Chapter 88 – Chapter 85 – Succession Ceremony
When the preparations for the long-awaited succession ceremony were over, Elder Il moved his steps somewhere with excitement.
I thought as I heard the sound of my feet stepping on the stone steps.
The long awaited moment has arrived.
When the demon king died of natural causes 30 years ago, I never dreamed that it would take this long to resurrect him.
It was the first time that the seat of the Demon King had been vacant for such a long period of time, even in the history of the Demon Realm.
That’s why, during the long hiatus, various rebels ran amok and tried to gain power in the vacant seat.
Now, if the demon king returns, he will be able to eradicate all the rebels and regain the power and honor that his council and nobles should have enjoyed.
The demon king, who had existed since the beginning of the civilization of the demon realm, established a council, appointed nobles to become his kinsfolk, and left his descendants, the royal family.
The council, the nobility, and the royal family made their respective oaths for the demon king.
The council made an oath to hold a ceremony to resurrect the demon king.
The aristocrats swore an oath to be loyal to the reawakened demon king and forever dedicated their armies, and the royal family swore an oath to provide the resurrected demon king’s vessel.
It was each force that had repeatedly assisted the demon king for over several thousand years, but eventually a problem arose.
Nobles and royalty, except for the parliament, the two forces tried to break the oath, or could not keep it.
Many aristocrats rebelled to prevent the demon king from resurrecting any more by turning the forces that were to be used as the demon king’s hands and feet in reverse after a long period of time had passed since the demon king’s death.
If the demon king did not wake up again, the nobles would not have to keep their oath, so they took advantage of the death of the demon king to rebel.
The royal family’s problem was that they could no longer provide a vessel with high-purity magical power to resurrect the demon lord.
As time went by, the blood of the races that invaded and plundered in different dimensions became mixed, so those with pure magic began to become less and less.
It was the price the demon king made most of the demons’ gender female in order to increase his army.
It was easy for the demons, mostly female, to conceive children by extracting seeds from males they stole from another dimension to replenish their troops, but the problem arose because males were gradually not born.
As it became more and more difficult for demons to reproduce, males from other dimensions were plundered and bred, and eventually, after a long time, the aftermath went crazy even to the royal family.
Nobles and royalty tried to observe the lineage by taking male demons who were born occasionally, but even the males were of mixed blood from another dimension, so the lineage gradually faded.
As a result, unlike in the past where the purity of magic proves lineage, now more and more demons are trying to prove the size of magic with lineage.
This was possible because the amount of magical power possessed by the nobles and the royal family was so great that it was incommensurate with ordinary demons.
However, only those with pure magical power can become the devil’s vessel.
At that time, there was not even a single person with pure magical power that could resurrect the demon king.
In a situation where the scale of the rebellion is gradually increasing, I thought that it was not long before the absolute kingship of the Demon Realm, which had lasted for thousands of years, disappeared.
However, even though they are not demons, they found someone who satisfies the condition.
A woman with pure magic.
Despite the fact that her straitjacket her was stuffed, frightening magical powers gushed out of it.
I still remembered her because she was a woman who could be compared to the demon lord not only in her purity of her but also in the amount of magic power of her.
The succession ceremony prepared for a week was because of that human woman.
It was clear that she would gladly accept her succession if she threatened her own child.
Because he knew a little about humans, he was able to assure himself.
I was sure because I had heard the interrogator’s report of the mother’s actions to protect her and her fragile cub.
Even human males possessed pure magical powers that were weak in their bodies, but equal to those of their mothers.
Perhaps that clan must have been special.
If given the opportunity, he wanted to use it as a seeding can for his family and create descendants who could possess high-purity magical power.
It was the elder’s idea that if he had that male, his family his might be able to become the next royal family.
If the demon king were to be resurrected, it was clear that the demon king would be the first to punish the royal family.
A royal family who can’t prove their purity.
Since they are useless beings who can no longer make the devil’s vessel, it was natural that they would be disposed of.
After obtaining that male, if descendants with high purity magical power were born, the condition of being a vessel of the demon king could be satisfied.
If so, it was clear that the demon king would turn his family into a royal family.
The royal family were those who could directly exercise the power of the demon king, the eternal ruler of the demon realm.
The nobles who would devote their eternal military power and the council to hold the revival ceremony of the demon king actually had a lot of room to replace them even if they disappeared.
It was enough to erase it right away and put other demons in its place.
As for the method of holding the succession ceremony, the demon king also remembers it, so if the demon king is alive, he can use others even if it is not the council.
Even the aristocrats barely raised an army to be loyal to the demon king, but it was no different if they gave others titles and increased their strength.
Only the royal family was an irreplaceable necessity for the demon king, so the power they could wield was enormous.
However, the royal family, who had that enormous power, fulfilled their value.
Having become worthless, they would disappear at the hands of the Demon King.
If only that male was placed in his hands his, the place at the pinnacle of his power his could be taken by his family his.
The old man couldn’t hide his smile.
He couldn’t stop laughing because he firmly believed that everything he wanted would come true.
.

.
Elder Il removed the handcuffs and straitjacket from Minah’s body to her.
It could have attacked suddenly, but the elder Il believed that that human woman would not do such a foolish thing.
Since the soldiers brought back were holding weapons and pointing them at the human male’s neck, he thought that he would not be able to move recklessly in a situation where his own child could die.
In the end, the human woman obediently followed us.
Now, after the succession ceremony of the Demon King, the thought that his family could become royalty filled the head of the elder.
After arriving at the place where her succession ceremony was to be held, Elder Il put a human male outside the space where her ceremony was to be performed.
Now I just had to let the human woman into the circle and perform her ritual of her.
The elder Il looked at the human woman and said, because if the magical power in her body her is suppressed, she faints, or if the object of the ritual leaves the circle, the ritual prepared with great effort could fail.
“Now you just have to go inside the circle and stay still.
“Keugh…”
When Mina saw Suna taken hostage by her, she could n’t hide her resentment of her.
“Start now.”
As several demons started the ritual, the ritual circle, lined with dozens of circles and shapes, began to glow blue.
Suna, who was witnessing with her own eyes what was happening to her mother her, felt something ominous about her and called Mina over and over again.
“Mom! Mom!… No!”
Feeling as if her mother her would disappear when this ceremony was over, Seon-a tried to jump into her ceremonial gin with tears in her eyes.
Ignoring her blade her against her neck, as she tried to move forward, she was crushed to the ground by the soldiers’ hands.
And Mina, who was at the center of her consciousness, started to tremble and her posture lowered as if her body her had no strength.
Suna, who kept watching Mina’s appearance of her, called out to her more fiercely, but in the end she could not stop her consciousness of her.
When the consciousness circle was the most blue.
Minah eventually passed out.
And Seon-a will never forget Min-a’s face when she wakes up soon after.
She didn’t look like the mother she knew.
Looking at her in all directions with her cold eyes, all I could feel was her fear and despair of her, not her warmth or reassurance of her.
.
.
.
She hadn’t gotten a body for 30 years.
Her own offspring of her, which she had bred to perform her rituals of her, lost the purity of her magical powers of her.
What was wrong with her, she thought to herself.
She thinks that the problem was that, firstly, due to her own greed of her, she manipulated the genes of her demons to drastically increase the rate of female births in order to recruit her soldiers.
Second, she should have prevented the blood of other nobles or demons from mixing so that the royal family would not lose their innocence.
The first was an inevitable choice to conquer countless dimensions.
This would not have happened if her second her had been stopped by her own command her.
If she had kept the purity of her lineage in order to preserve the purity of magic, she thought, it would n’t have taken so long for her to be resurrected.
After she finished the thought, she contemplated her newly acquired body.
She was the overwhelmingly pure magical power of her body that she had ever acquired.
She even had the amount of magical power she had compared to herself in her prime her.
When she was there, an unknown force flooded her body.
A power that enhances the senses and a power that has the ability to adapt.
I wondered what the spirit of the one who had this amazing body would be like, so I looked at the mind of the original owner who had been pushed into the corner of consciousness.
The spirit of this woman was so intense.
It felt like a blazing fire.
She had seen many spirits while changing bodies, but she had never seen a spirit that burned so fiercely.
Most of the spirits burning so intensely were those who wanted revenge.
It was a poison that even the demon lord himself should never swallow.
She herself could not devour this woman’s spirit unless her vengeful spirit abated her.
Her own spirit could burn her and be devoured by that woman.
After taking a look around, the demon king turned his gaze towards one place as if he had witnessed an amazing sight.
Except for Minah, it was the one with the most pure magical power.
Upon seeing Seon-a lying on the ground, the demon king read the memories from the original owner’s body and then read out information about Seon-a.
Then he looked at Suna with a sadistic smile.
