313 New Threats
“He was only B rank last year when I encountered him. And he’s quite cunning.” Balanar began to recount his encounter with Fein and how he suffered a loss at his hands.
“He’s certainly as cunning as a fox. But I can’t believe that he rose from B rank to S rank in the timeframe of one year.” Beelzebub felt a hint of a threat that might be detrimental to their demon race. “I hereby command all the demons here. As long as you encounter him, Kill him! I will reward a demon fruit to the demon that could kill him!”
“Demon fruit!?” The eyes of demons became fervent. They whispered at each other and greed appeared in their respective eyes.
Demon fruit is literally a divine item for demons that could purify their demon bloodline!
There are nine ranks for the demons. From lower to upper ranks, the ranking is as follows; lower demon, middle demon, higher demon, demon prince, demon king, demon lord, devil, satan, and demon god!
Correspondingly, lower demons are those with low bloodline concentration and demon gods with the purest demon blood.
The purer the blood, the larger their magic power capacity and the higher their quality!
Lower demons are as equivalent to F-rank degu users of humans. Middle demons were equal to E rank degu users, higher demons were as strong as D ranks, while demon prince is equal to C ranks, demon kings for B rank degu users, A rank degu users were equivalent to demon lords. Then S rank degu users to Devils, Satans to SS rank, and finally Demon God to SSS rank!
Beelzebub is exactly one of the twenty-five Satans, along with Lucifer, Thanatos, and Leviathan. As for the Demon Gods. They rarely show themselves and only appear when a large-scale war between Humans and Demons happens.
.....
The gap between Devils, Satans, and Demon God is the same as that of the difference between Heaven and Earth!
That’s why the fear of Devils towards Satan-level demon Beelzebub could only be explained by the difference of power. Beelzebub could use the powerful SS rank spells that could bring a powerful country to ruin.
Satans could literally make a rain of meteors and kill Devils without exerting much effort. They can already use spells that involved the laws of time and space.
Lucifer, in particular, has the power to submerge half of the continent into a sea of flames. Contrary to it, Humans don’t even have an SS rank among them. Well, at least on the surface. But the Heavens have mercy. Satans and Demon Gods cannot descend on the Germundia Continent on their own. They need a human to summon them and a strict sacrificial process is needed.
This method is known to Humans. That’s why when something like missing people happened, the Authorities would always conduct a strict investigation as it was usually related to rituals to summon Satans. The S rank degu users and the Authorities on the human side are sensitive when it comes to cults. They will destroy cults that intend to summon powerful demons by any means necessary. Just like what happened to the cult that plans to summon one of the twenty-five Satans, Thanatos.
Even if they succeed... Satans could only exert seventy percent of their overall strength in the Human World because of the rules of the world. They can only have one hundred percent of their strength in places like the Secret Realm or outside the continent. But what’s outside the continent? Even Satans don’t dare to step using one of their foot in that place lightly.
“Lord Satan, I’ll assure you. I would bring that human’s head on a plate.” One of the devils gritted his teeth.
For the sake of demon fruit, he was ready to risk his life. Once his demon blood gets purified, his chances of being promoted to Satan would increase tremendously.
“Don’t steal my prey. I have a grievance with that human that I need to settle.” Balanar said angrily.
“There’s no need to fight among yourselves. Whoever can take down the human who slayed three devils has the right to obtain the demon fruit.” Beelzebub’s aura came crashing toward Balanar and Raveus.
The two devils instantly shut their mouths and bowed their heads like obedient childrens.
“You better focus on causing chaos in the North first. I don’t want the other Satans to outdo me.” Beelzebub stood up and looked at the group of Devils coldly.
Each Satan has ten to fifteen Devils as their subordinates depending on their strength. Lucifer, as one of the top ten among the Satans, has twenty-two Devils under him.
Demons are very strict and particular about hierarchy. The words of the strong are always absolute. Correspondingly, Devils have hundreds of demon lords as their subordinates. And demon lords also have thousands of demon kings at their command. This continues at the bottom. But the thing is, there are only five Demon Gods in the demon society. Each of them had five Satans at their beck and call. The Demon Gods are the ones that go out and fight outside of the Germundia Continent to conquer other worlds and usurp resources.
One had to know that Demon Gods can kill Satans with a snap of their fingers. They could erase the existence who had a lower life level than them. But the stronger they are, the lower their chances of stepping into the human world. Because the rules of the world suppressed them completely. So, there is almost zero chance a Demon God would descend into the Human World.
...
Fein was happily basking in the sun. He had his own body covered with sunscreen for protection. He was enjoying absorbing the energy of the sun to fulfill one of the requirements to use the Golden Mist Technique, but he didn’t know that he was already being targeted by the Devils and that one of the Satans had already considered him a threat.
Voli stared at his master momentarily, then closed his eyes and sat crossed-legged like a human. One would see that almost every strand of his fur had already turned purple and his pupils had already turned golden, which was brighter than the sun!
Purple mist completely enveloped Voli, and it was almost impossible to make out his figure.
‘He’s about to break through in S rank. He only needs a few more days.’ Fein was paying attention to Voli secretly, unknown to him.
