《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
While Sargan and Yrellea were focusing on building their information network, Azaroth reached Veninza City.
This was the same city where Lennox Rees lived. The man who had illegally entered the Sinyalian Kingdom and then made a deal with Azaroth.
Azaroth didn't immediately go to meet Lennox Rees. He remembered his Aura Signature and found him before he even entered the city.
And according to his senses, there were quite strong men next to Lennox Rees.
According to the distance between them, these men seemed to be keeping an eye on him.
Azaroth could naturally sneak into Lennox Rees's house, but he wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with him under this scrutiny.
From what he could sense, there were three 4 Star Warriors and two 5 Star Warriors keeping an eye on Lennox Rees.
If he killed or attacked any of them, they would probably use some treasure to send a signal for reinforcement.
Even if he slaughtered them all before they noticed something was amiss, the Kingdom would undoubtedly begin to investigate Lennox Rees more thoroughly and devote special attention to him.
That would be counter-productive for Azaroth.
There was also the fact that Azaroth had recently revealed the information that a demon had entered the Glerian Kingdom. Moreover, this demon had come from the Sinyalian Kingdom.
The King and his advisers should be able to connect the dots quickly.
Once they realize that it was the same demon who planned to have a deal with them, they would definitely devote more attention to Lennox Rees.
In fact, Azaroth wasn't sure if Lennox Rees's house was devoid of listening arrays or some other traps.
However, this also didn't mean Azaroth was completely helpless in this situation.
He had his own methods of arranging a meeting with Lennox Rees. But first, he had to set up the tasks for Ralph, Noah, and Laura.
After entering the city, he informed them, "The three of you will create your own groups."

Azaroth then spoke to them seriously, "Noah, your group will focus on close-combat. You will train them in close-combat skills mainly."
Noah devotedly nodded his head. He was ready to go and create the group.
He then turned towards Laura and spoke, "Laura, I don't exactly know of your skill with the bow. But as an Elf, it shouldn't be too bad."
Laura looked quite proud upon hearing Azaroth's words. She was proud of her wooden techniques, but she believed her skill with the bow and arrow would completely shock Azaroth.
In fact, she had been planning to show off in front of him in some sort of tournament or hunting. She didn't expect him to already know about it.
"I am really good at using the Bow. I can even hit the moving beasts." Laura spoke with a proud expression.
Azaroth merely nodded with a neutral face and added, "That's barely satisfactory. As an elf, your skill with the bow should reach a level where you can hold off the rainfall with your arrows during a storm."
Laura's eyes widened slightly as she heard the phrase from Azaroth's mouth.
This wasn't the first time she had heard this phrase. The one who had previously spoken this phrase to her was none other than her mother, who taught her archery.
Even though she possessed great talent in archery, her mother would still scold her to not be satisfied with such a level. She had to reach a level where she could hold off a storm with her arrows.
She had always thought her mother was exaggerating. But now, hearing the same phrase from Azaroth's mouth, she felt that there was more to this than just being a simple legend.
After all, Azaroth wasn't an elf. He couldn't know of a legend famous among the elves.
Naturally, Azaroth had no idea that there was such a legend among the elves. He had spoken those words because he had seen that sight with his own eyes.

The Elf Queen, the strongest expert from the Elven Race, protected the entire Elven Kingdom from a Catastrophic Storm.
That Catastrophic Storm was an attack from the Demon Venerable. However, the Elf Queen used her Archery Skills to attack such a humongous scale.
Even during his peak, Azaroth would never boast that he could deal with an attack of that scale. This was how strong that attack was.
Soon, he jolted out of his trance and focused on Ralph, "You will register in the Dragon Tiger Palace and form a group that focuses on hunting beasts."
Ralph nodded his head, but he asked with a confused expression, "How do I develop such a group, master?"
"Create it from scratch. Accept anyone under the age of 25. Their cultivation shouldn't be lower than the 2 Star Rank. Don't be too restrained. You can create all sorts of trouble. Remember that I have your back." Azaroth spoke with a confident tone.
He then looked at Noah and Laura, "I am sure you also have no idea how to create a group in this city. So, I will give you a hint. The rest would depend on you."
"There is nothing that can't be bought. The question is whether you can pay the price for it or not. Also, remember to stop once your group reaches 1000 members."
Noah and Laura heard his words and firmly remembered them in their hearts.
Laura and Noah now had an idea of what he wanted them to do.
"This is the Mystical Spiritual Connection Rings. You will find all that you need inside it." He handed the three rings to Laura, Noah, and Ralph.
"Now go!"
Azaroth ordered the three and dispersed them.
They obeyed his order and immediately went in different directions. Ralph was moving towards the headquarters of the Dragon Tiger Palace while Noah and Laura were moving towards the residential area in Veninza City.
Noah was planning to cover the western area of the city while Laura was going to cover the city's eastern area.
Now, only Tiana remained ahead of Azaroth.
"We will leave soon," Azaroth ordered her.
Tiana was surprised and asked him, "Are we going to leave them here?"
Azaroth replied emotionlessly, "Yes. It should take them nearly a month or so to accomplish the tasks I assigned them."
"Didn't master ask Ralph to create all sorts of trouble? How will you help him if you aren't in the city?" Tiana curiously asked Azaroth.
Azaroth ignored her question and continued, "While the three focus on creating their own forces, I am going to set up the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley. This will be your sect."
Tiana was slightly excited upon hearing the name of her sect.
"Your sect is going to be situated in the 'Valley of the Arctic Summit.' So we need to depart for that place as soon as possible."
Tiana was surprised upon hearing the name of the location. She knew a bit about this Arctic Summit. She had remembered the map of the Glerian Kingdom as well.
The Arctic Summit was in the extreme north of the Glerian Kingdom. It was the highest mountain peak within the Boreal Mountain Chain. Moreover, many dangerous beasts were living in that mountain range. And it was this Boreal Mountain Chain that acted as a natural border between the Glerian Kingdom, Alinginian Kingdom, and the Jorailian Kingdom. If not for this mountain range, the Glerian Kingdom would have been attacked by the Alinginian Kingdom and suffer disastrous losses.
Azaroth soon began to use his Ardor to make himself and Tiana fly towards the Arctic Summit at a quick pace.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
