The Demon Lord System
~ Arc 2 : Searching for Allied Ch. 158 - New Steps
From morning until night, Levi continued flying in search of the surrounding kingdoms, and more than fourteen hours passed, they finally found a kingdom called Amera Frost. The weather in the American Frost kingdom seemed to have just started snowing.
ㅤ
Without waiting any longer, Levi flew into the kingdom and went looking for a place to stay.
**
One month passed quietly, they found lodging in a remote village and paid about 30 pieces of silver per month to stay in a rather large house. On that very day, Ling Chen showed signs of coming to a realization.
ㅤ
Rafaela immediately cooks a dish, Levi and Arthur also help Rafaela cook. They made a huge dish for Ling Chen, thinking he would wake up soon.
ㅤ
After they finished making the dish, they rushed to Ling Chen's room and waited for him to come to a realization.
ㅤ
However after they waited, what they saw was just an oddity or it could also be called a miracle, Ling Chen's body began to sweat profusely. Ling Chen's black hair looked bleached, his body also gave off a foul smell.
ㅤ
An hour later, Ling opened her eyes with a new body aura. That aura, was an Epic level aura. That meant Ling managed to break through the Epic level while he was sound asleep.
“Against Mr Ling.” The two demonic pillars bowed respectfully.
They were actually a little surprised and a little distracted by their smell. Their sense of smell was very sharp, smelling the body odor that Ling released, making them very disturbed.
“Hmm, this stench. It seems like I managed to break through to the next level. And this is not too much different from my home world, when it rises to a high level, it will emit a smell from the body.” Ling muttered smelling the smell of his smelly body.
“Prepare hot water for me to shower. Somehow around here it's so cold.” Ling still did not know he was not in the kingdom of Whazard.
Levi and Arthur, nodding at the same time and leaving, they agree not to tell Ling first and let her take a bath first. If they told Ling now, they would tell her with a foul ambient scent.

“Ahhh, I feel like I'm reborn. This body became extremely powerful after I rose to the Epic level. Then..”
Ling ordered the system to face, Ling wanted to see the current status of his body.

Ling had already guessed, after successfully breaking through the Epic level, his statistical panel would become much stronger than before. Ling smiled and quickly finished his bath. Can't wait to go ask where Yuki is at the moment.
However, Ling was a little surprised because of her gray hair. Moreover, when Ling saw the mirror, his eyes also turned blood red but after knowing it was due to the system, Ling was not too worried.
The system said, to help Ling break through the Epic level required a 500k point exchange fee. And this, can also affect the body, as a result of Ling's hair whitened and Ling's eyes look exactly the same (dark red blood) as when he changed (become the change of the king of darkness)
15 Minutes after Ling changed into a new outfit, Ling also wore warm clothes. And this, made Ling a little surprised but not too surprised.
‘Abiz once. Hmm maybe because of the cold atmosphere I was required to wear this warm clothes. Never mind, I better go eat. My stomach is very hungry, ah well before that.’ Ling patted Levi's shoulder.
Levi glanced at Ling, “I-iya, what's the matter sir?”
“Hmm, why do you look so groggy. Ah come on, Levi how long have I been asleep?”
“1 Months more lord.”
“Yeah, so long ago. How could I have slept that long. I am so hungry!” Ling went at high speed into the kitchen.
Eat all dishes with gourmand. Without using the mouth in his hands. Ling enjoyed every dish he consumed until his stomach could not eat anymore.
The last meal spent by Ling, ended in a small burp. After that Ling's eyes turned instantly sharp and intimidating.
"My answer, where's Yuki?"
The words that Ling put out, made Ling's servants tremble slightly. Ling's words just now continued to sound in Levi's and Arthur's ears.
"T-sir, I'm sorry we didn't go to save Yuki."
"Oh so, well no need to think. Well may Yuki calm down..."
Levi, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief at Ling's words. They had not expected Ling to only answer casually after knowing what they were saying. Yet they could also see Ling silently pensively. They realized Ling did have feelings for Yuki. It's just that Ling didn't realize it until where the girl disappeared. Ling seemed to hold back her tears.

Three days passed and Ling had adapted in this new kingdom. He had also listened to the details including about the death of the demonic pillar.
But Ling's nature became colder to outsiders. Even so since Ling realized he kept practicing and started using the cultivation power of that inner power realm.
“Huft.” Ling set his breath, he had just finished practicing.
Ling picked up his drinking bottle on the desk near his practice room. Although it was currently winter Ling trained without using upper clothing. Ling wanted to train his body to be immune to the cold by getting his body used to the cold weather.
In his previous life Ling had also applied this exercise. And it was making progress against his body, not only was Ling extremely strong surviving in the extreme weather. He also became a very fast swordsman in such circumstances.
Finished drinking, a handsome man with green eyes came to Ling's training room. That man was none other than Levi.
“Master do you want to go to the main market to buy food supplies? If that's what you want me to do or Arthur did it. Master sitting at home just waiting for us to come.” Levi.
Ling shook his head, “I'm bored. I just practice, eat and then sleep. It was boring so I wanted to get out of this inn.” Grumpy Ling.
Levi was unable to reply and was silent a thousand languages, however right his master said. Basically, those who have fallen into the world of fighting and killing will get bored when just eating sleep and practicing.
“Alright but I want me to come with mr.”
“Well you come with me.” Ling closed his right eye while turning away from Levi. A grin was seen as Ling turned away.
