A Demon's Journey

The Night Mountain Sect's barrier was on its last legs. The barrier had to be dropped for some time so that the disciples could swap the energy stones. Thus, the Night Mountain Sect planned to send out its disciples and some elders to block the Black Lake Sect from destroying their walls.

Nearly all disciples who were going to charge out of the sect were ready at their respective gates. The gates to the east and west side opened up. All disciples and elders launched their respective attacks at the Black Lake Sect's members.

The barrier surrounding the entire Night Mountain Sect suddenly vanished, allowing the attacks to collide with each other in mid-air. Numerous small explosions occurred and blinded all warriors on this battlefield.

Dylan Ross and Camille had also charged out of the gates along with the Night Mountain Sect's disciples and elders.

Dylan Ross stopped holding back his aura and unleashed it in full force. It was so strong that it could even restrain a 4 Star Warrior's Aura. It had to be known that Dylan was merely a 3 Star Warrior. It was quite an impressive feat for a 3 Star Warrior to suppress the aura of a warrior with a superior rank to his own.

When Azaroth sensed that aura, he couldn't help but gaze in that direction. Dylan's aura was easy to sense because only his aura possessed the traits of Ice and Flame Ardor.

Azaroth didn't approach Dylan immediately. He wanted to check out his combat talent.

Fortunately, Azaroth didn't need to wait for long. Dylan was a close-combat fighter and had immediately charged at the large group of warriors of the Black Lake Sect.

He held a sword in each hand and charged towards his enemies. The sword in his right hand was glowing with crimson color, while the sword in his left hand was glowing with a sapphire color.

He swiped both his arms and slashed the enemies in front of him. His speed was so quick that the enemies before him couldn't react in time as his swords sliced their bodies.

Those who instinctively utilized Earth Ardor to bolster their body's defenses then realized that it was useless to try and block those attacks. The Flame Ardor and the Ice Ardor in those swords were dense enough to break past their defenses easily.

Meanwhile, Camille remained behind as she was a long-ranged fighter. She wasn't like Dylan, who could suppress a 4 Star Warrior with his aura. Camille was a standard 3 Star Warrior.

If she charged forward like Dylan, she would be injured or, even worse, captured by the enemy. She wasn't willing to put her life at risk like that.

She released some attacks of pure Ardor. She wasn't yet too proficient in controlling Water Ardor. Unlike her cousins, her combat skills were quite weak.

After a few hours, Dylan Ross seemingly grew a pair of wings on his back out of nowhere and began to fly. These pair of wings seemed to possess an unreal power that made the warriors around him want to kneel down and pay their respects to Dylan.

Nearly all warriors were shocked to see Dylan flying like that. And the warriors of the Night Mountain Sect, including Camille, were even more shocked to see Dylan Ross flying away from the battlefield!

Camille had no idea that Dylan possessed those wings and could even fly. She wondered just how much he was hiding from her.

Around this moment, the energy stones for the barrier were finally swapped. The Night Mountain Sect's elders gave a signal to retreat. All the disciples and elders tried to push their opponents away and return to their keep.

Before Camille could say anything, she was captured by some disciples and brought back to the Night Mountain Sect. They planned to interrogate her and make her spit why the two had come here.

Dylan had never thought about what would happen to Camille after he was gone. He was far too absorbed in his own little world to think about the consequences of his action.

Moreover, it was the Angel who was more excited than him. She wanted to release a faint bit of the Demonic Ardor of the Demon Emperor sealed near this location.

Azaroth had already disappeared from his spot as he followed Dylan. He didn't need to fly to follow Dylan.

He was running on the ground, following Dylan closely. He wanted to see what Dylan was going to do and catch him red-handed.

After a few minutes, Dylan reached the spot. The moat was so deep that gazing into it revealed nothing but darkness.

"What are we doing here?" Dylan asked the Angel within him. He was still not told anything much about why he was here. The Angel just told him that she was taking him to a place where he could increase his strength.

Meanwhile, the Angel furrowed her brows as she found out that no bits of Demonic Energy were leaking out of this chasm. The Demon Emperor shouldn't be so weak that he couldn't even release his energy out of this moat. That would be beyond disappointing.

She controlled the wings on Dylan's back and tried to enter the chasm. The Holy Seal was strong enough to restrain the Demon Emperor.

However, as she entered the Abyss, the Angel sensed faint spiritual energy around her. Moreover, there was a lot of Demonic Energy around her now.

"What's going on? How come so much Demonic Energy has been gathered around here? We haven't even gone that deep yet. And why couldn't I sense this Demonic Ardor when Dylan stood on the cliff?"

Her eyes widened in shock as she realized that there was a barrier that prevented the Demonic Energy from leaking out of this Abyss.

Dylan's body began to glow with Holy Ardor. The Demonic Ardor was immediately purged as it approached his body. And he asked, "What is going on?"

"We need to leave immediately!" The Angel spoke with a sense of urgency in her tone.

"What happened, though?" Dylan asked as he floated above. He wanted to know just what had worried the Angel so greatly.

"Someone had set up a barrier to restrain the Demonic Energy. When we passed that barrier earlier, it sent a signal to that warrior that someone had breached his barrier. He must be on his way to his barrier," spoke the Angel with a worried tone.

Since she couldn't even sense or recognize this barrier, it meant that the owner of this barrier possessed a deep and great knowledge regarding the arrays.

When Dylan got out of the Abyss, he saw a handsome man standing on the cliff. There was a gentle smile on his face as he gazed at Dylan.

The Angel was terrified when she gazed at Azaroth. She could sense an incredibly Holy presence from his body. Moreover, Azaroth was releasing an intense intimidating aura that terrified Dylan.

"So, you are the one who breached my barrier and tried to approach that Demon?" Azaroth spoke with a cold tone. This time, the Angel with Dylan was terrified as she heard Azaroth's words.

She felt as though Azaroth was talking directly to her.. Those ruby eyes were glaring her in the face, enquiring about her felony.
