《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

"You can go along with your original plan. If the Master of this Labyrinth returns, I will handle him." Azaroth informed Sargan.
Sargan was absolutely relieved to hear this. Even though he had no idea how Azaroth would handle the Master of this Labyrinth, he trusted Azaroth enough to believe that he could indeed accomplish it.
"This Dark Hearted Eye Flower King would be ideal for recovering the Blood Essence you lost when you offered it to me. If you refine it according to the method I describe, it will not only help you restore your lost Blood Essence but would also help to strengthen your Eye Prowess. Perhaps you might even unlock another ability of your Evil Eye." Azaroth spoke seriously.
Those words excited Sargan as he thought 'Another ability?! Wouldn't that put me on par with the Patriarch of the Bach Clan?! Only he has unlocked 3 abilities of the Evil Eye till now! And that's all because his cultivation has reached the Demon Emperor realm. By the time I reach Demon Emperor Realm, I might unlock 4 or even 5 abilities of Evil Eye!'
"What do I need to do?" Sargan asked excitedly.
Azaroth stared at him for a few seconds and replied, "…Pluck all its petals. However, make sure to not use your Ardor while plucking its petals. If you use Ardor to pluck its petals, the flower will counterattack. It will use the Yin Energy in the surrounding to lay waste to your body."
"Once you have gathered the petals, place them in water and then drip your blood in that container. After half a day, eat the petals." Azaroth finished speaking.
Sargan was a little shocked. He asked with a confused look, "That's all I need to do?"
"That's all," Azaroth confirmed while nodding his head.
After a few seconds, he added, "Sometimes the simplest methods generate the greatest results. That's how mysterious nature is."

Sargan accepted that explanation. Well, he had no other choice than to accept it.
Actually, Azaroth wasn't just speaking philosophically about this. He did know and understand the concept behind this.
Once the Dark Hearted Eye Flower King made contact with Blood, the energy within it would be stimulated.
Sargan's Evil Eyes Ability was a Bloodline from a Demon Emperor. It was going to stimulate that Dark Hearted Evil Flower King to its full potential.
It was said that once the Dark Hearted Evil Flower King was made to reach its full potential, it would grant Eye Abilities to those who ingested it.
The Eye Abilities it would grant differed from user to user.
However, Sargan's Evil Eyes were different. Those eyes already possessed a great number of sealed abilities and currently couldn't be utilized by him.
This Dark Hearted Evil Flower King possessed the ability to unseal one of them.
Naturally, Sargan could only use this flower once in his life. And that time had come.
Sargan followed Azaroth's instructions carefully. He brought the petals of the Dark Hearted Evil Flower King out of the Herbal Section and then placed it in a bowl, filling it with water before mixing his blood in it. He then gently placed the Dark Hearted Evil Flower King's Petals in it.
As those twelve petals soaked in the water mixed with Sargan's Blood, they began to radiate dark light.
Sargan understood that the process had begun. He had to wait until the aura around these petals was practically blinking. That would be its saturation point.
Just as Azaroth had spoken, it took nearly half a day for these petals to reach their saturation point.
Sargan pulled out those petals and ingested them all at once. During all this time, he made sure to not use Ardor at all.
Azaroth told him that the petals were dangerous even after they were plucked. If Sargan was not careful and used the slightest amount of Ardor, a Spiritual Eye would appear on the Petal's surface. It would immediately use the Yin Ardor in the surroundings to attack Sargan.

This was one of the reasons why they were called Dark Hearted Evil Flower King.
The Dark Hearted Evil Flower wasn't that dangerous, so its Spiritual Eye was practically ignored. But the same couldn't be spoken about the Dark Hearted Evil Flower King!
At least, Sargan would die without any chance of resisting.
After ingesting the petals, Sargan closed his eyes.
Dozens of seconds later, Sargan felt his body shaking. The Yin Ardor flowing in his body. However, it wasn't trying to harm his body. No…It was moving towards his energy center!
Sargan immediately began to utilize the Nether Devil God Mantra to absorb this Yin Ardor. This Yin Ardor was practically what he required to cultivate the Nether Devil God Mantra.
While he broke through to the next stage of the Nether Devil God Mantra. It was now the second stage of the Nether Devil God Mantra.
This stage allowed him to finally infuse his Nether Energy within his Element. His Lightning Element. This had already boosted his combat ability greatly.
However, this was merely the first of the many advantages of this.
His cultivation speed had increased, his spirit was stronger, and the regeneration of his body and spirit had been boosted considerably.
Sargan felt his mid-ranked 3 Star Rank cultivation advance.
Before he could realize it, his Ardor broke through to the 4 Star Rank. In fact, his cultivation still continued to grow even after breaking through to the 4 Star Rank.
This increase in cultivation only halted when Sargan reached the peak of the mid-stage of the 4 Star Rank.
Sargan had no idea that his cultivation had increased to such a considerable degree. He had lost his mind due to pain after all.
The pain he felt was as if someone was stabbing his eyes with knives or needles. He let out loud screams and even groans as he felt the pain getting worse.
His eyes were bleeding heavily!
However, Sargan didn't know that internally, his eyes were changing. The thin black ring now covered his red-colored pupil.
If the Bach Clan had seen it, they would have definitely made their move to make Sargan as their young clan head or stolen his eyes.
However, stealing his eyes would do more harm than good. Sargan's eyes would only be compatible with his own body and spirit. Even if anyone else possessed his eyes, they would never be able to use them to their full potential.
This was also one of the reasons why individuals never bothered to steal the eyes of those possessing eye abilities.
They wouldn't be compatible! And it would do more harm than good, like using a lot of Ardor for something insignificant.
There were also cases where it would lead to abnormality. The person wouldn't be able to see properly and so on…
It took another half a day for Sargan to wake up. When he did wake up, the first thing he noticed was his cultivation base.
It had increased tremendously. Sargan realized he was a 4 Star Rank Expert.
The next thing he realized was that his Nether Devil God Mantra had broken through to the second stage.
He combined his Nether Ardor with his Lightning Element. His Lightning was pure dark in color.
And lastly, he remembered Azaroth's words. There was a chance he could have awakened another ability.
As Sargan sent Ardor in his eyes, he realized he could truly use three abilities now.

Nate has always felt like he’s had wary eyes watching him, waiting for him to slip up. So far, he’s managed to just barely keep his head down, but when his powers force him to step into the spotlight, he finds himself caught up in the one life he never wanted; heroism.

Soon they're involved in something larger and more dangerous than they ever wanted. What happens next, you'll find out when you read. This is the first story I'm publishing here on RoyalRoad. I wanted to try this site out since it's more geared towards fantasy. I've been at Wattpad for about 2 years under the same name, but since I'm not writing romance I haven't gotten much steam there. This is my latest story, and it's also published on Wattpad in the book called Short Stories. I wanted to start with something new and unfinished here. I'll try and update at least once every other week, sometimes more often. ~RiisingNovels
