A Demon's Journey

Chapter 412 - Deep Thoughts And Guesses

Around this moment, Azaroth was seated on a large rock, and there was a solemn expression on his face as he was seemingly lost in deep thought.

Ever since he had received Sargan's report, he had been sitting here and thinking deeply about something. The solemn and grave expression on his face indicated that this matter was extremely serious.

In reality, Azaroth felt like he had involved himself in another battle against fate. He realized this after Sargan informed him that Dylan Ross and Camille were going to the Olisville Town.

This battlefield could be considered in the middle of the path to the Olisville Town from the Yabert Town. This meant that Dylan Ross was bound to pass by this spot or somewhere nearby.

Azaroth guessed that the presence of the Demon Emperor was linked to Dylan Ross to some extent. This was not some blind guess that he was making. He had proofs to prove his theory.

The first proof was the High-Ranking Angel, who accompanied Dylan Ross. It was very probable that she had been wounded and lost her body during her confrontation with the Demonic Emperor! Otherwise, it didn't make sense for this High-Ranking Angel to be separated from her comrades and be trapped in a cave for so long.

Moreover, the timing of the Demon Emperor to release his Demonic Ardor and try to possess the disciples of the Black Lake Sect was awfully convenient.

Azaroth then began to think about what would have occurred without his intervention. According to him, the scenario would go like this: -

Dylan Ross would encounter Camille, who was playing the damsel in distress, to seek his attention. After forming an initial contact with Dylan and making him smitten with her beauty, she would reveal the information regarding the Lamhilhan Theocracy when she believed the timing was perfect.

Sargan had killed the guard captain, which must have made the situation more chaotic, preventing Camille from using her original strategy to mention that information regarding Lamhilhan Theocracy to Dylan Ross.

However, after Sargan kidnapped her and Dylan saved her, she found an opportunity to inform Dylan about this news. Fate's plan was back on track.

During this time, the Demon Emperor had begun to release his Demonic Ardor and possess the minds of various disciples.

The Demon Emperor was probably going to play it safe and mix with the Black Lake Sect. Naturally, he would set high targets through whom he could easily recover.

Erica, Christina, and all the women of the Black Lake Sect would be his target. In fact, if the Demon Emperor was greedy and intelligent enough, he would even include the Night Mountain Sect in his plans. Using the bodies of these disciples he possessed, he would lead the Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect's entire force in his trap, where he would kill all the male warriors and absorb the vitality of the females.

Naturally, his method of absorbing the vitality would be to rape all these females. This method was simpler and much faster rather than absorbing their Yin Energy from a distance.

Since the Demon Emperor possessed the second part of the Yin Devouring Demonic Technique, he was sure that the absorption would be quick and allow him to recover his energy at the top speed.

Rather coincidently, Dylan Ross and Camille would pass this location. Either Dylan or the Angel with him would sense something strange from this battlefield.

No matter the reason, they were bound to come and check out the situation. The Demon Emperor was naturally not going to spare another woman who was coming to empower him. He would also target Camille and prepare a special trap for her.

Dylan Ross and Camille were going to meet the Demon Emperor and battle him. The Demon Emperor would probably win and successfully capture Camille while Dylan would run away, or the Angel would take him away.

Dylan Ross would most likely come into contact with those resources Azaroth found much earlier. The Brilliant Spirit Nourishing Jade and the Abyss Blood Flower.

Azaroth didn't know how Dylan Ross would utilize these two things. Still, it could be through his cultivation technique, or he possessed a special weapon that could evolve using this Brilliant Spirit Nourishing Jade. Or Dylan Ross would strengthen his own spirit using the energy within the Brilliant Spirit Nourishing Jade. Or he would use the Abyss Blood Flower on himself and leave the Brilliant Spirit Nourishing Jade for the Angel and allow her to stockpile her strength.

There were just too many possibilities of how it would play out.

Azaroth was sure that Dylan Ross would then head out, filled with strong energy and great resolve to save Camille and all the other entrapped by this Demon Emperor.

By hook or crook, he would eventually save everyone! All the survivors were bound to be extremely grateful to him.

Azaroth even felt that the feelings between Dylan Ross and Camille would deepen at that point. There was a chance that Christina would begin to pursue him as well.

As the savior of both groups, Dylan Ross would put an end to the strife between them by compelling them to make certain concessions. The two factions would have to let go of their hatred by making those agreements. This peace between the two sects wouldn't be permanent, but the Glerian Kingdom didn't care about this fact.

All they would hear was that a young youth appeared and slaughtered a terrifying demon emperor and resolved the conflict between two great sects.

This would cement Dylan Ross's prestige to an extremely high level.

When Azaroth finished thinking about this entire scenario and how it was most likely to plan out without his interference, he had a bitter smile on his face.

'My actions here are most probably free of fate's control. This must be the King's Fate Energy acting up. It's using me to battle against Dylan Ross's fate. If things went Dylan's way, then the King would lose Camille, and most probably, his plan to control the Lamhilhan Theocracy would be compromised by Camille. My presence here prevented the feelings from deepening between Dylan and Camille.'

 

Azaroth was unhappy because he realized that he had been affected by this fate energy. Not Dylan's fate but by the King's fate.

He did not like being controlled, whether it was by an individual or by someone's fate. This was his primary motive to pursue strength with such great fervor.

For a few seconds, he felt as though all that effort had been turned useless. He had even reincarnated into a new body, created a completely new energy that should have been the strongest and give him the greatest chance to break through the final barrier between the Demon God and the Demon Venerable and go even beyond a Demon Venerable.

Azaroth mumbled with a weak voice, "I can't give up at this point. Even if there is no existing path, so what? I will continue to live in my pursuit of this non-existent path. That was what I decided back then."

A strong determination and resolve could be seen within his ruby-colored eyes. He whispered, "I won't lose heart and stop just because of an immovable wall or an invincible enemy before me! As long as I have a chance to persist, I will continue to make an effort!"

He spoke with an evil smile while gazing at the horizon, "Also, it's still too soon to think that the King's Fate is controlling me.. We haven't reached the climax yet."
