It requires absolute force to subdue them, and there's a possibility that they might be accidentally killed in the process.

During that time, five or six demon kings died, and the hero completed the Holy Sword. As long as the demon king is killed, a portion of the energy of the dead demon king can be obtained. At the same time, the "demon-slaying" attribute of the Holy Sword is strengthened through the ritual of the hero killing the demon king.

(Demon King: Good grief, whether it's the Holy Sword or the Demon King's Crown, you're all just picking on the same sheep!)

The Holy Sword and the Demon King's Crown grew stronger by stepping on each other with their left foot, but today, it seems that this inescapable fate is about to end.

"Crack, crack..."

Realizing that he could destroy the Demon King's Crown, El sped up, chewing and digesting the crown in his hand.

In this way, one can absorb the demonic authority hidden within the Demon King's crown, thereby elevating one's own existence.

As the black crown grew smaller and smaller, the remnant soul of the Demon King tried to stop it, but there was nothing it could do.

"Stop! Stop! Don't eat it!"

The Demon King could not accept that the crown, which he cherished as a treasure, was eaten by El like a snack.

"Don't disturb my meal. I almost forgot, you seem to be able to eat now too."

A tentacle, like a black hole, reached out and passed through the chest of the Demon King's soul.

"This is?!"

Pierced through, it felt a weakness, as if it had lost all its strength and abilities.

It's like inserting a straw into a coconut and continuously drawing in the coconut water.

The Demon King felt this way: his own existence, his own soul power, and even his own memories were being stripped away little by little.

"call……"

The black soul tentacles retracted, and the Demon King, like a fish caught on a hook, was sent into El's black hole soul.

It saw its opponent, this being who should theoretically be a hero, with a soul that devours everything, and an infinitely greedy instinct that is restrained by itself.

"Not only does the body transcend life, but the soul is also such a twisted thing?"

"He certainly didn't die unjustly. A monster like that would probably require the hero and the demon king to join forces for even a sliver of hope."

The Demon King has nothing more to say. All he can say is, "God, what kind of matchmaking system is this?"

The moment its soul shattered and became nourishment, memories of the past reappeared before its eyes.

"Brother, I picked some fruit in the woods. Here, take this big one."

"Yeah, now that we have the strength, let's go and take down those damn goblins. Even if we're weak, we're not the kind of guys that can bully us."

As the sun sets, the two demon brothers' struggles for survival and the hardships of the past become the Demon King's most unforgettable memories.

"Finally, I still have to say I'm sorry, little brother, I couldn't avenge you..."

Meanwhile, in the real world, El just finished eating the last fragment of the Demon King's crown.

Now, this symbol of the Demon King, this heirloom of the Demon race, has completely left the world.

[Entry - Eating something will replenish it - triggers this]

[You have consumed the world-class special item, the Heirloom, the Demon King's Crown (Complete), permanently gaining demonic authority (Complete)]

Opening his eyes, El felt a completely new power.

"I have everything I need now!"

He felt a continuous stream of power surging up as he threw tiles.

At that very moment, all the demons in the world, whether they were ordinary slimes, vampires, or demons, had a strange feeling.

Something seems to have changed.
