Chương 253: The Open and Covert Struggles at the Demon King's Feast

Among the Ten Demon Kings, their strength varies greatly. Some are the oldest Demon Kings, some are veteran awakened Demon Kings, and some are even up-and-coming Demon Kings who have not yet awakened.

Leaving aside awakened demon lords, there are actually quite a few quasi-demon lord monsters in this world that have not yet awakened.

Frey, Carrion, and Kleiman, these rising stars, are qualified to sit at the same table with them, naturally because of their own fame and the fact that they were recommended by others.

It is unknown who recommended Kleiman, but Kallion was favored by Guy, who believed that he had a good chance of awakening within a few hundred years, so he recommended him to become one of the ten demon kings.

Frey became one of the Demon Lords because of Milim's recommendation.

Simply put, the Demon Lords can recommend promising juniors, and as long as the juniors' strength is recognized by the other Demon Lords, they can become one of the Demon Lords.

At the beginning, the Demon King's feast only had Guy, Milim and Ramiris. The number of Demon Kings continued to increase because the three of them kept recruiting people.

Just like Leon, who is standing in front of Guy now, was someone Guy once favored and invited to become the Demon King.

Leon was once a "hero" and even received the elven blessing of Ramiris, but he seemed to be searching for something, which ultimately led to his fall and transformation into a demon king.

Guy has always admired Leon greatly, and even said that if he were to be defeated by Leon at the Demon King's Feast, he would lend a helping hand as long as Kairi called for help.

"You think I'm no match for that kind of slime?"

Leon, who had initially seemed indifferent, turned around and spoke when he heard Guy's words.

"No, I don't think he's that great. He can keep a character like Kleiman around for so long."

But the fact that his close friend was simultaneously recommended by Milim, Ramiris, Frey, and Carrion to become the Demon Lord is something that interests me quite a bit.

Carrion and Frey were one thing, but Milim and Ramiris, when they approached him before, spoke highly of this person named Yang Cheng.

This was the first time he had ever seen a newcomer recommended by four demon kings at the same time.

Although Milim and Ramiris are both personalities, they sometimes recommend others based solely on their own preferences.

Despite their willful nature, the two were aware of the seriousness of the term "Demon King." So, even though they hadn't met Yang Cheng yet, Qi Yi had already developed a strong interest in him.

With the Demon King's feast about to begin, Guy's two maids began to guide the Demon King to the banquet venue one after another.

For other demon lords, the so-called Demon King's Feast is a gathering held every hundred years or so.

It's said that this Demon King's feast will be quite entertaining, so when they received the notification, the Demon Kings didn't dawdle as usual, but rushed to the scene to watch the spectacle.

"Dark Emperor" Guy and "Platinum Sword King" Leon were already in the castle, so they took their seats first.

Next to enter were "Destruction Tyrant" Milim and "Sleeping Ruler" Dino, the former angelic demon king.

Next came the giant demon king, known as "Dagriul the Wrath of the Earth".

Valentine, the demon king of the vampire clan, known as the "King of Blood".

"Puppet Master" Kleiman and "Sky Queen" Frey were present together.

When he saw the two walking together, "The Lion King" Carrion, who had arrived earlier, slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

He had sensed something was wrong with Frey when she attacked his Beast Kingdom, and now seeing Frey walking meekly behind the smug Clement, Carrion was even more certain of his suspicions.

"Lord Carrion, please calm down. Freyja is a close friend of Lady Milim. If she is truly controlled by Clement, the Tyrant of Destruction will not stand idly by."

Alvin, who was also participating in the meeting as a guard, quietly reminded the agitated Carion.

The Demon King's Feast has a rule that a Demon King participating in the feast can bring a maximum of two bodyguards or attendants.

Most of the demon lords present came alone, but Clayman and Carrion were already prepared for a fight, and the more people the better, so they naturally brought their followers.

When Frey appeared, the Demon Lords present looked at her with surprise in their eyes.

Leaving aside Carrion and Milim, who had just met Frey not long ago, the other Demon Lords were seeing Frey for the first time after her awakening.

In fact, not to mention the other Demon Lords, even Carrion and Milim, who knew about Frey's awakening, showed surprise on their faces when they saw Frey again.

Because they could clearly sense that although it hadn't been long since Frey's last awakening, the Frey in front of them had become much stronger!

"Frei, it's only been a short time since I last saw you, and you've gotten even stronger."

And why are you with that guy Kleiman? Didn't you always hate him?

Because she had a good relationship with Frey, Milim warmly greeted her when she saw Frey become stronger again.

However, Milim soon noticed that Frey was not doing well; not only were her eyes glazed over, but she was also unresponsive to her calls.

"Klayman, it's you, you bastard! You must have used some underhanded methods to control Frey, right?!"

Seeing that her friend did not respond, Milim glared angrily at Clement, who was standing next to Frey, and exuded a terrifying magical aura, clearly ready to fight.

"Qiyi, we came to the Demon King's feast because we trust you."

If I remember correctly, demon lords are forbidden from fighting each other, right? But now Milim is planning to attack me. As the host of this banquet, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?

Kleiman had long anticipated that this situation would arise, with Frey, who was under his control, attending the Demon King's Feast.

"It's true that demon lords are forbidden from fighting each other, but didn't you attack Frey first?"

Although Guy appeared relaxed, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Kleiman was unfriendly.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that Kleiman was using him as a shield to keep Milim in check.

"Of course I didn't lay a hand on Frey; she voluntarily submitted to me as my subordinate."

If you don't believe me, you can try to break the curse seal controlling Frey.

Kleiman was quite confident in his methods; after all, the control collar that controlled Frey was a masterpiece he and Lord Kazarim had created together.

Without concrete evidence, Guy, for the sake of his reputation, would not allow anyone to break the rules he had set.

"You're talking nonsense! Frey has already awakened. With her magic power, she could easily take on several of you. How could she possibly let a third-rate piece of trash like you be her subordinate?"

Faced with Milim's taunts, even the self-proclaimed elegant Kleiman almost lost his composure, but just as he was about to say something...

As another portal appeared, Qi Yi's maid, Primordial Blue, also appeared with Yang Cheng and the others.
