A Demon's Journey

The appearance of the Saber Emperor startled most of the individuals present at the banquet. His title was very familiar to them, and they held him in high regard.

He belonged to an extremely ordinary background and possessed nothing but a strong obsession with Saber! It was this obsession that led him to form countless enemies. But the Saber Emperor eventually walked over the corpses of his enemies while reaching an extremely high rank.

After reaching the 5 Star Rank, the Saber Emperor had actually settled down and married his childhood sweetheart. The entire village considered them a perfect match for each other.

However, everything changed one day as two Angels arrived and captured his wife. It seemed as though the Saber Emperor's wife possessed the legendary Luminous Physique that was very useful for the Radiant Church.

Her pure body could innately produce a very high rank in the Radiant Laws. This was extremely useful to the Radiant God, and he had personally ordered his subordinates to capture her.

The Saber Emperor resisted those Angels with all his might, but he was merely a 5 Star Warrior. The battle lasted hardly a second before he was thrown down a cliff.

The Saber Emperor knew he would die once his body contacted the ground. His Ardor had been sealed, and it was impossible for him to fly at this point.

But he wasn't satisfied with his destiny! He was enraged, and all he wanted was to murder the Archangels who had kidnapped his wife.

However, he knew that saving his wife was impossible if he died now. Thus, this Saber Emperor actually comprehended the Saber Laws in that free-fall state!

The Saber Emperor fell into a profound meditation state, and although just a few seconds had passed, it felt like an eternity.

It was the moment the Saber Emperor had managed to comprehend the Saber Domain! His dense Saber Qi allowed him to float in the air without using any Ardor!

He trained as diligently as he could to save his wife and make those Archangels suffer for abducting her.

His deep insight into the Saber Laws and strong obsession with strength allowed him to reach the King Rank within a year.

After reaching the King Rank, he infiltrated the Lamhilhan Theocracy and began hunting the priests and the pope of the Radiant Church.

Soon enough, he found out that his wife had already been sacrificed by the Radiant Church.

That night, the Saber Emperor lost all his restraint. He released his intense emotions on the beasts in a nearby forest. And on that same night, he took an oath to make the entire Radiant Church pay!

He trained with an even stronger obsession with strength and death. It was to such an extent that his Saber Intent transformed into Slaughter Saber Intent! His killing intent became intense as he killed more beasts, and his hatred deepened every time he thought about those Angels and Archangels.

He was angry at his powerless self, who couldn't stop those Angels from taking away his dear wife! Ten years passed by in the blink of an eye, and he finally reached Emperor Rank.

After becoming the Saber Emperor, the first thing he did was attack the Radiant Church. It was the first time in the Radiant Church's history that someone was launching a frontal assault against it. Moreover, when the attacker was a single individual!

The Saber Emperor lost that battle, but not before killing two Archangels of the Radiant Church. This attack had completely destroyed the Radiant Church's prestige and boosted the Saber Emperor's fame.

People became curious about the Saber Emperor's backstory and researched him deeply. After finding all the facts about him, people greatly supported him.

The Saber Emperor soon disappeared as he left the Lamhilhan Theocracy. It seemed as though he was more focused on finding women who possessed a physique similar to his wife and safeguarding their lives!

He hated these Celestials more than anything in the world and didn't plan on allowing them to succeed.

The Saber Emperor soon understood why the Radiant God wanted his wife's sacrifice. It seemed as though his wife's physique possessed an Origin Energy that was very important for the Radiant God.

The Radiant God required Origin Energy since it contained the purest form of the Radiant Laws. In fact, it greatly boosted the Radiant God's comprehension of the Radiant Laws and allowed him to recover his energy much faster.

There were many other uses of this Radiant Origin Energy, but the Saber Emperor didn't know them yet.

Thus, he began to gather other women with a physique similar to his wife and trained them. He was startled to see their quick cultivation speed.

He was sure that it would take them only 50 years to reach Emperor Rank. They managed to innately understand the Radiant Laws, so the bottleneck between the ranks wasn't going to be a big issue for them.

At this moment, these women were still in seclusion. They were going to reach the Emperor Rank if they kept training for the next five years.

Since these women weren't yet Emperor Rank Experts, the Saber Emperor didn't bring them to fight these Archangels. He had gathered seven women who held similar physiques to his wife.

If all these seven women had reached Emperor Rank, defeating the Radiant Church's forces would have been very easy!

Unfortunately, the situation wasn't so convenient for the Glerian Kingdom. Still, knowing that the great Saber Emperor had joined their side lifted the mood of everyone in the banquet.

All the sect masters decided to provide aid to the Royal Family by donating some resources. Even the sects who were allied to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect contributed to the Royal Family of the Glerian Kingdom!

This was a command they received from the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's master!

The battle from the previous day continued on to the next day. The forces of the Glerian Kingdom and the Lamhilhan Theocracy met each other in battle!

It was a fierce battle that greatly damaged both sides. Meanwhile, the Saber Emperor used his Saber Qi to massacre a lot of experts from the Lamhilhan Theocracy. His top-priority targets were Angels.

Eventually, the Archangels arrived. They kept Bryon, and the Saber Emperor occupied. They were prepared to battle human experts this time.

They had returned all the demon suppressing equipment to the Radiant Church and brought some power-boosting tools! Boosting their own power was the only way for the Radiant Church to deal with the Glerian Kingdom's warriors.

Meanwhile, Bryon and the Saber Emperor possessed the same equipment as the previous day. However, they had prepared a thorough plan of dealing with these Archangels.

The Saber Emperor was to gather their attention and block them somehow. Meanwhile, Bryon would gather energy to attack them with his arrow, or maybe sneak attack one of them with his Shadow Dagger.

However, the Archangels already knew of Bryon's weapon's abilities. They were prepared to deal with those abilities.

While fighting the Saber Emperor, Esther remained attentive as she knew an attack could arrive from anywhere!

It was very much possible that Bryon stood much closer to them than she thought.

After a deep thought, Esther utilized her Judgement Trident to release a shockwave uniformly in all directions. This shockwave wasn't too strong, but it was bound to shake someone.

And if Bryon shook at this point, he would be exposed.

The Saber Emperor quickly used his Saber Intent to block the shockwave for Bryon. Even Esther didn't sense his Saber Qi.

After some seconds, Esther frowned as she wondered why Bryon's body wasn't revealed. Did she guess wrongly?
