A Demon's Journey

Azaroth had already arrived on the battlefield. He was a bit startled to see an unknown human slashing and defeating the Archangels, but when he gazed at Bryon and noticed those Golden Streams within his body, he didn't find it so strange.

It was only natural for Bryon to receive assistance from such an expert. In fact, Azaroth was more surprised that this helper wasn't a Saint Rank Warrior!

But still, after this Saber Emperor's appearance, he noticed that the Golden Streams within Bryon's body faded a bit.

Azaroth thought he was seeing things, but he was sure that those Golden Streams were less than 20% of their original number.

'Fortunately, the law of conservation of mass remains alright. The fate energy used those Golden Streams to slightly manipulate the mind of this Saber Emperor and summoned him here.'

Azaroth looked around and checked his surroundings rather carefully and cautiously. He didn't want to be unaware of any more experts hiding in the area.

After some time, he noticed something peculiar. There were experts stationed in a fort nearly a couple of miles away from his location. The aura felt rather familiar to Azaroth. He soon concluded that this aura belonged to Tronte.

When Azaroth first met Tronte, he was merely a 2 Star Warrior. Yet, Tronte had already reached the 6 Star Rank in this short period.

'How could he have reached the 6 Star Rank so quickly?! I can sense no special cultivation or talent that could greatly boost his cultivation. Did he encounter a divine fruit? But even if that's the case, it should have left traces of its presence within his blood or Ardor.'

Azaroth noticed something even more peculiar. There was not a single Golden Stream passing through Tronte!

This indicated that Tronte was not a human. But how was that possible?! Even demi-humans would possess those Golden Streams. Tronte could not be deemed human as he lacked those Golden Streams.

Just what was his true identity?!

Azaroth had been watching Tronte for some time and was taken aback when Tronte abruptly raised his head and peered in his way. Moreover, Tronte even smiled as if he had found what he was looking for.

He ordered all his comrades, "Men, we have our target! He is in the east direction. Let's go!"

In the meantime, Azaroth wondered just how Tronte managed to sense his gaze. Azaroth's Mystic Eyes of Perception was an ocular technique at the Demon God Rank. Tronte had to possess the Spiritual Perception of someone with a Demon God Rank to sense his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

Azaroth soon stopped thinking about how Tronte managed to sense his gaze and instead prepared to battle them. He wasn't scared of Tronte and his little group. This group only had 6 Star Warriors.

Azaroth's ability was great enough that he could defeat these 6 Star Warriors easily. However, he also didn't plan to look down on Tronte. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

Since Tronte could sense his gaze, it proved he had a sufficiently strong Spiritual Perception. Maybe he had a relation to a God-Ranked Expert.

Hell Flames gathered in Azaroth's right hand while Black Lightning gathered in Azaroth's left hand.

After Tronte and his group were close enough, Azaroth unleashed those Hell Flames and Black Lightning in a thick, dense stream!

"Lightning Flame Dragon Jaw!"

The purple-black stream quickly altered its shape into a dragon's head shape with its jaws open with a ferocious look and a menacing aura!

According to Azaroth's calculations, this Lightning Flame Dragon Jaw held enough power to slaughter all these warriors charging toward him. But he attacked this group against Tronte's group for another reason. He was rather oblivious of Tronte's true abilities and wished to use this attack to figure that out.

A massive explosion occurred as the Lightning Flame Dragon Jaw struck Tronte's group. Azaroth's face became grim as he witnessed that sight.

He instantly activated his Heavenly Demon Body Transformation Art, and his body started changing. Horns grew out of his skull, and small bat wings appeared on his back. His height grew significantly as his body became much thicker.

This was his Heavenly Demonic Transformation Technique. It was similar to the Divine Holy Demonic Physique but a lower ranked than that physique.

In the Heavenly Demonic Physique, Azaroth could only utilize Demonic Ardor. He activated this technique because he noticed something peculiar when his attack struck Tronte's group!

Tronte had raised a Golden Barrier to shield his group from the Lightning Flame Dragon Jaw! Moreover, this Golden Barrier was filled with Holy Ardor.

Azaroth now understood that Tronte was a Celestial! This guy had concealed himself too deeply!

But that wasn't all. Azaroth quickly connected the dots and guessed that Tronte's identity as a Celestial wasn't normal!

He was most likely the clone of a Celestial God! That was the only way to explain his insights into the Radiant Law! It was much deeper and more profound as compared to Esther and her comrades!

Moreover, Azaroth felt as though his aura seemed rather familiar to that will of the Radiant God he sensed in the Divine Faith Pool.

'I see…The Celestial Gods cannot step onto the Frascoia Continents, but their clones are allowed. Whatever agreement the humans had with the Demons and the Celestials seems to be riddled with holes. Or maybe it's because they can't differentiate a God's Clone from another human unless they reveal their identity.'

Whatever the case, the situation had become a bit troublesome for Azaroth!

However, Azaroth didn't flee. Since Tronte could detect him from so far away, his Spiritual Perception was stronger than Azaroth's. At least for now. He must also possess some rare treasure that boosted his sensing range.

Thus, Azaroth couldn't escape from Tronte's grasp!

Even so, Azaroth remained calm as a rock. The situation was still largely under his control. Judging by Tronte's insight into the Radiant Law, Azaroth could guess his combat level.

This Heavenly Demonic Physique should be enough to defeat him!

Azaroth charged toward Tronte with a quick burst of speed without any further ado! He was so quick that Tronte almost didn't see him.

Azaroth's fist landed on Tronte's comrade on his right side. He wanted to cull their numbers before engaging Tronte in one-on-one combat.

He knew that with the presence of his allies, Tronte wouldn't dare to unleash a great attack. His guess turned out to be correct.

Tronte hesitated to use his Radiant Surge attack as he saw his comrades swarm Azaroth. The cold smile on Azaroth's face told Tronte that this was exactly what he wanted.

Tronte immediately shouted out to his comrades, "Get back! I will fight him alone!"

He had brought his comrades so that he could swarm Azaroth with numbers. But now that he personally witnessed Azaroth's agility and strength, he knew that those numbers would inhibit him rather than trouble Azaroth!

Thus, it was better for them to back off temporarily. They weren't going to go too far away, though. Tronte wanted them to keep their eyes on the battlefield and attack Azaroth as soon as they saw an opportunity.

In the meantime, Tronte leaped at Azaroth and attempted to hold his large body down while amplifying his own body with Radiant Laws.

Azaroth countered Tronte and punched his chest multiple times. He knew Tronte would choose such an option, and it was the perfect chance to gravely injure him.

In the meantime, Tronte's group quickly backed away from that battleground. They kept their senses alert while gazing at them as they wished to be of assistance to Tronte!
