Obviously, when he came to know about the map. He was somewhat delighted and wanted to check out such a place himself. He also didn't want to have a smaller number of hands to return with the treasure, so he gathered a high number of Demons.
Even though this was the case, Naomi was quickly able to paint him as a selfish demon who simply wanted all the treasure for himself. He also wanted to destroy Azaroth's territory in one surprise attack.
It wasn't just Azaroth who was listening to her. The subordinates behind Azaroth were also looking with interest. Their eyes flashed with a trace of anger and suddenly attacked Bakaul while shouting, "How dare you plan to attack our Lord!? Pay with your lives!"
Bakaul was already enraged at the false accusations. This idiot jumped up and provided a target for Bakaul to release his frustrations. It could be said that his luck was indeed one of the worst in the whole world.
After this attack, it was impossible to stop the upcoming war between the two Demon Lords. Naomi used this chance to walk away and gain some distance.
With a blissful look on her face, she closed her eyes and began using a strange technique. It not only concealed her presence but a faint reddish aura from the battlefield started flowing into her body.
Seven Tails appeared behind her body as they were flailing around. There was one of her tails that seemed to be cut off.
It was healing at a rapid pace. After around half an hour, it was completely healed, and there was a cold smile on Naomi's face.
This was what she had been planning. She wanted to absorb the baleful aura of these demons after their death for the recovery of her tail.
Even though it had been quite some time since Saito cut it off. She hadn't been able to recover it back. Also though she had slaughtered around 100's of demons, it simply wasn't enough.
The only place where she could gather such a strong baleful aura was in a war between two demons. Initially, she was planning on making the Sea Dragon Clan ally themselves with one of these two and destroy the other.
Her goal had been the same. After regaining that tailback, she licked her lips as the power overflowed inside of her. This was the best way for her to get stronger while not even lifting a finger.
The Demon Lords were engaged in their own fierce battle to notice Naomi. A moment of hesitation or negligence would be fatal for either of them.

Some more trees appeared in the middle of members of the Sea Dragon Clan, but it was swiftly cut apart by the Clan Head of the Sea Dragon Clan. He had to move towards the members one by one and disperse the illusion using his own strong magic while also keeping an eye on any trees that suddenly appeared.
It slowed him down quite a lot. The total casualties were around 30% of the members of their clan with 5 of them being the Elite members. It was a significant loss. To lose these members of the clan even without a fight… It made him angry, just thinking about it.
Though he was angry, he made sure to not let his magic flare up. If he flared his magic, they were all as good as dead.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the forest, Saito was breathing hastily. It was rather hard for him to suddenly grow those trees and control them.
The magic it took was immense. Even his enormous reserves were nearly exhausted. After a few seconds, he stopped channelizing magic within the trees and took some time to recover.
Fortunately, with the presence of Nightfall Sword, he wouldn't be in any danger. He recovered around 35% of his magic and let the rest remain within the sword.
Saito jumped on some trees and moved from his position while thinking 'Good… I should have bought enough time. 2-3 hours should be enough for the two of them to get even farther. As the members of the Royal Bloodline, their skills shouldn't be too shabby.'
His head turned towards the direction in which the Sea Dragon Clan was moving. He estimated their speed and slowly muttered, "With their speed… They should take a day to get to this position. I can rest here tonight. I guess it won't be possible for me to attack them again now. Tomorrow… I should return. My mission should be considered complete now."
He closed his eyes and took a nap at one of the large trees. His aura blended one with nature and wholly covered his presence.
Even Naomi wouldn't be able to find him now. Saito had one last thought about how the Eternal Knights were training right now. He let out a sigh in disappointment as he murmured, "I planned to have them go out in groups and fight against beasts to fight for their own food. Looks like my plan will have no choice but to be delayed if I don't return soon. I must return to the Elf Kingdom to give these inner cores of the Sea Dragons to the Shadow Lightning Wolves. Increasing their strength is very important… Besides, Joergen and Emma can have the remaining two. Well… It's good that Crimson's new place is close to the Elf Forest."
He tried to calm down all his thoughts and rest. Tomorrow, he could delay them some more time by using traps and then return.
~~
The war continued for the whole night. By the morning, the number of demons had been cut by half on both sides though Bakaul's side was showing signs of exhaustion.
The Demon Lords had started fighting near their armies but as the fight continued, they had drifted away before they realized it.
Right now, there were around 2-3 miles away from the main army. The area around them was completely cleared without the presence of a single thing.
The explosive demonic blasts continued as Azaroth deflected them before charging up his own attack. At that time, he suddenly stopped and jumped high in the air while staring down at the ground.
Bakaul was somewhat confused by his actions and furrowed his brows as he noticed three Purple Colored Blades pass through that position.
Those blades were created out of Sword Qi. They were also completely demonic in nature which indicated that a demon had managed to condense a Sword Qi.
It was rare to see a Demon with a Sword Qi. It required great comprehension abilities regarding the weapon and a strong fanatism. For a demon, their weapons normally break rather quickly.
To have formed a Sword Qi was very surprising. They heard chuckling sounds, "Heh… I never expected to walk into such a favorable situation. Looks like I am quite lucky. Don't you all think so too?"
Soon enough, 10 people jumped within the area. All of them carry a strong demonic aura. The one with the Purple Colored Sword Qi was easily identified. He was the one in the middle with those cold purple-colored eyes.
The was Alvaneth! Alvaneth and his team!
Every demon in the surrounding was surprised by his entry. The two Demon Lords… The Demon Kings fighting some distance away. The one who was reaping the benefits alone until now, Naomi!
Not one of them expected his presence. Naomi frowned as she sensed his strong aura. Her senses were a lot sharper than any other demon. She could feel that intimidating aura from Alvaneth. And not just Alvaneth but from the other demons along with his as well.
Other than Alvaneth and one more aura, all the other ones didn't reach the level of Demon Lord but they were far above the likes of the Demon Kings. Between a fight of Demon Lords, these demons could be the decisive element for victory.
Naomi remained in her hiding place as she wanted to gauge their skills and plan further ahead. Her eyes widened when the Sword Qi was suddenly rushing towards her.
She realized that her position was revealed. She had no choice but to jump back and further hide her presence within the dense forest.
The Sword Qi slashed the area where she was standing earlier but to no avail. Alvaneth let out a 'tch' and muttered, "Coward…"
His eyes focused on the two Demon Lords who were initially fighting against each other. They had temporarily stopped fighting against each other to deal with this foreign threat.
The first to move his mouth was Azaroth, "Who are you? Why are you dropping between our fight? Just what is your intention?" His words appeared to be rude but he was taking quick breaths and it was easy to misunderstand.
Raising his eyebrow, Alvaneth appeared to be confused as he moved his mouth, "My name is Alvaneth. As for my intentions, I believe those are rather clear."
He snapped his fingers with a look of excitement in his eyes.. He stared at Helena at the corner of his eyes, "Go and fight."
