"Welcome to the starting point of a new world, Viscount Shien Porzstuart."
When such a laughter sounded, from the shadows in front of the temple, several figures slowly appeared together.
Among the several figures, four of them were the Old Demons in Black that Shien had faced before.
They were like guards, protecting a person in the middle in a four-sided formation. As the person walked, they walked out silently.
In the middle of them was a Demon who was also wearing a black robe but had taken off his hood.
It was a Demon who looked about the same age as Shien. His face was sickly pale, like a weak noble son, and he had a gentle and elegant smile on his face.
Oz and Maffei looked at each other in bewilderment at the sight of this gentle and elegant demon.
Shien also narrowed his eyes, and there was inevitably a trace of surprise in his expression.
"Are you the leader?"
Shien asked straightforwardly, and there was some doubt in his tone.
This was something that couldn't be helped.
Because Shien discovered that the Demons that were protected by four Men in Black who were above level 80 and had the [Symbiosis] skill were only level 10.
Yes, they were level 10.
In other words, these Demons were very weak. They were so weak that they didn't look like the Demons that were known for their strength.
Demons had an absolute innate advantage in terms of strength. Even the Protoss had to concede defeat to them.
Such a race, no matter how low their talent was, could grow to a point that ordinary humans couldn't reach.
Once, when Shien first became an adventurer, the staff of the Adventurers Guild told him that ordinary humans could reach level 10 as long as they didn't have any defects.
Demons were much stronger than humans. Therefore, when they reached adulthood, they could usually reach level 30, which was far from what humans could compare to.
As for the Protoss, there was no such thing as adulthood. What they looked like when they were born would always be the same, and it wouldn't change.
In other words, Demons were the race with the greatest innate advantage among all the races. Other than children who hadn't reached adulthood, it was almost impossible for there to be a level 10 Demons.
Now, the Demons that appeared in front of Shien were only level 10, and they looked sickly. They should be the weakest among the Demons, right?
Such a character was actually the leader of the Old Demons?
Shien couldn't help but have doubts.
However, although the Demon was only level 10, he had learned a skill that surprised Shien.
While Shien was doubtful and surprised, the Demon smiled nonchalantly.
"Introduce yourself."
The other party was like a real nobleman. He bowed politely to Sean while speaking elegantly.
"My name is Danas, the leader of the old demon faction [Mirage]."
So this is the name of the Old Demons?
Just when Shien was thinking about that, Danath spoke again.
"I've heard of your name for a long time."
"I've long heard of Lady Qing's name." "Is that so?" Danath showed a gentle expression and said, "The adventurer who crusaded against the [Slaughterer Faction], the new noble who tamed a dragon, and the Demon Dwellers of my Demons, your name is quite resounding in the Old Demons."
"Is that so?" Shien raised a brow and said in a mocking tone, "Don't tell me it's because I crusaded against your comrades, so I'm on your kill list, the kind of resounding reputation that you will have to get rid of sooner or later?"
"How could that be?" Danath smiled lightly. "Even if we are all from the Old Demons, we belong to different forces. Other than some cooperation and alliances, the forces of the Old Demons basically don't interfere with each other, and sometimes even become enemies. Under such circumstances, no Old Demons would go after you just because of a declining [Slaughterer Faction]."
Declining.
Indeed declining.
After the large-scale assassination in the kingdom ten years ago, the [Slaughterer Faction], which once had more than a thousand members and was known as the strongest force among the Old Demons, suffered heavy casualties and was left with less than 1% of its original size. It was something Rosie told Shien before.
[Slaughterer Faction] was originally an Old Demons faction that mainly focused on assassinations and assassinations. They didn't have any extraordinary powerhouses. Even the leader, Beetho, was only at level 84 and didn't have any unique skills. If it wasn't for the fact that he mastered high-level dark magic and spirit magic, the leader's position would probably be shifted.
After the decline of the Old Demons faction, the others of the Old Demons faction naturally wouldn't pay attention to them, and no one would go to war for them.
But …
"You seem to be looking for trouble for me now."
Shien said without batting an eyelid.
Danath quickly shook his head.
"You really like to joke. Why would I look for trouble for you?"
Danath denied.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Shien had already used [Identify] to see through the only skill he had learned.
"You think I didn't notice that although your level is low, you have already learned [Magic. Biological Creation] to the maximum level?"
Shien said bluntly.
Danath wasn't the only one who reacted to Shien's words. Oz and Maffei also reacted.
"You said that he has the [Magic. Biological Creation] skill? And it's at the maximum level? "
Maffei was stunned.
"Doesn't that mean that he can use Biological Creation Magic and is very skilled in it?"
Oz's expression changed as well.
Both of them immediately understood how important this information was.
If that was true, it would mean that even though Danas was very weak, he was able to create magic creatures of a very high quality through the use of living creatures.
Unfortunately, when they were chasing after the mastermind who destroyed the spatial node and took away the jade, they saw many magical beings that were treated as abandoned pawns.
The meaning of this was very clear.
"You are the one who used magical beings as abandoned pawns, right?"
Shien exposed Danath just like that.
But Danath put on an innocent look.
"I think you must have misunderstood." Danas raised his hands and sighed pretentiously, "Indeed, my only strength is to create magical beings. However, I've already lent them out. The one who ordered them to do so is not me, but your kin, Borztut."
Kin.
Humans.
This wasn't a lie.
Elyse had already said that the one who destroyed the spatial node and took away the jade was a human, not Demons.
Since it wasn't Demons, it proved that Danath wasn't lying.
"I have some cooperation with him, but it doesn't involve much. He gives me what I want, and I give him what he wants. That's all," Danath said sincerely. Danas replied sincerely, "If the magical lifeform I created caused you any displeasure, then I can apologize. However, I bear no ill will toward you. I hope you can understand this clearly, Qing."
Danath's attitude toward Shien could be said to be extremely friendly.
But from his behavior of completely ignoring Oz and Muffet, it could be seen that he wasn't as polite and refined as he appeared to be. Instead, he was a very arrogant and self-centered person.
Shien didn't mind chatting with him more.
Because the more they chatted, the more Shien learned.
For example …
"I think I understand why your level is so low." Shien pursed his lips and said, "It's not that your talent isn't good, but you put all your energy into creating magical beings. That's why you didn't grow and train, and your level didn't increase, right?"
Shien glanced at the four men in black.
"These four treasures should be the magical beings you created. That's why they listen to you, right?"
In exchange for Shien's words, Danath smiled affirmatively.
"I'm not good at fighting, and my talent is very ordinary. Even if I train until I die, I probably won't achieve anything. I'll only become a weak member of the low-level Demons and be buried in the crowd." Danath shrugged his shoulders and said in a seemingly helpless and light-hearted manner, "Fortunately, my talent in creating magical beings is not bad. When practicing creating magical beings, every time I level up, I can get a lot of Skill Points."
Generally speaking, the number of Skill Points a person could get depended on the person's talent, and the results of the person's battles.
If one's talent was excellent and potential was extraordinary, and there was no limit to it, then one could get a lot of Skill Points. The more outstanding one was, the more Skill Points one would get when leveling up.
Then, if one leveled up after experiencing a battle to the death, then one would usually get a lot of Skill Points. This showed the importance of growth in battles.
However, there were also some people who only had unparalleled talent in one or two areas, but were mediocre in other areas. When they focused on those areas, they would usually get extraordinary growth.
For example, if Danath had extraordinary talent in creating magical beings, then when he worked hard in other areas, his growth would be very slow. However, once he worked hard in the field of creating magical beings, he would get extraordinary growth.
In view of this, Danath should have been working hard to practice creating magical beings. Therefore, when he practiced creating magical beings, he would get a lot of Skill Points every time he leveled up. In addition, he was talented in this area, and the number of Skill Points needed to level up was not high. That was why he could level up [Magic. Living Creation] to the maximum level when he was at level 10.
Because he had no talent in other areas, even if he trained, he would not get much growth. Therefore, this person simply gave up, and his level had always been so low.
However, this person was able to create a force with just a single Creation Spell.
Putting everything else aside, the four magical beings around Danath who had the [Symbiosis] skill were undoubtedly his greatest masterpiece.
He was not strong enough?
So what?
Danath only needed to put in a lot of effort to collect precious materials, and then he could create powerful magical beings that would fight for him and listen to him.
Thanks to this, Danath was the leader of [Fata Morgana].
He was a real leader, not a warrior.
