A Demon's Journey-Chapter 477 Sacred Envoy

Sacred Envoy were those humans who had been blessed with a bit of Celestial Blood. This Celestial Blood originated from an Angel and could not be considered very impressive.

In reality, Sacred Envoys weren't all that different from humans. They just possessed the ability to use Holy Ardor instead of Humanely Ardor. They retained their original potential.

For religious fanatics, though, this was a status worth fighting for, even if it meant putting their lives in jeopardy. This was because after becoming a Sacred Envoy, they could enter the Heavens and cultivate there.

As the Demon Lords in Underground Labyrinth saw Nudar slaughtering their comrades and subordinates with Holy Ardor, this status appeared in their minds.

Nudar ignored their shocked expressions and continued to slaughter Elite-Ranked Demons. He had a specific reason for not targeting the Demon Lords. In fact, he wanted them to survive for as long as possible.

The Demon Lords seemed to realize that Nudar wasn't targeting them and was instead going after Elite-Ranked Demons.

This made them slightly suspicious, but then they thought that maybe he was recovering from the backlash of using that terrifying technique. It made sense.

Without paying a specific price, a Sacred Envoy couldn't hold so much Holy Ardor. Or maybe he held a special weapon.

The Demon Lords didn't care any further and charged toward him. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

The corners of Nudar's lips lifted slightly as he saw them approaching him. He thought 'They finally considered that possibility.'

The three Demon Lords attacked Nudar with their techniques.

Nudar dodged one of the techniques, but he was struck by the other two attacks. He spat out some blood before whispering, "Divine Cloud Palm!"

This attack didn't target the Demon Lords. Instead, it targeted the demons around him. This palm attack released a massive palm-shaped Holy Ardor that struck the demons in that direction.

However, the attack only killed all the demons weaker than an Elite-Ranked Demon this time. The Elite-Ranked Demons managed to survive this attack at the cost of heavy injuries.

This strengthened the guess of the Demon Lords as they bombarded Nudar with their strongest attacks.

Nudar seemed to have no choice but to endure their attacks. He gritted his teeth as these demon lords continued to gang up on him.

After some minutes of fighting, Nudar released a massive shockwave that threw all the demons away from him. Even the Demon Lords were no exception to this.

However, the Demon Lords weren't hurt by this attack. In fact, they remained largely unharmed.

When they gazed at Nudar's spot, they noticed that he had disappeared. Noticing the trial of Nudar's Holy Ardor, they understood that he had left the Underground Labyrinth. He must have realized it was impossible to win and retreated!

The Demon Lords took a breath of relief. They had no idea that a Sacred Envoy would break into their Underground Labyrinth.

After gathering their subordinates, they realized that another Sacred Envoy had attacked. It was a woman, but she didn't enter the great hall to support her comrade for some reason.

The Demon Lords inferred that she was most likely scared of fighting against Demon Lords. The man must possess a reckless identity and the woman a cautious one. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Anyway, it didn't change the fact that Celestials had discovered their hiding spot! They were bound to lead a large force to attack them soon.

At this moment, Deep Sea Demon King left his seclusion after hearing that Celestials had attacked them. He frowned as he sensed Holy Ardor in the Underground Labyrinth's Hall.

The Celestials had already entered so deep?

His frown deepened as he noticed that the gate of the Underground Labyrinth had opened. In fact, the arrays of the Underground Labyrinth had seemingly lost all their Demonic Ardor.

'How could this happen?! It had only been a month since I entered seclusion. The arrays still held considerable power and could have sustained for another decade or so. Why would they lose all their Demonic Energy within a month?!'

Searching for the answer wasn't his top priority. His top priority was what he should do now.

'The Celestials must be heading to this location at their top speed! I need to think of something to survive. We will definitely die if we encounter a pair of Angels!' Deep Sea Demon King thought profoundly.

After meeting the Demon Lords, he found out that two Sacred Envoys had attacked them. And surprisingly, one of them managed to annihilate two Demon Lords with a single attack!

Deep Sea Demon King was sure that this individual used a forbidden attack. A Sacred Envoy couldn't use such a great amount of Holy Ardor without suffering terrible aftereffects.

After a long discussion with his Demon Lords, Deep Sea Demon King decided to leave the Underground Labyrinth.

Without the support of the arrays in the Underground Labyrinth, they were sitting ducks. The Angels would soon arrive and slaughter them all! It was better to try their luck and hide somewhere else!

Deep Sea Demon King immediately ordered his subordinates to gather all the treasures in Underground Labyrinth. They were going to leave this place soon!

Deep Sea Demon King was going to lead them to another Underground Labyrinth that was quite close to their current location.

This was Nudar's true motive behind attacking this Underground Labyrinth!

He suspected that this Demon King had seen a map of Lamhilhan Theocracy's Underground Labyrinth with all of its locations. If that's the case, the Demon King would most likely flee to another Underground Labyrinth if he came against a significant threat.

However, this was merely the beginning of his diabolic plan!

After four hours, Deep Sea Demon King led his forces to the Underground Labyrinth in the Buvila district. The Demon King had no idea he was being followed by five individuals.

~~Nearly five hours ago~~

Nudar and Margeria returned to their spots.

Margeria used her telekinesis to control Camille and her clothes. Soon, Camille was wearing her original clothes. Her blood had already dried and didn't stain her clothes.

Nudar and Margeria soon laid down before closing their eyes. They weren't really sleeping, though. Even though Nudar was using his Spiritual Sense to conceal their presence, it would be a disaster if the Demon King accidentally encountered them.

The two were sleeping with some distance between them.

After five hours, the two woke up as they sensed the demons' movement. They woke up others as well, and soon the entire group was awake, including the Wood Elf.

When Dylan woke up, he was startled to see a large force of demons moving out. They were heading deeper into the Lamhilhan Theocracy's territory!

"We must follow them immediately! These demons must be planning something sinister!" He shouted before rushing towards the demons' force. He failed to notice Camille's bizarre expression.

Camille stared at Nudar with a confused expression. She sensed that the reason for the pain in her womb originated from Nudar.

At that moment, Margeria stepped toward her and whispered in her ears, "…Next time, don't be so intense. I could hardly sleep!"

She seemed to be complaining to Camille.

Camille was startled to hear this complaint. She asked with an anxious tone, "…W-What did I do?!"

Margeria snorted in disdain as she responded, "What did you not do? You were all over Nudar. I know he is handsome, and you like him, but at the least, don't make a move on him in public. You moaned like a beast!"

Camille's face turned utterly crimson as she heard those words. She shyly glanced at Nudar. Nudar sensed her gaze and glanced back at her. Camille immediately averted her gaze. She couldn't look him in the eyes!

Margeria snorted at that moment and added, "Both of you were heavily drunk. I doubt he remembers what happened last night."

Camille nodded her head and added with a pleading look, "Please don't mention this to Dylan or Nudar."

"Hmph. Who do you think I am? A gossiping woman?!" Margeria seemed to have gotten angry and shouted at Camille.

Camille hurriedly calmed her down by complimenting her. It worked as Margeria no longer seemed to be angry.

What Camille had no idea that this was Nudar's trick of burning the bridges after crossing them.

He naturally didn't want to be involved romantically with Camille. In reality, he didn't have romantic feelings for anyone, but Camille's talent was far too low to receive any more attention from him. He could easily use her without expending much effort. She wouldn't be of much use to him!
