Chapter 254 Best Pair

"Haa!" The man roared and punched Noel again.

This time, Noel looked at him closely and felt disgusted by what he did and his influence. The moment Noel struck this fist, the disgust in his heart covered the sword, turning the sword like a bat.

For Noel, a disgust wasn't enough to kill someone. The farthest thing he would do was just to beat them, so this sword wasn't sharp but blunt.

This blunt sword carried a weight like that of a bat, fighting power with power.

The fist felt the heaviness of this strike, but the man somehow still punched through it, hitting Noel on the stomach.

"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth and took a few steps back. Even with his armor, he still felt that punch.

'As expected, it's not enough. The disgust is too shallow and because I haven't perfected this sword style, I can't combine it with my Spirit Ability like Mega Slash. Or else, I wouldn't have lost in power.' Noel gritted his teeth and raised his sword again.

The man was confused because he felt that Noel didn't have the intention to cut him down. Instead, he was just buying some time.

"You dare not to take me seriously? A mere Apprentice Knight dares to act so proudly?" The man glared at Noel with killing intent.

"Seriously? I think you have an anger issue." Noel looked at him with a wry smile, mocking him by showing that he worried about him.

"You…" The guy gritted his teeth and started attacking Noel again.

Noel took a few steps back, analyzing the opponent's strength. 'He doesn't seem to have many abilities despite being a Spirit Wielder. But it's clear that his strength is extraordinary. I don't think my sword can easily pierce through his defense. I guess this is what a simple but solid means.'

Noel took a deep breath and began using his Imaginary Battlefield again. His eyes were soon filled with interest in the black metal that covered his enemy's body since the metal had a similar color as Ardagan.

By using this interest, Noel struck this fist multiple times. But unlike his previous slashes, these slashes actually didn't have anything special on them.

Even the man was confused because he didn't feel any different. This was like a normal knight's swing.

Yet, Noel's calm expression irritated him because it felt like Noel was trying to see through him.

"You're disgusting." The man clicked his tongue. He and Noel were a complete opposite of each other. His strength came from the solid metal that he had strengthened for a long time. It was simple but unbeatable. Meanwhile, Noel's strength came from all the tricks he could use to see which one would work.

Since the man stopped here, Noel hurriedly pursued him and kept striking him with his Interest Sword, trying to find a flaw in that body while using this enemy to practice his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style.

*Clink!*

*Clink!*

The clicking sound of metal disturbed the mansion. Even the lord of the mansion had assembled his knights as if he was prepared to capture Noel.

Before long, Noel found knights coming from all directions as if trying to capture him.

"Hahaha, it's useless. You won't be able to escape now." The guy laughed while jumping forth to knock Noel to the knights so that he could get captured.

Noel raised his sword again to block it. But at the same time, a woman suddenly slipped past the knights and made her way to Noel with a dagger in her hand.

"Haha, die!" The middle-aged man suddenly stopped while shouting with a smile, looking at Noel and the person behind him.

Noel noticed the presence behind him and tried to stop whoever's coming from behind.

However, there was also another presence that fell like a falling star.

"!!!" The woman behind Noel raised her head and saw a blond woman coming from the air with her lightning covered sword.

She tried to raise her knife to stop this sword, but it was useless. Her strength and momentum were too much for her to handle. Even the woman could only direct it a bit. Instead of slicing her into two, she directed the blade so that it only cut her right arm.

"Arghhhh!" The woman screamed while the one that attacked earlier said, "It seems that you need my help."

"Even without you, I can stop her, Anna."

Yes, the one that helped Noel was Anna. Noel also didn't lie because that was the particular reason why he covered the basement in ice.

There was no way the middle-aged man would know about their plot if there was no one that watched over them.

When Noel came out of his cell, he didn't find anyone there, so he believed that the one that watched over them acted like a prisoner themselves so that she could eavesdrop their conversation. This was the reason why they put only one person in each cell.

It also allowed Kirika and Lokhar to escape safely.

p However, this kind of thought was not relevant for Anna. After all, she could hear Noel's voice coming closer to her. After fighting together with Noel for a long time, she realized that Noel was actually spinning his body.

She hurriedly ducked her body in that instant.

As she predicted, Noel was spinning his body and cut the woman's neck by using Anna as his cover.

With the injury she had just suffered, the woman didn't expect Noel's attack. She only stood there in shock before she realized her head was already sent flying.

Due to the sudden interruption, even the middle-aged man was stunned and fell silent. Since Noel was turning his back against him, he tried to use this chance to kill him so that the situation wouldn't get any worse.

Anna noticed his movement and spun her body as well, looping around Noel and struck the guy's metal fist from below, blocking it for Noel.

Still, she didn't have all the momentum like the guy, so her body was pushed back a bit. This was the time her back touched Noel's back that acted like a wall, supporting her body to fully stop this fist.

Both of them smiled. Even without saying anything, they knew what they were supposed to do. This was the best pair of this generation of the Demon Banner Army.
