A Demon's Journey

Chapter 556 Sargan: The Purgatory



Sargan lived on the Frascoia Continent for nearly two years, and his body had gotten used to the environment there.

Thus, he felt somewhat uncomfortable as he returned to Purgatory.

Sargan was somewhat glad since he didn\'t need to be careful in using his techniques. On the Frascoia Continent, Sargan had created an illusion to prevent anyone from figuring out that he was utilizing Demonic Ardor instead of Humanely Ardor.

It was Azaroth who set up that illusion, while Sargan had to actively utilize his Demonic Ardor to maintain it.

Now that Sargan had returned to Purgatory, he could use his techniques to their full potential.

After returning, he had to deal with a horde of Shadow Hounds. It was somewhat challenging to kill so many Shadow Hounds, but the scent of their blood stuck with him.

It caused most of the Demonic Monsters to maintain their distance from Sargan.

However, Sargan found it extremely difficult to contain this thick killing intent. It basically alerted all the beings of his presence in the nearby area.

Most of the weaker demons were intimidated by this thick killing intent and would flee as quickly as possible.

However, Sargan had the misfortune of alerting multiple demon groups in the area. These demon groups judged that Sargan wasn\'t very strong and immediately targeted him.

Sargan used his Evil Eyes Abilities and managed to surprise these demons and flee quickly.

These demon groups normally inhabited a location close to a demon settlement. If the demons in that settlement found out that a fight was going on, they would definitely come and try to gain some benefits.

In fact, many bloodthirsty demons would attack Sargan just for the sake of fighting him.

Fighting a demon was a completely different concept compared to fighting a human. A demon\'s techniques were all used to brutally destroy the target, while the humans were used to kill the target with the least force required.

The humans would try to conserve as much energy as possible, while a Demon couldn\'t be bothered to think about power consumption.

This made the demons more fearsome at the beginning of the battle and simpler to deal with later in the battle. Thus, dealing with a group of demons was much more troublesome since their attacks would all be terrifying attacks that could destroy someone multiple times.

In fact, the demons in the group didn\'t care about friendly fire. They would rather strike a friend and the enemy along than not strike the enemy at all.

Thus, Sargan used his Petrification ability to surprise the demon groups and quickly left by creating a smokescreen.

However, these demon groups were just one of the many troubles he encountered as he was on his way to the Bach Clan.

According to his current location, Sargan had to pass through the Bach Clan\'s sworn enemy to reach the Bach Clan. This was known as the Olmer Clan!

Thus, Sargan couldn\'t utilize the Evil Eyes in the Olmer Clan\'s territory. The Olmer Clan was an Emperor-Grade Clan in the Purgatory, similar to the Bach Clan.

They also had a single Demon Emperor expert in this clan.

Just as the Bach Clan\'s bloodline passed on the ocular powers of the Evil Eyes, the Olmer Clan\'s bloodline passed on a special Purple Blood.

This Purple Blood had multiple abilities. It allowed the user to manipulate their blood according to their thoughts. All members of the Olmer Clan could use this ability. Just the density and control of their Purple Blood depended on the purity of their blood.

In some rare instances, the Purple Blood possessed another element in contrast to the Olmer Clan\'s descendant.

This caused an Olmer Clan descendant to cultivate two elements at the same time. Most of the Olmer Clan descendants possessed Ice Element. And the second element possessed by the Purple Blood was generally the Green Flame element or the Water Element.

Both these elements greatly assisted the user\'s control over the Purple Blood. Moreover, these elements greatly increased the user\'s arsenal of techniques. This gave the user a great advantage when fighting against other demons.

Sargan recalled all the information he had about the Olmer Clan. He knew that the borders between the Olmer Clan and the Bach Clan were very secure. The borders of the Olmer and the Bach Clan were secured with an impressive bloodline array.

That array required either a Demon King rank expert to cross it or two direct descendants of both the clans to infuse their energy in the array to unlock it.

Using blood to create an array created one of the strongest arrays in Purgatory. Many clans utilized similar arrays to secure their borders.

Sargan could use his Evil Eyes to unlock the border array from the Bach Clan\'s side, but he required a direct descendant of the Olmer Clan to open it up from this side as well.

The only other choice was to choose a longer route from either the left or the right side of the Olmer Clan\'s territory.

However, on the right side was the territory of many Demon Kings. While on the left side was the territory of a Demon God.

No one dared to enter the Demon God\'s territory. There were rumors that whoever entered the Demon God\'s territory never returned.

Thus, Sargan would never attempt to go through that route. The only option was to either go through the Olmer Clan\'s territory or the territory of multiple Demon Kings.

Sargan thought hard about this issue.

He felt that going through the territories of multiple Demon Kings would be much riskier than going through the Olmer Clan\'s territory.

There was a simple reason for that.

The Olmer Clan\'s territory was at peace relatively to the territories of these Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings to the right of the Olmer Clan\'s territory was always at war with each other. Thus, they were much more attentive of their territory and wouldn\'t miss a Demon Lord sneaking across their territory.

By the process of elimination, Sargan chose to go through the Olmer Clan\'s territory. He had a plan on crossing the borders and reaching the Bach Clan\'s territory!

Fortunately, Sargan cultivated the Nether Devil God Scripture which greatly strengthened his Demonic Ardor. His killing intent was fading as it fused with his body.

Sargan\'s plan was pretty simple.

\'I should kidnap an Olmer Clan\'s heir and use him to open the borders between the Olmer Clan and the Bach Clan.\'

Sargan was very confident of his power. He was sure of his victory as long as the opponent didn\'t turn out to be a Demon King or a Demon Emperor.

However, he had to be extremely quick and careful before taking action.

If his timing was slightly off and he was a bit unlucky, Sargan would pay dearly as he would be forced to confront a Demon King or a Demon Emperor!

This possibility didn\'t discourage Sargan, though. Instead, it stimulated him.

\'If I can pull this off successfully, I will make the entire Olmer Clan look like a fool. Even the Bach Clan will welcome me with open arms, and I will instantly gain a tremendous influence in it.\'

This was the truth. The grievances between the Bach Clan and the Olmer Clan had been set generations ago.

The Bach Clan would do anything to harm or humiliate the Olmer Clan and the opposite was true as well.

The younger generation of both the clans didn\'t care about the reason for this conflict. In fact, they further encouraged it as this became a great way for them to gain influence!
