《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

It was outside of Azaroth's expectations that Shun and others would be able to figure out his identity so soon.
He had used tried to use the name of a random Demon Emperor he remembered. However, Azaroth had no idea that the totem of this Demon Emperor had already been found.
Thus, his plan had failed and it caused Shun to guess that the runes on the totem had been altered. It had ultimately led them to his title…Tyrannical Asura Devil God.
Just the domineering title of the demon frightened Jonas, Shun, and even Felix Miller. They now understood that the situation was far graver than they expected.
"When did the demon set up this Demonic Totem? Is he scheming against the Sinyalian Kingdom? But why use schemes if he is a Demon God?" Jonas wondered with a frown.
Shun answered a couple of questions, "This Demon God used Evil Fiend Flame Emperor title to fool us. To him, it was probably a Demon Emperor who was immensely talented and decently famous in the world. If not for the fact that we knew that a record that this Evil Fiend Flame Emperor's totem had already been found and it doesn't look remotely similar to this, we would have really been fooled."
Jonas nodded gravely, "That's correct." He stared at Felix Miller and ordered him, "You can leave now."
Felix Miller was quite excited to analyze this totem earlier but he didn't hesitate in following Jonas's command.
In fact, his face was completely pale and he was quite scared right now. He didn't dare to analyze that totem any longer.
Once Felix Miller had left, Jonas continued his conversation with Shun.
"According to your theory, this demon god has joined hands with Edwin. And he is the one behind the major incidents that occurred in Wrihull City." Joans spoke with a grave look.

This was naturally a very crucial matter. In their minds, they understood that the gravity of this matter far surpassed the importance of that Elf Princess or that Beast Emperor Egg.
Right now, there had been a Demon God with them. And they had no idea what he was scheming.
Shun remained silent for quite some time and then answered, "That's correct."
"We need to capture Edwin and gain any information we can from him. As quickly as possible!" Jonas spoke restlessly.
Shun noticed Jonas's nervousness and spoke, "Let's calm down for a moment… We need to gather all the information we possess and analyze it. Let me start. I will narrate the incidents and give me thoughts or possible theories about the incidents."
Jonas knew that he had to calm down but the information was just too crucial. This Demon God had been within his territory!
No matter how arrogant or intelligent he was, he wouldn't dare to underestimate a Demon God.
"When your child suddenly changed, I suspect that he came into contact with this totem and probably woke up the Demon God's Spirit within it. Now, there are two possibilities. Either the Demon God has taken over the body of Edwin's servant. Or…He has taken over Edwin's body."
"Right now, I feel there's a good chance he took over Edwin's body. It would be more convenient for him to live here if he assumed this identity. Within Edwin's body, however, there is a Celestial Bloodline presence. As all the fighters know that a Demon cannot take over the body of someone who possesses Celestial Blood."
"There is, however, an exception to this rule. If the Demon had reached the 8th Star Rank and the one whose body he was possessing was weaker than the 6th Star Rank. Normally, this wouldn't happen because the Demon wouldn't gain anything by giving up his own body in exchange for a Celestial's body. Do you understand what I'm saying thus far?" Shun asked Jonas calmly.

Jonas frowned but he couldn't deny the logic in those words.
"…Yes. I see why you doubt Edwin. This Demon God changed his own runes over his totem just to hide his true identity. Meaning, he didn't want us to find out his true identity. If we find out about his true identity, we will also come to know of a new possibility and get closer to capturing him." Jonas summarized his thoughts.
Shun replied some moments later, "Right. Thus, there is a high chance Edwin is a Demon God."
Jonas sucked a breath of cold air. He remembered all his conversations with Edwin. His expressions…His clever ideas. He was suddenly recalling everything.
As he was recalling those moments, he also remembered how he had seen Shun was soundly defeated by Edwin.
'His defeat wasn't unjust. He was up against a Demon God while lacking a lot of information.'
"You informed me that Edwin was a 4 Star Rank Warrior when you checked his cultivation," Shun asked Jonas.
Jonas immediately replied, "That's correct. He was a 4 Star Warrior. I am sure of it."
Soon, Jonas's eyes widened in realization 'He is a 4 Star Warrior now!'
This realization was greatly significant for Jonas. Ever since he came to know that his enemy was a Demon God, a shadow appeared over his mind. He was feeling so much pressure that it affected his thoughts and prevented him from analyzing coolly.
Jonas then focused on the Voice Transmission Array Stone. He comprehended what Shun had done and thought 'Shun used such a roundabout way to make me realize it. If he had spoken directly, it wouldn't have had such an effect.'
"…Even if he was a former Demon God, he is now merely a 4 Star Warrior. I suspect that he paid a huge price due to the Celestial Bloodline to integrate himself with Edwin's spirit and body. If not for that, his cultivation would have been even higher than yours." Shun spoke seriously.
"If he was stronger than me, he wouldn't be so cautious about these matters. Strength is absolute!" Jonas spoke with a regained confidence.
Shun agreed with Jonas on this and added, "Correct. Thus, he is probably trying to regain his power through all sorts of possible methods he knows. Trying to guess those methods would be extremely foolish. So, we need to change our approach."
"Let's relax the surveillance over him. A demon god wouldn't break no matter how many people we assign to monitor him. Instead, he could use them to send false information to us However, this needs to be implemented at a perfect opportunity." Shun gave a suggestion.
Jonas thought for some moments and spoke, "…This identity of the Demon Emperor he used to confuse us. I think there is a deeper meaning behind it. Maybe he specifically gave the name Evil Fiend Flame Emperor."
"Maybe, he did have a deep motive behind it. If my guess is right, the perfect opportunity would come soon enough. But if that situation does occur then it means there is no doubt Edwin is the Demon God." Shun spoke seriously.
"What situation?" Jonas asked solemnly.
Shun explained the entire situation to him. He gave his reasoning along with the description of the entire situation.
"…Very well. It shall be done." Jonas informed Shun before he cut off the connection.
