Azaroth's voice made the Spirit Demon afraid for his life. He slowly began to mutter, "Black Hurricane is our master…He is the fourth prince of this Kingdom."

"A Prince of the Glerian Kingdom?" Azaroth's eyes slightly widened at that possibility.

​​

"Yes. However, no one in this Kingdom knows that the true fourth prince of this Kingdom has already died. It's my master who lives in the fourth prince's body now." The Spirit Demon spoke.

Azaroth asked while staring at that Spirit Demon, "What is his rank?"

"Before taking over that human's body, my master was a Demon King. Right now, in that human's body, Black Hurricane is at Demon Lord Rank," The Spirit Demon muttered out.

Azaroth frowned upon hearing those words and thought 'A Demon King took over a human's body and willingly lowered his cultivation? Strange.'

He asked the Spirit Demon, "Was he injured? Why would he switch bodies with the power he possessed?"

The Spirit Demon made every effort to keep silent, but it was futile. "I don't know the specific reason, but I assume that master took such a big risk because he wants to get something that the Monarch of the Glerian Kingdom has," he said quickly.

'Something in the hands of the King? What could it be? Does he want control over this Kingdom? No… He could have accomplished this through other unconventional methods.'

Soon, Azaroth's eyes widened slightly as he thought 'This Glerian Kingdom might possess another secret that prevents him from using those methods.'

"Does your master still use Demonic Ardor?" Azaroth asked.

The Spirit Demon replied after a few seconds, "…No. He released all his Demonic Ardor and purified it with the assistance of a Holy Artifact to convert it into the Humanely Ardor. He is completely human in terms of physique and power. Only his spirit remains the same."

Azaroth immediately began to think 'For him to turn himself into a pure human. It seems that the thing he wants is very precious. Or atleast to him.'

'But if this thing is so precious, why hasn't the King used it already? Is it a Weapon? A cultivation technique? Some sort of Artifact? Or something else entirely?'

Azaroth was sure that this wasn't some sort of consumable thing like a pellet. The King would have definitely utilized it already.

"What about these humans you are sending to Amville City?" Azaroth asked his next question.

"My master wants followers who would follow his order without any hesitation. As for precisely what he wants them to do, I have no idea." The Spirit Demon replied with a bitter smile.

Azaroth had expected this response, actually. He also wouldn't tell his subordinates about his plans.

"How many such demon nests does your master have in this Kingdom?" Azaroth asked his final question.

"10 including the Demon Nest in this city. We all have the same task. To create a secret cult for our master. Train the humans and then send them to master's side." The Spirit Demon replied.

Azaroth nodded his head. He then looked into the eyes of all these demons and spoke seriously, "Forget about this interaction and do what you were planning to do."

Azaroth wasn't planning to get in the way of this Demon.

In reality, this could be very convenient for Azaroth.

Right now, Azaroth was in the dark while this Demon was in the light. As long as Azaroth controlled the situation carefully, he could gain maximum advantage from it.

The Spirit Demon and the other demons soon forgot their conversation with Azaroth.

Azaroth filled their memory with walking towards their destination. If someone reads their memory, they won't find anything suspicious.

'It seems that I need to change my plans. Edwin must not create a civil war in the Sinyalian Kingdom while here, another Demon King is present who can become a variable in my plans.'

'Time to go to the Origin Sect Branch.'

Azaroth dashed towards the Origin Sect Branch.

Currently, Laura and Noah were in that location. The Origin Sect Branch Leader Patrick had already submitted to Azaroth.

He had also talked to a few of his comrades secretly about working under Azaroth.

Out of the seven leaders, only 2 others agreed. The rest were immediately attacked by Patrick, Noah, and Laura.

Noah prevented those warriors from running away. Meanwhile, Laura had created a wooden barrier to prevent anyone else from witnessing it or hearing the screams of these men.

By the time Azaroth arrived, the Origin Sect Branch had been cleaned of any spies by Patrick, Noah, and Laura.

Well, at least the spies in the top chain.

There were hardly any spies among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Outer Sect Disciples.

The Inner Sect disciples were surprised to hear that the outer disciples had lost to some random group.

In fact, many of them were quite disdainful as they heard this information and bullied the Outer Sect Disciples using this pretext.

The Outer Sect Disciples didn't resist because they believed that they had lost the face of the Origin Sect by losing to a random group like that.

Especially those warriors who couldn't deal with Laura's group in close combat. Azaroth was flying in the sky as he went towards Laura and Noah's spot.

Currently, Noah and Laura were waiting for Azaroth in the Origin Sect's Hall. Only two other elders were seated in that Hall.

They were quite nervous as Noah had informed them that his master was arriving soon enough.

Not just those elders but even Patrick was slightly nervous. He wondered just what sort of figure Noah's master was.

From that Holographic Figure, he had gauged that the man was young but very determined and confident.

There wasn't a hint of naiveness on his face.

Soon, Azaroth crashed into the rooftop of the Hall and entered by piercing that roof.

He wasn't injured because his Physique was just that strong.

Patrick and the other elders of this Origin Sect Branch were startled to see Azaroth entering the Hall in such a manner.

Noah and Laura immediately went on their knees as they saw Azaroth, "We greet boss/ master."

Azaroth ignored the greetings of the two and focused on Patrick. More precisely, he was observing Patrick's emotions.

Currently, Patrick's emotions indicated that he was scared, nervous, and hopeful.

This relieved Azaroth. Since Patrick was scared of Azaroth, he wouldn't easily betray him. And since he was nervous and hopeful, he did have ambition present in his heart.

"It was wise of you to join hands with me. Now, I will fulfill my first agreement with you. To awaken your bloodline completely." Azaroth spoke with a calm tone.

Patrick was immediately excited as he heard Azaroth.

"Really?!"

Azaroth nodded, "Hmm." He then turned his gaze to the other elders in the room, "Let's go to your personal training ground. You can't be disturbed during the process of awakening your bloodline."

"Yes, yes. Follow me." Patrick spoke as he immediately stood up and proceeded to move out of the Hall.

Azaroth, the other elders, Noah, and Laura, followed him.

While they were walking, Noah informed Azaroth, "Master, we killed all the elders who opposed us."

Azaroth stared at Noah and soon replied, "I know. I don't blame you."

Noah was relieved. He was a bit worried about this issue.
