A Demon's Journey

Chapter 528 The Sinyalian Kingdom's Situation

A week passed by in the blink of an eye. The situation in the Sinyalian Kingdom changed significantly!

There was news that David Vermillion had successfully advanced to the 6 Star Rank! Moreover, after reaching the 6 Star Rank, he triggered a heavenly phenomenon of the Flame Phoenix Avatar above the Royal Palace.

The entire Royal Palace was blessed with a divine light from that Flame Phoenix Avatar. It was considered an auspicious omen.

Once David Vermillion was out of the Secret Royal Treasury, King Valliadis declared him the next king. He immediately began to process to pass the crown.

By the end of this one week, the process of passing the crown to David would be complete. And on the final day, King Valliadis planned to sacrifice himself and utilize that Saint Stele!

Shun promised King Valliadis that he would never let anyone harm David or the Sinyalian Kingdom. He felt rather guilty at making King Valliadis sacrifice his life like that, but he didn't have a choice.

Shun thought 'If I could be assured of your destruction, I would, in public interests, accept my demise.' It indicated that if Shun could be assured of the Demon God's death, he was willing to sacrifice his life in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, his death wouldn't result in the Demon God's demise. He had to use this wretched method to ensure that Demon God's death!

It hurt his pride and conscience, but Shun felt that the world's safety was a much greater cause.

The Emissaries of Clyranis remained on standby as they gathered all information regarding the Radiant Church. They were startled to hear that the Archangels had been repelled by the Glerian Kingdom, not once but twice!

Moreover, one of those angels possessed a God-Ranked Weapon, yet they were vanquished! It was a shocking piece of information.

This information caused chaos, not just on Frascoia Continent but also in Heavens! Not that a God-Ranked Weapon was without a master, it could be considered up for sale!

Although it was challenging to find the master of a God-Ranked Weapon, the high population of the Angels and Archangels made this seemingly impossible mission feasible.

The Radiant God would be willing to sell it for the right price.

In any case, the fact that an Archangel wielding a God-Ranked Weapon had been slain on Frascoia Continent was top news!

More importantly, the Radiant God kept his mouth shut about how his subordinate perished! He appeared to be concealing something from them!

He had a specific reason for concealing that information from them. He didn't want other Celestial Gods to focus on the situation in the Glerian Kingdom and find out about Azaroth's existence.

Azaroth was a treasure trove that the Radiant God wished to enjoy alone. The Radiant God was sure that he would gain immensely if he managed to read Azaroth's soul.

If nothing else, he would understand how Azaroth could utilize Celestial Ardor and Demonic Ardor at the same time.

The Radiant God didn't try holding onto the Divine Zither. Instead, he exchanged this weapon with another weapon that was rather compatible with one of the Archangels working under him.

The weapon he received was Twin Daggers. One was of Lightning Element, while the other was the Flame Element. Holy Lightning Blaze Twin Dagger!

He passed this twin dagger to his subordinate and allowed her to proceed with the Blood Ceremony. The Blood Ceremony was basically when the weapon was placed in a container full of the client's blood.

After the Blood Ceremony, the individual's compatibility with the said weapon would be tested and known.

3 days later, the Blood Ceremony came to an end. The Holy Lightning Blaze Twin Dagger had chosen its new master. The compatibility turned out to be nearly 89%.

This was extremely high compatibility. Typically, the compatibility wouldn't break through the 67% mark.

Aeshma was an exception, as her compatibility with Divine Zither was nearly 91%.

In any case, the Radiant God was delighted to have another Archangel who could utilize a God-Ranked Weapon.

This Archangel hadn't joined the battle in the Glerian Kingdom earlier. However, this time, she was going to accompany Esther and lay waste to that kingdom.

Nearly four days later, a team of three Archangels charged out of the Lamhilhan Theocracy. This time, hundreds of Angels followed them as they rushed towards the Glerian Kingdom.

Even the Radiant Church's fanatics within the Lamhilhan Theocracy followed the Angels and Archangels in their attack on the Glerian Kingdom.

Around the same time, David Valliadis became the new ruler of the Sinyalian Kingdom, and the former King Valliadis vanished into thin air.

Only David and Shun knew his precise location. He was in a secret chamber of the Royal Family, right underneath the Royal Palace.

At this moment, King Valliadis was activating the Saint Stele through an Ancient Ceremony.

Shun remained near King Valliadis as he observed the ceremony. King Valliadis was laying down an array by spilling his Royal Blood on the ground. It was a rather pitiful sight to see a valiant king being reduced to such a state.

However, Shun noticed the Saint Stele glowing a bit. He was relieved to see that the method was working.

While this was going on, a group of Inquisitors led by Inquisitor Cat charged into the Glerian Kingdom. Accompanying these masked individuals was a rather handsome youth that held a cold expression.

This was none other than Tronte and his team. Inquisitor Cat was one of his agents, and he used her to recruit more Inquisitors ever since King Valliadis's power had weakened.

He possessed a great intelligence network in the Sinyalian Kingdom and a large set of resources. It didn't take much effort to convince these Inquisitors to pledge their allegiance to him.

They easily passed the Glerian Kingdom's security since it was rather lax after the Lamhilhan Theocracy declared war.

The Glerian Kingdom couldn't focus on both sides. Thus, they decided to deal with an immediate issue. And in this scenario, dealing with the Lamhilhan Theocracy appeared to be more urgent and crucial.

The Angels and the Radiant Church's fanatics spread over the entire Glerian Kingdom. Their task was to take over the Glerian Kingdom's territory as quickly as possible.

The Glerian Kingdom was already suffering from a lack of troops because of their recent war against the Sinyalian Kingdom. They couldn't handle the Radiant Church's fanatics and the Angels at this moment.

King Tryfon Rellas did leave the Royal Palace with his trusted subordinates and killed any Angel or warrior that came to attack the Capital. It was his job to ensure that the Capital remained safe. Bryon had promised to deal with everything else.

Just as the Archangels were on their way to attack the Royal Palace, they were intercepted by the Demon Emperors.

These Demon Emperors seemed to have recovered from their injuries and even become a bit stronger. There were Demonic Emperor Ranked weapons in their hands.

The Yin Devouring Demon Emperor possessed a Deathly Scythe, while the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor possessed a Shadow Dagger.

The two parties began fighting. Unsurprisingly, the Archangels were the ones winning this battle. They easily suppressed the Demon Emperors through the use of their God-Ranked Weapons.

However, they didn't know that an Assassin was gazing at this battlefield from afar with a deadly glint in his eyes.
