Chương 211: Frey Awakens! Kleiman is shocked.

Kleiman is shocked.

Kleiman is shocked.

The news of the appearance of the Pig-Headed Emperor in the Jura Forest and its subsequent defeat by monsters quickly spread to the surrounding human kingdoms and even to the ears of some demon lord forces.

Beast Kingdom - Yurasania.

When the Demon King Carrion learned that there was a monster in the Jura Forest that could defeat the Orc King, he became quite interested and sent Phoebe, one of the "Three Beast Warriors," to investigate.

They also wanted to see if they could recruit the other party and make them one of the forces of their beast kingdom.

Of the ten Demon Lords, Frey, Carrion, and Clayman are considered rising Demon Lords.

Although there is an agreement among demon lords that they cannot kill each other, friction and competition between forces are commonplace.

Among the three rising stars, he and Kleiman are the strongest, while Frey's power is the weakest.

However, a few days ago he received a tip that there seemed to be a lot of commotion in Tianyi Kingdom.

Rumors even suggest that Sky Queen Frey has now successfully awakened and become one of the awakened demon lords.

There were also people from Tianyi Kingdom who came to seek refuge. Because of their considerable strength, they caught the eye of that woman Frey and have now become the second-in-command of Tianyi Kingdom.

When he received these two messages, Carrion didn't believe the first one about Frey's awakening, but he thought the second one was very likely true.

Carrion was well aware of just how difficult it was for a quasi-Demon Lord to become an Awakened Demon Lord.

Among the three rising stars, he is the strongest overall, followed by Frey, and Kleiman is the weakest.

Even with his talent and background, he estimated that it would take him several hundred years to become an awakened demon king.

Frey is inferior to the others in both aptitude and strength, yet now it's said that she has awakened. Isn't this just a joke?

Compared to Frey's awakening, which involved a powerful demon coming to her door to surrender, this part is more believable.

After all, putting aside factors such as strength and influence, Frey is indeed quite formidable in terms of both figure and looks.

It's not impossible that some lecherous old men would come knocking on the door because of this.

With powerful figures joining the Skywing Kingdom, the Beast Kingdom naturally cannot stand still. That's why Carion sent Phoebe to the Jura Forest to recruit talents.

Puppet Kingdom - Gustav.

In the castle's office, upon hearing the news that Tia and Fordman brought back, Kleiman angrily smashed the desk in front of him with his fist.

Clayman's original plan was to cultivate the Pig-Headed Emperor and then control him using his own abilities.

The goal is to gain greater influence among the ten demon kings.

Unexpectedly, the Demon King's pig-headed emperor was indeed cultivated, but in the end, the one who reaped the rewards was not Clayman, but a slime!

"Yang Cheng, Rimuru—when did so many powerful demons appear in the Jura Forest?!"'

When Clayman learned that his long-planned Orc Emperor had been stolen by Rimuru, a mere slime, he was so enraged that he wanted to lead his team to wipe him out on the spot.

But when he heard Tia tell Fordman that in the Jura Forest, besides the slime that killed the Orc Emperor, there was another undead race that could rival them, Clayman immediately chickened out.

Among the mediocre Jokers, he was ecstatic that the Joker Clayman was the weakest, but he always boasted that he, like that other person, made a living with his brains.

The demon who could rival Tia and Fordman was probably no match for him, and acting rashly would likely only benefit others.

So after some deliberation, Kleiman could only send Tia and Fordman to the Jura Forest to gather intelligence and, if the opportunity arose, sabotage the so-called Monster Federation to prevent it from continuing to grow.

As for Kleiman, as a puppeteer, he naturally needs to find allies who can utilize puppets—or rather, who can cooperate with him.

The opponent is a demon who can rival Tia and the others; ordinary characters are clearly not qualified to become his tools.

The veteran "devil king" looked down on him, Kleiman, and as for the rookie "devil king," Carrion and he had always been at odds.

That leaves only the Sky Queen Frey as the only option.

Compared to Carrion, whose brains are all muscles, Clayman admits that Frey is smart, but in the eyes of the arrogant Clayman, such intelligence is merely petty cleverness.

However, when Clayman, who seemed to have everything under control and was extremely confident that he could bring Frey down with him, arrived in the Skywing Kingdom and was shocked the moment he saw Frey.

The news that Frey had become an awakened demon lord had reached not only Carrion, but also Clayman.

However, like Carrion, Kleiman also treated the news as a rumor and did not pay much attention to it.

Becoming an awakened demon king is no easy feat.

There are countless potential Demon Lords in this world who possess the Demon Lord seed. Not to mention those from afar, Tia, Fordman, and the Orc Emperor are all such characters.

However, how many demons can truly awaken into demon kings?

Even among the "Ten Great Demon Kings," only a handful have truly awakened.

Frey, whose strength is currently inferior to Carrion's, has suddenly awakened. This is completely illogical!

In fact, Frey usually restrains her magical power, but Clayman is no ordinary monster. The moment he saw Frey, he clearly felt the chasm-like gap between them.

Previously, Kleiman was slightly inferior to Frey, but the difference was very limited. It was definitely not the kind of difference where you could clearly feel the danger just by standing in front of the other person.

"It's really unexpected. I didn't expect that among the three of us, the first one to awaken would not be that idiot Carrion, but the most low-key Sky Queen."

But I'm really curious, Frey, how did you manage to do that?

Looking at the surprised Kleiman in front of her, Frey remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was equally unsettled.

Kleiman really did come to him seeking cooperation, which further proves that all the "future" Yang Cheng saw was real!

"Kleiman, if you came here specifically to flatter me or to find out what's going on, I advise you not to waste your time."

Kleiman knew perfectly well that there must be a reason why Frey had suddenly awakened, and he was also very interested in that reason.

However, he also knew very well that Frey would not reveal any information to him.

"Frei, I was quite surprised that you were able to become an awakened demon lord, but I'm not here to cause you trouble or probe your secrets, but to seek cooperation."

"Cooperation? Our relationship isn't as bad as ours with Carrion, but it's not much better, is it?"

"And given your cunning nature, what good is there for us to do together?"

Hearing Frey's blunt sarcasm, a hint of ugliness appeared on Kleiman's face. Now that Frey had become an awakened demon king, he did indeed feel somewhat less confident compared to her.
