《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

Azaroth entered a clothing store along with Sir Ashton. As he looked around, he found regular clothing placed all over the store.
There was not one item here that gave a Spiritual sense to him.
"Are you sure you want to buy some Spiritual clothes instead of better armor? As you know, Spiritual clothes will hardly provide you with any defense against physical attacks." Sir Ashton asked Azaroth, telling him of the bad points of the Spiritual clothing.
"The fact that it can weaken the elemental ardor attacks is more than enough reason for me to wear it. Moreover, unlike an armor, my mobility won't be restrained as if I wear it." Azaroth gave his reasons casually.
Sir Ashton accepted his reasoning with a smile.
Meanwhile, the store owner also saw just who had come into his shop. He was quite amazed to see it was Sir Ashton bringing someone along.
"Greetings, Sir Ashton. It's a pleasure to have you in my shop." The man said with a respectful voice.
Sir Ashton waved off his words and spoke, "This gentleman here wants to buy Spiritual clothing. Show him tier 4 Spiritual clothing. And show him the best ones…I will be settling the bill."
These words from Sir Ashton were quite surprising for the shop owner. He glanced at Azaroth with an analytical gaze. To hear that this man was making Sir Ashton pay for him…His identity was bound to be unique.
However, the shop owner knew he couldn't just talk about it. He had to do what has been asked of him first.
"Yes, sir. I will show you the absolute best of what is available in my shop." He promised with a confident tone and added at the end, "Follow me."
Azaroth and Sir Ashton followed him. Sir Ashton wasn't worried since he trusted this man quite a bit.
The shopkeeper took them to stairs that led to the basement where he had stored the Spiritual clothing.
Unlike the ground floor that had been covered with various types of clothes, the basement didn't seem to have many clothes.
Even here, Azaroth couldn't sense any Spiritual clothing.

The clothes lying around here also appeared to be quite normal.
Without saying anything, the shopkeeper grabbed hold of a specific robe and pulled it out of the polythene-like packing.
Once the cloth was out of that polythene-like packing, the entire room seemed to be saturated with a dense quantity of Ardor.
Azaroth was quite surprised as he thought 'This polythene thing… It entirely blocked my spiritual sense. There was no such thing millions of years ago.'
Azaroth really wanted to sigh as he understood that humans had progress not just in terms of power but also explored quite a bit.
Truly, no matter what dimension it was, the human species would continue to evolve with time.
"Try this out, sir." The shopkeeper said with a small smile.
Azaroth wore the robe above his clothes. The brown robe covered nearly all his body and had a bluish aura around Azaroth.
"This is a tier 4 robe which can resist elemental powers as long as you have Ardor stored in it." The shopkeeper spoke with a neutral gaze.
Azaroth continued to gauge the material with his own spiritual sense. Now that the polythene-like thing wasn't restricting his spiritual sense, he could analyze it himself.
As he analyzed this material, he found out that this material seemed to be made by a mixture of constituents that held fire, lightning, wind, and other elemental crystals. The fire elemental ratio was the highest, and according to Azaroth, the fire was the element that would be significantly restricted by this robe. It would have the weakest resistive power to wind elemental attacks.
"Can I see any other?" Azaroth quietly said as he dismissed this product.
The shopkeeper looked surprised and gave a look to Sir Ashton. Sir Ashton quietly nodded, giving a small hint to the shopkeeper.
"As you command, sir. The next product will be a little more special." The shopkeeper said as he picked up another polythene packet.
This time, it wasn't a robe but more like a set of clothes.
It had a shirt, jacket, and trousers as well. It appeared quite good and reminded Azaroth of the branded clothes from Earth.

Although its designs couldn't be considered in the same league as the top brands on Earth, it was still quite good.
"Alright, I will try this out."
Azaroth was sent to the trial room to try on these clothes.
While Azaroth had gone to the trial room, the shopkeeper looked at Sir Ashton and spoke, "Sir, that set was earlier made for a Noble Family Heir. Although the order was canceled at the last date and this order remained at our shop, this set's value is a little higher than an average attire."
"Don't worry, put this on my tab. I will pay you the full amount of this thing." Sir Ashton spoke this with a solemn voice.
At those words, the shopkeeper nervously laughed, "How could I dare to think that Sir Ashton won't pay off his debt. What I meant to ask was, is it worth it to spend so much for this man?"
At those words, Sir Ashton smirked, and he replied, "For greater profits, we must remain ready to take some risks. Moreover, this amount is not something that can hurt me that much so I don't mind spending it.
Azaroth soon left the trial room, looking quite good in his new clothes. The black jacket, the white shirt, and the brown colored trousers seemed to empower his aura.
The shopkeeper started speaking with a smile, "Sir, this is a custom-made set. All these three items resist elemental attacks. But not just resisting the elemental attacks. They have specific functions as well. The jacket absorbs the Ardor from nature, increasing your Ardor regeneration quite a bit. The shirt and pants will boost the properties of your Ardor around your body. Meaning, if you have enough Ardor, you can easily block the physical attacks with them as well. But the consumption of your Ardor will be immense."
Azaroth had already analyzed that much and knew that the shopkeeper's words were real.
"Alright. I like this. I will buy it. Is this alright, Sir Ashton?" He looked in Sir Ashton's direction, who had an elderly smile.
"Looks like we are done here. Let's go out. I don't suppose you want to change back into your previous clothes." Sir Ashton spoke to Azaroth, who gave a confirmatory nod.
"Well, I would prefer not to. These clothes are much more comfortable." Azaroth said while moving his arms a bit.
Soon enough, they were out of this shop.
Sir Ashton led him to an empty ground where Azaroth could sense no one besides them.
"Now, it's time to fulfill your end of the deal."
"Naturally. It's here." Azaroth pulled out the 4 Star Beast Core from his ring. Not much of its beast essence had escaped, so it was still in its best condition. He threw the Beast Core towards Sir Ashton's hands.
Now that Sir Ashton carefully held it, he could sense the Beast Core's chaotic elements and figure out just which Beast's Core it was.
Soon enough, his eyes widened in shock as he asked, "This is a Tiger's Beast Core? Moreover, it is of a Royal Bloodline even amongst Tigers."
Meanwhile, Azaroth smirked a little and replied, "Who knows… It's not like I saw the tiger. I just received this thing."
These words from Azaroth were meant to confuse Sir Ashton even further. And his plan was working till now.
With that, Azaroth returned back to the mansion.
~~
2 days later…
A servant knocked on the door to Azaroth's room.
Azaroth asked from the inside, "What is it?"
"Young Master, someone has given me this coin. He mentioned that you will know once you receive it."
As soon as Azaroth heard those words, his eyes widened, and a small smile appeared on his lips.
'You found someone so quickly, Tronte? What a surprising guy you are.'
Naturally, this was Tronte's signal, saying that he had found someone from the Glerian Kingdom who could buy the resources and weapons from Azaroth in large quantities.
It had been less than a week, and Tronte had already found someone. This was beyond Azaroth's expectations.
"Looks like I need to get ready. I should meet up with him as soon as possible."
