A Demon's Journey

The flames around Edwin moved in response to his thoughts, attacking his opponents, who tried to get closer to him to kill him.

Jonas was startled as he saw the purple flames approaching him. He jumped back and dodged those purple flames.

From that, he found out that those flames had a limited reach. They could only extend up to 50 meters around Edwin's body.

Stretching any longer than that, the flames would be too weak to damage a 6 Star Warrior.

Only the 6 Star Warriors dared to approach Edwin while the 5 Star Warriors flew a little farther away and launched their long-ranged attacks at him.

Edwin ignored those long-ranged attacks. His Golden Flames would meet those attacks head-on and nullify them.

Thus, Edwin didn't need to split his attention for those attacks.

He was focused on the 6 Star Warriors around him. Using his Mystic Eyes of Perception, he checked their emotions and guessed who would attack first.

Suddenly, one of the 6 Star Warriors flew towards Edwin. The Purple Flames naturally targeted him and tried to burn him.

A protective aura was created around that warrior's body as it protected him from those terrifying Purple Flames.

His fists were lit up with orange-colored energy.

'Coming for a fistfight, huh?' Edwin thought with a disdainful look on his face.

He could sense that his opponent didn't possess any intent even though he was a 6 Star Warrior. He had reached this rank not through his own power but by inheriting the power of another expert.

Warriors who advanced by relying on the work of others would never make it far on this road of cultivation.

Moreover, this kind of warrior would possess very weak individual strength.

The Purple Flames were recalled by Edwin. He was letting this warrior come closer to him and fight him in close combat.

When the two were close enough, his opponent launched a punch at Edwin with his fist glowing with orange ardor.

Edwin dodged that attack by flying to the side and punched his face. This punch wasn't that strong since Edwin didn't want him to fly away.

Suddenly, Edwin kicked his upper body. This kick was very strong as it broke and burned his opponent's upper body.

The other warriors noticed that Edwin was focused on his opponent in his close combat battle and felt it was an opportunity to gang up on him.

They immediately charged towards Edwin with their quickest possible speed. When Edwin sensed all these warriors coming towards him, he smirked gleefully.

Edwin was building up energy within his body as he flew in a straight direction. He was flying in the Lamhilhan Theocracy's direction!

The warriors around Edwin were confused and shocked.

Jonas was the one who figured out what Edwin was up to. Because no warriors were remaining on the periphery, he wanted all the warriors to converge on his position so he could make a break for it.

The warriors couldn't change their directions so sharply and so suddenly. Thus, it would take some time for them to begin following Edwin with their top speed.

Although their speed might be a little faster than him, Edwin could use these Flames and those Electrical Mines to slow them down.

"What a monster. Even in such a situation, he hasn't lost hope and can actually succeed in escaping from us," One of the warriors commented.

Another warrior who was following Edwin responded, "True. Most warriors would have given up by now."

"Initially, I didn't understand why the King wanted all of us to work against a single warrior. But now I see, he is strong and slippery," Another warrior commented.

Suddenly, they activated the Electrical Mines left behind by Edwin. However, along with the Electrical Mines, he left a small gift for them.

This time, it was in the form of a small sphere of Hell Flames. They immediately activated after the Electric Mines were activated.

A small explosion occurred around those Electrical Mines as those Hell Flame Spheres activated.

A few warriors paused as they witnessed those explosions. Only later did they realize that the damage from the explosions wouldn't be that great.

It would only leave behind a couple of bruises.

They realized that Edwin was playing with their minds. If this continued on, he would soon escape!

Just as Edwin continued to fly forwards, he sensed another group of warriors ahead of him.

Edwin was quite shocked this time. These warriors numbered nearly a few dozens. And they were all 6 Star Warriors.

'Their aura isn't weak. They can be considered strong even within the 6 Star Rank. I need to think of a solution quickly,' Edwin thought.

Just when Edwin was thinking of running in another direction, he soon saw the warriors who were charging towards him.

One such warrior caught his attention. A warrior was wearing the Fox Mask, and he was entirely concealed from Edwin's senses.

'Inquisitor Fox as well, huh?' Edwin thought as he stared at this man's mask.

'I should figure out his identity. It would be useful for my true body,' Edwin thought as he changed his mind. He had decided to fight against these warriors.

Edwin immediately dashed towards Inquisitor Fox and his group of warriors. He had already pulled out his Demonic Sword and empowered it with his Hell Flames to damage his opponents.

As he moved forwards, a couple of 6 Star Warriors launched their attacks as well.

"<strong>Combo Move: Lightning Flame Tiger!</strong>"

This attack was utilized by two warriors. They combined their abilities and created a Lightning Flame Tiger just ahead of themselves.

However, the Lightning Flame Tiger couldn't withstand the combined might of the Hell Flames and the Holy Flames.

These Flames were at a higher tier as compared to their elements. Thus, the Lightning Flame Tiger was soon dispersed.

Meanwhile, Edwin noticed that Inquisitor Fox had moved from his spot. There was a sparkly light around his palm.

'The heck?!' This sparkly light completely shocked Edwin as he recognized this energy.

"<strong>Stardust!</strong>" Inquisitor Fox whispered slowly as he launched that sparkly light at Edwin.

Edwin immediately raised his arms and brought both his Flames ahead of his body to block that Stardust.

With the combined might of his Holy and Hell Flames, he managed to barely block that Stardust attack.

Nearly all the particles had been burned by those two flames.

'Shit! He possesses <strong>Starforce</strong>! I never imagined that this Inquisitor Fox was an Inheritor of the Stars. To think I would meet an <strong>Inheritor of Stars</strong> so soon in this life!' Edwin thought as he continued to block the Stardust.

He then heard Inquisitor Fox's voice, "Attack him now! I have already spread the Stardust around him. He can't move from his spot!"

Suddenly, a chain appeared from those flames that coiled around Edwin's legs.

Edwin resisted and used both his flames to burn it off, but it didn't work. The chain was getting tighter.

It didn't work even after he gathered all of his elements and launched them at this chain. He was still restrained by the chain.

Edwin eventually discovered that he couldn't reach out to his Ardor. The flames that had enveloped him had vanished, and Edwin could be seen imprisoned in the chains that coiled around his body.

Edwin's horns and Wings had already vanished once those chains trapped him.
