Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Loyalty part 2



However, no Demon King before had ever placed their hand on the Sword Demon\'s, after all, the Sword Demon has no hands, only specialized blades. But Reji was different.

He might be the first to truly use his hand, to once again catch a blade barehanded, and pull the kneeling Sword Demon up from the ground.

This action was undoubtedly perceived by the already submissive Pierre as a gesture of immense respect and attention, leading him to offer his loyalty to Reji without reservation.

After the Sword Demon, the next one was the Succubus.

As Reji approached, Eileen\'s heart pounded wildly.

She seemed to need to put on a show, after all, this was such an important occasion for pledging loyalty, and as an apostle, she had to act formally. But in reality, the wildly swinging tail from behind the Succubus already betrayed Eileen\'s boiling heart.

And Reji, to his only die-hard fan, from the beginning took himself seriously, even without showing his power, she was trying with all her power to protect him. Naturally, Reji also offered her more care.

Reji not only placed his hand but also more tenderly on the Succubus\'s hand, after pulling the kneeling Eileen up, he even smiled at the Succubus and said softly:

\'Thank you, Eileen\'

The Demon King\'s smile was the best catalyst for the Succubus.

Eileen already had a special filter for Reji.

Now, just this short thank you almost made the Succubus ecstatic, nearly ascending to heaven.

It was evident that Eileen was very, very excited and agitated.

Her whole body trembled.

She even tightened her legs a bit.

Her adoring eyes looking at Reji were as if glistening with water.

"No, no, no, my King, I, I..." Eileen was incoherent in front of Reji, more like a young girl experiencing her first crush rather than a Succubus.

Reji raised his hand.

Signaling the Succubus not to say more.

Again showing an incredibly gentle side, at least in Eileen\'s eyes, it seemed that way.

Afterwards, Reji, the next one he approached was the Wisdom Demon Leo.

Compared to the previous three, Reji didn\'t speak, took Leo\'s hand, pulled the Wisdom Demon up, and just nodded at Leo.

After all, Leo was also one of the four apostles who participated in the ceremony to summon him.

Reji still showed the appropriate attitude.

And as for the next few.

Reji turned around, his gaze landing on the remaining apostles still kneeling, waiting for him to accept their loyalty.

Based on Reji\'s understanding of the demon race, he first approached Shadow Demon Sherman and Breeding Demon Ulala.

It\'s understandable that these two didn\'t attend the ceremony.

One is a guardian of the demon race, and the other is akin to the demon race\'s hive.

Given the current dire situation of the demon race, their inability to attend can be understood.

However, Reji did not extend his hand to pull them up as he did with the first four apostles; he merely nodded at them.

Next were the Sorcery Demon Dian and the Decay Demon Eris.

For these two, Reji didn\'t even nod, but simply said, "Rise" and that was it.

For someone like the Decay Demon, whose body is covered in rotting flesh and maggots, Reji\'s reluctance to touch them was one reason, but it was also his way of silently expressing disapproval.

-I am not satisfied with your earlier attitude-

-What happens next is up to you-

That was essentially the message Reji conveyed.

As for the last.

The remaining eight apostles, whether seriously addressed by Reji or briefly dealt with, at least all stood up.

The only one still kneeling on the scene, who did not receive Reji\'s acceptance, was the Wicked Demon Lordan.

How to put it.

Lordan\'s heart could perfectly be described as "tormented" at the moment.

He miscalculated.

Completely misjudged their new Demon King.

Although Lordan was bowing his head in submission, he still sneakily watched Reji accepting the other apostles from the corner of his eye, naturally noticing that their new Demon King was not forgetting past offenses at all.

In fact, he was very much holding a grudge!

Luckily for Lordan, he was covered in bandages, otherwise, the Wicked Demon would definitely be sweating profusely and drenched in sweat by now.

Especially now.

All the apostles had risen, and everyone\'s gaze, along with Reji\'s, was focused on the Wicked Demon, as well as on the million demon army looking up at the ceremony below.

Lordan felt Immense pressure.

If Lordan had the chance to go back in time, he would definitely reprimand and punish his past self who disdained the summoning ceremony and provoked Reji.

Unfortunately, there\'s no medicine for regret.

It\'s all too late now.

Lordan gritted his teeth, made a quick decision, and activated his domain skill, a good trait of the Wicked Demon being his ability to recognize the situation. He immediately activated his domain skill, and a surge of green, sinister energy rose around him.

Not all domains amplify; some domain rules weaken, like Lordan\'s.

The strength of the Wicked Demon lies in the spiritual realm, with his domain capable of such powerful abilities as extracting souls, and now, Lordan\'s domain target was himself.

Many pitiful green lights shot out from Lordan\'s seven orifices, and after a painful wail from the Wicked Demon, these green lights leaking from his body finally condensed into an emerald essence.

Like having undergone a severe illness, becoming extremely weak, Lordan extended his hand, shakily offering this green essence to Reji.

"My King, for my previous foolish actions, I feel profound fear. Please, you must accept this Soul Stone, in hopes of contributing a meager strength to enhance my King\'s power further!"

*Tsk*

Reji couldn\'t help but smack his lips upon seeing the essence offered by Lordan.

Of course, he recognized it.

A super rare item in the game that wouldn\'t necessarily drop even after killing a hundred Wicked Demons.

The Soul Stone is one of the few items that can significantly increase the "spiritual power" attribute.

However, for Reji, the greater use of the Soul Stone was as a key ingredient to synthesize another legendary itema Skill Copy Scroll.

\'It seems Lordan really went all out to apologize and make amends\'

In the game, among the nine apostles, Reji disliked this one the most. He really wanted to eliminate Lordan right there, but being the new Demon King and with the other eight apostles present, it clearly wasn\'t feasible.

Accepting the Soul Stone seemed to meet Reji\'s expectations.

Seeing Reji take his offering, Lordan finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dragging his weakened body to stand up and obediently returned to the apostles\' lineup, standing behind Reji.

Just like that.

All nine terrifying demon apostles now pledged their loyalty, respectfully arrayed to the left and right of Reji, supporting their new king.

As Reji stood atop the summit where the altar was located, looking down at the million-strong demon army in the basin below, the demons let out an even more deafening roar and howl.

By standing against two, including the Great Demon and Sword Demon, absolute powerhouses of the demon race, Reji had conquered these lower demons with his strength, winning their absolute loyalty and reverence.

With just a gesture of raising his hand, the restless demon army seemed to make the ground itself tremble.

\'So, this is what it feels like to be a king\'

\' Well it is not that bad\'
