Chapter 364: Reaching a terrifying conclusion

Azaroth's Spiritual Figure smirked upon seeing Sargan's shocked expression. He seemed to have realized quite a few things from knowing this fact.

"Next time you observe him, check whether he has some kind of ring or bracelet. If my guess is right, that high-ranking angel is guiding Dylan and planning to use him to create a new body for herself and open a portal to Celestial World to return."

"A High-Ranking Angel is guiding that guy?!" Sargan was once again shocked to hear this fact.

He now understood why he had that sensation of death. So, it wasn't because of Dylan's strength, but his Demon Emperor's Blood had sensed the presence of that Angel.

It was unconsciously telling him to stay away from that Celestial, or he wouldn't know how he died.

"That's correct. This kind of situation does happen. When an Angel dies, their Soul is imprinted onto the Heavenly Treasure they are carrying. If the power of faith of the religion that this Angel belongs to is strong. The Angel would revive after some years."

"This Angel has revived, but her Spiritual Energy was clearly too weak for her to send out a signal for her comrades. And her own power is clearly quite weak for her to open a portal to return to the Heavens."

"Thus, this angel can only take the support of the human here." Azaroth calmly explained the situation to Sargan.

He, on the other hand, was also thinking something profoundly 'As for that mysterious ability of fate, perhaps I was thinking too deeply about it. Maybe it was the Angel who caught all the spies. If she had the ability to examine the spirit of all beings, she could indeed figure out the spies.'

'However, there is also a great chance that she doesn't possess this skill. If so, then this youth does possess the fate ability. Moreover, it activated after he met with the Angel.'

'If so, he would be walking his own path, not the path designed by the High-Ranking Angel. Moreover, his path will be filled by thorns and opportunities.'

Azaroth then asked Sargan, "How has this youth's life been lately? I don't want to know about his achievements or his history. I want the most recent information about him. Did he encounter some kind of trouble, or does he have some sort of ambition?"

Sargan didn't understand why Azaroth asked this question, and he had to think profoundly about it before answering him, "If I remember correctly, the most recent thing that occurred was that a gang from a nearby town provoked Dylan and his group. The leader of that gang was a 4 Star Warrior."

"That gang even managed to turn multiple villages under Dylan against them. It seemed as if Dylan and his gang were going to be destroyed by this foreign gang."

"However, when this gang went to completely uproot Dylan's gang, a woman possessing a strong background appeared. I believe she is an inner disciple of the Cloud Shore Sect. This woman had some relationship with Dylan. They appeared to be good friends."

"This woman stopped that gang from purging Dylan's gang. Instead, she converted the battle of death between the gangs to a battle of death between the gang leaders. From a group battle, it was turned into a one-on-one battle."

"Dylan merely possessed 3 Star Rank Cultivation, and his opponent was a powerful 4 Star Rank Cultivator, yet Dylan won. He even swallowed that gang and made his group even bigger."

When Azaroth heard this entire story, he felt like laughing loudly.

It seemed that just as he had initially suspected, Dylan was blessed by fate. Moreover, it was such a rich blessing that Azaroth wondered whether this guy was fate's child or not.

He knew that there was nothing strange about Dylan winning against a 4 Star Warrior. He had a High-Ranking Angel guiding him. If Dylan couldn't even do this, that angel would truly be too useless.

However, what confirmed his guess was that a woman had somehow appeared at the last possible second to save Dylan and his gang from complete extermination. Moreover, she had somehow converted that battle into a battle between gang leaders.

Not only that, but Dylan had won and benefited greatly from it. It felt as if the entire scheme of turning the other villages against Dylan was a joke.

In the end, it had only made Dylan's smoother and made things convenient for him. As long as someone wasn't an idiot, they could guess that something was going on in the background once they heard this entire story.

Some mysterious power was acting to make Dylan's life easier.

Azaroth then seriously spoke to Sargan, "That's enough." He was quite satisfied with this information.

"Now, I have another task for you. From now on, you are to stay here and observe this guy. Don't miss a single day. Contact me only if something major occurs. I doubt you understand what I mean by major. Let me give you an example. Like, he finds a treasure, and the people from other villages join up to steal it."

"He receives information about some treasure and then leaves the town. There is no question that he has gone to steal that treasure. He meets some sort of injured beauty. Or it can also be beauty in distress. Make sure to contact me at that time. I will give you my next instructions accordingly." Azaroth spoke.

"As you command, master," Sargan spoke a little nervously.

"…What's the matter? You look worried," Azaroth asked as he stared at Sargan's face.

Azaroth knew that Sargan was worried because he had observed Sargan's emotions through his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

Sargan remained silent for a couple of seconds as he hesitated whether he should tell Azaroth or not.

But then he realized that it would be wiser to inform Azaroth about it.

"Master, I am a little scared of dealing with this guy. I feel the threat of death as I stay in this place. It's as if I can die at any moment," Sargan spoke truthfully.

Azaroth's Spiritual Figure seemed to smile at those words.

"Just an Angel has terrified you so much? But I understand the reason behind your fear. You have never encountered an Angel or a Celestial. You don't know of their abilities and just how strong they are. You don't actually fear the Angel. You fear the unknown abilities it possesses," Azaroth explained calmly.

Sargan nodded in affirmation.

"You are also worried that if you are discovered, then that angel would take action and purge you along with your soul, right?" Azaroth asked.

Once again, Sargan nodded his head.

Azaroth's Spiritual Figure then shook his head with a smile on his face, "In reality, you are worried for nothing. If that boy has that Angel guiding him, don't you have me?!"

Azaroth suddenly raised his voice, and it brought Sargan back to reality from his stupor! The feeling of death that he had been experiencing these past few days vanished instantly!

"Do not forget whose subordinate you are! Even if there were hundreds of those angels, you don't need to fear them since I am here!" Azaroth's voice resounded in Sargan's mind and seemed to echo endlessly.

His voice seemed to possess great arrogance and power. Sargan even felt embarrassed as he realized that he truly was worried for nothing! How could he have forgotten Azaroth's true identity!

Azaroth was someone who even possessed the skills of the most mysterious Demon God in history! As his subordinate, how could he have been terrified by a mere High-Ranking Angel?!

"…Thank you, master. I understand now that I had allowed fear to take over my mind. Now that I think about it, if that High-Ranking Angel can't even contact her fellow comrades, then her power has definitely fallen greatly. She definitely can't use much of her power. Moreover, the only way that an angel can release her power is through a physical body. And Dylan's body can't handle power greater than a 4 Star Rank."

"Even if that Angel possesses great skills, I also don't lack skills. If nothing else, I can use Petrification and Mirage ability to fool him! Moreover, I also have your support." Sargan slapped his forehead and added, "Damnit. Just what had happened to me? Why did I become that cowardly when the situation has been entirely in my favor?!"

Azaroth's Spiritual Figure had a solemn expression as he listened to Sargan's last line. That question to himself. It seemed as if something clicked in his mind.

'It is rather abnormal for Sargan to show that kind of cowardly behavior. He is normally quite arrogant, and even to me, he submitted after witnessing my power. How could he be so terrified when he hadn't even seen that guy's power with his own eyes? Rumors can't terrify him that much.'

Suddenly, Azaroth came to a horrifying conclusion 'That Fate Ability can also affect the emotions and intelligence of the individuals around Dylan to make things more convenient for him! If Sargan had been half-hearted while gathering information regarding Dylan, it would truly have been the best possible scenario for Dylan.'

Soon, the corner of Azaroth's lips rose, and he possessed a deadly smile as he thought 'What a terrifying ability. Now, I truly feel like playing you to death, Dylan Ross.'
