This guy might not be an ordinary Demon King!

He knelt on one knee with utmost devotion, lowering his proud head, his eyes filled with nothing but humility.

"Thank you for your grace! My sword will forever be loyal to you! Until the end of time!"

The extent of his disbelief before was matched only by his devotion now.

And he believed it was not just him, anyone who had seen that astonishing miracle would fall to the ground in admiration just like he did.

With only a light tap, he broke through the bottleneck he couldn't surpass for years!

He dared not imagine what kind of mighty power this Demon King before him possessed!

Thinking that he had previously presumed this lord to be at most a Silver Level Undead Mage, he felt unbearably ashamed.

To be enemies with such a terrifying existence...

The Dragon family must be insane!

"...This is the power I grant you in advance, I hope you can use it wisely. Should you complete the task I have assigned you, I will bestow upon you greater rewards,"

Luo Yan looked down at Sano, speaking nonchalantly as if he had only performed a trivial matter.

However, that casual voice was like a towering wave to Sano's ears, shaking his very nerves.

More rewards!

Could it be—

This lord has a way to elevate him to the Platinum Level?!

Sano only felt his heart racing, his breathing involuntarily quickening.

That was a level he did not even dare to dream of!

It seems that even Old Master Kamu Dragon was only at the Platinum Level, right?

Although that was only temporary...

Luo Yan was quite satisfied with Sano's reaction.

Indeed, most Beastmen were unable to resist the temptation of power... just as most humans can't resist the lure of money and authority.

"...I hope you remember your oath. If you disappoint me, as easily as I gave you this strength, I have the means to take it back."

"I hope you bear this in mind."

As he said this, Luo Yan glanced at the fervent Beastmen surrounding him and continued.

"You are all the same."

"As long as you show enough loyalty, you will please me."

Having left these final words, Luo Yan gestured for Sano to stand up, and then left with Sarah who was standing by his side.

After returning to the castle, Luo Yan looked at Sarah and said.

"I plan to return to the Great Graveyard, would you like to come with me, or stay here?"

Her bright eyes told him that she wanted to come back with him and didn't want to leave his side even for a moment.

But after hesitating for a moment, Sarah still lifted her head and spoke earnestly.

"I think... I would like to stay here a bit longer."

Seemingly worried about the Demon King misunderstanding, she hastily added.

"This place allows for fast improvement... Sarah wants to assist you as soon as possible."

Luo Yan did not misunderstand; instead, he simply smiled and patted her head.

"Working hard is good, but don't forget to rest as well."

Albeit a little disappointed to forgo petting the cat, he respected Sarah's own decision.

At the same time, he released the Power of Faith from the palm of his hand that was caressing Sarah's head, elevating her Soul Level from Bronze to Silver.

Compared to the expense of upgrading to Gold Level, the cost of raising the Soul Level from Bronze to Silver was nothing more than a splash in the water.

Having already spent a million, Luo Yan wasn't concerned about this additional hundred thousand.

Because it was only increasing the level cap and not the actual Level, Sarah did not react with a breakthrough as Sano Black Hand did, who was brimming with experience.

She only felt a warm flow gently caressing her head, making her so comfortable that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.

It felt like basking in the warm sun, where in just a moment, it seemed like all her fatigue was healed.

Reluctantly watching Luo Yan withdraw his hand, Sarah escorted him to the Transmission Room, until that beam of light disappeared in the empty room.

The stern, dark cave re-entered his sight in the blink of an eye; Luo Yan had returned from the Outpost Fortress on Kao Planet back to the Transmission Room of the Great Graveyard.

Seeing that familiar setting, Luo Yan took a deep breath and a pleased expression spread across his face.

"The air is better here."

He had only been on Kao Planet for a short while, yet his clothes were already covered with a thick layer of dust, as if he had rolled in a sandy area.

By the way, even before he returned, Oke and the others had also come back one after another.

And it was his mount, Alakdo, who brought them back.

But those goblins did not come here; instead, they went to the public Teleportation Array on the fourth floor of the Maze—that's the kind unused by players.

The space was more spacious there.

Moreover, he planned to settle those thousand "Noobla" in Mist Forest, to be neighbors with the Dark Night Elves and the Adventurers of Mist Town.

Watching Luo Yan hang up his coat, Youyou seemed a bit reluctant as she said.

"Lord Demon King, you've only known that Sano for a few days, and you've already upgraded that guy to Gold Level?"

"Is there a problem?" Luo Yan said offhandedly, "Most Divine beings and their Chosen Ones have only met each other once as well."

"But... that's a million Faith Value! If you convert it to Contribution Points, that's 10 million! Players would have to complete tasks for a very long time to earn that."

Hearing Youyou's indignant rant, Luo Yan just smiled.

Converting it to Contribution Points is fine.

That's just a "player value" he issued based on Faith Value, not something that truly exists.
