A Demon's Journey

The Night Mountain Sect monitored the battle between Azaroth and the beasts from their stronghold. They used an Artifact that allowed them to gaze at a great distance.

Even with this artifact, they didn't exactly know how the battle between Azaroth and the beasts went on. This was due to the presence of that blizzard around them.

It blocked their sight and prevented them from figuring out what happened during the battle. When the Blizzard dispersed, they saw frozen bodies of the beasts at that spot.

The entire Night Mountain Sect was flabbergasted when they heard this information. A single 5 Star Warrior went up against all the strong Beast Races residing on this mountain and won?!

This was too shocking to be true! But the facts were up on the table. They had to believe it no matter how appalling it may seem.

Azaroth knew that the Night Mountain Sect was watching his battle. That was the reason he created that blizzard. To hide his abilities from the Night Mountain Sect.

These individuals were now going to make some theories of how he had achieved this feat. They would either undermine his abilities or bolster his abilities in their theories.

A few hours later, King Tryfon received the news about this battle between Azaroth and the beasts.

King Tryfon was shocked for a few seconds before he regained his calmness. He guessed that this man had a trump card that targeted an entire area.

However, he did plan to keep an eye on Azaroth from now on.

He ordered his spies to find more information regarding this man named Azaroth. His abilities included exceptional Ice Control and flying ability even in the Night Mountain's region.

This information was so shocking that the King's pupils remained widened for nearly three whole minutes.

He had naturally visited that mountain. The suppression over one's body was so great that flying was impossible.

Yet the King heard of a 5 Star Warrior flying in that territory. It was bound to shock him.

The King's spies in the Black Lake Sect soon contacted him and informed him, "This man's name is Azaroth. His past is unknown. At least, we have no records of him until now. We believe it's because he was in seclusion until now. And he never made a big move in the Glerian Kingdom until now."

"This man is the leader of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. This is a relatively new sect that participated in the Eclipse Battleground's Tournament."

The King nodded his head as he had indeed heard of this Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. He had heard that his sixth son would have lost against a member of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

If his sixth son indeed lost against a member of this sect, it would have generated history.

However, it was outside of his expectations that the leader of this sect was such a strong individual.

He felt that this individual's abilities weren't any weaker than the abilities belonging to the Royal Family. It would be wise to approach him.

The King then dismissed this spy and contacted Camille. He asked her, "What happened to your weekly report? Why did you not contact me yesterday like you were supposed to?"

Camille responded with a respectful tone from the other side, "…I beg His Majesty to forgive me. But I could not contact you yesterday. I was in no state to contact you, Your Majesty."

Before the King could ask her, Camille added, "Someone had abducted me and continued to question me regarding my true identity and purpose of coming here."

The King's eyes widened at that statement, "What was your response?"

"I endured the torture for some time before informing him that I had come here to meet Dylan Ross. I heard a lot about him and wished to meet him."

"This excuse convinced your kidnapper?" The King sneered and asked this question.

"No. But I was only stalling. Actually, Dylan Ross had placed a mark over my body. He can sense my presence no matter how far away he is. I was stalling for Dylan to come and save me from this kidnapper," Camille spoke.

"What happened? Was that kidnapper captured? What is his identity?" The King released three questions immediately.

"No. He seemed to have realized that Dylan Ross was coming and timely escaped," Camille responded with a confused tone. Even she didn't understand how this man could have known that Dylan Ross was coming.

Camille had personally experienced that if Dylan didn't want you to, sensing him was next to impossible.

It was as if he possessed a treasure that would conceal his presence from the world itself. Her guess wasn't far off the truth.

Dylan did have a treasure in the form of an Angel who could assist him in concealing his presence.

He wasn't yet proficient enough to disguise his existence only via his own efforts to such a high degree.

"Is that so? And what of the task assigned to you? Did the target bite the bait?" The King asked with a monotonous tone.

Camille spoke, "I used this opportunity to concoct a whole string of lies and informed him of the task. From what I could see, he is very much interested in going to the Lamhilhan Theocracy."

She then added, "He is going to meet his family and some friends before leaving for the Lamhilhan Theocracy."

"Good. I will begin the preparations for you to travel to the Lamhilhan Theocracy. The path I have selected is relatively safe," The King spoke with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Camille spoke with a courteous tone.

The connection between the two was cut-off. The King ordered his subordinates to relax the borders between the Glerian Kingdom and the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

The borders between the Glerian Kingdom and Lamhilhan Theocracy had relaxed, which meant that the Glerian Kingdom soldiers would no longer halt any individuals trying to leave for the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Naturally, they won't stop any individuals entering the Glerian Kingdom from the Lamhilhan Theocracy either. However, the informers around the borders would be active to keep an eye on these individuals entering from the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Now, entering the Lamhilhan Theocracy from the Glerian Kingdom meant the individual had to connect to the holy church. Or he should have great wealth.

Either would convince the soldiers of the Lamhilhan Theocracy to let them enter their territory.

The King knew he was taking a risk by letting some suspicious individuals from the Lamhilhan Theocracy arrive in the Glerian Kingdom. But it was a risk he was willing to take because of the potential benefits.

If this plan was successful, he would have planted an individual in a commanding position of the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

The King was completely unaware that he had another competitor right now. Ever since Azaroth heard of this information, he planned to get involved in it.

He had considered various scenarios until now. Whether it was sending one of his retainers, controlling Dylan Ross, blackmailing him, or creating a clone to enter the Lamhilhan Theocracy personally.

Among these options, the one he found the best was entering the Lamhilhan Theocracy personally.

He could make Dylan Ross into his whetstone to create a controversy with him and increase his prestige quickly. The controversy was the best method of boosting one's image.

And now, he had finally decided what option he should choose.
