A Demon's Journey

Yrellea wasn't the only woman who found Azaroth's new body very attractive and pleasing to her eyes.

Laura and Tiana were in the same boat as her. It was just that their body wasn't as aroused as Yrellea's body.

The two didn't realize that since the time they laid their eyes on Azaroth's new body, they were gawking at him.

It was so exaggerated that they didn't even realize how long they had been gazing at him.

Even Laura, who had seen many handsome men in her life found herself captivated by Azaroth's appearance.

As for Tiana, her mental state was worse than Laura's right now. Normally, she was quite calm. She would have managed to break out of her trance at an appropriate moment.

However, just recently, Tiana had fulfilled her final desire to meet her parents. While she was returning, she willingly decided to submit to Azaroth even if he had been manipulating her.

This was because she saw a happy life ahead along with Azaroth and this group. Then, Sargan informed Tiana that Azaroth had created another body for himself. Once Tiana laid her eyes on Azaroth's gorgeous appearance, she was internally fawning over him like a teenager.

Azaroth didn't mind their stares. Their reactions told him that his bloodlines had perfectly blended. He possessed the physique of a human, the absolute beauty of a celestial, and the diverse powers his body possessed due to the demonic blood.

"Ehm." Azaroth coughed a few times to jolt the women up from their trance. While they were in that state, he couldn't really talk to them.

The three of them were quite ashamed of themselves. Yrellea was the most embarrassed since she felt that her pussy was actually wet. She had gotten too horny just now.

She was even slightly nervous that if Azaroth found out, he would look down on her. Thus, she closed her legs completely and prevent anyone from finding out about it.

Laura and Tiana looked away as they didn't dare to look at Azaroth's face anymore. The situation was quite awkward for them.

"I assembled you all for two important reasons. Firstly, from now on, you will call this new body Azaroth. And my previous body as Edwin." Azaroth made his identities clear.

"Is that clear?" Azaroth asked with an authoritative tone.

"Yes, Boss/ Master!" Azaroth heard these responses from his retainers.

He nodded his head in satisfaction and further spoke, "Good. Now, the second reason is that I wanted to congratulate you all for passing that final trial. That trial had nothing to do with your power. It was testing your mind. Whether you passed it by fluke or by ability, it meant that your combat instincts are now above the threshold."

"The time has come for all of you to get started with your tasks," Azaroth spoke, causing them to look at him with surprised yet excited expressions.

They had gotten bored of training for all this time.

"As I had mentioned to you before we arrived in Kloras Town. Noah, Ralph, and Laura are going to train the warriors' combat ability and lead them."

"Yrellea and Sargan's task is to create an intelligence department that would gather useful bits of information for us."

"And lastly, Tiana is going to create a sect to train women who possess a similar physique to yours." Azaroth finished speaking soon enough.

Azaroth paused for a minute to allow this information to settle in their minds before he spoke ahead, "Firstly, I will create spatial rings for each one of you. Connect it with your spiritual energy."

"After that, I will give you all a lot of Winter Ice Fluorescence Crystals. Keep it within your Spatial Rings. When you are within 30 or so miles of range of someone with a physique suitable for Ice Cultivation, these crystals will shine brightly. When the crystal shows such a reaction, your spirit will be notified by a weak pulse. You can then pull out this crystal from your ring and search for the individual using it. The closer you are, the brighter it would shine." Azaroth spoke as he pulled out a Winter Ice Fluorescence Crystal.

A brilliant turquoise radiance shone from this crystal.

It completely blinded all of Azaroth's retainers for a few seconds. Soon, their eyes got used to that blinding light and looked at the crystal in Azaroth's hand.

"It's so gorgeous," Laura muttered. Azaroth's other retainers definitely agreed with that statement.

Sargan asked a question, "What is our task after we find that individual?"

Azaroth looked at Noah, "Noah, Laura, and Ralph, if either of you finds someone possessing a physique suitable for Ice Cultivation. All you need to do is inform Sargan and Yrellea using the Voice Transmission Array Stones. They will investigate that woman's background. Once they investigate her background, they will further pass on this information to Tiana. Tiana will go or send someone to invite her to the Ice Pavilion formally."

He observed their expressions and they looked quite astonished by his instructions.

"Now… This plan is for the future. When Sargan and Yrellea's network is wide and strong enough. Tiana's prestige is great enough that if you invite a young woman, she would be willing to join you without a second thought." Azaroth spoke with a shrug.

Those words forced his retainers to return to reality. They were somewhat disappointed as they realized they still had a long way to go.

They had barely taken the first step. They couldn't get complacent about it.

Soon enough, all of them had serious and focused looks on their faces.

"For you all to gain prestige and connections, you will need to travel a lot. Just as strength isn't gathered by a day of training, prestige and connections aren't formed in a single day. Everything has a step-by-step process."

"However, it's impossible for me to allow you to travel within the Sinyalian Kingdom. Especially the three of you." He pointed at Yrellea, Laura, and Tiana.

He wasn't worried about their loyalty. Azaroth had used his eyes to check their emotions and he knew just how much their feelings towards him had increased. As long as they weren't tortured by some really painful method, they wouldn't betray him.

He couldn't allow the three of them to roam around because they were wanted in the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Yrellea and Laura were wanted because the King wanted to capture Laura.

Meanwhile, Tiana was wanted because Azaroth had basically abducted her from the Rhodes palace. Jonas was still definitely searching for her. So he couldn't allow her to travel alone. If her tracks were found, there would be no saving her.

Azaroth had already thought of a method to make use of them. He planned to take them to the Glerian Kingdom.

However, he didn't want to split up his group of retainers. Most of their tasks would be codependent on each other. Thus, they needed to be together.

Azaroth had thus decided to take all his retainers to the Glerian Kingdom with him.

His clone with Edwin's identity will remain behind and manage Kloras Town.. There were also some tasks he could only do by using Edwin's identity.
