In short, although Livi failed to recruit many reliable subordinates, she successfully eliminated many elite monsters in the North and even killed a small boss.
Such strength is enough to attract the attention of the demons in the North and even the entire Demon Realm.
After all, Livi appeared suddenly, and no one knew her origins before. Such a powerful succubus was simply unheard of.
Although they were unwilling to believe it, many demons had already come up with an extremely absurd idea in their minds.
Could it be...
...After two hundred years, the devil has come again?
But why did the devil appear in the form of a succubus this time? This is too ridiculous.
Again, the demons can even accept the Goblin Demon King, but cannot accept the Succubus becoming the Demon King.
Among them, of course, is the current King of the North, who can also be said to be the de facto leader of the demon clan, Demon General Dullahan!
Demon Realm North: Demon King's City
This was originally the palace of the Demon King, but since the Demon King has been dead for two hundred years, this Demon King's castle is naturally empty at this moment.
In line with the basic principle of the Demon Realm, the strong is the king, so naturally it was Dullahan, who was the number one person in the Demon Realm at the moment, who openly took over the Demon King City.
Although his strength is not enough for other demon generals to recognize him as the Demon King, at least in terms of the actual power he holds, there is not much difference between him and the Demon King.
Including the last time he invaded the continent, he was the one in command. Of course, he was defeated in the end and was beaten badly by the brave Levi, which is another story.
Although this was a humiliating defeat, no one dared to mention it in front of Dulahan. After all, although he could not defeat the brave Levi, Dulahan only needed one hand to kill an ordinary demon.
At this moment, Livi's strong rise also caught his attention.
Originally, although Livi's power was already eye-catching enough, it was not enough to make Demon General Dullahan concerned about it. The main reason was that Livi's existence triggered discussions such as "Will the Demon King come?"
And this discussion is simply poking at Dullahan's lungs.
He was extremely eager to become the Demon King, even though he had actually acquired the ownership of the Demon King's Castle and sat on the Demon King's throne, but he knew very well that it was useless...
...The demons did not recognize him. Even though he was sitting on the throne right now, he was not the Demon King!
And now, there is actually a mere succubus that appears to have shown the qualities of a demon king. How could he not care?
So, Dullahan gathered his subordinates and held a meeting in the Demon King's City to discuss the matter.
Those who were summoned were naturally some of the most powerful demons in the Demon Realm. Although their strength was not as good as the three demon generals, they were still capable of standing on their own.
Although their number is not large, because many of them were hacked to death by the brave Levi during the previous invasion of the continent, the demon clan was indeed severely damaged.
Of course, those who can stand here now are all those who survived the war. Naturally, they are also veterans who have experienced many battles and their strength should not be underestimated.
As a member of the demon clan, he had a strange appearance, but at this moment, all these monsters and goblins were kneeling on the ground respectfully, worshiping the figure on the throne.
Sitting high on the throne was a knight covered in thick black armor...
...His appearance seemed to be no different from that of a human being, just dressed as a fully armored knight.
However, if you move your eyes slightly upward, you will notice the difference.
The knight's neck was empty, and he did not have the head, which is the most important part for a living being.
Instead, in the right hand of the figure, there was a dark helmet, and under the helmet, two blue-green flames were swaying, like a pair of eyes that could penetrate the soul.
This is the Demon General... Dullahan, the "Headless Horseman" Dullahan!
His race is the Dullahan, and Dullahan has gained the power of the "Death Knight" through training, combining the power of two powerful races into one, breaking the boundaries of races and possessing terrifying strength...
...The Headless Knight possesses extremely strong physical combat capabilities and is proficient in various weapons. He can be said to be a mobile fortress that combines both offense and defense.
The Death Knight is proficient in all kinds of powerful black magic. Combining the strengths of the two, Demon General Dullahan can be said to be a hexagonal warrior who practices both magic and martial arts, with no blind spots...
Many powerful demons have extreme points added to their abilities, so they have some shortcomings and weaknesses. For example, some races with powerful spellcasting abilities have poor physical qualities, and are like pieces of meat when approached by others.
Others are invincible in close combat, but are extremely bad at dealing with magic, and will be kite-killed by all kinds of magic.
If it were a game, these bosses with weaknesses could all be defeated by skipping classes.
But Dullahan is different, he has a hexagonal panel with no blind spots, and the only way to win is to overwhelm him head-on with a harder panel and higher numbers than his!
And he lost to Levi...
...For Dullahan, this was a disastrous defeat that left no room for rebuttal.
Ever since losing to Levi and even faking his death to escape to heaven, Dullahan, who had fled back to the Demon Realm, has been in a very bad mood.
All the subordinates present could feel this.
Today, the boss seemed to be in a particularly bad mood, and everyone could feel it...
...A rainstorm that is suppressed and about to break out is already approaching!
Chapter 14 Oh, he didn't die, I must have thought too much~
Dullahan is in a bad mood now...
...Although his expression could not be seen at all, his subordinates who were kneeling in front of him could still clearly feel it.
You may ask why you feel this way...
Mainly, they are not blind...
…Around Dullahan, the powerful magic power had condensed into an aura visible to the naked eye, and at this moment, this aura took on a shape like a pitch-black flame, undoubtedly showing the fact that “I’m very unhappy right now”.
What was even more frightening was that this was not Dullahan's intentional act. The aura gathered around his body was nothing more than an unconscious change of emotions, leading to the natural release of his astonishing magic power.
And this flame is truly destructive. Low-level demons can't even get close to Dulahan, as they will be evaporated alive by this powerful external magic power.
And those who can kneel here... naturally cannot be beings that can be burned to death by this level of magic power release, but this does not prevent them from being able to sense that their boss is in a bad mood, and if they don't say a word to him, their lives may be in danger.
And they are not particularly loyal to Dullahan. The reason they become Dullahan's subordinates is simply because Dullahan is a good fighter.
Talking about loyalty with the demons is indeed a ridiculous topic. Dullahan himself did not believe that his subordinates would be loyal to him. As long as his power weakened, these subordinates might be the first to turn against him and try to kill him to take over.
Therefore, Dullahan's desire to become the Demon King is not just out of vanity, but also due to very practical factors.
If he wants to become the ruler of the Demon Realm, he must have overwhelming power, and the Demon King is the embodiment of this power.
But now, the appearance of Livi seriously challenged the goal he had set in his mind, and naturally he was extremely unhappy about it.
Although Livi wants to become the Demon King, she has not yet made her idea public, so only some demons in the north are discussing these things.
But for Dullahan, even discussion is not allowed!
"Hehe, a succubus?"
A dull voice came from the figure on the throne. It did not come from the mouth, but from the chest of the black armor. It resounded throughout the palace like thunder, and the black aura gathered around the body also flickered violently.
"...General, it must be just some idle talk. How can a mere succubus be the Demon King? Please give the order. As long as you give the order, I will crush her immediately!"
All in all, it was true that Dullahan was very unhappy about this, but at this moment, Livi's strength had obviously not been fully demonstrated. At least Dullahan did not think that Livi was so strong that he needed to take action personally.
In fact, if it weren't for Livi's existence being linked to the Demon King, Dullahan would never have looked at a mere succubus.
Therefore, although Dullahan was very concerned about this, he could never do it himself. If he did so, it would be even more embarrassing.
Obviously, the subordinates kneeling below clearly understood what he meant. Unlike the group of talented people around Livi, the demons here at least had normal IQ development.
Therefore, the kneeling demons immediately offered to take charge, telling Dulahan not to worry about this matter, as they could handle it themselves.
Obviously, these people didn't think that a mere succubus was a big deal. Even though Livi had actually destroyed a small boss-level skeleton troll, it was no big deal in the eyes of these demons.
After all, the demons present here are real enough to be the bosses guarding the game.
In Dullahan's palm, in the black helmet held up...the two points of bluish-white flames that looked like souls flashed across all the people at the scene, and finally stopped on a figure in the corner.
"Then, it's up to you..."
He raised his hand and gently lifted it, and the black flame of magic spread out in front of the figure.
It was a short and inconspicuous figure, wearing a black robe, and its specific features could not be seen.
After being named by Dullahan, it immediately lowered its head, and a rustling sound came from under the hood of its black robe.
It was like the sound of a few pieces of dry bark rubbing against each other, or the sound of some insect's mouthparts chewing food.
After receiving the order, the black-robed figure took two steps back while kneeling, and retreated to the main entrance of the hall in a very subtle and somewhat funny posture. Then he raised his head, stood up, jumped out without looking back, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Leave it to that guy, is that okay?"
Someone was muttering cautiously below that the strange man in black robe was a subordinate who had just been subdued by Dulahan not long ago, and the other demons around were not yet familiar with his abilities.
However, these words did not escape Dullahan's ears.
"Are you questioning my judgment and orders? Interesting. Then... come up and explain yourself..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the kneeling demon was almost frightened to death. He fell to the ground without saying a word, and was too scared to say even a word.
"..."
The demons around him simply gave him 'deserved it' looks, Dullahan was undoubtedly a tyrant and would never allow anyone to question his judgement.
I don't know what was wrong with the demon who was speaking today, he actually made such a mistake.
However, Dulahan did not punish him. If it were any other time, the demon would most likely be dead.
Of course the reason is definitely not that Dullahan is in a good mood today. On the contrary, he is in a very bad mood.
The reason for sparing the other person's life is exactly the same as the reason why Livi spared Mava and the others...
...The main reason is that there are really few demons who can fight now. If we kill them indiscriminately, we will have few subordinates left to use.
I can't always do it myself when something happens, so I have to keep a few of my subordinates behind me in case of emergency.
The main reason for sending out the newly conquered man this time was to test his abilities. Besides, he was a newly recruited subordinate after all, so it would not be too sad if he died.
Although Dullahan did not think that there was any need to be cautious about a mere succubus, he did feel a strange sixth sense for a moment when he issued the order.
There is no logic to this. It may simply be that the magic power is strong enough to possess some vague "inspiration" that allows one to predict the vague future at critical moments.
But this kind of inspiration is unreliable, and many times it’s just overthinking.
But Dullahan will soon find out, this time...
He didn't think much.

Well, today's third update~
Three more votes~
Chapter 15: Running Enters the Stone Age
Livi naturally had no idea that she was being targeted.
But theoretically, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care at all, and might even just jump up and clap her hands.
After all, Livi's biggest headache now is that she has no idea where she is at the moment and can't find anyone she wants to find.
You see, there was no need for Li Wei to go find him, he actually came to her on his own, so it was natural for Li Wei to come and see him...
...Is there such a good thing?
So, what is Livy doing now?
The answer is... exploring the map...
...Because she had given up hope on these talented people under her, Livi did not expect them to help her draw the map. She planned to draw the map by herself.
Although Livi's drawing skills are not professional, she learned it after joining the army, but she is very talented. Of course, it may also be because the passive bonus of the hero has the characteristic of "super-fast growth", which makes it easy for her to learn anything.
In short, Livi's skills are still a little short of those of professionals, but compared with her subordinates who are in a mess and can't figure out what to do, she is still quite capable.
However, this is a very damn situation in front of Li Wei...
…She couldn’t even find paper and pen to draw a map.
The Demon Realm is so barren. Based on the cultural literacy of the demons, they have no habit of reading, and paper and pen have never been a necessity for them.
Considering that the scene starts with papermaking, it is indeed a bit beyond the scope...
So, in the end, Livi was really forced into a corner and had to find a relatively flat piece of stone slab and start carving the map on it.
