The battle between the Archangels and the Glerian Kingdom's experts continued for nearly two days. It had reached a rather weird stalemate as the Saber Emperor and Bryon held off the Archangels.

The Archangels were also rather tired. They had overexerted their Spirit in the last two days and urgently required a long rest. However, relaxing at this moment meant death, so they could only continue with their fight.

Both parties ingested their heavenly pellets to recover their strength and managed to continue their fight for two whole days.

The fight was so high-leveled that Azaroth didn't find an opportunity to intervene. He noticed that Bryon left no openings for Azaroth to attack him. On the Archangels' side, Esther remained alert for an unknown attack.

Thus, Azaroth decided to stay in the forest and meditate. His affinity with Nature had greatly improved, and Azaroth could sense the mysterious power in the Elven Blood.

He could sense a connection with a great entity. It didn't take him long to figure out that this great entity could only be the World Tree, Yggdrasil.historical

'So, that's how the elves know the location of the Elven Kingdom. It's an instinctive feeling that originates from their blood. Their blood connects them to Yggdrasil and allows them to sense its location from any part of the world,' Azaroth guessed.

Suddenly, Azaroth sensed a rather dangerous presence in his range. He instinctively guessed the identity of this individual 'Inquisitor Fox?! He is here?'

Azaroth unconsciously recalled that future vision he had seen when his Mystic Eyes of Perception evolved to another level.

'That God-Ranked Expert must not be far. If so, it's time to activate the last resort,' Azaroth closed his eyes and concentrated greatly.

White streams of pure Spiritual Energy were released from his body and connected to all parts of his Spirit that had been implanted in other people or objects.

It took nearly an hour for him to connect to all parts of his Spirit. He resolutely annihilated all portions of his Spirit after he accomplished that. Including the Mystical Spiritual Connection Rings.

Now, his retainers couldn't use those rings to talk to Azaroth or receive his Spirit's support.

All his retainers noticed that their Mystical Spiritual Connection Rings had gotten a bit dull. Everyone except for Noah and William was confused regarding this phenomenon.

Azaroth opened his eyes and sensed the presence of a God-Ranked Expert. He wasn't startled to sense that aura. It almost felt like a déjà vu to him.

He could guess what was coming next. However, Azaroth still decided to run. He was flying at his quickest speed, and fortunately for him, the God-Ranked Expert didn't seem to be after him.

At this moment, Shun met up with his comrades who had infiltrated the Glerian Kingdom by following Tronte. They were the ones who could recognize Azaroth. It was crucial to meet with them and wait for the Saint to arrive.

Qin Feng mentioned that the Saint would knowingly flare his power after reaching the Glerian Kingdom's capital. Shun had to quickly meet her and guide her to Azaroth's location!

Once Azaroth noticed that he had quite a bit of time since this God-Ranked Expert didn't know his identity or location, another plan formed in his head.

He changed his direction and rushed towards the battlefield where the three Archangels were fighting the two human experts.

Azaroth planned to acquire one of those God-Ranked Celestial Weapons to survive this troublesome situation! However, seizing a God-Ranked Celestial Weapon from an Archangel was easier said than done.

He had to wait for a fitting moment to make his move and seize that weapon. But unfortunately, time was not on his side. Thus, he had to think of a way to seize that weapon quickly!

'It was a good thing that I waited for 2 days. Both sides are rather tired, and their attacks' power can't be compared to their peak. Even their concentration has fallen greatly.'

Azaroth analyzed the battle calmly for nearly half an hour. On the surface, there were no weak points to be exploited in this battle, but Azaroth planned to create a weak point!

He pulled out the Frozen Hell Longbow and launched a barrage of arrows at Esther and Mira. Those arrows couldn't truly harm the Archangels, but they successfully grabbed their attention.

Azaroth succeeded in his mission as the Saber Emperor's attack suddenly struck Mira. The twin daggers fell out of her hands as the Saber Emperor launched another barrage of Saber Techniques on her.

Esther kept her eyes focused on those twin daggers and planned to retrieve them as quickly as possible. But first, she had to restrain the Saber Emperor.

She also sent a stream of Radiant Energy to grab hold of those twin daggers. However, Azaroth's arrows struck those twin daggers and pushed them out of the way.

Esther wanted to glare at Azaroth, but she kept her eyes focused on the Saber Emperor, whose attacks were becoming a bit ferocious.

Esther was sure that this was the last moment of brilliance for the Saber Emperor. As long as they could endure these volley of attacks, they would be fine. Then, they would only have to deal with Bryon.

Azaroth closed the gap by using Void Steps to get closer to the Twin Daggers quickly. And a couple of seconds later, he grabbed hold of those daggers. He knew that he could utilize these daggers only by employing Holy Ardor.

He grabbed hold of these twin daggers for two reasons. The first reason was to make the Archangels lose.

The Saber Emperor wouldn't find it too challenging to kill two Archangels now. Only Esther could escape if she decided to abandon her comrades.

Just as Azaroth was escaping, he sensed someone attacking him. When he looked back, he noticed an arrow approaching him at an unreal speed.

Azaroth quickly turned his body and met that arrow with the twin daggers. Both daggers struck that arrow which resulted in a massive explosion. Azaroth was thrown far back due to the explosion's shockwave, but he managed to preserve his life.

In the distance, Bryon clicked his tongue in annoyance. He wanted to kill Azaroth with that attack, but he realized it wouldn't be so easy to deal with him.

Bryon focused on the Archangels ahead of him and planned to kill them all. After thinking for some time, Esther made up her mind to escape.

She knew that it was hopeless to continue this battle. She might even lose her Judgement Trident to the humans. This would be a great loss for the Radiant Church.

Esther searched for the Twin Daggers and was surprised that she could no longer sense them. She sensed the presence of a King-Ranked Expert and guessed that he must possess the Twin Daggers.

However, if she pursued him, she would have to go even deeper into the Glerian Kingdom's territory. That would be a bad idea for her since the Saber Emperor and Bryon could work together to trap her after dealing with her comrades.

Meanwhile, Azaroth tried to control his body to land on the ground. When he landed on the ground, he noticed it was a rather familiar location.

He was near the Crario City. He gazed in the west direction and noticed that multiple individuals were flying towards him, including the Inquisitor Fox and that God-Ranked Warrior.

'..They are heading in my direction. I guess a confrontation is natural,' Azaroth thought while preparing himself.

He was on his feet and prepared for the two to arrive.

After a couple of minutes, the two arrived. They were very near to his position. The others probably identified Azaroth before Inquisitor Fox ordered them to stay away. Their task was over.

Inquisitor Fox didn't want Azaroth to use them in his scheme.

Before long, the two flew right before him. Inquisitor Fox's presence had become even more powerful, while the woman next to him gave him a rather horrifying feeling.

"Greetings, Azaroth. It's been a long time since we met," Inquisitor Fox started off with a rather polite greeting to Azaroth. An onlooker might have mistaken them as old friends.

Azaroth smiled in response, "You finally managed to reach me, Inquisitor Fox. And it seems that you made sure to prevent me from escaping this time."

"That is correct," Inquisitor Fox responded calmly.

In the meantime, the Nine Yin Saintess glanced at the twin daggers in Azaroth's hands and used her powerful Ardor to pull them from Azaroth's grasps.

Azaroth hadn't yet linked to these twin daggers, so it was impossible for him to make use of the Divine Energy within these daggers to resist the Nine Yin Saintess.
