Chapter 995 Decisive Moment (13)

"Die." Qiel shouted while releasing her arrow.

All of a sudden, an eruption of energy shook the area. The fluctuation carried chills, making it distinct from any other people in this place.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"!!!" Qiel was in shock. Because Dimitri couldn't do anything after using up his power, she thought that a normal arrow would suffice. However, that burst of energy actually repelled the arrow.

After that, a towering ice wall appeared between Dimitri and Qiel.

Qiel gritted her teeth. It was clear that this power came from Noel. If she didn't make a move fast, Dimitri would survive. At the same time, she wondered where this power came from.

'Did Noel have a True Spirit Body?' Qiel's face became pale. There was no data about it. 'Had he deliberately hidden this power the whole time? Does that mean the Ardagan family has three people with True Spirit Body?'

The True Spirit Body meant everything. It was basically the lifeline of a family. The Spirit Grandmasters might be scarce, but the ones with True Spirit Body were even rarer.

In the Muivell Kingdom alone, there were only ten people with True Spirit Body. Getting Anna away from the Royal Family alone was already huge. If Noel was revealed to have a True Spirit Body, the power balance would tip.

That was right. In addition to the runes, the Ardagan family might become the top three powerhouses in the entire kingdom. The only thing they lacked was the number of normal soldiers they could have due to the limit imposed on the noble's personal army law.

"..." Qiel's face turned dark. Although she expected that Noel might be able to awaken the True Spirit Body, she was thinking it would be much further into the future. He was indeed talented, but his insane talents only bloomed recently unlike Anna who had shown her brilliance since the beginning.

No, that was probably not important. Even though she was heavily injured, Noel or Dimitri had to die. With that thought in mind, she looped around the ice wall.

All of a sudden, she felt another fluctuation coming from behind the ice wall. Her instinct kicked in as she suddenly saw a little flash coming from behind the ice wall.

Then, a sharp sword wave cut through the ice wall and headed straight to her. This was Noel's Sword Transmutation.

Qiel shouldn't have realized that the wall was actually pretty thin or she would have shot through it. Noel took advantage of this information to launch a sneak attack.

Qiel raised her bow, trying to withstand this attack. However, she had focused her energy on her feet earlier, so she didn't have enough energy to block this attack.

Even if her bow was hard enough, the Sword Transmutation launched her more than thirty meters away. She rolled on the ground a few times and only stopped after her back hit a big, sturdy tree.

"Gah!" Qiel spat a mouthful of blood.

The two Devil Saints were completely stunned. This kind of appearance and power could only be drawn by the True Spirit Body after all.

They had to use their all in order to fight Noel evenly in his previous state, so could they actually do anything when Noel released his True Spirit Body.

The two stopped for a moment, wondering what they should do. If they continued fighting, it was clear they were going to lose. Then, shouldn't they run away?

The moment he touched the arrow, he froze everything, including the spiritual energy in the arrow's trail.

With Qiel's current condition, she shouldn't be able to muster too much of her strength.

"Kh." Qiel gritted her teeth. If this continued, Noel would be able to kill the other Devil Saint before chasing after her. Of course, she knew that Noel didn't have a lot of spiritual energy left, but she still didn't know how much she had left.

What Qiel didn't know was that he only had ten percent left. As he said before, everything was a bluff.

First, he sent Qiel flying so that she couldn't prevent him from killing one of them. And after the defeat of the Transformation Devil Saint, Qiel knew that this campaign was as good as a loss.

She had two options. First, she could ignore her condition and keep fighting. Even if she lost, Noel would definitely suffer as well. The second option was to pull back and preserve anything she still had. Even though they would suffer a massive loss, they could still do something in the future. At the very least, she, the brain of the Supreme Devil Organization, was still alive.

She never thought that Noel would have this trump card.

At first, she was convinced that their victory was nothing but assured as soon as they lured them out. Sadly, no matter how hard she overestimated Noel, Noel just kept surprising her with one thing after another.

Qiel gritted her teeth and shouted, using the last bit of her power to transmit her orders. "All demons! Go rampage and stop them! Laufey, Arvan, we're retreating!"

"!!!" Laufey and the Spear Devil Saint widened their eyes. Laufey saw the power Noel unleash from afar while the Spear Devil Saint thought the order came a bit too late as one of them had fallen.

"Do you think you can leave as you please?" Anna raised her sword, trying to step in.

However, the Superior Tiger Demon suddenly roared. It sacrificed its front right foot so that it could blow Howard away.

"Kh!" Howard gritted his teeth, looking at the tiger as it moved toward Anna.

*Roar!*

The tiger came in Anna's way, causing her to block its attack instead of chasing Laufey.

In the meantime, Noel hurriedly positioned himself to stop Laufey instead of the Spear Devil Saint. Laufey was worth more than the Spear Devil Saint due to his True Spirit Body, so killing him here would weaken the Supreme Devil Organization even further.

However, the Spear Devil Saint stood between them while saying, "Laufey. Go! The old hag's condition is severe."

"I know." Laufey nodded and sped up. The Spear Devil Saint planned to sacrifice himself to stop Noel. The rest of the demons also became frenzied, starting to overwhelm the soldiers.

Seeing the situation caused Howard to step in as commander so that their formation didn't collapse. However, he might abandon this post depending on Noel's order.

Noel was forced to choose between sacrificing a lot of things to deal huge damage to the organization or not sacrificing anything but still killing two Devil Saints.

In the end, Noel announced his decision. "Don't chase after them. Don't let any more soldiers die here! We will clean up this battlefield and return to our city."
