A Demon's Journey

Azaroth stood outside the tent where the meeting was taking place right now. He didn't enter the tent simply because he didn't want to meet those elders.

After a few minutes, Erica left the tent. She calmly stared at Azaroth and asked him, "What do you want with me?"

Azaroth remained silent for a few seconds. Erica realized he wanted to talk privately and glared at the disciples near them.

The disciples understood that the sect mistress wanted them to scram! They immediately ran in different directions and left them alone.

Azaroth then told Erica, "Let's talk while walking." After saying that, he turned his head in the opposite direction and began walking.

Erica quickly followed him and matched his pace. She remained silent since she knew Azaroth would talk once he felt like it.

The silence, however, was seemingly eating her alive. She was incredibly curious about why Azaroth summoned her alone.

He didn't have something evil in mind, right? Erica was quite a bit scared as this thought entered her mind.

She decreased her pace and began to lag behind Azaroth. Azaroth noticed this but didn't call her out. In his opinion, when this woman reached the location, she would realize why Azaroth had called her out.

He knew that she wouldn't believe him if he told her that a Demon Emperor from the chasm currently possessed 4 disciples of the Black Lake Sect.

In fact, Erica would find it troubling to believe that there was a Demon Emperor sealed within the chasm.

He had to show her that such a phenomenon was occurring at this moment. And if not stopped, they would have four individuals possessing the power of the Demon Emperor.

And if individuals possessing powers of the Demon Emperor were mixed within the other individuals, it would result in utter chaos.

The Demon Emperor's primary objective would be to free himself from whatever kept him trapped in the abyss or heal himself if he was hurt.

And he was in control of these people, working diligently to achieve his aim. He would have to severely destabilize the Glerian Kingdom's condition to fulfill his aim.

The items the Demon Emperor needed to cure or unseal himself were not going to be ordinary.

Azaroth had some guesses about the things that this Demon Emperor required. It would be a rare herb to heal him or an artifact that could break his seal. Azaroth possessed many rare herbs. All of them were acquired through traveling around the area and his deal with King Tryfon.

Azaroth couldn't have the Demon Emperor coming out of the seal when he didn't possess the power or ability to deal with him.

'At the very least, he shouldn't be allowed to look for those things personally,' Azaroth thought.

He had a strategy for dealing with the Demon Emperor, and he was about to carry out the first phase of that strategy.

"What is this energy?" Erica voiced out this question as a serious look appeared on her face. The spot where the Demon Emperor was taking over the consciousness of four Black Lake Sect followers was precisely where Azaroth was leading her. Erica had begun to sense the Demonic Energy filling in the air.

The Demon Emperor was quite skilled in controlling his Demonic Energy. The process of taking over someone's body would result in excessive Demonic Energy being used.

This was why the Demons wouldn't try to possess a human. The excessive Demonic Energy released would alert the nearby humans and prevent them from possessing a human.

However, this Demon Emperor had created a barrier around them to prevent any human from sensing this demonic energy. Erica only began to sense Demonic Energy after Azaroth guided her beyond this barrier.

The demonic energy was so dense that Erica felt her body tremble for a few seconds. She realized that this Demonic Energy probably belonged to a higher being. Someone even stronger than her. She concluded that it must be a demon at the Emperor's rank.

She then briefly stared at Azaroth and asked him with a look of disbelief, "Are you planning to have me fight against a Demon Emperor?! You should know that I am not strong enough to win or even survive against a Demon Emperor! You should have told me that it was a Demon Emperor. I would have ordered my disciples to leave this area as quickly as possible."

Erica continued to speak, and Azaroth felt that she was going crazy. He let out a sigh and spoke with a strong voice, "Calm down!"

These words were spoken while Azaroth released a dense aura. Azaroth knew this calmness was only temporary, so he continued to speak, "You are not going to battle against a Demon Emperor. If it was a healthy demon emperor, you would have been dead. A Demon Emperor had been sealed within the chasm. It is currently taking over the bodies of your disciples stationed near that chasm."

"We are going over to prevent that from occurring. If that Demon Emperor successfully takes over the body of those disciples, the result would be catastrophic!"

Azaroth's words now clarified the situation to Erica. She finally began to think about the situation rationally.

The Great Kun within her was relieved as well. It was also caught off guard after sensing the presence of the Demon Emperor. It was so surprising that it left him speechless.

Azaroth and Erica followed the Demonic Energy and reached its source soon enough. They saw four disciples levitating in air with a dark energy surrounding their bodies in that location.

This dark energy was the demonic energy of that Demon Emperor. Azaroth used his Mystic Eyes of Perception to stare at that Demonic Energy.

There was a pinkish-colored power mixed with the Demonic Energy. And this allowed Azaroth to finally understand the abilities of this Demon Emperor.

This Demon Emperor's ability was related to stealing the Yin Energy of the women. And a Demon would usually steal the Yin Energy of a woman through sexual activities.

In a sense, this was a sex demon who had raped multiple women and had reached this rank. It was rare for this kind of demon to survive in Purgatory for very long. This was because they were merely paper tigers.

Their combat ability was considered very weak. However, Azaroth felt that the one before him wasn't an ordinary sex demon. It knew how to create a barrier and had even managed to send its energy out of the chasm.

However, Azaroth was now sure of what this demon was planning after successfully possessing these disciples.

It was going to force them to rape as many women as possible in order to reclaim his vitality.

At this moment, Erica suddenly launched Crescent Sea Slash towards the source of the Demonic Energy. This Crescent Sea Slash was filled with energy belonging to Erica and the Great Kun. This attack was just slightly above the ground and cut apart the source of the demonic energy.

The disciples of the Black Lake Sect suddenly fell on the ground after the Demonic Energy surrounding them dispersed.

Erica was relieved to see that her disciples were fine. Her eyes widened in disbelief as the Demonic Energy got out of the chasm, and this time, it was targeting her and not her disciples!

Azaroth's eyes widened slightly. Since this demon was targeting Erica, it wasn't just a simple sex demon.. He realized it was most probably a Sex Demon that cultivated the Yin Devouring Demonic Technique.
