《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

Azaroth knew that since it was that Inquisitor Fox who instigated this scene, then another group must be approaching them from behind.
He couldn't waste too much of his time on these people.
Thus, the Hell Flames that were swirling around his sword suddenly began to grow denser.
The warriors ahead of Azaroth sensed a massive amount of energy building up.
All the four-star warriors attacked Azaroth at this moment. They knew they couldn't allow Azaroth to finish charging up his attack.
Two of them charged forwards to attack Azaroth. One was charging with an Axe in his hand while the other had a mace.
They noticed that while Azaroth was charging up his attack, he couldn't change his posture, thus they felt they had an opportunity to attack him.
However, one of the two 5 Star Warriors was still worried that Azaroth might suddenly break out of his posture and kill the two warriors.
He bent down and placed his hand on the ground.
Suddenly, many rock spikes targeted Azaroth from different directions. However, just after approaching his body, they stopped.
Azaroth was perplexed until he noticed the other 5 Star Warrior raising his hands and releasing a massive stream of water.
He didn't feel any danger from it and allowed the water to strike his body.
The aim of that warrior wasn't Azaroth but instead the Earth Spikes that his comrade had created.
Once the water struck those Earth Spikes, the Earth had somehow melted and converted into mud. This mud fell on Azaroth's body.
"Now, harden it!"
The warrior possessing Water Ardor ordered his comrade. His comrade didn't need to be told about it.
The mud on Azaroth's body began to harden immediately.
'They want to prevent me from moving.'
By this time, the two 4 Star Warriors had closed the distance between them. They immediately raised their weapons and strike Azaroth's head.

Azaroth remained calm even as they were so near to him. Right before they could strike his head, they felt an invisible force stop them.
It felt as if they had struck an invisible barrier.
"What?!" Both were shocked at this scene. Not just them, but their comrades who saw this at the back were shocked as well.
They had used this combination to deal with many opponents. Even if that opponent was stronger than them. However, to think that even after using it, they couldn't strike their opponent was just too astonishing for them.
The 5 Star Warrior possessing the Earth Ardor observed that invisible barrier carefully. He suddenly understood what was going on.
"Shit! He is proficient in using the surrounding energy as well. He used it to create a barrier around him." He shouted out. He also added urgently, "Douglas, Luis… Get back!"
Azaroth though smiled nastily at this moment, "Since you have come, there is no need to leave."
His left hand suddenly moved. Even though that Earth Covering tried to restrain his movements, Azaroth's strength was not something it could handle easily.
This Earth Covering could only constrain Azaroth for a mere moment. If these warriors thought they were going to restrain him for any more than that, they were just overestimating themselves!
Wind Blades were released from his Left Hand. These Wind Blades immediately attacked the warriors named Douglas and Luis.
However, their reactions were exceptionally quick as they used their heavy weapons to block Azaroth's attacks and back away.
Other than a few scratches, they were fine. Once they backed away, they saw a wicked smile on Azaroth's face.
"I entertained your attacks long enough. My turn to be on the offensive." Azaroth spoke.
'Hell Fire Tornado.'
Azaroth's Violet Hell Flames Tornado was released from his sword. It expanded and charged towards his enemies at a quick speed. While moving at a quick speed, it was also spinning rapidly.

When the 5 Star Warriors spotted the Flame Tornado, they instantly raised their Earth Walls and Water Walls to prevent the Violet Hell Flames Tornado from engulfing them.
Even after their combined effort though, the Flame Tornado still managed to create cracks in their barriers. From Azaroth's side, it would seem as if the Flame Tornado was rotating quickly to drill a hole in those walls.
They used even more of their Ardor and constructed more Walls but it was of no use. The cracks continued to widen and the Flame Tornado broke past the barrier soon enough.
The two 5 Star Warriors clenched their teeth and had no choice but to use their barrier to protect them. They were using their pure energy as a 5 Star Warrior.
Similar to how Azaroth had created a barrier around him, these two warriors combined their powers and formed a strong barrier around them.
The Hell Flames Tornado couldn't break through that barrier. But Azaroth didn't care…
He wasn't planning on using his Hell Flames Tornado to kill these two 5 Star Warriors. He knew it wouldn't be so easy.
His main motive was to kill all the 4 Star Warriors and then concentrate on dealing with these 5 Star Warriors.
Soon, Azaroth stopped using his Hell Flames.
The two 5 Star Warriors dispersed their warriors. They turned around and saw nothing…
There was not a single warrior standing behind them. This made them clench their fists angrily.
One of them was so angry that he charged at Azaroth. This was the warrior possessing the Earth Element.
Azaroth remained at his position with that same smile as before.
Once the Earth Warrior was within 100 meters of Azaroth, the Warrior possessing the Water Element immediately used his strongest technique.
"The Great Tsunami!"
Suddenly, a tremendous amount of Water charged towards Azaroth. From a distance, it could be said that the area this Tsunami covered was the same as the Hell Flames Tornado.
It had covered the entire opening in the tunnel and there was nowhere to dodge this attack.
Azaroth couldn't allow this attack to continue or else it would strike his retainers.
"Crushing Hammer Fist!"
The Earth Elemental Warrior spoke as he attacked Azaroth. His target was naturally Azaroth's face.
He wanted to break his face and kill him instantly.
Azaroth understood that this was their personal combo attack. One would use a wide-ranged attack at the enemy while the other would enter into close-range combat and ensure that the attack would strike their opponent. The close-combat warrior must possess some sort of Defensive Skill to remain unharmed even after taking on that wide-ranged water elemental attack.
The Earth Element's defensive prowess must have definitely helped in that regard.
These two used this combo to confuse the opponent and prevent him from thinking of who he should deal with first. The Long Ranged attack or the close-ranged opponent. It would be extremely challenging for him to deal with both of these issues at the same time.
Azaroth though instantly found a weakness of this combo. He whispered disdainfully, "Greater Paralysis."
A stream of Lightning struck that Earth Elemental Warrior's body and he immediately stopped in his tracks.
In fact, he didn't just stop. For a moment, he had stopped using his Ardor to reinforce his body with Earth Ardor.
Once his body had stopped reinforcing him with Earth Ardor, the Great Tsunami struck his body.
The man's entire body received a strong shockwave. And since he hadn't reinforced his body with Earth Ardor, he received many internal injuries.
