A Demon's Journey

Chapter 534 A Terrifying Ultimatum

The Radiant God's True Body soon flew into Frascoia Continent while keeping his eyes fixated on Azaroth.

He spoke with a rather content tone, "Never in my life did I expect to encounter the fabled devil god who influenced the Ancient War without having my life jeopardized."

"I am surprised you aren't putting me in chains," Azaroth responded calmly.

"There is no need to. I don't suppose you can escape me now that you are in this situation, right? I can sense that you reincarnated with merely your Spiritual Energy. It's not enough if you want to defeat me or surprise me, Devil God!" The Radiant God spoke with a rather calm and confident tone.

This confidence emerged from the massive gap between 6 Star Warrior and an 8 Star Warrior.

"… It's true that I can't defeat you. In my wide experience, I have never managed to surmount such a massive gap in power. As a Celestial God, I know that you merely need a thought to kill me. You can spread your world, and even this Death Domain won't protect me. It will be rewritten according to what you desire. This is because you are just that strong," Azaroth spoke with composure.

The Radiant God's True Body didn't seem to understand why Azaroth was still so calm. Just what trump card did he have now?

Azaroth then stared at Tronte, "But still, to think that your clone developed another personality in itself. I guess your cloning technique or method was flawed. You used a human as a medium and used your spirit to take over his mind. Let me guess, it was through that pendant your Radiant Church gives away, right?"

The Radiant God's True Body remained silent at that accusation. He didn't need to explain anything to either Tronte or Azaroth.

Tronte was him. And well, Azaroth wouldn't care about any explanation. But his silence and facial expressions confirmed Azaroth's guesses.

Azaroth smiled, "It has been a pleasure meeting you, Radiant God. It's time for you to scram."

"Pardon. I think I heard wrongly. You are asking me to scram?" The Radiant God's True Body appeared extremely surprised.

"That is what I just said. I am giving you ten seconds to think about it. Scram now, or you will die," Azaroth had a menacing smile on his face.

That smile actually startled the Radiant God, and he was forced to look around to check what was going on.

It took him 3-4 seconds to completely understand the situation. His face went pale, and he glared at Azaroth angrily, "Y-You! You devil!"

"That's what I am indeed," Azaroth acted as if it was great praise and seemed awfully pleased.

"…You set up your Death Laws around the Space Locking Array! You are planning to destroy the Space Locking Array." The Radiant God spoke with a terrified tone.

"Actually, you are wrong about that too. What makes you think we are under 'your' Space Locking Array?" Azaroth asked with a smile that suddenly seemed very terrifying and life-threatening.

Azaroth noticed the look of realization on the Radiant God's face, "You see, I could have destroyed your Space Locking Array when you laid it down. But then I wondered why you were utilizing such a high-level array. So, I didn't do anything at that point and made it look as if you managed to block me from using Space Laws. You caught my entire attention when you subtly laid a Summoning Array. I knew you would have to temporarily put down the Space Locking Array to activate the Summoning Array. To my surprise, it was your true body. So when you utilized the Space Locking Array, I destroyed it with one of my unique techniques and laid out my own. Ever since then, we have all been under 'my' Space Locking Array."

"What would occur if I were to put down my Space Locking Array? Hmm. Maybe you can tell me more about this. Since you were so careful, I assumed you were clearly aware of the implications," Azaroth spoke with a smile. That devilish smile made the Radiant God tremble with anger.

"…Thanks for confirming another guess of mine. I guess the result would be your death. This means that whoever this expert is, he can kill you from a distance. The second he senses your aura is on Frascoia Continent, he can kill you. Isn't that right?" Azaroth asked a rhetorical question.

Azaroth finished speaking by letting out a heavy sigh, "The growth of humans still astounds me. This Transcendent Saint must be truly terrifying to prevent you arrogant pricks from even revealing your aura on Frascoia Continent!"

The Radiant God had remained silent for quite some time. He finally opened his mouth and said, "It seems that I overestimated myself by thinking I could entrap you. You were playing with me all this time."

Azaroth faked his surprise and asked, "Really? How did you know?"

Regardless of his fake surprise, the Radiant God answered seriously, "If you could detect and lay a Space Locking Array instantly that even my true body didn't notice, then you could have easily utilized some assault arrays to kill my clone. But you didn't. Why?"

"Well, looks like you aren't so dumb, after all. You should have guessed my motive by now, right?" Azaroth asked.

"…You were digging for information. Either during the fight or abducting my clone and interrogating him," The Radiant God's True Body responded eventually.

"Bingo!" Azaroth spoke. He then quickly added, "Before you return, you should take along this baggage."

Azaroth was pointing towards Tronte while mentioning 'baggage.' Tronte didn't respond to the taunt. It seemed as though he was a mindless doll of the Radiant God.

Or maybe, Tronte's consciousness had already recombined with the Radiant God's.

"It seems I need to leave. Regardless, I am pleased to have personally met you, Devil God," The Radiant God spoke.

"When you come after me, keep in mind that if I don't flee when I'm in a horrible situation, maybe the situation isn't so terrible for me. You just cannot see the whole picture. I expect an improvement next time, Radiant God!" Azaroth spoke with a pleased smile.

Soon, the Radiant God returned to Heavens from the very portal he used to barge into Frascoia Continent.

Tronte soon lost consciousness and fell to the ground. His body turned into a complete paste as his bones were crushed to smithereens.

The Archangels were still fighting. They hadn't noticed the Radiant God's aura since the Space Locking Array prevented his aura from leaking out. However, they did see him come out of a portal before returning swiftly. They wondered what that was all about.

Azaroth knew that the time had come for him to disappear. The fight against Tronte had gone on long enough, and he gathered the attention of the Archangels and the human experts.

In a sense, both parties were after him. And he didn't want to allow them to succeed in their goal of capturing or killing him.

It would be embarrassing if he got killed by an Archangel after forcing the Radiant God to return to Heavens! That would be like defeating a champion but losing to a noob.

Azaroth actually didn't need to worry so much since the Archangels were actually on a losing end against the human experts. When they left the Cathedral in Lamhilhan Theocracy, they hadn't expected to fight two 7 Star Human Warriors. They were only expecting two Demon Emperors and had armed themselves appropriately with strong and potent demon suppressing equipment.

But they came across not one but two terrifying human experts. Both of these human experts were getting harder to deal with.

In fact, they noticed that fleeing from the Saber Emperor was impossible. He could ride his Flying Saber and swiftly pursue them. His flying sword flew nearly twice as quickly as any of the two Archangels.
