Chapter 760 The Next Target
"By the way, I hope Liam's father has recovered and returned to his family," Elena said.
All eyes turned to Desira, who still clung tightly to Azazel as if she didn't want to let him go.
Sensing the scrutiny, Desira answered their unspoken question with a simple, "Yes. He should be back to normal by now. All of them should be. I've burned all the contracts they had with me, and the charms I had on them are nullified."
"That's good to hear," Lorelai chimed in. "Now I don't have to resort to violence," she added to herself. "Though Desira is the Warlord of Lust and Desire, her true job is to ensure that devils and demons can't be consumed by their lusts. Similarly, demons and devils without motivations and desires are given purpose through her potions and powers," explained Vivi. "So, her role is somewhat important here?" Elena asked.
Vivi nodded.
Desira smiled proudly and faux whined, "I've got to say, it's not an easy task. If not for Lord Azazel, I would have killed those wretched demons and devils who are giving me a hard time."
Lorelai briefly glanced at Desira and then stared at Vivi. "Is it alright to give her that important role?" she deadpanned.
Azazel laughed. "It's fine. Desira is good at her job, and Hubrion is always there to stop her whenever she wants to kill someone."
"Hubrion?" Elena inquired. This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
Azazel, Vivi, and Desira paused before they reminisced.
"Ah, Hubrion," Azazel smiled a little. "He's one of my warlords and governs pride."
Desira sighed. "He's scary and prideful. His pride is both his strength and his downfall, blinding him to his own flaws."
Vivi looked worried. "I wonder how he has taken the corruption."
Both Vivi and Desira's faces turned solemn.
"What's wrong with this warlord?" Evie asked.
Azazel and the others exchanged a look.
"What happened to your confidence in your right-hand man?" Lorelai asked in incredulity.
"That would be best," Desira agreed. "Let's get the corruption from her first and build up your powers so that by the time you face Hubrion, you stood a chance against him if ever he wanted to kill you."
"Right now, Lord Azazel is weak. You need to get your powers back first," Vivi seconded.
"I know already," Azazel waved his hand in dismissal. "And you guys are merely worrying about nothing. Hubrion would never kill me."
Desira and Vivi only stared at him with dead-set eyes.
"Lord Azazel, I also didn't want to kill you, but the moment I saw you with the corruption inside me, all I wanted was to devour you alive," Vivi commented.
"Same goes for me," Desira chimed in and winked suggestively at Azazel. "If you know what I mean."
Azazel's smile faltered. On the side, Ren really wanted to go to Hubrion. He wanted to go to the strongest demon first, but if it meant risking Azazel's life, then it wouldn't be worth it.
"Looks like we have no choice then," Ren gave up.
Azazel grinned. "Don't worry, guys, Ren and the others are strong; they will protect me. Ahahaha!"
Lorelai slapped his head. "Enough, you thick skinned idiot. If you're the Demon Lord then act like one!"
"Agh! Lord Azazel!" Desira readily came to his rescue.
"You should get stronger yourself," Ren commented with a wry sigh.
"Then looks like our destination is set to Lethargia, the Warlord of Sloth," Vivi announced.
"Sloth?" Evie muttered and side-commented, "Looks like my kind of thing."
Ren stifled a laugh, while Elena couldn't help but added, "Looks like our hunt for Salister Kane turned into hunts for warlords and their corruption."
Upon hearing Salister's name, Azazel quickly regained his composure and said, "Ah, yes. You're seeking that man, aren't you? Lethargia might be able to assist you."
