A Demon's Journey

It had been a week since Sargan began to live in Olmer Clan's territory. The Olmer Clan has a complex hierarchy, with the strongest and most skilled members occupying the highest positions. They are highly competitive and constantly vying for power and influence within the clan.

The Olmer Clan has four heirs who are next in line to lead the clan. Each heir has their own faction within the clan, and they are constantly vying for power and influence over each other. Here are detailed descriptions of each of the four heirs:

Zara Olmer - She is known for her exceptional combat skills and is the leader of the Olmer Clan's warrior faction. She is a master of close-range combat and is feared by many of her enemies. Her striking feature is her ability to imbue her weapons with demonic energy, making them more powerful and deadly. Her weakness, however, is her lack of subtlety - she prefers to confront her enemies head-on, which can sometimes lead to her being outmaneuvered by more cunning opponents.

Rhea Olmer - She is the leader of the Olmer Clan's sorcerer faction and is known for her exceptional magical abilities. She is able to harness powerful spells and manipulate demonic energies to her will. Her striking feature is her ability to perceive the underlying magical forces that permeate reality, allowing her to anticipate and counteract enemy magic. Her weakness, however, is her physical fragility - she is vulnerable in close combat and relies heavily on her spells to protect her.

Xander Olmer - He is the leader of the Olmer Clan's espionage faction and is known for his exceptional skills in manipulation and deception. He is a master of disguise and is able to infiltrate enemy strongholds undetected. His striking feature is his ability to read people's emotions - he is able to tell when someone is lying or hiding something. His weakness, however, is his lack of combat skills - he relies on his ability to manipulate others to gain an advantage.

Dante Olmer - He is the leader of the Olmer Clan's assassin faction and is known for his exceptional stealth and lethality. He is able to move silently and strike quickly, often taking out his enemies before they even realize he is there. His striking feature is his ability to manipulate shadows - he is able to blend in with the darkness and disappear from sight. His weakness, however, is his lack of leadership skills - he prefers to work alone and can sometimes be difficult to work with.

Each of the four heirs has their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are constantly trying to outmaneuver each other to gain more power within the clan. Zara is the strongest in direct combat, Rhea is the strongest in magical abilities, Xander is the strongest in manipulation and deception, and Dante is the strongest in stealth and assassination. However, their weaknesses can also be exploited by their rivals, which means that none of them are invincible. Overall, the competition between the four heirs is fierce, and the future of the Olmer Clan rests on who emerges as the ultimate leader.

Sargan gathered these bits of information by talking or interrogating local demons. It depended more on the person whether he would break the hard way or the soft way.

Sargan is a member of the Bach Clan, and majority of his abilities originated from his Bloodline Ability known as the Evil Eyes.

However, Azaroth had forced Sargan's Evil Eyes to fuse with the Abyss Eyes, causing an unprecedented mutation.

These Evil Abyss Pupils possessed the abilities of the Evil Eyes as well as the Abyss Eyes.

At this moment, Sargan possessed the abilities of the Evil Eyes, such as Petrification, Hypnosis, Mirage Control, Adoptive Muscle Memory. Unlocking four abilities of the Evil Eyes only at the Demon Lord Rank was unprecedented in the history of Bach Clan.

Once Sargan returns to Bach Clan, he will definitely be considered the greatest genius of the clan since the founder.

However, these weren't all his eye abilities. Additionally, he possessed the abilities of the Abyss Eyes that gave him Eidetic Memory, Night Vision, and Advanced Aura Control.

Moreover, Sargan unlocked a unique ability of the Evil Abyss Pupils known as the Precognition Ability. This allowed him to foresee a few seconds in future.

Sargan's ability to anticipate his opponents' attacks proved to be immensely advantageous in battle. With his acute sense of perception, he was able to accurately predict not only which attack his opponent would use, but also the manner in which it would be executed, enabling him to prepare an effective defense or counter-attack beforehand.

This precognitive skill gave Sargan a significant advantage over his foes, allowing him to stay one step ahead in combat and emerge victorious.

Naturally, there was a significant demerit to gaining the Evil Abyss Pupils. The expenditure of Ardor was far too great.

Although the power of his abilities had greatly strengthened, Sargan still couldn't exert complete control over them, causing him to waste a lot of his Ardor each time he used these abilities.

Other than these abilities, though, Sargan also possessed the Black Lightning that possessed intense demonic laws of destruction, and he could control it at will.

These abilities certainly made him a terrifying demon.

(A/N: I rewrote these abilities here to make it easier for all of you to know Sargan's current abilities. It has been long since he last fought, so some might have slipped off your mind. Tell me in comments if I forgot any. xD)

'Returning to Bach Clan empty handed wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe I should cause chaos in Olmer Clan territory first,' Sargan thought.

'The Olmer Clan in an Emperor-Ranked Clan. It will be wonderful if I can kill a few of their Demon Kings and cause great damage to their clan before fleeing to Bach Clan.'

Killing a Demon King as a Demon Lord was an almost impossible task. Well, it would have been possible if Sargan had gained insight into a law and cultivated its domain.

But unfortunately, his talent isn't as monstrous as Noah's, so he can't brute force it. The other method would be to manipulate them and make them fight each other.

This was certainly possible as each faction of the heirs is supported by respective Demon Kings.

The Olmer Clan is comprised of thirty-one powerful Demon Kings, each with their own distinct abilities and personalities. These Demon Kings are divided in their support towards the heirs of the clan, aligning themselves with one of the four factions led by Zara, Rhea, Xander, and Dante.

Zara's faction has the support of twelve Demon Kings, who are drawn to her fierce warrior spirit and her ability to lead them into battle with unmatched ferocity. These Demon Kings are all renowned for their physical strength and combat prowess, making them invaluable assets in any conflict.

Rhea's faction, on the other hand, is composed of six Demon Kings who are drawn to her exceptional magical abilities. These Demon Kings recognize Rhea's skill as a sorceress and appreciate the strategic advantage that her mastery of magic brings to the table.

Xander's faction has the support of five Demon Kings, who value his cunning and strategic thinking. These Demon Kings recognize Xander's skill in manipulating others and appreciate his ability to outthink and outmaneuver his opponents.

Dante's faction, though the smallest, is still highly regarded by the Demon Kings who support him. The four Demon Kings aligned with Dante are drawn to his ferocious nature and the primal power he exudes. They respect his combat prowess and see him as a formidable warrior who can lead them to victory.

Finally, there are four Demon Kings who remain unaligned, preferring to stay out of the political maneuverings of the factions. These Demon Kings are highly independent and do not take orders from any of the heirs or their factions, instead choosing to operate on their own terms.

Sargan knew better than to take the surface news at face value. He was all too familiar with the cunning nature of demons and their tendency to switch allegiances at a moment's notice.

At first glance, it seemed that Zara's faction held a significant edge over the other three factions in terms of the Demon Kings supporting them. This indicated it would be impossible to strike a deal with her.

Thus, Sargan thought about the other heirs, 'I need to choose someone from these three. The number of Demon Kings supporting them is nearly the same, so that can't be the deciding factor. I need to choose them based on their personalities and abilities.'

After a long thought, Sargan made his choice. His choice was Rhea Olmer.

Well, he chose her by the process of elimination.

Sargan couldn't choose Xander as he was a leader of espionage faction and considered skilled in deception and manipulation. His bloodline allowed him to perceive lies. This would make it very challenging for Sargan to manipulate him. Additionally, his Earth Ardor would form a bad combo for his Black Lightning.

In the meantime, Sargan couldn't choose Dante's faction because it was too small. It would take too much effort to upgrade his faction to a level that he could take on his siblings.

Thus, Sargan chose Rhea Olmer as his target.

It was unfortunate that the direct heirs of Olmer Clan were resistant to Bach Clan's eye abilities, or else Sargan could have chosen the easiest option and hypnotized Zara and caused chaos in the Olmer Clan's territory.
