Chapter 332 Sync

Unfortunately, no demons attacked that day, so the group just hid inside the forest not far from the fort. They even looked around to make sure no demons would come toward their place.

However, that peace soon came to an end when they heard a series of roars coming from the opposite side of the fort.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

"Hmm?" Paul and Rose narrowed their eyes, standing up and looking into the distance. "Rose…"

"Yeah. This is weird. We have situated ourselves in the south of this fort. Meanwhile, the demon territory spans from the west to the north. I can somehow understand they're going from the north, but this one is slightly leaning to the northeast…" Rose nodded with a serious expression. "There should be another fort in that direction, no?"

"Yes, but we don't know if the demon is coming from that fort or just going through the gap." Paul nodded. "For now, we shall handle all these demons and go to the neighboring fort to wait for our next order."

"Got it." Rose nodded.

"Alright. It's time for you two, Noel, Jonathan."

Noel and Jonathan exchanged nods with each other. "The timing is important."

"Zion and Ben will help me distract the Peak Level Demons. Stella and Anna will provide firepower for Noel and Jonathan while Rose will maintain our communication and guide us as usual. As soon as you clear up the area, we'll take down the Peak Level Demons. The details are as discussed. Understood?"

"Yes." The group answered in unison as they began preparing their equipment for the plan.

Paul and the others hurriedly moved toward their positions before Jonathan and Noel started.

Before going, Noel saw the demons gradually looping around the fort to surround it.

"I go from there, you go from there. We'll meet on the opposite side." Noel said while pointing at their spots.

"Sounds good. Make sure you don't stumble and get overwhelmed by the demons."

"Don't worry. The people here are helping us as well, so we should be able to do it." Noel nodded.

"Then, let's go." Jonathan raised his fist.

Noel smiled and bumped his fist. "Let's go."

With that signal, the two of them came out of the woods and headed straight to the fort.

Jonathan was carrying a huge dead tree with his Telekinesis while Noel summoned three big swords above him.

"Die!" Both of them shouted, signaling each other to begin.

The tree fell on top of many demons while the Sword Fall killed five demons just by flying toward them.

Many demons realized the attacks and turned around, finding Noel and Jonathan approaching.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

A few demons alarmed the others, asking them to turn around to stop these two.

However, Noel and Jonathan's paths began to curve, stopping not far from the demons and running around the wall.

The demons that chased after them gradually increased.

Noel furrowed his eyebrows because he saw a few Mid Level Demons and one Advanced Level Demon not far from him and they seemed to be planning to chase after him as well.

Knowing the situation wouldn't be good, Rose gave him the illusion of her voice ringing in his ears.

"Go straight. Stella is ready for you!"

Noel didn't respond to it, but his hesitation disappeared. This was how Rose communicated with the others on a battlefield and it was truly helpful.

He charged straight toward those demons while waving his sword.

Bouncing Spiritual Slash.

The sword strike flew forth and began to bounce from one spot to another, confusing the demons. This strike hit multiple Mid Level Demons in front of him as Noel used his speed to avoid the rest of the Mid Level Demons.

But as expected of an Advanced Level Demon, this demon managed to follow his speed and pounce on him.

Noel wasn't afraid because there was a reliable teammate that would cover him. When the demon was about to reach him, a crescent-shaped concentrated wind flew toward the demon and hit it, cracking a few bones and launching the demon to the wall.

However, the wind soon dispersed since Stella didn't want to destroy the wall.

A smile appeared on Noel's face as he began picking up speed while finding Stella and Rose in the corner of his eyes. Rose was going to position herself at a place where she could see both sides, allowing Jonathan and Noel to arrive at the exact same time.

Meanwhile, Stella easily followed his speed even though she had to cross a longer road because she was a bit far away from the fort to not be found by the demons.

As soon as he reached the corner, Noel turned around and headed to another corner while waving his sword, attacking the demons from behind. This was a good opportunity, so he wanted to kill as many demons as possible for his repeated missions.

Noel smirked and saw Rose at the other corner, saying, "Noel, slow down a bit to match Jonathan's pace."

Noel didn't reply again, but he decreased his speed for a bit until the next instruction. While waiting for Jonathan, Noel used his Sword Fall a few times to kill Mid Level Demons near the wall.

There were many demons scratching the wall and even used their Spiritual Energy to destroy it but to no avail. It seemed the runes had enhanced the sturdiness, making it impossible to be destroyed by Advanced Level Demons or lower.

So, Noel used their focus to catch them off guard and kill them.

"Match your speed right now. I'll count to three and you've to reach the corner at the same time."

Noel and Jonathan nodded their heads as they maintained their speed.

? "One…"

Noel and Jonathan's hearts skipped a beat, wondering how many demons they managed to attract in a single run. It didn't look much compared to the whole army of demons, but both of them managed to bait more than one hundred demons each. So, the crash would be enormous this time.

"Two…"

Noel and Jonathan braced themselves as they were right around the corner. They could even feel each other's presence as they were ready to jump.

"Three!"

The moment Rose's voice raised in their ears, they jumped as high as possible as they reached the corner, seeing each other.

Noel and Jonathan smiled at each other as if telling each other. "Perfect."
