A Demon's Journey

Since Sargan was surprised, he took a short pause before responding to Azaroth's question.

"You are right, master. This woman has quite a unique identity. You might not believe it, but this woman belongs to a family that was forced to flee from Lamhilhan Theocracy because the previous Supreme Pontiff was completely against them."

"It has been nearly 17 years since they escaped from Lamhilhan Theocracy. This woman's family had quite a bit of prestige there. If not for the death of her elder brother, who was the direct inheritor of her family, her father would have become the Supreme Pontiff of the Lamhilhan Theocracy."

"Her family entered the Glerian Kingdom to escape the clutches of the Lamhilhan Theocracy. The Royal Family of the Glerian Kingdom received information about these trespassers, and they soon found out their true identity."

Azaroth understood the rest of the story.

This reputed family of the Lamhilhan Theocracy was placed under direct custody of the Royal Family of the Glerian Kingdom.

The King was sheltering them in hopes of using them in the future. And the time had come now.

The young heiress of the family had grown up into a beautiful woman. He had also found a candidate who could go over to the Lamhilhan Theocracy and assist him from there.

According to the King, this honey trap was guaranteed to succeed. Dylan Ross was a very horny individual who couldn't say no to beautiful women. Thus, Camille shouldn't have any issues manipulating him.

However, he had never expected the intervention of some other party at this time. Sargan's involvement in this matter was bound to make it more complicated.

In reality, today, Sargan's actions have made it easier for Camille to manipulate Dylan Ross.

Dylan Ross was quite shocked and furious that someone had managed to abduct Camille from his camp. He was about to give his subordinates a piece of his mind.

All of them were useless! They weren't patrolling seriously and allowed Camille to be captured like that. What prestige would he have in front of her?! How could he face her now?!

These were the worries in his mind.

However, Camille was actually quite calm as she noticed that Sargan had escaped, and it was Dylan in front of her.

Camille soon understood the situation. She guessed that Sargan knew he wasn't Dylan's match, so he escaped as soon as Dylan entered his territory.

However, this incident had given her a perfect opportunity. She wasn't planning to waste it.

Tears began to flow out of Camille's eyes. She was genuinely sad because an unknown man had abducted her and found out all her secrets.

Dylan Ross was startled to see this woman crying. He had been quite attracted to this beauty due to her appearance, temperament, and knowledge.

It had been a short time since he met Camille, but they had opened up quite nicely. She was a little shy about some crude matters that Dylan and his subordinates talked about. But overall, it was quite fun to be around her.

Dylan Ross was a rather sentimental individual. He liked this woman and couldn't see her cry like that. He went forward and hugged her. His arm caressed her back slowly as he spoke, "Don't worry, it's all right now. That guy didn't do anything bad to you, right?"

Upon hearing that question, Camille began to sob even more loudly. After a few seconds, she spoke, "I don't know who he was. But I think he was sent by my family's rivals."

"Family's rivals? Who are they?! Even if it's an aristocrat family or a sect, I will make them pay the price for targeting you!" Dylan Ross swore loudly.

This oath made Camille raise her head and look at Dylan Ross deeply. Even though he was so weak, it appeared that he was ready to move mountains and rivers for her. She was quite touched as she noticed this, and she felt as though butterflies began to flutter in her stomach.

Camille soon shook herself from that trance and murmured, "…My family's rivals aren't from the Glerian Kingdom. They belong to the Lamhilhan Theocracy."

"Ehh?" Dylan Ross showed a confused expression. He had absolutely no idea what Camille was talking about.

Camille soon began to explain the entire situation. In the end, Dylan understood that the situation was a lot more complicated than he had expected.

"From our contacts in the Lamhilhan Theocracy, my family found out that the current Pontiff is dead. And the Lamhilhan Theocracy's government had split up into many factions who are fighting against each other to place their representative of the Supreme Pontiff position."

"My family still has quite some prestige in Lamhilhan Theocracy. It has only been 17 years since we left the Lamhilhan Theocracy. We can still send our representative to stand for the Supreme Pontiff position. If our representative manages to grab hold of the Supreme Pontiff position, no one will dare to make a move against us. In fact, we can use all resources of the Lamhilhan Theocracy at our own discretion." Camille explained the entire situation to Dylan Ross.

It wasn't as simple as it sounded. Neither the King nor Camille believed their representative could grab hold of the Supreme Pontiff position. It was natural because the other factions in the Lamhilhan Theocracy weren't stupid.

They weren't going to allow Camille's family representative to grab hold of the Supreme Pontiff position.

Each one had betrayed or taken some unspeakable actions against Camille's family. If Camille's family's representative becomes the Supreme Pontiff, they will face disastrous losses.

Meanwhile, Dylan Ross's eyes shone with excitement as he heard this information. He had no idea that the situation in the Lamhilhan Theocracy was so chaotic.

He required a great number of resources for his cultivation and for the angel with him. Things would be a lot more convenient for him if he had the entire Lamhilhan Theocracy's resources in his grasps.

The High-Ranking Angel sent him a mental message, "You should go to this Lamhilhan Theocracy. If the situation hasn't changed, then it's one of my best friends who manages that area. I can recover my power easily and assist you in becoming the Supreme Pontiff of this Lamhilhan Theocracy."

"Even the grand elders cannot ignore a command from a high-ranking angel who manages that area," continued that angel.

Dylan Ross was instantly excited to hear those words. It sounded too good to be true. This meant he didn't have to work hard and could easily be able to accomplish his objective.

"Don't get so excited. For that, you need to grow stronger. No one would listen to a 3 Star Rank Expert. At the least, become a 5 Star Warrior till then." The angel immediately chided Dylan Ross as she noticed his emotions.

Dylan Ross calmed down slightly after the angel admonished him. He asked Camille, "When will the Supreme Pontiff be chosen?"

"It will depend on the will of the people and heaven. However, it should take around 3 months before all the requirements are fulfilled," Camille responded truthfully.

"3 months, huh?" Dylan Ross murmured underneath his breath. He calculated how he could reach the 5 Star Rank within 3 months.

However, he came up with nothing.

The angel within him wasn't so worried. She had a method of raising his cultivation, but she wasn't going to reveal it to him right now.

It was through the baptism of the Holy Church.
