A Demon's Journey

Ralph soon met up with Azaroth. Once Ralph saw Azaroth, he was immediately on his knees.

Azaroth was satisfied with his devoted look and soon spoke, "Alright, stand up now."

He then offered him, "Have something to drink." There were lots of drinks on the shelf near Ralph.

Ralph soon picked up a drink. He poured it out for Azaroth and then himself.

The master and retainer began to drink their respective alcohol while relaxing on their chairs.

Ralph soon asked, "What are your further orders, Master? How do I develop from here?"

"That's easy. In fact, I suspect that you know the solution already. You just want me to say it for you," Azaroth spoke with a smile.

Ralph was a bit ashamed since he knew what he was saying was true. He couldn't decide whether what he was thinking was a good idea or not. At the very least, if Azaroth gave him this command, he wouldn't be in doubt about whether it was a smart idea or not. Azaroth would never offer him a bad plan.

"Decide for yourself. If I help you now, you will never grow to be a leader. It's high time that you learn to make and stand by your own decisions," Azaroth spoke coldly.

Ralph remained silent for a few seconds before he nodded his head.

"…Alright," He responded affirmatively.

Ralph's plan was pretty simple. He was planning to continue his hunt within the forest with his group.

Instead of submitting those corpses to the Dragon Tiger Palace for the contribution points, Ralph would now strike a deal with the local merchants.

They required the beasts' corpses as well. Through it, they could create lots of things such as weapons, armor, clothing, ornaments, and so much more.

If the merchants were willing to pay them a good price, then they could earn quite well.

However, Ralph was worried that he might place his group at odds against the Dragon Tiger Palace through this plan.

They were sure to try to murder him as soon as they realized they had new competition in the market.

If Azaroth had narrated this plan for Ralph, it meant he was willing to support him. But now, Ralph wasn't sure if Azaroth would protect him and his group from the Dragon Tiger Palace.

'Wait. He will protect us if we produce enough gains! Or I can look for someone with whom we can pay the protection fees. Also, we might not require this protection initially, so my worries might be unnecessary.'

Azaroth smirked when he noticed the resolute look on Ralph's face. He knew that his retainer had realized something and made up his mind.

A few days later, Yrellea arrived in Veninza Town. She arrived at the location mentioned by Laura and Azaroth.

It was Laura's residence. She was slightly surprised when she walked into the house and saw Laura massaging Azaroth's body.

Azaroth lay practically nude on a massage table, wearing just his underpants.

When Yrellea saw his posture and his practically nude body, she felt her body becoming incredibly hot in expectation. Some blood discharged from her nose as she couldn't control the blood that was getting so excited.

She wiped the blood before Laura or Azaroth could see it and thought 'Calm down, you perverted mind!'

Meanwhile, Laura was massaging Azaroth's body. This was something she learned recently. She had begun to read some books and saw how intimately two individuals were during the massage.

If she began to massage Azaroth's body, she could spend some very intimate moments with him while also relaxing his muscles.

On the other hand, Laura would become incredibly aroused whenever she saw Azaroth in this position ahead of her. She only wanted to remove his underwear and sit on top of his dick, moving up and down.

The two would have sex only when Azaroth wanted it. Laura had to keep her lust in control till then.

Meanwhile, Azaroth hadn't denied this massage because it did relax his muscles and his physique got a bit better. Laura was using a special oil that opened his pores, and he could absorb more Ardor from the surroundings.

Thus, he wouldn't mess around during the massage. He was wholly concentrated on increasing his cultivation speed.

Laura soon noticed that Yrellea had arrived. She was about to say something when suddenly she noticed Yrellea had raised her finger and placed it on her lips, "Shh."

Laura decided to stay silent. Yrellea soon arrived next to Laura and whispered to her ears, "Let me take it from here."

"…Alright. But use this oil," Laura handed over that oil to Yrellea.

Yrellea used that oil on her hands and immediately began to apply it to all parts of Azaroth's body.

She applied it on his buffed-up chest, sturdy neck, brawny legs, and muscular arms.

Azaroth was suddenly lost in his thoughts. He was deeply meditating, and he suddenly sensed that the massage was becoming a bit intense.

The Ardor from his surroundings, which used to enter his body and then leave after a while, was now progressively merging with his body.

His physique and his energy center were becoming much stronger.

These massaging techniques were a lot superior compared to Laura's techniques. Thus, Azaroth quickly deduced that it was Yrellea.

'Alright. I don't need to worry too much about the two of them taking care of my body. They won't allow anyone to harm it,' Azaroth thought in relief.

He then decided to focus on the task due to which he had come to his mindscape.

Ahead of Azaroth's spirit were dozens of spirits that seemed quite similar to Azaroth's spirit. Their color was different, though.

Azaroth's true spirit was colorless. However, the spirits he was looking at were of red color, yellow color, blue color, green color, and so on.

"It's time for you to wake up," Azaroth spoke seriously.

These spirits ahead of Azaroth were, in reality, his intent spirits! This was the third-highest rank for the intent spirits.

Whenever Azaroth reached this stage of intent in his previous life, he would begin to work on another one.

In the next stage, the intent spirit's personality is initialized. In the final stage, the intent spirit is connected to heaven and earth, gradually absorbing all the power of the respective element present in nature.

If someone's intent spirit reached that stage, he could never be defeated by that element.

For example, if someone's flame intent spirit connected itself to nature, the flame intent would continue to absorb the flame energy within nature and strengthen itself. Any flame attack directed at that person would be swallowed by his Flame Intent Spirit, enhancing it even more.

None of Azaroth's intent spirits had their personality initialized.

Azaroth let these intent spirits slumber because he knew he needed to have a certain level of strength before attempting to awaken them.

Otherwise, his soul might have already been shattered.

Azaroth had noticed that these intent spirits weren't responding to his words. He frowned slightly as he whispered, "Time for the good old way."

"<strong>Hell Blast!</strong>" Azaroth launched purple flames at those intent spirits.

All of these intent spirits were startled when Azaroth's Hell Flames suddenly blasted near them.

They all opened their eyes and showed angry expressions. They saw Azaroth's colorless soul flying ahead of them.

These Intent Spirits couldn't speak. They just continued to angrily stare at Azaroth.

Meanwhile, Azaroth's soul smirked in response, "You all had fallen into slumber for too long. Don't forget that you are my intent spirits! When I order you something, you follow it!"

The Intent Spirits didn't have enough intelligence to completely understand Azaroth's words. However, they knew that this man was looking down on them!
