Chapter 143 Leaving The City

Noel gradually opened his eyes with a complicated expression. He scratched the back of his head and muttered, "I have more questions now, but it's a relief to know that I can still control my own life. I don't have to give up my revenge and ambition. Besides, I can find more and more information about the spirits in the future.

"No one knows this information and the world still works like usual, so there's no rush in finding more information about spirits. In that case, I should focus on getting stronger and my revenge first."

Ardagan might be related to the Moon Goddess, but their lives, by no means, bound to each other. Hence, Noel didn't have to revolve his life around the Saintess.

"Alright. That's decided." Noel slapped his cheeks to shake the thought off and raise his spirit.

After sorting his thoughts, Noel came out of the room, finding the water had been distributed to the people.

According to them, there were 4367 people still alive in the city, so he had taken out 44 water gallons.

It might take him 88 Honor Points which he didn't have, but because he continuously helped them and gained more Honor Points, he could supply enough water to them. And thanked to their number, Noel also gained an additional 44 points.

With this, he had a total of 82 Honor Points, the highest he had so far. He could exchange so much Skill Points with this, but he didn't forget that half of the points he got was from his effort for the last two months.

"To think I did all that for only 38 points… and it took me two months to get all that. As expected, having a city to help is the best way to gain Honor Points." Noel sighed, lamenting the fact that his two months of effort couldn't be compared to save a single city.

Still, he had enough Skill Points to play with. Although he wanted to rush and improve all the skills he had, he didn't know what kind of monster this Advanced Level Demon was. Hence, he chose to not level them up first and wait until he confirmed the enemy.

With this, he had an assurance if something went wrong.

As soon as he left the house, he found Anna still distributing the remaining water. But the sun was already above the sky, if they didn't leave soon, they didn't know if they could find the demon today.

"Anna."

"Mhm?" Anna turned around and found Noel walking toward her. "Have you finished?"

"Yes." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"I see. Should we go now then? Our action will surely alert the demons, so we have to kill those who chase after us."

"Yes. Anyway, the enemy this time is an Advanced Level Demon. As much as I want to split up to expand the search range, we have to be together all the time to even stand a chance against this demon."

"Agreed. Though, do you have a place in mind?"

"The west side of the city. According to them, the demons had been attacking the city in a clockwise direction. Yesterday came from the south, the day before came from the east and so on."

"So, you're assuming that the Advanced Level Demon are preparing some demons to supply the attack from the west." Anna thought for a moment and agreed with Noel's plan. "Good enough. Since we're already here, there's no need for a horse, right?"

"Yes. Let's go."

The two had come to an agreement as they immediately told the Saintess they would be leaving to scout the area and headed to the west gate.

On top of the west gate, Noel and Anna stood next to each other.

"Approximately fifteen meters to the ground. Can your body handle that?" Anna asked while looking down.

"There is a cushion."

"Cushion?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.

Noel, on the other hand, remained silent and walked one of the soldiers.

"Wait, Noel! Watch out!" Anna panicked because there was a demon coming up to the wall in his direction.

As she expected, the demon reached the top of the city wall and planned to defeat the soldiers around it.

However, Noel shouted while running toward it. "Move away!"

The soldiers were startled by the shout and turned around, finding Noel coming at them. "A kid?"

Noel ignored their reaction and strengthened the muscle as well as covering his body with Spiritual Energy. After that, he kicked the demon right in the belly and blew him away from the castle gate.

"What?" The soldiers were shocked because they never expected a kid could be this strong.

But what shocked them the most was the thing he did next.

Without hesitation, Noel jumped at the demon, resulting in both of them flying away from the castle.

The people thought Noel wanted to die, but the moment the two landed on the ground, Noel was actually standing on top of the demon unscathed.

He even had the time to cut the demon after using the demon as a cushion for his fall.

"!!!" Anna was stunned because Noel truly had a crazy idea on leaving the city. "He used the demon as the cushion and killed it right after? He's crazy, but… why does it look so fun?"

She was planning to just jump down as far as possible with the help of her Spirit, but she couldn't help but kick a demon and followed Noel's action.

"Yahoo!" Anna smiled brightly, feeling excited as if she was using the demon to surf in the air.

*Bam!*

As soon as she landed on the ground, she killed the demon with two slashes. She still laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's truly fun! Maybe we can do it again tomorrow."

"Shut up and run!" Noel's eyebrows twitched as he already started running. Anna almost forgot there were many demons behind them.

Her face became pale as she immediately picked up the pace. There were around fifty demons that turned around to chase after them.

"Still, isn't that fun?" Anna smirked while running beside Noel.

"It's not fun." Noel gritted his teeth.

"Why do you have to be so tense?" Anna sighed.

Noel only pointed to their front while making a grim expression.

"Huh?" Anna turned around and tried to see what was going on. She was shocked to find some movements from the forest where the Advanced Level Demon resided. And it was clear who made all those movements.

In just a few seconds, more than fifty demons suddenly came out of the forest together, pinching them from two directions.

"Ballom…" Anna muttered.

"What that word means?" Noel was confused of this weird word, thinking it was a foreign word.

"I learned it from the Saintess. It's to pray to the Moon Goddess for her protection." Anna smiled.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"We're screwed."

"…" Noel's eyebrows twitched, annoyed. "You still have the mood to joke around?!"
