A Demon's Journey-Chapter 520 Heavenly Concealing Array
The Archangel's scream caught everyone off-guard, including Aeshma and Esther. The two Archangels held their God-Ranked Weapons tightly as they gazed at the dark energy surrounding their comrade.
That dark energy had a deathly aura and seemed extremely menacing. They were so taken aback by the death aura that they overlooked Lennard and Bryon's bodies slipping from their Radiant Energy's hold.
The Archangels instantly concluded that this dark energy was the work of a terrifying Demon. They searched for the source of this dark energy and soon found it.
This dark energy was emerging from a distance. And the one releasing it was none other than a demon at the Demon King rank.
The Archangels were taken aback since they couldn't fathom how a Demon King could control deathly energy. Controlling death energy needed a thorough understanding of death laws. A Demon King couldn't have such deep insight into death laws.
Meanwhile, Azaroth was sweating nervously as he released his Demonic Domain. He couldn't remain on standby and let these two humans die. Their lives were very crucial for his future plans.
However, Azaroth knew that he couldn't set up a large-scale Deathly Array through normal means. Thus, he had a single option left. It was to release his Demonic Domain and set up the Instantaneous Deathly Array and kill two Archangels.
Unfortunately, the Archangels had already deployed their domains. Thus, it became very challenging for Azaroth's Death Aura to kill a single Archangel.
Azaroth had exhausted nearly 30% of the Deathly Aura he had gathered in that last attack. Moreover, he was already highlighted, and these Archangels were sure to target him.
Azaroth went with the best choice he had. He dashed at full speed! He wasn't without a plan.
In the previous few weeks, Azaroth had built up some teleportation arrays in the previous few weeks as a last-ditch escape plan.
However, he wanted to use it after starting a battle between the Demon Emperors and the Archangels. Only then could he enjoy the greatest benefits.
But the Demon Emperors were using the Serene Ghost Demon Emperor's skills to hide in the shadows and observe the battle. Azaroth had already detected the two through his Mystic Eyes of Perception, but the Archangels hadn't accomplished that.
Azaroth had to make the Archangels detect these two Demon Emperors and divert their target.
This was easier said than done. But still, Azaroth dashed in their direction and launched a tremendous quantity of Hell Flames.
These Hell Flames completely enveloped the area where the Demon Emperors were hiding. Azaroth burned that entire location so that the Archangels could easily find them.
When the Demon Emperors noticed what Azaroth was attempting, they immediately shot a Demonic Beam to kill him.
The Demonic Beam struck Azaroth's body, and he fell down shortly after. However, launching this attack completely revealed the Demon Emperors to the Archangels' eye.
Glancing at these Demon Emperors, Esther's blood boiled with anger. She shouted, "You two again?! I won't let you escape this time!"
The Demon Emperors weren't stupid. They knew that a fight was imminent now that their location had been revealed. They immediately activated their respective domains and charged toward the Archangels.
During their last battle, the Demon Emperors were severely underestimating the Archangels. Moreover, during the time he was sealed, the Yin Devouring Demonic Emperor had learned some new skills.
The same was true for Serene Ghost Demonic Emperor. They were ready for round two of their battle!
As their terrifying battle began, the two parties failed to notice the disappearance of Azaroth's corpse. In fact, not just Azaroth's body but Lennard and Bryon's bodies had also disappeared.
At this moment, Azaroth was flying while holding onto Lennard and Bryon's bodies. He was also using his Golden Flames to heal the two.
However, Azaroth controlled the rate of healing and prevented them from recovering too quickly. If they recovered any more of their strength, his plan would fail, and he would definitely die.
Azaroth flew through a Teleportation Array to get some distance away from this battlefield. He was curious to not leave behind any traces and made sure to destroy the Teleportation Array from his side. He couldn't have anyone else follow him from this Teleportation Array. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
On this side, Azaroth had set up a massive black cauldron that seemed to contain a rather dense purple liquid. This liquid was boiling hot as Azure Flames lit underneath this cauldron.
Before Lennard and Bryon could comprehend the purpose of this pot, Lennard was thrown directly into it!
Azaroth used his Golden Flames to suppress Bryon's Ardor and restrained him before tossing him nearby. He had restrained Lennard as well by using his Golden Flames before he was thrown into the cauldron. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ
Screams of Lennard resounded in the area as he kept yelling for help, "S-SSSSssaaAAAAVVVEEEE MEEEE!!"
Unfortunately, no one could hear his screams in this area. Azaroth had a bone-chilling smile as he stared at the cauldron and controlled the temperature of his Azure Flames.
The Azure Flames burned fiercely, and Lennard's entire body completely dissolved with the purple liquid.
Once Lennard had completely dissolved with the liquid, Azaroth controlled the purple liquid and pulled it out of the cauldron. He also released more of his Azure Flames and burned that purple liquid.
Azaroth noticed the clouds turning black and snorted in disdain, "I was prepared for you all this time."
"Heaven Concealing Array!" Dark energy shot out of the ground from near Azaroth's surroundings, and it completely covered a small area around Azaroth.
Not even the sun's rays could pierce that area. In that dark area, Azaroth could see only through the light released from his Azure Flames.
This array allowed a certain area to hide from the heaven's senses for a short period.
Azaroth planned to complete the concoction of this thing before his Heavenly Concealing Array would lose effect. He used numerous streams of Red Lightning to swiftly fuse everything together.
After nearly seven hours of concoction, Azaroth let out a breath of relief as the concoction had finally come to an end.
He ended up with three purple pellets that had nine stripes on it. Nine stripes indicated a perfect pellet that had gained spiritual awareness and withstood heavenly tribulations.
Fortunately, Azaroth's Red Lightning had the same effect as the heavenly tribulations and allowed him to form perfect pellets.
"…What a strange yet terrifying aura these pellets have?! Should I really ingest it?" Azaroth wondered.
He didn't want to ingest a pellet in Bryon's presence. If he lost consciousness, Bryon would soon recover and be free to do whatever he wanted to do with Azaroth.
And Azaroth didn't have chains that could hold Bryon for long.
'Killing him will make the battle end in the Archangels' favor. I can't have that. I need to keep the situation balanced,' Azaroth thought.
He decided to leave a trace of Golden Flames in Bryon's body that would heal him slowly and sent him to another location through his teleportation array.
This location was also far away from the true battlefield so Bryon could easily recover. Moreover, Azaroth also fed Bryon a pellet to allow him to recover his lost arm. The arm was recovered perfectly and Azaroth immediately left the area.
He cut-off the teleportation array from his side to prevent Bryon from coming here and taking revenge for Lennard.
