A Demon's Journey

Chapter 352 - Azaroth's Order To Black Hurricane

Azaroth was flying towards Crario. In reality, he was just flying towards Crario. His destination was a bit ahead of the capital.

He was planning to meet none other than Black Hurricane, who was currently the 4th Prince of this Kingdom.

After Azaroth's first meeting with this man, Azaroth naturally kept his tabs on him. The subordinate nearest to Black Hurricane had been spiritually marked by Azaroth.

Since the Black Hurricane managed to detect his Spiritual Mark last time, this time, it was implanted even deeper within an individual's spirit.

A Celestial's skill would be required to even detect this kind of Spiritual Mark and remove it.

Normally, it would take Azaroth a couple of days of flying to reach this destination. However, today, he was in a hurry.

Thus, Azaroth utilized his Lightning Ability to increase his pace far beyond the ordinary. He combined that Lightning Ability with his Wind Rush ability that further boosting his speed using Wind Energy.

Azaroth could boost his speed by releasing flames from his feet, but he decided against it. At his current speed, he could reach his destination in a couple of hours.

There was no need to be overly conspicuous.

Ever since his meeting with Azaroth, Black Hurricane had constructed large sensing arrays around him to alert him to a specific Aura Signature.

Within this sensing arrays, Black Hurricane had stored Azaroth's Aura Signature. He wanted to know when Azaroth had come close to him.

The last time, Azaroth had approached him and assaulted him without his knowledge.

This time, the sensing array sensed him for a split second before Azaroth's presence disappeared.

Black Hurricane was startled to sense Azaroth's presence in his territory, even for a split second. And he was even more terrified when Azaroth's presence disappeared.

'Is that man planning to attack me today? Should I utilize my ultimate defense? Will it prove useful against that man's attacks?'

"Lost in thoughts, my friend?" He heard an amused voice asking him from his side.

When Black Hurricane's consciousness returned, he saw that all his men around him had fallen to the ground. They were all grabbing their faces while Azaroth sat on his chair with a smirk on his face.

"W-W-What brings you here, Sir Azaroth?" Black Hurricane nervously asked.

Azaroth responded, "For no reason at all. What? Are you troubled?"

"Troubled? No. How can your presence trouble me?" Black Hurricane lightly laughed as he responded.

However, Azaroth's expression turned serious, "I see. So, you think of me as a lower existence and believe I can't trouble you? I see… I see…"

Black Hurricane's expression instantly changed. He was absolutely terrified by those words and responded to Azaroth, "No, no! This wasn't what I meant. I was just trying to make you feel comfortable."

Azaroth snorted in response, "Do I need you to make me feel comfortable?" He picked up an apple nearby and began to eat it.

"Anyway, my purpose for this visit was just to check up on how you are doing. It seems you have recovered from the damage I inflicted upon you," Azaroth spoke while looking around.

It was an impressive castle with great topography. There were at least 200 men stationed in this castle. All were at the peak of soldiers or warriors.

This castle was built of some very durable rocks that even if Azaroth shot out Hell Flame Bomb at this castle, it would probably survive.

"…I have been ordered by the King to show some results or else he would take away all my authority and wealth and distribute it to someone else. My representative even failed to get a good ranking in the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament," Black Hurricane spoke with a frustrated tone.

Azaroth wasn't surprised to hear these words. It was Noah who had destroyed the path of Black Hurricane's subordinate.

"Anyway, my true reason for this visit is to have you do something for me," Azaroth's tone became serious.

"…Eh? What do you want me to do, Sir Azaroth?" Black Hurricane asked with a devoted tone.

"Use your faction and attack the main branch of the Origin Sect. I leave the method of attack up to you. But your attack should be fierce enough that the Origin Sect feels as if it's about to be destroyed," Azaroth spoke.

Black Hurricane was startled as he spoke, "O-Origin Sect? But they are an ancient sect that has been standing for nearly 500 years old."

Azaroth already knew this information and asked him with a menacing look in his eyes, "Will you do it or not?"

"…I will try my best," The Black Hurricane promised while looking into Azaroth's eyes.

"Good. That's what I wanted to hear. I will await the good news then. Try your best, or I might pay you a visit again," Azaroth instantly turned cheerful as he began to fly.

The reason he arrived here was to tell Black Hurricane that he was within Azaroth's reach. Azaroth could come and deal with him whenever he wanted.

Meanwhile, the Black Hurricane immediately contacted his true body through his soul. He was explaining what had occurred to his true body.

Azaroth wanted Black Hurricane to attack the Origin Sect because he wanted to see both their hidden cards. Since the Black Hurricane was going to conceal his princely identity, his hands were tied.

Azaroth estimated that Black Hurricane would use his demon underlings to drive the Origin Sect to the edge.

Once the presence of demons is revealed, the Kingdom is going to suddenly become active.

The King would grab all authority until all the demons were found and purged.

However, that would also be a perfect opportunity for the king to fulfill his personal ambitions like destroying some arrogant sects that don't listen to him now and bringing the warriors and disciples under the direct Royal Family's control.

While the Royal Family dealt with the different sects, Azaroth planned to deal with the other smaller sects and increase his own influence.

War gives rise to new powers. Azaroth aimed to grow his faction until it was large enough that the king couldn't easily destroy it.

He was going to have Noah and Laura leave Veninza Town soon enough. Laura would deal with the bandits all over this kingdom and build a virtuous prestige for herself.

Meanwhile, Noah was going to charge towards the battlefields where he would deepen his killing intent and become even stronger. His subordinates were also going to grow underneath his lead.

'It's time to visit Tiana. She needs to take advantage of this opportunity to expand her sect. The King's gaze would be fixated upon the already large sects. Like her Sacred Ice Aurora Valley sect, the small sect could take advantage of this chaos and rise.' Azaroth thought seriously.

'Yrellea should have met up with the Dragon Tiger Palace by now. Has she convinced them or not, though? Once she does, we can slowly focus on the Dragon Tiger Palace and eat it from the inside.' Azaroth further thought.

'My path ahead is pretty good. There is no shortage of strong warriors or economic strength. I just have to be smart and quick about it.' Azaroth thought as he flew ahead.

In the meantime, without Azaroth's knowledge, the Night Mountain Sect and the Black Lake Sect had waged war upon each other.

The reasoning was rather simple. The Night Mountain Sect had captured three of the Black Lake Sect's great geniuses and planned to absorb their talent and distribute it to their own disciples.

This act angered the Black Lake Sect greatly. And the one leading the forces against the Night Mountain Sect was none other than Christina's mother.
