"That''s two!" Noel nced to the side. The two demons from earlier had recovered and started approaching him. The chicken demon also wanted to help.


    Noel drew the Rune st, one of the runes he got from the mission that asked him to survive Laufey''s attack. The Rune st shone dimly before it began gathering Spiritual Energy on top of the chicken.


    "!!!" The chicken widened its eyes, but the rune had gathered enough energy and caused a massive explosion of energy.


    *Bam!*


    The chicken was sted to the ground. The power was so strong that it shattered the ice on the wing alongside the very wing itself.


    The other two demons had arrived and tried to stop him. Noel pped his wings, blocking their attacks with his Phoenix Wings. Meanwhile, he drew the Rune Arrow and shot it at the chicken.


    The chicken tried to change its skin, but the arrow was too quick, piercing through his body.


    "That''s three," Noel muttered.


    The people were quite speechless when they saw Noel''s abilities. He managed to utilize his sword, fire, ice, and rune abilities perfectly, keeping the enemies unable to get used to his attack.


    ''Seriously?'' Damian frowned. He kept ncing at Noel since he dared to challenge six Peak Level Demons, worried. But it seemed that his worry was unnecessary.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ''Howe he bes so strong with an additional element? Now that I think about it, he rarely uses his sword abilities and even those weird circle abilities are limited to only two… it seems that he has never gone all out this whole time.'' Nicole assessed Noel and nced at Anna, ''It seems that she has seen all this and be interested in him.''


    Meanwhile, Anna was getting fired up. Since Noel could handle six Peak Level Demons by himself now that he could use all his abilities, she didn''t n to lose.


    There were multiple demons approaching from the front. She stomped the ground and channeled the electricity forward, spreading it so that each demon would be struck by at least one lightning bolt.


    *Roar!*


    *Roar!*


    *Roar!*


    The demons were wailing in pain, but Anna shot out a lightning dragon that swallowed and electrocuted all these demons to death.


    If Noel could defeat six Peak Level Demons at the same time, she was nning to kill sixty demons by herself.


    Seeing the littlepetition between the two put a smile on Nicole''s face. There was such synergy between the two.


    Noel continued fighting the remaining three demons. He used his Circr Sword Strike to repel the two demons before jumping to the side, moving to the demon that got hit by the beam before.


    "!!!" The demon realized it had be the new target, so it tried to get away. But when he stepped back, his foot suddenly slid on the ground. The demon was startled and tried to check it, finding a thinyer of ice where his foot was standing earlier. It realized Noel had used this ice to prevent him from going away.


    *Roar!*


    The demon chose to step forward, trying to buy time until the other two could help.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Noel didn''t n to prolong the fight, fully knowing that other Superior Demons or Peak Level Demons had a chance to hear the request from these demons.


    He used the Split Step to be two, moving in opposite directions.


    The demon was confused for a second before its instinct told him there was danger from the right. It turned around, only to find an intense heat breezing its skin. The gale was so hot that it felt like he was being cooked alive.


    Noel then shot out the Undying Phoenix topletely cover the demon in me. The energy from the phoenix truly cooked him alive.


    "Two more." Noel turned around, seeing the demons start to be afraid of him. They realized that they were not Noel''s match and tried to escape.


    Noel sent forth the Undying Fire Feathers on the sides, causing them to get closer to each other.


    After that, Noel formed an Ice Vortex to swallow both of them. Since the vortex''s speed was faster than theirs, the demons had no choice but to stop and destroy it.


    As expected of the Peak Level Demons, they crushed the vortex bybining their power, but their action allowed Noel to reach their position.


    Ignition Sword.


    Noel struck one of the demons, using the ability to create an explosion upon impact.


    The demon managed to block it with its w, but the st charred its entire arm. Noel took this opportunity to cut down the fifth Peak Level Demon, allowing him toplete his mission.


    As for the sixth one, he used the Ice Mirror to form multiple ice blocks around the demon, blocking its escape route. The demon had no choice but to charge at him, but Noel sent forth his Undying Phoenix to settle the fight.


    In the end, the demon was burnedpletely.


    "Huu…" Noel let out a breath of relief after he fulfilled his role. He looked at these demons and said, "I could somehow kill six Peak Level Demons because I didn''t let them get used to my power. But this strategy cost me two things.


    "I spent a lot of Spiritual Energy just to keep releasing all those powerful abilities. At the same time, I had to choose which abilities were perfect and memorize what I had done in the fight so that I didn''t attack them with the same ability or elements. It took a toll on my Spiritual Energy and mind."


    Noel knew that this was what he could do the moment he decided to reveal his identity. And that time wouldn''t be too long either. Unfortunately, he had to endure it for the time being.


    "I''m done for now." Noel checked his reward.


    Medal: Elite


    Effect: Sword Mastery +5%, Spiritual Energy +5%, Rune Mastery +5%


    The reward was simple, but it was extremely useful. At the same time, he also received an influx of knowledge about the Union of Sword and the Spiritual Step.


    He couldn''t help but say, "With this, we''re ready to face the hermit."
