Chapter 126: Demonic Attacks

Azaroth observed his retainers as they attacked those checkpoints. He could sense the movements within those checkpoints.

The leader of each checkpoint had arrived near the entrance and was giving orders to his men. Under their command, they managed to contain the damage that would have further increased due to chaos in the military.

Azaroth had informed his retainers to kill this captain if they could.

Thus, this captain immediately had to move his body and dodge the incoming attacks. Soon, Azaroth's retainers were forced to block or dodge the attacks of the soldiers in this checkpoint.

Each one of his retainers observed their enemies carefully. They knew that they had to be careful when advancing for attacking these soldiers.

If he was surrounded here, it would be difficult to break through that encirclement.

They had already managed to get used to the encirclement tactics in the elemental training array designed by Azaroth.

These soldiers were much stronger than those minions. After all, the minions had a very low defense. The annoying thing about them was their movements and their terrifying attacks.

Even though these soldiers had a much greater defense than the minions, their movements appeared somewhat simplistic to Azaroth's retainers.

This was mostly because they weren't using any complex maneuvers. For the last couple of months, they hadn't fought against their adversaries.

Moreover, they had received orders from above that there is no need to be so active near the borders. The Glerian Kingdom won't attack them anymore.

Clearly, something had occurred that only those from prestigious backgrounds knew.

The regular drills of the soldiers had stopped. For this reason, they required a bit more time to efficiently use those kinds of maneuvers and formations.

While his retainers were fighting, Azaroth was observing them from a certain distance.

'They are coming…'

Six 4 Star Warriors, leading a team of 3 Star Warriors moved towards the 6 checkpoints that had been attacked by Azaroth's retainers.

They had arrived from the central post that was in the center of these checkpoints. This was the main encampment that controlled all the checkpoints from a single point. Once they saw the green signal for assistance in more than 6 checkpoints, they immediately formed six teams and dispatched them.

The green signal generally stated they required a team with a 4 Star Warrior.

Azaroth focused on the teams that were charging towards the checkpoints where his retainers were fighting.

All his retainers except for Laura was a 3 Star Warrior.

Noah, Sargan, and Ralph were powerful enough to hold their own against 4 Star Warriors. Thus, it was clear whom he had to help out.

He began to fly at a quick pace. His plan was to intercept the team that was planning to fight Yrellea and Tiana.

His presence and his quick flying speed were something that the soldiers here hadn't expected. They weren't prepared for an attack from a 5 Star Warrior as well.

Thus, even the 5 Star Warrior who suddenly sensed Azaroth's Ardor couldn't react quickly. Azaroth soon reached the spot where he could see both of these teams.

He was wearing a purple cloak that concealed his spiritual imprint and fluctuations from others.

By the time the 5 Star Warrior flew out of the encampment, Azaroth had already finished charging up for his attack.

"Hell Flames: Dark Spheres."

Purple-colored dark purple spheres of pure energy shot out from his fingers and rained down on the team led by the 4 Star Warrior.

The attack was too sudden and it was far beyond what a 4 Star Warrior could endure. And if a 4 Star Warrior couldn't endure it, then there was even less of a chance for warriors weaken them him to survive it.

Thus, Azaroth annihilated the first team.

He didn't stop though. He moved towards the team of warriors that was moving in Tiana's direction.

By now, the other teams had sensed some strong attacks landing on one of their teams. They looked around as they dashed ahead to reinforce their comrades.

They were prepared for an attack from every direction. They were planning to atleast put up a resistance, unlike their comrades who had died before they could even realize it.

Azaroth had soon approached the other team. The 4 Star Warrior on the ground saw Azaroth in the air and immediately deduced that this was the man hunting them.

"Run!"

There was no way they would be able to block an attack from a 5 Star Warrior. They had to survive until their 5 Star Warrior can come and assist them.

Azaroth attacked them with his Dark Spheres. But these warriors managed to dodge them.

After a couple of minutes, the 5 Star Warrior had arrived and was flying just ahead of Azaroth.

'He is finally here.'

Azaroth thought with a smile. He was waiting for this fellow to arrive. But unfortunately, it took him longer than his expectations.

"Who are you? Why have you attacked us?" The warrior questioned Azaroth with a fierce look.

Instead of replying, Azaroth directly attacked the man with his purple hell flames. These purple hell flames looked to be of a lower intensity than his normal flames.

Still, they were powerful enough to harm the warrior ahead of him.

The warrior's expression changed. His complexion darkened as he saw his enemy ignore his question and directly attack him.

He dodged those flame attacks. Only when those flames passed near his body did he sense the strange power in them.

"Flames of Purgatory?! Demonic Ardor?!"

His eyes widened greatly as he understood that he wasn't fighting a human. He was fighting a demon.

Fighting a Demon was much more troublesome than fighting a human. Their physique was stronger and their attacks were brutal. They had no bottom line and were extremely barbaric that dared to do anything.

He quickly moved closer to strike Azaroth with a palm attack.

Azaroth allowed him to get close. And once he found an opportunity, he immediately used his own fist technique.

'Flame Fist.' Azaroth's fists blazed with flames as he attacked his enemy.

His opponent noticed that Azaroth was using a Flame Fist attack and immediately moved his hands to block that attack.

After blocking that attack, he kicked Azaroth's gut.

Azaroth didn't try to block that kick. He was extremely confident in his physique and anticipated that he didn't even need to block it.

He focused on gathering more Ardor for his next attack.

Just as he had expected, the warrior's kick struck his body and it didn't harm him in the slightest.

This was not shocking at all. This body possessed a drop of his Demon God Blood Essence. If it couldn't even block such a weak attack then he would have been greatly disappointed.

"Flare Blast."

Azaroth threw a ball of violet flames at the warrior.

The warrior immediately reinforced his arm with a lot of ardor and quickly deflected that ball of fire away.

The ball of fire suddenly released a bright flash that blinded the area for a couple of seconds.

When the warrior opened his eyes, he couldn't find Azaroth any longer.

Moreover, he sensed that Azaroth was flying away at his top speed. He also sensed that those warriors who attacked the checkpoints were retreating as well.

The 5 Star Warrior wondered whether he should pursue Azaroth or not. After contemplating for a few moments, he decided against it.

He had no idea about Azaroth's identity. Where he was going and just how strong he truly was.

It would be foolish of him to jump into a trap set up by the enemy.
