Even though they didn't know the details, the grand lords hiding in the shadows could still tell what the human was going through.
A few of the bolder ones walked out of their hiding places and walked toward the cocoon of light to observe it closely. They were all wearing deceptive human appearances. They were all gentle, dignified, and elegant, like nobles. Of course, there were also some disgusting decorations in their personal style, showing the unique taste of demons and grand lords.
One of them didn't hide his greedy expression at all. He was closer than anyone else and said, "If we devour him now, we'll have a chance to get two decent talents. One can't be evaluated yet, but it should be a very strong talent. Shall we attack? No one wants to attack? It means that I have no other competitors and can enjoy him alone. With such a delicacy in front of me, I'd be letting myself down if I didn't touch it. "
"Maybe you don't have any competitors. But you didn't get my permission either. " The one who suddenly interrupted was the former Demon King, Fanny Tikal, who had come with a cat, two girls, and the commander of the royal guards who had no subordinates.
In fact, they had arrived even earlier. It was just that a certain someone's crazy attitude at that time made them not want to get close. Anyway, it didn't seem like there would be any danger for the time being, and it was that person who was suppressing the demons. If they approached recklessly, who knew if they would be beaten up together? That guy didn't recognize anyone when he was sober, and he wouldn't feel guilty even if he hit the wrong person, let alone now.
Besides, Fanny needed time to confirm the person's condition before she knew how to help. Because everything that was happening was outside of their plan, Fanny and the others didn't even know what was going on. That was why they had been watching patiently from afar and used the directional Arcane Eyes.
Under the effect of Kaya's white cat clothes, they weren't discovered by the grand lords of the abyss. It was only when a demon showed ill intentions toward their teacher's cocoon of light that Fanny and the others appeared.
The title of "Demon King" wasn't only meaningful in the Lost Land. Nobody dared to call themselves Demon King without the approval of the demons. That was why Fanny and these grand lords who had lived for a long time were old acquaintances.
Seeing the former Demon King appear, the grand lords were both surprised and unsurprised. The first person to step forward said, "I was wondering why that human had a familiar stench on him. So it's your smell, Your Majesty. Ah, that's not right. You've been dead for a thousand years. That Void Crown has long been vacant. If Your Majesty didn't die irresponsibly and come back to life irresponsibly, you would be able to continue occupying that throne. "
Fen said indifferently, "That kind of thing doesn't matter. Whoever wants it will go. However, if you want to touch that man today, I will invite you back to your hometown to recuperate for a while, just like those two idiots who were eaten just now. "
"Oh, why would Your Excellency think that we still need to listen to you now that you no longer have the title of 'Demon King'?" At the same time, the abyssal lord's appearance changed, and his face became even more ferocious. At the same time, his body also expanded.
Facing this blatant threat, Fen didn't take it to heart. She said, "Anyway, when I was the Demon King, you guys ignored my orders. Is it that important? A bunch of useless things. Moreover, who was he trying to threaten by showing such an expression? Did you forget how my title of Demon King came about? It wasn't picked up on the side of the road or given to me by someone who was in a good mood. When I beat you guys up, no one dared to say anything in front of me. Now that I've been resurrected after a thousand years, guess if I'm weaker or stronger than before? Who wants to try? "
Undisguised provocation. Fen was well aware of the attitude of these fiends. Except for a few idiots, they basically wouldn't get up early if there were no benefits. If there were no obvious benefits, even if they were urged repeatedly, they might not be able to be persuaded.
In order to fight against the old gods, she sought the help of the fiends. They demanded souls as the price, and then the two sides fought … In the end, Fen received the title of 'Demon King' and a bunch of useless minions.
Conclusion: That trip to the Abyss was not a pleasant memory for Fen. Because it was a waste of effort.
Now, she came again not to revisit the old place or reminisce about anything, but simply to get some microorganisms unique to the Abyss – if there are any – and the biological DNA back for research. There was no urgency in this matter. After all, there were enough things on hand. She wouldn't be able to play around for a while.
This time, she was purely accompanying them. She didn't have any destination. But accompanying someone back to the Abyss, that person really made a lot of noise.
Ignoring the covetous eyes of the Abyss Lords, Fen walked up to the light cocoon and stopped the two girls who wanted to come forward and touch it. This thing wasn't as harmless as it looked, it could eat people.
As for the vicious Abyss Lord, after seeing Fen's nonchalant attitude, he restrained himself. He said resentfully: "That crown no longer belongs to you. I don't want to give you a reason to take it. Since he had already fulfilled the will of that person, this human being. Here, I offer my blessings and welcome him to become one of us. Now, I'm going home.
Rest. Today, I went out for a long journey and watched a show. It's enough. "
With that, the Abyss Lord, who had returned to the appearance of an ordinary human, bowed slightly, took a few steps back, and disappeared from everyone's sight. Along with him, there were several other Abyss Lords who either showed up or didn't show up.
The title of 'Demon King' wasn't something that could be casually given. In addition to being recognized by the will of the Abyss, most of the Abyss Lords must not object, and even approve and support it. Of course, fighting was the easiest way.
But apart from the will of the Abyss, it wasn't so easy to subdue all the Abyss Lords. The first thing to do was to be recognized by the Abyss Lords as worthy of making a move. This was the reason why the Abyss Lord who left didn't want to make a move first. Because that was tantamount to admitting that the Lich in front of them, who was no longer the Lich, had the qualifications.
But for the veteran Abyss Lords, what they recognized as a matter of course didn't mean that the younger generation would agree. In particular, the Lich who once had the title of 'Demon King'. After a thousand years, how much strength did he have left? It was intriguing. Several Abyss Lords who had become Abyss Lords in the past thousand years slowly surrounded Fen.
This Lich was different from that human magus. The former's strength was obvious, so the Abyss Lords who wanted to challenge him had to evaluate the consequences themselves. The latter's strength was unexpected, so much so that no one thought that the human was really strong. Everything was just the result of his tricks. But after some evaluation, many Abyss Lords didn't think that the Lich was that far away from them.
So, some Abyss Lords stood out to challenge him. According to his calculations, as long as he could defeat the Lich who once had the title of 'Demon King', his reputation would rise, and more demons would come to join him.
