Chapter 602 Using The Spies

Name:A Demon's Journey Author:
Sargan proposed a plan to Rhea. "We need to make use of these spies and their knowledge," he said. "Let's inform them of our target and use them."

Rhea raised her brows as he asked, "How?"

Sargan responded rather calmly, "Just tell your spies that you will be targeting the Black Stone Grotto in the forest. They will do the rest."

Rhea's eyes soon widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "I see. They will inform their factions about it while we will be prepared with a trap to defeat them."

Sargan smiled at her enthusiasm. "Exactly," he said. "However, remember that it won't just be a single faction that comes. There is a chance that all three of the factions will convene."

Rhea nodded in agreement, and they gave the order to their teams. The spies were informed of the target.

The spies wasted no time in reporting the information to their respective factions.

As news of Rhea's plan to attack the Black Stone Grotto in the forest spread, Xander's faction immediately went on high alert.

This was their territory, and they were not going to let anyone take what was rightfully theirs.

Meanwhile, Dante's faction, known for its exceptional assassination skills, began to move quietly through the forest.

They knew the terrain like the back of their hand and were able to make their way towards the grotto without being detected.

Once they arrived, they hid among the trees, waiting patiently for Rhea's faction to arrive and the battle between Xander and Rhea's factions to begin.

Each faction had brought a single Demon King with them, who had hidden themselves deeply while making sure their Ardor wouldn't leak in the slightest.

Xander and Dante had sent a small part of their faction near the Black Stone Grotto, with the former having sent hundred demons and the latter sending nearly fifty demons.

They hadn't come in person as they were sure that their subordinates would be more than enough to handle it.

Meanwhile, only Sargan had entered the forest from Rhea's faction.

Rhea's faction was stationed a bit farther away from the forest and was hidden inside a cave as they awaited his signal.

She had brought two Demon Kings along with her.

These Demon Kings were slightly suspicious of Sargan's plan and were disappointed in Rhea that she would actually listen to the strategies of an outsider.

They had no choice but to listen to her as she remained adamant in utilizing this strategy.

However, Rhea was no fool. She wasn't going to risk the lives of members of her faction.

Sargan left her faction at this particular moment and headed straight towards the forest. He was moving at a relatively slow pace, but this was all to ensure that his Ardor wouldn't be detected by the Demon Kings in this region.

Once he was inside, Sargan moved around while keeping his eyes on the Black Stone Grotto. He activated his Evil Abyss Pupils while taking a quick glance at his surroundings and deactivating it.

During this swift moment, Sargan managed to glimpse several figures hidden in the trees some distance away from the Black Stone Grotto.

He guessed that they were utilizing an illusion art to ensure that their auras would remain undetectable.

With a grin plastered on his face, Sargan headed towards them while circling around the Black Stone Grotto.

After moving for some time, he halted. He was at the perfect distance from them.

He quickly dug a hole near his position that was large enough to hide him.

Pulling out a spear from his spatial ring, Sargan infused it with his Ardor before launching it towards the trees where members of Dante's faction were hiding!

The spear didn't actually hit any tree. It just kept on flying at a swift speed.

Sargan immediately jumped inside the hole while creating a hand seal while whispering, "Unseal!"

The spear suddenly halted in mid-air as it released an exceptionally loud and sharp noise.

At this moment, all the figures that were utilizing illusion to conceal their bodies felt a sharp noise directly targeting their spirit.

This attack on their spirit caused their concentration to break and the illusion art was dispelled.

The Xander's faction's group that was guarding the Black Stone Grotto heard that sound as well and were immediately alerted.

They sensed the presence of multiple figures in the north.

Without wasting any moment, the entire group rushed towards the site to deal with these interlopers.

The Demon King of Dante's faction was startled as that spear released such an erratic noise that it dispelled the illusion of members under him.

He instinctively released his massive Ardor and swept it across the region.

Sargan was concealing his Ardor as best as he could and managed to save himself from the Demon King's senses.

However, the Demon King made a costly error as this action revealed his location to the Demon King of Xander's faction.

The Xander faction's Demon King immediately rushed towards the Dante faction's Demon King and a massive battle soon began.

The shockwaves of this battle could reach even Rhea's location.

The two Demon Kings accompanying her were shocked as they felt these shockwaves.

"T-That demon actually did it! He actually made the two factions fight each other!"

This was the signal that Sargan informed them. He wanted them to wait for an hour before rushing towards the Black Stone Grotto.

This hour was to ensure that both faction groups would have weakened each other sufficiently so that Rhea's faction could instantly gain victory over the combined might of the two.

And sure enough, Rhea's group advanced into the forest after an hour.

By this time, the battle in the Black Stone Grotto had already turned in Xander faction's favor.

Although the Dante faction's group had utilized many unique skills and illusionary powers, their numbers proved too little to gain decisive advantage over the Xander faction's group.

Even the battle between the Demon Kings was coming to an end. Even though both were greatly injured, the Demon King belonging to the Xander faction was coming out victorious.

However, it was at this moment that Rhea's faction arrived and completely transformed the state of the battlefield!
