Demon Emperors
Ch.44 - Soul of the 10th Demon King

After Eterna explained her wish and Cyrus accepted her request, she was now delighted and relieved by Cyrus' generosity.

“What test should you receive to be able to absorb your soul?” cyrus asked impatiently to get Exp from her and immediately proceeded to the next floor.

“You don't need to pass any exams from this old man.” replied Eterna with a feeling of respect.

Cyrus was confused by Eterna's answer, “Then, how can I absorb your soul?”

“I will give you my soul, but promise not to violate both of my requests earlier.”

“Hahaha.. since the beginning I did have the intention to realize Lucifer's dream.” Cyrus said with a laugh. After a few seconds of laughter, Cyrus continued. “Hurry up, I can't wait to get to the third floor.

“Good..” In an instant Eterna's soul entered Cyrus' body.

[Getting 5,000,000 Exp. ]

[ Level up. ]

[ Level up. ]

This time Cyrus was not satisfied with the Exp he got from the second floor, because he realized that he was still very weak when compared to Lucifer.

“My ancestors have levels of more than 1,000 alone can not control the Allstar planet, while I... weak..” muttered Cyrus full of feelings disappointed with himself.

Cyrus did not realize that the power and magic of the present with the ancient world were very different.

On average, all creatures in this world only have levels of 100-200, while those who are classified as strong are only level 300 and creatures known as legends or bear other titles are only level 500.

In this world no creature had managed to get close to level 1,000, even those who held the title were very step or could be counted with fingers.

Cyrus was climbing the stairs to the third floor. While continuing his journey, Cyrus was curious about his development while on the second floor.

“Qwerty, open status.”

“Not yet... still not.. I hope the third floor has a lot of Exp.” muttered Cyrus while walking with a feeling of passion.

Not long after, Cyrus saw a really beautiful door, the door has an engraving that says ‘Red Blood’ covered in pure gold. None other than that door was the third floor entrance.

The third floor was the floor belonging to the 2nd to 10th kings, they were all the original ancestors of Charlotte's blood.

All Charlotte kings have blood magic abilities, because the legitimate requirement to become blood must have blood magic abilities. Of course not all Charlotte descendants have blood magic, only lucky demons can have it.

After a while, Cyrus unknowingly saw a very small ancient inscription under the inscription ‘Red Blood’.

“Qwerty, translate that writing.”

[Only my descendants can have the power of the souls of the chosen kings of Charlotte's kingdom, be strong for Charlotte's glory. ]

Cyrus read Qwerty's translation. When the golden-clad door opened itself, behind the gilded door was a figure of nine crowned souls dressed as kings standing parallel to Cyrus.

“Is he the child whom Lucifer's ancestor foresaw?” Murmured one of the souls before Cyrus.

Cyrus was silent after seeing souls for a while, then she said, “My name is Cyrus Alexander.” Cyrus said salute to his ancestors.

“Alexander? Why are you here?”

“True, no one can come here other than the original descendants of Charlotte..”.

“Not...he's a native of Charlotte's ancestry, I can see he has pure blood..”.

All of them fuss over the Cyrus clan not mentioning Charlotte's identity. The commotion made Cyrus try to convince his ancestors.

“I don't have a Charlotte surname, but I have Charlotte s blood running through my body.” Cyrus continued to give them a respectful attitude.

“Prove it.. If you can't prove it, your body and soul will never get out of here alive!” Shouted one of Elder Charlotte's souls.

Cyrus tries to contain her anger, however she must respect her ancestors and try not to make trouble like the advice Cleo gave before entering the secret tomb of the Charlotte family.

“Alright..” Cyrus said gently as she extended her right hand, she used her own blood to prove that she was truly a genuine descendant of the Charlotte family.

The blood was blood-red coming out of Cyrus' skin and he tried to control his own blood very well.

“In this world no creature can control blood except the demon Charlotte, right?” Cyrus said as she played her own blood before her ancestors.

Cyrus' words made all the souls before him stunned to feel guilty, as he had yelled at Cyrus before.

“True...I'm sorry, you deserve my soul and strength as compensation Say one of the souls that shouted at Cyrus earlier.

Cyrus was surprised after hearing that her ancestor would give her a soul easily, “Is that all? very easy hehehe...” Say Cyrus in heart.

Without feeling naive Cyrus said, “Thank you, ancestor..” Cyrus said to him respectfully.

“Alright, just go straight.. hold on as hard as you can, son.” Said the old ancestor. After a few breaths, he chanted a few sentences, “The 10th generation demon lord, giving you soul as well as responsibility for the glory of Charlotte.”

[Suitable demon soul detected, the soul is trying to join you. Accept it? ]

“Ya.” Cyrus said in his heart.

Instantly the old soul entered Cyrus' body, but it was different from before. Cyrus felt the same pain as the first time he had a soul merger on the planet Pixma.

“Argghhh... why this pain is repeated again.” Cyrus screams in pain very loudly. Never did he expect the previous event of pain to reoccur when absorbing the soul of his ancestor.

The original position is standing upright now Cyrus lying in pain on the ground, “Qwerty, why is the process not the same as on the previous floor?” Say it in the heart.

[The soul that joins the body has a match with your body. ]

“What do you mean?”

[When you merge Charlotte's soul, you'll get Exp and other additional benefits galore. This process of absorbing the soul can be done if the soul matches your body. ]

Cyrus ignored Qwerty's words, as he was enduring a pain that words could not express.
