for the Leragin family's weakness in combat.
The Gray Mist Demon Yukto has no physical form. Although its direct combat strength ranks last among the demon puppet clones, it is a killer of small fry. Enemies whose strength does not exceed a certain level will be directly teleported into the Soul-Sweeping Bell and refined into pills once they are entangled by the Gray Mist.
To resist this suction force, one must first be at least a demon in strength. As Yukto's strength increases, this suction force will gradually intensify, eventually becoming so strong that even high-ranking demons can be easily drawn in.
However, Yuktor is not without weaknesses. All his clouds are formed from condensed magic, so they are constantly consuming magic. Whether in offense or defense, he relies on the power core created by Levi. This demonic puppet clone, inspired by the Angels of EVA, has a similar weakness: once its core is destroyed, it will die completely.
Of course, it won't be easy for the demons of the native world to find Yukto's core, because Yukto's core is not directly connected to the gray mist outside the body, but is hidden in the misaligned space and connected to the outside world through some means. To directly attack his core, unless one's spatial manipulation ability is no weaker than Levi's main body, one can only fight a war of attrition with Yukto.
Numerous long-range bombardments struck the gray fog, which, imbued with magical energy, was either dispersed or neutralized by the continuous attacks, causing it to dissipate further.
Sajax had also prepared for the artillery barrage, but he wasn't alone. Instead, a large number of elite demon soldiers had constructed a magic circle, pre-loaded with a large amount of magic power, and then he filled it with his own destructive magic power, using the dual magic power to achieve a qualitative change.
The man-made magic cannon unleashed a devastating force, and the massive red beam directly struck the gray mist demon Yukto. Although the attack did not harm its core, it did shatter the gray mist that had condensed around its body.
As an amorphous being, Yuktor's entire body is composed of magical energy. If its magical energy is destroyed or eliminated, exceeding the threshold it can withstand, it will expose its core.
The reason why Yukto is the weakest of all the demon puppet clones is because its defense is the lowest among all the puppet clones. Pure magical gray mist can be worn down by various kinds of attacks.
In other words, there's no need to pursue ultimate penetration ability. As long as there are enough attacks, even if most of the attacks aren't very destructive, as long as they can deplete Yuktor's magic power, you can overwhelm it with sheer numbers.
After piercing through the gray fog, the enormous red beam of light turned back and exploded high in the sky, splitting into numerous relatively thin red beams that fell downwards at an increasingly rapid speed, once again plunging into the vast gray fog.
Chapter 1. Engagement
The red beams of light fell like rain, instantly riddling the massive gray fog with holes. But the fog seemed to have a life of its own; the moment it was dispersed, it began to converge back to the wounds, and the damage from the rain of beams was healed in just a few seconds.
The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war from the start. With the support of numerous demon soldiers, Sajax unleashed his full power from the outset. His magical power was more than ten times that of his predecessor, Lucifer, and this immense power also meant that his magical regeneration rate was extraordinary. Such a full-scale attack caused him almost no significant depletion, allowing him to fire in a perpetual motion machine-like manner, making him a true "infinite firepower."
However, the demon puppet clones created by Levi were not so easy to deal with. Although Yukto had defensive flaws, these flaws were also its strengths.
The gray fog had completely enveloped the city. Some of the demons who couldn't dodge in time had disappeared into the mist, and no further sound could be heard. Apart from the booming of the magical cannon fire, the entire city was deathly silent.
Achuka, standing next to Sajax, suddenly turned pale and said, "The patriarch of the Leragin family, the inheritor of the divine artifact, sacrificed himself to protect his family."
Achuka severed his spellcasting, and with his outstretched hand, silver nunchucks appeared in his palm, hovering in mid-air.
Achuka said, "This is our war against demons from another world. The first high-ranking demon to sacrifice himself. I will remember this blood debt."
The spellcaster, Sajax, remained composed and said, "I will return this artifact to the Leragin family later so they can train a new generation of artifact wielders. For now, that's all we can do. The Bayeri and Felix families have arrived as reinforcements, and the Butis family has also come. Good, with reinforcements, we can at least stop it here. Perhaps, we can try to destroy it."
Achuka said, "I dare not be so optimistic. Although that person said that Yukto is the weakest of the escaped demons, its ability to suppress is the strongest among all demons. Anyone whose strength is inferior to itss will be suppressed when facing it, and they will not even be able to find its weakness."
More and more reinforcements arrived on the battlefield. At this time, the Demon Realm's interconnected teleportation system proved its importance, and within a very short period of time, a demon army of hundreds of thousands of people was assembled.
Faced with an army of hundreds of thousands of demons, plus the magical bombardment of the two demon kings, the gray mist around Yukto's body became thinner and thinner. The demons with good eyesight could already see the outline of a huge humanoid figure in the mist. All the native demons aimed at this outline and began to unleash their firepower.
A muffled, eerie roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and Yukto's hoarse voice said, "You lowly insects, I will return! Right now, you've only escaped with your lives!"
The gray fog dissipated instantly, rushing into the gloomy sky and disappearing without a trace.
Sajax looked at the city, which had been ravaged by the gray fog, his face grave. This time, the native demons had not gained any advantage. Although they had repelled the enemy, they had not damaged their core. This meant that the enemy could launch a new attack in any place at any time if they wanted, and they were still the ones on the defensive.
Sajax said to Achuka beside him, "Achuka, I'll have to trouble you to have someone tally up the casualties later. I'm not good at this kind of data work."
Achuka nodded and said, "Leave this to me. Let everyone rest here first, and at the same time, take advantage of the terrain to set up a magic circle. That gray mist can assimilate and corrode magic power. The city's shield will be breached in a very short time. This matter must be taken seriously."
Achuka has already prepared for the research. The information they have about the ten monsters currently roaming the Demon Realm is still too limited. Although Li Wei revealed some of the monsters' abilities to them before leaving the Demon Realm, this revelation was somewhat reserved. He only mentioned their general abilities to prevent them from being "killed on their first encounter." However, they would have to figure out how to counter those monsters' abilities on their own.
Achuka had no complaints about Li Wei's half-hearted approach; in fact, he was quite satisfied with the level of intelligence he had obtained.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·
After obtaining the information on the Gray Mist Demon Yukto, Achuka studied it carefully. Although Levi said that this demon was the weakest of the demons, Achuka felt that this only applied to strong people like Levi. To them, no matter which otherworldly demon it was, it possessed the power to destroy a city single-handedly.
Fortunately, after learning from the lesson of Abydas's attack, the cities in the Demon Realm have taken disaster relief drills very seriously. Every week, they will set aside two days to practice. In this attack, the demon civilians showed quite good escape ability. Although there were still some casualties, the number of casualties was much smaller compared to the first attack.
...
However, this time, the Leragin family lost its patriarch, which is a significant loss for the Demon Realm. After all, while the Leragin family patriarch's strength couldn't compare to that of a Demon King, he was still far stronger than most high-ranking demons. By classification, he was a Demon King-level expert. Yet, even such an expert fell at the hands of Yukto.
Achuka sighed inwardly. The Demon Realm was currently in a precarious state, and even its opening to the human world had entered a phase of contraction. Before the hidden dangers within the Demon Realm were resolved, it was impossible for the Demon Realm to mobilize too many people to expand its interests in the human world; at most, it could only maintain the existing situation.
As Sajax's orders were relayed, the massive demon legion began to rest and regroup on the spot. This was to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack and catching the army off guard. To fight against such a mobile calamity, a large army was necessary to maintain balance; otherwise, they would easily be defeated one by one.
Sajax took the Leragin family's artifact from Achuka, lowered his altitude, and arrived at the open space in front of the Leragin family's dilapidated mansion. At this time, the Leragin family members were busy treating their injuries. When they saw Sajax, they quickly stood up.
"Your Majesty Sajax!" The young master of the Leragin family, a green-haired boy who looked to be about ten years old, stepped forward and looked at Sajax with admiration and respect.
Chapter 1. Alchemy
The handsome young man with green hair was somewhat excited when he saw Sajax, but his expression fell when he thought of his father and people who had sacrificed their lives in this battle.
Sajax placed the nunchucks in his hand in front of the green boy, who accepted the magical weapon.
Sajax said, "Your father is a hero who protected his family and the city. I've remembered that, and that guy will pay for his actions sooner or later."
The green-haired boy looked at the nunchucks in his hand, his expression somewhat ferocious. But that was normal; no one could remain completely calm in this situation.
The green-haired youth raised his head, looked at Sajax, and said, "Your Majesty Sajax, I will strive to become a qualified artifact wielder and will never allow such a tragedy to happen again!"
Sajax patted the green-haired boy on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up, become a powerful high-ranking demon like your father."
The young man nodded. Because of his father's death, he had grown up in an instant, knowing what he had to do next and the responsibilities he had to bear.
Sajax didn't say anything more. He knew he wasn't good at comforting others, so after saying what he needed to say and returning the artifact to the Leragin family, he left the Leragin family mansion and returned to the army camp.
Sajax's immense magical power is perfectly suited to power the magic array. Now that the city's outer shield has been breached and its underlying components are overloaded, repairing it in a short time will not be easy. Before the technical forces can complete the repairs, Sajax and Achuka must use their own strength to support the city's shield and prevent the enemy from launching a counterattack.
........................
At this moment, Li Wei had a small bell in his hand that looked like an inverted teacup. This small bell was the shrunken Soul-Soul Bell. Because its size had been shrunk to this extent, it looked like an exquisite toy.
Inside the Soul-Soul Bell, the demon being fused into it is currently being refined. Alchemy and weapon crafting are similar in many ways. With mastery of all methods, Li Wei encountered no obstacles in his transition from weapon crafting to alchemy.
