Ahri witnessed this scene with some astonishment: "This guy actually took out his sword and committed suicide? According to common sense, after knowing he was betrayed, he should be angry and demanding answers, not going insane and killing himself. Before he died, he should have found more people to take the blame for him.”
At this moment, Tainas slowly stood up in a strange posture. His body transformed into an orc-like creature in a devilish state.
A black-red spike protruded from his forehead, with arch-shaped horns on both sides resembling those of a bull. A pair of sharp horns grew from his back, extending to his shoulders. Spikes protruded from his elbows, giving him a fearsome and grotesque appearance.
"I told you, none of you can kill me!" As Tainas's voice fell, a crimson vertical pupil grew on his chest, eerie and demonic.
The Changeling from the Shuowang Empire, far away, could see the scene before him through this eye.
"Oh my..." The expression on the Changeling's face seemed somewhat incredulous. "Let me see who forced Tainas to commit suicide, thus triggering the demon's seed that was planted."
This large eye blinked restlessly, and he saw Galral. "A filial son when the father is kind?"
"It shouldn't be. Based on Galral alone, how could he make Tainas commit suicide?"
"Hehe." Suddenly, the Changeling chuckled lightly. "So it's the help of demons. The third-ranked Nightmare Demon Sui Liangfeng and the sixth-ranked Deception Demon - Ahri. Sui Liangfeng has the ability to see the future half an hour ahead. No wonder I haven't encountered these two."
Afterwards, the Changeling no longer observed the situation in the Orc Empire. The replacement of the ruler had become a certainty since two demons had been dispatched. Tainas was just struggling in his final moments.
The Changeling transformed into a vampire-like form and roamed within the Shuowang Empire, quickly disappearing.
...
"How could he have a demon's power? The origin of this kind of power comes from His Majesty the Demon Emperor. Why would Tainas have it?" Sui Liangfeng looked at the demonized Tainas with a puzzled expression.
The demon's power is a product created by His Majesty using locks and keys, with the aim of enhancing the overall combat power of the Divinity and Demon's Continent. It should have been used up.
Suddenly, an unbelievable thought came to Sui Liangfeng's mind. Someone had obtained the demon's power but didn't use it and kept it until now.
It seems that this matter should be reported to His Majesty.
"Ahri, protect Galral. I will deal with Tainas alone." Sui Liangfeng's purple short knife in his hand transformed into a demonic sword.
"Alright." Ahri looked at Sui Liangfeng and replied.
Sui Liangfeng spread his enormous demon wings and charged directly towards the demonized Tainas.
Tainas, in his demonized form, had greatly enhanced strength, speed, and reaction abilities. He swung his sword at Sui Liangfeng, cutting him in half.
Galral's face turned gloomy, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself: Did Sui Liangfeng really die like this?
Tainas burst into maniacal laughter, sending chills down people's spines. His gaze fixed on Galral, with a cruel smile on his face. "Your helpers are weak and incompetent. Who gave them the courage to resist? Kneel before me now, and I may forget past grievances."
Gradually, many orc soldiers knelt down in the hope of receiving forgiveness, including one of the generals who had followed Galral. Kleya was somewhat at a loss and looked towards the Fox Immortal. Ahri stood there with her arms crossed, expressionless. Sensing Kleya's gaze, she spoke, "Do you think that the partners who have worked with me would be easily killed?"
"Galral, do you still think there is hope for a turnaround in this situation?" Before Galral could answer, a purple magic sword pierced through Taynas from behind.
"Ah!" Blood flowed down along the magic sword, dripping onto the floor of the hall. Taynas widened his eyes and looked at Sui Liangfeng with unwillingness. "You can't be... dead..."
Before Taynas could finish speaking, Sui Liangfeng pulled out the magic sword and kicked him, sending him flying. Taynas fell to the ground and vomited a large amount of blood, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief. Sui Liangfeng approached and ended his life with a single slash.
"Galral, it's up to you to handle the rest. Ahri and I won't participate in your coronation ceremony." Sui Liangfeng wiped the blood off his sword while speaking to Galral in the center of the hall.
Galral bowed his fists to Sui Liangfeng, "I will send my regards to the Vampire Queen."
"Okay," Sui Liangfeng replied and walked away, with Ahri following behind him.
Facing the ministers, Galral said, "Now is a time to use people. I won't blame any of your recent actions."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the ministers bowed and expressed their gratitude.
"No need for excessive courtesy," Galral waved his sleeve and walked towards the throne of His Majesty. He gently caressed the throne, filled with emotion, "The future of the orcs is in our hands. I hope you can be loyal and defend our homeland!"
"Our Emperor is wise, and we pledge our loyalty to our Emperor!"
Galral nodded, "Keep the coronation ceremony simple. Strengthen the training of the army now and prepare to face the armies of Ruined Land in the future!"
"Yes!" The ministers responded one after another.
Galral glanced at Taynas' body, "Give him a decent burial. Although he was an incompetent ruler, at least he was my father."
...
The Shapeshifter turned into an ordinary-looking young vampire and wandered around Shuowang Empire.
"Indeed, vampires have much better taste than orcs," the Shapeshifter looked at the street vendors and marvelled, "This vendor sells a wide variety of things, including all kinds of food and fun stuff. It seems quite trendy."
Just as he was about to approach and inquire about the prices, he suddenly heard children playing behind him, "Xiaoxiao, show us your Shapeshifting?"
Upon hearing this, the Shapeshifter turned around and rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat speechless.
The "Shapeshifting" the children were referring to was a small glowing ball that could change into a thousand different colors, hence the name Shapeshifting.
The Shapeshifter thought he had been caught sneaking into Shuowang Empire.
"Boss, give me some sugar-coated haws, please," the Shapeshifter said to the vendor.
"Sure," the vendor replied and handed a string of sugar-coated haws to the Shapeshifter.
The shape-shifter took it and took a bite.
The taste of blood filled their mouth, making the shape-shifter uncomfortable, but they endured it and exclaimed, "Not bad."
After paying, they took the candied hawthorn and left.
After biting two pieces, the shape-shifter threw the candied hawthorn into the trash and rushed to the public restroom to rinse their mouth.
"The food for vampires is really disgusting," the shape-shifter couldn't help but complain as they wiped the water stains from their mouth, "I hope this time it's not in vain."
Then, they ran to another street and bought another candied hawthorn, enduring the discomfort as they ate it all.
They had to adapt to vampire food; otherwise, it could attract unwanted attention.
"I don't want any troubles, especially since this is the territory of the Demon Emperor," the shape-shifter muttered to themselves.
