A Demon's Journey

Within the Glerian Kingdom's Palace.

Tryfon Rellas was seated on his throne with the same bored expression on his face. He was the king of the Glerian Kingdom yet there were days he felt very helpless.

This helplessness was because they had exhausted their resources and even their stockpile by continuing the war against the Sinyalian Kingdom.

It was only at the end did the King order to halt the war since they had to keep the emergency resources.

This war didn't affect the Sinyalian Kingdom much because, during these times, King Valliadis was focusing on trade with the Lamhilhan Theocracy. The Theocracy provided them with many materials and through their assistance, the Sinyalian Kingdom prevented the war from largely affecting its economy.

As long as the economy remained intact, the Sinyalian Kingdom would remain stable.

However, King Tryfon Rellas didn't hear of this trade between the Sinyalian Kingdom and the Lamhilhan Theocracy. Thus, he pushed along with his war agenda.

It was only natural that he didn't hear anything about it. Even the Noble Families within the Sinyalian Kingdom had no idea that such a trade was occurring.

This was a trade directly between the Government of the Lamhilhan Theocracy and the Royal Family of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Since the Glerian Kingdom was low on resources required in war, they couldn't very well wage war on the Sinyalian Kingdom.

It would take nearly a whole decade for these resources to be replenished.

These resources and materials were replenished by using Arrays or special materials in the mines. However, in the Frascoia Continent, these resources were in short supply.

The majority of these materials could only be found in the Heavens or Purgatory.

Azaroth, on the other hand, possessed enormous quantities of these commodities and resources. If he sold them to the King, the mines' time to replenish those resources would be significantly reduced.

It would at most take a couple more months for the Glerian Kingdom's economy to completely recover.

Naturally, in return for selling these resources, Azaroth had to ask for something of equal value or else his offer would be met with suspicions.

Thus, Azaroth asked for many kinds of herbs. Most of them were 6 Star Herbs while there was also a 7 Star Herb within them.

The King had to provide these herbs to Azaroth and only then could their deal go forward.

Even though these herbs were quite valuable, currently, the Glerian Kingdom was in urgent need of the resources in Azaroth's hands.

Tryfon Rellas planned to negotiate the terms a bit.

There was a knock on the door.

Tryfon Rellas showed a grim look on his mature face and spoke, "Come in."

A woman stepped inside and she bowed her head. She spoke with a respectful tone, "The Blue Lake Sect's disciples encountered a disaster. They have failed to acquire the Moonlit Snow Lotus."

Tryfon Rellas spoke grimly, "…I see." He then asked after a brief silence, "What about the demon whose presence was sensed in Warrington City?"

"The Stony Rock Sect are doing their best to find the demon but they have  been unsuccessful in their attempts." The maid replied with a monotonous tone.

Tryfon Rellas wasn't surprised. He felt that this demon was quite a mysterious person. It would be strange if he was caught by cultivators of the Stony Rock Sect.

He knew that currently, the demon was somewhere in Veninza city but he didn't plan to inform the Stony Rock Sect.

The Stony Rock Sect would get in the middle of their transaction. Perhaps he could inform them after the transaction was completed.

Azaroth and his retainers' appearance was collectively seen by only Spyros, his two senior brothers, and his master.

However, they weren't in this world any longer thus Azaroth and his retainers had no pursuers.

Soon, the maid walked out of the hall, leaving Tryfon Rellas in deep thought.

A couple of days later, a Spatial Ring was sent to Lennox Rees's shop.

Azaroth knew that this was from the King. It indicated that he had accepted the deal.

Lennox Rees had no idea why he was sent a ring but he didn't care. He decided to keep it along with his precious belongings.

At night, he was truly shocked as he sensed a familiar demonic aura.

Even though it had been months since he met with Azaroth, he had never forgotten this Demonic Aura. It still gave him nightmares.

Azaroth was in his bedroom and his body was completely flooded with Demonic Energy that prevented Lennox Rees from gauging his height or seeing his face.

Lennox Rees's wife immediately fainted as she laid her eyes on Azaroth. She was experiencing a mind-splitting headache.

Azaroth soon opened his mouth and spoke with a bone-chilled voice, "The ring."

Lennox Rees immediately understood what Azaroth meant and hurried to the place where he stored his belongings. He pulled out the ring and immediately rushed to hand it to Azaroth.

He didn't have very good feelings about the demons. He was terrified of them since his daughter had been cursed by a demon.

Fortunately, she was alright now.

Azaroth didn't care much about Lennox Rees's thoughts. Azaroth used his Spiritual Sense to check out the ring and soon found the herbs he required.

The King had actually given him the Seven Star Herb he had requested along with many rare 6 Star Herbs. However, their quantity was less than what Azaroth had requested.

He transferred these herbs to his own ring. Then, he transferred the promised resources to the Spatial Ring sent by the King.

"Keep it with yourself. Someone will come to ask it from you. Give it to that person." Azaroth spoke with a chilly voice.

Lennox Rees mindlessly nodded. How could he dare to say something to Azaroth? He received the ring from Azaroth.

Seeing him acting so terrified, Azaroth decided it was time to leave.

Lennox Rees was quite surprised when he saw Azaroth leave so quickly. Was he only here for this?

It relieved him greatly that Azaroth wasn't here to harm him.

Meanwhile, Azaroth was heading towards Laura's place.

Laura had bought a house in Veninza City. It was quite some distance away from the training grounds where she trained her group members.

Even though Laura was meditating in her room, she opened her eyes as soon as Azaroth entered her house.

She had actually grown a couple of plants in the perimeter of her house. Through this, her sensing skill received a significant boost so that no one could sneak up on her.

Even Azaroth couldn't perfectly hide his presence from her boosted senses.

There was a bright smile on her face as she sensed Azaroth entering her house. However, she remained motionless and wanted to act clueless in front of him.

When Azaroth reached her room, he glanced at her for a second before saying, "You can quit the act and open your eyes."

Laura pouted as she heard Azaroth. She didn't know how he found out she was faking but after thinking a bit about it, she didn't find it too strange.

He was her master.

Azaroth spoke while ignoring Laura's emotions, "Drop your blood on these herbs and I will be on my way."

"Alright." Laura didn't mind it.

Azaroth then released the herbs from the Spatial Ring and there were so many that it covered Laura's entire room.

Laura asked Azaroth with a confused look, "Master, do you want me to die of blood loss?"

"Quit joking and get to work. I don't have all day." Azaroth coldly said.

Laura pouted cutely but she did get to the work.
