Chapter 35 The Next Target

Originally, Livi's target was Dullahan, the demon general from the north, but now the situation has changed a little.

The battle with Dullahan made Livi realize her current problems, so she decided to deal with her own problems first and then go looking for trouble with Dullahan.

Fortunately, at least in terms of purpose, it has not deviated too much from the plan.

After all, Livy's original reason for defeating Dullahan was to make a name for herself and gain the status of Demon King, and the first step to becoming a Demon King was naturally to defeat the three Demon Generals.

Dullahan is the strongest demon general, but Star, the ruler of the southern territory, is also a demon general. Although his strength is not as good as Dullahan, he is definitely superior to other demons.

Defeating him would have the same effect as expected, and the battle with Dullahan could not be said to be completely without gain.

At least even though they didn't agree, at least they didn't lose. It was barely a draw. Now the record of both sides is one win and one draw.

Even Dullahan himself would never admit that he won that battle.

Therefore, there will inevitably be another battle between the two, and the result of this battle at this moment is enough to demonstrate its value.

So, there is naturally a reason for choosing Demon General Star as the next target this time.

The Demon General Star is a lich, a demon with powerful spellcasting abilities.

Moreover, as a lich, he is quite capable of hiding himself. He split the life box that contains his soul into pieces, and one of them has been hidden in the Demon Realm.

For a lich, the body is just a container, and the life box that holds the soul is the real body. As long as the life box is not destroyed, how the container is destroyed will not affect the lich itself.

He even prepared hundreds of replacement bodies for himself, so that he could switch into a spare body at any time and escape or move.

Therefore, when Star also invaded the main continent and was repelled by Livi, he also escaped with the help of his spare body and life box. Even though his strength is not as good as Dullahan, but relying on this unpredictable method of surviving, in a sense... he is a more difficult enemy to kill than Dullahan.

But for Livi, she is just a restrained opponent, because Livi now has mastered the Seal of Submission that works directly on the soul. Although Star does not take the body seriously, the soul is a very important entity to him.

Livi's Seal of Submission can act directly on the soul, which is equivalent to bypassing his physical body and attacking the main body.

Originally, Livi had no intention of letting any Demon General go, and Star would be dealt with sooner or later, so now was a good time to change the order of the attack.

As for Star, what Livi was attracted to was naturally his body transformation technology.

Livi is now limited by the physiological limits of a succubus and is unable to exert her full strength. She must find a way to break through this limit.

And Star's body transformation technology can just deal with this situation.

In short, it's still the same analogy as before. Livi needs to use Star's technology to free her from the locked level cap...

Of course, this is definitely not easy. After all, if it were that simple, Star himself would have used this technology to fly into space long ago. His hard power is not as good as Dullahan's, which means that if he only focuses on physical transformation, he will also run into a bottleneck.

So, can combining body transformation technology with one's own talents create a miracle?

To be honest, Livi wasn't very sure, but at least it was worth a try.

Therefore, she made up her mind that her next target... would be the ruler of the southern border of the Demon Realm, "Demon General" Sta.

At the same time, Dullahan also returned to the Demon King's City.

The demons in Demon King City had no doubt about the outcome of this battle. Dulahan had already decided to take action himself, so theoretically it would be an easy win.

Moreover, Dullahan was indeed back.

However, it seemed to have taken longer than expected.

"Lord Dullahan?"

However, Dullahan, who returned to the Demon King's Castle, seemed to be in a very bad mood. There was an unsettling aura around him, and those who were more observant saw the scar on Dullahan's side... left by the piercing of the magic suit.

Although Dullahan had tried very hard to use the power of the magic suit to repair the wound, there was still a strong magic power remaining in the wound, which was like a thorn in the flesh and constantly interfered with the healing of the wound.

Of course, Dullahan was not unfamiliar with this, because he had been injured by a similar force last time, which made him unable to recover for two years. Naturally, it was because of the hidden injuries left by the power of the brave Levi.

Now, he was injured in the same position. With the new injury plus the old injury, it is conservatively estimated that he will not be able to recover in a short time.

It was for this reason that Dullahan decided to leave and leave the victory to the next time.

However, this wound could no longer be hidden and was naturally seen by Dullahan's subordinates.

This naturally shocked them. After all, Demon General Dullahan... this demon who had lived for more than 150 years had hardly been injured since the moment he became a Demon General 50 years ago.

The only ones who can hurt him are the brave Levi and the other two demon generals, but they all have to pay a heavy price for doing so.

The other two demon generals could hurt Dulahan, but they had to be prepared to be killed by Dulahan on the spot. Only with the preparation to risk their lives could they hurt Dulahan.

That's all...

...Why was Dullahan injured? Does that succubus have the strength to rival the Demon General?

"what happened?"

Dullahan stopped and asked in a dull voice, which instantly frightened the demon who had just spoken.

"No, nothing. You, you have worked so hard on this triumphant expedition..."

"... Triumphant?"

Faced with this word, which was originally just a flattery, but accidentally hit Dullahan's sore spot, his tone became even heavier.

This attitude frightened the demons who were just trying to flatter him to death...

...What's going on? Could it be that Dullahan failed to defeat the succubus?

If this is true, it is quite shocking.

However, the fact is here. Regardless of whether the succubus is dead or alive, she did hurt Dullahan, and it seems that Dullahan did not kill her.

Dullahan didn't want to waste time talking to his subordinates because they wouldn't understand and he was too lazy to explain.

Dullahan didn't want to say much about the fact that Livi was the reincarnation of a hero. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to be defeated by the same person twice in a row.

However, if he didn't say it himself, his subordinates would have no choice but to guess.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became extremely subtle...

Well, today's third update~

Chapter 36: I’m alive today only because of my fighting ability!

The atmosphere at this moment obviously became a little subtle...

...Dulahan was too lazy to explain the situation to his subordinates, but it was a fact that he was injured, and his subordinates could not let themselves have wild thoughts.

But this is actually not a problem for Dullahan. No matter how these people think, as long as they stay at the "thinking" stage, it doesn't matter.

If they really intend to do something, then Dullahan will use his strength to make them clearly understand his position.

There was only one thing Dullahan had to do now, to heal his injuries as quickly as possible, and then absorb all the gains he had gained from this actual combat. This was his first time to demonstrate his extraordinary skills in actual combat, and he had only been practicing before.

And ten thousand drills would certainly not be as meaningful as one actual combat. This actual combat gave him too much content that needed to be digested well, and he urgently needed to absorb all these gains while waiting for the time to heal his injuries.

He has full confidence that after he has completely recovered from his injuries and absorbed these experiences, he will be faced with a completely transformed self, a self who has truly entered the extraordinary realm.

Livi actually chose to use a losing strategy to create a chance for herself to escape. She would regret it because she lost the only chance to completely defeat Dullahan.

Hero Levi, see you next time...

...is the day of your death!

At the same time, Livi and her two generals, as well as a group of cheerleaders and ornamental plants, also left the North and headed towards the South.

The Demon Realm is simply divided into four areas according to the east, south, west and north, but this division method is actually very rough. After all, among the demons, only the Demon King will symbolically design a Demon King City for himself. It is a bit of an exaggeration to call the entire demon clan a civilization. In fact, it is just a simple settlement where the tribe gathers together.

The so-called regional division in human society is basically the division of cities or countries. After all, at least one quarter of the land of a small continent is occupied by oneself.

But the demons have no such concept at all. They don't have any countries or cities, they don't even have tribes. The so-called Demon King's City is more like the Demon King's personal fortress and palace than a city-state.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that this ghost place, Demon Realm, is "rich in resources" and "rich in people and land". It can be said that nine out of ten places are barren...

Not to mention that most of the demons do not produce anything, and the entire ecosystem is built by big fish eating small fish. Strong demons like Dulahan can basically draw magic power directly from the atmosphere to maintain their body consumption and do not need to eat at all.

Or it could be like the rock-armored behemoth, which has evolved a strong stomach that allows it to survive by eating soil.

The basis for the existence of civilization is the need for mutual cooperation and support, with some people supporting other people so that a part of the non-productive population can work for the development of civilization as a whole.

The workers do not farm, but rely on farmers to provide food, so that the workers can focus on construction, and only in this way can we build cities and establish countries...

The demons have almost no such needs. To sum up, the evolution of the demons has not moved towards civilization.

Livi felt that the only reason these demons could survive until now was because of their fighting ability. If their fighting power was just a little bit lower, they would have been eliminated naturally long ago.

This also determines that the demons are mostly in disarray, and can only reach a reluctant consensus on the issue of "invading the main continent", that is, occupying the human world.

Apart from this consensus, the demons in most cases fought on their own. For example, the three demon generals did not interact with each other at all in most cases.

If the Demon King existed, he could unite these three Demon Generals and bring the scattered demon clan together into a whole, and the Demon Kings in history did exactly this job.

It's just that the way the Demon King gathers the demons is through high-pressure rule and coercion by force. In other words, the reason why the Demon King is the Demon King has nothing to do with personal charm or political wisdom, but is entirely based on his fighting ability!

But this is only natural. You can't talk about development and people's livelihood with the demons. Talking about personal charm is even more ridiculous. According to the demons' worldview that the strong are respected, the demon king should conquer everything with force. Only then can he be called a demon king!

Therefore, this also gave Livi the opportunity to defeat the Demon Generals separately and seize the position of Demon King...

Not only is it almost impossible for the demon generals to unite and cooperate when facing her, they will even hinder each other. Just like now, Dullahan already knows that Livi is the reincarnation of the brave Levi.

If he spread the news immediately and joined forces with the other two demon generals to encircle and suppress Livi, even if Livi could win, she would be in great pain.

If you don't handle it properly, there is a possibility of capsizing.

But Dullahan would never do that. Not only would he not remind her, he would even take the initiative to hide the secret for Livi.

However, some news could not be concealed, so when Livi stepped into the land of the southern border, rumors about Livi had already begun to spread widely throughout the Demon Realm.

This is mainly due to two key reasons. First, after Livi appeared on the scene, she gathered forces in the North. Although from Livi's own perspective, she gathered a group of talented people, except for the two generals, basically no one could fight.

Even the most capable ones among them, Mava and Aenekos, their combat effectiveness is actually questionable.

It cannot be denied that they are strong enough to make a living under the Demon General, but for Livi, they can only help her to bully the weak ones. If she really meets a strong opponent, she will have to do it herself.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Livi has defeated powerful enemies repeatedly in just one month and recruited two very powerful subordinates. From the perspective of ordinary demons, Mava and Aenekos are indeed very powerful.

Then, the most crucial point... Livi was able to escape from the hands of the Demon General Dullahan.

That's right, no one thought that Livi could fight Dullahan to a draw, and when Dullahan attacked, it was believed that Livi was defeated and fled.

Although running away seems shameful, it depends on who the opponent is. The opponent is the Demon General Dullahan. With him as the opponent, being able to escape is already a remarkable achievement...

This made people overestimate Livi's strength, and the rumors about the "Devil King" became more convincing.

Under such influence, many demons have begun to pay attention to Livi's movements. Although they may not dare to jump out and cause trouble for Livi, they are all very concerned about what is so special about this seemingly very special succubus.

If she is not a demon king, why is she so powerful?

Is there any secret in this? If I crack this secret, can I become stronger?

Most of the demons only dared to think about it. After all, Livi was able to fight Dullahan. This strength was not something that ordinary demons could challenge.

But there are also demons who are really interested...

...For example, the ruler of the South, "Demon General" Star

Chapter 37: The Demon King

The southern border of the Demon Realm...

...As mentioned before, the demons have almost no concept of engaging in production. Apart from the Demon King who has a Demon City, most of the other demons can dig a hole in the ground for themselves to live in, which is already considered relatively decent.

Even though the fact is that the demons' physical fitness far exceeds that of humans, if they wanted to, they could easily build wonders that would be beyond the reach of humans, but no demon would do so.

Because this behavior is "meaningless" in the eyes of most demons...

...Of course, not all demons are like this, such as the Demon King, and also... "Demon General" Star

As one of the few "cultured people" among the demons, as a lich, he sneers at the way of life of most demons.

He built himself his own "magic tower". Of course, in this hellhole called Demon Realm, building materials were extremely limited and the options available were quite scarce, so in the end, Star chose the most economical one.

...His magic tower is also called the Corpse Tower. From the name, you can intuitively tell what the main building materials of this thing are.

Unlike other demons, Star doesn't actually have much aversion to the Demon Realm. After all, he is a lich, and liches are undead species with almost zero demand for "survival resources".
