"Mr. Shaquille, with the amplification from the Blessing Spell, you should now be able to move around inside the Demon Tower. If you still feel any difort, you can request for me to further increase the intensity of the magic power for you," Leon said.
So this level of power was merely the threshold to enter and exit the Demon King''s Tower? Although Shaquille''s heart was stirred with immense greed at Leon''s mention of being able to "continue amplifying", his eyes shing with desire, he immediately restrained himself and hastily waved his hand.
"No need, no need. Uh..."
Leon noticed Shaquille''s awkwardness and took the initiative to introduce himself with a smile, "I am the King''s Second Apostle and also the leader of the Wisdom Demon''s n. Mr. Shaquille, you can just call me Leon."
Upon hearing this, Shaquille finally felt a slight relief in his heart. So he was the Second Apostle. If any random demon could bestow such immense power upon them, Shaquille might truly have had a breakdown.
"If there are no other questions, let us continue. His Majesty is just ahead."
"As youmand, Lord Leon!"
And so, with Leon leading the way, therge group of nobles from the negotiation delegation walked cautiously and curiously through the Demon Tower.
They had originally thought this ce was located somewhere in the world.
But theyter discovered they were wrong.
The delegation of nobles was now on the ninth floor of the Demon Tower.
This floor had been designed by the Subus Apostle Eileen to have a starry sky ceiling. After all, this was the Demon King''s Pce, and the implication of the starry sky was that the absolute ruler of the entire universe and nes was the absolute king.
In the eyes of Shaquille and the other nobles from the human alliance, the vast starry sky overhead seemed to epass everything, as mysterious and unfathomable as the real universe. This was clearly not something that could be seen in the world and could only exist within an alternate dimension.
They entered a pce, and not to mention the pce doors made from precious ores rich in magic power that they couldn''tprehend at all, just the majestic sculpture that greeted them as the doors opened attracted the gazes of many nobles.
It was a sculpture of a skeleton dragon, possibly two to three stories tall even while crouching.
The entire sculpture seemed to be made from real bones.
But they were ck bones.
From the luster of the bones, one could see that there was no oxidation at all. They had been meticulously cared for, and each piece was as translucent as ck jade, seemingly with faint gray airflow circting within.
The joints and assembly of each bone were wless and extremely tight, without the slightest defect.
The nobles didn''t understand the other profound spells and magical creatures inside the Demon King''s Tower, but when it came to works of art, especially sculptures, the nobles were quite knowledgeable.
Among the delegation, there were quite a few nobles who were sculpture collectors, including Shaquille. Therefore, when he saw this lifelike dragon sculpture, his eyes lit up, and he finally found a topic of conversation.
This sculpture was definitely the work of a master. He was just about to take the opportunity to praise the Demon King''s taste and the sculpture''s exquisite craftsmanship and majestic aura when...
The skeleton dragon raised its fierce dragon head, and in its originally hollow eye sockets, scarlet ghostly mes instantly ignited. With just a nce at this group of humans who hade to have an audience, Shaquille and his entourage felt as if they had fallen into an icy abyss, not daring to even breathe.
It was only after the skeleton dragon retracted its head andy down again that the nobles came back to their senses. So this wasn''t a sculpture at all, but a real... skeleton dragon!?
Humans also had necromancy spells, and it was quite a significant branch. However, the most powerful among them were only at the level of "Undead Lord". They had no idea how advanced the necromancy spell had to be to create such a bone dragon.
Andter, when a female skeleton wearing a maid outfit, exuding a cold and noble aura, came to continue guiding them, Shaquille''s assistant who had practiced necromancy nearly fainted.
A lich!??
The goddess in the dreams of all necromancers, the legendary queen standing at the absolute pinnacle of undead creatures, turned out to be the Demon King''s maid?
Shaquille had actually be numb.
As they got closer to the Demon King, there were simply too many things along the way that subverted their worldviews.
Originally, they hade with the attitude of the defeated going to meet the victor.
But now, they felt like ants going to meet a deity.
"I see the chairman is a bit nervous. There''s no need to worry. After all, His Majesty has high expectations for you," Leon said as he opened thestrge door to the audience hall.
The massive audience hall, arranged in a stepped manner, appeared before the eyes of the noble delegation.
The eight Demon Apostles were arranged in order ording to their respective apostle ranks at different positions on the steps.
The first level wasn''t too bad. The white octopus la didn''t look ferocious, but rather a bit cute, curiously observing the humans who hade this time.
The second level was a row of high-ranking Wisdom Demons with human bodies and snake faces. Leon, who had led them earlier, quickly walked over and slightly bowed his body in a respectful manner.
On the fourth level was a little girl hugging a doll. If one ignored the butcher knife in her hand, she might still be considered very cute. Some nobles who might have been interested in young girls took a few more nces at Alice.
As a result, when they saw Alice also looking over at them and smiling, it suddenly made many nobles feel a surge of warmth in their hearts, their hearts pounding rapidly. It turned out that not all demons were fierce and terrifying; there were also beautiful and lovely ones!
On the subsequent levels were the Great Demon, Sword Demon, Sorcery Demon, and other demon ns. They were more or less familiar with them, as these were the ones who had appeared on the battlefield before and were mainly responsible for patrolling and maintaining order in the upied zones.
Of course, at the very end, seated on the highest throne and wearing red and ck armor, they definitely wouldn''t mistake him this time. After all, all the apostles present were bowing their heads and kneeling towards the figure on the throne.
That was the object of their audience on this trip and also the master of this Demon Tower.
The Demon King.
"Quick, present it."
After Shaquille also knelt and paid his respects, he immediately signaled to his subordinates. The subordinates understood and promptly took out beautifully packaged boxes from the back and respectfully ced them in front of Reji.
"What is this?"
"Your Majesty, these are the ignorant humans who attempted to resist the demons and tried to stop Your Majesty from unifying the world under the rule of the demon race in the areas under demon control. Such clowns have beenpletely purged by your humble servant on Your Majesty''s behalf, and their heads are presented here!"
After a demon servant opened the lid, indeed, inside were heads, with expressions of disbelief, anger at being betrayed, despair, unwillingness, and so on.
"Very good."
Reji nodded.
Seeing the Demon King speak and even praise them, Shaquille finally felt relieved, and a fawning smile appeared on his face. He became more confident about the uing negotiations.
Unfortunately, he didn''t hear the second half of Reji''s thought in his mind.
[Very good, very much in line with the imagination of nobles.]
This scene had also urred in the first ythrough.
But the instigator was the Wicked Demon.
However, this time...
The Wicked Demon had already been killed by him.
But... Reji slightly nodded his head, indicating that Shaquille and the other representatives of the "Human Collective" could continue speaking. He wanted to see which one, the nobles or the Wicked Demon, would ultimately prove superior.
