At the seventh rank, Kong Yang could control twelve shadow blades. Now, having broken through to the eighth rank, ascended the throne of the Demon King, and fused with the Dragon's Remnant, the power and number of these shadow blades have naturally increased significantly.
Kong Yang had tried it; let alone twelve shadow blades, even twenty-four or thirty-six, Kong Yang could easily split them apart.
However, the effect was far less effective than twelve shadow blades. Sometimes, it's not that more is always better, but rather that the perfect combination of quantity and power is the most effective.

Chapter Seventeen: Preparing to Conquer Medori! (Second Bonus Chapter)
On their way back, Stank, Jer, and Gancho witnessed what true power was.
Along the way, none of the magical beasts could withstand a single blow from Kong Yang.
Even a pack of Flame Wolves, more than twenty of them attacking together, was wiped out by Kong Yang in the blink of an eye. Kong Yang's Shadow Blade was truly terrifying.
It merely strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk, and no magical beast could get close to it wherever it went.
Powerful! Unrivaled! Unattainable!
A series of adjectives were used to describe Kong Yang.
This also made Stak and Jell give up the idea of inviting Kong Yang to do the mission. With such a strong person by their side, they would only be a burden, or rather, an accessory.
Kong Yang was unaware of what the three of them were thinking. Along the way, Kong Yang also collected quite a few monster corpses.
Without exception, they were all accepted without question and then thrown into the small world to serve as food for the World Tree saplings.
Furthermore, unbeknownst to the three, a group of claw shadows were summoned and sent to hunt more magical beasts in the wild, since the World Tree Sapling was a super-rich entity that devoured a fortune.
"Hey Kong Yang, how many Demon Gods are left in your race?"
"I am the only remaining member of the Demon God Clan. It is very difficult for the Demon God Clan to have offspring, and I am the only one left."
"Sorry, I don't know."
"It's nothing. This is the rule of this world. It's inherently difficult for powerful beings to reproduce."
Jer agrees with this statement, because compared to humans, it is also a very long time for elves to give birth.
It's quite normal for an adult elven couple to go a hundred or two hundred years without having children, because elves are a long-lived species, and if they could conceive easily, the world would be in chaos.
Humans, on the other hand, can conceive within a few months of a couple getting together, barring any unforeseen circumstances, and have a child the following year. Compared to elves, the difference is simply too great.
Of course, the most outrageous are not humans, but beastmen, who not only get pregnant easily, but also give birth to multiple children at once.
However, this topic made the atmosphere somewhat heavy, and no one else said anything, but they all developed some special opinions about Kong Yang.
As the last member of the clan, bearing offspring was of paramount importance to him.
Soon, around three or four in the afternoon, the group finally returned.
As soon as they returned, everyone naturally went their separate ways. There had been too much to do today, and everyone needed to rest, especially Staktan, who was about to start doing missions to earn money tomorrow.
I've been partying for two days straight, the day before yesterday and yesterday. I need to rest today, and I have to go out and make money tomorrow.
This is the reality for most adventurers: live for the moment, and if they run out of money, they'll have to work hard tomorrow.
Kong Yang had nothing else to do, so he went to the food and wine pavilion alone.
"Medoli, a glass of wine and two side dishes, please."
As usual, the food and drink pavilion was packed with customers today, with people in most of the places.
"Huh? Kong Yang? Where did you and Shi Tank go yesterday? We haven't seen you all day."
"Ganqiu dragged me to the next town."
"Huh? What are you going to the next town for?"
"Browsing a succubus shop."
"What? You're hopeless, you lecher."
'Thump~'
What was supposed to be a tray has now become Medoli's weapon, and Kong Yang's head was hit hard.
"I had no choice; it was all Ganqiu and Staktan's fault."
"Don't give me that. I was fooled by you yesterday. You men are all the same, lecherous bastards."
"Aren't you the same? The winged man laid three eggs, which is clearly a sign of dissatisfaction."
Kong Yang muttered to himself, but he forgot that Medori was a winged person and her hearing was quite good.
What did you just say?
"Huh? Medori, did you hear that?"
"Who told you about this?"
Black energy! Killing intent! All of it surged up at that moment.
I crossed the line myself, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.
"Don't get excited. I heard it from Staktan. Yes, it was him."
"Stank is dead, but you're no better. Die."
'Boom~'
Kong Yang was knocked to the ground, and none of the people drinking and eating around him were surprised.
Here, there are always some reckless people who are courting death. Although Medori is a flower in the Sake Pavilion, she is also a rose with thorns.
"Seriously, her temper is too explosive. Should I find someone else to date? She's not the only winged person."
The thought had barely formed when Kong Yang extinguished it. If he gave up, wouldn't that be failure?
As a powerful demon lord, it would be too shameful if he couldn't even win over a winged girl.
However, winning over Medori will be extremely difficult.
Kong Yang didn't know where to start, and because he had visited the succubus shop twice, he hadn't left a good impression on her. In addition, the scene of their first meeting made his approach quite difficult.
'Boom~'
"Here you go, your food and wine!"
Just as Kong Yang was pondering, Medoli brought over the dishes.
Although she can be sharp-tongued, she has a kind heart and doesn't neglect her work.
"By the way, Medori, are you free tonight?"
"what are you up to?"
"I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"Thank you, but I don't need it."
“I have food from other places that you can’t buy here.”
As he spoke, Kong Yang took out a piece of tiramisu, a dessert that didn't exist in this Western fantasy world.
"what is this?"
"Would you like to try some tiramisu?"
This is a tiramisu mini cake that girls love the most. Kong Yang is sure that once Medori has tried it, she will definitely love it.
A love for sweets is a common trait among most girls.
Looking at the delicate little cake in front of her, Medori glanced at Kong Yang, and then thought about how Kong Yang had repeatedly taken advantage of her. She decided to consider this cake as her apology.
Thinking of this, Medori picked it up, took a bite, and then a delicious taste she had never experienced before filled her taste buds.
This tastes absolutely delicious; she has never eaten anything like it before.
The tiramisu cake wasn't very big, and Medori finished it in just a few bites.
However, it was clear that she still wanted to eat.
Kong Yang smiled upon seeing this; he had succeeded, Medoli had taken the bait.
With the help of delicacies and snacks that don't exist in this world, Kong Yang felt that he could take this opportunity to win over Medori.

Chapter Eighteen: Sharing Dinner! (Bonus Chapter 3)
Because the food and wine pavilion is a tavern, it is busiest at night.
So she worked until very late before all the guests left. The huge food and drink pavilion was entirely staffed by Medori alone, which was quite a workload.
Kong Yang waited quietly to the side, waiting for Medoli to finish her tasks.
Fortunately, Medori only needs to tidy up this area; she doesn't need to clean up the plates or wine glasses. She just needs to clean this area.
"It's finally over."
"Hey, you're finally done with your work? Do you have some free time now?"
"You haven't left yet?"
"What are you saying? Can't you see whether I left or not?"
"You~"
Seeing Kong Yang, Mei Duoli was very angry; this guy always managed to make her angry.
However, thinking of the delicious food Kong Yang had brought out, she chose not to get angry for the time being, and she gradually got used to it.
Without wasting any words, Kong Yang took out a series of exquisite dishes, a beautiful-looking cake, and some red wine.
Medori was also startled by the sudden appearance of the delicious food, especially when she saw the beautiful Black Forest cake, her eyes sparkling.
"Sit down and have a taste. You've been busy all night."
"Hmph, do you need to tell me?"
However, although he may be sharp-tongued, his actions are quite honest.
Looking at this Black Forest cake, Medori didn't know where to begin, because no matter what she did, she would ruin the delicious dish.
Seeing Medoli's dilemma, Kong Yang picked up a knife, cut the Black Forest cake into four pieces, and placed one piece in front of Medoli.
Seeing this, Medori glanced at Kong Yang but didn't say anything. She picked up a little bit with her fork, put it in her mouth, and immediately felt extremely satisfied.
Kong Yang couldn't understand why girls liked eating this kind of thing so much.
But as long as Medori is happy, that's all that matters; nothing else matters.
Medori enjoyed the meal, and Kong Yang was also very satisfied, because only he had these things. This meant that if Medori wanted to eat them again in the future, she would have to come to him, which was his opportunity.
"This is so delicious! What is this?"
"Black Forest cake, if you like, I can send you one every day."
"Good~"
Before she could finish speaking, Medori swallowed the rest of her words.
As a bar worker, she had never had a boyfriend, but she still understood men's character very well.
She had seen countless times how men used food and jewelry to seduce women. Although it was supposed to be consensual, she always felt that these women were too materialistic.
"No need, one dose is enough."
“I have plenty here, really. If you like to eat it, I can make it in different ways, so that you don’t repeat the same thing every day.”
'Gurgle~'
Want to scold her? She really wanted to, but her girlish modesty prevented her from refusing.
Most importantly, she knew very well that Kong Yang definitely wanted to seduce her.
No man is nice to a woman for no reason; there is always a reason. In most cases, it's because the man wants to make a move on the woman.
"I know what you're thinking, but I advise you to give up the idea. I will not agree."
"I haven't even said anything yet, Medori, and you're already rejecting me?"
"I know exactly what you're trying to say, and I can tell you definitively, it's impossible."
