A Demon's Journey

Chapter 110 - Destructive Heavenly Tribulations (2)

As Azaroth sensed multiple people coming towards his location, he knew that the situation was going to turn very complicated.

Especially if Sophie met Noah, Laura, and others.

It was one thing for him to inform her about Laura and others, but it was quite another for her to discover the information on her own.

She wouldn't listen to his explanation and might even inform her father about it.

That would be too hazardous.

Azaroth took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He connected his mind to Laura and sent her a command 'Take everyone away. Don't let them approach my training ground. In fact, go and hide somewhere else.'

Laura was surprised to hear Azaroth's command in her mind. She even doubted for a second whether it was really his voice or not.

'Get moving!'

Azaroth's voice shouted in her mind.

This time, Laura didn't know why but she was sure that it was Azaroth's voice.

She found out that she couldn't inform Noah about it since he was running ahead of her.

Instead, Laura turned around and told everyone else about Azaroth's order.

Yrellea was quite unsatisfied as she wanted to go and help Azaroth but she also knew that Azaroth abhorred it when someone disobeyed his order.

It took her some moments for her mind to reach a conclusion.

She decided to accompany Laura and get back. If Azaroth was asking them to get away, he was prepared to deal with this strange heavenly lightning.

Azaroth sensed that among his retainers, only Noah was approaching him swiftly.

He concentrated and connected to Noah's mind 'Go to Laura. I will deal with this alone.'

"Boss, I can help you," Noah spoke out.

Azaroth replied with an anxious look 'Perhaps. But I need you to return and protect the others.'

It was only then that Noah stopped and he clenched his fists. He was frustrated that he couldn't help Azaroth.

"…As you command, Boss,"

Noah turned around and dashed towards Laura's direction.

Azaroth had in reality lied to him that he had to protect Laura and others. The target of this Heavenly Tribulation was him alone. It wouldn't target anyone else.

But as he gazed at Zena, who was swallowing the Heavenly Thunder greedily, he understood that he possessed an extraordinary supporter.

Even he was surprised to see that Zena could eat the Heavenly Thunder.

A smile soon appeared on Azaroth's face as he thought 'Zena can be the ultimate counter for the Heavenly Thunder.'

Soon, the 5th Bolt dispersed.

Zena didn't seem as though she was full just yet.

Azaroth spoke out, "Come here, Zena."

Zena heard Azaroth and she immediately turned towards him. She happily squealed before flying towards Azaroth.

Before long, she was near Azaroth's body. She began to rub her small body against Azaroth's face.

When Zena's body touched his face, Azaroth carefully analyzed her body.

He noticed the enormous amount of energy in Zena's body. She was quickly digesting it and her cultivation was rising rapidly. Her cultivation speed was far quicker than when he made her eat 2 Star Beast Corpses.

Once she finishes digesting, she would reach the 3 Star Rank. As she grew stronger, her body was also going to get larger.

Azaroth guessed that Zena would have to reach 4 Star Rank to begin carrying him on her body.

But anyway, the Heavenly Tribulation was still not over and he focused on it.

Azaroth spoke to Zena with a calm voice, "Swallow all you can. I will deal with the residual that will remain. Don't force yourself into absorbing more than you can handle."

Hearing Azaroth's words, Zena made a fierce look as she flew around his face.

Azaroth guessed that she wanted to say to not underestimate her.

He ignored her antics and saw the Heavenly Tribulation was about to fall.

"Get serious." He ordered Zena while taking a stance and using Heavenly Lightning around his body.

He used Dragon Jaw again. But this time, instead of using Hell Flames, he was using it with Red Heavenly Lightning.

The pure Red Heavenly Lightning used up more Ardor than Hell Flames.

Azaroth was using his 4 Star Ardor for this attack.

"Come."

As if this word was the trigger, the red lightning flashed and fell towards Azaroth.

Zena immediately opened her wings that shone with Crimson Color.

The Heavenly Tribulation was attracted towards Zena and she opened her mouth to swallow this Heavenly Tribulation again.

Azaroth noticed that Zena's complexion was turning ugly with each passing moment.

It seemed as though this time the Heavenly Tribulation was far beyond Zena's ability to absorb.

He had to act faster.

Without wasting a single moment, Azaroth whispered, "Dragon Jaw!"

Without losing a millisecond, the Red Lightning that surrounded him soared.

Azaroth's Red Lightning went past Zena and clashed against the Heavenly Tribulation.

Azaroth was utilizing Heavenly Lightning against the Heavenly Tribulation. Thus, the Heavenly Tribulation was unable to purify it in the same way as his Hell Flames Dragon Jaw. He had little trouble resisting since Zena had already absorbed the deadliest portion of this thunderbolt.

Zena closed her eyes as she felt her body getting really heavy.

Azaroth looked at her for a second and raised his hands to catch her. As his hands touched Zena, he felt a strong bolt of lightning from her body.

'She is completely flooded with Heavenly Lightning.'

However, it didn't appear that Zena's life was in danger. In fact, it seemed as though she was just unconscious. Or perhaps napping.

His Red Lightning Dragon Jaw managed to hold on for some time as the 6th Thunderbolt soon dispersed.

Azaroth took quick breaths while focusing on the clouds above.

Some moments passed and Azaroth was surprised that the seventh bolt hadn't fallen on him yet.

But the surprise vanished as he understood the reason.

'This must be the final attack. It's gathering all of its energy and will attack me.'

Taking a deep breath, a serious look appeared on Azaroth's face.

A pair of horns rose on his head, along with a pair of pure white wings. With a solemn expression, Azaroth began to gather the remaining bits of his 4 Star Rank Ardor.

This could be considered his final attack using the 4 Star Rank Ardor.

"Yin-Yang Fusion Technique: Sacred Devil Thunderblaster!"

In Azaroth's one hand, Red Lightning crackled. While in Azaroth's other hand, Black Lightning was sparkling.

Azaroth brought both his hands together and combined these two Lightning Elements. A dark brown colored lightning was formed as a result.

Azaroth continued to empower it by using more of his Ardor while keeping an eye on the clouds.

The final wave of the Heavenly Tribulation could begin at any moment.

Azaroth noticed a faint flash of Red Lightning in the clouds. His eyes widened slightly and he immediately raised his arms to use his Sacred Devil Thunderblaster.

He was well aware that he had been a little hasty in using this attack. It still hadn't been charged up to its full potential but Azaroth had no choice.

If he was even a moment late, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning would have struck him and destroyed him completely.

In his previous life, Azaroth had dealt with the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning on many different occasions. When he was breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm, the Demon God Realm, and when he constructed some forbidden world breaking arrays.

On those occasions, the Heavenly Lightning was far stronger than his strength. If not for his sufficient preparation beforehand, he would have bit the dust easily.

Today though, Azaroth saw that he had survived against this Heavenly Tribulation for so long without even preparing for it.

In the back of his mind, he was happy that he had chosen to cultivate the Triquetra Ardor.

In the world, other than the Celestials and the Dragon Race, only the weapon users who had achieved peak attainments would be able to resist Heavenly Tribulations with no preparations.

The Celestials lived in the heavens so the Heavenly Tribulations weren't very strong against them.

The Dragon Race possessed the strongest physique in the world. Thus, they could even resist the Heavenly Tribulation with their pure physique and make themselves even stronger.

Finally, weapon users, such as the Swordsman, would battle the Heavenly Tribulations with their distinct intents.

Their assaults were infused with not just Ardor, but also their intents in their particular weapon abilities.

Azaroth had a forced smile as he saw his Sacred Devil Thunderblaster being pushed back by the Heavenly Tribulation. He thought 'If only I was just a bit quicker.'

The Heavenly Tribulation soon pierced the Sacred Devil Thunderblaster into two parts and struck Azaroth's body.

The Wings on Azaroth's back began to release Holy Ardor that reduced the power of the Heavenly Tribulations while the horns on Azaroth's head began to empower his Ardor to strengthen his bodies' defense.

Azaroth felt his spirit getting attacked by that thunderbolt as well.

And after what felt like an eternity, the thunderbolt stopped. Azaroth soon fell down, his wings and horns disappearing.

Before falling unconscious, he heard a worried voice, "Edwin? Are you all right? Edwin?!"

Sophie approached Azaroth with a worried expression on her face.
