《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey
Advertisement
Due to the high rank of his Bloodline, Sargan could connect to the Underground Labyrinth of the Demons near Vlashire City.
His sensing range expanded while he could also sense the large distance in greater detail. This wasn't Sargan's own skill but the skill he gained after connecting with the Underground Labyrinth. If he cut off this connection, he would immediately lose these sensing abilities.
And currently, Sargan sensed the presence of three 5 Star Warriors near his position. They appeared ready to ponce at him at any moment.
He was somewhat nervous as he understood he had been tricked.
'The Governor or someone else already found out my spies. However, they intentionally didn't expose them to find how I would use this information.'
It went without saying that whoever thought up of such a move was quite bold. The man was risking to expose this Underground Labyrinth by letting someone unknown know of it.
However, Sargan had failed to consider that the Underground Labyrinth couldn't remain concealed for long.
Thus, the Governor was trying to fish out the spies as well as their masters and find out whether someone possessed the ability to unlock this entrance or not.
These 5 Star Warriors were perhaps his most loyal men. And they were immediately waiting for Sargan to unlock the door or show any sign that he could unlock it.
He knew that they wouldn't allow him to leave. They would attack him if he even turned his body.
Strangely, although he felt a strong sense of danger, he didn't feel any fear. He felt strangely calm.
This was not something he had experienced before. However, it felt to him as if the entire situation was still under his control.
He then looked at the entrance of the Underground Labyrinth.
Suddenly, he understood that, in reality, he wasn't in such a bad situation.
'They still don't know that I know about their presence here. I can turn this situation.' Sargan thought while looking at the giant door in front of him.

He soon began to walk towards the entrance.
As soon as he took the first step, he sensed these three warriors tremble a bit. It was as if they wanted to charge forwards and capture Sargan immediately.
However, the three endured this feeling and allowed Sargan to walk towards the entrance. In their minds, they were still unsure whether Sargan had found a way to open this entrance or not.
Since he was walking towards the entrance, there was a chance his method might work. If it did, they just had to capture him and force him to spill the beans.
Sargan soon touched the entrance door of the Underground Labyrinth.
As soon as he did, he revealed a smirk. It was a victorious smirk.
The warriors monitoring him immediately noticed that smirk. One of them guessed that it was directed at them.
He immediately sent a signal to his other two comrades through a Spiritual Stone and then launched himself at Sargan.
His comrades were slightly slower as they also launched towards Sargan.
Sargan could feel tyrannical energy over his body. He knew that these 5 Star Warriors were using their Ardor to suppress him.
At this time, his gravity training came to use. Even though Sargan's cultivation couldn't be compared to these warriors, his physique was much stronger.
That ten times gravity training had excavated a lot of potential of his Demon's Physique. At the least, he could remain standing for 10 seconds.
These three warriors charging towards Sargan immediately felt strange energy near him.
One of them immediately called out for his comrades, "Stop! Don't get near him. It's a trap!"
This was the very same person who had caught onto Sargan's smirk and felt it was directed at them.
Thus, he decided to capture Sargan immediately.
He had no idea, though, that Sargan was deliberately baiting them. His nerves must have been of ice since he could suppress his emotions while being aware of the situation.

Anyway, when his other two comrades hear of his warning, they immediately halted their momentum. Though, it was a pity. Even after the two halted their momentum and stopped at their spots, they were still in Sargan's range.
A second later, Sargan whispered, "Void Ring."
An illusionary ring of pure Spatial Laws appeared around Sargan.
Not only did Sargan disappear from his spot, but a ring of pure Spatial Laws sliced apart the two men who had entered the Void Ring.
Even though they were much stronger than Sargan, it didn't matter at all in front of this Void Ring.
It still sliced off their bodies by their waist. The cut was quite clean, and the two warriors' bodies couldn't pose up the slightest resistance to that attack.
"Gyaaaaah!"
"AAAAAH…"
The two let out ear-splitting screams with all their might. The pain they were experiencing was certainly more than anything they had experienced in their life.
The most they could do was use all their Ardor and force their upper body to get out of the Void Ring.
When they looked at their lower body's condition, a chill ran down their spine.
The area under the Void Ring had reduced by a long, and their Lower Body still within it was shredded to pieces due to the strong Spatial Attacks.
Not just them, but the third warrior who had stopped a bit earlier and seen this scene was quite frightened as well.
It was the first time he had seen such brutality by his own eyes. He resisted the urge to throw up as he looked around to find Sargan.
He soon let out a sigh as he understood that this man was on the other side of the door.
"Looks like we encountered a monster. I will report to the Governor and also request him to look for medicines to heal you. It was my negligence that hurt you. Forgive me," The man spoke with a hint of regret in his voice.
"Leader…" The two warriors couldn't help but try their best to hold back their tears.
Their leader was quite cold and would usually scold them greatly. It was the first time he had asked for forgiveness. Moreover, he genuinely appeared sad at their injuries.
Soon, the two fell down on the ground with a dazed look.
They were losing a lot of blood very quickly. Thus, their mind was slowly falling into a deep sleep.
Their leader soon picked up their bodies and took them to a famous medic in Vlashire City. That blood loss had to be stopped, or else they might very well lose their lives.
As the three warriors left the area, a man clad in a dark robe was soon visible in the underground tunnel.
This was Sargan. In reality, he couldn't enter the Underground Labyrinth without opening the gates.
Thus, he had decided to bait them into attacking him. There were three defensive arrays on the Gate that would activate through his Ardor and one illusionary array.
He used one of them to create the Void Ring and slice apart the bodies of two warriors.
At the same time, he also activated the illusionary array around himself to make them believe he had vanished into the Underground Labyrinth.
They had no idea he couldn't enter without opening the Gates. Thus, they were easily fooled.
The entrance gate to the Underground Labyrinth rumbled as it opened. Sargan didn't waste any time and leaped inside immediately.
Once he was inside, he closed the gate immediately. Moreover, he then pressed his palm over the inner side of the gate and activated a barrier around this Labyrinth. No one except the people chosen by him would be able to enter this barrier.
'Hopefully, there are resources inside that can sustain this barrier for a long time.'
