A Demon's Journey

No matter how cautious Azaroth was, he knew that someone would make a mistake and allow a man to enter the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's territory. If he asked any of these ladies here if they would ever betray him and breach this rule, he knew they would all honestly say no.

Azaroth, on the other hand, believed that they could eventually betray him. It all relied on the magnitude of the dilemma they were confronted with. They might be doing it to rescue a family member, a close friend, or even their own conscience by repaying a favor to someone.

He thought 'There is one last situation in which a man can enter the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's territory. If that guy is the Son of Fate like Dylan Ross. Only a man with a broken ability and luck can enter the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's territory without letting Tiana and her peers from finding out.'

'And if a guy possessing the fate of a protagonist does appear, it won't take long for Tiana and her subordinates to be involved with that guy in one way or another. I can't have someone else take control of this sect like that.'

He further thought and decided what he should do next 'I need to take action now to prevent such a situation from occurring in the future. It would be a good idea to start with Tiana and then make my move on others.'

Azaroth could sleep with all of them at the same time if he wanted to, and no one would protest. However, Azaroth realized that doing so would cause confusion, and he desired to enjoy his time with every one of them, so he opted to go sequentially.

While Azaroth was planning to create a harem in the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, his clone Nudar, Dylan Ross, Margeria, and Camille, had finally reached Olisville Town. This Olisville Town was a town that was controlled by the Glerian Kingdom's army.

There was a governor and the town lord of this Olisville Town. But frankly, not even the street dog would show any respect for them. Only with the Army's permission could they do anything in the town.

Azaroth learned from Nudar's memories that after Dylan Ross arrived in town, some soldiers leered at Margeria and Camille with a perverse expression on their faces. Dylan, ever the noble warrior, threatened them to cease ogling Margeria and Camille.

When they heard someone shout at them, they were startled. In this town, it was unusual for a warrior to scold or shout at a soldier. Seven generations of that warrior's family would be uprooted.

These troops looked at Dylan and noticed that he was dressed in some fairly fancy attire. In Olisville Town, these kinds of garments were not accessible. They recognized right once that this warrior had to be an outsider. As a result, he was unaware that he had committed a serious offense by yelling at a soldier!

Camille was well-versed in the history of Olisville Town, and she was well aware that the military had absolute power. She had previously advised Dylan not to be rash in this place. Dylan had assured her that he would not make reckless decisions.

However, right after entering this town, he was bickering with some soldiers. It truly annoyed her to no end. One of the soldiers stepped forward and asked Dylan, "So, what? What will you do if we continue to gaze at these beauties?"

When Dylan heard those words and tone, he became outraged. "You best stop right now, or the outcome will not be pretty!" he said threateningly. He emitted a deep deadly intent meant to frighten these men.

However, his killing intent didn't scare these soldiers. Instead, it made them feel that they were watching a clown. All of them began laughing loudly without any exception. Dylan was extremely humiliated as he saw these soldiers laughing at him in front of Camille and Margeria.

He wanted these two women to have a good impression of him. However, these soldiers were truly testing his bottom line. Dylan glared at them with a hateful look in his eyes, but he didn't attack them. Although he was angered, he wasn't stupid.

He could sense that multiple strong warriors were slowly gathering around them. It didn't take a genius to figure out that these fighters were actually companions of the two obnoxious-looking troops with whom he was squabbling.

Another soldier spoke while looking at Camille and Margeria, "What brings you two beauties here? If you need assistance, we can help you. You don't need to accompany this hideous-looking brat anymore."

Camille smiled and responded to these soldiers, "Thank you for your kind compliments. We are actually here to meet Major regarding an important matter. Would you be kind enough to lead us to the Major's camp?"

When the soldiers learned that these three wished to meet Major, they were taken aback. They wondered whether these three people were the Major's guests. If such was the case, the troops believed they had meddled with someone they shouldn't have.

At this moment, a Lieutenant stepped forward and asked them with a calm expression, "Do you have an appointment letter with you? Not just anyone can meet Major. He is a busy man who needs to remain focused on the movements on the borders. He doesn't have time to meet with some brats."

Dylan didn't like the way this Lieutenant was looking down at them. However, before he could speak, he noticed Camille signaling him to remain quiet. Even though Dylan was very annoyed, he swallowed his resentment and remained quiet.

Camille was relieved to see that Dylan understood her signal and didn't explode on the spot. She could now focus on the Lieutenant. The ring on her index finger began glowing and a letter appeared in her right hand.

She stepped towards the Lieutenant and informed him, "This is the appointment letter to meet the Major. It contains the Royal Seal. You can verify it if you want."

When Camille pulled out that letter that contained the Royal Seal, the Lieutenant finally lost his calm expression. He held that letter and knew that this wasn't simply a Royal Seal. It was the Sovereign's Seal! This stated that Camille and her group had been sent by the King!

Camille smirked as she realized the Lieutenant's face had completely lost its color. He must have grasped that this was a Sovereign Seal, not merely a Royal Seal! She was confident that they wouldn't try to stir up any more troubles for them.

Margeria remained quiet during the entire time. She was just relieved that they didn't need to fight here. She could sense a large number of warriors in this town. And if Dylan really picked a fight with them, she would be forced to fight alongside him. In her current form, she could only display fighting prowess equal to a 3 Star Warrior.

Thus, she would be nearly or completely useless in a battle. Fortunately, Camille handled the situation and she realized there wouldn't be any fighting. At this time, Nudar was standing some distance away, observing Dylan's group.

He was wearing local clothing to ensure that he wouldn't grab any unnecessary attention. Only Margeria located him and knew he was following them. However, she remained quiet and acted as though she didn't notice anything.

Nudar wondered with a rather curious expression 'How does Dylan plan to cross the border and reach the Lamhilhan Theocracy? From the looks of it, Dylan has no idea. It should be Camille who knows how they will cross the border and reach the Lamhilhan Theocracy. She even possessed an appointment letter with the King's Seal on it. Is the King planning to personally involve himself and sending them to the Lamhilhan Theocracy?

'What can be the King's order? Will he order the Major to lead his forces and create a distraction so that Dylan and his group can take advantage of that opportunity? They can breach the border and reach the Lamhilhan Theocracy. Or is there something else at play here?'

In truth, the procedure was far easier than Nudar had anticipated. The Major was ordered by the King to organize a sting operation. Their mission was to take down the enemy's base. For this sting operation, Dylan and his group would be joining the squad.

However, this mission was just for formality. The Major's true task was to safely send Dylan and his group into the Lamhilhan Theocracy. Naturally, after they are in the Lamhilhan Theocracy, Dylan and his group would split up from the team and go on their separate ways.

After entering the city nearest to the border, they would try to contact Camille's family's informers and gain a basic understanding of the situation in the Lamhilhan Theocracy. After understating the situation, Dylan planned to reach a Cathedral so that Margeria could contact her comrades and request them to help him.

Naturally, Dylan was unaware that the plan had changed on Margeria's end. She had no intention of asking her comrades to assist Dylan. She intended for the group to split up and for Dylan to embark on a journey to aid Camille and increase his influence within the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Margeria had decided to leave the group because she wanted Nudar to be baptized at the Holy Cathedral. And Nudar knew that if he got baptized in the Cathedral, he'd save himself a lot of hassle and be on his way to achieving the 6 Star Rank!
