A Demon's Journey

Two warriors had infused their arms with an intense amount of Ardor. The color of their Ardor was completely different.

One of them had his arm enveloped with reddish Ardor, while the other guard's arm was enveloped with a colorless Ardor.

"Blaze Fist Barrage!"

"Origin Punch!"

The other three warriors seemingly waited a bit and allowed these two warriors to charge ahead and strike Edwin.

The two warriors approached Edwin from opposite sides so that Edwin couldn't escape.

One launched a barrage of quick consecutive punches embedded with orange-colored flame Ardor.

These flames' punches were hot and explosive. They possessed a strong shockwave as they struck Edwin's body. The momentum of that fist barrage increased as the warrior continued to throw out punches at Edwin.

Origin Punch was a completely different attack, though. This attack possessed pure Ardor that was released in a single punch.

As soon as this punch struck Edwin, it released a strong impact nearly tens of times stronger than the Blaze Fist Barrage. It was released in one go…

This could be considered a very simple but difficult-to-execute attack.

Even Edwin's body that had been bolstered with pure Ardor experienced some pain. But Edwin could easily endure that bit of pain.

These individuals were all using their special abilities to even damage Edwin. Needless to say, they didn't interest Edwin much.

"Wind Sphere!" Edwin whispered as he created a Wind Barrier around his body.

The impact of the Wind Barrier was so strong that these two warriors were immediately thrown back. The Blazing Fist Barrage tried to pierce that Wind Barrier, but the winds revolving around Edwin were so strong that the flames were extinguished before they could reach Edwin.

Meanwhile, the other three warriors noticed the Wind Barrier forming around Edwin. They had been gathering their Ardor while observing Edwin.

Their techniques were soon ready.

"Lightning Pierce!

For some brief seconds, the weapon clashed against the Wind Barrier around Edwin's body.

The final remaining two warriors launched their combination attack.

"Wind Flame Combo: Great Flamethrower!"

A very intense beam of flames was launched at Edwin and that Wind Barrier. Soon, another warrior supported that intense beam of flames with a gentle wide-angled Wind Breeze.

The Flames suddenly spread around that entire area where the wind was flowing. Soon enough, Edwin and his Wind Sphere were completely covered by the flames.

The flames engulfed that Wind Sphere so greatly that Edwin's body was no longer visible.

Within the Wind Sphere, Edwin felt some heat reach his body. He wasn't much affected by the heat, though.

He had tolerated the heat of the Hell Flames when he had to subdue it. So, this was nothing…

Edwin focused on Andre, who remained standing on the ground while holding a badge-like object in his hands. Andre held that badge close to his chest and was looking up at Edwin.

Now, Edwin suddenly noticed something.

Edwin frowned slightly as he immediately charged towards Andre.

The Mud Barrier around Andre immediately solidified as it guarded him against Edwin. Edwin knew there were two barriers. The first was a solid earth barrier, while the other was a swampy barrier that would absorb the impact of Edwin's attack.

Edwin created a small wind ball ahead of his palm. The task of this wind ball was very simple. To crush the solid earth barrier and then swipe away the swampy barrier.

This wind ball worked wonderfully as it swiped away the mud barrier. In reality, as long as someone understood the working of this barrier, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with it through any element.

Andre noticed Edwin coming for him, but he remained calm.

The badge in his hands shone with a green light. Edwin frowned as he sensed a suppressive aura over his body.

It was an aura that made him tremble with excitement.

However, he was still a step late as he saw a Golden Lion of pure energy charging at him.

It raised its paw and struck Edwin. That attack immediately threw Edwin far away and made him crash into multiple herbs.

"Majestic Golden Lion's Avatar?" Edwin wiped a trail of blood running down his mouth while staring at that Golden Lion.

"Aero Dragon."

Edwin whispered as a Wind Dragon immediately coiled around his body. He had used a lot of his Ardor to create this Aero Dragon.

The Golden Lion ahead of him was conjured by the Gold Ardor. If Edwin didn't use his complete strength, he would lose.

He also noticed a void portal opening up next to Andre.

Andre was panting heavily as foreign energy had just left his body. He looked in Edwin's direction with a smile and explained, "My eldest brother predicted that you would target me next. So, he asked one of his loyal subordinates to give me a life-saving relic."

"…This relic allows me to temporarily utilize my eldest brother's Ardor. Release an attack he stored in this relic and also summon him from anywhere in the Sinyalian Kingdom," Andre finished speaking with a wide smile.

Edwin's eyes widened slightly as he heard those words. He knew someone was arriving through that void portal but to think it would be the Crown Prince David.

Edwin didn't plan to reveal his presence to Crown Prince David so soon. But there was no choice as he saw someone step out of that void portal.

The man who stepped out of the void portal was wearing majestic clothing. Just his appearance gave great pressure to all the individuals who laid their eyes on him.

Edwin's eyes widened as he carefully observed this man.

This was Crown Prince David Valliadis. He was wearing white clothing with an exquisite design of a lion holding a sword in its paw.

His Blue Hair was swaying due to the wind, and his golden eyes stared at Edwin gently. The man had very fair skin. It was very similar to Edwin in some aspects. His features were also especially attractive, and David could be considered very handsome.

If not for Edwin's Absolute Beauty Skill, David would be on the same level as Edwin.

"…You called out for me, Andre?" The man soon looked in Andre's direction.

Andre Valliadis nodded his head and responded quickly, "Yes, Big Brother David. This is the warrior who killed big brother Bernado. Now, he came here to kill me too…."

David looked at Edwin and then saw his Aero Dragon. With a signal, David ordered his Majestic Golden Lion to launch itself at Edwin.

Meanwhile, Edwin launched his Aero Dragon at that Lion. The two clashed, resulting in a very strong shockwave.

Only Edwin and David remained unaffected as they continued to observe each other.

Both could sense a very oppressive aura about the other. It was especially true for David.

He had been on the battlefield for so long, and the killing intent he had accumulated wasn't little. For that reason, he could faintly gauge Edwin's killing intent, and it shook his heart slightly.

He felt that Edwin had killed nearly thousands of times, if not millions of times more people than him.

This would be an absolutely shocking number since David had accumulated his killing intent by killing hundreds of thousands of individuals!
