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

"It's been over a week since I last saw Lord Shadow..."

The elven girl's exquisite figure was hidden beneath a black robe, concealing her graceful curves.

Beta stood there listlessly, casually unleashing a cyan and a black sword aura, shattering the monster that was attacking Gamma.

The cyan sword energy was something Beta could naturally unleash, but after receiving power from Gray, he was able to unleash black sword energy.

"It's amazing that she can concentrate on grinding monsters here."

Among the training tasks Gray gave to the two girls and one teenage girl was to kill low-level monsters.

On this continent, all parts of the world are shrouded in magic, only the concentration of magic varies from place to place.

Where there is magic, there will be monsters. However, due to the low concentration of magic in Bifeng Territory, only first and second-tier monsters will be bred at most.

Beta was already a fourth-tier professional, and now with the support of the Grey Demon King's clan, these low-tier monsters posed no threat to her.

Advancement for professionals also relies on magic, and the methods of advancement can be divided into two aspects: cultivation and monster hunting.

Of course, "killing monsters" here doesn't just refer to killing monsters; killing any creature with magical power will also have an effect.

Alpha and Gamma are both Tier 2 professionals now. Alpha leveled up by slowly killing monsters, and so did Gamma, but Gamma's advancement was easier.

Alpha and Gray started much earlier than Gamma, and naturally killed many more monsters, probably several times more than Gamma.

This must be what they call the difference in talent, right?

But if Alpha and Gamma were to fight, the result would definitely be that Gamma would be completely crushed.

Gray also noticed that Gamma was advancing very quickly, and after observing for a period of time, he came to a conclusion.

If we compare a professional's advancement to leveling up in a game, it's like how Gamma requires far less experience to level up than Alpha, so you can level up quickly by killing only a small number of monsters.

Furthermore, Gamma's physical magic power is also very high, significantly higher than those of others of the same level.

However, the downside is that Gamma has very weak control over both his body and magic, making him prone to falling when running, and even when walking, he can easily trip and fall.

It could be said that their motor skills are underdeveloped, or that they have the strength but can't use it effectively.

Don't think Alpha is not good just because it took Alpha several months to kill monsters and barely reach the second tier.

Alpha is only six and a half years old, and his potential has not been fully realized.

Moreover, it is very rare for a six-and-a-half-year-old to be a second-tier professional. People of the same age who have reached the first tier at this age are already considered geniuses.

In comparison, Alpha is still very strong.

Of course, this excludes Gray, the Demon King.

Not only because of the help of the Demon King's legacy, but also because Gray's own growth rate is exceptionally terrifying.

Since he hadn't had the chance to go all out, Gray couldn't judge his current strength.

Speaking of Gray, we must mention his trip to the capital to attend a banquet.

The journey from the border region of the Olmec Kingdom to the capital is long.

The impoverished noble family of Brant could only travel to the capital by carriage, a round trip that took nearly a month.

In other words, the three women will not see Gray for a month.

Now, more than a week has passed, and Gray probably hasn't even arrived in the capital yet, while Beta is already getting very impatient.

Well, for someone who's a hopeless romantic, not being able to see Gray every day is already terrifying enough, let alone a month.

Therefore, Beta is now listless and has entered a state of severe lack of "Shadow Lord's Energy".

However, is it more accurate to say that a 100-year-old girl is obsessed with a six-year-old child, or is it more accurate to say that an old cow is eating young grass?

Of course, Alpha and Gamma also miss Gray, but not to the extent that Beta does.

"Oh?"

Sensing the magical fluctuations of the third tier, Beta finally perked up.

It was a wolf-like monster about two meters tall, covered in dark gray scales, resembling a heavy suit of armor. Its head was long and narrow, its eyes flashing a ferocious green light, revealing cunning and savagery. The monster's sharp teeth protruded from its lips, sending chills down one's spine.

There are many kinds of monsters in this world, and new monsters often appear. Let's call this wolf-shaped monster the Demon Wolf for now.

Tier 3 monsters are extremely rare in the Azure Peak Territory.

It was probably a second-tier demonic wolf that fought against other demons in the mountains and forests, and finally survived the survival war of the strong preying on the weak, thus advancing to the third tier.

Monsters of this level can be instantly killed by Gray or Beta, but they pose a significant challenge to Alpha Rock, which is only at the second tier.

Alpha wasn't afraid of such a ferocious monster; instead, it showed an eager expression.

Under Gray's training, Alpha is no longer the helpless little girl who could only cry secretly in her cage.

"Beta, don't make a move yet."

Alpha crouched down slightly, holding two daggers in each hand, and focused his attention on the tall monster in front of him.

"I feel like if I can take it down by myself, I can advance to the third tier."

Alpha has indeed been stuck at the second tier for a while, and is only a little bit away from the third tier, just one opportunity to break through.

"it is good."

Beta grabbed his bow and arrows, ready to come to Alpha's aid if it was overwhelmed.

As an elf, Beta was born with exceptional talent in archery and natural magic.

They are not only capable of providing timely rescue, but also adept at treating wounds after battle.

Although Beta felt that Alpha could easily defeat the demon wolf, it was still better to be cautious, in case something went wrong and Lord Shadow would scold him.

As the oldest person in the entire Shadow Court, he was naturally entrusted with the responsibility of protecting others.

The standoff broke down, and the wolf howled as it pounced on Alpha, its claws slicing through the dark night with a cold light.

Alpha was prepared and dodged the wolf's attack by sidestepping, while simultaneously slashing a wound at waist level with his dagger.

Alpha's attack was imbued with magic, but unfortunately it only managed to break through the wolf's exceptionally tough fur without causing it much damage.

It seems we need to find its weaknesses and attack them.

With this in mind, Alpha dodged the attacks of the dire wolves while looking for an opportunity.

Gamma, watching Alpha's agile combat, felt somewhat ashamed of his own abilities.

Although her stats are high, they can't possibly be higher than those of a monster one level above her.

If she, whose combat experience and mental fortitude are weaker than Alpha's, were to face this demonic wolf, she would probably be eaten as a snack very quickly, right?

Gamma sighed softly.

She was several years older than Alpha, and her combat ability was far inferior to Alpha's.

"As the saying goes, there is a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. It's just that your talent doesn't lie in combat."

Gamma remembered Gray's words and felt calmer.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Alpha showed signs of fatigue and revealed a weakness.

The wolf seized the opportunity to pounce, but this opening was merely a trap deliberately set by Alpha to lure it in.

As the demonic wolf approached, black energy emanated from Alpha's black robe, unleashing a power second only to that of a demon king, causing the demonic wolf to freeze in place.

It takes a little time to get used to the authority of someone in a superior position, maybe less than a second, but in a battle, that little time can be fatal.

While the wolf was adjusting, Alpha unleashed its maximum magic power, concentrating it all on the dagger and piercing the wolf's heart with a single blow.

The battle was over, and Alpha was panting heavily.

Although Alpha wasn't seriously injured, its magic and stamina were completely depleted.

It's at level three.

Feeling the magic's feedback, Alpha smiled.

When I come back and see that I've been promoted, Lord Shadow will be happy, won't he?
