Hearing that voice, the Demon Lord Azaroth was dumbfounded as he thought 'Give me a break, dammit. Even this savage brute is here! I can't fight against him in my current condition.'

This was none other than Demon Lord Tarodoch. He had finally arrived with his army. He looked somewhat dumbfounded when he saw a large army seemingly in wait of greeting him.

He looked towards the side of Azaroth and saw that Demon Lord Bakaul was sitting together. He blinked 3 times as if trying to digest the current situation and finally spoke with a prideful voice, "I didn't think you knew about my surprise attack against you. You even requested help from Bakaul and his army. Were you that scared of me?"

At this moment, Azaroth was doing his best to recover his strength. He immediately cursed Tarodoch within his mind 'Scared of you? Why are you talking as if you are superior to me? Have you fucking forgotten how many times I have beaten you that you had to crawl back?'

Obviously, he didn't speak anything. If he mentioned this then Tarodoch was sure to get extremely mad and charge over like the brute he was.

Right after the first clash, he would determine that both Azaroth and Bakaul barely had 10% of their demonic magic left. It was far from being able to fight against Tarodoch.

Even though Tarodoch was a brute, he had created some clever techniques which could even injure a Demon Lord seriously. One of them was the fearful Demon Sun. At Azaroth and Bakaul's current condition, they would be killed by that fearsome attack effortlessly.

What was even worse for the two Demon Lords was that their armies were not at their full strength. The number of causalities had long since exceeded 50% on both sides. They barely matched Tarodoch's army in number even if they joined forces.

Moreover, their low morale due to the low strength of their Great Demon Kings and Demon Lords was another factor that affected the entire situation.

Meanwhile, Tarodoch's army was completely fresh without any injuries and with high morale. If these two armies were to clash against each other then, Tarodoch's army would crush these two armies.

The greenish-blue blood on Azaroth's and Bakaul's bodies stopped flowing out of their wounds but it was clear that they were in peril.

At this moment, not only Demon Lord Tarodoch not charge at them immediately. He looked at one of his men and signaled him to move forward.

The Great Demon King moved forward and knew what he had to do.

Azaroth and Bakaul's pupils went wide when they felt a strange Demonic Magic spreading in the air. It was like the wind. If they wanted to stop it, they would need to use half of their remaining magic left.

If they didn't make a move, the Demon Lord Tarodoch would be informed of the current situation and he would immediately charge at them showing no mercy.

Meanwhile, if they made a move then their powers would be reduced even further. If at that moment, Demon Lord Tarodoch suddenly got crazy then nobody would be able to stop him.

As the situation got uglier, Azaroth looked at Bakaul with a bitter smile as he said, "It seems that our situation is rather grim… hahaha…"

"What are you laughing for? Do you find it amusing that both of us are doomed? Dammit… This didn't even have anything to do with me. This crazy demon obviously wanted to deal with you only with the history the two of you have. Even I am caught in such a situation because of you." Bakaul looked a little angry at how carefree Azaroth was being right now.

"Isn't it amusing how we got in such a situation because of a woman?" Azaroth said with a laugh.

Bakaul didn't understand what was so amusing and asked him, "What do you mean? Aren't you diverting your mind from the current situation Azaroth? Look in front of you, tell me, do you have a plan or not?"

Instead of answering his question, Azaroth says, "My mind is suddenly clear… I don't understand what happened but I feel like I have been manipulated. Do you believe it Bakaul? Me… The Demon Lord Azaroth was manipulated by a woman! And I failed to detect it!"

Bakaul glared at him from the corner of his eyes as if saying "Pathetic." His face turned into a scowl as he kept monitoring Tarodoch's movements.

In contrast, Azaroth didn't seem like he was worried at all. Azaroth turned to look at Bakaul and said, "Since this situation occurred because of my foolishness and my pathetic ability, naturally I will be the one to pay for it."

Instantly, the fire within his body started burning more fiercely than ever. He had a look of determination as he stepped forward with large strides while speaking, "Tarodoch! Don't you want to fight against me! Isn't that why you wanted to wage war against me? I know you have no interest in territory or army… You simply want to kill me. Isn't that right?"

Tarodoch visibly shook as he heard Azaroth's words. He was somewhat dumbfounded. From his subordinates' words, he knew that both Azaroth and Bakaul were injured. They had less than 15% of their whole magic left.

But he didn't understand. Just why did he still feel inferior to Azaroth at this moment. With just 15% of his magic, Azaroth was able to instill fear into him.

However, he remained calm on the surface and spoke, "Your fake bravado won't work against me, Azaroth. I don't know what happened before I arrived but it seems as though you are on your last legs. You only have a pitiful 15% of your whole magic left. You can't survive this!"

"Yeah." Came the calm reply of Azaroth who confidently accepted what Tarodoch said. But he continued in a confident manner, "But that's enough to deal with you."

The Demonic Fire fiercely burned around him. Azaroth looked back at his subordinates one last time. All of them had lowered their heads. They knew what was happening and despaired that they couldn't stop it.

"Raise your heads! You are my soldiers! The ones whom I trained! Show me your strong will! One isn't strong because he can defeat 100 strong warriors in his peak condition. He is strong when he can defeat a strong warrior in his weakest condition. Now, RISE!" His loud roar seemed to have woken them all instantly.

They raised their heads and looked straight towards the back of the Demon Lord Azaroth. This was the great Demon Lord as well as Leader who was ready to take on the whole world.

As they repeated Azaroth's words in their minds. Blood gushed to each part of their bodies. Each one of them gripped their weapons tightly.

Not only Azaroth's forces. Even Bakaul's forces couldn't help but feel a strange sense of admiration for this Demon Lord.

Their wounds hadn't healed. Their strength hadn't returned. However, what Azaroth had done was start a fire in their hearts. A fierce fire that looked like it would burn everything in their way.

All of their collective thinking was 'Right… Why are we in despair!? Aren't we just going to be killed? Since when did we demons fear death!? To be killed in such situations… WHO DARED MOCK US? The ones who survive will be LEGENDS!'

The whole army looked as if it had a new life now. In fact, they growled at the Tarodoch's army as if saying "COME! COME AT THE SAME TIME! WE WILL BURY ALL THE ONES WHO COME!"

At this time, Azaroth also looked one last time in Bakaul's direction. He spoke in a soft voice, "We haven't been on the best of terms however, I hope that you honor my wish…"

Bakaul nodded without even asking what it was. He himself felt he was being rather pathetic before. Just who was he!? THE DEMON LORD BAKAUL!

He had become a Demon Lord after a sea of blood. Since when did he fear death!? Who cared about life or death! Had he grown so attached to living that he lost his own composure!?

He instantly understood the reason for that light-heartedness on Azaroth's face as he had said "My mind is suddenly clear." To think he had the nerve of thinking of Azaroth as pathetic.

Wasn't he also just as pathetic?

Azaroth continued speaking and even Tarodoch and his army listened. None interrupted as this Demon Lord continued speaking with a cold voice, "Kill that Seven Tailed Fox… From what I knew, her name was Naomi. Find her! Kill her! Cut her into pieces and feed her corpse to the army! This is my final wish."

Tarodoch was confused by Azaroth's final wish but Bakaul understood. He remembered that Seven Tailed Woman. He could also naturally see her appearance was that of a Seven Tailed Fox.

He shouted out loudly, "YOU HAVE MY WORD AZAROTH!" The heavens seemed to have thundered the moment he finished speaking.

Azaroth had a small smile as he heard Bakaul and looked towards Tarodoch. Tarodoch seemed like he was holding back the urge to grin.

Azaroth spoke with a cold and prideful aura, "Tarodoch… In this life, you shall never best me! FINAL STAND!"

A strong flaming aura erupted from his body. It was like a volcano that instantly covered 50 meters all around him! The heavens shook when they heard a loud screech of Three-Legged Golden Crow!
