A Demon's Journey

The Electric Field around Edwin's body was very faint. It was so faint that a warrior might even miss it.

The Echo Bullets launched by the warrior possessing Sound Element noticed his Echo Bullets dispersing before touching Edwin.

It was a strange phenomenon, and this was the first time he witnessed it. Thus, for a couple of seconds, he couldn't react at all.

"What is going on? Why aren't your attacks reaching him anymore?" Another guard commented while staring in Edwin's direction in shock.

Meanwhile, Bernado was utterly terrified for his life as he witnessed this situation. He ordered one of his warriors, "Take this woman as a hostage."

He thought that by taking Bianca as his hostage would the situation be in his control.

"As you command, your highness."

One of Bernado's four guards immediately moved forwards to capture Bianca. Bianca remained seated on her spot with a calm expression.

When Miku (Bianca's maid) heard Bernado's order action, she became extremely angry as she moved towards him.

Just as she took 3 steps towards Bianca to shield her from their enemies, a couple of Echo Bullets struck her back.

It was that sound warrior who made his move against her. Since he couldn't hit Edwin, he decided to hit this woman who was moving towards Bernado.

Meanwhile, the other two warriors launched Water and Lightning Attacks at Edwin.

"Hyrdo Spray!"

"Zap Blaster!"

One warrior launched a massive flow of water towards Edwin. This attack's motive wasn't to harm him but to dampen the surroundings.

The other warrior had launched Zap Blaster, which meant that he had launched an intense lightning beam towards Edwin.

No one could dodge this combo! This was because the Lightning of the Zap Blaster had already flown through the moisture in the air and paralyzed the opponent.

Once the opponent was paralyzed, how could he dodge the Zap Blaster?

Edwin sensed how greatly Hydro Spary had amplified the Zap Blaster, but it didn't frighten him.

This combo was indeed impressive. However, against Edwin, it couldn't work. After all, this level of Lightning couldn't paralyze him.

And since this lightning couldn't paralyze him, he could get out of the way and dodge that Zap Blaster.

However, Edwin didn't feel like dodging this Zap Blaster.

Instead, he raised his arm and released pure blue lightning while whispering, "Zap Blaster!"

It was the same attack that his opponent had used. However, Edwin had been much faster while using this attack. Moreover, the Lightning Beam launched by Edwin was even smoother and faster than the one launched by his opponents.

The two Zap Blaster clashed against each other. This clash continued for a second before Edwin's Zap Blaster won and pierced his opponent's attack.

This attack was so quick that it had pierced Edwin's opponent before he could jump out of the way.

One of the four warriors under Bernado in this mansion had lost his life already.

However, during this time, a guard had closed the gap between him and Bianca. He had been ordered by Bernado to take Bianca as their hostage.

Just as this guard was about to touch her, Bianca turned in his direction and created a Water Drill in her hands.

The Water Drill was rotating at a rapid rate as she attacked the Bernado's guard.

The guard used Earth Ardor to immediately reinforce his body. This merely bought him a couple of seconds before a hole was created in his chest by that Water Drill.

This was the second guard in this mansion that died.

There remained a calm expression on her face as she killed this man. This wasn't just because she was hypnotized and ordered by Edwin but also because she truly wouldn't bat an eye after killing someone.

As a descendent of the Lewis Marquis Family, she had witnessed far too much killing to be affected by it.

It was only after becoming a mother did she decide to live a new life entirely. However, her experiences in Lewis Marquis Family couldn't be so easily forgotten by a few years of peace. It had become part of her by now.

Bernado was extremely terrified. In all directions, he saw his men losing their lives.

Bianca then turned towards her maid Miku and spoke, "Let go of your restraints and use your bloodline. It's time to kill them!"

Miku was delighted to hear those words.

Suddenly, her nails began to increase in length while her hair length increased by a few inches. Her eyes began to glow with golden pupils. Marks were spreading around her body gave off a terrifying feeling to Bernado.

Bernado knew what this transformation meant. This woman was a Demi-Human with the bloodline of a Beast!

Edwin had already noticed Miku's bloodline when he had first seen her. It was the Shadow Leopard Bloodline.

She could perfectly conceal her presence due to this bloodline.

Currently, Miku's attacks were much stronger and contained a trace of Shadow Element in them.

Miku possessed Wind Element, and this trace of Shadow Element had made her attacks a lot sharper and stronger.

She wouldn't easily use this transformation unless Bianca gave her the order or Bianca was in life-threatening danger. After all, it would greatly affect Bianca's prestige if word spread out that her personal maid was a demi-beast.

Miku had been prepared to use this transformation since she couldn't anticipate how the fight would go.

Bianca had stayed sitting the entire time, indicating that she didn't feel she was in any danger. Thus, Miku didn't dare to use this transformation till she heard Bianca's order.

Bianca chose to deal with the man who possessed the water element while Miku fought the warrior using Sound attacks.

While these two guards were handled by Bianca and her maid, Edwin was gazing at Bernado with a calculative look on his face.

'Time to kill him now.' Edwin thought while staring at Bernado. He moved his arm and prepared to launch Azure Flames to burn Bernado to ashes.

Suddenly, a gigantic rock was heading in his way.

Edwin was startled as he sensed that attack. He immediately turned around and burned that rock to ashes.

As he looked on the other side, he noticed it was a man who had passed the Azure Flame Wall.

Edwin knew how he had accomplished this feat.

'He is in an Enlightened State?!' Edwin's eyes widened with shock as he noticed that look on the warrior's face.

The warrior launched a barrage of rocks at Edwin from different directions.

Edwin frowned slightly as he sensed the size and the speed of these barrage of rocks. The power inside these rocks was much greater than this warrior could possess. It confirmed his guess that this man was in an enlightened state.

Dozens of rocks were heading his way with each passing second. Edwin used Azure Flames to burn the rocks and convert them to ashes. 

He noticed that the skin of the warrior ahead of him was turning red.

'The price of this power boost is his life force. It's burning quickly as he attacks me in this Enlightened State.'

Edwin turned towards Bernado and then thought 'Time to test my theory.'

He raised his hand and pointed it at Bernado. 'I should kill him now.'

Boom!

A loud explosion occurred on the other side of the Flame Wall.

Edwin looked in the Flame Wall's direction and saw another warrior passing the Azure Flame Wall.

'I see now… So that's what's going on.'
