A Demon's Journey

Chapter 345 - The Silver Hawks' Report

When the King received news that the Dragon Tiger Palace had suffered such a huge loss, he was absolutely startled.

He remembered that the Demon was most probably in Veninza City. This might be his doing.

But then he shook his head in denial. From his deals with that demon, he knew that this guy was extremely smart.

He wouldn't attempt something so foolish that would force the King to act against him.

Leaving such a trail would allow the king to track him and kill him. The King might even acquire all the resources he possessed.

This would be a way too rash step for that cunning monster.

Moreover, there were also reports that the Dragon Tiger Palace suffered this disastrous loss due to their conflict with the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City.

However, it was too shocking that this Origin Sect Branch could make the Dragon Tiger Palace suffer such disastrous losses.

They had hidden themselves too deeply. Their foundations were absolutely shocking.

The King immediately ordered his loyal subordinates, "Investigate the other branches of the Origin Sect. I want to know whether they have been concealing their true strength. And by how much?"

He had to get the latest estimate of these sects for his own schemes that would involve all these sects' strength. And to create a great scheme, he had to get the most accurate information.

Unfortunately, the King hadn't guessed that Azaroth and the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City were in league.

If he had successfully guessed that, he would have placed more importance on the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City.

It would have halted Azaroth's brazen expansion of the Origin Sect Branch. At the least, he couldn't make any big moves through the Origin Sect Branch.

He would have to create another faction and make it famous from the very beginning.

The fact that the King wouldn't suspect him had already been calculated by Azaroth. That's why he dared to make such big moves in Veninza City.

Azaroth hadn't revealed any trace of demonic presence within the Origin Sect Branch. Thus, the King wouldn't suspect that the two were in league.

The Origin Sect wouldn't strike a deal with a demon. This was something the King knew very well.

They wouldn't dare to attempt that. There had been examples of those who tried and were purged down to their roots.

Even their children were massacred without any sympathy or compassion for their age and innocence.

The entire family had to shoulder the sins committed by the head of the family.

The King was sure that the elders in the Origin Sect Branch would never attempt anything like that. And if there was some demonic influence within the Origin Sect Branch, it would have reached him somehow.

However, the fire that burns without releasing smoke is the most dangerous.

This was exactly what was going in Origin Sect Branch. There were so many demons in this Origin Sect Branch that the King might stand up in shock.

However, this was merely a small part of the influence held by the Demon King Black Hurricane, who was currently the fourth prince of the Glerian Kingdom.

While he was considering how to deal with this issue, he suddenly saw his Voice Transmission Array Stone.

Not many individuals held the King's contact through his personal Voice Transmission Stone. The King immediately picked it up, "…"

"Your Majesty, it's me, the 3rd Commander of the Silver Hawks," The voice from the other side spoke.

The King recognized that voice and responded, "Yes. What is it?"

"Your Majesty, you mentioned the task of finding someone charismatic and strong who could form a strong religious influence within Lamhilhan Theocracy. I believe I have found an individual who fits these norms," He spoke with a serious tone.

The King was immediately interested in this individual and asked curiously, "Give me a brief profile of this individual."

"His family background is nothing impressive. In fact, he was considered trash until last year."

"Last year, he encountered a fortuitous event, and he unlocked his true talent. He reached the 3 Star Rank within 6 months. And now, nearly one whole year is about to pass since he encountered that fortuitous event, and he is on the verge of breaking through to the 4 Star Rank," The Third Commander of the Silver Hawks informed the king with a neutral tone.

The King was surprised to hear those words. To have reached the 4 Star Rank within a single year showed that this individual had encountered a rather great fortuitous event.

"What are his abilities, his fighting style, and his elements?" The King asked the next question a bit curiously and seriously.

"He appears semi-skilled in Alchemy, Enchantment, and Barrier-Creating Arrays. His fighting style focuses more on Spiritual Arts. He uses these Spiritual Arts to shake the rhythm of his opponents and launches a killer attack at that moment. His spiritual energy is so strong that even if the opponent keeps watch for that Spiritual Attack, he would still succeed."

The Third Commander of the Silver Hawks paused for a second to catch his breath before he continued, "Lastly, he seems to possess twin elements. The Ice Element and the Flame Element. Moreover, these two elements are unexpectedly strong and don't restrict themselves."

The King was quite surprised to hear the profile of this youth.

"What sort of fortuitous encounter was this? Did he get some ancient inheritance?" The King wondered out loud.

The Third Commander of the Silver Hawks responded neutrally, "That might be likely. I heard he was trapped in a cave by a specific gang in his hometown for one month. Once he returned, he slaughtered that gang, and his prestige within that town increased."

"Currently, this youth is traveling to the Night Mountain Sect and plans to take the trial to be accepted as the Outer Sect Disciple of that sect," The Third Commander of the Silver Hawks further informed the King.

"Give me a brief report on his personality," The King ordered coldly.

The report regarding this fellow soon began from the Third Commander's mouth, "He appears to be a kind and naïve individual who cares a lot about his family and comrades. I doubt he understands any deep schemes. He takes things at face value. There are rumors that the Governor's Daughter is quite interested in him even though he doesn't have a very handsome appearance."

The King was quite impressed by this information.

However, there was one last doubt that remained in his mind, "He is indeed a talented individual. But why do you believe he will be perfect for that mission?"

On the other side, he received a response in a neutral tone, "This man is stupidly naïve, but he can convince someone to join his team. He has created his own gang, and there are nearly 200 individuals. Four of them are stronger than him, yet they follow him with great devotion. Thus, I believe he would be perfect for this task."

"Interesting," The King spoke with a smile on his face.

"Very well, I will wait for any response from the other commanders of the Silver Hawk. After that, I will make my decision," The King said with a neutral tone.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

He wasn't planning to choose someone with haste. If someone even better was available, he would choose that individual.

"What is the name of this individual, though?" The King suddenly inquired.

"Dylan Ross."
