Chapter 324: Burning the warriors

As he gazed at the warriors in front of him, Azaroth's hands lighted up with Azure Flames.

They totaled 600 people, including the maids given by the King. Eighty of them were the king's spies.

There were also some maids who were blameless. And Azaroth had no intention of killing them.

Aria and Luna focused on the Azure Flames on Azaroth's hand.

Aria was used to fighting against a Flame Elemental Warrior as she often sparred against Christina.

Aria knew that Christina's flames were quite special. Her flames belonged to the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Their destructive power was considered the greatest among the flames.

But today, Aria felt like questioning that fact. The destructive energy she felt from these Azure Flames was much greater than Christina's Golden Flames.

They belonged to different dimensions! The irony was that these Flames were Azaroth's second most devastating flames. His Hell Flames were his most destructive flames.

Luna spoke out with shock evident in her eyes, "The Azure Sea Heart Flame?!"

"You have a good eye," Azaroth affirmed those words with a smile.

This was indeed the true name of Azaroth's Azure Flames that was filled with Humanely Ardor.

Azaroth snapped his fingers while whispering, "Burn."

Once he whispered that word, the Azure Flames in his hand immediately stretched into multiple parts.

Each portion of the Azure Flame was scorching the spies that had mixed into Noah's group.

The individuals who stood near those spies were startled, and they immediately backed away as they feared that these flames might harm them as well.

The Azure Flames engulfed the spies and slowly incinerated them. Azaroth had purposefully kept the temperature low so that the spies wouldn't perish too fast.

Each spy gave out agonizing cries. The warriors surrounding them couldn't help but sympathize with the ladies and men who were being burnt by the Azure Flames.

"W-Why are you burning them?!" Aria asked with a startled look on her face.

The men who held relations with those women were also startled and glared in Azaroth's direction angrily.

"Keep this sight in your mind. This is what happens to traitors. You would do well to never betray me," Azaroth spoke as the Azure Flames flared up in intensity.

Even the ashes weren't left behind of these individuals. They were wholly annihilated by those flames.

Azaroth soon recalled his Azure Flames before speaking out, "You can come and settle inside. You will understand the rules around here pretty soon."

All these newly recruited warriors gulped down a mouthful of saliva nervously. They all thought the same thing 'We have stepped into Hell, and there is no way back!'

All of them felt very distressed. They felt that surviving in this place would be extremely difficult.

At this moment, Noah's subordinates, who actually belonged to the Origin Sect, casually began to walk forwards. They were returning to their residences.

One of the newly recruited warriors asked him, "Aren't you scared?"

"Hmm? Why?" These warriors were confused by the confusion.

"Didn't you see what he just did?! If you annoy him, you all might suffer the same punishment!" One of these newly recruited warriors shouted.

Noah's old subordinates glanced at each other before they burst out in laughter.

"Master Azaroth isn't an unreasonable person. He hates traitors with a passion. This is somewhat we all are aware of. However, he never killed anyone amongst us because there was no traitor within us."

"He doesn't kill without any reason. Since he killed these individuals, they must have been spies," Another warrior added with a confident tone.

"And lastly, if nothing else, this man will make you stronger. That's something we have experienced, and you will experience soon," Another warrior spoke out.

Aria and Luna were surprised to hear those words. They wondered how this man named Azaroth could make them stronger.

He appeared to be their age based on his physical appearance. Aria and Luna still felt as though they were separated by an impenetrable barrier.

They soon walked forward and decided to check out their residences.

Laura was also present here as she happily talked to Azaroth.

Azaroth soon ordered Laura, "Help them get settled. Also, there are more women than I expected. Create some residences for them."

"Mhm~!" Laura was happy with this task as she moved towards these new warriors Noah had brought from the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament.

Aria and Luna were taken aback to encounter such a stunning woman in this location. When they saw how Azaroth had mercilessly burned those men and women with his Azure Flames, they assumed he was a savage, as was his whole group.

Laura first came forward and spoke out, "Hello, everyone. I am Laura, and I will be your second commander along with Noah. It's nice to meet you all."

These people were all taken back by her soothing and clear voice.

"It's nice to meet you as well, commander," A few men suddenly spoke out as they gazed at Laura.

Laura ignored that greeting and then asked them curiously, "Who amongst you is an archer?"

Fortunately for Laura, 60 of Noah's 400 men were archers. These people raised their arms a little hesitantly.

Laura happily smiled when she saw so many archers in this group and spoke out, "Amazing! You all will join my group then."

The individuals who raised their hands were stunned by this information. They felt extremely blessed to have chosen the path of an archer.

They didn't mind fighting under Noah, but they would prefer to have a gorgeous beauty as their commander.

"Alright, I will lead you all to your houses. Follow me," Laura spoke as she led them to the locations where some apartments and houses had been constructed.

These houses were constructed with a mixture of Earth Ardor and Wooden Ardor. Thus, they were very durable.

However, Azaroth had another reason for asking Laura to personally create these houses. If some sort of problem did occur, he could control the wood within these houses and create a stronghold to protect himself.

If he empowered that stronghold with his Arrays, then it might even repel a 6 Star Warrior!

As Laura led these warriors to their respective houses, she was left alone with the women who had still not been assigned any houses.

This was since only a few houses had been constructed in the area where the women lived.

Luna and Aria were among these women.

Laura raised her arms while closing her eyes as the wood rose from the group. Many vines came together, formed the basic structure of the house. She then clenched her fists, and the vines that were constructing the basic structure suddenly thickened.

From another direction came the logs that were instilled in that house.

Aria and Luna stared in shock as they saw what was happening. Actually, they wouldn't have been so stunned if it was just a single house that Laura was constructing.

Laura was constructing more than 30 houses at the same time with the same rhythm and same carpentry.

This level of control was truly impressive. Aria knew she couldn't achieve this with her Ice Element.

'Just who are these people? I thought Noah was already a monster, but there are two more here who seem just as much of a monster as he is. In fact, that man named Azaroth seems even greater monster than Noah,' Aria thought with a shocked look.
