New King's Coronation; Campaign in the Western Country

Seven days later, the coronation ceremony for the new king was held.

On the altar square at the center of Dog Demon City, countless demons gathered.

Not only the Dog Demon Tribe, but also the Wolf Demon Tribe, Feather Demon Tribe, Ape Demon Tribe...

Nearly every demon tribe friendly with or subordinate to the Dog Demon Tribe had sent envoys to witness the grandest ceremony the Western Country had seen in centuries.

The altar stood ninety feet high, built entirely of white jade, its surroundings carved with murals depicting the Dog Demon Tribe's thousand-year history.

Chiyo stood atop the altar, dressed in royal robes woven from dark red and black. His silver-white hair was bound beneath a crown, and the flame mark on his forehead gleamed beneath the sunlight.

His crimson eyes looked down upon the crowd. King-level pressure naturally radiated from him, filling every demon below with awe.

Recently, tales of Chiyo's deeds had spread not only among the Dog Demon Tribe, but even through other demon tribes and human lands.

No matter how the stories were told, they all emphasized Chiyo's strength.

Princess Lingyue stood half a step behind him, dressed in magnificent purple robes. Her silver hair cascaded like a waterfall, and the Crescent Moon Mark on her forehead glowed with a gentle light.

She was especially beautiful today, yet especially quiet. Her golden eyes remained fixed on Chiyo.

Toga, the newly appointed guardian of the Dog Demon Tribe,

stood behind Chiyo and Princess Lingyue.

He stood on the first step beneath the altar.

Tetsusaiga lay across his front, exuding a domineering presence.

Great Elder Inuzuka Lie held an ancient scepter as he slowly ascended the altar. His aged voice spread across the entire square through Demonic Power.

"Today, Chiyo bears royal blood and possesses heaven-given talent.
