Chapter 416: The Angel's Plan

Azaroth didn't step in to break the barrier because he wanted to give some time to Dylan Ross and Camille so that they could understand their current situation from the Night Mountain Sect's perspective.

Six hours had passed since Dylan Ross entered the Night Mountain Sect. And Dylan was wondering how he could assist the Night Mountain Sect in this battle against the Black Lake Sect.

He didn't know, but he wanted to resolve this conflict between these two great sects before moving towards the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

He felt it was best to awaken his Angel. She could help him make a difference in this battle between the two sects.

When the Angel awakened and found out about the entire situation, she was quite dissatisfied. She thought that Dylan's greatest priority should be to go to the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Once they reach the Cathedral in the Lamhilhan Theocracy, she can contact her comrade and finally recover her holy energy. Dylan would undergo holy baptism that would allow him to use Holy Ardor to some extent.

Dylan could never utilize his Holy Ardor as good as a Celestial, but it would be much better than those priests, bishops, or popes set up by the Celestials on Frascoia Continent. However, it was still better than nothing.

Against a demon, Dylan would be much stronger. Moreover, the Angel could then pass her secret techniques to him.

The Angel looked down on all humans in the world, but she had formed a close bond with Dylan. She didn't want him to die any time soon, even after she was gone.

Thus, she was going to teach him some of her secret techniques and give him an Artifact through which he could summon her whenever he wanted.

She would be punished heavily if the other Celestials ever found out what she was planning. Thus, she was planning to keep it a secret from her fellow comrades.

However, Dylan's naïve attitude had disappointed the Angel. When the Angel asked why Dylan had stopped over here, Dylan responded that he couldn't just leave these people to die here.

He wanted to resolve the conflict between the two sects. No matter how unrealistic it might seem.

If Azaroth had known what Dylan was thinking about, he would have laughed so loudly until his stomach began hurting.

Dylan would have achieved his goal only if the situation remained before Azaroth's interference. However, sadly for him, Azaroth's interference had destroyed the easy path that fate had set out for him. Dylan would now have to struggle greatly to accomplish his goal.

Azaroth still didn't look down on fate. There was a chance that this situation was still under fate's control.

Anyway, the Angel within Dylan let out a sigh as she heard Dylan's desire to assist everyone here. She began thinking of some method through which she could assist Dylan in achieving his aim.

However, most of those methods required Dylan to have great strength. But he was merely a 3 Star Warrior. He could fight and win against a 4 Star Warrior. But his true cultivation was at the 3 Star Rank.

"This Night Mountain Sect will pit you against the Black Lake Sect. To prove that you aren't an agent of the Black Lake Sect, you will need to kill a few disciples of that sect," The Angel spoke.

Dylan nodded his head and spoke, "I understand that. I planned to do that anyway. This Black Lake Sect had grown quite arrogant in the last couple of years."

"The Night Mountain Sect had been flourishing beautifully and had discovered a new mine with rich minerals when the Black Lake Sect invaded the Night Mountain Sect and demanded that they give up this new mine."

This was the story that the elders of the Night Mountain Sect concocted and told Dylan. Dylan naturally believed this story since it was quite realistic for a sect to act like this.

Since Dylan was speaking the truth right now, the Angel believed his words. She then asked him, "What is this place?"

"This is the Night Mountain Hill," Dylan spoke with a confident expression.

The Angel raised her brow as she had heard of this name before. After a couple of seconds, she recalled where she had heard the name. It was the location where the Demon Emperor was buried.

She had battled him before she was gravely injured and had been forced to stay in her spiritual form here in the Glerian Kingdom.

She had an idea in her mind. She planned to have the Demon Emperor release a lot of his Demonic Ardor here.

This would accomplish two of her motives. The Demonic Ardor could alert a Celestial near this spot, and he could send an Angel to deal with this Demon Emperor. If that Angel had a good relationship with the Holy Church, she would definitely help her.

Secondly, it would help Dylan achieve his aim. There was only a single way for these two sects to give up on their pride and resolve this conflict between them. That was for them to encounter a great opponent.

The Demon Emperor's prestige and the potential damage he could do were bound to unite them.

To have the Demon Emperor release more of his Demonic Ardor, the Angel would merely need to loosen the Holy Seal around him.

This was extremely easy for a High-Ranking Angel like her. All she had to do was enter the range to manipulate that seal. Dylan would need to leave the Night Mountain Sect for that to occur.

However, Dylan had just entered the Night Mountain Sect. The Night Mountain Sect won't allow him to leave so soon. He would be allowed to leave when the Night Mountain Sect willingly opened the gate to launch a counterattack on the Black Lake Sect.

The Angel knew that no one could fly over the Night Mountain Hill. However, she could use her Holy Ardor to resist that Demonic Ardor and have Dylan fly.

The Angel planned to do this after Dylan had proven his identity by killing a few disciples of the Black Lake Sect. Once the Demonic Ardor is unleashed, the Night Mountain Sect won't recall that Dylan had escaped.

When Dylan returns to the Night Mountain Sect and deals with the Demonic Ardor, the Night Mountain Sect would hold him in higher regard.

Azaroth could guess his Angel's plan. He was sure that the Angel knew a Demon Emperor was sealed around here. It would be impossible for her to not take advantage of this fact.

The Angel would be thinking the best for Dylan. These two sects were bound to possess many rare resources and ores. If Dylan could utilize them, he would instantly break through and reach the 4 Star Rank.

Strength was the most important thing in the world. The Angel was clearer than Dylan regarding this fact.

And if Dylan reached the 4 Star Rank, the Angel could release even greater energy through him. It would help him in the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

In that place, the greater the Holy Ardor could an individual release, the greater his prestige. Thus, His Angel's plan was perfect for Dylan's growth.

However, what she had miscalculated was Azaroth's presence. His presence was literally an anomaly in Dylan Ross's fate.

Dylan Ross could have had a smooth sailing while resolving the conflict between these two sects. But now, he had to do most of the tasks personally.

Azaroth didn't just plan to deal with Dylan Ross, but he was going to meet his Angel and Camille.
