Azh’Rezak Clan

## **Incursion**

The House of Azh’Rezak had celebrated for 10 days and sacrificed 10 000 slaves for luck when they had found out that they had actually managed to get a slot. **[Chapter 22]**

Clan Azh’Rezak was far weaker than the average when it came to the power of the invading groups. Usually the opportunity would have been snatched away by a more powerful force, normally some arch-daemon would have nudged the heavens and snatched it from them, but luckily the Great War was reaching a white-hot intensity. All the real powerhouses had their hands full, and couldn’t focus on this matter even though the potential gain was great. **[Chapter 151] [Chapter 22]**

**Ogras** exhorted his ancestor to let him lead this invasion, this invasion was his opportunity if he wanted to stay alive. If he could find enough goodies for either himself or the clan he’d be safe until he was strong enough to protect himself. **[Chapter 34]** However, as Ogras was untested when appointed general, the elders came to an accord with his ancestor. In certain events that were deemed to be critical to clan Azh’Rezak’s future developments, the military command was temporarily transferred to **Rydel**, one of the heirs to the main branch and one of the most heavily nurtured youths in the clan. The emergence of a D-class treasure or higher was one of the vents that would result in a transfer of leadership to Rydel. **[Chapter 59]**Ogras had a strong suspicion that Rydel had been sent through the portal to both keep an eye on things, and if possible, neutralize him. That would eliminate any threat of a branch family becoming too strong in the clan. **[Chapter 34]**

Clan Azh’Rezak had spent less than 50 D-grade Nexus Coins altogether on their Incursion (**Chapter 838**).

## **Faction**

The Azh’Rezak Clan of the **Torrid Demonkin** has almost a million family members and just a handful of D-rank ancestors after thousands of years of accumulation, it is considered a small and newly established group. **[Chapter 111] [Chapter 292]** The few D-Grade powerhouses Clan Azh'Rezak possess are right at the start of the grade. They have barely managed to pass the hurdle of forming their core, but they wouldn't go any further on the path of cultivation. Only the clan leader and the supreme elder are slightly better. **[Chapter 293]**

Clan Azh’Rezak is a middling family in a D-grade world **[Book 1, Page 468].** It is the lowest rung of what could be called a noble clan. They control a certain area, but they are part of a larger kingdom, that kingdom ultimately reports to the planet’s leader, though they are largely independent. **[Chapter 329]** The planet is D-Grade **[Chapter 73]**, and it's just a backwater member of the **Azh’Kir’Khat Horde**, the Demon society of **Zecia sector**. **[Chapter 329]** There is always struggle, the moment that Azh’Rezak as a family relaxed they would be eaten by one of many forces in the surroundings who lusted for their land or their inheritance. **[Chapter 390]**

It's known that the skies are crimson on their home planet **[Chapter 138]** and the environment of the clan is monochromatically red. **[Chapter 22]** This planet sounds like a real nightmare going by all these monsters Ogras has described. **[Chapter 580]**

The clan spent very little resources on non-combat ventures, because they mainly gained resources through hunting beasts and working as mercenaries. **[Chapter 163]** Their progenitor was a mercenary who made his name in a war against the **Tal-Eladar**. In fact, most of their elders and veterans fought in wars against the Tal-Eladar. **[Chapter 306]** But even with over 20,000 years as mercenaries they had almost nothing to show for it. [**Chapter 1,073]**

The main reasons the family keep a bunch of Barghest and Gwyllgi is because the Tal-Eladar are extremely adept at beast mastery. Their beasts are stronger and better controlled, so Azh’Rezak can only try to lessen the impact with waves of dumb barghest. Better their fodder dies to the war beasts than their warriors. **[Chapter 307]** But Azh’Rezak don’t possess any heritage of the Beastmaster type and hire experts from an Association to take care of their beast hordes. **[Chapter 123]**

The clan bought guides that explain the progression to E-grade Uncommon for over a dozen classes, but only had two clear paths to reach D-rank. Buying a full progression path from F to D with all required attributes, Dao-requirements, and hidden requirements is costly enough to set back a D-ranked force quite a bit. So most only have one or two, and they are the foundation of the clan. Clan Azh’Rezak has the progression path of **Lightning Warrior**, which evolves into **Tempest Warrior**, and finally **Stormblade**. It’s a mix of lightning magic and bladed weapons. Rydel followed this path for example, and only the main branch of the clan is allowed to progress this class path. **[Chapter 74]**

*The supreme elders and clan leader usually turned a blind eye to killings within the clan as they believed it created stronger and more ruthless members among those who survived. But if someone showed enough promise they would protect their seedlings from the shadows, as they were potential future powerhouses that could bring their clan to greater heights.* **[Chapter 34]**

Rydel and Ogras were the only ones who had gone to the **Tower of Eternity** in the family among those who entered the Incursion, and no one had gone for well over a decade before them. **[Chapter 384]**

The ancestors created for the clan the **Astral Pond**, a trial ground that could award a Limited Title.

The clans defining treasure is the **[Spear of Ar’Amak]** **[Chapter 816]**

"... Your eyes have been looking a bit like the fifth elder back home. He had a deviation and suddenly became obsessed with a mountain on our planet, a mountain on a competing clan's lands. He believed his Dao hid inside. One day, he snuck out and murdered a whole village on the mountain slopes, convinced they hid the key to his breakthrough. "Of course, there was no key, and his antics created a huge incident until he was eventually killed." **[Chapter 1,013]**

### **The branch of Ogras**

*His seven elder brothers had been heroic warriors, always charging into the fray, leading any charge in skirmishes. And now they were all food for the maggots. Some were killed by their enemies, and some died from machinations of their own clan members.*

*The path to power was ruthless, and even among kin benefits preceded loyalty. There had been a large amount of dissatisfaction towards his branch of the clan for a long time. His great grandfather was originally a normal soldier who managed to rise to his great power through a few lucky encounters.*

*His prowess had allowed his progeny to enjoy great benefits and resources, even matching that of the main branch’s youth. Ogras suspected that was why his siblings kept dropping dead one after another. He had voiced such concerns to his ancestor, but being a warrior for the clan his whole life his thought patterns had become rigid. He had bled and fought for the clan for over a thousand years, and couldn’t imagine that they would backstab him and his kin like that.*

*That’s why only the two of them were left, not counting his great aunt who disappeared to become a wandering warrior two hundred years ago. That was also why he kept this ridiculous persona going, pretending to have become a pampered wastrel not interested in cultivation. The fewer of his clan members believed that he was a threat, the lower was the chance that he’d wake up with his throat slit.* **[Chapter 34**]

### Strength

* Ogras snickered upon thinking of the elders back home. The main branch had celebrated for six straight months when the Fourth Elder broke through, inviting the whole capital to a feast. Such a commotion over a lump of garbage that left the old goat stuck at level 153. What would those scheming halfwits think if they saw him now? With a swing of his spear, the whole council would be punched full of holes. **Ch 1,115**
* the Atwood Empire has far surpassed the Azh'Rezak Clan already, but it wasn't like the clan was solely made up of wastrels. Even then, the clan only had six Hegemons, most barely worth the name. **Ch 1,117**
