At the entrance to the Elf Forest, a red-haired woman with demon horns leaned against a five-hundred-year-old tree, yawning and waiting listlessly for something.
“Lucifer, you’re not kidding me, are you? I’ve been waiting here for ages and nobody’s come.”
The woman lit a flame in her hand: "How about I make some noise?"
An elegant voice rang in his mind; it was Lucifer, the ruler of the Fallen Angels' Court: "If you're not afraid of being killed by Her Majesty the Queen, then do as you please."
"What a joke! Me, afraid of her?"
That's what they said, but the flame in the woman's hand still obediently went out.
"hehe."
"What are you laughing at! I'm just preventing, you know, foreign trade incidents!"
"It's a diplomatic incident..."
"Oh, they're all the same!"
Just then, a surge of magical energy appeared before her. The woman's expression hardened, and she reached for the greatsword on her back, preparing for battle.
Two figures slowly emerged.
"boom!"
A brutal burst of flames descended from the sky, and a giant sword tore through space, hurtling towards the two figures. One of the figures immediately reached out and placed his hand on the shoulder of the other long-haired woman. The next second, the two figures reappeared from another location.
The long-haired woman drew her bow to its fullest extent, and a gust of wind gathered around the arrow.
The wind howled.
Chapter 174 Don't bring teammates with bad tempers when you fight.
The wind howled, gathering into arrows. The long-haired woman, Estia, gently plucked the bowstring, and the arrows made a sharp sound as they rushed towards the red-haired demon.
The red-haired demon sneered, and her giant sword erupted with terrifying flames, engulfing the arrows. Then she slashed down fiercely, and a massive wave of fire, powerful enough to tear the earth apart, swept towards Loran and Estia.
"Blazing Blade!"
Estia remained calm. She closed her eyes, placed her fingers on the bowstring, and the wind gathered again, but this time it was stronger, as if the world-ending hurricane from mythology had been recreated here.
"Wind, tear her apart!"
Arrows rained down on the giant wave of flames like a storm, and for a moment the two forces were locked in a stalemate.
Loran narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to gather magic power in his staff, he was interrupted by Estia.
"You don't even need to lift a finger."
Estia remained calm: "Don't forget, I am also a Saint. Besides, it's a bit of a pity that I never fought this guy back then."
Yes, Loran and Estia naturally recognized each other's identities: Lesteengel, the ruler of Satan's court.
In some ways, she and Christine are very similar; both are outgoing and love fighting and strong liquor, and both fight with brutal, visceral blows.
It was precisely for this reason that when they faced the three kings of the royal court—the Fallen Angel, the Vampire, and Satan—for the second time in the Demon King's Palace, Lesteen and Christine were opponents.
Estia chose Lucifer, while Loran faced off against the socially awkward vampire king.
Speaking of which, Loran had a deep impression of this vampire court ruler. Even though vampires are a race with an extremely strict hierarchy, Lilith, as the court ruler, was actually a rather timid and socially awkward person?
Is this for real? Why would a vampire listen to this guy?
Then Loran realized something was wrong when he started fighting this guy—this guy was like a completely different person when he started fighting! He laughed wildly and used all sorts of brutal moves with ease, just like a real tyrant!
Holy crap, he's mentally ill! Everyone, get out of here!
In short, it was only then that Loran realized that the reason this girl was able to hold the position of the ruler of the vampire royal court was because, on the one hand, she was really strong, almost a level stronger than Lucifer, and on the other hand, she was a complete madwoman when she fought!
No wonder that even though Lilith is the strongest person besides the Lich King, Lucifer is the most likely candidate to become the next Demon King—Lilith is really not normal.
In short, Estia, who wasn't particularly strong at the time, faced off against Lucifer, and the two didn't end up with a clear winner—which isn't hard to understand, since Christine was facing Lesteringer, the weakest of the Royal Court Lords, while Loran was indeed the strongest in the team besides Messiah.
Estia and Christine were evenly matched in strength, but in the final battle, Estia was the only one who failed to defeat her opponent.
This matter has probably been on her mind ever since.
With this in mind, Loran abandoned his thoughts of fighting.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lesteen didn't come here with any ill intentions—otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to approach Loran and Estia when they were both there.
On one hand, she was no match for Loran and Estia working together; on the other hand, even if she did manage to defeat them, the Elf Queen, who was still at eight-tenths of her strength, could kill Lestinger three times in five minutes!
Since there was no need to worry about any accidents, Loran was happy to just watch the show from the sidelines.
"You really aren't going to help?"
A figure slowly emerged, its dark wings radiating an ominous aura.
Lucifer, the long-absent Lord of the Fallen Angel Court!
"I believe in Estia."
Loran glanced at her, his tone flat, after all, he could tell at a glance that the Lucifer in front of him was not the real Lucifer, but merely a phantom created by the Fallen Angel's Feather.
“That’s true. The little elf princess’s strength is about the same as mine. If it were a life-or-death battle, Lestinger would be no match for her.”
Lucifer stroked his chin and analyzed, "Besides, this is the Elf Forest. With the Elf Queen's blessing, the little princess's strength will be even greater. I'm afraid I can only be on par with her."
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Loran rolled his eyes: "Without the blessing, you're on par with Estia. Now that she's blessed, you're still on par with her?"
"Hey."
Lucifer gave a wicked smile: "After all, the Fallen Angels' Court is quite wealthy."

"I have nothing in common with those who are rich in dogs."
Although that's what she said, Loran didn't feel envious at all. After all, when it comes to cheating, neither of them could compare to her.
You're a gigolo, kid!
"Oh, oh, oh, Lesteen has come out."
Lucifer passionately commentated: "What is she going to do? She's going to launch a surprise attack! Is she going to use that move?!"
"That move? Could it be!!!"
Loran's expression was exaggerated: "Could it be that move?"
"That's right, it's that move! Lestinger's signature technique!"
Flames coiled around Lestinger's fists, like an awakened dragon, carrying an aura that threatened to incinerate the heavens and earth.
"That's the move!"
Lucifer's tone was serious: "That move, once it appears in the world, will inevitably bring bloodshed! It's called..."
"Burning the heavens..."
"World-Destroying Meow Meow Fist!"
The world fell silent for a moment; the boiling flames froze, and the raging winds stopped.
Only Lorraine remained, muttering to himself thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is, the world-destroying Meow Meow Fist? What an imposing name."
"That's right, it's the Heaven-Destroying Meow Meow Fist! The Heaven-Destroying Meow Meow Fist is incredibly powerful! Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a terrifying name as 'Heaven-Destroying Meow Meow Fist'!"
Lucifer's tone was serious, but Lestinger was about to lose her composure: "What?! What do you mean by 'World-Destroying Meow Meow Fist'?! Who would give it such a stupid name! This move is clearly the Fist That Burns the Sky!"
"Puch..."
A soft laugh rang out, and Lestinger glared angrily at the source of the laughter—Estia: "You're laughing! You're definitely laughing!"
"No."
Estia regained her composure: "I have great respect for my opponents. Even if Miss Lesteen's move is called 'World Destroying Meow Meow Fist,' I would never laugh at you... *chuckle*."
"You were just laughing, you never stopped!!!"
Chapter 175 The ones who can break your defenses the most are often your teammates.
With Lucifer present, the battle ultimately didn't break out. Lestinger sullenly sheathed her greatsword, muttering, "I finally wanted to have a good fight, but in the demon realm, not a single one of you is willing to fight with me."
"You can go find Lilith and burn all her clay figurines and treasured books. She'll definitely fight you."
Then Lucifer received a disdainful look from Lestinger: "Do you think I'm stupid? I like to fight, not that I'm looking for death."
"Hey."
Estia, however, did not put away her bow and arrows: "What brings you here?"
"Oh dear, Miss Estia, why are you so cold? We could be considered rivals who respect each other, right?"
Lucifer flapped his wings, and Estia frowned, firing an arrow that pierced Lucifer's body. But the ripples on his body were like those on water, quickly returning to stillness.
"It's so heartbreaking, why do they attack me the moment they see me?"
Lucifer pretended to wipe his eyes, but Lestinger burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you damn fallen angel, you've been rejected!"
Lucifer didn't react to Lesteen's mockery, but instead smiled and said, "Alright, let's get back to the point. In fact, Miss Estia, we have no ill intentions in coming here."
"Oh?"
Estia remained unconvinced, gripping her bow and arrow, and coldly staring at Lucifer.
Lestinger chimed in, "Yeah, you don't look like a good person at all!"
Estia facepalmed.
Lucifer almost lost his smile, his voice gradually turning cold: "If you continue like this, I'll tell Lilith about how you damaged the ancient book that she's treasured for three hundred years."
"I'm sorry I was wrong."
Lesteen immediately backed down.
Indeed, there is always something that can subdue something else; the ancients were right.
Loran also became serious: "Tell me, what exactly are you here for?"
"For the sake of fighting!"
Lestinger, hands on hips: "Lucifer told me there was a fight, so I came!"
Then he was completely ignored by Loran.
Ignoring Lestinger, who was shouting, "Lorian, what do you mean by this? Want to fight?", Loran continued to look at Lucifer. Lucifer, in turn, looked at the ancient elven tree in the distance: "Some time ago, when I was investigating the followers of the Lord of the Abyss, those Abyss Walkers, I accidentally encountered a Death Apostle."
"Oh?"
Loran narrowed his eyes.
Unlike all other followers of evil gods, the title of Apoptery Apostle is reserved for the most powerful members of the Church of the Apoptery Tree.
"After I captured him, I sent him to the old lich to have his soul searched."
The Old Lich refers to the ruler of the Lich King's court, a figure of ancestor-like status among the demons. His name has been lost to ancient history; even a ruler like Lucifer doesn't know his name and can only refer to him as the "Old Lich."
"After the soul search, we received intelligence that the Death Apostle is planning an attack on the Elf Forest."
Lucifer narrowed his eyes: "I guess the Elf Forest wouldn't refuse a seventh-tier combatant, right?"
Loran glanced at Lesteen, who still looked completely bewildered.
If it were just Lestinger coming here alone, Loran wouldn't have anything to worry about. This ruler of the Satanic Court is a complete idiot; there's no need to worry about her having any schemes or tricks.
But if you bring Lucifer along, you'll need to think twice.
Loran crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Two o'clock."
Lucifer knew he wasn't very trustworthy, so he stated his demands frankly: "First, allow the demons to trade with the elves; second, the Antoya Merchant Guild and we need some cooperation."
"......cooperate?"
"Yes."
Lucifer nodded generously: "The demon race now needs to communicate with other races, and trade is an inevitable trend."
"You know, this isn't something I can decide on my own."
