Amaymon watched Shesi's body continuously transform.
"Good! As expected of the demon I've taken a liking to!"
Shesi rolled his eyes.
"Please, that's very easy to misunderstand, alright? I don't want 'man on man' on top of that."
Then Shesi continued to charge forward, the dirt beneath his feet instantly cracking, followed by a continuous barrage of attacks. However, what made Shesi frown was that Amaymon not only blocked all the attacks but seemed to do so with some ease?
Shesi sped up his attacks, but no matter how much Shesi increased his speed, Amaymon could always keep up. Just as Shesi's uppercut was dodged by Amaymon, the latter directly repelled Shesi with a palm strike.
After stabilizing himself, Shesi fearfully touched his abdomen. Just now... he was slapped once? But why did it feel like... he was going to die?
Shesi started sweating from his back. It seemed he had underestimated the 13 Crowns a bit... he had been overconfident.
Shesi once again looked solemnly at Amaymon and bowed deeply.
"Please guide me."
Shesi charged again, but this time it wasn't a simple charge; he began to utilize the magical knowledge in his mind.
"[Gravity] [Flame] [Ice Seal]" Shesi used gravity to restrict Amaymon's movements, then immediately imbued his fists with flame magic, and ice began to appear at Amaymon's feet, freezing Amaymon's feet... Eventually, Shesi lay on the grass, marveling at the blue sky. As for the grass... it was the result of the battle just now, which had destroyed all the surrounding forest, revealing the lawn.
Shesi lay on it, covered in bruises. Amaymon seemed to have struck with great precision, but Shesi still couldn't sit up, so... "How did I defeat Baal back then?" Shesi couldn't help but ask himself. Logically, Baal's combat skills shouldn't be inferior to Amaymon's. Even if he... even if he unleashed that person's power, it shouldn't be...
Just as Shesi was lost in thought, Amaymon walked over with two drinks. Shesi reluctantly reached out and took one. Several Star Moon Wolves ran over, rubbing against Shesi, seemingly trying to curry favor.
Shesi snorted at the sight, seemingly watching the few fawning little wolves, but his hand still couldn't resist petting a few of their heads. You have to admit, the little things were really cute.
While Shesi was still immersed in the gentle embrace of the wolf pups, Iruma's side was experiencing this:
"My name is Asmodeus Alice, Lord Iruma's [Right-Hand Man] and his [Spear]! A promotion test specifically for High-Rankers! When I heard that Lord Iruma was going to challenge the [Skala], my heart surged like raging waves! Then, Lord Iruma even summoned me as an assistant; the shock and joy at that moment were truly inexpressible! Moreover, the test content is to [establish and rule a Doer Tribe settlement]! For Lord Iruma, who is destined to become the Demon King, what a fitting test this is! And I, as Lord's left and right arm, will surely support Lord Iruma's great undertaking! I will absolutely make Lord Iruma the King of this settlement!"
Thinking of this, Azu was about to ignite with passion.
"Hey! Are you listening? You, the shiny guy over there!" Nova said, looking at the ambitious Azu.
"I heard you. The food warehouse and the bathhouse, the right side is for guests, and the left side is for residents, right?" Azu said, pointing to several tents.
"Good, as long as you're listening..."
Iruma continued to observe his surroundings and suddenly saw a huge tent.
"Nova, what's that over there?"
Nova heard him and explained,
"That's the training hut. Everyone goes there for moisture identification, music appreciation, and even training to make subtle footsteps, all to prepare for... a good workplace in the future, starting from a young age."
"Training... In that case, we've delayed Nova's... training."
Nova was stunned for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether I train or not... Oh, why am I telling you all this? Let's go quickly."
Azu looked at Nova, who was riding on Iruma's head.
Nova, one of only two in this tribe who oppose Lord Iruma becoming king... and he even spoke wildly, disrespecting Lord Iruma, and even acted so rudely towards Lord Iruma... And Lord Iruma actually... indulged him! I! Cannot allow it!
Azu looked at Clara.
"Idiot Clara, you know what we need to do, right?" Azu asked Clara.
Clara paused, then suddenly understood.
"So it's like 'dong peng peng —' and 'pa —' 'rumble rumble,' right?"
Azu nodded after hearing her.
"That's roughly it."
"What the hell is that? What kind of gibberish is that?!" Nova complained.
Azu then explained a lot, but Nova didn't quite understand.
"You understand now, right?!"
"All I know is that you're not quite right in the head!"
Nova sighed and then waved his hand.
"I'm going back to my tent. You guys go back to the guest tent too! Absolutely! Do not follow me!"
Upon hearing this, the three originally didn't care much, but if you say it like that...
"Excuse us ~" x 3
"Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
"We thought you wanted us to follow you closely," the three's expressions didn't seem fake, after all, storybooks and games all say that, and then it triggers a plot or imparts peerless martial arts.
"Are your ears all broken?!" Nova complained, slapping his forehead.
"By the way, you have so many books here," Iruma said as soon as he entered, seeing a huge bookshelf filled with various books.
"History books, medicine, astrology, everything... and they've definitely been opened many times; they're all very old."
"They're all my books, but they're all either picked up or given by others..." Nova explained.
"But, the Doer Tribe has excellent hearing, right? Is there still a need to practice magic and learn other knowledge?" Azu asked.
"There is a need!" Nova immediately retorted loudly.
"For the future of the Doer Tribe, those things are essential... absolutely indispensable..."
Iruma heard him.
"Nova, what you just said to the Chief, 'We can't let others think we are only a tribe with excellent hearing,' that..."
"It's exactly as it sounds. The Doer Tribe's hearing is amazing, and I deeply respect and am proud of the various tribes who live everywhere utilizing this ability. But precisely because of this, I don't want to accept the current situation, where our amazing ability is interpreted as a survival method limited to serving High-Ranker demons. For the sake of outsiders, we should use these abilities on ourselves, shouldn't we? If our magic storage is low, we can refine our skills. If we lack knowledge, we can learn. Even if our Doer Tribe doesn't rely on other demons, we can stand on our own. I just... want to prove that point..."
