>lore about demon lords. "How to not summon a demon lord" and "That time I was reincarnated as a slime" both have the theme as well as similar procedures. The followers are called "fallen" and they all give off purple energy. The difference is explained as demons having endlessly recharging magic, it just flows through them, contrary to regular mages who have to recharge after using it.
I earlier did something to try and activate the process, going by what was suggested in "that time I was reincarnated as a slime". They're saying according to the legend someone would have to kill 10000 people to become a demon lord. Spoiler: The slime does this by killing an army attacking his nation.
There is a scene where the slime mc uses the dead bodies of a nearby battlefield to summon a demon. It may sound like an obvious possibility but I had not considered this before. Normally the person carrying out a ritual would have to perform the sacrifice by personally killing the offering. At least that was my perception of it.

Going by what was suggested in this story I tried offering 10000 dead bodies from the war in Ukraine. Arrogant as it may seem, my galfed faction are involved there so I can at least claim some right to them.

Well it seems to have worked, for something:
Last night I had a dream where I was hiding in a house in Ukraine. An armed Ukrainian was in the house but paid no attention to me because fighting was going on outside. I heard gunshots and yelling. It felt like a small town area, the house we were in was one floor only.
Some stuff happened and I went to bed. I then woke up from people rushing into the room, but I was too sleepy to react and pretended to still be sleeping. I heard 2-3 Ukrainians say they were "looking for reddies" and they dragged out a Russian who had been hiding in the room while I slept. One of them then walked up to me and pinched my left hand through the bed cover, but I didn't move and they left again. I got the impression they thought I was dead.

I got up and hid in the next room. I then became aware of a girl wearing only a blanket and a sheet also hiding there. We were lying flat on the floor while the yelling and shooting increased outside. I saw through the window that there was a huge pile of deformed dead bodies in the yard. This made me so disgusted I started panicking with disgust and I said to myself "if I look at them more I could panic so much that I stop breathing, so I better not look more".

The girl, who presented herself as the younger sister of one of the Ukrainians, then started some out of place flirting with me. She pulled the sheet aside and exposed her body, then said "I'm 14". I was still feeling sick from having seen the pile of dead bodies and only looked at her briefly. "They're very cute" I said (about her tits) but it was clear to both of us that I just said that to be nice and didn't find her especially attractive. The shooting outside intensified and I started crawling towards the next room for cover. I looked back at the girl and she stuck out her tongue straight forward in the pose equal to giving someone the middle finger. She then crawled after me into the next room. She put her finger over the lips with the meaning "stay silent", dropped the sheet on the floor and started getting physical with me. By this time I woke up, but the dream scenery stayed for a while like an overlay in my mind.
The girls pointed at herself and said:
"I'm demon nature".
