Chương 206: The Great Battle of the Jura Forest Erupts!

"You slept for so long this time, you must have gained quite a bit of benefit, right? How far are you from becoming an awakened Demon King?"

Hearing Frey steer the conversation back on track, Rukia and Claire behind her also perked up their ears with great curiosity.

As the strongest named monsters under Freymo, the two of them benefited the most after Freymo's awakening, and their current strength is far greater than before.

Even they didn't spend as long in a coma receiving blessings and transformation as Yang Cheng.

The longer a demon king remains unconscious, the greater the blessings he receives from his direct descendants.

Yang Cheng slept for three days, which means that his connection with Frey was deeper and that he gained more benefits.

Frey was also very concerned about when Yang Cheng would awaken.

After all, as equals who have named each other, once Yang Cheng becomes an awakened demon king, she can also gain a huge boost in strength, just like Yang Cheng is now.

In fact, because Yang Cheng is stronger than her, she will gain even more benefits than Yang Cheng.

And once her magic power increases, Claire and the others, who are her direct descendants of the demon, will naturally become stronger as well.

This is similar to the saying "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"My magic power has increased quite a bit, but it's probably close to the threshold. However, my soul power is still far from sufficient."

In terms of skills and abilities, it seems that it has a very high affinity for wind elements, and also has quite a few wind-attribute skills.

As for this unique skill called "Heavenly Ruler" — As Yang Cheng spoke, he tried out the skill.

Along with a strange sensation in his back, six pairs of wings, just like those of a six-winged beast, quickly sprouted from Yang Cheng's back.

The wings that Yang Cheng previously displayed were intimidating contraptions formed from magical energy.

However, the wings bestowed upon him by this "Heavenly Ruler" are the real deal!

The Celestial Ruler: One who reigns over the sky, increases flight speed, and can influence celestial phenomena within a certain range when consuming a large amount of magic energy.

When Frey heard about the "Heavenly Ruler's" ability, she was somewhat surprised, because the ability that Yang Cheng obtained was almost a replica of the "Queen of Heaven" that she had upgraded after awakening.

Before awakening, Frey's unique skill was that she had absolute air superiority within her own territory.

After awakening, her abilities were upgraded. Now she not only gains air superiority but also has the ability to manipulate celestial phenomena.

Generally speaking, while named monsters can gain some lower-level abilities from the one who named them, they are unlikely to possess core, unique skills.

A unique skill is called a unique skill because it is something that belongs to that person alone.

But Yang Cheng's so-called "Heavenly Ruler" sounds like a lower-level ability of the "Queen of Heaven," or even a substitute ability.

Frey didn't know why this was happening, but she was quite excited about it.

If Yang Cheng can inherit her unique skills, then does that mean that when Yang Cheng awakens, she may also gain similar abilities to Yang Cheng's "precognition"?

Frey didn't expect to be able to foresee the distant future like Yang Cheng; even foreseeing three or five days in advance would be an incredibly powerful ability.

"Is it just a lack of soul power? That's not a big problem. I can have Claire and the others slaughter some humans to help you collect enough soul power."

Frey was quite pleased to hear that Yang Cheng's awakening only lacked soul power.

In her view, the soul power offered as a sacrifice was the easiest thing to deal with.

Unlike Rimuru, who was human before his reincarnation and therefore has a great affinity and tolerance for humans.

In the eyes of monsters like Frey, humans are nothing more than a weak and insignificant race, and slaughtering them is as commonplace as killing chickens and dogs.

The Ten Demon Kings have an agreement to avoid large-scale conflicts with humans as much as possible, but that's all they'll do.

Just as human adventurers hunt monsters, monsters will naturally attack humans from time to time.

As long as it's done discreetly enough, other demon lords probably won't bother with it. Just like Demon Lord Clayman, there are probably quite a few lives lost at his hands.

Don't be fooled by Frey's curvaceous figure and beautiful appearance into thinking she's easy to talk to. Remember, in the eyes of humans, she is one of the ten most infamous demon kings.

The number of humans who died at his hands may not be as many as other demon lords, but it is certainly no less.

To replenish the soul power needed for awakening by slaughtering humans, given Yang Cheng's lack of numbers, it would probably require slaughtering an entire human superpower.

Yang Cheng isn't as saintly as Rimuru, but he couldn't bring himself to slaughter an innocent kingdom without any moral compass.

If it were like the Kingdom of Falmus in the story, which provoked Rimuru, Yang Cheng would naturally take action without hesitation. After all, if someone has already hit you in the face, trying to avoid killing them in the battle would be nothing short of saintly.

However, Yang Cheng would not engage in the kind of reckless slaughter that Ainz Ooal Gown would do for his own purposes.

"As an undead, my awakening requires a huge amount of soul power, and I also need some high-quality soul power, which ordinary human souls may not be able to provide."

I've already decided on my target. Demon King Clayman probably has the most subordinates, so I'll use the monsters from his puppet kingdom as nourishment for my awakening.

Kleiman would become their enemy sooner or later, and Yang Cheng planned to use the monsters under his command as nourishment. Frey thought it was appropriate, so she didn't say anything more.

Because Frey had been asleep for three days after her awakening, Yang Cheng was somewhat worried about the situation in the Jura Great Forest. Since he had also achieved his goal of cooperating with the Sky Queen, Yang Cheng led hundreds of winged people from the Skywing Kingdom back to the Jura Great Forest that afternoon.

As for the Jura Forest, after confirming the appearance of the Pig-Headed King, the fearful monsters in the Jura Forest also chose to huddle together for warmth.

At the recommendation of the dryads, Rimuru became the commander-in-chief of the monster alliance, and in order to resist the orcs, Rimuru also sought help from the armed nation of Dwargon.

However, even with the combined strength of many parties, the pig-headed tribe still had an overwhelming numerical advantage.

When the Orc King was no match for Rimuru, it devoured the Orc General and the chattering demon Kermit, directly evolving into the Demon Lord-type monster Orc Emperor!

Rimuru entrusts the care of the Great Sage to the "Predator" versus the "Hunger." According to the plot, after a long and drawn-out battle, Rimuru should emerge victorious and obtain the Demon Lord seed.

Just as Rimuru enveloped the Orc Lord's body and was wrestling with him, the previously angry clown Fordman and the tearful clown Tia reappeared.

Upon seeing Fordman and Tia, Benimaru and the others, seeing each other as sworn enemies, rushed forward with intense hatred.
