The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

The waiter responsible for checking whether the map matches the actual situation and for completing the map is number 0356, a petite loli girl.

A mini black robe concealed No. 0356's face, but her delicate voice suggested what an adorable beauty lay beneath.

I have a friend...

Forget it, we're all on the same side, so let's not make friends out of thin air. We'll eat Wuxie and then let Shengxunyu draw cards.

Lolis have three advantages: they are light, soft, and easy to push over.

Number 0356 repeated the motion of bowing and raising its head like a chick pecking at rice. This was the map in the hands of the core, and its efficiency remained undiminished even when there were a large number of monsters attacking.

It's clear that this is a very focused little girl, able to concentrate completely on one thing.

"Eh?"

Number 0356 noticed a problem.

They are using a cultist's map to explore the ruins. They have not yet reached the limit of the map, which means that the path they have taken has also been trodden by cultists.

So where did the monster corpses go? They encountered endless monster attacks along the way, but never saw any other monster corpses. The cultists should have cleared out monsters before entering the ruins...

So, the monster's corpse just vanished into thin air?

Starting from this point, No. 0356 came up with several possibilities, such as the corpse being swallowed by some terrifying monster.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, to the point that she stopped what she was doing and temporarily forgot about her task.

"Do you think it's possible that cultists have a special way to avoid being attacked by monsters? The followers of the Underworld and Shadow faction and the monsters in the ruins are essentially followers of the Underworld and Shadow Demon Daklis. It's not surprising that they have such abilities, is it?" A deep voice sounded in 0356's ear.

"That makes sense, much more reasonable than my reasoning."

After being reminded by those around him, No. 0356 suddenly realized that he was scaring himself. Besides, with Lord Demon Shadow around, so what if there really was some terrifying monster?

That person is...

Number 0356 was grateful and wanted to thank the person who reminded her, but she froze after seeing the direction from which the sound came.

"Demon... Demon... Demon... Lord Demon Shadow?" Number 0356 was so frightened that he became flustered and started to stutter.

Seeing this, Gray felt somewhat helpless.

What kind of image do these waiters have of me? Their attitude has always been respectful, but I become very flustered whenever they try to talk to me.

The servants of the Shadow Court are all poor girls who were rescued by the Ten Shadow Servants or other senior servants and voluntarily joined the Shadow Court.

In their eyes, the Ten Shadow Attendants were benefactors and beings they looked up to with utmost reverence, while the "Supreme Lord" in the oath was even more revered by them.

It should be noted that most of the waiters had never seen this Shadow Lord, and the few who were fortunate enough to have seen the Shadow Lord in his black robes were all exhausted in their words to describe how powerful and great he was.

So much so that in the eyes of ordinary waiters, Gray was elevated to a level far exceeding that of the organization's leader, reaching a level that could be called faith.

She is like the demon in the hearts of fanatics of the Demon Cult, and the goddess in the hearts of believers of the Holy Light Church.

Gray's act of striking up a conversation with the waiter was akin to a fanatic suddenly receiving a divine message from a goddess...

At this time, believers become ecstatic, while others become bewildered, adding immense pressure to themselves.

The fact that the Shadow's appearance has become like this can be attributed to Gray's various actions.

They appeared and disappeared mysteriously, leaving the waiters with an impression of mystery.

Another point is his appearance in a black robe, which is when the waiters have the most contact with Gray.

The black robe with cognitive impairment made Gray's image incredibly tall, his deep voice full of majesty, coupled with the aura of a demon king and the overwhelming power of his immense magical energy.

You expect the waiters to look at Gray calmly? That's asking too much.

Looking up, you could see Lord Demon Shadow's face very close. Number 0356 stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

"But you're right. Adversity breeds contempt, while comfort breeds contempt. It's never a bad thing to be vigilant. This sense of crisis can often save people from dire straits." Gray praised Number 0356 in this way before slowly walking away to observe the battle between the servants and the monster horde, leaving Number 0356, who hadn't yet come to his senses, standing there in a daze.

Gray came over to take a look at the map, and incidentally noticed that 0356 seemed a bit off, so he offered a few words of comfort.

It was quite some time after Gray left that Number 0356 came to her senses. Her cheeks turned bright red and hot, and even her black robes could not hide her emotions.

I was praised by... Lord Shadow?

I... I have no right to deserve such a high honor from that person...

Gray's words made Number 0356 feel like she had been injected with chicken blood. The little girl became extremely excited, as if she could knock out ten Tysons with one punch.

My assessment is that she's not as good as Lyra (0486). As a fanatical follower of Grey, she would immediately become dizzy and collapse into Grey's arms if she were praised.

There are real examples of this, and the results are verifiable!

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, the Shadow Court members broke through the obstruction of countless demons and traversed narrow passages to reach a vast hall.

In the very center of the hall, several enormous stone statues stood silently.

The eyes carved on the stone statue gleamed with a cold light; it seemed to depict some kind of demon.

These stone statues have sharp, hawk-like eyes and broad nostrils. The muscles carved from stone are clearly defined, and wings extend from their backs. Although they are carved from stone, they have delicate feather-like textures, and you can feel their dynamic movement as if they are about to take flight even when they are still.

These are several exquisite works of art that are truly breathtaking.

Does Darkrith, the demon of the underworld and shadows, have such leisure and elegance?

Suddenly, a barely perceptible tremor spread from the soles of the statue's feet, like a leaf stirred by a gentle breeze, lightly touching a sleeping soul. The tremor gradually rose upwards, and every muscle in the statue's ankles, calves, and thighs seemed to be trying to awaken a dormant power.

Sensing the fluctuations in magical energy, Gray stared intently at the statue, noticing the tremor it was causing.

"No, this isn't a stone statue, it's clearly a high-level gargoyle..."

With such a monster guarding the place, it means the end is not far ahead, right?
