Chương 256: The mask has been torn off, the battle of the Demon King begins!

Even though Ultimar's strength had significantly improved compared to before, she still felt extremely strained in the face of the demonic pressure released by Guy.

But she was, after all, one of the original demons, the progenitor of purple. Even when faced with pressure, the proud her would not obediently submit.

After glancing at the stubborn Ultima and the intimidating Dark Emperor Guy, Yang Cheng sighed and finally stood up to block Ultima's path.

As an equally astonishing pressure was released from his body, the pressure released by Qi Yi was directly neutralized and vanished into nothingness.

Seeing Yang Cheng dare to stand up and confront Qi Yi head-on, many demon kings who did not know Yang Cheng before also became quite interested in him.

Who is Guy? The earliest primordial demon, along with Milim and Ramiris, the oldest demon to create the Demon King's Feast.

It was a battle between him and Milim that nearly destroyed the entire world.

If we were to rank the strongest people in this world, Guy would not only be on the list, but he would definitely be among the top.

Faced with such a Qi Yi, Yang Cheng, a previously unknown novice demon king, dared to choose to confront him head-on, which naturally surprised many of the other demon kings present.

Carrion felt that Yang Cheng was indeed a brother he trusted, as he remained loyal to both his friends and his subordinates.

Frey, who had always been the best actress, showed a slight ripple in her usually calm expression when she saw Yang Cheng and Qi Yi clashing.

You have to understand that Guy is not the same as a third-rate demon lord like Clayman. If she really angers him, she, Yang Cheng, and Rimuru might not be able to defeat Guy.

Although they are both awakened demon lords, among demon lords, Guy and Milim are definitely unconventional. Ramiris and Milim, who have a good relationship with Yang Cheng, were about to speak up for Yang Cheng when they saw the scene in front of them. However, the previously arrogant Dark Emperor suddenly withdrew his aura and terrifying magic.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Yang Cheng became quite interesting, and then he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Zi, it seems you've found a rather good master."

"Your name is Yang Cheng, right? You remain unfazed even in the face of my intimidation. It seems you're either ignorant and fearless, or you have enough confidence to back it up. I'm starting to take an interest in you."

Yang Cheng was speechless at Qi Yi's domineering remarks.

However, he was also well aware that the Dark Emperor's personality was simply so capricious.

When the future demon kings fought against Yuuki and the mediocre clown, Guy easily defeated them, but then, finding it amusing, let them all escape.

"Hmph, even without that idiot Yang Cheng, even if I couldn't win, I wouldn't die in a place like this!"

Despite her continued stubbornness, Ultimar, who had misjudged Guy's strength, knew in her heart that if Yang Cheng hadn't stepped forward, she wouldn't have been able to escape from the Primal Red on her own.

Not to mention that besides the Primal Red, it also has the Primal Blue and Primal Green, who have become its minions.

Moreover, although her attitude remained arrogant, the scene of Yang Cheng standing up for her just now still stirred up Ultima's heart.

Kleiman, standing to the side, looked regretful that he hadn't seen Guy make a move against Yang Cheng.

If Yang Cheng, as Rimuru's accomplice, could be eliminated by Guy, then Yang Cheng's pressure would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

According to the original plan, Clayman intended to join forces with Frey and take the opportunity to attack Rimuru and his companion.

This way, they could not only bring the monster forces of the Jura Forest under their control, but also build momentum for themselves at the Demon King's Feast.

But the current situation is somewhat beyond his initial expectations. The strength that Yang Cheng and Rimuru have shown far exceeds the information he initially obtained.

However, just as Clayman was pondering a solution, he and Tia suddenly contacted him through communication magic.

As for the content, it's quite simple: his territory, the puppet state of Gustav, has been attacked by an army of monsters!

And the ones attacking their territory were none other than those rural monsters from the Jura Forest!

Since Clayman did not control Milim this time, the Forgotten Dragon City did not participate in the battle.

Without the Dragon Citizens of Dragon City and the powerful assistance of priests like Midore, Clayman's puppet state, Gustav, was already struggling to withstand just one wave of attacks.

According to Fordman and the others, they had previously encountered Benimaru and Geralt, and their strength has now increased dramatically.

In addition to the Jura Forest, people from the Beast Kingdom also took advantage of the situation to invade.

Even the "Storm Demon Calamity" they summoned using one of the "Five Fingers," Yamsa, was instantly defeated by Benimaru.

You should know that the same "Great Demonic Storm" almost drove the entire Demon Kingdom Federation to the brink of destruction before, and even Rimuru was somewhat helpless against it.

But this troublesome being, comparable to a quasi-demon king, was easily defeated by that slime's subordinate!

"Index Finger" Aardman, a necromancer in the form of a skeleton, decides to change his faith after losing to Shuna and begins to fanatically worship Yangcheng, whom he has never met.

Because Shuna, being a demon, not only used holy magic of the faith type, but also, according to her, Lord Yosei is also a top being among the undead, and simultaneously possesses both holy and demonic powers.

Upon hearing this, Aardman, who was originally a priest of the church, felt as if he had met his own sage, and was so excited that he chose to switch sides without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Clayman, who was in the midst of the Demon King's feast, heard one piece of bad news after another. His previously elegant demeanor vanished, replaced by an angry glare at Rimuru.

"You slime, how dare you take advantage of my presence at the Demon King's feast, teaming up with the monsters of the Beast Kingdom to attack my Gustav!"

Seeing the furious Clayman, Rimuru calmly shrugged and said, "I really don't understand what you have to be angry about."

What I'm doing now is nothing more than an eye for an eye. You were the one who instigated the Kingdom of Falmus and the Western Holy Church to attack our Demon Kingdom Federation, weren't you, Clayman?

Denial is useless, because Miss Myullan, the "ring finger" under your command, has already confessed everything.

And there's something else, which I think you might be mistaken about. We didn't attack Gustav while you were away; we didn't intend to let you, the instigator, go either. That's why we came to this Demon King's feast!

As Rimuru finished speaking, a bolt of black lightning shot towards Clayman!

Upon seeing the black lightning approaching with an aura of destruction, Kleiman immediately used dark magic to create a magic element shield to defend against it.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and underestimated Rimuru's strength. The black lightning struck his magic shield, slamming him against the wall.
