The undead lich brought up the rear, secretly observing its ally, the vampire grand duke.
According to its own survival plan, as soon as the demon king has any desire for them, it will immediately offer the vampire duke as a sacrifice to replace the dead.
As long as it uses its magical prowess as a lich—the most powerful among all the high-ranking demons present—to suppress the vampire grand duke's self-destruct magic.
A high-grade ingredient that can be infinitely replenished—if the Demon King sees this, he should let them go, right?
"I'm sorry, brother. Although we've been together for many years, it's still come to this."
Don't blame me, this is a necessary sacrifice.
After you leave, I will take care of your wife and children; you need not worry.
"Here we go again. This feeling, like I'm about to die at any moment, what's going on?"
The vampire lord felt that threat of death once again, but he couldn't find the source.
These high-ranking demons stood motionless in front of the Demon King's city, waiting anxiously.
It's not that they're not qualified to enter, but that they dare not.
According to clan records, there is great terror in the Demon King's City, and even high-ranking demons find it difficult to survive.
Finally, after a long wait, they heard that sound.
"You've finally arrived! Why did it take you so long? Didn't you know I'd been back for ages?"
The Demon King, Raul Wayne, stepped out of the castle and gazed at the food that was theoretically the food of his people.
He wasn't in a good mood and was planning to find an excuse to choose a monster as his food.
Just yesterday, he finally managed to pass through all the traps in the Demon King's Castle, but did not break the record for the fastest conquest of the Demon King's Castle.
Those repeated failures almost broke his mentality.
He had originally planned to relax by scrolling through his phone during halftime.
I ended up randomly selecting a song...
"Three hundred and sixty-five li!"
For some reason, just hearing these lyrics made his anger burn uncontrollably.
He simply stopped listening to music, as the Demon King's physical condition was sufficient for him to exert his power at a high intensity for an extended period of time.
After a night of arduous work, I finally reached the highest point before these monsters came to pay their respects. I skillfully avoided the magic circle that would teleport me back to the starting point and activated the Demon King's Castle's authorization.
If these high-ranking demons were even a little faster, they might have encountered the Demon King's most awkward moment.
In that case, there probably wouldn't be anyone standing here now.
Now, the Demon King is hungry.
"I need to find a reason to turn some monster into my food. How about I say that someone stepped into the Demon King's castle with their left foot, which made me feel bad?"
"Oh, everyone's here. The Demon King's subordinates, all lined up neatly."
As Raul Wayne was still pondering what reason to give, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
Turning around, all the high-ranking demons present, including Demon King Raul Wayne, saw the smiling young man.
"No, who are you?"
None of the monsters from the El era survived to the present day, due to the destruction caused by El himself and the antics of subsequent Wayne family demon lords.
The Wayne family has a portrait of Al, which shows him as a middle-aged man, representing what he looked like when he lived for 300 years until his death.
Therefore, none of the monsters present recognized him, and even some of the demon kings inside the Demon King's Crown only felt that he looked familiar.
There was only one Demon King, who had seen El alive before, and thus realized the problem.
"Good heavens, the ancestor has appeared, huh? But why does it look like the ancestor is standing on the other side?"
