In the 'Cursed Heaven',
A huge ape could be seen sitting in a cross-legged position with its eyes closed.
He was none other than the primitive ape king that wanted to become Ajax's brother. As for the reason why he wanted to become Ajax's brother, even he didn't have a single clue about it.
However, there was some sort of connection with this inner soul that wants to stay close to Ajax and wants to protect him.
From time to time, he was frowning as though he was unable to understand something; however, from time to time, he would reveal a slight smile as though he learned something.
'It's been more than 45 days since young master Ajax left this cave. I wonder whether this primitive ape king learned the bestial law or not.'
No one knows when Nameless cultivator appeared in the 'Cursed Heaven', but he observed the primitive ape king for a few minutes before going out of the cave.
With the presence of the primitive ape king in the cave, Nameless cultivator was able to enter the town from time to time and started enjoying the mortal life.
He missed that life for a couple of decades and he wanted to enjoy it completely.
Of course, he was careful in hiding his cultivation and face with some good items refined by Esmund.
As for the Primitive ape king, he was completely immersed in the cultivation of the bestial, and as long as he could comprehend one before Ajax came back, he could become Ajax's brother which would keep his soul at rest.
As for whether he learned the bestial law or not, except for himself, no one knows.
....
In the Grey dwarves world.
"Hey, did you know about the death of the fifth demon king Agron?"
"What about him?"
"I heard he and his entire army was killed by someone."
"What?"
"How do you know?"
"How? I heard it from the demon general who came to collect the weekly tribute from our town; however, before he could give him, he and his underlings hurriedly rushed with the demon king's summoning."
In a small town, a group of young grey dwarves was conversing about the killing of the demon king.
"Really? Did someone come to help us?"
"I don't know but I doubt whoever killed the demon king Agron might be killed because all four demon kings were forming an alliance to kill him/her."
The young grey dwarf who had an all-knowing look on his face replied to the other young dwarves with a sad look on his face.
"Sigh"
After hearing the young dwarf's words, everyone sighed because if four demon kings joined their hands, they would be very powerful and might take down a mid-level king realm cultivator.
"Kids, it is time for your weapon refining test. I hope you will surprise me."
Suddenly, an old dwarf shouted from a weapon refining workshop that made all the young grey dwarves rush into the workshop with excited looks in their eyes.
'I hope he will defeat the demon kings before taking the three artifacts and become our protector. This time, I will do my job as the protector advisor properly.'
The old grey dwarf looked in a specific direction as he silently thought to himself.
…..
Not only this town but most of the town had already got the information of the death of the demon king.
Many are hoping that Ajax kills the other four demon kings and at the same time, they were also hoping that Ajax would not exploit like the previous protector after becoming their new protector.
Nevertheless, they wanted Ajax to kill the demon kings more because demon kings were more barbarous than the previous protector.
...…
'What is taking them so long? Are you scared to fight me or what?'
As for Ajax, he didn't have a single clue about the cultivators from the 'House of dragons', his wannabe ape brother, and the hopes of the grey dwarves.
The only thing he was focused on right now was to kill the demon kings before taking the three ancient artifacts of the grey dwarves.
'Ding,
The demon king's body is completely refined by the Arcane green spirit turtle.
'Ding,
The host received a small demon crystal. Please check more information by taking out the crystal.
'Huh? A demon crystal?'
Before the other demon kings could come, the refinement of the previous demon king's body was also finished.
As Ajax didn't know about it, he took it out of his inventory to check more information.
'Ding,
Item name:- Small Demon Crystal.
Effect:- It stores the pure demon energy in it.
Storage:- 100 units / 100 Units.
Note:- It is advisable to not use it any humans or spirit beasts as it will completely turn them into demonic beings.
More information:- In ancient times, these crystals were used as the energy for the puppets as demon energy will not affect them; instead, it will break the limits of the puppets..
'Huh? For puppets?'
Ajax frowned for a moment before asking, 'So, what about me? I already have some mysterious demonic energy in me right? What happens if I absorb it?'
Even though the system said that he should not use it for humans or spirit beasts or elemental spirits, it didn't tell him about himself.
Even though he was a human, the energies like cursed energy or demonic energy would not affect him. Moreover, he could even use the mysterious demonic energy to use the demon form.
So, he wanted to know whether he could use it for himself or should he just give the small demon crystal to the puppet.
'Ding,
The mysterious demonic energy is adaptable with the being it enters too; however, the current demon energy, directly came from the primitive demon emperor and it is designed in a way that only demons could use that energy without any side effects.
'Oh'
Finally, Ajax understood the last system notification and didn't try to do anything funny lest he turns into a demonic being without any brain.
'Since I have a peak level 10 elite general realm puppet, if I give this small demon crystal to it, will it become a king realm puppet?'
When he thought about it Ajax could not help but look forward to it.
Earlier, in the system's explanation about the 'Small demon crystal', it said that the demon crystal will break the limits of the puppet.
So, without any hesitation, Ajax summoned the puppet and opened a small compartment in the back of the neck.
'Ding,
The puppet is already filled with the essence of nature. Please deplete it before giving it another energy.
Just as he opened the compartment where the spirit stones are placed in the puppet, he received a system notification asking him to deplete the essence of nature.
'Deplete it.'
As Ajax didn't lack the essence of nature or the spirit stones, he asked the system to deplete the energy.
'Ding,
The entire energy is depleted in the puppet. Please give some energy for the puppet to start working.
Soon, he got the system notification asking him to install the small demon crystal.
'Here it goes.'
With an expectant look on his face, Ajax tossed the crystal before closing the compartment.
