Demon King (DGC)

The Demon King (魔王, Maō) is a malevolent spiritual entity of incredible and terrible dark power related to all types of Demons and has an important connection to Zeref himself, many stories about the Demon King circulate Earthland, and many confuse the myths of Zeref with the entity.

The Demon Lords explain this confusion, the Demon King is in fact the Darkness of Zeref's heart, the part of Zeref that was sealed away long ago as the stories describe and now acts independent of him. The Demon King represents Zeref's negative and more aggressive feelings, his hatred at the structure of the flawed world, and desires to enslave and corrupt all life in a perverse desire to correct it.
