A Demon's Journey

The other warriors stood as their comrade was burned to death. It wasn't that they didn't try to save him.

They couldn't save him!

They had tried to reach out for him and even attacked Edwin but those attacks dispersed before even reaching Edwin.

They were far too weak compared to Edwin. His Triquetra Ardor gave him absolute supremacy over them.

Edwin was using only his Humane Ardor to fight them because he didn't wish to alert some warriors in Mesenana City who would take action upon sensing the Demonic or Celestial Ardor.

As he was roaming in Mesenana City, he had sensed the presence of multiple hidden experts checking for the presence of Demonic or Celestial Ardor.

A normal human wouldn't have noticed, but since Edwin possessed these attributes, he was extremely sensitive to them.

Edwin knew that there was a low chance of them to try and inspect a Prince's Personal Mansion. However, he couldn't underestimate that mysterious power that continued to save Bernado's life repeatedly.

As for this commotion of fighting, Edwin believed they wouldn't find out about it.

These individuals were trying to locate the presence of some particular attributes of Ardor in a large area. There were bound to be restrictions.

At best, they would only be able to sense the presence of Ardor being utilized. These sensors couldn't sense the Ardor in great detail, unlike Edwin. Meaning they would be clueless about the quantity of Ardor being utilized.

Thus, it was only natural they would ignore it.

Edwin stared at these people and noticed they were ready to fight against him. They had created pure Ardor Barrier around their bodies.

It would provide them good protection against all elements. They stacked that barrier multiple times by using it on each other.

They believed it would be able to withstand a good amount of Edwin's power now.

Without further ado, they charged at Edwin.

They knew well enough they couldn't win in a one-on-one close combat fight against him no matter how good they were. It was also impossible for them to defeat him in long-range attacks.

The only choice left was to get together and attack him.

They had 8 people while Edwin was just one person. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't react to them at the same time. They were bound to land a hit or two and injure him.

"Everyone, remain calm and make sure to not get in each other's way! Let's make him regret killing our comrades!" A woman among them spoke out loudly.

A second later, they vanished from their spots. They could be seen charging at Edwin with a quick speed.

Edwin remained on his spot as he waited for them. Why did he need to move if they were going to come at him?

There was a thin smile on his face as he thought 'This saves me the trouble of gathering you all.'

Not even one of them realized that Edwin gathered a large quantity of Ardor to use one of his strongest techniques.

When they were close to his body, they could hear him speaking, "You have covered yourselves with multiple barriers. Your defensive prowess will truly be impressive. I have a question for you, though."

When these warriors looked at Edwin's face, they saw a disdainful smirk on his face, "Can you survive this?"

"Wind and Flame Fusion Technique: The Great Flame Cyclone!"

Suddenly, a large scale of air began to rotate around Edwin in a counter-clockwise direction! The inward spiraling winds rotating in this Cyclone forced these warriors closer to the Center!

The barriers around these warriors' bodies were strong enough to resist the pressure to prevent them from being injured. However, these warriors couldn't resist this pressure and leave the cyclone

For that, they needed to possess a force strong enough to win against this strong wind pressure. Unfortunately, none of them was strong enough.

"Burn!" Edwin whispered with a low voice.

As if by his command, the gigantic cyclone was lit ablaze by Azure Flames.

That gigantic flame cyclone forced Bernado, Bianca, Miku, and even Bernado's guards to stop all fighting and look at it with an awe-struck face.

Bernado was thinking with an astonished look on his face 'W-Who is this man? This power… It would put him on par with David! Does he possess a Royal Bloodline as well?! But why do I not feel any fluctuations from his Royal Bloodline?!'

Even though Bernado had witnessed one of the strongest attacks from Edwin, he still only placed him at the same level as his eldest brother.

It spoke volumes of David's strength.

Naturally, this was only Bernado's personal opinion. It didn't actually mean Edwin was equal to David.

After all, Edwin hadn't shown off his true trump cards to Bernado.

However, it had to be known that even David probably hadn't shown off his true trump cards to Bernado.

Moreover, Edwin still didn't understand this Royal Bloodline completely.

It took less than 6 seconds for all the guards under Bernado to lose their lives. Only two were alive. They were fighting against Miku and Bianca.

The two guards were greatly injured at this point, and when they raised their heads to look at that Great Flame Cyclone, they somehow lost their will to fight.

They were also 5 Star Warriors, but they never thought someone at the 5 Star Rank would be so strong.

As soon as their will weakened, Miku and Bianca took advantage of it and killed them!

The two warriors' bodies laid on the floor, lifeless.

Edwin then stared at Bernado. And just like before, he raised his hand to target Bernado.

'Can someone still save you now? Let's see about that.'

His hand flashed with blue lightning as he targeted Bernado.

"Lightning Spear," Edwin whispered as he launched a Lightning Spear at Bernado.

Bernado tried to move his body, but it was useless. He couldn't move an inch with the swords stabbing his arms and legs.

Edwin waited for someone to intervene at this moment.

He frowned as he sensed no one was approaching. Just as he was about to cancel the attack, Edwin stopped himself 'What if that mysterious energy anticipated I would call off this attack and hence hadn't activated? I can't call off this attack. I can experiment on other Royal Heirs after this man's death.'

However, just a second later, Edwin understood why no one appeared. There was no need for someone to appear.

A barrier had mysteriously formed around Bernado's body. It was formed of Golden Colored Energy.

A locket on Bernado's body was shining brightly. Edwin understood that this was the thing that was protecting Bernado's body.

He also sensed this locket giving off signals in all directions.

'I was careless. I didn't prepare for this situation.'

Edwin immediately ordered Bianca and Miku to return to the mansion. He couldn't have them get caught here. Experts from the Royal Palace and from the nearby outposts were going to arrive as quickly as possible.

While Bianca and Miku followed his order and left the area quickly, Edwin continued to fly at the same spot.

A solemn look appeared on his face as he decided it was time to pull out the big guns.

"Divine Holy Demonic Transformation!"
