A Demon's Journey

Sargan and Tiana had returned from their mission. They wanted to inform Azaroth about it but found out he wasn't in the town.

The two knew that since Azaroth wasn't present in the town, they had to report to Noah.

Sargan went to a building within the center of Kloras Town. This was a building Azaroth had specifically asked the workers to construct since it was going to be the office.

When Sargan saw Noah seated behind the desk with that nervous look, he resisted the urge to laugh.

Noah gave him enormous pressure when it came to combat but currently, his expression gave him a sense of relief.

This was a small realization but it relaxed him greatly. Until now, Sargan had only seen Noah when he fought.

He'd always been under a lot of pressure, but after seeing Noah's troubled expression today, he felt like the burden had finally lifted.

"Hey, Noah. You don't look too well. You did eat your lunch, right?" Sargan jokingly asked Noah.

Noah heard Sargan's words and actually thought deeply about his question. Suddenly, his expression turned pale as he spoke, "Oh no, I missed it. I was too busy reading these reports sent by the farmers over the harvesting of the crops that I forgot about eating the lunch."

A sweatdrop appeared on the back of Sargan's head. He was just guessing randomly. He hadn't expected his guess to be true. Once Tiana heard that Noah had forgotten to eat his lunch, she immediately spoke, "I will ask Yrellea to bring some food for you, Noah."

Noah's eyes brightened up and he spoke, "Thank you, elder sister Tiana."

After Tiana went away, Sargan's expression turned serious, "Anyway, where is boss right now. I didn't think he would leave the town at such a moment."

"Boss said that he had an urgent matter he had to attend. According to his estimation, he should have returned today," Noah responded seriously.

Sargan nodded his head, "I see…"

After some minutes, Sargan sensed a great amount of Demonic Energy in the area.

"Do you sense it?" Sargan asked Noah with a grave look.

Noah responded with a puzzled look, "Sense what?"

Sargan whispered, "…Nothing."

Suddenly, after a few minutes, there was another burst of Demonic Ardor. This time, Sargan was ready and managed to sense the precise location of this Demonic Ardor.

Sargan looked at Noah and spoke seriously, "Come with me. We need to investigate something."

"Is it so serious?" Noah asked.

"Yes, there could be another demon in the area. You don't want a demon to harm Kloras Town, right? Boss wouldn't be happy if that happened." Sargan informed Noah.

Noah was instantly ready. He stood up and looked at Sargan and ordered him, "Lead me to that demon."

"Hmm. Don't just attack him suddenly. We need to first observe the demon and figure out his motive." Sargan spoke with a grave look.

Soon, Sargan and Noah left the building and were moving towards the area from where they sensed that demonic ardor. They realized that they were actually moving towards Azaroth's training ground.

Noah and Sargan were quite puzzled whether they should enter Azaroth's training ground or not.

While they were confused about whether they should enter Azaroth's training ground, they sensed another burst of Demonic Ardor.

This time, because of the close range, even Noah sensed it.

Noah refused to think anymore and charged within Azaroth's training ground. Sargan called out for Noah and asked him to wait but Noah refused to listen to him.

He went straight towards Azaroth's position.

Both Sargan and Noah soon reached Azaroth's position. They saw Azaroth seated on the ground in a cross-legged posture.

The person whose presence shocked Sargan and Noah was the individual seated right ahead of Azaroth.

A sculpted, energetic face was nearly completely hidden by blonde, short hair. Glistening red eyes, set closely inside their sockets, gave off a menacing vibe.

His flawless complexion complemented his eyes and hair beautifully and left a lasting impression. His muscles were fully developed, and he seemed to be the same height as Azaroth.

When Sargan looked at him, he felt compelled to prostrate himself in front of that guy. It was a strange feeling and it was something he had felt for the first time in his life.

He did his best to resist this feeling and walked closer to the two.

Noah spoke out at this moment, "Master, I had no idea you returned already."

However, instead of Azaroth, the other individual spoke out, "I was in a hurry to create this body."

Both Noah and Sargan were shocked to hear him say that.

Azaroth (Edwin's Body) had anticipated their shock and spoke out, "Don't be so shocked. It's still me."

Noah and Sargan were still slightly suspicious.

At around this time, Azaroth (Main body) turned towards them and spoke, "I am the one who possesses the majority of the spiritual energy so this is going to be my main body from now on."

"Sargan, go and gather others," Azaroth spoke using his main body.

Sargan turned around and went to gather everyone else.

Meanwhile, Noah was gazing at Azaroth's main body with an intense gaze. Azaroth spoke out with a gentle tone, "Are you still not satisfied even after observing my spirit for so long?"

Noah blushed a little as he realized he was caught red-handed.

"…I was just trying to be sure, Boss. If something had indeed happened to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." Noah responded with a slightly saddened look.

Azaroth nodded his head with affirmation, "I am pleased with your response. Make sure to be cautious of everything. Many times, things are not how they appear to be."

"Got it, Master," Noah responded quickly.

Azaroth then waited for his other retainers to arrive and inform them of this information as well. He knew that just like Noah and Sargan, they were bound to be suspicious of his identity as well but other than a few days of awkwardness, it wouldn't be anything serious.

Thus, Azaroth wasn't too worried.

As Sargan gathered all of Azaroth's retainers except for Noah, he began to lead them towards Azaroth's training ground.

He had informed them the gist of what he knew. They were all completely flabbergasted by this information.

Especially Yrellea. She never thought Azaroth would create another body for himself. And it would actually have a different appearance than the one she was familiar with.

Soon enough, all of them gathered in Azaroth's training ground.

Yrellea was overwhelmed by an unfamiliar aura as soon as she looked at Azaroth's new body.

Azaroth's short-sleeved leather jacket was barely buttoned up at the upper left side and covered him above his knees. His jacket's sleeves were long and broad, reaching well past his wrists, and they were finished with a single thread lining at the sleeve ends.

The jacket had a deep, round neckline that exposed a portion of the elegant shirt underneath it, and it was fastened with a tiny fabric band kept together by a beautiful pin. The fabric band was purely ornamental and served as a status signal.

As she stared at Azaroth's face, her succubus instincts aroused her body.. That amazing athletic physique and that exquisite pretty face were deeply rooted within her mind.
