At the same time, the mages' appetites also increased, but years of magical training made their mental strength resilient, preventing them from indulging in laziness.
Even Senator Cocotte, who was part of the entourage, hadn't changed much.
She's naturally lazy and loves to sleep.
Now I've just gone from liking to sleep to liking to sleep even more, there's no difference.
In conclusion, this strategy is extremely effective.
It didn't take Owesser long to put the army that had entered the central city in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, the demons of laziness and gluttony gradually grow stronger in an environment that nurtures emotions and desires.
Given enough time, they can grow to the level of greed in just a few months.
In addition, the city is filled with countless lesser demons created by the primordial demon.
And those demonic incarnations that become more powerful and highly infectious after being corrupted by demons,
Even if Owesser doesn't leave, it would be enough for this team to not be able to find him for a long time.
After all, they are struggling to survive themselves right now.
Owesser knew that
Although this group had entered the central city, their movements became extremely difficult due to the army being severely infected by demons.
The only option is to clear out the Duke's mansion as a temporary safe zone.
They must also remain vigilant at all times, guarding against the ever-emerging little devils.
Owesser knew that he was no longer a threat.
He only needs to continue to utilize the entire human population of the capital to continuously accumulate power for the demon, gradually growing stronger.
Soon after, with his father's natural death, he would then eliminate Aurelion and Albany.
He will become the undisputed emperor of the empire.
At that time, with the addition of demonic power, he will be invincible.
Oweiser, imagining his ultimate triumph, lay in his rocking chair, his face contorted into a chilling grin.
While deep in thought, he also enjoyed the grapes, apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, cantaloupe, peaches, dragon fruit, lemons, watermelons, lychees, and kiwis that the servants had prepared for him.
Feel the sweet taste spreading in your mouth.
For some reason, he has become lazy lately, and his hunger has intensified.
Because he never considered that an increase in the number of demons might not necessarily be a good thing.
After all, Owesser could not fully control the demons, nor would he ever know their true names.
Therefore, he found it difficult to resist the inherent characteristics of these demons.
When he initially had only three demons, Owesser was unaware of the strange changes in himself.
His greed will be satisfied by his current position.
His anger could be vented at any time by those subservient nobles.
His jealousy, when compared to that of his elder brother, seemed to need no outward expression.
But this did not resolve his desire for rest and laziness after he believed he had succeeded.
It also cannot resolve his gluttony, which he must eat as a human being.
Even without realizing it, Oweiser had lost his sense of crisis and began to look down on everyone.
This is precisely his arrogance.
Although no demon directly affected him
But with so many demons around...
As a human who cannot completely control demons, Owesser is naturally affected without realizing it.
Therefore, he never felt that there was anything wrong with his changes.
They weren't even aware of any impact.
Thus, he began to become indifferent to everything, indulging only in his status and pursuing pleasure to the fullest.
until……
A few months later, Owesser continued to play the role of a local tyrant, surveying his vast territory.
He sat majestically on the most magnificent throne in the central district.
Beneath the throne, inside the mansion, the surviving nobles were pale-faced.
They knelt on the ground, trembling, too afraid to move or utter a sound.
Of course, this is not the royal palace, and Owesser wouldn't dare to invade it.
He was also aware of his own limitations; his father was still alive.
If he really went in, he might be smashed to pieces by his father.
This estate was an idle estate that he legally purchased when he was still an ordinary prince.
Over several months, he enslaved these surviving nobles and transformed them into a luxurious palace comparable to a royal palace.
Today, he finally sat on his throne with satisfaction.
Although the throne beneath him wasn't the one in the palace, Owesser was already impatient.
He longed to hear the crowd below shout "Emperor!"
Just as he waved his hand, preparing to have the crowd proclaim him emperor,
Suddenly, a clanging sound of metal clashing came from outside the door.
It is somber and heavy, yet it contains a sense of power.
Owesser's mouth dropped open, the bunch of grapes in his hand hovering in mid-air, stunned.
He wondered who would bother him at this time.
As a result, he saw it.
It was the same human he had met outside the city walls a few months earlier who had left a deep impression on him.
The difference this time was that he was wearing much better armor.
The protective device on its head has also been changed from the previous roadblock to something that looks more sturdy...
drum?
This strange attire surprised and bewildered him at the same time, and his heart began to pound wildly in his chest, unable to calm down.
"Why……?"
Even the Duke and his men couldn't break through the defensive line.
Why is it that this strange-looking but obviously weak human was able to break through all the obstacles and get here?
Why?
Then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Owesser was even more confused.
Although the other person did not speak, he clearly sensed the message they wanted to convey.
"What?"
"You... want to challenge me?"
