A Demon's Journey

"Dragon Throw!" William began the battle by launching his strongest attack at Noah.

Noah had a serious look as he saw that attack heading for him. The force and speed within that attack were quite great.

'It's attacking pattern is linear, though.' Noah thought as he jumped out of the way and dodged this attack.

Noah rushed towards William to attack him with his sword technique.

However, William remained rooted at his spot. In fact, he adjusted his posture and was now in the same position as when he threw his spear.

Noah was slightly confused as he saw him go into that posture again. There was no spear in William's hand any longer. So, what was he going to attack him with?

Noah soon realized the answer to this question.

The Spear that William had thrown earlier suddenly shook as it shot towards William's hand.

It flew at such speed that even with Noah's powerful and sharp battle instinct, he barely dodged it.

When William held that spear, he gave a challenging look to Noah before launching his spear at him.

Noah unconsciously smirked as he realized that this guy was actually quite strong. He remembered Azaroth had mentioned that this guy would serve under him.

Noah felt that he had to completely convince William of his defeat. That he was weaker!

He finally pulled his sword while gathering the Sword Qi near the tip of the blade. Just when the spear was about to strike Noah's body, Noah struck that tip of the spear's blade with his Sword Blade's tip.

For a few seconds, the two remained stationary. Then suddenly, the Spear was launched back at William.

William was shocked to see this occur. Even when he was injured, not a single individual had managed to perfectly toss back his spear like that.

William grabbed hold of his returning spear and was extremely shocked that his strength couldn't stop this spear's momentum.

He felt that the spear was dragging him back.

After dragging him back by a couple of meters, William stopped. As he looked at his right hand, he noticed it was trembling in fear.

He didn't have time to get lost in useless thoughts as Noah had closed the distance between them.

William knew that Noah was extremely skilled in close combat. Trying to win him in close combat would be a foolish thing to do.

"Wild Spin!" He began to spin his spear quickly with a single hand and moved towards Noah.

He wanted to push Noah back by a couple of steps and suddenly launch his spear from close range.

Noah snorted at this attack. He whispered, "This kind of unpolished attack won't work against a strong warrior."

He suddenly thrust his sword at William. And surprisingly, the sword didn't collide with the spear, and it had already reached William's throat.

"I could see how your spear was spinning. A powerful warrior has trained eyes who can easily follow this speed. You must always have a plan or a continuation of that attack in mind, or else it won't work," Noah spoke as he pulled back his sword and sheathed it.

William nodded his head in understanding. The two then looked to see in Azaroth's direction.

Azaroth moved towards and spoke to William, "From now on, you will work under Noah until he believes you are ready. He will assist you in controlling your divine strength and your elements."

William nodded in affirmation. He looked in Noah's direction and spoke with a polite and sincere tone, "I will be under your care, Master Noah."

Noah's expression softened a bit as he heard those words and ordered him, "Let's go and introduce you to your comrades."

Once the two were gone, Azaroth was lost in deep thought.

'The news of the slaughter of the Dragon Squad and the Tiger Squad of the Dragon Tiger Palace must have spread all over the Glerian Kingdom. The various factions must have realized that this Origin Sect Branch is quite strange. They must be thinking of sending their men to investigate this Origin Sect Branch.'

Azaroth didn't place these factions in his eyes except for one. That was the King's faction.

If the King was interested in knowing the secret behind the Origin Sect Branch, it would be challenging for Azaroth to continue to conceal his presence.

Meanwhile, he knew that the King hadn't linked him to Noah. If the king found out that Noah was the subordinate of the demon that was trading resources with him, he would most likely order Noah to capture Azaroth.

And if he couldn't capture Azaroth, then Noah had to kill him.

Naturally, with Noah's loyalty, it was impossible for him to perform this action. However, if Noah didn't obey the king's order, the King would take away his authority as the General of the Glerian Kingdom.

Azaroth also didn't want Noah to lose this authority.

'Looks like it's time to meet my old acquaintance.' Azaroth thought with a sinister smirk.

In the meantime, the Sinyalian Kingdom was experiencing some panic.

The eighth prince of the Sinyalian Kingdom had been attacked. Fortunately, his guards arrived in time, and the assassin couldn't kill him.

But he had fallen unconscious due to his injuries. The one who organized this attack was none other than Piero.

Piero was the chief advisor of his brother, who managed the entire Lewis Family while also leading the Noble Houses Alliance.

Even though his brother was the nominal leader, Piero was the one who knew sensitive information about these Noble Houses.

He even knew their secret contacts that had been planted in the Royal Palace. When contacting them, he made sure to prevent them from figuring out his true identity.

They wouldn't find any abnormalities in his way of talking or anything else. His disguise was also perfect.

These individuals acted on his order and attacked the eighth prince. This was an extremely perilous mission. Thus, the reward was just as bountiful.

Piero didn't know why Bianca wanted him to attack the eighth prince, but he figured she would mention it eventually.

He had promised her that he would help her regardless of what she wanted. He soon returned to the house and informed her about this news.

She suddenly pulled him into her bedroom and kissed him fiercely.

Piero felt intoxicated by that kiss. His pants felt incredibly tight, and he wanted to tear them apart and let him lose all his lust on Bianca.

This woman was wearing tight clothing just to flare up his lust.

However, just as he was about to lay his hands on Bianca, a very sweet fragrance entered his nose.

Piero's eyes immediately dropped as he inhaled that sweet fragrance. Bianca slowly pushed him away from her body.

She then finally contacted Azaroth 'Master, your task is complete. I made Piero have someone attack the eighth prince. If the King investigates the assassin, he will realize that this assassin is related to the Noble House Alliance.'

Azaroth listened to her and was satisfied 'Good. What of Sophie? How is her array studies going on?'

'She mentioned that if she possesses enough resources, she can accurately construct mid-tier 6 Star Arrays.' Bianca replied immediately.

Azaroth raised his brow as he was quite surprised by this talent.

'It might indeed be worthwhile to keep her connected to me,' Azaroth thought.

'But that woman was completely in love with my identity as Edwin. Convincing her that I am Edwin would be difficult. If she finds out I am a demon, then the situation would become more complicated.'
