The Man seeing this moved further inwards as two more automatons joined the ones in front and they all got into a defensive position. They all stood watching when the entity that was forcing its way in finally pushed its head in... it was a horse... a huge jet-black horse however all of them felt that something was massively different about this horse.
The horse began walking forward gently as a strange aura began to fill the room... getting to its middle section, they noticed that the horse was mounted as the effect they noticed when the horse was trying to come in was seen again however as the horse continued walking, the material holding the mirror tore apart revealing a being sitting on the horse.
The being wore armour that covered its entire body leaving only its head which was just a skeleton, a sword could be seen handing by its sides and at its back was a long spear. As soon as the horse left the bounds of the summoning pool, a weird aura burst out of the two creatures as an unholy fire burst forth from their bodies.
The being's skeleton head was completely covered in flames and the entirety of the horse was also set ablaze but both beings seemed to be fine. After a few seconds, the horse bowed its head as its rider got down and gave the man a knight's salute, behind him another creature could also be seen stepping out of the mirror but unlike the initial being this only simply walked through it by itself.
This new one wore a simple cloak and carried a staff with it as it stepped out of the summoning area, this new creature joined the knight and bowed as well. The man stood for a while and Kingsley who was seeing it all waited to see what other types of creatures would come out but following the staffed being was another mounted knight. Kingsley didn't waste any more time as he appraised the creature

"Hmm, it's a bit more powerful than I thought… well that depends on the amount of undead it can summon during battle" Kingsley muttered as he turned his attention to the other governors who had received the same creature or a similar one.
The undead they summoned was not only powerful but even after multiple scrutinization from kingsley, he couldn't find any life draining aura leaking from them… they were much more contained that it was shocking. Since it was deemed safe, Kingsley turned his attention away from them and focused on the place he had once visited
"If only you people knew how much danger you guys are in" Kingsley said as he focused on the massive tree city that was called the capital of Euroa
Due to the increase brought about by the system, his territory now covered the entirety of the tree city, he could see every clueless Elf going about their day. He could also see the Elven soldiers fortifying their walls and digging traps as though if he wanted to send soldiers to attack them, it would be from the ground.
Since he was dealing with the undead for now, the best method was to simply attack them from the front because doing drops from above into their territory was risky considering how many they were but these were sentient people and Elves weren't that many… to catch them completely off guard, he could just teleport a few teams into the territory and occupy their main guards with Ethan's dragons.
The entire city would be wiped out in a matter of minutes if he did that but he wasn't that wicked, the elves had done literally nothing wrong to deserve was they would be facing in a week's time if they don't surrender however their surrender was needed for his territory to grow in size. He could simply cover up the entire nation like he had done now and let them be
However, that method wouldn't be helping him in any way, they would be in his territory and would not be contributing to help it grow. He didn't have that much compassion in him to show to the natives... as for the many human territories, he had come across in his territory… he would focus on them later on but for now, he would let them be.
"My lord, there is another problem" One of the thrones said
"What now?"
"The demons, they've changed" The throne answered
"What?" Kingsley asked confused
He didn't understand what they meant, of course, he knew that they had changed. His entire territory just ranked up even if it didn't really affect the emperors much but it still boosted the total strength of the territory. The entire territory had changed so he didn't understand what they meant
"My lord, they all seem to have become another people"
"I don't understand" Kingsley said but still checked on the demons anyway
…
Due to the sudden rank up, your troops have undergone an evolution
…
A system message suddenly appeared and Kingsley immediately turned his view again to the war front. He could see his soldiers everywhere, setting up tent in the destroyed ghoul city but he noticed something odd… there were no Onis. the Oni were red human-looking beings but he couldn't find their signature red skin anywhere. He could only find the Demon goblins and they were everywhere.

Name: Turo
Race: Archdemon
Rank: Disaster
Level: 1
Health: 100,000
Physique: 90,000
Spirit: 80,000
Description;
A race created by the Demon God out of pure spite. They are known for their ferociousness and incredible might. Created to be the counterparts to the Archangels, they are naturally immune to all conventional Demonic weaknesses and possess the strength to match an Archangel evenly in battle.
…
"What?" Kingsley asked himself confused at the sudden development
He knew that he hadn't created any creature like this nor had he evolved any creature at the moment so he had no idea where these ones were from. Looking properly at the uniforms, Kingsley identified most of these Archdemons to be his soldiers, the Oni and the Demon Goblin alike.
The Unique badges that were sewn on to their uniforms to identify each race should anything happen like the modern military's dog tags showed that they were once a part of the different races in fact Turo who he had appraised used to be an Oni but now he looked almost the same as a demon goblin with the small horns.
"No... wait, their less pale than a Demon goblin... they nearly look human, did the rank up cause them to evolve" Kingsley asked
There was no other reason for such a change except the rank up since he didn't do it and he doubted that anyone else who had such power would use it to benefit him instead of themselves. The evolution didn't seem to change much about them since their general power was still the same as when they first ranked up assuming that the evolution was done later on.
Hmm.... even the Dragons evolved too... Ancient Dragons, that does make sense but they already had power to match one so what gives" Kingsley said only to shrug it all off later on since it was all to his benefit.
Other than the Dragons, the two Emperor-level beings, Viktor and Athena had their races changed to fit their new roles. it was as though the Arch demon race was some sort of end point of all demon races when they go too far ahead. Both were renamed Archdemon King and Queen respectively... it didn't make sense much considering that common knowledge was that Archdemons were leaders.
"Well, if the Archdemons are this plentiful it will make sense for them to have some sort of leader amongst them" Kingsley thought as he shrugged since he didn't know how the Lore of this world worked.
…
At the very edge of the Aenon forest was a set of small hills and on these hills, a set of people could be seen standing and watching the events occurring in the distance. A couple of gryphons could be seen lying at the foot of the hill and watched over by an Elf. These were the gryphon riders sent out by Euroa and a few kilometers away from them was an occupied ghoul city.
