A Demon's Journey

Among Azaroth's retainers, William was the only one who headed north of the Sinyalian Kingdom's territory. His target was the Alinginian Kingdom.

William's wives accompanied him on this journey. The Alinginian Kingdom was one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the entire world.

Although there was no Emperor Ranked Expert in this kingdom, it had plenty of King-Ranked Expert.

The number of King-Ranked Experts in the Alinginian Kingdom even surpassed the Sinyalian Kingdom. This was very shocking since the Sinyalian Kingdom still possessed more than thirty King-Ranked Warriors in their kingdom.

Many of them reached this rank by gaining insight from the Elemental Spark. But it was nonetheless the King Rank.

The Alinginian Kingdom held so many King Ranked experts solely because they possessed rich resources and herbs that were useful for the breakthrough to the King Rank. After utilizing these resources and herbs, the Alinginian Kingdom exported those resources to other kingdoms and earned a massive profit.

This kingdom was also connected to the ocean and had found many natural resources in the sea. There were also some marine races that conducted trade with the Alinginian Kingdom.

At this moment, William and his wives were traveling around this kingdom. Unlike other kingdoms, this kingdom was completely open to outsiders.

The only requirement to enter the Alinginian Kingdom was to possess vast wealth.

William was the son-in-law of three tribes in the Eastern Mountain Range of the Glerian Kingdom. He didn't lack money or resources.

After entering the Alinginian Kingdom, William wanted to look for the warriors that Azaroth had mentioned. The warriors connected to an incredible number of Golden Streams.

However, finding such warriors was easier said than done. They could be anywhere!

Also, William couldn't keep his Abyss Eyes active at all times. His eyes would start bleeding if he activated them for more than an hour within a day.

But other than that, it was alright.

After researching a bit, William found out that there was a Colosseum. And a tournament was going to take place soon. He felt that a warrior connected to the Golden Streams of Providence might participate in it.

Besides, William wanted to test his combat level. He hadn't really fought someone ever since he received Azaroth's training. At this moment, William's hands were trembling with excitement at the thought of fighting someone powerful.

And William wasn't disappointed.

During the semi-final round, William was matched up with an extremely strange warrior. William couldn't sense the power of this warrior.

William planned to go easy on him initially, but after enduring the opponent's blow, he decided otherwise.

William activated his Abyss Eyes and was startled to see so many Golden Streams of Providence connected to this man.

Understanding that this guy was his target, William decided to use his entire power to defeat this fellow. It would be disappointing if he couldn't defeat this fellow even after receiving Azaroth's training and the Abyss Eyes.

However, William soon understood that his opponent had a rather strange skillset. Firstly, his movement technique. It boosted his speed while concealing his presence.

William couldn't detect his opponent's presence till the last second. And most of the time, it was due to his sharp intuition rather than through his senses.

Secondly, William's adversary possessed exceptional stamina. Additionally, his methods were relatively uncommon. William had the impression that the opponent attacked him using his own Ardor.

This prolonged their battle by quite a bit. Well, until William decided to get serious, that is. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

The techniques he possessed included a technique known as the Golden Dragon's Claw.

After getting struck by this attack, William's opponent didn't get up. He vomited a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.

The next time he woke up, William's opponent was in the infirmary, recovering from his serious injuries.

William and his wives came to visit his opponent. It was only natural since even the opponent that William encountered in the final didn't make him sweat as much as this warrior. Moreover, this warrior was blessed by a rich providence. It would be best to befriend him.

The warrior was very surprised that William actually came to visit him. It seemed that he was genuinely worried about him. It touched him greatly as he started narrating his life story to William.

In reality, he belonged to the branch family of the Kantor Clan. This was one of the wealthiest and most powerful clans in the Alinginian Kingdom.

The Kantor Clan was very close to the Royal Family. They were assigned the rank of Marquis.

Barak Kantor was the only descendent of the branch head of the Kantor Clan. He was one of that branch's most talented warriors, and everyone respected him greatly. However, this changed when Barak offended the descendent of the main branch of the Kantor Clan.

The main branch of the Kantor Clan immediately imprisoned Barak's parents and appointed a new head of the branch.

The new head of the Kantor Clan's branch hunted Barak and planned to make him suffer just to please the main branch. However, Barak escaped before they could put their plan into motion.

A loyal servant held them long enough so that Barak could escape.

While he was walking, Barak came across a rare inheritance that could allow him to regain all that he lost.

He was participating in the tournament to gain some cultivation resources to achieve his ambition and to let his name resound in the world.

William didn't find this story that fascinating. He felt that this guy was really stupid. Firstly, why would he offend someone with a higher identity than his own? Did he not know any method of dealing with the person a bit more intelligently?

Moreover, letting his name resound in the world? William couldn't help but shake his head disapprovingly. If this guy had managed to win the tournament, he would reveal his identity. But wouldn't that just let the Kantor Clan become aware of his presence?

They might even target him once they realize that he is the same Barak Kantor from the branch clan!

However, this entire story allowed William to understand how he could gain this individual's companionship. William wanted to make Barak owe him a favor.

The best way to accomplish that would be to assist Barak in destroying the Kantor Clan. However, a bit more intelligently, rather than this reckless method.

Without even Barak mentioning it, William knew of his plan. He knew that Barak planned to attack the Kantor Clan once his cultivation reached the 6 Star Rank.

This was a stupid plan in William's eyes. As attacking a clan that had more than five King Ranked Warriors alone was foolish and impulsive.

William spoke to him, "…Let me help you in your ambition."

"Huh?" Barak was certainly caught off guard. Actually, William's wives were also caught off guard that their husband would help Barak achieve his ambition, but they remained silent.

"…You don't need to do anything. Just recover. I will gather information about the Kantor Clan and return. We will plan on how to destroy the Kantor Clan in detail," William spoke before leaving the infirmary.

His wives followed him quickly, leaving behind a shocked Barak.
