The sky was filled with dark clouds.
The crimson rain poured down incessantly.
Emily's simple attire had now turned red from the falling rain.
The scene was painted red by that rain.
"Emilia Braveheart, 26 years old, joined the King's Mark army at the age of 15. At 20, you became the youngest to hold the position of General. You earned numerous medals over ten years of service."
"Left the army, got married, and lived a humble life in her hometown, Dai La City."
"I must say, you truly are..."
Whoosh.
The blade once again swiped past George.
Emily had no time to listen to his nonsense.
Unholda Kaiser might not hold on much longer.
Unholda Kaiser's nickname in the army was the Immortal General.
Because he had faced countless life-and-death situations.
But no matter how enduring he might be, it seemed unlikely he'd survive this time.
She was in a hurry to take her husband for treatment.
George understood this too.
"Don't try anymore, there's no time left."
"His only end now is death."
"I am not heartless; you can stay by his side in his final moments and give him a peaceful death."
Emily, full of anger, swung her sword once more.
"Shut your mouth!"
George calmly evaded.
With every dodge, Emily's next strike grew more deadly and powerful.
Carrying her fury.
She needed to hurry.The longer they delay, the slimmer his chances of survival become.
"Don't try anymore; even if I leave now, where will you take him?"
Cries of panic still echoed from within the fortress.
"Sooner or later, everyone in the city will perish. There's no chance of survival."
"There's no point in being stubborn."
George had no intention of hiding the truth.
To him, the two standing before him were essentially already dead.
He wasn't afraid of anything being revealed.
Emily gritted her teeth.
Her expression betrayed her desire to decapitate the man in front of her in one swift stroke.
She glanced at Unholda Kaiser's body.
Her eyes revealed her vulnerability.
She couldn't bring herself to accept that her husband...
Is there really no other way?
.
.
.
The memory was abruptly cut off.
Unholda Kaiser was dazed.
He lay in a void.
It was so dark.
His eyes could see nothing but endless darkness.Fragments of memory were now sinking into the darkness beside him.
The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
His own body was also sinking.
George, the Inner Demon, was watching his body descend.
That wild smile never left his face.
"You're curious about what happens next, aren't you?"
"What will happen to you, your wife?"
"Do you really need to see it happen? I think you already know the outcome."
"Dai La City is lost. Your wife is lost. Your children are lost. You will become the Demon King that I created."
"That's all there is to the story."
"And now."
George stood right over the sinking Unholda Kaiser.
His hand plunged straight into his heart.
"It's time for me to return."
Thump.
Unholda Kaiser's heart was extracted just like that.
It immediately turned black, oozing thickly.
Then it fused into the body of the Inner Demon.
"It's time for the true Demon King to return."
.
.
.
Ding! Ding! Ding!The event monitoring system of DMG seemed about to explode at this moment.
All the screens turned red.
A notification appeared across the screen.
【The Inner Demon has triumphed.】
【Unholda Kaiser has transformed into the Demon Emperor George】
Director Minh felt a chill down his spine.
What on earth is happening?
.
.
.
The ritual to create the Demon King.
【1. A Vessel Lacking Strong Will, at least a Ninth Level in strength.】
【2. A large number of freshly deceased creatures】
【3. A chant to summon souls to possess the body.】
【4. IMPORTANT: Seal the soul inside.】
【5. Prepare the necessary ingredients: Cloud Vine Grass x1, Demon Toad Eye x3, Sky-Climbing Spider Leg x9, ...etc】
【6...】
The ritual object is gradually burning.
Following that, darkness swallowed the sky.
Even though it was still twilight, the sky looked no different from night.
Countless vengeful spirits were entering the dead body of Unholda Kaiser.
"The first part of the ritual is very similar to creating a zombie."
Bringing the object and numerous vengeful spirits into the body.
However, creating a zombie does not require sealing the soul within the body.
These conditions did not particularly concern George.
Only the final step did.
Unholda Kaiser's body was now floating in mid-air.
The spirits continuously entered his body.
The blood rain from the ground flowed toward his body.
"Truly killing two birds with one stone."
He closed his eyes.
His body suddenly emitted thick, black smoke.
This is the smoke created by Inner Demon.
A person chosen by the gods to become a Hero cannot generate a Dusk Flame of T he Inner Demon.
Because the divine bindings will suppress the Hero's Inner Demon, preventing it from igniting.
That swirling smoke emanated from his body.
Then it drifted toward Unholda Kaiser.
It entered his body through his nose and mouth.
"The final step of the ritual is to pour part of the ritual performer's inner demon into the vessel."
"From now on, the owner's Inner Demon will transform into the Demon King."
"As long as the Inner Demon is large enough, capable of continually dividing, I can create as many Demon Kings as I want."
"From now on, Unholda Kaiser, you will be the vessel for my Inner Demon!!!"
Flame.
The dusk flames surged over Unholda Kaiser's body as it was being transformed.
Then, the flames gradually subsided, turning into a black mist that enveloped his body.
"The god's suppression is truly potent; even the vessel can't generate a Dusk Flame of Inner Demon."
"But it doesn't matter; with this power, he is truly ranks among the Demon Kings!!!"
George laughed gleefully at his creation.
"This world will finally find a worthy ruler, The God Emperor Geogre!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
The fragment of memory shattered once more.
...
"Cough."
"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
"How many years have I been dead?"
"Unexpectedly, I can live once more!!!"
The black flames began to spread from Unholda Kaiser's body.
They started clashing with the Blue Flame.
In some places, they were extinguished; in others, they fused.
This caused the Azure Flame to become much more intense.
"This aura...!"
Lucas, Nightingale, and Giovanni were all astonished.
The Demon Emperor!
Not a Demon King, but a Demon Emperor!
A being far superior to a Demon King!!!
Unholda Kaiser had truly overcome the Dusk Flame, becoming a Demon Emperor!
"Wonderful!!!"
Lucas couldn't help but smile.
The power of a Demon Emperor matches or exceeds that of the Knights of the Far Lands.
Never the slightest inferior."Damn it! More trouble again!!!"
Alex and Liv also sensed that aura. However, they were still confronting Schurke, not daring to lose focus even for a moment.
"This isn't good..."
Aldo hadn't acted yet, but he was able to gather information.
His face turned pale.
"A Demon Emperor in its peak..."
【Lv879 Demon Emperor George】
【Lv880 Demon Emperor George】
【Lv881 Demon Emperor George】
The levels were continuously rising.
Very close to reaching the threshold of a Demon God.
Even stronger than Schurke, who was restraining his power at the moment.
"There is no other choice!!! Alex, Liv! I'll use that spell!"
"If he completes the Sea of Flames, it will be too late by then!"
Aldo gritted his teeth and began chanting the spell.
Alex and Liv were also terrified.
For Aldo to use that spell, the situation was way beyond control.
The initial plan was for them to suppress Lucas and his group.
After that, they would reopen the teleport connection.
The DMG staff would have a way to stop Unholda Kaiser from continuing to draw the sword.
But now, they had no solution to defeat the source blocking the system - Schurke.
If they couldn't reopen the gate, they would have to resort to plan B.
Using Aldo’s secret spell.Schurke also ceased his attack at this moment.
There was no need to farm points any longer.
His system had displayed a notification.
【The Villain Role Completed.】
【Please Temporarily Yield the Stage to the Final Boss of This Event.】
He let out a slight sigh.
In major events, Schurke was always present.
However, the system never allowed him to be the Final Boss.
Even though his strength could far surpass the Final Boss, he was only ever considered a Supporting Villain.
Suddenly, another notification appeared.
【Attention: The Suppression Time of the Teleportation Gate is About to End.】
