A Demon's Journey

In the nighttime, Azaroth gathered all the women in front of his shelter.

"It's time for you to launch an attack. I will teach you an Eye Technique that would allow you to see during the night," Azaroth spoke with a serious tone.

"Learn this. This technique's name is Wild Cat's Eye." Azaroth spoke the name of this technique.

It was something he personally created by observing and experimenting on a few tigers and cats.

He knew that their eyes could even see perfectly in the dark. There had to be some trick about it.

He had pulled their eyes and observed how the flow of energy worked. In reality, these beasts also held some Bloodline Abilities. From the surface, it appeared that the night vision of these beasts activated due to their Bloodline.

However, Azaroth didn't give up and recorded how the Bloodline worked inside their eyes. It only then did he create this Wild Cat's Eye.

It wasn't a very strong ability. But it allowed a warrior to possess a perfect night vision. Moreover, he could even see at a further distance than normal.

It wasn't very challenging for these women to learn this technique. They just had to be careful when they controlled their Ardor.

If they were careless, the veins in their eyes might burst, and they would go blind. All these women, including Tiana, had a blue hue near the pupils of their eyes.

"You have reached the initial stage of this technique. Once you master this technique, this Blue Glow of your eyes will disappear, and no one can figure out that you are using this technique. After you master this technique, it would even assist your perception greatly. So, work hard at it," Azaroth spoke.

"Currently, the enemies are stationed at specific positions within a small area. I will assign you some particular locations, and your task would be to annihilate all enemies in that area. Before you begin to compare your numbers with that of enemies, remember that they are all extremely tired after observing you for an entire day. Moreover, they have no knowledge about this sneak attack. Only a few of them would be awake, and if you can handle them silently, you would succeed in your mission."

Azaroth calmly advised these women.

He stared at Tiana and ordered her, "You will handle the frontlines of the enemy. There are nearly 30 enemies in that area."

Tiana was slightly startled to hear that she would be up against so many enemies.

Rosalie had a doubt and immediately asked Azaroth, "…Master, what if we alert the enemy? Are we supposed to retreat?"

At that moment, they all heard a cold reply from Azaroth, "No. You are to return only after slaughtering all your enemies."

"You need to put your life on the line to complete this mission. I won't tolerate anyone who fails this mission!" Azaroth spoke rather coldly. All these women gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

"Let's begin," Azaroth spoke as he created a holographic map using his Spiritual Energy.

He then informed them of his plan and assigned them to specific locations on that holographic map.

"Any questions?" He asked them with a calm tone as he put away that holographic map.

No woman responded at that moment. They were all extremely worried about their capability to complete this task.

"Since this will be your first mission, I will rent you some weapons. Inform me what kind of weapon you prefer," Azaroth spoke with a calm tone. He had many weapons in his Purple Ring.

His motive was to figure out just their true abilities. He knew that no one could accomplish this task secretly.

They would at the most kill half the enemies in secret and would have to face the other half in a head-on battle.

All the women were startled to hear these words, but they reacted quickly and informed him of their desired weapon.

Some preferred swords, sabers, ribbons, and one of them even requested a Great Sword. Azaroth provided them with the weapons they required.

The weapons he provided were all Ice Elemental in nature, and they were at the Lord Rank. He had stronger Ice Elemental Weapons with him, but he didn't want to assist them too much.

A King Ranked Weapon would make it too easy for them to win against these weapons. In fact, their combat power had sharply risen after getting these Lord Rank Weapons.

Tiana chose a sword while Helena chose a saber. Helena had trained using a saber a little. She wasn't very good at it, but she felt that the Saber suited her the best among these weapons.

"Alright, disperse!" Azaroth ordered these women. The women dispersed and were moving towards their assigned positions.

Meanwhile, Azaroth let out a sigh after these women left.

He began to fly in the sky. Moreover, he was flying quite high so that he could see the entire terrain.

As he flew higher, he noticed a faint suppression acting onto him. The Demon Blood within him was stimulated as it immediately dealt with that suppression.

'A Demon's presence somewhere nearby? Moreover, a Demon Emperor Ranked thing?' Azaroth's expression changed slightly.

'It seems to be coming from that moat. It seems to be a natural chasm rather than a man-made moat.' Azaroth thought.

Soon, he focused on the ground and noticed that his subordinates had reached their assigned locations.

The enemy scouts had no idea that these women had suddenly surrounded them. Unlike Azaroth's subordinates, they couldn't see clearly in the night.

And since these women could see their enemy, they were especially careful to not be caught by the enemy.

Moreover, the positions Azaroth assigned them were essentially the blind spots of the enemy. They would never expect an attack from that direction.

Well, excluding Tiana, that is. She had to launch a frontal attack!

Around the same moment, all these women whispered their techniques to attack the enemy!

"Icy Spear Rain!"

"Chilling Ice Destruction!"

Tiana launched the Icy Spear Rain at her enemies. This was because she had to cover a very large area that was filled with her enemies, who were unaware of this attack.

Before the enemies could comment that they were under attack, they saw thousands of Icy Spears raining down on them.

The enemy warriors acted on their instincts and immediately jumped away to save their life. Some managed to save their lives, while others had their bodies pierced by those Icy Spears.

The ones who survived immediately yelled with all their might, "ENEMY ATTACK!"

He had shouted this to awaken his comrades from their sleep. He wanted them to be prepared for any further enemy attacks.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tiana's subordinates launched Chilling Ice Destruction. Dense Icy Wind was released from their hands as they targeted the enemies up ahead.

Anything that came into contact with this Icy Wind froze at speed visible to the naked eye. Whether it was a tree, human body, beasts, all of them froze under the effect of this Chilling Ice Destruction.

This was an extremely ruthless attack because when the muscles of these warriors turned rigid. As they tried to struggle inside while frozen inside that ice, they had no idea that their muscles were tearing apart.

The Ice had turned their senses completely numb. They couldn't have known about this.

However, the enemy warriors were now more or less awake. The Chilling Ice Destruction didn't cause as much damage as Tiana's subordinates were expecting. The primary reason was that the enemy had already run away before that Icy Wind could affect them.

They were now waiting for this Chilling Ice Destruction attack to end. After that, they would ruthlessly counter!
