Chapter 818 Incoming Trouble



"Incoming!"

Another wave of demons came out. This time, some Peak Level Demons were in the mix.

The Superior Demon, this time, seemed to be a little more clever. It used the Low Level demons to warm up the people and lower their guards by making them think it was over.

After that, the Mid Level Demons encircled them to close the escape route. By doing so, the humans had to go inside and ended up moving closer to each other.

Then, the Advanced Level Demons and the Peak Level Demons appeared among them. Their appearance would cause panic and chaos within the rank. From what he could see, all these demons had a big body. They used their bodies to actually split the humans into smaller groups, making them unable to fight back with their unity.

Noel was annoyed. The lack of information he had this time caused him to fall into this situation.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Of course, Noel had confidence in escaping this place alive. He also had no attachment to these people.

However, his goal was the ruin. No matter what, he had to help these people in order to go to the ruin.

After scanning the area, Noel muttered inwardly, "There are two ways to escape this encirclement. First, we can break through the encirclement because we're only blocked by Mid Level Demons. Still, doing so will cause us to be scattered and these demons will surely target all those scattered ones, resulting in a lot of casualties. As for the second way..."

When Noel thought about it, Legolaz had actually proceeded with the plan. In fact, it seemed Legolaz had expected something like this as though it was no different than what he had experienced in the past.

"Sandstorm!" Legolaz raised his hand into the air.

The sand on the ground began to vibrate and shoot up to the sky while circling the area.

"!!!" Noel covered his eyes because he didn't want sand to enter his body. He even created an ice wall to protect himself from the sand while observing Legolaz's actions.

"Aaahhh!"

"The sand..."

The people panicked as they had a hard time faring against the sand. However, they weren't the only ones who got confused. The quantity was enough to reduce their visibility. Even the demons weren't immune to it.

After that, Legolaz appeared within the sandstorm and killed a single Advanced Level Demon in a split second. Surprisingly, the second prince also joined his maneuver and took down several demons. They looked like they had prepared for it.

Seeing this situation, the Peak Level Demons hurriedly released their own attacks. Some caused a shock wave, while some released their attacks in a certain direction in order to disrupt the flow of the sand.

The moment the sand stopped and started falling down, the visibility returned to normal as the demons noticed how Legolaz and Ramuer managed to kill fifteen Advanced Level Demons in just thirty seconds.

Not liking the situation, the Mid Level Demons began marching forward, killing all humans that stood in their way.

Legolaz shouted, "Men. We don't need to fear as we are strong in this wasteland. Kill all demons, for I, Great Protector Legolaz, will follow you!"

"Oh!"

The situation was pacified immediately. Noel could see some tension in those people's eyes, but it was clear that they were ready to fight back. More importantly, these people were not part of the military.

If this happened in the Muivell Kingdom, he was sure that it would be catastrophic.

"Seriously?" Noel made a weird smile. He truly learned a lot from the difference in their culture.

Since they decided to fight back, he obviously couldn't hold back.

Three Ice Lotuses appeared in the air, startling even Legolaz. The amount of Spiritual Energy that had been poured into them was not the amount a normal Spirit Master could muster.

Then, each lotus released five petals, letting it drop and be carried by the wind.

Each petal either hit the Mid Level Demons or the Advanced Level Demons, securing a safe area. The Mid Level Demons died instantly upon getting attacked, opening a path to escape.

The Advanced Level Demon managed to survive, but a lot of fighters thought this was their chance and eliminated the injured Advanced Level Demons. This way, the area around Noel was freed from the demon's threat.

"Impressive." Legolaz squinted his eyes. At first, he was amazed by Noel's strength, but he still underestimated him, thinking that someone from other kingdoms wouldn't understand the way they fought. However, Noel actually managed to secure a safe area where people could rally themselves in a formation. It looked like the tactic from the Muivell Kingdom, but it also worked in this place.

After killing the demons, a few Spirit Practitioners and Spirit Wielders were rallying the people.

"Normal people are to go to the middle."

"Support us from behind."

"We'll take down the demons."

They ultimately formed two groups and pushed to both sides, expanding their territory.

It looked extremely different from the condition around Legolaz or Ramuer.

Sword Fall.

A few big swords fell on top of an Advanced Level Demon and killed it. Noel also helped those groups and started exterminating the remaining demons.

Still, there were at least thirteen Peak Level Demons around.

Each Spirit Master seemed to be taking one Peak Level Demons as their opponent, and Legolaz had yet to help them as though he was conserving his strength to fight against the Superior Demon.

Although Noel could help him, he decided to focus on these demons first. After all, it would be troublesome if the Superior Demon rallied them in any kind.

Noel moved around to kill the demon with his blade, conserving his Spiritual Energy for the Superior Demon.

As he expected, the Superior Demon had no choice but to reveal itself or all his subordinates would be gone.

All of a sudden, the ground started trembling horribly, forcing the people to lose their balance and fall to their knees.

"Aaaahhh!"

"Aaahhh!"

It seemed that the demons had understood this action and phenomenon and that they could take advantage of it to kill their enemies.

From the looks of it, they had killed half of the humans in the area. This phenomenon allowed them to kill a few more fighters to reduce their overall fighting ability.

Meanwhile, the tremor stopped for a second as Legolaz stomped the ground and ended up launching himself into the air.

It turned out the Superior Demon had been lurking around him the whole time. Because the distance between him and Noel was more than fifty meters, the Demon Hunter couldn't find it.

The Superior Demon was a desert lizard. Its size was like a few buildings in the city attached into one. Its skin was similar to that of sand and its Spiritual Energy blended with the surrounding.

If it was anyone else, the lizard would definitely succeed in its ambush. When it opened its mouth, it could easily swallow a single building.

Fortunately, Legolaz jumped high enough to give him a few seconds.

The lizard raised its body, determined to swallow Legolaz.

However, Legolaz waved both hands, controlling the sand. A pair of giant hands started to form from the sand and grabbed the Superior Demon's neck, trying to pull it apart. But because the lizard's body was tough, the giant hands only ended up pushing the lizard to the ground so that it didn't reach Legolaz.

After that, the lizard slapped the sand with its tail and caused the sand to vibrate. Legolaz tried to control his sand, but surprisingly, the Spiritual Energy around the sand disappeared, causing them to fall.

"Eh?!" Legolaz widened his eyes in shock. His eyes seemed to be playing him, but he certainly saw the Spiritual Energy disperse with a single shock wave. This might be the lizard's true ability. But if that was right, it would be extremely difficult to fight against this lizard since they couldn't fight with their Spiritual Energy.

...

From afar, Dimitri was observing them carefully. Although he couldn't see everything, as long as he could follow the directions of the ice element user, he was certain that Noel was still alive.

Tristan and Sandra were standing next to him, watching the battle. But because their eyes were not as sharp as his, they couldn't understand what was going on. They only knew there were a lot of people who had died.

"If you want to be a good maid in the Ardagan Family, you should be able to at least defeat a Mid Level Demon by yourself. If you reach this level, even if you don't want to work for the family anymore, a lot of people would definitely want you." Dimitri explained.

"Don't worry, Sir. I'll follow the Ardagan Family for the rest of my life." Sandra was determined because she knew Tristan would be there.

"Alright. You—" Dimitri suddenly fell silent. He couldn't help but turn around, looking at the distance. He looked unsure but troubled.

"Sir?" Sandra tilted her head in confusion.

"Master once told us about the inn he stayed at. Do you still remember it?"

"Yes."

"Both of you are to go there and hide there." Dimitri's shadow rose from the ground and formed a sword. As he grabbed that blade, he stated, "We'll come to you after solving this problem."

They didn't know what Dimitri saw, but it was clear the trouble was extremely big.

Normal people couldn't see it easily. But an expert at Dimitri's level could see the looming killing intent on the horizon.
