A Demon's Journey

Patrick had fallen unconscious as he lost his battle against the Blood Mastiff. It was only natural for him to lose.

He had been living in Veninza City and had stopped his training. His body was stiff, and his reflexes were slow.

In the fight against the Blood Mastiff, there were some moments where he showed his potential, so Azaroth believed that it wouldn't take long for Patrick to win against this Blood Mastiff.

Currently, he was focused on the Origin Sect Branch's other two elders.

The two were on the ground, wriggling in pain. But the two refused to let out a sound. Although their talent wasn't good, their endurance seemed to be praiseworthy.

These two elders were in the process of fusing a Bloodline with Azaroth.

The Bloodline with which they were fusing was, in reality, the Spirit Demon's Bloodline. The same Spirit Demon Azaroth had interrogated earlier.

He had secretly taken their blood and stored it in his ring. Their bloodlines weren't that good for him, but it was a significant boost for people like these two elders.

Azaroth wasn't planning to convert them into demons. So, he had purged the demonic properties in the blood.

The power of the Spirit Demon Bloodline had gotten weaker, but it had become more compatible with a human.

If Azaroth injected the Spirit Demon Bloodline as it was, then these two elders would most likely die.

Currently, he had told them that this was a Spirit Master Bloodline possessing a Great Hero's abilities.

The Spirit Master Bloodline would boost them Spiritually and use it to attack their enemies. Although unlike the Spirit Demon's ability, their attacks wouldn't be strong enough to kill their opponent, they would still be strong enough to make him mentally unstable.

Most importantly, their potential capped at the 4 Star Rank would be greatly boosted. They could have some chance of breaking through to the 5 Star Rank.

The two elders were very grateful to Azaroth. They felt as if accepting the offer was the best decision of their life.

While the two were fusing with their bloodlines, Azaroth went towards Noah and Laura, "Test the disciples here and make them join your group. Recruit only those warriors whom you can control or those who will listen to you. If anyone refuses to follow orders, kill him and make an example out of him."

His words were spoken with a chilly tone. However, Noah and Laura weren't scared. They planned to do the same as well.

"Noah, you can test out the Intent Training Facility in this Origin Sect Branch. It might be useful to you." Azaroth informed him.

"Alright, boss!" Noah replied cheerfully.

Azaroth then turned towards Laura, "You need to go and check out the herbal garden of this sect. I will give you a bunch of seeds, plant them and use your abilities to make them grow quickly."

Laura's eyes brightened up at this job.

"I doubt that this place has the herb you want, but you can try your luck here," Azaroth added.

She really did want to check out the Herbal Garden to search for the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng.

Azaroth's two retainers went in the same direction. Their first task was to check out the inner sect disciples. Whether they were worth recruiting or not.

Recruitment would be easier for Noah than for Laura since finding a skilled Archer was much more difficult than finding a skilled close-combat warrior.

It was simply the difference between ratios. There were a lot more close-combat warriors than rangers in Origin Sect.

The Origin Sect didn't possess very good techniques for an Archer; thus, few archers would join this sect.

Some were forced to change their fighting style from an Archer to a close-combat warrior.

On that very same day, Noah challenged all the Inner Sect Disciples who thought of themselves as 'geniuses.'

This was his method of destroying their arrogance or pride.

He was merely a 3 Star Warrior, the same as all the Inner Sect Disciples. There were nearly 50 Inner Sect Disciples.

The inner sect disciples thought that Noah was courting death by challenging all of them together.

However, only when their weapons collided did they understand just how wide the difference between them was.

Noah possessed Sword Intent and could boost his power to as great as a 4 Star Warrior.

Laura stared from the sidelines as she observed the fighting style of these Inner Sect Disciples.

During their battle against Noah, only 5 individuals had caught her eye.

These five individuals had tried to keep their distance from Noah and attacked him from a distance.

Moreover, their aim wasn't bad. These individuals weren't launching Arrows at Noah. Instead, they were attacking him with long-range Ardor attacks.

Such as the Crushing Slash. Leaf Impact, Soul Wave, Fading Spiral Surge, and so on attacks.

Laura had decided to recruit these warriors into her group. They possessed good potential.

Meanwhile, Noah had already shortlisted the warriors he would recruit into his group. The warriors he had chosen were able to withstand a single blow from him.

Azaroth had observed this entire event from the sky. He was slightly disappointed that there were only 7 warriors with Bloodline Abilities while the rest were duds.

Azaroth had to spend a couple of minutes in deep thought before he had an idea.

"Yes, that can work." He whispered with a grin and immediately dashed off towards Veninza City.

Within Veninza City, Azaroth was actually flying towards the Demon's Nest! What better way to train his warriors than to make them fight against Demons continuously?!

Soon enough, Azaroth flew into the Demon's Nest. He wasn't scared as he flew into the Demon's Nest.

To some extent, it could be said that Azaroth was more comfortable in this place than the human world.

He continued to fly in this hollow tunnel for some time until he saw the end. The other side of this hollow tunnel was a completely open space.

Azaroth's eyes automatically turned purple as he looked around. He saw many demons in this open space. If Azaroth began to count, he would find more than tens of thousands of Demons in this demon nest.

Even if the majority of them were weak, the sheer quantity of them would be enough to make many warriors shudder with terror.

The demons had also noticed the stranger.

Out of these 10,000 demons, only 7 were Demon Lords. They were tasked with managing this location.

"Obey me or die," Azaroth ordered with a cold and commanding tone. He was currently speaking in Demon Language.

His Demon God's Prestige immediately affected these demons and prevented them from moving.

To these demons, it truly felt as though their God had arrived.

As Azaroth was looking around, he noticed a demon actually standing up while resisting the Bloodline Pressure. It was one of the seven Demon Lords in this location.

This demon's actual form stood on two legs. It had large golden wings, and its physique was similar to that of an Eagle. The skin and eyes, that is.

Azaroth slightly smiled as he saw this demon, "The Golden Roc's descendant? Interesting."
