A Demon's Journey

Chapter 406 - Soul Reading Technique



Azaroth stared at the massive number of beasts charging at him. Since he was flying, only a few beasts could strike him physically.

The rest launched their attacks at him from the ground. They approached him to decrease the distance between Azaroth and them so that their attacks could reach Azaroth.

The Cyan Leopard had also launched some wind blasts at Azaroth. Those wind blasts were actually the exclusive techniques that belonged to this Cyan Leopard.

These Wind Blasts were launched by the Cyan Leopard through its mouth. As these wind blasts flew forward, they would take the nearby wind along, and the attack would grow stronger.

Azaroth suddenly disappeared from his spot. He wasn't stupid enough to take on the attack of so many beasts.

All these attacks were weak, but as they say, there is strength in numbers. Even he would be injured if he took all these attacks head on.

The beasts who were charging at him were somewhat startled. To them, it felt as though Azaroth had disappeared from his spot.

Only dozens of beasts could follow Azaroth's movement. Only the Crimson Furred Chimpanzee and the Cyan Leopard reacted quickly out of these beasts.

The Chimpanzee and the Leopard immediately moved from their spots and climbed the trees nearest to their positions quickly.

They kept their eyes fixated on Azaroth and noticed how he was moving towards the beasts on the ground.

Azaroth threw a ball of pure ice energy towards the beasts gathering beneath him.

That ball of pure ice continued to levitate within that gathering of the beasts before it suddenly burst apart.

It released unreal Ice Energy that targeted all the beast races around it. It also released sharp Ice Shards that struck many beasts in the area.

Even the beasts that boasted of their defense couldn't help but cry out in pain as those cold Ice Shards struck their bodies.

The Chimpanzee and the Cyan Leopard were quickly moving towards the tree nearest to Azaroth's spot so that they could pounce on him and throw him to the ground.

The two were confident that they would win if Azaroth was on the ground. Their numbers would ensure that.

The Red Furred Chimpanzee was using the Earth Ardor to strengthen its physique. However, there was also a trace of metal Ardor within its bloodline.

The Bloodline of the Red Furred Chimpanzee allowed him to innately fuse these two elements and launch an extremely strong physical attack.

Meanwhile, the Cyan Leopard released Wind Ardor and created a strong barrier around it. The Wind Ardor moved around the Cyan Leopard's body rapidly.

If someone approached the Cyan Leopard now, they would be struck by the countless wind currents around the Cyan Leopard's body.

This was a technique created by the Cyan Leopard.

Azaroth sensed these two beasts approaching him with these attacks. He raised his right arm and caught the Red Furred Chimpanzee's attack.

The Red Furred Chimpanzee's physical attack that resulted from fusing two different elements was quite strong, but Azaroth's physical strength was also exceptional. Azaroth was much stronger, so he could easily block that attack!

He moved that Red Furred Chimpanzee and struck the Cyan Leopard approaching him.

The Red Furred Chimpanzee was struck by those countless wind currents, but it had to endure the attack since its body continued to move and struck the Cyan Leopard.

The Cyan Leopard and the Red Furred Chimpanzee were thrown in different directions. The two crashed against trees and couldn't help but growl when staring at Azaroth.

The Blizzard got denser as the two beasts were startled when they noticed that they could no longer see Azaroth.

Not just these two beasts, but the other beast races were also flabbergasted when they realized that their target had disappeared.

Azaroth thought 'Time to end this façade. I have tested these beasts enough. There is no beast worthy of my attention.'

The Blizzard was soon mixed with the Absolute Ice. As soon as that occurred, all the beasts caught in this blizzard felt cold ice freezing their bodies from inside out.

After half an hour, all the beasts were frozen. Their blood circulation had stopped, and they were all about to die.

The only beasts that survived right now were the Beast Lords. And even they were at taking their final breaths. They could survive till now because their bloodlines and Ardor were overexerting themselves to save these beasts.

But it was all for naught since the Ice around them wasn't going to vanish.

Azaroth soon walked towards each of these beast lords and used the Soul Reading Technique.

The first beast whose soul he read was that Red Furred Chimpanzee. He was disappointed that this Chimpanzee wasn't the lord of these beast races.

However, from this Chimpanzee, he found out that the Cyan Leopard was the lord of these beast races.

He went over to the Cyan Leopard's spot and read its memory. He naturally saw the deal between the Cyan Leopard and the Night Mountain Sect's envoy.

That conversation indicated that the Night Mountain Sect possessed the Sabertooth Tiger's Tooth. The aura they presented unquestionably belonged to the Sabertooth Tiger from the ancient era.

'It would be useful to Ralph. Maybe I can even use this Sabertooth Tiger's tooth to stimulate and evolve his bloodline. Well, well, coming here was a good decision.'

Azaroth had a smile on his face as he turned around and dispersed the blizzard. No one outside of the blizzard could have known what went on inside.

Azaroth returned to the camp and ordered Zena along with the two Frozen Spirit Foxes, "Gather all the bodies of these beasts when the ice melts."

He then focused on the two Frozen Spirit Foxes and further spoke, "Make sure to absorb the laws of Ice while you are there. It would be greatly helpful to you."

The Frozen Spirit Foxes came forward and rubbed their heads against Azaroth's legs. They were very excited to hear this order.

Azaroth was in utter ecstasy during this moment, and he found it hard to control his emotions. The number of beasts he had slaughtered wasn't few in number.

Moreover, their strength was also quite good. His cultivation technique had automatically gathered the souls of the beasts he killed.

These souls converted into the pure Demonic Ardor he required to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Breathing Technique.

Azaroth could feel that he was touching the barrier between the 5 Star Warrior and the 6 Star Warrior. However, he was still missing something to pass that barrier.

He focused a bit and questioned Bianca 'How is it going?'

Bianca responded a second later 'Master, I have begun to poison the drinkable water of the people and the food they ingest as well. A week later, this poison will begin to show its effects.'

Azaroth was satisfied with her response and spoke 'That's good. I will have Josephine ready the countermeasure. Your task would be to ensure that it doesn't face any difficulties within Mesenana City.'

'As you command, my lord,' Bianca responded with a submissive attitude.

Josephine was Jonas Rhodes's beloved wife. She possessed a great influence within the Rhodes Family, and no one had even begun to suspect her.

She could easily go out of her way and hire some mercenaries or a small organization that would spread some rumors favorable to her.
