'So Demonmir's demon soul fragnt is on the sa level as Argo's is?'
Eren asked Alephee out of curiosity. The latter hadn't co into contact with Demonmir so she couldn't tell. However, she had sothing else to tell the butcher.
'Eren, I am not saying you should beco irrationally fearless. But don't worry too much about demonic rankers like this Demonmir guy. At least not because of their demonization.
From the looks of things, Demonmir's standing in the kingdom's eyes is not sothing you can ignore. His faction of the Montmorency clan and his reach within the royal court can hurt you more than the demon inside him ever will.'
Alephee had a completely different opinion than Levine and Jiana on the sa matter. She was more concerned about Demonmir's political might than his individual power. She also understood the question Eren wanted to ask her. So she added further.
'You want to know more about demonic rankers? To put it simply, they are rankers seeking blessings from the demon realm. They will offer their bodies as shells to the demons in exchange for demonic powers.
They can be considered uninitiated demonic rankers if they perform demonic rituals to attract demons and have yet to beco successful. So rankers manage to attract a demon soul fragnt into their bodies through ritual. They manage to keep it slumbering for the most part so that they can use their powers passively without any risk. They can be called initiated demonic rankers.
Lastly, rankers who managed to not only attract demon soul fragnts inside their bodies but also ta such fragnts to do their bidding for them are called fully awakened demonic rankers.'
Eren kept walking towards the giant gate with the three ladies surrounding him in silence. Jiana had told him that the demon soul fragnt inside Ottoman was as strong as Argo.
Eren didn't understand what it ant by any demon soul fragnt being as strong as Argo. However, the news still put him on edge. Especially after witnessing the feats Argo could perform when he was battling Oliver and his forces.
Alephee allowed Eren to take a ntal breather before speaking up.
'Of course, what I have told you about demonic rankers is a simple way of putting it and there's obviously more to it. But that should be enough for you for now.
The degree of demonization and the power of the demon soul fragnts dictate the boost a ranker would experience in terms of their raw power. A strong demon produces a strong demon soul fragnt. With a strong demon soul fragnt, demonic rankers can unlock more demonic potential.
However, with increased benefits co additional risks. Strong demons are not easy to control. If soone loses the ntal fight they had with the demon soul fragnt at the ti of demonic possession, they may have to say goodbye to their ego forever.
After all, the first goal of demonic possession for demons is to have mortal shells. Stronger demons would just take over the possessed entities in one go. Or they'll wait and bide their ti until an opportunity arises. They'll take over the ranker when they are at their weakest, finally granting them the mortal vessels they needed all along.
The two Demon Princes sending their soul fragnts into the sa world at almost the sa ti is no coincidence. It is obviously due to the unnatural interference of the cause-and-effect fabric of the world. That harlot and I are both to bla for this, I guess.
Still, sothing doesn't quite add up.
I find it completely unbelievable that soone from the land of Anfang managed to ta a demon soul fragnt of a Demon Prince. There's obviously sothing more to the story.'
Eren processed Alephee's words slowly in his head. A chronic planner like him didn't want to face Demonmir until he knew enough about the topic. However, he couldn't just go back to White Raven the way he ca.
Eren needed to get through the whole ordeal to get the things he wanted from the graduation event. It was the whole reason he had co here. He wasn't sure how much he should ask without triggering the continental array's response. But he decided to push its limits for his own sake.
'Alephee, how are demons categorized? And what is a Demon Prince?'
Alephee took her ti to reply. Her words were carefully chosen so as not to cause a scene in Edin.
'There are countless demons who infiltrate various worlds of all sorts looking for God Sparks. But not every demon is the sa. Just like the royalty of Edinburgh, demons have a hierarchy to them.
Lesser demons, greater demons, archdemons, etc. are as countless as the stars in the cosmos. But there are only seven Demon Princes at any given ti in any world.
Previously, all demons were chaotic beings that didn't believe in order. But then a certain soone ca along and established an ironclad rule of hierarchy for them.
Things changed for the demon kind after that. Now a demon would have to rise through the ranks and defeat any of the existing Demon Princes to take over their domains.
These Demon Princes are like de facto leaders of all the demons that are below them.'
Alephee's answers only created more questions in Eren's head. He sighed in his head before responding.
'My dear Alephee… While I understand that the Demon Princes are rare, it does nothing to solve the mystery around them in my head. I don't know anything about demons. And I understand that I won't be able to for a long while.
Please answer this in a way I can understand. For example, how many Sages would it take to defeat a Demon Prince? This is the kind of scale I can understand at my current level.'
Alephee chuckled when Eren wanted to give him a simple answer to a complex question. She pondered for a bit before responding.
'I'm not sure how many Sages it would take to defeat a Demon Prince… But…'
Alephee took another long pause as if choosing her words carefully after doing so sandboxing in her head.
'But… A Demon Prince can take on 100s of Sages attacking him as one entity and still win.'
Eren stopped in his tracks when he heard the answer he received from Alephee. The Sage scale of asurent he had created for himself quickly beca insufficient in his head to asure an actual Demon Prince's might.
