Chapter 981 All Out War (5)

?981 All Out War (5)

Noel and Milfa moved toward Duke Britonʼs flood, planning to take advantage of that power to stop all the demons.

Obviously, other demons were coming straight to them according to Qielʼs instructions, not letting them get away.

Milfa waved her hands, controlling the light to suppress the surrounding demons.

Still, the two Superior Demons were chasing them at high speed. The number of demons around them was much higher than the ones she handled in her original position, so she ended up getting occupied with the normal demons. Even if Dimitri or Anna used their True Spirit Body, their conditions would be similar to hers, unable to kill the Superior Demons.

However, Noel was currently with Milfa. As soon as he saw that Milfa couldnʼt handle the rest of the demons, Noel also began to make his move.

A pair of black wings appeared on his back as he soared into the sky. With this, they would have a hard time catching him.

However, Noel also knew that the Superior Demons wouldnʼt give up on this.

One of the superior demons stomped on the ground, cracking it. It actually grabbed the ground through the crack and lifted it up.

”!!!” Noel was quite surprised that a huge chunk of land actually flew into the air. He hurriedly shot out his Undying Phoenix, exploding the big lump of soil. Once shattered, the remnant flame reduced everything to nothing.

While he was able to stop this attack, the other Superior Demon jumped into the sky, releasing a beam of light from its mouth.

He didnʼt have enough time to release his ability, so the only thing he could do was utilize the Rune Body. He activated the Spiritual Barrier Rune that had been embedded in his body, creating a translucent sphere that blocked the beam.

*Boom!*

At the same time, Noel used the Enhance Forward Rune to counter the explosion force so that he didnʼt get blown away in the middle.

After blocking that attack, Milfa released a bit of her light to suppress the Superior Demons. ”Go!”

Noel immediately took this chance to fly at full speed directly toward the water.

There were a few demons trying to block his path, but all of a sudden, numerous flying fish emerged from the water, slapping all of them away.

”!!!” Noel smiled, knowing that Duke Briton had him covered.

However, before he could reach the water, Qielʼs arrow flew toward him, carrying an extraordinary amount of power.

Even his Spiritual Barrier Rune would have a hard time blocking this. Fortunately, Faustʼs arrow struck her arrow from the side, causing their massive energy to clash with each other.

Sadly, this was when Qiel showed her superiority as the number one archer in the world. Her arrow contained much stronger energy than Faustʼs arrow, causing the latter to actually explode in mid-air.

But even though Faust failed to destroy Qielʼs arrow, it was still strong enough to alter the course of the arrow, causing the arrow that carried a lot of her energy to only hit Noelʼs left wing.

The arrow completely obliterated the left wing, destabilizing Noelʼs flight ability. Still, Noel finally reached the water area as he landed on top of the water, using his ice ability to freeze the water as his platform to stand on.

After that, numerous fish came out of the water to block the demons, giving Noel precious time to repair his wings before flying into the sky. Now that he was near the barrier, he simply had to fly above it before curving toward the wall.

With this, he safely retreated to the top of the wall.

”Master.” Grandell hurriedly came to him to check on his condition. Luckily, Noel didnʼt sustain any injuries.

”Take care of her.” Noel handed Felicia to him. Her name would soon spread in all four kingdoms, not only as the first rune magician but also as someone with the prowess that was capable of killing a Superior Demon while being a Spirit Master.

It was because of her that the Ardagan Family would be famous and even more terrifying.

”Understood.” Grandell nodded with a serious expression. He never thought that there would be a day for a Spirit Master to be able to defeat a Superior Demon.

On the one hand, this might be the reason why Felicia managed to become Noelʼs direct vassal. On the other hand, Grandell knew that he might be able to do this in the future as long as he continued serving Noel.

Noel would definitely be able to make a great change in the kingdom. As long as they could win this battle, everything would definitely change.

Milfa also managed to return to the wall safely with her extraordinary light prowess.

”Are you alright?” Noel asked.

”Yeah. Iʼm not injured for the time being, but I have used a bit more spiritual energy than I originally expected. Still, you should know what it means to have the duke activate his True Spirit Body, right?” Milfa squinted his eyes.

Noelʼs expression turned serious. He obviously understood the effect.

As expected of Duke Briton, his field of vision was so wide that he actually managed to understand the whole battlefield situation from his position.

Duke Briton should have realized that if this continued, they would need too much time to actually kill all the demons.

Noel actually asked Felicia to come forward and moved the Gem Lord to stop the flying demon due to this particular reason. He knew that the battlefield might look extreme, but the progress hadnʼt been much done. Even on the north wall, he calculated that there were only about two thousand demons who had died during the past two hours.

Knowing Qiel, she must want him to release all kinds of trump cards he had hidden the whole time so that once everything was unleashed, they would launch an all-out attack. It would be even worse because this was the first fight for most soldiers.

They would wear down their stamina much faster than experienced soldiers no matter how much he raised their morale.

Noel shouted, ”Did you see it, everyone? Even a Superior Demon can be defeated by the power of rune. Even if you are only a Spirit Master, not a Spirit Grandmaster, you can still defeat it. Thatʼs why we should trust the rune weapons we have and kill them all.”

”Oohhh!” The soldiers cheered. They obviously heard Feliciaʼs declaration, so they had witnessed the fight themselves.

They knew that defeating all these demons was not impossible.

ʼItʼs amazing that the duke can see everything from that position, but more importantly, the duke must have known what would happen after using his True Spirit Body. From the way I see it, he will be able to kill three Superior Demons on his side. That leaves Milfa to handle the rest by herself.

ʼWhat kind of effect will the duke bring with his True Spirit Body? How many demons have he killed? And what kind of effect will the flood bring?ʼ

Noel thought it hard, wondering why the duke chose to do it. On the one hand, it looked like the duke wanted to wipe out the entire side with his power. On the other hand, it felt like the duke had one more hidden intention.

ʼThe water… Milfa… Duke Briton… and one Superior Demon…ʼ Noel looked down for a moment before widening his eyes in shock. ”So, thatʼs how it is.”

”Is there something wrong, my lord?” Grandell asked.

”Grandell. Iʼm going to tell you two things.” Noel raised two fingers. His voice was low enough that no one could hear him. ”First of all, tell Aerton that he will have to clear the demons down below as soon as possible and go up here. Tell him that he will take over your job here after the signal.”

”He will be here?” Grandell was stunned, not because Aerton was going up, but because his job would be left to Aerton. He thought that he had lost Noelʼs trust.

However, Noel continued with the second matter. ”Secondly, I want you to follow me later. There will be a more important role for us later.”

Grandellʼs expression brightened. ”Y-yes!”

It turned out that he was going to an even more important place. He had misunderstood the Lordʼs intention.

Without hesitation, he hurriedly went to the bottom of the wall while carrying Felicia.

”Have you figured out something?” Milfa asked.

”Sort of. Once the True Spirit Body wears off, I hope that you can tell him this: ʼI understand your action and intention. There is an even more important role waiting for you and I hope that you wonʼt reject it.ʼ Thatʼs all.”

”More important role?” Milfa was quite surprised, but it seemed that Noel wasnʼt joking. She couldnʼt help but wonder what role Duke Briton was going to play after this.

Since she had some time, she took out the pill Khalid gave her earlier, trying to restore as much spiritual energy as possible before Duke Briton exhausted himself.

On the other hand, Noel shouted, ”Anna, Dimitri, Andreas, Howard. Return to the wall right now!”

”!!!” All four grandmasters that were fighting the Superior Demons on the battlefield widened their eyes. This was not the time to pull back. There was only one plan where they needed to go back and it was to kill the Supreme Devil Organization members.

Noel actually sped up his plan.

”Youʼre not going anywhere!” Laufey stepped forward, trying to stop Dimitri from leaving. However, there was soon an undying phoenix flying toward him, forcing Laufey to jump away.

Dimitri used this chance to disappear into the shadows, leaving the battlefield. Anna was also in a similar situation. With the support of Noel, she disengaged and returned to the wall.

Andreasʼs opponent almost died, so he didnʼt have much trouble going back while the giant bull that Howard fought was suppressed by the weapons from the wall.

Now that everyone had returned, Noel smiled. ʼItʼs time for the execution.ʼ
