Even though Azaroth had more or less dealt with the Earth Elemental Warrior, the Giant Tsunami was still charging at him.

Pointing his hand in the Great Tsunami's direction, he whispered slowly, "Lightning Sphere!"

​​

Instantly, a large ball of Lightning formed ahead of his palm and Azaroth released it immediately.

This Large Lightning Ball struck that Great Tsunami. And unsurprisingly, it dispersed the water upon contact. It began to move towards that Water Elemental Warrior.

The fight had more or less ended.

Just when this thought occurred in Azaroth's mind, the Earth Elemental Warrior opened his eyes and stared at that Large Lightning Ball.

Blood leaked out of his mouth, nose, and even his eyes, but he still forced his body to move. A brown colored Ardor began to appear around his body.

The Large Lightning Ball soon approached him and was about to kill him before moving forward as well.

However, the Earth Elemental Warrior stretched his arms and prevented this Large Lightning Sphere from moving forwards.

In fact, a few moments later, his grip over this Lightning Ball had increased and he began to push it in Azaroth's direction.

Azaroth had naturally noticed what was going on.

Before the Earth Elemental Warrior could even take 2 steps forward, Azaroth spoke, "Boom!"

Immediately enough, the Lightning Ball exploded.

Azaroth had already created a barrier ahead of him so he wasn't affected when the Lightning Ball Exploded.

As for his opponent, he wasn't sure how to describe his state.

The Earth Elemental Warrior who had managed to stop the Lightning Ball felt the impact at a close range. His Earth Ardor though protected him from the blast.

However, the effect of this explosion hadn't ended. A lot of Lightning Ardor infiltrated his body and began to destroy it from the inside.

Even the warrior's Earth Ardor couldn't save protect his delicate Internal Organs that had barely survived after the warrior was struck by that Great Tsunami without his Earth Ardor blocking the impact.

Because of the explosion of that Lightning Ball, the Lightning Ardor was conducting across the Great Tsunami. And this was worsening the Earth Elemental Warrior's state with each passing second.

The Water Elemental Warrior immediately stopped using the Great Tsunami. He understood that by continuing to use that attack, he was merely harming his comrade.

The Great Tsunami soon dispersed.

The Water Elemental Warrior was planning to attack Azaroth using his other techniques but he couldn't find Azaroth.

He looked around and his pupils widened in shock as he saw a black flash moving around the walls of the tunnel.

By the time his opponent spotted him, Azaroth had already closed the gap between them.

'Triple Slash!'

Azaroth raised his sword and attacked the warrior quickly. His speed was much faster than the previous time he used this attack.

A bubble appeared around Azaroth's opponent as he blocked Azaroth's slashes.

When the warrior successfully managed to block Azaroth's attack, he was quite pleased with his bubble barrier.

The bubble was elastic. And when it was struck by a physical attack, it would slow them down and then release that attack back at the opponent.

Out of three slashes, only the first one was blocked though. Now that Azaroth knew the properties of this bubble, he added Black Lightning to his Sword.

The next time his blade collided with that bubble, the bubble was easily pierced.

Azaroth's sword sliced off his head before his opponent even realized why his bubble was pierced.

After killing him off, Azaroth walked to the Earth Elemental Warrior, who was fatally injured. He stabbed the man and then spoke out, "Alright, it's safe now."

One by one, his retainers approached Azaroth. They had seen the fight from a distance and had a solemn look on their faces.

Initially, they had been quite proud of their powers. However, seeing this fight, they understood they were still too weak. They had to grow stronger if they were to get involved in fights of this level.

Azaroth wasn't going to train them any longer. They had to grow strong on their own from now on while also completing their missions.

This was Azaroth's motive for killing these soldiers slowly over time. He wanted his retainers to realize that they would be facing much more formidable foes in the future. They couldn't take pride in the fact that they had defeated their past adversaries.

"Let's go. We will have pursuers after us soon enough." Azaroth spoke with a serious voice.

Azaroth used his Ardor and controlled the bodies of all his retainers. Soon enough, they were all flying towards the Glerian Kingdom.

Right now, Azaroth was using his top speed while flying so even if a group was pursuing them, they would never be able to catch up to him.

After flying for nearly half a day, they finally reached their destination. The tunnel ended and they saw a hollow cavity above them. It was remotely similar to the entrance of this tunnel.

A smile appeared on his retainers' faces as they understood they had finally reached the Glerian Kingdom.

Two White Wings of pure Holy Ardor were created on Azaroth's back and he flew with his top speed.

He reached the top soon enough. Azaroth and his retainers pushed open the wooden floor and left the Hollow Cavity.

Just like in Yhord City, they were in a house.

They left the room and soon encountered a servant. Azaroth spoke to him, "Give us a brief map of the Glerian Kingdom. A basic map political map."

The servant was used to such requests and spoke, "The map would cost Sir 300 Spirit Coins."

There was a smile on the servant's face.

Azaroth knew that a basic political map couldn't cost that much but it was expected that this servant would charge him so much. This was an enemy territory after all. And these people held their lives in their hands.

He handed over the 300 Spirit Coins and received a map soon enough.

Azaroth placed the map away in his Spatial Ring while telling the servant, "Lead us out."

"Yes. Don't mention anything about the Merchant Union." The servant warned Azaroth with a serious face.

"I know," Azaroth spoke with a shrug.

Soon enough, they all left the house.

Azaroth took his retainers to the market. Firstly, they had to buy the local clothes of the Glerian Kingdom and wear them.

The Sinyalian Kingdom's clothes were better in terms of designs while the Glerian Kingdom's clothing was rather plain in comparison.

Only very rich merchants could afford well-designed clothing.

If Azaroth and his retainers continued to wear the clothes they were wearing, they would stand out too much.

And it wouldn't be a good idea to stand out so much in an unfamiliar kingdom.

Meanwhile, Edwin contacted Rein Schwarz, the Vice-Head of the Merchant Union, using the Voice Transmission Array Stone.

Rein Schwarz was puzzled to find out that Edwin was contacting him. Keeping Edwin's relationship with Sophie in his mind, he decided to talk to him.

"What is it, Sir Edwin?" Rein Schwarz asked him.

"I have a request for you, Sir Rein."
