A Demon's Journey

The same night, Sargan and Noah were in the house of the village head.

Before entering the house, Noah killed the watchman with his silent, deadly, and untraceable Sword Qi.

Once the way was clear, Sargan and Noah entered the house. Sargan opened all the rooms one by one and checked where the village head was sleeping.

He found the location of the village head soon enough. It was the first room towards the right on the second floor.

Sargan asked Noah, "Keep an eye on the area. Kill anyone who enters the house. Make sure you aren't seen."

Noah nodded to his instructions.

Sargan soon entered the village head's room. The man was snoring while he was lost in his sleep. He had no idea that a demon had entered his room, literally.

Sargan gave a solid kick to the village head's body. The Village Head felt a strong blow on his body, it flew away from the bed and crashed against the wall.

He was jolted awake. But even though his eyes opened, he felt as if he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Who are you?!" He asked with some anger.

But then, he realized the pain in his back.

His vision turned clearer but during this time, Sargan had already closed the distance between them.

He kicked the village head, this time the target was his face.

That kick knocked out some of the village head's teeth. He was dumbfounded.

"W-Where am I?" The village head looked at the ground and noticed it was similar to the one in his house.

Suddenly, there was a kick on his stomach. He shouted in pain and looked at Sargan.

He asked the same question again, but this time with fear in his voice, "W-Who are you?"

"Good, this was what I was looking for." Sargan coldly spoke as he stared at the Village Head.

"I don't have much time to deal with you. Give me the names and addresses of all your comrades who administer this village." A paper and feather pen was dropped near the village head.

"What?" The village head still had no idea what was going on and asked this question.

Sargan was getting impatient at this point. He grabbed the village head's collar and pulled him up, "Give me the names and addresses of all your subordinates! Is that fucking not clear?!"

This time, Sargan also used his demonic aura to make himself appear more menacing.

This sort of trick was just too much for a small man like the village head. He began to cry as he spoke, "I will write. Please don't kill me. I will give you all the names. Just don't kill me."

"Write!"

Sargan shouted at the man as he ordered him to write. Soon, the village head sat on a nearby chair and he wrote the names of all his subordinates.

The village head relaxed after he finished writing the names of addresses of all his subordinates.

However, as soon as he was done writing, Sargan used a weak lightning bolt to kill him.

He grabbed the list and soon regrouped with Noah. They left the village head's place and began to assassinate all the people on the list.

It took them nearly 4-5 hours to clean up the village of all its administrators.

Now, it was time to begin the next phase of the plan. That was to kill all the guards.

While killing some of the men, he had interrogated another man who revealed the location of guard points.

Naturally, Sargan and Noah killed him as well.

Noah and Sargan had checked that the guards here were only 1 Star or 2 Star Warriors. The 2 Star Rank warriors were the ones in charge of a specific post.

They could be considered guard captain of that point.

Only a few hours were left for the sun to rise. They had to finish this mission till then.

For that reason, Sargan and Noah split up.

Sargan was confident that Noah could easily kill any and all warriors in his way. Even if Noah had recently become a 2 Star Warrior, Sargan had no confidence in defeating him with only the cultivation of a 2 Star Warrior.

There were 10 points and they had to clean them all up within 3 hours.

~~

Nearly 2 hours later, Azaroth opened his eyes.

He only woke up because he felt his Voice Transmission Array Stone shaking. It seemed as if Sargan was trying to contact him.

Azaroth sat on his bed and used his Ardor to activate the array stone. He then spoke, "What's the status?"

"We have killed all the guards and the administrators, Master. What are our next orders?" Sargan asked with a neutral tone.

Noah stood beside him as he awaited orders as well.

"How did you enter the village?"

"Using an old man, who is a carpenter here. He lives with his wife and has two children." Sargan informed with a serious tone.

"Good. Now, time to pack up this entire thing." Azaroth spoke with a solemn tone, "Now listen carefully to my orders. Don't mess this up."

"Yes, Master."

Azaroth spent the next hour explaining the plan to them.

It was really detailed as he had to inform them of everything they needed to do and say after that point.

Soon, they put down the Voice Transmission Array Stone.

Noah looked at Sargan and attacked him a moment later.

There was a wide slash on Sargan's body a second later. Sargan tolerated the pain easily and then used his Lightning Bolt to harm Noah.

Noah's skin was burned. Noah, like Sargan, was able to bear the anguish with ease.

Azaroth was the one who had instructed them to do this. They had to bear some wounds for the play later.

~~

The sun rose and the people woke up. A few workers and maids had different jobs in the village head's house.

However, when they entered, they were utterly flabbergasted to find his watchman dead. Later, the village head was found dead as well.

The man ran out while shouting in fear. A few people heard his shouts and they saw him running in the streets with a pale expression.

They heard from him that the village head had been assassinated.

At the same time, other people began to report that even the vice village head was dead. Soon the fact that other officers were dead came to light as well.

The entire village looked to report this information to the guards but they found out that the guards were all dead as well.

All the guards in their guard points were dead. Only their corpses could be seen.

As the entire village was panicking, Sargan and Noah soon appeared in the heart of this commotion.

Their young age and the injuries on their bodies immediately caught the attention of many people.

Once Sargan felt like the two had grabbed enough attention, he spoke with a loud and clear voice, "My name is Sargan and this is Noah. We are the retainers of Kloras Town's New Mayor. Yesterday, we secretly entered the village through the old man Kase's help. It was our master who sent us here. Our objective was to enter the village secretly and protect the village head. However, by the time we reached him, he was already dead."

"Recently, our master discovered that the Aramore village has been making suspicious movements. It has joined hands with Cirrane Town. Moreover, the Cirrane Town's Mayor even sent a few warriors to Aramore village yet they couldn't be found anywhere in that town. It's well known that the village head of the Aramore Village has a bitter hatred against this village so the mayor sent us here… But alas…When we reached them, we couldn't stop them. We were injured and forced to retreat."

Noah looked down as if he was sad that he had failed. And there was a bitter look on Sargan's face.

In reality, Sargan wasn't sure if this story would be accepted by the people here.

If the people thought for just a few minutes, they would find that this story was riddled with holes.

In fact, someone could even call it rubbish. This was what Sargan was most scared of.

However, he saw people raising their arms in anger, "Those Aramore bastards. They will pay for this!"

"Yes. We will take revenge for the chief!" A few others shouted in response.

A few more individuals spoke up as well and shouted what they should do in response.

Some of them even began to talk about how kind the village head was. How it was such a great loss to have lost him.

Sargan spoke up suddenly, "How will you any of this without any guards though?"

The entire crowd stopped speaking for a few minutes.

At that time, one person spoke up, "We will stake our lives for it! We will definitely kill them as well!"

"Stake your life for it? Are you saying that you are stronger than your guards?" There was no response from the crowd this time.

Sargan continued, "If your guards were killed so easily, how will you kill them? In fact, forget about killing them, think about how you are going to survive. If they find out you all are planning to kill them, they would just send those warriors again and kill all of you!"

Once again, all the people began to panic.

"What should we do? How can we kill those warriors?"

"We will die. We will all die!"

"I don't know about you but I am running the hell away!"

"I need to gather my money and run away as well. This place isn't safe any longer."

After nearly 10 minutes or so, Sargan shouted out, "Stop! Don't panic. The situation isn't as bad as you believe."

"Tell us then what should we do? Are you going to give shelter to us?!" A man shouted at Sargan in anger.

He was angry that this guy was telling them to calm down in such a grave situation.

Surprisingly for him, Sargan nodded his head and replied, "Yes. I am willing to shelter all of you.. If you would, then follow me."
