Chapter 732 In Sync



"Should we loop around them?" Nicole asked.

As expected of the world outside the border, the number of demons increased drastically. They were moving quite fast. Since Anna and Noel were already Spirit Masters, their speed was similar to that of a horse. And this speed allowed them to maintain a proper form and conserve their stamina.

Once they heard Nicole's question, Noel answered with a clear mind, "We will break through them. Anna and I will take the front. Dimitri and Damian will take the sides in case they charge at us."

"Got it." Dimitri took out his sword and faintly emitted his killing intent.

Damian had no choice since Dimitri had made his move, leaving Noel and Anna behind.

Nicole was surprised that they didn't hide their intention to fight these demons, but before she could say anything, Noel and Anna sprinted past her.

"…" Nicole sighed. She could also fight, but since she was a Spirit Grandmaster, she should watch over them before helping them. "There are one Peak Level Demon and six Advanced Level Demons. Be careful."

"Got it." Noel and Anna answered at the same time as they increased their pace. Their movements were in sync as though they understood what each other planned to do.

Noel could see a herd of buffaloes. They were mostly black in color, but there was a bigger one whose size was twice as big as the rest. Its color was red and a single sound from him caused the six buffaloes to charge toward Noel and Anna.

Each buffalo was emitting Spiritual Energy. They concentrated the energy in their horns. If Noel and Anna took this head-on, there was a chance that they would be stopped.

However, Noel and Anna actually smirked as though they felt these enemies were easier than they expected.

When they were about to clash with the buffaloes, they jumped toward each other, exchanging their positions.

"!!!" The buffaloes tried to follow their movement, but they ended up hitting each other.

Still, these demons were Advanced Level Demons. They still had intelligence and good ability.

Even though they crashed into each other, they still managed their balance, allowing them to continue and exchange their target.

Unfortunately for them, the slight disturbance was all Noel and Anna needed. They were about to slip past the buffaloes.

Noel struck a buffalo's horn as though he was challenging the buffalo into a battle of strength.

The buffalo's eyes turned red, and it stomped the ground, trying to drag Noel's sword away. However, Noel actually didn't put any strength into this swing, letting the blade drop from his hand.

And that was when Noel touched the buffalo, pouring his fire element onto its body.

In that instant, the buffalo was covered in an overbearing black fire.

It looked like Noel defeated an Advanced Level Demon in a single move, but it didn't change the fact that he threw his weapon away.

'Idiot. Why did you throw your weapon away?' Nicole frowned, wondering if Noel had a proper education as a swordsman.

But before the sword touched the ground, there was a black flame coming from Noel's other hand. This black flame turned into another hand as if it was the extension of Noel's hand.

This was the result of his training. He couldn't show the result in the last mission, but his control had reached this level.

He managed to use his flame to catch the sword. Then, he swung it again to the second buffalo. The second buffalo was ready for the same trick, so it slowed down its momentum.

But Noel actually made a complete swing, striking the horn as hard as possible. Due to losing its momentum, the demon got stopped on its track. After that, three giant swords appeared above the demon and skewered it.

As for the last demon, Noel used his Circular Sword Strike to fight against the energy on the demon's horns. It had equal strength against the concentrated energy from the demon, but that was enough for Noel.

Damian had shown him the possibility of Rune. So, he used the Floating Rune, one of the five new runes he got from the survival mission. It caused the demon to move upward and float in the air.

But because the sword struck its horn, a slight upward movement caused the sword to hit the demon's head instead of its horn. As a result, the sword sliced the demon in half.

"What?" Nicole was stunned, never expecting that Noel could actually defeat three Advanced Level Demons in rapid succession. He also didn't lose a lot of his momentum as he skillfully chose his movement in a way he could approach the Peak Level Demon while killing the three Advanced Level Demons near him.

Surprisingly, Anna also finished killing the demons at the same time as him.

"What is—" Nicole gasped. The pair approached the Peak Level Demon.

The Peak Level Demon gathered its energy in its throat before opening it to let out a roar that alarmed the demons around.

But the moment the jaw dropped, the demon couldn't produce a sound.

Its body began to feel numb. When it took another look at its body, the demon realized the electricity was stopping his movement.

The demon hurriedly circulated his energy to remove the effect of the electricity, but that was when Anna struck the demon's neck, trying to kill it.

Anna's movement accelerated at the last second, taking the demon aback. However, a Peak Level Demon was still capable of dodging this attack, albeit barely. Her sword still grazed its neck.

However, Anna made a playful smile as though her job wasn't to finish him. The demon widened its eyes and turned its head around, albeit it was too late.

Noel used the Fear Emotion to his Everchanging Emotion to increase the speed of his swing. He swiftly beheaded the demon. Yes, Anna was in charge of immobilizing the demon while Noel delivered the killing blow.

As a result, these seven demons died without being able to fight back.

Nicole dropped her jaw and made an awkward smile, "What's wrong with these two…"
