A Demon's Journey

All the warriors at the northern side of the encampment were slightly bewildered as they felt the entire ground rumble.

It surprised them because they shouldn't have been affected by the beasts' attack while they were in the barrier. It meant that the barrier was soon going to collapse.

Myles and some of his friends there gulped a mouthful of saliva as they looked on the other side of the barrier.

They witnessed a huge dust cloud rising in the air…

Typically, it signaled a storm or a massive army.

In this case, the Beast Horde was going forward, shaking the ground with their charge as they looked ready to tear apart all humans getting in their way.

The warriors on the Northern Side were shocked to see a Three-Eyed White Wolf leading these monsters.

"Shit! That's a 5 Star Beast! Let's send the information back to the headquarters."

They used the Echo Transmission Skill to send this information to the center of the encampment.

Azaroth was jolted awake as he heard that Echo. He was surprised that the Three-Eyed White Wolf had chosen to attack from the Northern direction.

'Before heading to the Kloras Town, was this beast analyzing how the warriors have been deployed in the four outposts? It probably chose the northern outpost because of the lowest number of remaining warriors there.'

"Send this Echo Transmission to all other outposts except the North. We must immediately prepare to slay those beasts." Azaroth handed a slip to a guard near him.

The person he was commanding was one of Sophie's guards. The man was slightly puzzled whether he should obey Azaroth's command or not. After all, he was also one of the Royal Guards, and his pride prevented him from following Azaroth's order.

However, after giving the order, Azaroth just fell back into his chair with that smirk on his face. He was just staring at that Blue Cyrstal Orb and didn't seem to care if the guard obeyed him or not.

Another guard spoke up, "This is not the time to let ego control you, Jake. Just do as young lord Edwin has spoken. Young miss might get angry at you that you didn't follow young lord Edwin's command when it could have prevented many casualties."

The guard named Jake let out a sigh before replying, "Alright." Suddenly, there was a fierce expression on his face as he added, "But do not think you are the boss of me!"

Azaroth waved off his right hand as he didn't care about it that much, "Whatever."

The words Azaroth had written on the slip were soon resounded in the East, West, and the Southern outposts.

"All warriors are ordered to move to the Northern Outpost. The final wave of this beast raid has attacked us from the Northern direction, so we must immediately prepare to counter it."

As the different outposts received this order, they gulped down their saliva nervously. They ingested some pills to recover their energy and began moving towards the Northern Outpost.

Azaroth stared at the Blue Crystal Sphere and whispered with a feeble voice, "The time has come…"

The Blue Crystal Sphere flashed with a bright light that blinded the other guards.

This Blue light kept everyone blinded for nearly a minute before a vermillion color emerged that dyed the sphere in its color.

Now, the Blue Crystal Sphere had converted to the Vermillion Colored Sphere.

The aura it gave off was simply too contradictory to the Blue Crystal Sphere that the guards observing Azaroth were wondering whether it was the same object or not.

"What did you do?!" The guard named Jake returned and asked Azaroth angrily as he saw how the Sphere had changed color.

"Calm down and let me do my job." Azaroth monotonously replied as he used this Vermillion Colored Sphere.

Meanwhile, outside the barrier, the beasts that had earlier gathered felt Earth rising up, preventing them from escaping.

As the beasts moved around and used their skills to break that Earth, a heavy rainfall sprinkled their bodies with water.

After some moments, reddish-colored thunder fell down the sky as if it was a heavenly judgement sent by the gods.

Due to the combination of the red thunder with the rain earlier, there were many casualties on the beast's side.

This same scenery had occurred around the entire encampment barrier, so all the warriors witnessed this moment.

This was the strength of the 5 Star Killing Array!

Just as the beasts felt that the attack on them had ended, there were multiple tornados all around the barrier.

This barrier naturally targeted the beasts and attempted to kill them by using its wind blades, but some beasts endured this attack with their elemental defense.

The beasts believed that if they survived this attack, they might have survived it all.

It was only when they saw a small flame spark transforming up that entire tornado to a flame tornado did they realize just how naïve they were.

After this attack, not a single beast around the barrier survived.

The Red Color of the Sphere faded as it returned back to being the Blue Colored Sphere.

The guards at the center of the encampment had also witnessed those colossal tornadoes that converted the beasts into ashes.

Even the Three-Eyed White Wolf had witnessed that entire attack sequence, and it could be said that he was pretty stunned.

From what he sensed, the Ardor within those attacks was comparable to a Mid to High Rank 5 Star Beast.

Moreover, the area those attacks covered was also quite wide…

The Three-Eyed White Wolf was sure that he wouldn't have been able to achieve the same with his own power.

The White Wolf used its Spiritual Eye to check the flow of energy of this barrier once again. He was surprised once again…

His surprise emerged from the fact that he saw so many Ardor particles bizarrely flowing in that barrier.

The last time he had observed the barrier, it possessed a uniform flow of energy.

As time passed, that atrocious flow of energy seems to be improving and returning back to normal.

"Monkey, go and attack!" The White Wolf ordered with a commanding tone.

It didn't mean that the beasts had stopped charging. This order meant that the White Wolf was commanding the Ape to go ahead of them with an even faster speed to attack that barrier.

The Ape didn't care much about the power it saw.

Soon, the hairs on its body turned Golden, and its speed increased tremendously.

It left the rest of the beasts in the dust as it charged ahead at the Barrier.

The human warriors at the Northern Outpost who witnessed that the beasts had still not halted their charge were slightly shocked, but they still retained their confidence in this barrier.

They had just witnessed its power after all.

Azaroth's sensory range was limited because of the barrier. After all, it didn't allow the Ardor from the outside to affect it, but it also prevented the sensors from sensing outside of it.

Azaroth had used this fact to sneak out of the barrier, but now, this was proving to be a disadvantage for him as well.

Suddenly, he felt the Blue Crystal Sphere shaking violently.

He was shocked because this meant that the beasts had attacked the barrier with at least a 5 Star Ardor attack. According to his estimates, this was just a low 5 Star Ardor in terms of power.

And Azaroth didn't know why but the image of that Golden Ape appeared in his head.

'The Bloodline of a Beast God is indeed extraordinary. If this was the attack from that Golden Ape, then it has grown much stronger since the time I fought it.' Azaroth grimly thought.

Meanwhile, at the Northern Outpost, the warriors saw that Golden Ape create a crack on the barrier with just a single punch. This was absolutely shocking for these warriors as they had seen many beasts attack the barrier earlier, but no one was even able to scratch it, yet this Golden Ape created such a giant crack on it.

However, just a while later, the Giant Crack closed up as the barrier healed. It allowed the warriors to breathe a sigh of relief.

Their faith in this barrier was restored as some of the warriors began shouting, "Hahaha… This is all useless. This barrier won't break!"

Meanwhile, Azaroth was thinking deeply about this situation 'I only sensed a single attack on the barrier. Does that mean this Golden Ape charged ahead of the other beasts? Was it on its own violation or on the command of the White Wolf?'

Azaroth had a relaxed look as he thought along that line.

'If this was on the White Wolf's command, then this White Wolf sure is much more intelligent than I gave him credit for. This Golden Ape will force me to use a lot of energy to force me to repair the barrier.'

A smirk appeared on Azaroth's face as he thought, 'How naive.'

Meanwhile, the Golden Ape pulled back his arm and used all its power to punch that barrier again.

There was a stupid grin on its face as it felt that pounding this barrier was quite satisfying.

The Golden Ape's arm moved at a blinding speed to hit the barrier.

This time though, it was as if the Golden Ape's punch went right through the barrier and continued to strike the ground!

As the human warriors saw this scene, they were too shocked to respond.

Did the Golden Ape's punch actually break that barrier?!
