A Demon's Journey

As time passed, Azaroth gathered an appropriate amount of Deathly Energy. Now, the question was where to set up this killing array.

Only by setting it at an appropriate location could he directly influence the battle between the Demon Emperors, Archangels, and the Emperor Ranked Human Experts.

Thus, Azaroth didn't set up his array formation just yet. He was waiting for a hint from either the Glerian Kingdom's Royal Family or the Archangels. The Demon Emperors were clearly more focused on contacting each other.

He'd heard that dozens of demon factions had suddenly appeared in the Lamhilhan Theocracy, each commanded by a Demon King! The situation in the Lamhilhan Theocracy became a little chaotic while the Archangels were busy dealing with these demon groups.

He also understood that the Archangels were probably waiting for reinforcements from the Heavens. As soon as they arrived, they would launch another assault on the Glerian Kingdom's Royal Capital and attempt to sweep all experts in this place.

There was a good chance that the reinforcements would include another Archangel with a God-Ranked Weapon.

The war against the Sinyalian Kingdom was turning cold. The Glerian Kingdom's army had managed to force a draw against the Sinyalian Kingdom's army.

It appeared as though the Monarch of the Sinyalian Kingdom realized the grave situation within the Glerian Kingdom and didn't wish to continue this war any longer. Actually, it would be more appropriate to say that he was waiting.

King Valliadis was waiting for more information and the defeat of the Glerian Kingdom's Royal Family. He didn't fear the Lamhilhan Theocracy that greatly. He had already struck a deal with the Emissaries of Clyranis to handle the Radiant Church.

The Emissaries of Clyranis had taken a noble oath that they would prevent the Radiant Church from harming King Valliadis. Naturally, both parties signed a contract to enjoy mutual benefits.

However, the contract restrained the target of Emissaries of Clyranis to the Radiant Church. The Emissaries of Clyranis won't assist the Sinyalian Kingdom with any other issue. At that moment, another contract would be created.

The King didn't doubt the capability of Emissaries of Clyranis. This was because Clyranis was a rather famous god who struck fear in everyone. He was called a terrifying Poison God, and his terror wasn't without reason.

His poison was strong enough to even kill God-Ranked Experts. He had achieved the feat of killing another Celestial God in a battle. The battle occurred for personal reasons only and didn't affect his standing in Heaven.

Thus, even the Radiant God feared Clyranis God to quite some extent. He wouldn't dare to go against Clyranis God for an insignificant reason.

As the war cooled down, one individual had lost all color. It was none other than Shun Gordon. His plan had utterly failed as the king slowly pulled his forces from the war. There was no way to salvage the situation.

'Shit! The appearance of the Lamhilhan Theocracy in this war was beyond my expectations! I knew that the Lamhilhan Theocracy would act upon noticing the Glerian Kingdom's situation, but I didn't expect they would be so earnest as to send their Archangels! Moreover, the Glerian Kingdom's Royal Family still has its 7 Star Warriors capable of resisting those Celestial Archangels.'

'What should I do?! If this continues, the Demon God will slip right through my fingers! No…He has probably already slipped out of my fingers. I am merely counting on a small chance that he is still in the Glerian Kingdom!'

Even though it was a tiny chance, Shun believed it was a chance worth dying for.

'Fuck it. Since that's the case, I will use everything,' Shun thought with a determined expression.

He did have a plan on how he should proceed further. He was aware of his strengths and knew that he was much stronger than a typical warrior.

He didn't know whether it was because of his bloodline or something else, but he felt innately connected to the Stars. Not just a particular star, but all the stars in the sky. Even the ones he couldn't see yet.

The stars granted him unknown energy that allowed him to digest nearly any resource in the world, no matter how potent it was.

Shun had broken through to the 5 Star Rank by cultivating earnestly and swallowing multiple precious resources containing potent energy.

'What would happen if I swallowed a part of a Law?' Shun knew that he was only missing the power of a Law to break through to the 6 Star Rank. And he knew exactly where to find that Power of Law.

'The Secret Royal Treasury…' This treasure and the location of this Secret Royal Treasury was something that the King had kept concealed from the entire world. The people who knew about this could be counted on one hand, including Shun.

The power of laws was used to assist warriors in gaining insights and breakthrough to the 6 Star Rank.

Shun also didn't have accurate information regarding this matter. But he had noticed the hints. It was during the time when he devised a plan to capture Edwin.

At that time, Shun was handed the list of all the 6 Star Warriors. In that list, Shun noticed several names of warriors who used to be 5 Star Warriors. If it was just one or two, he wouldn't have been very shocked. But he recognized nearly 14 names of warriors who used to be 5 Star Rank and had recently advanced to the 6 Star Rank.

After apprehending Edwin, he spoke with a few of them and attempted to learn more about their unexpected advancement. He thought their breakthrough was strange because the timing was incredibly convenient, and their combat power was extremely pathetic.

Some of them opened their mouths regarding this sudden advancement. They were rather delighted as they informed Shun of the entire situation.

Apparently, they approached King Valliadis to assist them in their breakthrough. They were expecting for King Valliadis to send a warrior to guide them and allow them to gain insight into a law, but that wasn't the case.

King Valliadis instead ordered them to sign a slave contract with their lives in his control. They all sold their lives to him in return for advancing to the 6 Star Rank.

After that, they were all knocked out and taken to a rather unfamiliar location. It was a large space with a massive lava floor, rocky area, the mountain summit, and ocean.

According to their descriptions, Shun guessed that there were at least four locations. All these locations possessed distinct power of laws.

Actually, there was one common thing. An orb rotated in the middle of this space that released a tremendous aura. And from what they sensed; it was the thing releasing the power of laws in that space.

Since Shun belonged to the King's faction at that moment, they had revealed this secret information rather easily. The slave contract couldn't restrict them from talking about their experiences.

If they had known earlier that Shun would use this information to harm the King, then they would have died immediately. The contract depended on perception of the individual in the current moment.

At this time, Shun was planning to swallow the power of these laws to advance to the 6 Star Rank.

Shun had no true element since he could use all elements with equal proficiency as long as he could connect his spirit to the star possessing an appropriate element. Even the Wood Element, the Ice Element, the Metal Element, the Gold Element, and many other elements.

But it wasn't easy to connect to stars possessing variant element. Thus, Shun possessed all of the basic five elements and the Gold and Ice Elements.

According to the description of these people, Shun was sure that he could absorb the power of laws stored by the Royal Family without much issue.
