The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 136: Seven Great Demon Kings in Peril

In the end, Xiya had to tie up the obedient Lynn and leave him aside, with the promise of a reward to be given later in the evening.

Vivian and Catherine went to discuss warrior basic education, while Xiya had to look after two children; even the two cats were used as props.

This household seemed lively, but ultimately, it appeared as though only Lynn was idle, although he wasn’t truly idle, he had just finished work and returned home.

The idle game wasn’t unplayable, but Lynn wasn’t very fond of it; he still found it more enjoyable when there was something to do.

But right now indeed, there wasn’t anything serious to do; he wasn’t much help with the things they’re busy with.

If only someone could give him a daily quest right now, that would be great; although back when games had this feature, he protested loudly that gaming companies were inconsiderate, treating players like fools.

But when you’re bored, this thing is undeniably a good way to kill time.

There’s a saying: as you think by day, so you dream by night...

Just as Lynn was feeling melancholy and fiddling with the vines wrapped around him, the Demon Mirror, which had just reacted once before, sent out a disturbance from within his Spatial Ring.

Lynn sank into his thoughts and looked over, finding the mirror surface didn’t display any text message, but the Demon Mirror kept vibrating, with a considerable magnitude.

Is someone... no, is some demon calling him?

Outside, Xiya was earnestly tutoring the two little ones; Lynn casually freed himself from the vine restraints, silently sneaking into a deeper room.

Once he returned to his master bedroom, he took out the vibrating mode Demon Mirror from the Spatial Ring.

Skillfully, he injected a bit of magic power into the Demon Mirror; before long, the surface, which previously reflected his handsome visage, changed into a familiar demonic face.

"Proud Demon King Ilya Murphy, greetings to the Demon Emperor."

The masked beauty on the other side seemed very polite, yet Lynn heard no sign of respect in her tone; if it weren’t for her addressing him as ’Sir’, Lynn would have thought she was speaking to a subordinate.

"Anything you need?"

Lynn didn’t mind her attitude; her behavior was probably part of the ’demon setting’, if a Proud Demon King weren’t proud, that would truly be odd.

"Lynn sir, I’ve received the message you entrusted with Phantom. Originally, my six sisters and I could have waited for your availability to invite you to the Demon Realm; however, there has been an unexpected situation recently, so I contacted you specifically. I hope the Demon Emperor can come to the Demon Realm within three days, or else we may see war break out between our two realms, not to mention, our sisters’ positions will be unstable. "

Proud Demon King Ilya spoke to Lynn with a stoic expression, her words full of urgency, yet she didn’t even use the word "sir", not only lacking sincerity, actually making it sound like it was his honor to be working for her.

"What’s the unexpected situation? So urgent?"

Upon hearing the situation described by the Proud Demon King, Lynn frowned, he’d only enjoyed a few days of peaceful life, why was the Demon Race up to mischief again, couldn’t he just peacefully flirt and build a harem, after all he’d contributed so much to the Divine Protection Continent, wasn’t he entitled to enjoy his youth?

"Starting a few days ago, my race’s clansmen and demonized creatures have experienced a slight power increase out of thin air. Originally this was only a change in the mid to lower levels, yet in these past one or two days, this power change has already affected the high-tier demons."

Upon saying this, Proud Demon King Ilya paused, then reached over to press the surface of her Demon Mirror. Lynn was about to ask why she was touching his side of the mirror, when suddenly some words appeared on his mirror’s surface.

Ilya Murphy.

Profession: Dark Divine Mage.

Tier: Demon King.

Current Level: 750.

Although the information wasn’t extensive, after reading it, Lynn couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

The fact that this generation’s Proud Demon King changed from a Ghost Warrior to a Dark Divine Mage didn’t surprise him; what surprised him was Ilya’s level.

If the Continent Alliance’s intelligence personnel weren’t just loafing around, the Proud Demon King Ilya’s level should only be slightly over 700 at this moment, at most around 710; yet the level displayed on the mirror was a full 750.

Although for Lynn, a 750-level Demon King was merely a bigger grasshopper, the level increased this much in such a short time, which even at his peak, he couldn’t upgrade this fast, even now at 999 level, he’d still struggle to boost a 700-level player to 750 in just a few days.

"Just yesterday, I suddenly rose from level 704 to 750, my six sisters also experienced the same, they’ve all reached level 750, without exception."

Proud Demon King Ilya spoke with half seriousness about the changes in herself and those around her.

"Isn’t it a good thing that your power has increased? Could it be... damn, won’t those old folks also..."

"The Demon Emperor’s guess is correct; just today, all the Demon Race Dukes and Legion Commanders have experienced varying degrees of power increase, leading to thirty new Peak Demon Marshals emerging within a day. This already constitutes enough power to overthrow our sisters’ rule, and they’re not even the main concern; the key issue is... just now, two ancient Grand Dukes broke through the barrier of level 900, becoming Demon Race Demigods! "

Upon saying this, even the calm and proud Ilya couldn’t help but take a deep breath; her earlier claim of the sisters’ unstable positions was an optimistic view, if it weren’t for being backed by the Guardian Demon God, they’d have been dethroned during the earlier mass emergence of Peak Demon Marshals.

In any case, the seven sisters were the favored ones of the Guardian Demon God, who was on the same tier as the Destruction Demon God, all were the Late Emperor’s appointed successors to the Demon King; unless possessing overwhelming power, the Lower Realm Demons usually wouldn’t dare openly revolt and usurp.

However, the emergence of Demon Race Demigods still heightened their danger level immensely; although the Demon Realm didn’t stipulate that the Demon King position must be filled by the strongest, Demon Race Demigods did possess the privilege of standing before the king without bowing, standing as equals.

This meant, from today onward, the Demon Realm’s Seven Great Demon Kings would become Seven Great Demon Kings plus two Great Peer Kings.

This situation actually occurred in every generation, but through the ages, the Demon Kings were always the strongest under the Demon Emperor, even if there were demons of the same rank as kings, there still lay significant strength disparity, and the real power always remained firmly in the hands of the Seven Great Demon Kings.

Ilya and her six sisters originally held the Demon King position with a barely fitting 700-level power; practically, it was somewhat unworthy, over half of the authority was external.

Well, now they’ve all stepped halfway to the Peak Saint Tier, yet ahead of them, the previously sparse obstacles suddenly multiplied to dozens.

Moreover, above those obstacles, now hover two major threatening dragons.

Seven Great Demon Kings, danger!
