A Demon's Journey

Roman was utterly dumbfounded and he fell to the ground. Not just him, but the other warriors of his forces were also flabbergasted to witness Noah utilizing the Sword Domain. Noah's control over his Sword Domain was quite bad. But without a doubt, this was a Sword Domain.

Noah was quite young, and he already possessed a great skillset. Whether it was his Sword Qi or his Sword Domain. His potential was truly frightening. Roman had been a very proud individual who believed in his ability and potential.

He hadn't lost hope even after he witnessed the Crown Prince's talent and strength. He felt that if he worked hard enough, he would be able to attain that height as well. The Crown Prince David Valliadis was a lot older than him.

However, Roman noticed that Noah was very young as compared to himself. By the time he reached Roman's age, he would be a supreme expert, capable of destroying entire cities or kingdoms.

Even now, the force he led had managed to attack the camp of the Sinyalian Kingdom's army and was actually successful in freeing the Glerian Kingdom's soldiers from their trap.

Noah slowly stood up and spoke out while staring in Roman's direction, "What a great duel it was. This is the end." Roman didn't understand what he meant and saw Noah turning his head and shouting out, "Everyone. It's time to retreat!"

A few moments later, all warriors of the Heretical Paladins vanished from this battlefield. They were retreating back to the Glerian Kingdom's encampment. The soldiers of the Glerian Kingdom had already escaped and more of the Sinyalian Kingdom's soldiers were joining this battlefield.

Any longer and the Heretical Paladins would be forced to battle against a large number of soldiers. Noah didn't want the Heretical Paladins to suffer some needless losses. He wanted to continue his battle against Roman, but he knew that he couldn't put his personal desires over his group.

Noah actually didn't know how the battle would go if it continued. He felt that there was a chance he could use if he didn't utilize the Sword Domain. It was for this reason that he only used the Sword Domain when his life was threatened.

He wanted to feel this pressure and use this opportunity to advance his skills. However, he had been inflicted with grave injuries. First, he would need to recover from these injuries and then focus on his gains.

Meanwhile, Roman gathered his force and all his subordinates began to give a detailed summary of their battles. Roman was slowly forming a profile about each warrior under Noah. He realized that they were all great talents. Moreover, the abilities some of them used allowed him to guess from which sect they belonged.

He understood that Luna belonged to the Night Mountain Sect because of the techniques she utilized. And he felt that Aria most likely belonged to the Black Lake Sect. He had some guesses about the other warriors in the Heretical Paladins and they utilized the Origin Sect's techniques.

Roman and many of his comrades from the War General Association had read a lot about the basic techniques used by the warriors of the Glerian Kingdom. They had read so much that they could easily differentiate the sect they belonged to.

The soldiers of the Sinyalian Kingdom had even devised strategies for dealing with the disciples of each sect differently. However, Roman couldn't understand why so many warriors of different sects would band together like this.

'Is it the King who ordered the formation of such a force? Did he find out about our strategies and wanted to deal with it?' Roman didn't understand how he should take this issue. He couldn't even move around a lot at this moment.

The injuries he suffered at Noah's hands were rather grave. All Roman could do was order Alby and his team to focus on the recovery pellets. Alby and his force were already focusing on this task. However, many of the pellets they kept for themselves had been handed over to Roman.

They all wanted Roman to heal quickly. The longer he stayed down like this, the longer they were vulnerable. In reality, the situation wasn't so bad. Just like Roman, Noah's Heretical Paladins were gravely injured as well. They couldn't launch an attack in the short run.

The next few days were peaceful for both sides. Other than some small skirmishes, nothing much occurred. Meanwhile, in the encampment, Noah and his warriors had already recovered. They could be seen training or meditating in the area assigned to them.

This was all due to the pellets Azaroth provided Noah. When Azaroth had given this mission of going to the battlefield to Noah, he had handed him hundreds of pellets that would allow them to recover quickly.

These pellets were Supreme Recovery Pellets. In the entire Glerian Kingdom, only Azaroth could concoct these pellets. The recipe of these pellets had been lost with the passage of time.

The Glerian Kingdom would have to purchase this formula from another Kingdom. And, regardless of whether it was an alchemic pill formula or an array formation, it would be offered at an exorbitant price.

The Glerian Kingdom's sovereign didn't feel that the recipe of these pellets was worth that price. Instead, he had invested that sum into a team of warriors who researched and developed new pellets.

Unfortunately for the Sovereign of the Glerian Kingdom, the results had been far from satisfying. At this moment, the situation on the borders was still heating up. Thus, the Sinyalian Kingdom would never sell the recipe of the Supreme Recovery Pellet or another useful pill recipe to the Glerian Kingdom.

The King believed that if there was a way, he could gain something, it would be through Dylan and Camille. The King was basically betting on Dylan. He had seen multiple warriors like Dylan in his life.

He knew they were blessed with great fate and instead of getting in their way, it would be best if they extracted some benefits from them. Getting the recipe and some array formations of the Lamhilhan Theocracy would greatly assist the Glerian Kingdom in the upcoming war and in the future as well.

The King was a little dissatisfied with the current situation in the Glerian Kingdom. He never thought that the Black Lake Sect would actually demolish the Night Mountain Sect. Although he didn't have some fond feelings for the Night Mountain Sect, he also didn't want to see it getting destroyed like that.

The worst thing was that the Black Lake Sect had looted all resources and treasures of the Night Mountain Sect, but they hadn't offered anything to the King.

In reality, Erica hadn't sent any offerings to the King because she didn't find a single treasure in the treasury of the Night Mountain Sect. She was actually expecting the King's envoy to come to her sect and question her about it.

She would then direct that envoy to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and highlight Azaroth. Once again, the contract wouldn't harm her because she would only be speaking the truth.

It was the Great Kun Spirit within Erica who was telling her of the loopholes of this contract and advising her on how she should act. Due to this, Erica remained confident of her chances. She also believed that Azaroth wouldn't punish her and would understand her situation.

After all, if the King actually tried to investigate. He would find out about Azaroth's presence and the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. After finding no treasures of the Night Mountain Sect in the Black Lake Sect, the king was bound to search for the other factions.

After finding out about the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, he would naturally investigate this newly created sect. Thus, Azaroth would be trapped either way.. So, Erica was merely sparing all that trouble for the King and saving herself and her own sect from getting on the King's bad side.
