A Demon's Journey

Chapter 377 - Zena Arrives

Azaroth had brought these women back to their camp. They were all resting in their respective tents. Their bodies were still riddled with injuries as Azaroth hadn't healed them.

Naturally, Azaroth had a good reason for not healing them. Firstly, he wanted to increase their willpower, and enduring some pain was a good way to strengthen someone's willpower.

Secondly, the blood that was leaking out of their body was filled with impurities. If he healed them now and prevented this blood from leaking out, it would mix with the pure blood that would be filled with energy.

If these impurities mixed with that blood, the blood would lose quite a bit of its spirituality and power. Azaroth wanted to have them enjoy the fruits of their labor.

He stared at two women who had entered into a semi-enlightened state. It was surprising to see two women out of ten entering into a semi-enlightened state.

Azaroth understood that these two had an immense potential within them. These two women were none other than Helena and Iris.

Once he was sure that no one was facing life-threatening danger, he went in the middle of the camp and whistled loudly.

Just as he had expected, he saw a lightning star heading towards him. A slight smile appeared on Azaroth's face as he called out, "Good to see that you have arrived, Zena."

Zena had come in her little bird's form using her shapeshifting ability. She immediately crashed into his chest as if wanting to embrace him.

Azaroth gently patted her head and asked her, "Are those Frozen Spirit Foxes doing well?"

Zena immediately let out some squeaks to reply back to her. According to what Azaroth understood, the Frozen Spirit Foxes had already taken over the territory of a Blue Palmed Frog.

It seemed as though this Blue Palmed Frog was a 4 Star Expert. Zena was initially planning to assist them, but they managed to deal with that Frog by themselves.

Azaroth wasn't surprised at all. Even though these Frozen Spirit Foxes were three-star beasts, they possessed Ice Attribute. One that would completely overwhelm the water attribute of the Blue Palmed Frog.

Moreover, among these two foxes was a Frozen Spirit Fox Empress that possessed Emperor Mark on her forehead. If she used that mark, it should have greatly suppressed the ability of that Frog.

Azaroth nodded his head in satisfaction and spoke, "Good. Order them that it's time to relocate. They should set up a camp near our current position."

When Zena heard those words, she squealed in delight and began to circle around Azaroth excitedly.

It meant she could also stay near Azaroth from now on. Zena liked playing with the Frozen Spirit Foxes, but as she grew, she wanted to be more with Azaroth.

Azaroth let out a sigh as he thought 'News of this slaughter will soon reach the Night Mountain Sect. If they have a great relationship with the beasts in the area, the beasts will attack us tonight. It would be beneficial for Zena and the Foxes to get some exercise.'

 

'The Black Lake Sect will soon realize that the strength of this group isn't what it seems. They are going to begin investigating us as well. Not that it matters.' Azaroth had a cold smile on his face.

After nearly 3 hours, Zena returned with the Frozen Spirit Foxes closely following her. The territory of these two foxes was just a bit farther away from the Black Lake Sect's territory, so it didn't take them long to reach Azaroth's camp.

These Frozen Spirit Foxes were still very young, and when they appeared, they rushed to their owners.

One was owned by Tiana, while the other belonged to Helena. These foxes were shocked to see their masters so injured.

The symbol on their forehead began to glow with a reddish glow. These two were completely infuriated. Suddenly, the two heard Zena's loud screech.

The shine of their symbol immediately began to fade as they came out of the tents of their master. They still had a greatly displeased look on their faces.

These foxes soon stood ahead of Azaroth. They naturally recalled this man. But not because he slaughtered their entire tribe, but because he was the first person they saw after their evolution.

During their evolution, Azaroth had wiped out their memories. He knew things would be troublesome if these foxes recalled that he had massacred their tribe.

"Are you worried about the injuries you saw on your master's bodies?" Azaroth's question was met with a nod.

Azaroth spoke with a calm expression, "It's not as serious as it seems. They aren't in any mortal danger. After a few days of rest, they will recover."

These foxes looked at each other before nodding their heads to signify that they understood.

"Alright, since that's out of the way, let's talk about something else. I have an important task for you. From now on, the two of you and Zena are also going to live with us in this camp."

"Your task would be to deal with any beast that approaches our camp. I hardly care whether you subdue them or kill them. I don't need any attacks from them," Azaroth spoke with a commanding tone.

Zena suddenly appeared in front of the two foxes, and serious squeaked. She seemed to be saying to leave everything to her.

There was a little bit of fear in the eyes of those foxes as they saw Zena. Clearly, they had been greatly bullied by this little bird.

Zena was like a strict instructor who would get the job done from these two foxes.

Azaroth stretched his arms a little as he returned to his tent and sat in a lotus position before beginning his meditation.

He knew that he couldn't advance to the 6 Star Rank by absorbing the surrounding energy anymore. He still kept this habit.

It was something like a routine for him at this moment. It allowed him to empty his mind of any troubles and calm him down. This was also one of the only methods to advance mentally.

Azaroth was now waiting for some time to pass. He had to get the report from Sargan as well. Whether he could kidnap that guard captain of that woman or not. He wasn't worried about Sargan's well-being. If Sargan was in trouble, he would have immediately used the Mystical Spiritual Connecting Ring to request help from him.

Since Sargan hadn't yet contacted him, it meant he was still looking for an opportunity.

Similar was the case with Bianca. She had already kidnapped that Alchemist Liam Parker and also informed him of her offer.

The Alchemist had no choice but to agree, or his family would suffer. He received the recipe for the poison.

The poison was quite complex for him, and he required some time to deduce it completely. After a few hours, he finished deducing it and requested the herbs and resources required to concoct it.

However, Bianca still hadn't managed to gather all the resources for this poison. For some reason, three of the main ingredients were completely out of stock in Mesenana City.

She had informed Azaroth and asked him whether she should use her name to order some ingredients from another city.

Azaroth stopped her from taking that action. The ingredients she was ordering were widely known to be used in poisonous medicines.

If she ordered them, she would be shouting that she wanted to concoct poison!

Azaroth sent a message to Josephine and asked her to sneak some ingredients into a carriage and send it to Mesenana City.

Even the carriage driver had no idea that precious ingredients were mixed into the materials of his carriage.

Bianca was going to have her maid get those ingredients from that carriage, and no one would know.

Hence, Bianca was waiting for this carriage to arrive.
