This is nothing special. It's normal.

The other apostles are more or less the same.

The Great Demon for the satisfaction of battle, the Sorcery Demon for the satisfaction of the unknown, the Decay Demon for the satisfaction of corpse obsession, the Wisdom Demon for the satisfaction of the desire to decide, etc.

Even Reji, as the Demon King, admits that he, too, needs the power of the demon race to pursue the truth of this "completely different" world a thousand years later.

That's why some of the Apostles' desires are not allowed.

Like the Wicked Demon, for example.

The demon race is being led down the wrong path by the Wicked Demon.

That's why, after conquering a world, they become completely hostile to that race, to the point of slaughtering and exterminating them.

In Reji's view, this way of thinking is completely wrong.

Any player who has played a strategy game knows that the purpose of attacking cities, conquering other countries, and even invading other planets and worlds, especially in the development stage, is to gain resources.

And among these, population and productivity are the most valuable renewable resources.

If, after conquering a world, one leaves behind only devastation and destruction and is forced to move on to the next one, that's not called conquest.

That's called a locust.

Reji raised his hand, signaling Eileen not to guard him anymore.

At the same time, Reji handed the elven baby in his hands to the Succubus.

"Take care of her" Reji said calmly.

Perhaps because she loves her home, the baby was not afraid when Reji handed her over to someone else. Instead, she looked curiously at the new "sister" who had taken her.

The new "sister" had her eyebrows twitching under her mask.

Especially when the elven baby even used her hand to tug at her chest armor, as if playing with the sharp angles out of curiosity.

Normally, Eileen would have thrown her out right away.

But now...

"As you command, My King."

Eileen believed that the demon king must have had a reason for doing this.

So, after taking a deep breath, the Succubus obediently let the elven baby move around curiously in her arms and held her quietly.

After handing Lofu over to Eileen, "Shermen, you stay here, too." Reji said softly to the shadow behind him.

"Your Majesty?"

Reji shook his head.

Seeing her king's determined attitude, Shermen emerged from the shadows, revealing her true form as the Shadow Demon Apostle, and silently retreated as well.

It was only then that the elves realized that there was another Apostle hiding among them.

Four whole Apostles!

And they were even more shocked by who Reji was, that he could command four Apostles, and even have one of them, the Shadow Demon Apostle, merge with the shadows to protect him?

And what exactly did Reji want to do now?!

Not only were the elves confused, but the Apostles were also puzzled.

Finally, the lightly dressed Reji took a step forward and approached the elf's elder, Nazha.

Minor matters could be left to subordinates.

But the core issue still had to be handled by him, the Demon King, personally.

"I don't like meaningless casualties."

"Surrender, give up resistance, and I can promise you and your tribe's safety," Reji said to Nazha as he walked.

But obviously, it had no effect.

Instead, it made her spit on the ground, seemingly expressing her contempt.

"Guarantee... safety? Hah! Just with your word?

It seems that the crushing defeat a thousand years ago really dealt a heavy blow to you demons, and a thousand years later, you've started using such low-level tricks."

Nazha replied sarcastically to Reji.

Reji sighed at this.

It didn't matter.

This was expected. If the problem could be solved with words alone, it would be too simple.

Reji didn't say anything more.

His footsteps didn't stop either.

At this scene, the Sorcery Demon Dian, who was watching from the sidelines, slightly furrowed his brow.

Because if the demon king continued to walk forward, he would enter the elven barrier, the "Natural Domain" opened by that woman.

Although Nazha had been suppressed by the Sorcery Demon all along, even Dian would not easily enter someone else's domain. It was a very dangerous act.

The reason why domain techniques were so rare and powerful was that anything was possible within the domain realm. Even if there was a huge difference in power between the two sides, there was still a possibility of an upset under the rules of the domain.

So, the correct approach was to use a more powerful domain, like the Sorcery Demon was doing now, to envelop the opponent's domain and gradually erode it until the energy of the opponent's domain was exhausted.

But now, Reji...

After slightly furrowing his brow, Dian's eyes under the raven mask quickly changed to reveal more and more anticipation.

As soon as Reji stepped into Nazha's Forest domain without stopping, Dian felt a rare excitement in his heart.

'Is his majesty...'

'Going to take the domain personally again?'

'And was he choosing to make the battlefield in someone else's domain, just like before?'

'Did his majesty enjoy letting the enemy go "all out" before crushing them?'

Dian loved research.

Not just magic.

Anything unknown and mysterious was what Dian pursued and explored.

Like...

Their new demon king.

This was also why the Sorcery Demon chose to appear in his "true form" at that time.

So that he could better observe the new demon king.

There was no doubt about the demon king's power, as he was able to crush both the Great Demon and the Sword Demon single-handedly.

But on the other hand, the Wicked Demon would question the demon king, and with Lordan's personality, he wouldn't let his guard down completely. At the very least, he had noticed that something was not quite right about the new demon king.

So, what was the true extent of the demon king's power?

Dian believed that he would get the answer soon.

After all, the Great Demon and the Sword Demon might have held back against the demon king, or there might have been bloodline suppression, or even an element of acting to help the demon king against his kin.

But the elven elder in front of them was the real deal.

From Nazha's hatred for them, it was clear that she would fight with all her might and show no mercy.

So, unlike before, this time it was a true fight to death.

Just as Dian had imagined.

Nazha stared fixedly at Reji, and when she saw him walk straight into her forest domain, a hint of pleasure appeared on her face for the first time.

'Arrogant! Conceited! Proud!'

Nazha thought she understood Reji.

This demon just looked down on her.

He thought that even with the boost from the domain, she was no threat.

But Nazha would show this damned demon how wrong he was and make him pay for underestimating her and for not even sparing the babies with his evil!

A spiritual song echoed within the boundaries of the Forest Domain.

Gusts of wind blew through the forest, swirling up the fallen leaves.

Nazha's body quickly floated up, and leaves danced and spun around her. The poem of the flower song brought the blessings and favor of the natural Fate Track.

Buds grew on the elder's skin, her eyes turned to amber, and her hair turned into willow branches.

The elves were the first to react to this scene.

They looked at their elder, who was rapidly "transforming" in the center of the barrier, with sad and mournful expressions. They knew exactly what Nazha was doing.

It was the elven race's forbidden secret art.

Sacrificing one's own flesh and blood.

In exchange for the favor of the 'Nature Fate Track'.

Transforming oneself into a pure energy body, a pure natural element, becoming a...

Spirit of Nature.

In this state, Nazha was like one with the forest.

The forest was her, and she was the forest.

Six-stage, seven-stage, mid-seven-stage, peak seven-stage, eight-stage!
