Chapter 1555 Demon King Seed: Rank 2!
-----
"I fucking lost again?! This makes no sense! I was twice as strong as before! Drake, you damn bastard! You're cheating! Let's go for round two right now!" A little chimeric creature barked at me angrily.
The more I rank up my Demon King Seed, the more realistic his manifestation becomes from his "original form". Now he looks larger and not phantasmal anymore. Like a little puppy.
"You'll have second shot on another occasion. I don't know if I'll be able to gather enough Demonic Energy for another Rank Up." I shrugged, as I took a look at the System messages popping up and noticing my ever-growing Aura of Demonic Energy.
[Congratulations! You have successfully Ranked Up your [Demong King Seed]: [Primordial Sin Of Gluttony: Rank 1 (Temper Rank)] into Rank 2 (Lord Rank)!]
[The density and power of your Soul have drastically increased. Your Soul Ether Stat has increased from S++ to S+++!]
[Your Magic Affinity for [Demon (SS)] Magic has increased to SSS Rank!]
[You have become a [Lord Rank] Demon King, a Demon Lord represents special Demons, capable to command Lesser Demons.]
[You acquired the ability to command and control Lesser Demons, as long as they're weaker than you, by overpowering them with your [Demonic Lord Aura]!]
[To rise your Rank in the demonic hierarchy, collect more Demonic Energy and cultivate your Demon King Seed. The next stage will give you even more benefits.]
[The [Demonic Physique (SSS)] Demonic Ability has further evolved after the Demon King Seed Rank Up.]
[The Tier of your Current Demon King Seed will now be reflected in your Demonic Physique Demonic Ability.]
[The [Demonic Physique (SSS)] Ability has unlocked a new Ability]
-----
Whenever you meet Lesser Demons or Demons weaker than you, you can overwhelm them with your [Demon Lord Aura] and gain control over them. Controlled Demons Loyalty towards you increases by +100%, and their Stats as long as they're serving you by +50%. (New Ability!)

"Oh, I can control Demons now?!" I felt it was a bit too ridiculous for just Rank 2. "What in the world? Seriously? That was fast."
[Only the weakest of them will ever obey you for now. Such as the Imps that invaded the Lizardmen Alliance city, for example.]
[Other Demons such as the Oni, the Asura, and so on, even if you defeat them and force them to obey you, they will not do so until your Rank increases sufficiently.]
"I see, so Ranks is all for Demons…" I nodded. "Hmm, this makes me wonder, what Rank is my brother, Sangre? And how much has he let his Demon King Seed consume him… Ugh, this only makes me more worried about that bastard than I should."
[From what I recall of Sangre, he already showed symptoms of being controlled by his Demon King Seed. And based in the power he could exert, he was already at Rank 5…]
"What?! That high?! I need to catch up with him… But how did he even get enough Demonic Energy for that?"
[I would assume he either accumulated it over his long life, or he had found a way somehow. Perhaps there are other ways than just directly eating demon meat.]
[Or perhaps he also found some fragment of Pandemonium and is using it somehow.]
"It is a mystery… Ugh, even if I think about him, it's not like I can go confront him yet." I sighed. "He probably has an Ascendancy Law now that I think about it. When I fought him he said he was already Rank 10. He might be even higher now."
[You've got other problems to worry about right now, Drake.]
"Right. Now I got 700 million Demonic Energy… The next Rank needs a billion. I guess I could make enough by eating the rest of the demon meat." I nodded. "Hmm, I wonder if it would be better to get a new Demonic Ability though."
[It would be good, but I think your Demonic Physique is already providing many new abilities by itself.]
[The Marchosias Ability still has room to grow as well, so better specialize in these two Demonic Abilities instead of spreading out into too many. I would say that maybe you could purchase a new one once you reach Rank 3 at the very least.]
"Well said, you're not wrong there. Concentrating on only a few Abilities instead of trying to use too many can bring better results." I nodded. "I also need to keep cultivating my demonic energy so I can produce more from the Demon King Seed."
Although it was impossible before, after hitting Rank 1, I discovered that intensively cultivating using Demonic Energy could produce extra amounts of this energy, in the same way as Divine Power, which is naturally created from my Divine Realm.
However, the best method to get these energies is still just absorbing it or stealing it from others, it is always nice to know I can also just produce it over time… And now that my Demon King Seed is Rank 2, it is now steadily producing a bit more with each second.
[Although you can't learn a new Demonic Ability because you need to save Demonic Energy right now, how about you get something that could serve a similar purpose? A Demonic Spirit of your own.]
"Well Miranda is one but… I get what you mean. Are you implying what I think you are?"
[Yes, you do have those four [Demonic Yggdrasil's Divine Soul Orbs (SS Grade)] items! They are still resting, waiting for a new purpose and a new chance at life.]
[And you do happen to still have a [Divine Spirit Creation Ticket (B Grade)] too!]
"I was also thinking about that… Could a Demonic Spirit like them help my cultivation?"
[Of course! The same way the Divine Spirits do. Benladann herself grows stronger faster thanks to Miranda too.]
"Alright, you've convinced me enough. Let's do this… First of all though, we should use more materials than these soul orbs." I smiled, looking at the giant tree in the distance.
I quickly cut off several branches from the Spiritual Yggdrasil, and then placed a huge pile of demon corpses over the ground. Using all of these as materials, I combined them with the soul orbs, and used the ticket.
FLAAASH!
