A Demon's Journey

It had been nearly two days since King Valliadis began the process of activating the Saint Stele. And now, it was nearly the time.

The Saint Stele was glowing with a bright light. A ray shot out of the Saint Stele that scanned King Valliadis.

King Valliadis collapsed on the ground, his face pallid and limp with wide-open eyes. Shun rushed to King Valliadis's side and picked up his body. The lack of vitality in King Valliadis' body astounded him.

Moreover, King Valliadis's body was withering at a rapid rate. Soon, his body converted into rough ashes.

At this time, the Blood Array that King Valliadis had laid down was glowing vibrantly. A black aura appeared over the Blood Array as the Saint Stele released a Golden Beam towards it.

The Black Aura and that Golden Beam combined before Shun sensed unreal energy repelling him from the location.

The shockwave was so strong that even though Shun was a 6 Star Warrior now, he couldn't resist it.

Shun's body was plastered against the rough walls of this underground chamber as he stared at that black aura rapidly changing shape.

Soon, its shape converted into a vertical oval shape facing Shun. The shockwave vanished once that shape was fully formed, and Shun fell down.

He could see fabulous scenery on the other side of that oval portal. This scenery definitely belonged to a mountain peak. Shun could see dense white clouds actually beneath the ground, which just indicated just how tall this mountain peak was.

Moreover, there was a man seated on a stone, wearing orange clothing. It was a thin old man that had long white hair and a beard. He gave off a rather wise aura while his eyes contained a strange sharpness that seeped into Shun's body.

"…Who are you? And what is your request?" The old man asked as he wrinkled his brows.

"I belong to the Sinyalian Kingdom. My King activated this Saint Stele to request for your assistance in slaying a Demon God who has infiltrated the Sinyalian Kingdom!" Shun quickly spoke as he chose his words rather carefully.

The old man's expression remained neutral even as he heard of the issue. It seemed like an everyday matter for him.

"How many are there?" The old man asked plainly.

"Just one. But he reincarnated inside a human and has reached the 6 Star Rank," Shun further explained the situation to this old man. For some reason, Shun received a rather menacing aura from this old man.

He had a feeling that this old man must never be threatened.

The old man frowned slightly upon hearing Shun's words, "You used the Sacrificial Royal Blood Communication Array to request for my assistance in dealing with a mere Demon King? Are you kidding me?!"

The old man's aura seemed to pass through that oval portal and directly brought Shun to his knees.

Before Shun could say anything, the old man continued, "Any random Emperor Ranked Expert can kill this demon right now!"

Shun gritted his teeth upon hearing those words. He was getting angry at those words and whispered in his mind 'Oh Great Sacred Stars. Please lend me your strength!'

Shun borrowed the power of nearly thirty stars at once, but even then, the pressure on his body lightened only slightly!

The old man seemed a bit startled as he sensed the aura of multiple stars. He thought seriously 'So he is this generation's Royal Prince of Stars?!'

This was a stunning piece of information, yet the old man remained indifferent. Shun's body was still under relentless pressure!

"…If the solution was so simple, the King wouldn't have sacrificed his life to activate that damn Stele! At this moment, this Demon God is in the Glerian Kingdom that's embroiled in a war against the Lamhilhan Theocracy."

"I don't suppose you will understand me like this. Then let me change my words. The Lamhilhan Theocracy is under the control of the Radiant Church led by the Radiant God!"

"Archangels are swarming the Glerian Kingdom's capital while the Ancestors of the Glerian Kingdom's royal family battle them. And even amongst all this chaos, this Demon God managed to slay those Emperor Ranked Experts at his current power level."

"He managed to repel even the Radiant God's True Body that personally arrived to slay this fellow! Now, do you think he is just a random fellow?!" Shun let out deep breaths as he spoke those words.

Meanwhile, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked coldly, "What did you say? The Radiant God's True Body arrived? Are you sure about that?"

"Very sure!" Shun responded in a heartbeat. He didn't understand why this old man seemed so bothered about this fact rather than focusing on the Demon God.

In reality, the old man was startled that a God-Ranked Expert of another race managed to infiltrate Frascoia Continent, and he had no idea.

This old man's senses extended over the entire Frascoia Continent. Yet, he had never sensed the presence of the Radiant God. It was a terrifying piece of information!

"I had my fair share of battles against this Demon God. He is an extremely intelligent fellow who plans ahead. He always has a secret plan to deal with all kinds of bad situations. And another thing I noticed is that he seems a bit too focused on committing a massacre."

The more he heard, the more the old man frowned.

"He continues to involve himself in this war between Emperor Ranked Experts of the Glerian Kingdom and the Lamhilhan Theocracy despite the wide difference between the King Rank and the Emperor Rank. So tell me, would any random Emperor Rank Expert accomplish the job of slaying this Demon God?"

"In my opinion, if I send an Emperor Ranked Expert after him, he will find a way to use the Archangels or those Ancestral Warriors of the Glerian Kingdom to kill that Emperor Ranked Expert."

"I thought that this Saint Stele would give me a method to slay that Demon God. That this Saint Stele would possess something that would be outside of that Demon God's expectations! However, I see that I was expecting a bit too much. All I see is a senile old man who is living in his own paradise," Shun spoke with a disdainful look.

He knew that this old man was an extremely powerful being. It was very powerful that he was at the Saint Rank. At the least, this was what his Earth Spark indicated, but Shun no longer feared him!

Shun wanted this old man to understand that underestimating Azaroth was not a good idea! The pressure around Shun soon dispersed.

"…I see. You have caught my attention. I will be sure to send a Lesser Saint to slay this Demon God. Give me a sketch to identify him," the old man spoke.

Shun immediately spoke, "I don't have a sketch, but from what I heard, he is an extremely handsome fellow with blonde hair and red eyes."

The old man rolled his eyes upon hearing that description and responded a bit angrily and sarcastically, "Yeah. This helps a lot."

However, Shun didn't give up and spoke out, "This doesn't matter at all! I still have my comrades in the Glerian Kingdom! They personally saw that Demon God and can definitely identify him!"

"I see. Then what is the name of this Demon God? He must have a name, right?" The old man asked, a bit convinced by Shun's words.

Shun was a bit embarrassed as he heard that question, but he still responded, "I don't know his true name. Sometimes he uses Edwin and sometimes it's Nudar. Or maybe his name is something else entirely. However, I know his title!"

"I found his totem once through which I suspected he preserved his spirit. With the help of a famous archeologist who was proficient in reading Ancient Demon Language, we read the title on his totem. It said, Tyrannical Asura Devil God!"

The old man's eyes widened as he spoke while grinding his teeth, "Tyrannical Asura Devil God, Azaroth!"
