After the bull demon took the lead, the demons shifted, giving way for the bull demon to chase them personally. The other demons also followed suit since it would be impossible for the bull demon to take care of all of them.


    Seeing the situation worked ording to the n, Noel believed everything was going to work out.


    But once again, they were taken out by surprise because the roar from earlier had called all kinds of demons, including the ones from the water.


    "Young Master!" Ilzen narrowed his eyes. Even though his power was enough to handle the situation by himself, he still wanted to let Noel lead them. This would be the proof of Noel''s strength. He would surely report everything he had witnessed during the mission.


    "Elsa, nton!" Noel shouted.


    "Got it." Both of them nodded their heads, acknowledging their parts.


    Elsa threw another wave of Demon Crystals and made them shoot the demonsing from the ground. Meanwhile, nton grabbed a bag made of leather. From the looks of it, this bag had money as well. ton struck the iing fish demon that was going to ambush him.


    "Money Smash!"


    nton roared while hitting the fish demon with his bag as hard as he could. The strength and the weight of the money were amplified. The weight alone made the fish fall unconsciousness and the force knocked it back to the water.


    Elsa truly had a good firepower, but her attack was a bit monotone because they all came out of the Demon Crystals. If they could keep track of the crystals, they could easily avoid the attacks.


    Meanwhile, nton had a unique power rted to money. He could use the money as everything, including that money bag that might even be more powerful than the average warhammer.


    Since they had shown their power, Noel could finally focus on the bull demon, knowing it would be fine to let them take care of the rest. And with the water behind them, they only had to worry about other directions.


    "It''s time then." Noel smirked and leaped forth, waving his sword.


    The bull demon was already angry due to how useless the minions were. So, instead of blocking Noel''s attack, the bull demon actually stepped forward and struck Noel''s sword with all his strength.


    Noel froze the ground and spread it to the bull. Because the loss of the friction that kept his body stable, the bull demon tripped and spun his body, almost hitting the other demons next to him. If not for their reflex and instinct, they would have died.


    Using this chance, Noel summoned Sword Fall on top of the Bull Demon, trying to kill it.


    The bull demon let go of the trunk for a bit and caught the giant sword with his muscr hands.


    Noel had expected the bull demon to be strong enough to stop this sword, so he jumped to the bull demon to kill him.


    Seeing Noel''s sneakiness, the other three Advanced Level Demons tried to stop him. But nton and Ilzen stood in their way, not letting them pass.


    Mega sh.


    Noel struck the bull''s neck to give a clean cut, but he suddenly heard a clicking sound as if his sword met another metal.


    "Huh?" Noel squinted his eyes and noticed the bull having covered his neck with metal. "No, the demon is turning his skin into metal."


    The bull smirked and suddenly tilted his body, swinging the giant sword toward Noel.


    "!!!" Noel was surprised that the bull actually tricked him into approaching him so that he could attack him like this.


    Still, Noel had some preparations for the worst. Right after his swing, he had summoned a snowke in front of him, falling down to the bull''s chest.


    "Mooo?" The bull demon noticed the snowke, but it was toote. The snowke suddenly exploded and enveloped them into icy cold mist.


    Even Noel moved back a bit to distance himself from the core of explosion, watching how the crystal trap the bull in a thickyer of ice.


    "Hu…" Noel took a deep breath. "Did it work?"


    Noel examined the ice, but a crack soon appeared out of nowhere. The bull''s body also began to vibrate as its upper body started turning to ck-colored metal like Ardagan''s color.


    *Roar!*


    The bull demon let out a roar while shattering the ice trapping him. He panted a few times while ring at Noel, realizing he had been underestimating him this whole time. To defeat Noel, he couldn''t hold back anymore.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Noel clicked his tongue. "It seems it won''t be that easy, huh."


    He thought he could injure him with Mega sh as long as he could attack the bull''s weak spot, but with the additional ability that turned his skin into metal, Noel couldn''t find any other way to defeat the bull other than utilizing his Sword Fall.


    Considering the Sword Fall was his strongest attack, Noel opened his system. While running away from the bull, Noel made it look like he was fighting instead of tapping his system.


    ''Can''t I just use my thought to upgrade my skills? It''s kinda annoying to upgrade them with my hands in a battle like this.'' Noelined. ''I just want to upgrade the Sword Fall two times. It should be enough to handle an Advanced Level Demon like this.''


    To his surprise, Ardagan seemed to be able to receive the order and update the system.


    [Upgrading the Sword Fall.]


    [Upgrade Complete.]


    [Upgrade Complete.]


    Skill: Sword Fall (3/5)


    Requirement: 11 SP


    Noel got an influx of knowledge about Sword Fall. The next stage might not be adding the power of the Sword Fall itself, but it increased the numbers. This was what Noel had been waiting for.


    He might have used 16 SP to upgrade the skill twice, but it was worth it.


    Noel smirked and raised his hands. Three giant swords appeared above their heads. Even if it was the bull demon, it would die if it got attacked by three of these swords.


    "Sword Fall."
