A Demon's Journey

In Veninza City, Azaroth had readied various traps and all his warriors for a battle against the Dragon Tiger Palace.

The Dragon Tiger Palace's higher-ups were quite angry that the Origin Sect Branch had attacked the warriors while knowing that they belonged to the Dragon Tiger Palace.

This was an utter disregard for the Dragon Tiger Palace's prestige.

The Higher-Ups were wondering what they should do. Attack the Origin Sect Branch or try to talk to them.

This association was a democratic one. A president was elected among these higher-ups. He possessed great political powers, and his decisions were considered final.

However, when the topic was war, the president's power was just a bit greater than the other higher-ups of this association.

All the other higher-ups and elders had just voted their next course of action. They had decided to demolish the Origin Sect Branch.

It might seem slightly rash and rushed decision, but this event had struck the Dragon Tiger Palace's prestige.

This was the first time they had been assaulted in this manner. As a result, they had to exact their vengeance.

"The Origin Sect is demonstrating its might by using us. They may be seeking to grow in this city, I suppose. As a result, they didn't think twice about going up against our warriors. We must subdue them and teach them their proper positions! We shall remain the masters of Veninza City, no matter how arrogant they are."

"That's right, President!" One of the board members spoke up in agreement.

"How do we deal with them then? Should we send our Core Groups?" Another board member asked with a curious gaze.

"…We should send the other groups first. Sending the Core Groups from the start will show that we are giving too much attention to this lowly branch."

"Dealing with this kind of lowly branch should seem like child's play," The President spoke up.

"You are absolutely right, President. We can send our Beast Taming Groups," Another board member gave his suggestions.

The members of the Beast Taming Groups were Beast Tamers. They possessed special abilities that allowed them to tame different kinds of beasts.

These beasts would be controlled through the Spiritual Energy of these Beast Tamers. The stronger the Spiritual Energy of the Beast Tamer, the stronger the beast he could tame.

There were also individuals who preferred to tame weak monsters but gathered a large number of them, like taming a whole pack of wolves or a herd of deer and so on.

These were not very powerful creatures, but their combined might would be mind-boggling when assembled in great numbers.

A huge number of these warriors had been gathered into a group. This was the Beast Taming Group.

The Beast Tamers only had a single group, which could be considered the largest group community within the Dragon Tiger Palace.

Just dozens of warriors from this group could destroy an entire city. If the entire group was sent, they could take on the branch of a top sect.

If more groups were added to this Beast Taming Group, the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City was doomed.

The Main Branch of the Origin Sect had to send their reinforcements. But the Main Branch was quite far away, so by the time they reach Veninza City, the Origin Sect Branch would be no more.

In the evening, Azaroth received the report that hundreds of warriors were heading towards the Origin Sect Branch.

This information was quickly updated that thousands of individuals were heading towards the Origin Sect Branch.

Azaroth wasn't surprised since he had sensed this number already. He knew that many beasts were accompanying these warriors.

He let out a loud whistle. It resounded in the entire area. For a few seconds, silence dominated the surroundings before a sharp screech was heard.

Azaroth raised his head to look at the large Crimson Lightning Phoenix heading towards him.

This was Zena, who had now reached the 4 Star Rank in these last couple of months. She had always been near this area as she conquered the beasts around here.

Zena was being followed by all of the birds with a 4 Star Rank or lower. When compared to Zena's aura, they seemed to have a subservient aura. This was due to their submission to Zena.

Zena possessed the Bloodline of the Holy Phoenix. Its lineage could still subdue these creatures or birds, even if it was extremely young and hardly understood how to use its might.

There was no beast in the area with a bloodline that could compare to or surpass Zena's.

Zena soon diminished its size and immediately went to snuggle her body against Azaroth's cheeks.

She squealed in delight as she lightly struck Azaroth's face with her wings.

Azaroth patted her tiny body and remained quiet for some time.

He then spoke out, "Alright, that's enough reunion. I have a task for you, Zena."

Zena immediately began to fly in the air when she heard that Azaroth had a task for her.

"Many warriors and beasts are heading for this location. Accompany Noah and his group to stop them. Kill them all," Azaroth spoke calmly.

Zena nodded her head and flew in Noah's direction.

Azaroth then thought 'The Dragon Tiger Palace will probably become an angry hornet after this event.'

This was only natural since Azaroth was going to destroy one of their elite forces. There would be no turning back from that.

No compensation would make the Dragon Tiger Palace forgive the Origin Sect. Well, that's if they decide to support the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza City.

If this guess was right, the Dragon Tiger Palace should receive the Origin Sect's message by this evening.

The timing of the Dragon Tiger Palace receiving that message had to perfectly match with the destruction of this elite group.

Azaroth had noticed that there was a fragile peace between the organizations and the Sects within the Glerian Kingdom.

Shake up even a single one of them, and all would be affected. Some would be affected more, while others would be affected less.

This event would gather the attention of the Glerian Kingdom. During this moment, Sargan and Tiana could develop themselves without much issue.

Also, this event would allow Noah, Laura, and Ralph to lead their subordinates in battle. Their experiences would grow as they led their subordinates. Moreover, Azaroth would also be here to assist them.

Lastly, he would use Yrellea's Misty Flower Pavilion to eat the Dragon Tiger Palace from the inside.

If his warriors fought against Dragon Tiger Palace's warriors, the losses would occur on both sides.

Even if Azaroth's side wins by killing all the officials and warriors from the Dragon Tiger Palace, they won't earn anything much.

It was better if he could bring the talented officials to his side. They could be used in managing his subordinates and many other things.

Their skill in the administration would be useful since Azaroth didn't want to handle everything. If he did that, he wouldn't be able to give more time to important things.

In a sense, Noah, Laura, and Ralph's factions were fighting against the Dragon Tiger Palace on the surface. At the same time, Yrellea used her Misty Flower Pavilion to gather information and poach talents from the Dragon Tiger Palace.

Azaroth was planning to eat this Dragon Tiger Palace from inside out.
