A Demon's Journey

The next day, Noah asked his subordinates to spar against the newly recruited warriors.

This was a spar, so they were using blunt weapons. They didn't want to severely injure each other.

Naturally, Noah's subordinates won the spars effortlessly.

Noah witnessed their battles and personally advised each one of them. The newly recruited warriors didn't understand this advice's true value and ignored it because of Noah's young age.

However, Noah's subordinates from before kept his advice in mind and planned to work accordingly.

Noah and all his subordinates roamed around, looking for another group. From these newly recruited warriors, he realized why these warriors could ambush him and his group.

They were staying at a single spot for too long. Moreover, they shouldn't have lit up a campfire for so long.

Noah should have packed food that could be stored for a long time and eaten raw.

Azaroth hadn't mentioned anything regarding this. He wanted Noah to realize this on his own.

This Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament was a kind of Noah's smelting ground.

Noah was going to realize most of the issues relating to commanding men and correct them here.

Noah's crew soon arrived at the huge pond. This pond was totally full of water. The water was so transparent that Noah could see his image in it.

This was the same pond that his enemy had found earlier.

Noah and his companions drank and even filled their containers with water from this pond.

Soon, Noah noticed 3 deers on the other side of the pond. They were the rare Twelve Horned Deers.

Their meat was considered very healthy and tasty. Noah immediately decided to hunt them.

However, just three deers couldn't be considered a lot for a group of 80 warriors. They had to find more.

"You two, follow those deers and find out if there is a group of them nearly or not. Immediately return after you find their location. Do not engage them!" Noah ordered with an emotionless tone.

"Alright," One of the two warriors shouted before he moved ahead to follow that order.

The three deers didn't notice these two warriors. After drinking water, they ran back into the forest.

The two warriors secretly followed these deers. And soon, they came across a huge herd of these deers.

They numbered nearly 30 or so. However, this wasn't what shocked these two warriors.

There were three gigantic deers in this group. Their height seemed to surpass 20 meters. Their Twelve Horns were nearly 10 meters or so in length.

"We need to inform master about it immediately!" The two warriors ran away quietly.

The three gigantic deers snapped their eyes open and stared in that direction. The horns of one of these three deers illuminated with white light.

Two beams of pure white light were shot out, targeting both the warriors.

Those two beams struck these two warriors. Those beams even pierced their bodies, but they endured it and ran.

Noah and his group could see them now.

Once Noah noticed that they were injured, he immediately moved. He was using Phantom Step to run on the water in the pond while approaching those two subordinates.

Meanwhile Noah's entire group remained behind, somewhat shocked as they saw a herd of deers appearing in their vision.

All of Noah's old subordinates moved towards those deers. They were very confident in fighting and even fighting against this herd.

Meanwhile, Noah's newly recruited warriors were slow to react. They were observing whether it would be okay to engage this herd or not. And their cognitive mind was telling that it wouldn't be a good idea.

However, when they noticed their other comrades rushing towards this deer herd, they were forced to follow them.

Noah released multiple sword qi to strike the large deers. His sword Qi wasn't strong enough to pierce their bodies, but it did push them back.

They were the closest to those injured warriors. To protect those injured warriors, those deers had to be pushed back.

By the time these three deers regained their footing, Noah stood in front of his injured subordinates.

"That was a job well done. Now leave this to me." Noah whispered while pulling out his sword.

He clenched his sword tightly while rushing towards the three deers.

One of the deers rushed towards Noah, lowering his head and planning to hit Noah with his large horns.

Those horns were illuminating with a metallic white light. Noah immediately brandished his sword and struck those horns.

Sparks emitted as the two clashed against each other.

However, Noah infused his sword with his Sword Qi and made it much stronger and sharper.

The horns that emitted a metallic white light failed to resist any longer. They had begun to crack…

The deer immediately let out a resounding cry as it felt unbearable pain. The other deers heard that cry and were startled.

They hatefully glared in Noah's direction and immediately rushed towards him. This was a stampede! It was a unique skill of the entire herd.

It prevented the opponent from moving from his spot. All the opponents had to remain at their spots and take on this attack head-on.

A warrior at the same level as these beasts' leader couldn't resist this attack. The warrior would be crushed underneath the feet of dozens of deers.

Unfortunately for these deers, they failed to realize that they were overestimating themselves.

Noah's abilities were far beyond them!

He pushed back the deer and then raised his sword while whispering, "Rapid Slice."

He then moved forwards immediately before repeatedly slicing the large deer ahead of him.

Out of the twelve horns, Noah sliced off seven of them! The deer experienced excruciating pain and let out a painful cry!

Noah ignored the deer and then focused on the other deers that were approaching him while using that stampede.

The stampede's effect of forcing him to remain at his spot was working. The stampede wasn't using some sort of aura to force Noah to remain at his spot.

This aura wouldn't have worked. In reality, it was the vibrations through the ground. Those vibrations were rather strange, and this was the first time Noah had been struck with such an ability, so he was lost on how to deal with it.

Even though Noah didn't know how to deal with this stampede ability's immobilization effect, he wasn't afraid of facing these deers.

"Fleeting Cresent Slash - Triple Slashes!"

This triple slash was actually the combination of the Fleeting Cresent Slash's Horizontal, Vertical, and Diagonal Slashes!

At the same moment, all of these slashes were released! Because Noah's feet could not move away from the spot, the attack could not be deemed Noah's full force. It did, however, have enough strength to murder many deers along its path!

Using the stampede, pure energy covered the deers as they rushed towards Noah.

That pure energy clashed against the Fleeting Cresent Slash attack from Noah. The entire stampede was halted for a second because that energy couldn't push back Noah's attack.

The deers used more of their energy, but Noah didn't stay still as well. He used Fleeting Cresent Slash – Diagonal Slash!

This Diagonal Slash further empowered those Triple Slashes from earlier. The Energy gathered by the herd of deers using the Stampede attack immediately broke.

And soon, what Noah and his subordinates witnessed was a bloodbath of these herd of deers!
