Chương 212: He was punched away by a loli!

"Frei, I've heard before that you seem to have been trying to recruit the Tengu clan from the Jura Forest, but you've been unsuccessful, right?"

Now that you have become an awakened Demon King, among the Ten Demon Kings, the territory and power you control are still the weakest. Don't you have even the slightest thought of expanding your power?

Previously, Kleiman was quite confident that he could persuade Frey to cooperate.

But now that Frey has become an awakened demon king, her confidence has grown, and Kleiman can only prepare for a huge financial loss.

"As everyone knows, because of the sudden disappearance of the Storm Dragon Magic Essence, everyone is now eyeing that territory."

Those veteran demon lords might not intervene, but it's hard to say about Carrion. Rather than fighting to the death, we might as well cooperate.

I can provide intelligence and most of the combat power, and afterwards I only need the two demons there as my subordinates.

"I can give you all the remaining monsters, and even the territory of the Jura Forest. That's a pretty generous offer, isn't it?"

Kleiman wasn't particularly interested in territory in the Jura Forest; as for small monsters, he had plenty of them.

The reason I trained Pighead Emperor was simply to supplement my own "ten fingers".

Although the Orc Lord is gone now, Rimuru, who was able to defeat him, and Yojiro, who is able to rival Tia and the others, are undoubtedly better targets to control.

Kleiman's unique skill is called "Manipulator," which allows him to easily manipulate beings with magic power levels lower than his own.

He has many demons under his command, but he has never considered the issue of loyalty, because he can simply use his abilities to forcibly control them.

"I've heard about what happened in the Jura Forest before. The pig-headed emperor that appeared there must have been your doing, right?"

Unfortunately, no one expected that even the Pig-Headed Emperor would eventually be defeated by the mysterious monster that appeared there.

One of the two demons you want to leave is probably the one who defeated the Pig-Headed Emperor, right?

With my current strength, even without cooperating with you, I am capable of flattening the Jura Forest, so why would I cooperate with you and benefit you?

Kleiman had originally planned to use Carrion's presence there as a threat to Frey, but now he thought about it again. Frey had already awakened, so what was Carrion compared to her?

"Even if you have the ability to flatten the Jura Forest by yourself, you can't guarantee that the monsters there will submit to you, can you?"

After all, you don't have the ability to manipulate others like I do.

And Frey, you don't think that now that you've awakened, you can easily defeat me, do you?

I may not be your match individually, but I have other forces behind me, forces that rival or even surpass the power of an awakened demon king!

Kleiman hadn't really wanted to reveal his trump card too early, but Frey's awakening was indeed unexpected. Now he had to show something, otherwise he wouldn't be able to intimidate her.

When Frey heard Kleiman's words, her expression was noncommittal, but she was secretly delighted.

Even in the "future" that Yang Cheng told her, Kleiman never revealed the person behind her until the moment she died.

But now, because of her awakening, she might have a chance to uncover the secrets behind Kleiman!

"If you truly possess power comparable to an awakened demon king, I wouldn't mind cooperating with you."

In the Jura Forest, on the Monster Federation side, Rimuru has not yet awakened, so the country has not yet been officially established.

However, thanks to the tireless work of tens of thousands of pigmen day and night, the original goblin village has gradually grown into a town.

To facilitate trade, Rimuru also plans to build roads and cultivate relationships with human merchants from neighboring countries through the passing adventurers.

As the leader of the Monster Federation, Rimuru is extremely busy every day, and with the help of the "Great Sage," he replicates some things from modern society in this other world.

Yang Cheng, on the other hand, was a completely idle position. Apart from eating, drinking, sleeping, and enjoying the care of cute girls, he spent his days training rookies like Hong Wan.

"Lord Yangcheng, Lady Frey hopes you will return. She says she has something she would like to discuss with you."

A female Skywing Clan member descended from the sky. Looking at the Oni Clan members who had been defeated by Yang Cheng, she was surprised by the strength of the Demon Federation, but also respectfully reported to Yang Cheng.

At first, Yang Cheng wondered why Frey wanted him to make a special trip there. But when he arrived in Tianyi Kingdom, he felt a terrifying amount of demonic energy lurking within the kingdom.

Almost as soon as Yang Cheng flew over the territory of Tianyi Kingdom, he felt an almost suffocatingly powerful aura lock onto him!

And almost immediately, Yang Cheng felt what a real threat of death was!

"Armament Haki: Hardening! Iron Body! Zero Boundary Azure Flame!"

In the instant he instinctively sensed danger, Yang Cheng pushed his defensive capabilities to the limit, even using his powerful move, the Free Technique, without reservation.

Almost the instant he used his power, a petite figure suddenly shot out from the castle of the Skywing Kingdom.

The opponent's high-speed flight even created an air barrier. With the speed of a comet rushing forward, the opponent arrived in front of Yang Cheng in the blink of an eye and threw a punch at him.

Although it was just a seemingly ordinary punch, Yang Cheng could sense that if he didn't take any action, this punch alone could kill him!

"Lost Paradise!"

Using Armament Haki and Iron Body, and then enveloping his fist in Azure Flame, Yang Cheng unleashed the same punch at the moment, facing the newcomer.

"boom!"

At the very moment the fists collided, the atmosphere within hundreds of meters around them seemed to be instantly transformed into a vacuum, unleashing an extremely powerful shockwave.

The powerful shockwave created a small-scale air tremor, causing the people of Tianyi Kingdom to rush out anxiously to see what had happened.

The attacker was unharmed by the punch, but Yang Cheng, who had clearly used multiple abilities, was sent flying dozens of meters away like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing that Yang Cheng had taken his punch without even getting hurt, and was only sent flying dozens of meters, the attacker was clearly stunned for a moment, and then a more interested look appeared on his face.

Yang Cheng, who was sent flying, hadn't been able to identify who the other person was because they were moving too fast.

But now, he could see quite clearly the person who had just punched him dozens of meters away.

She is a petite and beautiful girl who is less than 1. 5 meters tall, with pink hair in twin tails and little clothing on her body. Unlike Frey, she has no assets and is extremely voluptuous!
