Chapter 313 Not Enough
Noel took a deep breath, staring at the demon before him. After learning how Noel fought this whole time, it started pouncing on Noel while releasing blue light b.a.l.l.s around its body.
All of these b.a.l.l.s shot out beams that could kill Noel.
Normally, he would easily repel this attack by using the Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune. But he had to consider what his second ident.i.ty, Iadre, could do.
Although he wanted to use all his strength here, if he gave these people too much information, they would realize Iadre was him.
So, Noel had restricted himself to Everchanging Emotion Sword Style and Ice Spirit. Of course, Noel also planned to use his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style when he acted as Iadre, but he made sure no one was there first. As for the others, Noel could use his fire ability and Rune, which should be enough for him to climb the rank.
As long as he became a vice captain, he should be able to find a way to retire and become a baron. At that time, he would start climbing the n.o.bility ladder and reclaiming his land.
So, in this fight, Noel had sworn only to use his Swordsmanship, honing it as much as possible.
When he saw the incoming beams, he leaped back, avoiding all of them. This wolf was clever. He knew that Noel Joy"s emotion which was used to protect could only handle one beam at a time.
Hence, if it scattered its attacks, Noel had no other way but to avoid it.
"Tsk. Is this the limit of his current swordsmanship? I can see that he"s still making awkward movements here and there, but is this really his current limit?" Stella gritted her teeth. She was annoyed that Noel couldn"t do much more, considering the uniqueness of the swordsmanship itself.
"Mhm?" Jonathan raised his head and turned around as if feeling something. "Hey. Do you feel it?"
"!!!" Stella instantly spread her presence and realized multiple demons were coming by. "Not good. We have to stop th—!"
Zion grabbed her hand, preventing her from interfering.
"Zion?" Stella gritted her teeth, confused to why Zion stopped her.
"That"s enough, Stella. We"ve discussed this. The reason why everyone wants to stop you from becoming his mentor is due to this. Just take a look at it more calmly, he could sense the demon wolf earlier, so don"t you think he has felt those as well? Then, why is he not using all his power?"
"!!!" Stella"s body trembled, realizing Noel had a plan.
Zion stopped her earlier, not because he wanted to endanger Noel, but because he didn"t want Stella to spoil him. As long as Noel hadn"t given up, he would believe in Noel.
Stella bit her lips and decided to watch after him for the time being.
As Zion said, Noel had sensed them with his Demon Hunter Medal. There were a total of four demons planning to ambush him. He didn"t know about their levels yet, but he felt they wouldn"t be too weak.
The wolf had been howling this whole time and it turned out it was trying to call its friends. But because he acted alone earlier, his group had been separated from him, causing them to be delayed for this long.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter"s release on N0v3l-B1n.
Noel kept fighting the demon wolf without an expression, not telling the wolf that he was aware of the demons that planned to ambush him.
It was until one last moment when the wolf and Noel were about to clash, four demon wolves suddenly rushed to them and leaped into the air.
*Aoo!*
*Aoo!*
"Three Advanced Level Demons and one Mid Level Demon…" Noel a.s.sessed their abilities.
The demon wolf before him smiled as if everything went according to his plan. However, Noel smiled back as if he made him think it was according to his plan.
"!!!" The Advanced Level Demon was smart enough to realize Noel had calculated all this. *Ao—!*
Before it could alarm the other demons, Noel leaped to the side.
Noel waved his left hand and formed a snowflake, throwing it at them.
*Aoo—!*
The demons realized they were fooled. Unfortunately for them, their realization came too late.
The snowflake had touched them and exploded.
*Boom!*
"!!!" Stella, Zion, and Jonathan felt chill down their spines when seeing the ice blast.
"This is…" Stella gulped down, watching how a single explosion covered all five demons in ice. They couldn"t avoid it because they were pouncing on him earlier.
Still, as one would expect from Advanced Level Demons, they released their Spiritual Energy and even their abilities and broke free from the ice. But it was clear that the cold had entered their bodies.
The injured wolf and one other Advanced Level Demon got their bodies shaking while the Mid Level Demon was completely frozen to death.
"Is this truly an ability of a Spirit Wielder? What kind of Ice Spirit he has?" Jonathan asked with a grim expression.
Noel had proven himself to be strong enough to join their Zero Squad. Some of the people from the First Squad were indeed a Spirit Master, but they were lacking in talent.
All of them were already middle-aged people, so it was clear that they didn"t have too much potential in going further. That was why they were not cut to become a member of the zero squad.
However, Noel was different. He only learned everything for less than a year and somehow became this strong. His observation skill was extraordinary as well.
Looking at these facts alone, Noel was truly a peerless talent. His future would be limitless as long as people allowed him to grow. They were glad that Noel joined them because it would also elevate their status like when Septa joined his army.
But amidst of their praises about Noel, there were two things they didn"t know. Noel was actually clicking his tongue while glaring at the demons. "This is not enough. Ardagan, use my Skill Points to raise Freezing Crystal"s level."
That was right. This compet.i.tion was simply to let Noel find his weakness and solve it. He knew that his Freezing Crystal would be useless sooner or later, so he had to increase its level. This was the first thing that Stella and the others didn"t know. Noel"s system was beyond their imagination.
As for the second one, it was…
