Chapter 2378 Snow Elf Conspiracy

Chapter 2378  Snow Elf Conspiracy

Moon Fright was on the brink of breaking through to the devil rank, but she was holding back for past few decades. For centuries, her race had known the bitter truth: no matter how talented a Frosling was, they couldn't break into the noble class of the devil realm or even dream of reaching the ruler class. The reason? The Frosell title demon core method, given to them by the Snow Elves, was low-tier. It would only create a low-tier devil core, confining them to the chivalry-class and preventing them from ever ascending to the nobility-class, much less the ruler-class. It simply wasn't capable of taking them far enough in their pursuit of transcendence.
Learning this was a painful awakening. The Froslings realized the Snow Elves had never been their friends. Instead, they'd been manipulative overlords who wanted servants that looked like them but were cheap and easy to control. The Froslings had never been naive enough to believe the Snow Elves were their saviors, but discovering that the only title demon core method available for their race was designed to block their path to transcendence hit like a cruel betrayal.
Generations of Froslings had been grateful to the Snow Elves believing they not only gave them a place in the Dark Realms but a opportunity to earn the resources to pursue transcendence so their race can soon establish themselves in Dark Realms, but now they seethed with resentment. Their path to transcendence had been deliberately severed, leaving their race stuck in a subservient role for millennia.
Despite knowing the truth, the Froslings were forced to swallow their anger and bow before their oppressors. For centuries, they'd served the Snow Elves, attending to their every need, while neglecting the growth and prosperity of their own race. As a result, they never had the chance to carve out a place for themselves in the Dark Realms.
The land they called home wasn't even theirs—it was part of the Snow Elves' territory. If they dared to demand justice or even ask for an explanation about the deception, they risked losing what little they had. Resistance wasn't an option either. The Snow Elves were a semi-ruler class race with many powerful devils in their ranks, while the Froslings had barely a handful of devils capable of holding their own in the chivalry-class, none in nobility or ruler class let alone any who had begun the journey toward transcendence.
Trapped in this cycle of dependence and betrayal, the Froslings could do little more than endure and hope for a way to reclaim their dignity—one desperate generation at a time. The Froslings needed the Snow Elves now more than ever because after seeing through their treachery, the Froslings had begun to spread out across the Dark Realm, searching for a place to call their own—or someone who could help meet their race's needs. But exploring the Dark Realm required a significant amount of resources, and the only way the Froslings knew to gather funds for these resources was by continuing to serve the Snow Elves.
In response to their dire circumstances, the Froslings began teaching their younger generation that the Dark Realm wasn't some land of evil to be feared but a land of opportunities—if one was desperate and daring enough. They encouraged their talented youth to venture beyond Snow Elf territory, knowing there was no future for them within its borders.
Among this new wave of trailblazers was Moon Fright. She was one of the rare Froslings who managed to establish herself in the Dark Realm without the Snow Elves' protection. Her success, however, was due in part to the crafting skills she had learned in the Snow Elven Forge as a young Frosling and to the Devil Merchant Code selecting her as a demon merchant when she came of age. Luck had played a significant role in her survival; for most Froslings, even the talented ones, the Dark Realm proved far too harsh to navigate alone.
Surviving in the Dark Realm on her own, Moon Fright hadn't had the luxury of addressing the real reason she left her people and ventured into this unforgiving realm. But when she stood on the brink of breaking through to the devil rank, Moon Fright understood what her race truly needed: a complete, high-level titled demon core method that could help them forge high-rank devil core capable of breaking past the chivalry class, allow them to venture in to nobility and ruler class, and maybe even progress far along the path of transcendence.
However, she also knew that discovering an entirely new titled demon core method would only benefit the future generations of her race. It wouldn't help her or the current generation of Froslings, who had already relied on the flawed Frosell titled demon core method. What her people needed was a way to modify the Frosell method—something that could aid both the older and younger generations in pursuing transcendence. For the sake of her race's survival and dignity, Moon resolved to find that solution, no matter the cost.
Having resolved this, Moon had delayed breaking through to the devil rank for decades. She stubbornly chose to dedicate her life to finding a way to modify the Frosell titled demon core method. Her determination stemmed from the fact that using a higher-rank titled demon core would allow a demon to forge a more powerful devil core upon breaking through to the devil realm. This would let them skip the chivalry class entirely and enter the nobility class directly. The stronger one's titled demon core, the higher their rank in the nobility class as a devil.
Moon was convinced that if she succeeded in her pursuit, the sacrifice of delaying her breakthrough would be more than worth it. After all, there were already enough Froslings who had broken through to the devil realm and stuck in chivalry class but hadn't made any real progress in their race's ultimate pursuit. Adding herself to their number wouldn't have changed anything, and she couldn't bear the thought of living with the regret of failing to address the core issue.

AN: I have had to slow down the chapter updates as I was stuck figuring out the power system in the Devil Realm. This was becoming necessary as Wyatt has made a dazzling introduction of the EGG Guild to the myriad realms through the crafting duel and now preparing to establish himself in the Dark Realm. 
Thank you for your patience.
