A Demon's Journey

Chapter 57 - Escape

Azaroth and the succubus were on the stairs that led to Laura's location where she was imprisoned.

While on their way, the succubus tried to strike up a conversation with Azaroth.

"I am Yrellea. What's your name, handsome?"

Azaroth ignored her question and just went on forwards. There were guards in their way again but he noted that there was no 5 Star Warrior.

'It seems that my plan worked. All the 5 Star Warriors are now following Sir Ashton.'

Sir Ashton was a 5 Star Warrior and he had also brought many experts from the Merchant Union. To not appear weak, the Silent Death Organization had to have atleast the same number of elite warriors to keep an eye over them.

Currently, the strongest experts down below were 4 Star Warriors. And in Azaroth's Heavenly Demon Transformation, he could bully them as long as they didn't possess a special ability that could deal with Hell Flames.

But special abilities that could deal with Hell Flames were rare. So no one could stop Azaroth at this moment.

As Yrellea saw Azaroth use his Hell Flames to burn the guards, her body couldn't help but heat up.

'He is such a strong man. His dominating aura… Just how exhilarating will it be to be dominated by him?'

Yrellea licked her lips with anticipation. She was getting horny as she saw those Purple Flames.

Meanwhile, Azaroth continued to ignore the succubus. He had other plans in taking her along with him.

And these plans didn't include socializing or getting chummy with her.

Soon enough, they reached the 5th basement floor where Laura was entrapped.

The door opened and Laura was shocked to see Azaroth clad in his complete Demonic Aura. It was so thick that she couldn't even see his face.

"A demon?! What are you doing here?!" Laura exclaimed out as she saw Azaroth and then that succubus behind him.

Instead of replying, Azaroth dispersed the Demonic Aura around him and showed his face to Laura.

Before Laura could ask another question, he dauntingly spoke, "I will explain later. First, we need to get out of here."

Laura swallowed the questions inside of her as she felt that demonic aura disappeared to nothingness. She remembered that this was the guy whose spiritual imprint she saw yesterday.

She then began to think deeply about whether she should accept assistance from someone using Demonic Ardor. If her mother came to know about it then she would definitely be very angry at Laura.

Azaroth understood her worries and reassured her, "I am a human. There is a special reason why I can use this power. I promise to tell it to you once we get out of here."

That soft tone from Azaroth somewhat relieved Laura and she finally nodded, "Okay. Let's first get out of here."

Meanwhile, Yrellea was somewhat surprised as she felt that demonic aura disperse. It was to such an extent that she couldn't feel the demonic aura from this man ahead of her.

Also, when she saw his face, she recalled that he was the same man who had seemingly refused to buy her a few days ago.

A smile appeared on her face as she thought that he had also fallen under her charm.

A sword appeared in Azaroth's hand as he cut open the bars.

Laura ran towards Azaroth as if she couldn't wait to get away from this place.

Once she was close to him, Azaroth placed his hand over her head.

When Yrellea saw this scene, she thought Azaroth was merely petting this Elf.

Now that she seriously glanced at this elf, she saw her body and found out that it wasn't inferior at all to her.

In fact, those long beautiful golden locks and then gentle green eyes, along with her exceptionally pretty face. It seemed to perfectly fit with her voluptuous body…

Even as a succubus, she felt a sense of inferiority when comparing her own body to this woman.

Laura also didn't understand why Azaroth was gently patting her head. She somewhat disliked it because she felt that he was treating her like a child.

But soon, she could sense her Ardor again.

Her Spiritual Core was unsealed!

When she gazed at Azaroth, she looked shocked since he had just broken a sealing ability cast by a formation grandmaster.

Did that mean he was older than he looked?

That was the conclusion she arrived at.

Laura then gazed at Yrellea. She had a beautiful face and a sexy body that could arouse just about any man in the world.

"Can you use your Earth Abilities to create a tunnel for us to run away?" Azaroth asked Laura as he was unsure about her abilities.

Controlling the wood and the ground was a basic ability for any elf. Let alone a Royal Elf. But still, he had seen too many things and knew that expectations could betray him at any point.

If she couldn't, he would have to use his other method to escape. Although riskier, it was the only other method with which he would have some good chance of success.

Fortunately, Azaroth's expectations didn't betray him today.

Laura proudly nodded her head as she extended her arm, "It's a piece of cake!"

As a 4 Star Elf, Laura was quite powerful in her own regard.

As she used some of her ability, the three were seemingly swallowed by the ground.

Azaroth knew that he wouldn't be able to survive under the ground because of low air so he quickly said to Laura, "Just get us above the ground nearly 500 meters away from this spot."

He stopped speaking after giving those instructions. There was still some air in the dome-like cavity underneath the ground so he could use it.

Laura and Yrellea weren't as troubled by the lack of air since they were of different species. Laura could easily extract the resources needed by the aura through the ground while Yrellea was a demon so she didn't need to breathe at all.

After nearly 20 or so minutes, the three saw the blue sky again. Although Azaroth's face showed that he was normal but in reality, his body was about to collapse from the lack of air.

Azaroth took some deep breaths of fresh air as soon as he was out of that tunnel.

"Good," Azaroth spoke that word unconsciously.

Laura had a rather delighted look as she looked at the clear sky. It had been more than a month since she saw this scenery.

While she was gazing at her surroundings with a curious glint in her eyes, Azaroth spoke with a commanding aura, "We can't stay here for too long. We need to leave now. Grab me with all your might. Make sure to not let go of me."

Laura immediately hugged Azaroth from behind while Yrellea grabbed Azaroth's right arm.

Azaroth felt two pairs of breasts pressing his body. Two were pressing him on his back while the other two on his right arm.

The pair of breasts on his back appeared to be very soft and squishy. As for the breasts pressed against his arm, he could feel the erect nipples from them.

Without any more thinking, Azaroth used quick successive Phantom Steps to run.

His speed was so great that Laura and Yrellea's feet didn't even touch the ground. They were actually flying while Azaroth ran forward.

Their hold tightened as Yrellea's nails had unconsciously dug into Azaroth's right arm while she kept a strong hold over him.

Meanwhile, some vines seemed to have completely tied him to Laura so she couldn't fall off.

Laura had done this just now because she realized that she had underestimated his speed. If not for how strongly she had been holding him, she would have definitely slipped by now.

Azaroth increased his speed some more as he was at some distance from the Market now.

Although many people must have seen him running away, he was sure that none of them must have caught sight of his face.

Even if the Silent Death Organization and the Merchant Union came to question them, there should be no one who could give his name.

As for Azaroth's current destination, it was the forest near Wrihull City.

This was the best destination to lose any pursuers who might follow his tracks later.

Once Azaroth stepped into the forest, Laura was rather happy. As an Elf, she had a warm feeling whenever she was near trees.

Even though she didn't receive a boost in terms of martial ability, the emotional stability this forest provided her was quite good as well.

After running for nearly half an hour at his top speed, Azaroth finally stopped.

This was near the location where he left behind his totem. If the Silent Death Organization and the Merchant Union manage to track him to this position then he planned on his using Totem to destroy them.

Although its offensive use wasn't unrivaled; however, it should be enough to deal with individuals at merely Demon Lord Level. And if he pushed it then even killing an early Demon King Level Warrior isn't going to be a huge problem.

Once the three stopped, Azaroth first turned towards Laura and then towards Yrellea. He pulled his arm away from her grasp and somewhat frowned as he saw that Yrellea's nails had dug deep in his arm.

He suddenly felt his heart pumping blood rather quickly. His temperature was rising and he felt like vomiting.

'Disease? Impossible. Disease won't work on my body so quickly. Then this can only be poison.'

Azaroth made a calm deduction amidst these symptoms.

When he gazed at Yrellea, there was a glint of killing intent in his eyes.

He now understood why he couldn't sense anything exceptional from this Succubus. Her true ability wasn't the ability of the Succubus to give pleasure to any man but the Ten Thousand Poisonous Body!

Azaroth quickly chopped her neck and made her unconscious.

Laura was surprised to see this happen.

'Aren't they partners? Why did he strike her?'

Azaroth didn't have the time to explain as he closed his eyes and concentrated deeply.

Most of these poisons appeared to be demonic poisons. And Azaroth possessed the perfect weapon to deal with any demonic poison.

Holy Ardor illuminated Azaroth's body as it began to obliterate any sort of poison in him.

Meanwhile, Laura who stopped next to him and observed Azaroth rather quietly felt blown away as she saw that Holy Ardor!

'Such dense Holy Ardor?! It's nearly as dense as that Demonic Ardor I saw on him in the prison?! Just who is this guy?!'

After a couple of minutes, Azaroth had finally cleared his body of nearly all the poisons.

It was a good thing that Azaroth was training his body by using the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique or else, he won't have been able to persist until now. He would probably have turned unconscious and would be unable to concentrate and annihilate this poison.

Azaroth opened his eyes and calmly stared at Laura, "Sorry to make you wait for so long."

As he stood up on his feet, Laura felt a calm yet oppressive air around her.

'Such pressure that can even overwhelm my Royal Aura? Truly, just what is his identity? Is he one of those people mother told me to watch out for? A Royal Prince of the Great Qin Empire?'
