The desire buried deep in the Warlord's heart was not only to defeat aging. He was also obsessed with it. He was dissatisfied with the Hero.
It was not that he was dissatisfied with the Hero for not coming sooner. He was dissatisfied with the idea of "the Hero saving the world."
He was Volquez Rozgardo, nicknamed the Warlord. He was the strongest warrior in the world. He had held this title for more than ten years. His prestige was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Gaiabbrand.
But subconsciously, people did not think that the Warlord could defeat the Demon King. They were still looking forward to the Hero's arrival. They believed that only the Hero could save the world.
This made the Warlord very unhappy.
It was not jealousy or anything like that. It was dissatisfaction.
He was dissatisfied with the fact that he could not compare to the Hero. He was dissatisfied with the fame he had built up over the years. He was dissatisfied with the fact that he was inferior to the Hero who had never appeared.
So, not only did he want to regain his youth, but he also wanted to defeat the Hero!
This would prove that he, Volquez, was not inferior to the Hero!
But before that, he had to take care of the goddess.
In the contract with the Demon King, the first requirement was to kill the goddess. Once the goddess was killed, the Hero would have no way out. He would not be able to return to the Heavenly Realm. Then, the Hero would be able to do whatever he wanted to her.
Without hesitation, the Warlord held the black and red broadsword. He stomped on the ground and charged toward Aliya like a bolt of lightning.
Aliya's eyes narrowed. She was already on guard. She immediately raised her hands.
Although she was not a battle-type goddess, she was still an upper goddess. She still had ways to protect herself. As long as she could withstand the first attack, then open the Gate to Alternate World and return to the Heavenly Realm, it would be her victory.
"Whoosh!"
But while the Warlord was charging, he was suddenly shocked. He stomped on the ground and with a screeching sound, the angle of his charge was suddenly changed.
"Clang!"
The moment he changed direction, a blood-red sword appeared in his path. It was like a chasm between him and Aliya.
If the Warlord had not dodged and crashed into the sword, he would have become a pile of corpses.
"Ryuga?"
Aliya was taken aback at first, then she looked in the direction she came from in surprise.
In that direction, Ryuga was holding the He blade, standing there with an indifferent expression. Her expression could even be said to be incomparably leisurely.
"A hero? How did you sense it? "
The Battle Thearch retreated to the side and temporarily gave up on the goddess who was not very strong. He looked at Ryuga warily, who had appeared at the entrance of the empty space.
"You should learn how to hide your killing intent."
Ryuga held the He Blade and calmly walked towards the Battle Emperor.
"From the moment we met, you couldn't hide your killing intent. When you called Aliya away, I naturally followed you … Soul Chain Destruction, huh? I didn't expect you to have such a weapon. Not bad."
Unable to hide his killing intent?
The Battle Thearch was stunned when he heard this.
How could this be?
He was a Battle God who had spent his entire life in battle. Concealing his killing intent was a piece of cake for him … Could it be that this brave warrior had discovered the killing intent he had hidden in his heart?
Other than that, there was no other possibility.
To be able to sense it to such an extent, how did this brave warrior survive in the past? Could it be that she was a professional assassin? No, even a professional assassin would not be able to sense it to such an extent.
This guy was a monster with killing intent.
"Interesting."
Seeing this, the Battle Thearch's battle intent surged and a battle-hungry smile appeared on his face.
"The Demon King also told me that heroes are usually summoned from a peaceful world and have no experience in battle. He told me to take advantage of this fact. It looks like he was wrong about this after all.
"But it doesn't matter! Since you're here, you're just bringing the battle forward. Let's say, fighting with a real warrior is what excites me! Right here, right now, I'm going to kill all of you! "
He raised the Demon Sword in his hand again and slashed down at Ryuga's head.
He was very powerful and his attack power was off the charts. Just the movement of his sword was enough to create a huge gust of wind. The ground, the pool, and the fake mountain were all blown away.
However, facing such an attack, Ryuga still calmly swung her blade.
"Hmm?!"
The Battle Thearch's expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly retreated.
Immediately after, a blood-red blade appeared where he was originally standing and sliced through the armor in front of his chest. If he had not dodged in time, he would have been cut in half.
This was the sword technique known as Dimensional Light Splitting Slash. It could make the blade appear anywhere within reach of the naked eye.
"Dodging the first slash is a coincidence. The second slash is inevitable."
Ryuga looked at the Battle Thearch's serious expression and understood.
"Looks like you've been fighting for most of your life. You have extraordinary battle instincts."
When the two of them were fighting, Aliya retreated to Ryuga's side and left the battlefield to the two of them.
When she retreated to Ryuga's side, she realized that there was another figure who had followed Ryuga into the backyard.
"Father … You're lying. Why would you attack the Goddess and the hero?"
Rozali was wearing a white dress but her face was even paler. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. It was as if her faith had collapsed and she was in despair.
"Rozali?"
The Battle Thearch took a deep breath.
They had only exchanged blows for a moment but Ryuga had already given him a huge sense of pressure. His rotting body could not take it anymore. However, the battle intent in his heart made him even more excited.
"I'm a little busy now. I'll explain to you later."
The Battle Thearch panted as he took out a pitch-black Spiritual Pearl from his chest and swallowed it.
Immediately after, a thick, pitch-black aura seeped out of his body and spread in all directions.
"This is the Demon God's Spiritual Orb that the Demon King gave me along with the Godslayer sword. This spiritual orb can turn humans into demons. The side effect is that they become younger …"
As he said this, his body underwent a huge change.
His originally white hair turned dark blue, just like Rozali's. The wrinkles on his face disappeared and the shriveled muscles on his arms and body began to bulge.
The Battle Thearch, who looked eighty years old, quickly turned into a handsome young man in his twenties after consuming the Demon God's Spiritual Orb.
"Huu … Huhahahaha!"
He felt the enormous power surging through his body. His hoarse voice became stronger as he laughed loudly.
"So powerful. The power is surging out. This is comparable to when I was at my peak … No, it's even more terrifying than when I was at my peak!"
A majestic and restless demonic aura was released from his body.
At the same time, his ability value also underwent a huge change.
