A Demon's Journey

Esther hadn't guessed wrongly. It was just that the Saber Emperor had used his Saber Intent to help conceal Bryon's body.

The battle between the Saber Emperor and the three Archangels continued. The Saber Emperor didn't show a bit of weakness as he utilized his Saber Domain.

The Saber Emperor's intent domain was actually much superior when compared to the Luminous Domains released by the Archangels. It greatly displayed his talent!

Without any resources or adequate guidance, the Saber Emperor rose to such a high level that he was able to suppress the intents of the great Archangels who had received the Radiant God's advice and guidance at every stage of their journey.

Maybe that's why the Saber Emperor's intent won out. It was because they hadn't established their own path and were following someone else's! Meanwhile, the Saber Emperor had carved out his path from scratch exclusively for himself.

Even though the Archangels lost out when comparing their Intent Domains, Esther's God-Ranked Weapon balanced the scales. In fact, the Judgement Trident made their side a bit superior.

Esther was a bit worried because if Bryon intervened at this moment, the Archangels would be in grave danger!

The teamwork of these Archangels wasn't very impressive. Especially the Archangel who possessed the Twin Divine Daggers. She kept getting in Esther's way and prevented her from launching an attack that could truly harm the Saber Emperor.

As the battle continued, Esther suddenly sensed a terrifying aura. She didn't even need to turn in that direction to know who it was.

She remembered this terrifying aura and attack rather vividly. Gritting her teeth, Esther shouted, "Mira, hold up that Saber Emperor. I will deal with this attack!"

Twin Daggers belonged to Archangel Mira. She had been controlling up until now and had not crossed the gap between herself and the Saber Emperor. This was all due to Esther's instructions!

Mira had become absurdly strong and quick after acquiring Twin Daggers. She was quite skilled in using them as well. However, there was still a massive gap between her skill and the Saber Emperor's.

Esther didn't want Mira to fight the Saber Emperor in close combat since she knew that Mira would lose.

However, it is a rather grave situation right now. They had to block that terrifying arrow and also prevent the Saber Emperor from killing one of them.

Mira could hold off the Saber Emperor for a couple of seconds while Esther dealt with that terrifying arrow.

Mira charged toward the Saber Emperor while Esther turned around and threw her Judgement Trident.

Bryon released the bowstring at the same moment, and an arrow enveloped in an orange aura flew towards Esther.

​ The arrow soon collided with the Judgement Trident, and a massive explosion occurred. Esther guessed that Bryon was going to use this explosion as cover and charge toward her.

However, Esther's powers couldn't be considered very impressive without the Judgment Trident.

"Luminous Flare!" She used this technique to suddenly flash a bright light that would blind everyone in the area.

The Saber Emperor and the Bryon were caught up as their world turned dark instantly. They shut their eyes and waited for them to return to normal.

However, Bryon had committed a blunder. He unknowingly disabled his stealth state, and his body was visible.

Esther didn't waste any time and bombarded his body with multiple waves of Radiant Energy. Multiple explosions occurred as those waves of energy struck Bryon's body.

Bryon's body was soon riddled with injuries, and he fell to the ground shortly enough.

Fortunately, he controlled his flying speed and ensured that he landed gently on the ground. Or else, his body would have suffered additional injuries from the fall.

In the meantime, the Saber Emperor intensified the Saber Domain around himself as he was temporarily blinded. Not even Mira dared to approach that intense Saber Domain at this moment.

She remained just outside of the Saber Domain's reach and was waiting for it to get weaker. But a few seconds later, the Saber Emperor recovered his vision. He glanced at the ground and frowned as he observed Bryon's injured body!

Bryon had suffered very grave injuries from those waves of Radiant Energy. He had to receive treatment quickly!

The Saber Emperor charged toward Bryon with a quick burst of speed!

In the meantime, Esther launched additional waves of Radiant Energy at Bryon's injured body while rushing towards her Judgement Trident.

Her Judgement Trident had naturally emerged victorious in that clash against Bryon's super powerful arrow.

The Saber Emperor quickly reached Bryon's body and shielded him from those waves of the Radiant Energy.

He immediately pulled out a small glass bottle that had three pellets inside it. These three pellets were of pure white color, and they radiated a very thick medicinal aura once they were out of that glass bottle.

The Saber Emperor fed that pellet to Bryon and waited for him to chew it properly. Bryon's injuries began healing rapidly!

Even though this pellet couldn't completely heal all of Bryon's injuries, it could still put him back into fighting shape.

And this was the top priority at this moment. If Bryon didn't recover quickly, they would both die in this battle against the Archangels.

Bryon slowly stood up while staring at the Saber Emperor, "Thank you for helping me. Now, please go! I will be fine now."

Bryon activated the Shadow Dagger's stealth skill and disappeared instantly. Meanwhile, the Saber Emperor glanced at Mira, who was charging toward him.

He took a rather strange posture and unleashed a flurry of swings in Mira's direction. His Saber couldn't reach Mira's body. However, an invisible wave of energy was released that scratched Mira's right arm for some reason.

There wasn't just a single wave of this energy. There were nearly hundreds of such energy streams. These were Saber Intent Streams!

This was basically a Saber Intent used through a technique. It greatly extended the range of a technique!

Moreover, the attack's power didn't diminish due to the large distance. It remained uniform throughout.

Lastly, it was invisible, so the enemy couldn't guard against it. Only if someone was very sensitive to intents could he detect those invisible waves of energies and stop this attack!

By this time, Esther had retrieved the Judgement Trident. She observed that the Saber Emperor was completely vulnerable.

Without wasting any more seconds, she launched the Red Beam of pure destruction in the Saber Emperor's direction.

The Radiant God had informed her that there was no point in saving up that red beam of destruction any longer. He told her it was impossible to kill Azaroth with this.

She should rather use this red beam of destruction against one of those humans. Especially that Saber Emperor!

The Saber Emperor had been a thorn in the Radiant God's side for quite some time. And it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of him!

However, Esther was utterly shocked as she sensed killing intent. She immediately flew out of the way and barely dodged Bryon's blade!

Because of Bryon, she was forced to stop that Red Beam of Destruction. The Saber Emperor noticed that beam of pure Destruction Laws heading towards him and moved out of the way.

Fortunately, Esther could no longer control that beam because of Bryon's surprise attack, or else it wouldn't have been so simple for the Saber Emperor to evade that attack!
