Chương 223: Yang Cheng and Frey's Acting Showdown

"A blond elf?"

Yang Cheng looked puzzled, but he already knew the answer in his heart. He understood that the person Frey was talking about was very likely Cagalli.

Or to be more precise, Frey encountered the demon lord Kazalim, who was possessing Cagalli.

As one of the former awakened demon lords, Kazalim was killed by Leon, the Platinum Sword King, one of the current ten demon lords.

However, as a member of the "Demon Undead" race like Clayman, Kazalim can be resurrected even if he possesses a fragment of a soul.

With the help of Yuuki's power, Kazalim was able to be resurrected through Cagalli's body and maintain the state of one body with two souls.

In daily operations, Cagalli takes the lead, which allows for better disguise and is also why Rimuru didn't notice anything unusual when he first met her.

Because the Cagalli that Rimuru saw was indeed Cagalli, and not the Demon Lord Kazarim.

"That elf gave me a strange feeling. Her abilities were very similar to Clayman's. Although her magic power was not strong, she had a very familiar feeling about her."

My intuition tells me that the elf is either the person behind Clayman or their collaborator, and that I chose to be controlled by them in order to learn more.

"" Yang Cheng knew very well that it wasn't that Qazalim looked like Kleiman, but rather that Kleiman looked like Qazalim.

Because Kleiman always regarded Qazalim as his idol, he tried his best to imitate him in terms of speech, behavior and way of doing things.

Although Kazalim was a veteran awakened demon lord, he is currently not very powerful because he was only recently resurrected.

Kleiman's decision to send Kazarim was likely driven by a desire to better control Frey.

After all, the once-awakened Demon King had fallen from grace, but he still possessed a wealth of knowledge and experience.

If it were Milim's acting skills, she might have been exposed in front of the experienced Kazarim.

Fortunately, Frey was able to perfectly handle the acting skills that Milim couldn't.

"I've also made some progress in my investigation regarding Kleiman and the masked demon who appeared in the Jura Forest."

They are an organization called the "Mediocrity Clowns," and you might even know their leader.

The opponent was a member of the undead race like Clayman, and was even one of the former Demon Lords, Demon Lord Kazalim.

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Frey's face instantly showed a look of realization, and she remembered why she felt that the elven aura was familiar.

The aura emanating from that person—wasn't it the former Demon King Kazalim?

Because he had just been resurrected, his magic power was not strong, so the person behind Kleiman was Kazarim.

Frey's mind was racing with thoughts, while her gaze toward Yang Cheng was filled with a strange look.

He sacrificed his dignity and deliberately allowed himself to be controlled and act, and only now has he managed to uncover a little bit about the forces behind Kleiman.

As for Yang Cheng, he was doing just that. He spent his days either loafing around in the Jura Great Forest or flirting with girls in other factions. As a result, he actually got more information than she did!

"Yang Cheng, are you hiding a lot from me?"

Or perhaps your "precognition" ability has recently caused you to dream about fragments of the future again!'

Frey knew very well that Yang Cheng's route these past few days had been nothing more than the Jura Great Forest and the Winged Kingdom Beast Kingdom.

Even a dog wouldn't believe the intelligence he gathers or gathers.

Where did the intelligence come from? The Great Forest of Jura? That's somewhat possible, since that place is still relatively unknown to Frey.

It's impossible for Tianyi Kingdom, because who knows more about the territory I rule than I do?

Needless to say, the Beast Kingdom is a different story. Carion is a muscle-bound guy who doesn't even know that Clayman has someone backing him.

"That—I did foresee some fragments, but it wasn't complete. After all, as you know, the original future" has now been changed.

In short, the Demon Lord Kazarim is not the most troublesome guy; his collaborators are the most dangerous.

You can investigate, but don't get too involved. Prioritize your own safety. Often, the more harmless a person seems, the more dangerous they are.

The two talked for a long time in mid-air, and then Carrion on the ground felt that he couldn't let his good brother, who was an outsider, fight alone, so he also prepared to rush into the clouds.

A violent ripple came from the sky, and a figure fell from the sky like a meteorite!

Yang Cheng fell from the sky like a meteor, leaving a deep chasm in the ground.

When Yang Cheng stood up again from the rubble, he was clearly covered in wounds.

Meanwhile, Frey, who was looking up at the sky, was in much better condition than Yang Cheng, but it seemed that the fierce battle with Yang Cheng had also caused her to consume a lot of magic energy, and her aura was also weak at this moment.

When Carrion saw Yang Cheng's "miserable state", he was undoubtedly furious. His good brother had actually fought so hard for their Beast Kingdom!

Regardless of Frey's condition, she had to give her good brother an explanation for this, otherwise Carrion would definitely fight him to the death.

However, Carrion was stunned when he saw Frey's condition. To be honest, he thought it was already quite remarkable that Yang Cheng could hold out against Frey for so long after her awakening.

But he never expected that Yang Cheng could exhaust Frey to this extent!

It's important to understand that although both awakened demon kings and quasi-demon kings are called demon kings, the difference in their strength is like a real chasm.

His newly sworn brother was clearly much stronger than he had imagined, even far surpassing him.

"Brother Yang Cheng, you've done enough for our Beast Kingdom. Leave the rest to me!"

If Frey is at her peak, Carrion has absolutely no chance.

But Frey is clearly exhausted now, and Carrion might just be able to fight her!

As Carion unleashed his full magical power, a phantom of a giant lion appeared behind him, and a thick beam of magical energy shot out from its gaping maw.

Facing the now fiercely competitive Carrion, Frey, who was "exhausted," was clearly struggling to keep up.

When Kleiman, far away in the puppet state of Gustav, saw this scene through the crystal ball, he angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand on the ground.

"Frei, who is an awakened demon lord, couldn't even defeat that good-for-nothing Carrion."

"Compared to that trash Frey, we should definitely control 'Destruction Tyrant' Milim!"

Faced with Clayman's impotent rage, Tia and Fordman, who were also standing to the side, said, "Clayman, don't underestimate that demon from the Jura Great Forest. It's already quite remarkable that Frey was able to defeat him."

"That's right, that's right. Even when the two of us fought him before, we weren't necessarily able to beat him."

"The opponent is much stronger than both Carrion and you."
