A Demon's Journey

These women were so shocked to see Azaroth was because they had been expecting that their true leader was some old man.

Tiana had mentioned that their leader was someone at the Emperor Rank. Normally, experts of the King rank would be above the age of 50. So, they had been expecting Azaroth to be a hundred-year-old monster.

However, now that they looked at Azaroth, they found his face extremely attractive and young. In fact, some of them even felt that Azaroth was probably younger than them.

"Heh. So, you are our leader?" One of the women stepped forward as she gauged Azaroth rather intently.

Azaroth raised his brow at her behavior, but he remained silent. He knew there were all kinds of strange individuals in the world, so this woman's actions didn't actually shock him much.

The woman soon realized that she had been rudely staring at Azaroth. She backed away and spoke with a respectful tone in her voice, "I am Rosalie Pearce. I met sect master Tiana in the Eclipse Battlefield Tournament. After we joined her sect, she mentioned that our true leader was an Emperor Ranked Expert."

Azaroth blankly stared at her while he listened to Rosalie. He thought 'I see… She is gauging me.'

Azaroth was slightly amused as he realized this. He allowed Rosalie to continue speaking up her nonsense for a little longer.

Meanwhile, Rosalie asked Azaroth, "You don't mind if I ask you a question, right?"

Azaroth shook his head negatively. He never stopped his subordinates from asking questions.

Rosalie seemed relieved to hear his affirmation and asked him, "Is it true that you are our true leader? If that's the case, why don't I sense your power? I detect a strong presence from you, but not to the point where I believe you are an Emperor Ranked Expert."

Azaroth smirked at those questions and spoke, "Firstly, allow me to clarify your doubts. I am your True Leader, and my name is Azaroth. You can call me leader, sect master, or Lord Azaroth. That would be your choice."

"Now, as for that Emperor Ranked Expert thing. I was an Emperor Ranked Expert, but I have dropped to the Lord Rank due to some complicated injuries. Which I believe you know as 5 Star Rank." Azaroth spoke.

The women around were startled. Some were even slightly disappointed. They wanted to experience the power of a true Emperor Ranked Expert, but it seemed that they couldn't.

Rosalie continued to stare at Azaroth with that doubtful glint in her eyes, "And how would you prove it?"

"I knew that some of you would have such a doubt. Allow me to resolve it in one go. If you can remain standing after withstanding the pressure released from me, you can think what I spoke is a lie. I will even reward you with great treasures and wealth. How about it?" He asked.

Rosalie's eyes instantly sparkled at those words, "What treasures and wealth are you talking about? What are the restrictions on us while trying to resist that pressure?"

Azaroth smirked, and his purple rings began to glow for some moments before some treasures appeared on the ground right ahead of him.

10 treasures appeared. All of these treasures were suitable for warriors possessing Yin Physiques.

When Rosalie saw all these treasures, her pupils immediately widened. She never expected Azaroth to possess so many treasures.

Moreover, these treasures possessed such a rich Icy Aura that she was sure her combat power would be significantly boosted.

"I have placed all kinds of weapons like sword, saber, whip, discs, Axe, Great Sword, and so on, that would significantly boost a warrior's combat power possessing Icy Element. I will present this opportunity to all of you." Azaroth declared to all the women standing ahead of him.

While they remained motionless due to their shock, Azaroth further added, "If you win against me, you can grab any of them. If you have any other request for a weapon, I will create a custom set for you."

"As for my wealth. It's so great that you can't even imagine it. It would be large enough to keep your next seven generations glutted." The confidence Azaroth displayed was already enough to win these women over.

Most of them were convinced that since Azaroth was putting such valuable things on the bet, he must have the real capability.

"I don't need you to hold back at all. Use any secret skill or treasure. I won't mind it." Azaroth spoke with a confident tone.

Rosalie's eyes glowed upon hearing those words, and she spoke, "Those are your words. You can't take them back now."

Azaroth casually smiled and spoke, "I don't intend to."

Rosalie then immediately began to laugh, "Hehe… That's good." Her laughter seemed to indicate that she had a good chance of winning this bet.

Azaroth remained confident as he knew just why Rosalie felt that she had a chance of winning.

She was wearing a set of bangles with the ability to repel Spiritual Energy. Rosalie felt confident in her ability to win this wager because these bangles should be able to repel Spiritual Energy from even a powerful Demon Lord or Beast Lord.

She didn't seem to believe that Azaroth was an Emperor ranked expert before. He seemed too young. And his age just filled her with doubts.

She concluded that he must have a great background who supplied him with these treasures and resources. However, he was definitely lying about the fact that he was previously a 7 Star Expert.

A few moments later, Azaroth asked them, "Are you ready?"

Rosalie and her comrades immediately braced themselves. Rosalie also secretly activated her set of bangles and prepared to take on Azaroth's presence.

Meanwhile, Azaroth merely closed his eyes for a couple of seconds. When he opened them again, all the women ahead of them experienced a terrifying sensation.

They suddenly felt that all the individuals from their surroundings had disappeared. In fact, they felt as if they had woken up in a reddish filtered world.

Everything around them was reddish, and when they looked ahead, they saw corpses. These were not just dozens or hundreds of corpses. These were mountains of corpses!

Moreover, the corpses weren't just limited to humans. They comprised demons, celestials, humans, elves, dwarves, sea monsters, monsters, and even pure spirits.

These women experienced a terrifying killing intent that struck their subconscious mind so strongly that they fell unconscious.

Not a single woman could retain her consciousness after seeing that scenery.

Outside that illusion, Azaroth had a smirk on his face as he noticed that all these women had fallen unconscious. He looked at Tiana, who stood on the side, and ordered her, "Take these weapons and also the Spirit Coins. They will be useful for you later."

Tiana was startled as she heard Azaroth's command and accepted his generosity, "Thank you, master."

"You can choose the one which suits you the most and distribute the rest to your subordinate. However, give them away as rewards, not as gifts. You understand what I mean, right?" Azaroth asked her at the end.

Tiana nodded her head to indicate that she understood. Azaroth didn't want her to gift these weapons to her subordinates for no reason.

There had to be a particular reason or occasion for her to reward her subordinates with this treasure. That means the subordinate must have worked hard for this.

"In reality, these weapons won't suffice as weapons for the sect. I will hand you more treasures that would greatly increase your personal power and your treasury." Azaroth added.

"I will be very grateful, master," Tiana spoke with a pleased expression.

"Alright, it's time we leave," Azaroth spoke as he moved his hand a bit and he began to fly in the air.

The same was true for Tiana and the unconscious women. They were flying in the air while following Azaroth's lead.

Azaroth couldn't use his full speed this time, so he flew towards the Black Lake Sect and Night Mountain Sect's Battlefield at an average pace.
