A Demon's Journey

The Sinyalian Kingdom and the Lamhilhan Theocracy were created, while some northern parts became the territories of the Alinginian Kingdom and the Jorailian Kingdom.

The Arctic Summit now prevented the Glerian Kingdom from having any involvement with the North. Not a single man, including a 6 Star Warrior, could cross that mountain range. This was how terrifying the height of this mountain was.

There were Beast Emperors that resided near the summit of this mountain range. On average, each Mountain Peak had a Beast Emperor guarding it. This meant there were nearly seven Beast Emperors on this Arctic Mountain Range!

These Beast Emperors never left their spot because of the high-quality Spiritual Ardor they received directly from the Ice Vein in the ground.

The more they absorbed, the denser their Ardor became, and they could gain insight into Ice Laws. Even their bloodlines improved after consistent exposure to this energy from the Ice Vein.

Most of them went into hibernation and would wake up once in a hundred years before digesting the entire energy. And go to sleep again. These Beast Emperors had been following this cycle for nearly a thousand years.

The Royal Family of the Glerian Kingdom was aware of the Beast Emperors and decided to formulate a strategy to deal with them.

Finally, they determined that after the age of 600 years, each 7 Star Warrior of the Royal Family would retire from the throne and hibernate within a unique casket within the Royal Cemetery.

This coffin was infused with Ice Laws, which drastically delayed the aging process. Despite the fact that these two had been sealed for thousands of years, they had visibly aged by a year or two.

In fact, 600 years of age wasn\'t considered very long among the Emperor Ranked Experts. This would be considered late middle-age for them.

The two warriors who stepped out of the casket in the Glerian Kingdom\'s Royal Cemetery had a mixture of black and grey hair.

Their face resembled King Tryfon Rellas significantly. In fact, the two who stepped out seemed to be twins of each other.

The two men who stepped out from these caskets were directly related to each other. They were father and son.

After their demise, no one managed to advance to the 7 Star Rank.

In their respective generations, these two warriors were the Monarch of the Glerian Kingdom. They had a calm look along with a dignified aura that made King Tryfon Rellas kneel to them in respect.

"What is the emergency, descendent?" The man on the left spoke. His name was Bryon Rellas.

Tryfon Rellas replied almost immediately, "The current Glerian Kingdom faces an unprecedented threat from two kingdoms. Moreover, one of them is coming at us with Archangels."

"Archangels? Celestials dare to attack my kingdom… How impudent!" The man on the right spoke with an arrogant expression. His name was Lennard Rellas.

From his words, Tryfon Rellas got the feeling that his ancestor had slaughtered many Celestials during his era.

"Son, calm down. You shouldn\'t look down on the Celestials. They have a God-Ranked Expert as their leader," Bryon Rellas chided his son Lennard.

But Lennard snorted in response, "The Radiant God doesn\'t care about the Radiant Church. In my time, he didn\'t. I slaughtered nearly six Archangels of the Radiant Church, but he never made his move against me."

"The situation might be slightly different. It\'s because I can sense three Archangels approaching the Royal Capital," Bryon spoke rather calmly.

"What?!" Both Tryfon and Lennard were startled to hear this information. It made them understand that Bryon\'s sensory skills were probably off the charts.

Tryfon Rellas spoke out with his eyes widened in disbelief, "No way! How can the Archangels enter the Capital so quickly?! They declared war on us just yesterday!"

Lennard responded with a sneer, "These filthy Celestials had already infiltrated the Kingdom before they declared war on the Kingdom!"

Lennard then looked in Bryon\'s direction and spoke, "Let\'s go, father. We should intercept them and take them far away from the Capital before fighting them!"

Bryon suddenly bonked his son\'s head and spoke with a dignified expression, "Idiot. Your head is full of nonsense! All you think of is fighting! We should approach them and ask them the reason behind this war! Didn\'t I always tell you to use violence only when the dialogue fails?!"

"Yeah, yeah, father," Lennard responded casually before the two flew towards the incoming Archangels.

Tryfon Rellas followed them at his top speed. The two were flying at a rather low speed to get used to their Ardor.

The laws had changed slightly while the two were hibernating, but fortunately, the change wasn\'t too great.

Bryon and Lennard suddenly absorbed various laws from nature to regain their past strength. Their physique instantly recovered to when they were at their peak. Their spirits were instantly activated, and the two released a dense aura that startled the incoming Archangels.

Their absorption of laws actually destabilized the laws in the Glerian Kingdom. Only Azaroth sensed this change as he used his Mystic Eyes of Perception to observe the change.

He knew something major had occurred. The laws in the Glerian Kingdom had become weaker.

Meanwhile, the three Archangels came to a sudden halt as they saw Bryon and Lennard approaching them.

"What are you doing here?" Before Lennard could speak, Bryon asked these three Archangels rather curiously.

It was Esther who replied, "The Glerian Kingdom is housing too many demons and heretics. As a result, he\'s decided to put it under his authority and prevent any further demons from surfacing!"

In reality, this was just a pretext for the Lamhilhan Theocracy to attack the Glerian Kingdom. The true reason was that the Radiant God was furious upon learning that a Celestial had stolen his Faith Energy. He also knew that this Celestial\'s true body resided in the Glerian Kingdom.

​ However, the Radiant God couldn\'t search the Glerian Kingdom for Azaroth without giving a proper reason. And he didn\'t want to reveal that a half-celestial had managed to steal his Faith Energy. That would be rather embarrassing!

Moreover, the Radiant God noticed that the situation of the Glerian Kingdom was not good. It would easily collapse if they attacked the Glerian Kingdom at this moment.

"What nonsense is this?! You are actually using such stupid reasoning for this war?!" Lennard couldn\'t hold himself back any longer.

He instantly activated his Bloodline Energy before attacking these Archangels.

The Archangels immediately pulled out their respective Holy Weapons that were imbued with Light Energy!

Burnished Obsidian Light Longsword, Moonlit Glass Sword, and Judgement Trident! Judgement Trident was of a superior rank among these weapons and held an impressive set of abilities.

One of its abilities was to use the power of Faith Energy to instantly gain a tremendous amount of power.

Thus, even though Lennard managed to push away two Archangels who utilized Burnished Obsidian Light Longsword and Moonlit Glass Sword, he couldn\'t move Esther, who was holding the Judgement Trident.

"Attack him now!" The Judgement Trident shone once again, and multiple chains of Light Ardor were released that now held Lennard in place.
