"What are you?" The man ahead of Azaroth asked with a shocked voice.

Azaroth's appearance was of a human. However, the man could feel a terrifying presence from him.

Moreover, he recognized those Hell Flames used by Azaroth. Those were Demonic Spiritual Flames!

A human couldn't possibly possess such terrifying demonic flames!

"Me? What about you?" Azaroth asked with a smirk, "Your appearance suggests you are a human. Your clothes give away your identity as a Royal Prince. Are you the fourth prince of the Glerian Kingdom? Or should I call you Demon King Black Hurricane?"

The man's eyes widened even more as he heard that statement.

Azaroth then suddenly added, "You should stop with those cheap tricks like trying to attack me with those hidden wind blades."

"..So you detected them. And here I thought I acted good enough for you to fall for them," The man titled Black Hurricane spoke with a surprisingly calm voice.

"You are aware of my identity as the fourth prince of this Kingdom. I am curious why you still dared to show me your face and that you aren't running away right now. Your assassination attempt has failed! You won't get such a chance. Currently, the strongest warriors from the nearby city are gathering their forces before darting to this place," The Black Hurricane spoke calmly.

Azaroth remained calm as he gazed at the Black Hurricane's face.

'I still can't see his emotions using Mystic Eyes of Perception. That mysterious energy seems to be guarding him as well. This confirms my doubt. The mysterious energy is an ability of all the Royal Bloodlines of these humans.'

Azaroth responded, "Those warriors aren't my match. I had been expecting those reinforcements when I acted against you. After all, you are currently a Royal Family Member."

Black Hurricane's pupils narrowed at that statement, and he spoke, "I see.. You are one of those fools who wish to continue the pointless fight against fate."

'What did he just say? Fight against fate?'

Azaroth spoke with a calm tone, "I can't be sure unless I try it."

"Even though you could perfectly survive that attack, those reinforcements are still about to arrive. I wonder what would occur if I attack you with the intent to kill again. Would a 6 Star Warrior come to protect you?" Azaroth asked with a slight grin.

Hell Flames was released from his palm, and he shot them towards Black Hurricane.

The Black Hurricane was prepared for such an attack as an array formed underneath his feet. It was a vacuum barrier, combined with an array that provided it more stability and prevented the Hell Flames from making the vacuum barrier collapse again.

"Showing my face to you? So what if you know of it?" Azaroth asked with a matter-of-fact tone.

That tone and expression on Azaroth's face made Black Hurricane think with a frown 'Does he not fear that I would have someone make his portrait and order the kingdom to search for him? Does that mean he hides in a place the Glerian Kingdom cannot find him? What is this guy? Is he a human or a demon?'

Azaroth didn't require the Mystic Eyes of Perception to understand what Black Hurricane was thinking.

'This guy is confused.. Should I really try to kill him?' Azaroth thought in his heart.

'I should test more of the Royal Bloodline's abilities. If he really dies, well, the Royal Bloodline isn't as impressive as I was expecting. If he does survive, his presence could be useful in the future.'

Soon, Azaroth disappeared from his spot. He had charged towards Black Hurricane.

A demonic sword had appeared in his hands. It was one of the strongest swords he could utilize at his current level.

"Heaven Rending Slash!" Azaroth used the sword skill he had taught Noah.

Unlike Noah's slash filled with Sword Intent, Azaroth's Heaven Rending Slash was filled with pure power and bloodlust.

When this Sword Skill clashed against the Vacuum Barrier and the array supporting it, it failed to resist for even a second before collapsing.

Black Hurricane had already moved back from the spot to dodge Azaroth's Heaven Rending Slash!

Azaroth didn't plan to let him off and chased after him.

Just when he was about to slash him again, Black Hurricane seemed to have prepared for a countermeasure as he suddenly disappeared and another human reappeared at that spot.

'The substitution array! He seems to have created them on his subordinates to substitute his position with them and run away. What a good trick.'

Azaroth was already in motion and couldn't stop right now. He slashed that human and then looked around with his Mystic Eyes of Perception.

He soon found Black Hurricane, but he was rather far away. Azaroth called out for Zena to chase after this man.

The experiment wasn't over yet!

The Black Hurricane had used substitution to save his life, but this technique had a particular range in which it was effective

Moreover, the Black Hurricane couldn't use this array again. This was a limitation of this kind of array. Only a single array could be drawn on the body.

Zena soon appeared, and Azaroth stood over her large body and ordered her to chase after Black Hurricane.

Zena shot off towards the Black Hurricane as she used her top speed. Her entire body was crackling with red lightning as she moved forwards!

Azaroth ignored the human warriors he saw and focused on the Black Hurricane.

"Alright. This is as far as you go," Azaroth whispered as he pointed his finger at Black Hurricane.

Suddenly, the dark web shot out of his wrist and stuck with the Black Hurricane's leg.

The Black Hurricane felt the dark web stick to his leg. He immediately looked back.

'Shit!' This was the first word he thought when he saw Azaroth holding a dark web string that was stuck to his leg.

Azaroth gave him a disdainful smirk as he pulled that web string.

The Black Hurricane felt that he could no longer fly forwards. In fact, he was flying in Azaroth's direction.

Hell Flames covered Azaroth's fists as he waited for Black Hurricane's body to arrive.

The Black Hurricane had naturally utilized his strongest defensive body skill he knew as he braced himself for impact.

Azaroth sensed multiple attacks approaching him from other human warriors around them.

'No..This is not the activation of that mysterious ability. Otherwise, this lapse of timing wouldn't have occurred. This guy is still not in life-threatening danger yet.'

Azaroth punched Black Hurricane's stomach, and it easily pierced his guts.

"Dark Tornado!" Just as Azaroth had punched Black Hurricane's guts, Black Hurricane used this technique and created a dark tornado around them!

Azaroth sensed many wind blades in this Dark Tornado that were trying to harm him. He created a hell flames barrier around his body while thinking 'No need to reveal my wind or lightning element yet.'

The Black Hurricane immediately cut off his lower body so that his upper body could escape Azaroth's grasps. He then left the Dark Tornado while gazing in Azaroth's direction with a sneering look.

He spoke, "This is the price you pay for your arrogance."

Soon, he whispered slowly, "Forbidden Regeneration Skill!"

Suddenly, the Black Hurricane's upper body was shining with white light. His vitality reduced significantly while his lower body began to regenerate.

It was a swift regeneration. As expected of a forbidden technique.

Meanwhile, the dark wind tornado that he utilized against Azaroth had turned converted into pure purple flames.

That Hell Flame Tornado was heading away from Azaroth and Black Hurricane's position.
