Chapter 820 Cannon



Boom!

"!!!" Not only Noel, but all the people in the area heard that loud explosive sound. The most concerned about it was none other than Legolaz.

"Another wave of demons?" Legolaz hurriedly turned his head around while jumping back to get some distance from the Superior Demon. But when he took a look at the explosion, the clash between Spiritual Energy looked like it came from humans instead of demons. "Huh? What is going on?"

On the one hand, they were in the middle of the expedition. On the other hand, he was bringing the second prince. It seemed that there were experts fighting against each other and there was a chance that they would end up getting dragged into their battle.

If that happened, the second prince's life would be in danger. And the power coming from them was no less than him. If he was closer, he would realize that they were actually stronger than him.

Only Noel understood what had happened. He knew Dimitri would be watching him from afar and the fact that he could see the black energy which should belong to Dimitri, it was clear that their guests had arrived.

"The Supreme Devil Organization has come? So fast..." Noel predicted that they would come after he met his way to the capital, but he had miscalculated the waiting time for this expedition. Two days were enough for them to chase after him. "Tsk."

As he predicted, since the Supreme Devil Organization had arrived, they would definitely come to him and seize him.

Ten mysterious figures were approaching the battlefield at high speed. They had covered their entire body with tight white clothes, leaving only their eyes visible.

Noel scanned them and all of them had a similar affection. Yes, they were hostile and ready to capture him. There were six Spirit Masters and four Spirit Grandmasters.

"Six Devil Inspectors and four Devil Bishops, huh? To think they would mobilize four Spirit Grandmasters just to capture me... But if I'm not wrong, they should have more Spirit Grandmasters and Spirit Masters. They're probably hiding elsewhere." Noel muttered.

Laufey had brought six Spirit Grandmasters to capture him, but he managed to repel them even though with the help of the Demon Relief Squad.

So, he believed there would be more people since their aim was to capture him instead of killing him.

Noel could also see three figures in the distance. Although the Affection Medal couldn't capture their names because it was too far, it was enough to tell him that those were the strongest people.

In other words, they had sent two Devil Saints to capture him and Dimitri was holding them back for the time being.

"Two Devil Saints... Surely, they brought at least ten Spirit Grandmasters, right?" Noel took a deep breath, realizing the situation was trickier than he expected.

However, he felt lucky because he didn't see the strongest Devil Saint among them. Dimitri also hadn't used his True Spirit Body.

Before those people reached his position, Noel chose to talk with Ardagan instead of running away. 'Ardagan. Have you predicted this?'

[It's impossible to form a Spirit Link with me even if you ask me this time. The condition can't be changed even in this situation.]

'So, you're saying that I'll die either way.' Noel sighed. If he formed a Spirit Link with Ardagan, he would die from the fire. If he didn't, the Supreme Devil Organization would succeed.

Fortunately, Ardagan actually denied it.

[You might stand a chance with Heisk and the Rune Body.]

'Heisk?' Noel furrowed his eyebrows before understanding the real meaning. He couldn't help but look at the ruin. If he managed to utilize the ruin from the previous civilization and got the item that could help Heisk, there was a chance he could win against them. He was concerned about Dimitri, Tristan, and Sandra.

Considering Dimitri hadn't used his True Spirit Body, he thought the situation was still somewhat under control.

"I see. In that case..." Noel formed a plan in his mind. "It seems that I can't hold back anymore."

Without hesitation, he waved his left hand toward the lizard, shooting out a black-colored phoenix.

"!!!" Legolaz widened his eyes in surprise. This was the first time he saw this kind of phoenix. The fire that created it actually made him feel dread. "What is this?"

However, the Superior Demon's unique ability was beyond the phoenix. With a single flap of its tail, the phoenix instantly dispersed and the fire was extinguished.

"Seriously?" Noel never thought that the lizard could actually neutralize his fire. But it was clear that the lizard would definitely be able to help him.

The ten mysterious figures appeared around Noel, surrounding him.

Two Spirit Masters approached him from two sides. Noel summoned another phoenix with his left hand while waving his sword with his right hand.

"Be careful." A Spirit Grandmaster appeared and formed a stone wall in front of the Spirit Master. The phoenix ended up hitting the wall and burned it to nothing. It was clear they had studied his power.

Meanwhile, the other Spirit Master struck Noel's blade in order to restrain him.

The remaining four Spirit Masters approached Noel this time. In order to escape, Noel tried to grab the Spirit Master that stopped his sword, but the other party ended up grabbing his wrist, locking him in place.

Unfortunately for him, Noel had drawn a Rune Blast on his left chest. His left hand became a tunnel that transported that energy as Noel released it from his palm.

Rune Blast.

"!!!" The Spirit Master didn't expect there was a gimmick to his left hand, but it was too late. The impact that the Rune Blast produced broke the bones in his arms, rendering him useless. "Kh!"

The Spirit Master tried to endure the pain, but Noel took advantage of that little gap to slide his sword and eventually made a complete swing, severing the guy's neck.

"One down," Noel muttered while looking around. The four Spirit Masters were ready to attack him, but they seemed to be more careful after seeing what his left hand was capable of doing.

Four Spirit Masters threw chains toward Noel. The Spiritual Energy that covered the chains started to entangle with each other, forming a complex pattern that somehow locked Noel in his position.

"Hmm?" Noel tried to blast it with his rune again, but the moment the shock wave hit, the chain remained in one place as if it was incapable of moving.

Since it surrounded him from all sides except below and above, Noel decided to jump to escape. He didn't expect that the people that the organization sent were this good. Even though his strength was similar to that of a Grandmaster, he still couldn't do anything against their weird attacks. They must be the elites of organizations.

Once he leaped into the air, he formed a pair of phoenix wings on his back, ready to fly away. But he noticed the Spirit Grandmasters releasing their Spiritual Energy as if they were ready to capture him.

But before he could do something, another explosion occurred in the distance.

"!!!" Noel turned his head around and noticed there was a big shining pattern in the distance. It seemed that Dimitri was trying to alert him.

'There is an archer?' Noel asked himself while forming a Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune. In addition, he formed the Ice Mirrors and stacked them together before forming a Hardening Rune to strengthen them.

Suddenly, the light flickered as it flew straight toward him.

Boom!

The impact caused a big explosion like that of a cannon.

"Gah!" Noel was blown a hundred meters away from the impact alone. The light didn't manage to penetrate the ice block, but the force contained in it pushed the block so fast that it blew him that far. Noel could feel his left hand growing numb from the impact alone. "Are you serious? I think Dimitri has told me about it."

"When I was active in the army, I knew three Devil Saints as I had been ordered to kill them on sight. The first one is the only Spirit Transcendence, the one we met not long ago. The second one is Laufey Ardagan. And last but not least, the best sniper in the world, Qiel. It's said that a single arrow from her is like a cannon. It can shatter the best defense easily. Alexander might be the strongest, but the one who I should prioritize to kill is actually her. You can say that she is practically someone who can go against the army on her own."

"I can fully understand what that means." Noel gritted his teeth, finally experiencing the attack. When he landed on the ground, two more shots were launched. Fortunately, it missed the target.

However, each shot caused a powerful explosion. One of them even hit a Peak Level Demon and after taking that shot, the Peak Level Demon's body exploded until its body couldn't be recognized anymore. As for the second one, it landed on an empty spot, but the shock wave it produced blew the people away.

"I'm afraid those two shots are not meant to hit me..." Noel looked at both sides and realized that his entire area had been cleared. "Now I can see why the army wants to kill her more than a Spirit Transcendence... No wall can remain intact if she attacks. A single shot can even kill tens if not hundreds of people."

Noel took a deep breath, watching the Spirit Masters and Spirit Grandmasters approaching him, ready to take him down.

"This is not going to be easy."
