"!!!" Noel opened his mouth in surprise. It turned out the previous cry was the hawk calling other demons on the mountain. It nned to raze the vige to the ground.


    ''Ugh. Should I order them to evacuate the vige? But ording to the roar, I know they still need at least a few minutes to reach here. But if it''s toote, it''s going to be a problem…'' Noel thought for a moment.


    The hawk saw this opportunity and flew to the sky.


    ''Ah, it used the split second I was in deep thought to fly?'' Noel clicked his tongue and leaped into the sky and started using his Hyper Jump to chase after the hawk.


    The hawk suddenly stopped and pped its wings to create another gale that could blow him away.


    ''I can dodge—!'' Noel suddenly remembered something and nced back, realizing that the hawk was nning to destroy the vige if he dodged this attack. ''How is this hawk so intelligence?''


    He finally realized why it would be wise to fight Advanced Level Demon or above with a group instead of going alone. Their wisdom had been opened and the demon wouldn''t let go of an opportunity to weaken the opponent.


    <o>,m He could choose not to care, but this wasn''t Noel if he abandoned the vige behind him.</o>


    Noel took a deep breath and raised his sword above his head. His expression became cold as if it was targeting both the gale and the hawk.


    When the hawk sent the powerful gale toward him, Noel opened his eyes while gritting his teeth. "How dare you?!"


    The anger was transferred into his sword. With the addition of the Spirit Weaponry that the Sword Saint taught him, Noel sliced the gale into two.


    He didn''t use other emotions that was more suited to protect, but this was the best oue he had so far.


    Noel was already used to anger because of Anna, so he could release more of its power than any other emotions. He imagined the people below were brutally murdered by the hawk, evoking his anger.


    He utilized this anger with his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to split the gale into half, causing the wind to go in two directions.


    Although it didn''t destroy the house, the gale hit the farnds, destroying it.


    "Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue. He was angry at himself for not being able to protect everything.


    That was why he kicked the air again and flew to the hawk.


    "Die, you demon!" Noel gritted his teeth, making a sharp sh to the hawk''s neck.


    As a flying animal, the hawk could maneuver easily in the air, dodging this sh. But Noel''s aim wasn''t the sh.


    He already knew that his sh would be avoided, so he let go of his sword and caught the hawk with his hand.


    "Undying Fire."


    Noel released his ck me to burn the hawk.


    *Cry!*


    The hawk was struggling. Although his skin was tough, the Undying Fire was simply too fierce.


    The hawk tried to extinguish it but to no avail. The fire simply red up again and again, cooking the bird alive.


    Noel felt a sharp pain in his head, realizing the toll that the Undying Fire had in his body.


    He endured the pain and kicked the demon to the ground.


    Little did Noel know, the people at the bottom actually thought of him as a savior. Due to the night, they couldn''t see the ck me very clearly.


    That was why they thought the hawk demon was the one using that me. And with the addition of the explosion they first heard in the beginning, they believed this was the case.


    They never thought that Noel Ignition Sword and Undying Fire was actually the culprit.


    "Incredible." Jasmine clenched her fists. "Even the most outstanding Apprentice Knight only manage to fight Mid Level Demons from what I know. But he can actually fight an Advanced Level Demon?"


    "What did you say? That hawk is an Advanced Level Demon? Impossible. He is too young to be able to defeat an Advanced Level Demon."


    "But that''s the case."


    "The demon must be extremely weak."


    "I don''t think so." Jasmine gulped down. "If you take another look at the battle from here, he keeps shing the demon but not a single attack actually prate its skin. The demon is only afraid of those big swords. From the looks of it, it prates the ground quite deep, so the power is extraordinary. That''s why I believe that hawk is an Advanced Level Demon."


    "So, he can save us?"


    "But there are roarsing from the mountain. More demons are approaching!"


    "That''s right." Jasmine turned around and shouted, "Let''s descend the mountain. For now, we have to leave this vige to make sure we''re not bing his burden."


    "But our houses… A part of our farm has also been destroyed. It''s near winter."


    "Thend can be restored and the house can be rebuilt. However, if you die, then it''s over! That''s why we have to leave. We''re only a month away from winter, but we have a good harvest this year. There should be enough food tost for winter."


    When they heard Jasmine''s words, they agreed with her and finally decided to leave the vige for now.


    Noel, on the other hand, was too focused on the hawk because he had to kill this demon before the demons.


    "Sword Fall!"


    The three giant swords appeared again, trying to kill the burning hawk on the ground.


    Despite the constant pain from being cooked alive, the hawk still managed to avoid these three swords, albeit barely.


    Seeing that the hawk''s movement speed had decreased a bit, Noel took this chance to test another emotion.


    It was the shame. He felt ashamed that his sword couldn''t even prate the demon''s skin, so he used that shame to fill his sword, giving it a pration power.


    "Ha!" Noel shouted while stabbing the hawk.


    Thetter felt a danger from the tip of Noel''s de, so it rolled its body to dodge. Unfortunately, Noel was different than the Sword Fall. He managed to change the trajectory of his thrust and managed to impale the hawk''s wing.


    *Cry!*


    The hawk let out another cry of pain because this was the first time Noel managed to prate its skin.


    However, that advantage didn''tst long because the roars had finally reached his position.


    "!!!"Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    *Roar!* Ten demons suddenly came out of the woods, ready to pounce on him.
