Bruce began his advancement.
He had long since accumulated nearly enough power. Now, with this final push, he soon began to break through.
A massive demon egg condensed into being.
Nearby, Kaseron's eyes were filled with naked envy. Even Zarlos was no different.
Neither of them had ever received such treatment.
Kaseron muttered in a low voice, "My lord is far too biased. I am just as loyal—why am I not given this chance...?"
As Zarlos drove the Greater Demons and the demon army onward, he greedily eyed Bruce's demon egg.
He was so envious.
Charles arranged for several Flame Ratmen at the Middle Demon and Greater Demon levels to transport and guard Bruce's demon egg.
He himself continued to conceal his aura, keeping out of sight.
During this time, he had simply fashioned a carriage for the demons to pull.
Several rune arrays for concealing auras had been inscribed upon the carriage, allowing it to hide Charles's presence to the greatest extent possible.
Bruce's aura was likewise concealed beneath the cover of this carriage.
Inside the demon egg, Bruce's aura churned without end. Thread after thread of the power of laws leaked out from within the demon egg.
In just a few days, the demon egg underwent new changes.
With a tearing sound, Bruce broke free from the demon egg.
At that moment, Bruce's aura had reached that of a fourth-tier Greater Demon.
This enormous demon, eight or nine meters tall, differed from Zarlos in that he retained more of his original form.
Two horns resembling those of a Minotaur Demon rose from his head, while flames burned around his body. He had carved out his own path.
A fourth-tier Flame Rat Demon.
Bruce respectfully knelt on the ground. "Master, I succeeded!"
Charles was delighted. "Not bad, not bad!"
