Chapter 374 Second Superior Demon

The Water Lord looked upon the city that hadn't been harmed in any way.

"How… I should have…" The head butler gritted his teeth. He tried to struggle but to no avail.

"The poison? Haha, Noel has purified it for me." The Water Lord smirked. "I already know there is a mole in my castle, but I never thought it would be you."

The head butler glared at the Water Lord. It seemed that he had accepted his death as he released the remaining Spiritual Energy to cause an explosion.

However, the Water Lord had pierced through his chest with his hand, killing the head butler.

The head butler smirked, using his last bit of energy to say, "Glory to the Supreme Devil…"

The Water Lord tossed his body to the side while looking at the north gate. "What do you want to do after this, Demon Relief Squad's Vice Captain?"

"I'm going to join the rest of my squad. And since we're in this situation, I believe I should go to the south gate."

"If I'm not wrong, the attacker this time is the Blood Berserker…"

"Yes."

"I will kill him. So, you have to buy enough time for me on the other side. Is that possible?"

"Leave it to us. We'll definitely protect the gate." Paul nodded with a serious expression. No matter how ugly they accomplished their task, they had to kill the Blood Berserker to avenge Rose.

As soon as they reached an agreement, the Water Lord waved his right hand. Suddenly, the water particles in the air began to gather and form droplet after droplet.

The droplets joined together and formed a thread in the air.

"Alright. It's time for me to go." The Water Lord smiled as he grabbed the water thread and slid down, heading straight to the gate.

"!!!" The Blood Berserker widened his eyes, feeling the Spiritual Energy fluctuation. "This is stronger…"

The Blood Berserker instantly realized his plan had gone wrong. He turned around, trying to sense that presence.

"You dare to be distracted?!" Clara appeared behind him and waved her hand, releasing the threads.

"Tsk." The Blood Berserker clicked his tongue and jumped to the side, avoiding all the threads that cut the ground upon contact. If he hadn't protected his body with his ability the entire time, the threads would have cut him into pieces.

But the threat didn't stop there. After dodging Clara's attack, he raised both hands, covering them with blood-red energy.

Two spears made of water flew straight at him, hitting his fist.

"Kh!" The Blood Berserker gritted his teeth, feeling the water like that of metal. It was hard, yet, when the energy ran out, the water turned back to normal, splashing his entire body.

"As expected, the poison is not enough to stop you…" The Blood Berserker gritted his teeth, looking at the Water Lord who stood on top of the wall.

"Demon Relief Squad's Captain, Clara… I'm afraid I can't greet you properly…" The Water Lord ignored him and smiled at Clara.

"It's fine as long as…" Clara glanced at the Blood Berserker.

"Indeed." The Water Lord smiled.

"Haha…" Getting surrounded by an Elder from the Tower Association and a Captain from the Demon Banner Army meant death for a Devil Bishop like him. Yet, the Blood Berserker actually laughed. "This is hilarious!"

"There is nothing funny here." Clara snorted.

"No, this is funny. It feels like all the things we've done have been ruined… The union between demon and human, the mountain of Demon Crystals, and a lot more, including this one…" The Blood Berserker was mentioning the change that Anna had brought in her second life. And that was why he was laughing. He had prepared another surprise for all of them.

"Since I know someone will be ruining my plan, all I have to do is to get even crazier with my plan! That's why I prepare…" The Blood Berserker smirked.

…

North Gate.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

A series of roars suddenly came from the south, alarming all people.

"This is…" Lucian, the Captain of the Demon Assassination Squad, was startled, recognizing this roar. "No way!"

Although he didn't know the demons, the roar itself was infused with a lot of Spiritual Energy.

Lucian glanced to the side while sucking a cold breath. Unlike the bear who had a big body, this demon's size was similar to other demons. But Lucian could see the fluctuation of the Spiritual Energy. His instinct and eyes were telling him that there was a demon, not weaker than the bear, coming toward them.

"Another Superior Demon?!"

Lucian wasn't the only one who recognized the roar. As someone who had seen this level on a daily basis in her previous life, Anna could recognize the amount of Spiritual Energy the demon had.

She gasped as her body trembled in fear. If this was her previous life, she wouldn't be afraid of a mere Superior Demon. But the current her was only a Spirit Wielder. A Superior Demon was completely out of her reach.

"A second Superior Demon? Seriously?" Anna gasped.

"What?" Noel widened his eyes in shock. The plan in his mind began to crumble. At first, he thought it was possible to kill the Devil Bishop by faking the poisoned incident, but it seemed that he didn't take into account the possibility of the second Superior Demon.

'No, no. This shouldn't have happened. If there were two Superior Demons, the Demon Relief Squad wouldn't have died. After all, they won't hesitate to escape while evacuating the city. The Water Lord might use his life to stop them while evacuating the people… So, how come there is a second demon?' Anna trembled, not realizing the second Superior Demon had come because all her actions had changed the future.

Meanwhile, Noel stopped for a moment while glancing at the top of the wall. If they relied on the Water Lord to stop this demon, it would be possible to save the city. But it meant he would break his promise to Rose.

It was true that saving the city was more important than the promise since he could kill the Devil Bishop at another time, Noel wasn't someone who would take his promise lightly. Hence, he had to fulfill that promise no matter what.

​ And that was where he got an idea.

"It seems this is the perfect time to do it… I don't know how strong Dimitri is, but there is no other way but to test his strength in this situation…" Noel gulped down while shouting to Anna. "Anna! Lift me up!"
