A Demon's Journey

Azaroth's current plan was to slow down this final battle as much as he could. He wanted to involve Dylan Ross in this final battle.

For that, he had to show that this was the first phase of the battle. He had some scope of making a big difference while entering this final battle.

For an outsider, the current situation of this battlefield seemed as though the Night Mountain Sect was on its last legs, and the Black Lake Sect was relentlessly attacking the Night Mountain Sect.

Dylan Ross was bound to go to the Night Mountain Sect in this situation. As someone who had the fate of a standard naïve protagonist, he was going to prefer defending someone to attacking someone even though he had no idea that the one he was defending committed more evil deeds than the one he was attacking.

If Dylan Ross tried to ignore this battle, Azaroth would forcefully involve him by making him fall to the ground. But fortunately for Azaroth, that situation didn't occur.

This was because Camille accompanied Dylan Ross. She spoke seriously, "That is the Night Mountain Hill. Let's change our route and go around this mountain. A battle between the Night Mountain Sect and the Black Lake Sect is going on here."

The Black Lake Sect had launched an attack at the Night Mountain Sect. And by the looks of those camps, it's still ongoing right now.

"I see," Dylan Ross responded in return as he focused on that mountain. He spoke after a few seconds, "Let's go and take a look."

He commanded the two Wind Pythons who flew over the mountain and allowed Dylan Ross to gaze at the entire scenery.

The Black Lake Sect's scouts sensed the presence of some beasts flying above them. The Wind Pythons could fly over the Night Mountain Hill without being affected by the Demon Emperor's aura because they possessed small wings. And they weren't using Ardor to fly in the air.

It was their innate ability to soar in the skies. The Demon Emperor's power would unconsciously filter out the beasts that possessed this innate ability.

Azaroth also sensed the presence of these two Wind Pythons. He gazed at them with some interest evident in his eyes. He raised his brows and whispered to himself, "These are two mutated beasts who have awakened the thin bloodline of the Aero Flood Dragons."

Azaroth didn't find it strange that Dylan Ross knew these two Wind Pythons. It would be strange if he didn't know some beasts with a strong or a mutated bloodline.

Dylan Ross frowned as he witnessed the Night Mountain Sect being attacked by the Black Lake Sect like this. The Night Mountain Sect appeared to be cornered by the Black Lake Sect.

They were surviving till now by utilizing this barrier. Dylan Ross thought that once the barrier was down, the Night Mountain Sect's disciples and other elders would be slaughtered by the Black Lake Sect.

It was only natural for him to think so because Camille informed him that the Black Lake Sect's leader was a 6 Star Warrior.

Just as Azaroth expected, Dylan Ross tried to enter the Night Mountain Sect from above. The Night Mountain Sect noticed someone trying to enter their barrier.

They were unsure whether they should allow these unknown individuals to enter their sect or not. There was a good chance these two were Black Lake Sect's agents.

"I am here to help you, so open up the barrier!" Dylan Ross spoke out and expected the Night Mountain Sect to follow his words.

Surprisingly, the barrier opened up from above and allowed Dylan Ross and Camille to enter the Sect.

The barrier opened up because of the order from the Sect Master. He was utterly confident about the Night Mountain Sect's strength.

Even if Dylan Ross was here with some suspicious motives, he was confident in his ability to handle them.

After entering the barrier, Dylan Ross and Camille met some elders. Camille was quite scared as she entered this barrier.

She knew that Dylan Ross was going to meet the Sect Master of the Night Mountain Sect. The issue was that the Sect Master of the Night Mountain Sect could recognize Camille.

Thus, to prevent the Sect Master from seeing her face, she was wearing a thin veil. Dylan Ross didn't find her actions very strange since he thought Camille didn't want to be leered by other men.

Her beauty would naturally make many men turn their heads in her direction. And most of them were bound to glance at her with evil intentions in their minds. In fact, Dylan Ross wasn't any better. However, he also believed that a talented man like him did deserve her.

After some time, the two met with a few elders. Camille remained quiet while Dylan Ross asked the elders about this conflict between the Night Mountain Sect and the Black Lake Sect.

The elders had realized that Dylan Ross genuinely had no idea regarding the source of this conflict. Thus, he could manipulate the facts at his own discretion and pit him against the Black Lake Sect.

They assigned a location to Dylan Ross and Camille to rest while they arranged a meeting with the Sect Master. The Sect Master was a little surprised that two individuals were coincidently passing this area and decided to help the Night Mountain Sect.

He was also surprised that his elders were saying that this couple genuinely had no idea about the source of this conflict. Just why were they so sure that this couple was speaking the truth?

"Don't trust them too much. At least not until he has spilled the blood of the Black Lake Sect. Also, make sure to not mention our secrets. He is an outsider," The Sect Master stated with a somber tone. The Angel accompanying Dylan Ross was resting at this moment. So, she couldn't tell him that these elders were lying to him.

The Angel wanted to conserve her Spiritual Energy. Thus, she limited her conversation and senses to urgent situations or some serious discussions.

Her mind unconsciously filtered out this situation as something casual. Dylan Ross was a bad judge of character. He would take most words at face value. He willingly believed the entire story narrated to be him by these elders. To him, this was the reality.

Camille walked around and talked to some disciples of the Night Mountain Sect. Even though she was wearing a veil, her beauty was hard to conceal. Just the faint glimpses would allow a man to understand that she was a great beauty.

They would try to answer all her questions in an attempt for her to have a great impression of them. With her intelligence and the information about this Night Mountain Sect she possessed, she realized that the Night Mountain Sect was stockpiling right now. They were going to explode soon enough.

And it would be the Black Lake Sect that would suffer.

However, these disciples held some doubts regarding their victory even after making so many preparations. This was due to the presence of a man named Azaroth.

He was the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's leader. And he had just completed an incredible deed that had stunned these two mighty sects. Azaroth had slaughtered hundreds of 4 Star and 5 Star Beasts!

His presence would make a great difference. He was the one who could still turn the tables on the Night Mountain Sect.. Thus, the disciples and even the elders of the Night Mountain Sect feared him quite a bit.
