"Nice."
Noel and Anna smiled at each other before a roar disrupted them.
The Advanced Level Demons who had some distance from the water managed to come closer, forcing the two of them to run.
While running, Noel actually felt the difference between a Spirit Practitioner and a Spirit Wielder.
He had known the difference earlier, but this was the first time he fought as a Spirit Wielder.
'So, this is Spirit Wielder. When I used my Freezing Crystal, I felt like I could summon the snowflake in two ways. The first way is to release a normal but continuous burst like earlier. The second way is an explosion that gives twice the strength.
'The same as the Sword Fall. I can concentrate my Magic Power into the swords, making them even heavier and stronger.
'It seems that Anna has been fighting in this realm this whole time. No wonder I was losing this whole time.' Noel never expected that they could kill a few Advanced Level Demons this easily. Even those Low Level Demons weren't a match for them.
If Noel wanted it, he might be able to kill a few of them with Freezing Crystal.
'I see. Have I been underestimating myself this whole time? Or do I become complacent for thinking this way? No, I should be more bold and confident but don't forget to be careful.'
Noel took a deep breath to rethink his strategy. It was clear that they had a chance of winning against these demons as long as they could keep fighting this way.
However, Noel also thought about a certain mission.
[Description: To prove your might, one has to fight a few enemies of the same level. Defeat three Advanced Level Demons by yourself in a single battle.]
[Reward: Flame Conjuring Ability and Newbie Medal.]
'Three Advanced Level Demons by myself while fighting these demons… Should I go for it? No, wait. There is a possibility that there are more demons in that mountain, since the Thunderbird that notified those demons didn't chase after us. Since I can get a safer option, why don't I do it like that? I can't become overconfident.'
Noel took a deep breath before saying, "Anna. Change of plan. We're going to kill all these demons here. Follow my instruction."
"Got it." Anna nodded with a serious expression. She glanced at the demons again and realized that all Mid Level Demons had managed to get out of the collision and Low Level Demons began to do the same.
There were still at least seven Advanced Level Demons, twenty Mid Level Demons and one hundred Low Level Demons. So, they had to be fast before those Low Level Demons and Mid Level Demons joined the chase.
"Duplication Rune and Jump!" Noel commanded.
Anna raised her hand and created the Duplication Rune before jumping like Noel. Surprisingly, when they landed on the ground, they slid on the ground.
"!!!" Anna looked down and found ice spreading underneath their feet, allowing them to maintain their current momentum while focusing on those demons.
Anna hurriedly pointed the Duplication Rune on those demons while Noel released his Freezing Crystal instead of Sword Fall.
"Are you serious?" Anna clicked her tongue as she felt her Spiritual Energy draining as soon as the snowflake was duplicated. "Hey, I have to spend my own Spiritual Energy to duplicate them, you know!"
"I know." Noel nodded. He had the knowledge about the runes, but never learned it because he was lacking in Spiritual Energy Reserve. So, he only knew about the weakness of that rune and took advantage of Anna's huge amount of Spiritual Energy.
Eight Freezing Crystals flew toward the Advanced Level Demons.
The viper was dumbfounded because his breath could only stop one.
It ended up hitting the middle one with his breath while the rest had to take care of the rest.
All Advanced Level Demons released all of their power to hit the snowflakes from the distance, but one of them had to fight an extra snowflake.
Unfortunately, Noel's Freezing Crystal had become stronger due to him becoming a Spirit Wielder, so an Advanced Level Demon couldn't defeat one snowflake that easily, resulting in the extra snowflake to reach the demon's body and froze it.
*Boom!*
The snowflake burst out in unison, creating a white chilling mist that covered the entire battlefield. The wind soon blew the mist away, revealing a huge ice wall that separated the pair and the demons.
Taking advantage of this huge wall as their camouflage, Noel leaped to the wall to prepare for an ambush while Anna understood his intention and followed him.
They went to the left side of the wall as an Advanced Level Demon managed to loop around the wall to keep chasing them.
Unfortunately for the demon, it couldn't see its preys. Suddenly, the demon felt their presence coming from the side and turned its head around, only to see Noel and Anna right before his eyes.
Noel struck the demon's head with Ice Infusion, softening the skin. And Anna struck that frozen spot with her lightning sword, severing its neck.
"Next one!" Noel said while turning to the side, finding another Advanced Level Demon that just came out from behind the ice wall.
"Haha, let's go!" Anna was excited because they had managed to do a more exciting battle now that they had become a Spirit Wielder.
In the past, both of them were hailed as strongest experts in the kingdom, so Anna was slightly bored by her inability to reproduce her skills from the past.
But now that she had gained some power with Noel, she couldn't help but feel excited, anticipating the team fight that consisted of two strongest experts in the kingdom. She took glimpse of that sight in this battle.
With a smile on her face, Anna summoned a lightning dragon from her hand to attack the Advanced Level Demon.
It was surprised to find Anna and Noel on this side, so it didn't have time to react and ended up getting electrocuted by the lightning.
Its body was numb and stopped moving for a second. Noel took this chance to use two Emotions in his sword. He used Contempt to shame the penetrating force of his sword and struck the demon's eyes before changing the emotion into Anger to cleanly cut the demon's head from the inside, killing it.
"That's two. We have five more Advanced Level Demons and a bunch of other demons." Noel stated while assessing their situation.
But Anna excitedly said, "But we will do it, aren't we, Noel?"
Noel smiled. "Of course. Keep up with me."
