Demon King – Chapter 824 – Demon Lord Exhibition
Hearing that light, drifting voice, the two of them looked toward the source at the same time and discovered that the huge crystal behind them had vanished at some point. A certain silver-haired Demon Lord was sitting on her throne, smiling as she watched what was happening before her.
“You… why?”
Looking closely, Belonia’s eyes widened even more, because the chains she had set up to bind Eiru’s consciousness had all disappeared without a trace.
‘Wait. Then what about the ones on her hands…’
Looking toward her wrist, Belonia realized the chains had not actually disappeared.
A bad feeling instantly surged through her. She was about to immediately deal with the Yuki in front of her, but before she could react, several more chains shot over. Her arms and legs were bound in an instant. Her attack stopped just a few centimeters from Yuki and could not advance even a fraction further.
At the same time, accompanied by a loud boom, a gigantic creature dropped from the sky. When the smoke cleared, Hulu’s sharp claws were already pressed against Belonia’s throat.
“Though when it comes to magical attainment, I’m not as good as you, senior~”
With a light hop off her throne, Her Majesty the Demon Lord walked forward slowly with a teasing smile.
“But trying to lay hands on my Stupid Yuki right in front of me is a no-no~ Even if he’s amazing in every way, I won’t hand him over to you~”
“Who’s interested in your little boyfriend!” Belonia snapped in irritation. “A dignified Demon Lord being so bewitched by a mere human. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“If you want men, as long as you listen to me, I can give you as many as you want like him. I can make them all fall at your feet.”
“Why fixate on just this one? Why lower yourself to curry favor with him? Think it over. As long as you cooperate with me, every day you can have men who are no worse than him, even better, serving you. Doesn’t that sound nice?”

“Hmm~ sounds like it might be worth considering?” said little Demon Lord, her playful streak acting up again, replied half-jokingly.
“But I appreciate the offer, senior. My Stupid Yuki—guh?!”
Before she could finish, the mischievous Demon Lord’s little head was suddenly grabbed by Yuki, whose face was written all over with displeasure, and her cheeks were tugged hard.
“There’s nothing to consider. Lu Brat, you belong to me. Anyone who dares lay a finger on you, I’ll kill them one by one.”
“Guh, Stupid Yuki I was joking, guh~”
With her cheeks being pulled, Eiru hurriedly begged for mercy, making a certain Chaotic Evil Demon Lord inwardly cry out in humiliation.
“Well, as you can see, senior, Stupid Yuki is one of a kind. No one else can replace him~ Your offer can’t tempt me, so negotiations failed, okay?”
Though that was what she said, from the moment Belonia tried to make a move on Yuki, there had already been no room left for negotiation between the two Demon Lords.
The reason she was still joking around here was purely because of a certain girl’s bad taste and playful impulses. Even though she used to be human, Eiru was also a qualified Demon Lord.
The reason Demon Lords are called Demon Lords is because they can act according to their own will without being bound by anything. You’re a Demon Lord too, Belonia, so what made you think you could restrain another Demon Lord with benefits and threats?
“Okay okay, that tickles, Stupid Yuki stop sniffing…”
“Nope. Lu Brat I missed you so much. Haven’t seen you in so long, I need to replenish my Demon Lord elements.”

“What the heck are Demon Lord elements?! Last time it was Lu Brat elements…”
With his face pressed against her neck, Yuki kept inhaling deeply, making the little Demon Lord inevitably feel ticklish. The two of them completely ignored Belonia in front of them while shamelessly feeding each other dog food. Even Hulu looked a bit speechless from the scene.
“How did you undo it? With your understanding and mastery of magic, it should have been impossible for you to break my consciousness chains…”
“Oh, that? Very simple. I used cheats~”
Facing Belonia’s question, Her Majesty the Demon Lord answered casually.
In magical attainment Eiru was indeed inferior to this old fox who had lived who knew how long. She could analyze it, but she truly could not crack the opponent’s magic. In that aspect she was at a disadvantage, but she also had her own advantage.
“Because I have something you don’t, you know? Isn’t that exactly why you wanted to steal my body?”
Lightly swaying her tail, the little Demon Lord brought it forward and showed Belonia the faintly glowing ring on it that nearly made her drool.
A Demon Lord’s abilities are granted by the Abyssal Amber. In the end it just means they surpass others in pure magic power and strength. But Eiru’s body was directly formed from the Abyssal Amber, giving her something no past Demon Lord ever had, a power that belonged only to the Abyssal Amber.
Authority.
“Because you wanted to take my body, senior, once the possession finished, if the chains hadn’t been undone yet, they would’ve ended up binding you instead. To avoid that kind of self-binding situation, you added a duration to the consciousness chains. When the possession completed, they would automatically release.”
After analyzing that pattern, the little Demon Lord quickly took action and used the authority called Time without hesitation. Without Belonia noticing, she slowly accelerated the chains’ time flow, making them reach their limit early and release.

“Since you wanted your magical beasts and traps to operate, you set this dream world to a state of extremely abundant magic power. So that actually helped a lot!”
Hulu’s situation was the same. Originally the little Demon Lord only intended to give Yuki some means of self-protection. The pendant’s ability was just to let the little guy appear when necessary and use its magic power to temporarily protect Yuki.
Who would’ve thought Belonia would design a world full of magic power. Hulu directly recovered to its peak state and began its ridiculous mowing-through-everything rampage.
Hearing all that, Belonia’s face turned nearly green with anger. Watching the other party wear her appearance while making strange expressions made Her Majesty the Demon Lord feel a burst of discomfort. She lightly waved her hand and directly reverted the other side to her original form.
“Oh, so this is what you actually look like, senior?”
Looking at the curvy big sister in front of her, the little Demon Lord examined her curiously. The horns on her head and the wings and tail behind her were not the same style as hers, but they did resemble them a bit.
“How should I put it? Like a grown-up you? If you could grow up that is. Tsk tsk tsk.”
Yuki also chimed in from the side. Combining Eiru’s form of address and what he had learned earlier, he had basically guessed who this Demon Lord big sister in front of him was.
“Hey, Stupid Yuki, what kind of thing is that to say? Don’t tell me you like this type?”
The little Demon Lord grew annoyed, but soon softened again, blushing as she turned her head aside.
“Even if I can’t grow up, I could use magic to tinker a bit. Disguising myself like this isn’t impossible. Probably…”
“No thanks. I like your small cute type.”

Yuki smiled and picked the girl up, the two of them continuing to curiously observe this interdimensional visitor bound in chains.
“So are all Demon Lords this big? Lu Brat you lowered the average.”
“What would I need that stuff for? Demon Lords are oviparous. Isn’t that thing just pure baggage?”
“But you still seem like you can…”
“Stop! I know what you’re about to say! Before I fused with the demonic dragon I wasn’t oviparous!”
Watching the two of them fall into an enthusiastic discussion, the mighty Demon Lord now felt like an animal on display in a zoo. Belonia experienced humiliation she had never felt before. When had she ever suffered this kind of grievance?
Even though she wanted nothing more than to swallow this lovey-dovey pair alive, the overall situation was already decided. She could do nothing. She could only glare with her eyes, which had already returned to their original blue color, and grind her teeth in protest.
