*Boom!*
*Shaaa!* The snake was screaming in pain because its inside was destroyed by the ice explosion from earlier. A part of its body was frozen and an ice spike came out of the holes, injuring the demon from the inside.
A normal demon would have died from an attack like this, but as one would expect from a colossal Peak Level Demon, it managed to survive the attack.
Zion was surprised that Noel decided to attack it this way, but it was extremely useful because he managed to weaken the snake from the inside.
He hurriedly grabbed Noel and moved away, trying to see what the snake would do next.
"That's a good attack. But you truly made my heart skip a beat earlier… I thought you were going to be reckless again. No, wait. I could probably consider that action to be reckless, no?"
"Ahaha, please don't say it like that." Noel made an awkward laugh and said, "Though, this should be enough for you to deal with this demon, right?"
"Indeed." Zion nodded. "You stay here. I'll finish the rest."
He dropped Noel and hurriedly returned to the snake, kicking its body and shattering the ice inside the body. The shake of the body knocked the ice, making it pierce the demon's flesh.
With Jonathan and Ben taking care of the head, Zion could fully utilize his strength and crush the demon bit by bit, killing it within four minutes.
"Hu…" Zion let out a breath of relief, giving a thumbs up to Noel. "That's a good idea you have there, but discuss it with us before doing that."
"Indeed." Jonathan landed next to Noel and patted his shoulder. "Anyway, you should stay here or help Anna and Stella."
"I'll go help them." Noel nodded with a serious expression. Although he wanted to contribute more to the fight against the Peak Level Demon, he knew his strength and chose to work on something he could handle.
And with the help of those three, it wouldn't be too long before Paul killed the Peak Level Demon, considering he also managed to injure the demon to a degree.
"I don't have to care about them. For now, I should kill as many demons as possible to complete my task and improve my body's constitution." Noel rushed toward the city wall, only to be shocked by the numerous corpses lying on the ground. It turned out Stella and Anna had cleared an entire wall by themselves.
"This is…" Noel scratched the back of his head. "They have killed around one hundred to one hundred fifty demons in the span of ten minutes? Are they serious?"
He saw Anna and Stella talking with each other in the corner, so he approached them to offer his help, only to get a headache.
"What are you doing?! Don't think about leeching off me!" Stella shouted.
"You're the one leeching off me. I killed 78 demons earlier!"
"I killed 79 demons!"
"Don't lie! I know you only killed 50 demons!"
"You were the one lying. I killed 100 demons!"
"Just because you gave a random number, don't think you're the correct one!"
"What?!"
"…" Noel was speechless when he heard their conversation. He never expected that the two would be arguing such a foolish topic. 'Who cares about how many demons they kill in this situation? Shouldn't you be working on crushing the rest of the demons instead of arguing about this?'
Noel was dumbfounded and couldn't help but cough to let them know his presence. "Ahem."
"!!!" Anna and Stella stopped and turned around. "Noel!"
"What are you two doing here?" Noel asked, but his voice got a bit cold.
"She claimed I'm the one leeching off her. I can't stand that!" Anna pointed at Stella.
"I didn't say that," Stella shouted back, trying to defend herself.
"I don't care about your reasons now. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you two to argue that stupid topic in a situation like this?" Noel let out a long sigh. "Well, whatever. You guys can go argue for whatever reason… I'm going anyway."
Noel sighed and jumped toward the demons, killing one demon after another.
He didn't know how it started, but Rose, who had been observing the entire battlefield, couldn't help but facepalm.
"I don't know what's wrong anymore…" Rose sighed, remembering how it started.
Before they began their killing spree, Stella was challenging Anna. "It seems that you have great control over your Spiritual Energy. With that kind of control, I think you have been hiding something even greater… Why don't we have a match here?"
"You want me to use all my power? Do you think I'll tell you my secret? Even if we are from one squad, don't you think your action is a bit obvious? You've been trying to separate me from Noel this whole time." Anna snorted.
"I'm not trying to hide anything. I've told you everything with my action. In fact, why does a murderer of his family have to be so clingy to him? Are you torturing him or something?" Stella narrowed her eyes. She had been suspicious of Anna's intention this whole time, considering this pair wasn't supposed to exist.
On the other hand, Anna couldn't tell her anything either, considering no one should know about the reason why she became the culprit. This was a secret that only she and Noel could know for their plan to exist, considering Noel wanted her to kill him when the opportunity arrived.
So, Anna could only reply, "Who do you think you are to enter the problem between Noel and me?"
"I'm simply stating the fact that he is here, the Demon Relief Squad will be protecting him." Stella snorted.
"I'm also from the same squad, so I can file a complaint to Paul for this mistreatment? Besides, have you seen me mistreating him?"
"…" Stella narrowed her eyes. She had only heard about the rumor, so she couldn't confirm the truth of what had happened between them. She knew she would lose in an argument this way, so she simply escaped from it by saying, "Whatever. If that's the case, you can continue being weak and getting carried by us."
"What did you say? I don't mind getting help from others, but you? No, thanks. I'll show you that I can kill more demons than you… What will you say if this weak girl defeats you…" Anna smirked and leaped forward, making the first move.
