"Are you enjoying this trial?" I never used to show you that kind of gesture before.

Tiger Emperor (here) looked at Tsuru's expression with suspicion.

"I don't like it... I'm glad that someone strong like you hit me." I felt like it was proved that my efforts were never in vain. "

"I see... there's nothing strange about you ever feeling that way." I thought you were enjoying the same fight as that man, but it was a mistake. Your emotions towards me are not curiosity. It's just an ego. "

When the Tiger Emperor said that, he began to hide his body by wrapping it in a white flame. The white flame eventually came to a pure white ice mass and stood still. Tsuru tried to approach the ice block with a surprised face, and suddenly stopped in surprise that a crack had entered the surface of the ice.

Hey, what happened?

The cracks in the ice gradually multiplied and eventually exploded as the cracks spread across the entire ice.

"" "Heeeeeeeeeee" "

The villagers crouched down in horror as the scattered fragments of ice flew toward us like bullets.

"You've become so small...... the guardian deity of the west."

Tsuru said what he thought without thinking of unexpected developments.

The figure of the Tiger Emperor was very different from that of the giant White Tiger. It became a human form and looked like a demon's demonized beast combining elements of humans and demon beasts.

"That's an honest feeling." But I couldn't help but be surprised. This is a morphological transformation that can only be handled by the Royal Beast. "

A Royal Beast!

Tsuru hears the words and first remembers the enemies he fought in the past. However, neither the eagle demon beast, which was surrounded by the gold that was supposed to have fought in the past, nor the cow demon beast, which had a grudge against Satan, used such a technique.

“What are you thinking? The steel demon beast that came to attack your country before has also changed his form freely?"

Steel Demon Beast... you mean Leo Metal.

Leena remembered the first time she saw the Royal Beast. Indeed, when Shizuka and Somari were cornered, Leo Metal was leaping up a lot of her arms to change her appearance and personality. Could it be that the Tiger Emperor was talking about it?

"Wait! The Royal Beast I fought with didn't change its form!"

Maybe you're talking about the Metchakata Eagle or the Bull Demon King?

"Yeah, that's right."

"They're not the Royal Beasts." It's just a high-grade demonic beast. "

What's the matter!?

"Giant Demon Beast (High Beast)!!"

Tsuru was shocked by the fact that the demonic beast she was fighting was not the real Royal Beast, and Lina was shocked by the word Royal Beast.

"The only dragon that has ever appeared in the human realm is the dragon whose body contains the Royal Beast and the Ten Extreme Heavenly Beasts of the Royal Metal and the Demon Lab."

"What, what!?"

Not only Tsuru, but also Lina, Rosé, Shizuka, and Yuma were shocked. So far, dozens of demon beasts have emerged from the Royal Beast Realm, but among them, the only demon beast that was called the Royal Beast was Leo Metal. And even though I have been subjected to a lot of suffering from the demon lab, it is also said that only 10 dragon demons from the Ten Extreme Heavens were called the Royal Beasts.

"Wait a minute! As for the Bull Demon King, he called himself the Royal Beast!" Besides, what kind of a high-grade demon beast is that? "

"I see... it seems that I have to explain the ecology of the demon beast to you from scratch."

The Tiger Emperor explained the demon beast to the dragons with a dazed look on his face.

What is a demon beast?

A monster created long ago by a single god as a hostile being to humans. Humans develop civilization all at once to fight beasts, win battles with them, banish them to the Beast Realm, and seal them.

Exiled to the Beast Realm and closed to the world, the Beast begins to study its own evolutionary methods to avenge the exiled humans. And for thousands of years, it was studied and completed by Yggdrasil, a world tree of all things.

The world tree has the power to create life, and infinitely generates the fruit of the demon beast.

In this way, the mass breeding of demon beasts began in the demonic beast realm. However, there was a low probability that the fruit of the demonic beast created from the world tree would produce a higher species of demon beast. And it is the demonic beast born from its fruit that is the high-grade demonic beast.

Higher Beasts are much more intelligent than regular beasts and can communicate in human language. And the amount of magic power was so high that it eventually took control of the vast demonic beast realm.

After that, the high-grade demon beasts (high beasts) formed an organization that brought together the world, the demon beast army, and created the demon beast realm, which ruled everything with violence.

But in the midst of his army of demons and beasts, there was no end in strife as to who stood above him. In the midst of the controversy, a demonic beast with more qualities evolved into a king's demonic beast and completed the upward and downward relations of a full king's demonic beast.

The Royal Beast has absolute power and divine power that can't be resisted by the High Beast, so it didn't take long for the Royal Beast to rule the world.

"... well, this is how the society of the Demon Beast Realm was made." In other words, the demonic beast of the demonic beast realm is divided into three stages. It is the lowest demonic beast that is not significantly different from the demonic beast in the human world. It is the demonic beast (beast). It is a high-grade demonic beast (high beast) that is rarely born from the world tree of all things, Yggdrasil. It is the highest-grade demonic beast (royal beast) that has evolved and gained the divine power from the high-grade demonic beast. That's why, in short, you're talking about the high-grade demon beast you've been fighting. "

"... I see."

His long explanation solved about 70% of what Tsuru had in mind. However, I realize that I haven't explained the important thing yet.

"That's why Metchakata Eagle and Bull Demon King are not the Royal Beasts." The danger level was over 30! "

The danger is nothing like the strength of a demon beast.

"What!?"

"" "" Shh!? "" "

The facts of this shock are outweighed by Tsuru.

"The danger level is the number of effects of the magic power of the demon beast on the human world." Well, it's true that magic beasts become more powerful and ferocious than that. "

What, then, is the difference between a Royal Beast and another demonic beast that is not a divine power?

The Royal Beast is clearly different from the other beasts. It is a force of battle!

S-So this is a battle force!?

Leena took out the Hazard Level Checker (8) and removed it from the screen. I was surprised to find that Tiger Emperor had recently added some numbers to this device.

"The battle force is a number that indicates the strength of humans and demon beasts themselves, and it moves the situation greatly at that height." That number is the biggest thing that can tell a demon from a beast. "

Lina and the others took a breath away.

"Many of the high-grade demon beasts (high beasts) you've fought against have a strength of between 10,000 and 100,000." However, high-risk beasts such as the assistant cadre, the Metchakata Eagle, and the Bull Demon King may be as strong as a million yuan. "

Once the tiger emperor stopped talking, he took a deep breath and began talking again.

"However, the Royal Beast is different." Their strength is at least three million. "

What, three million?!

"" "" Huh!? "" "

Tsuru and Lina show their most surprised faces today. Indeed, it was a fact that the strength of the Ten Extreme Heavenly Candidate and the Ten Extreme Heavenly Candidate of the Magician Lab was as different as the heavens and the earth, even though they had the same danger level of 30 units. But when I knew it clearly as a number, the surprise was different.

"The rumor is that there are more powerful demon beasts in the army than I am." That's why you shouldn't have no hands or feet in charge of the future! "

When the Tiger Emperor cried out, he placed his hand on the ground and poured his divine power into it.

Then, a huge white fire pillar rose from Tsuru's feet and swallowed Tsuru. Then, the fire pillar gradually became a huge pillar of ice, and Tsuru was completely pickled in ice.
