975 Unleashing Their Cards (5)
"Go!" Felicia shouted.
A few men leaped off the wall, falling for several meters before releasing their spiritual energy. Their fall gradually slowed down before they ended up floating four meters above the ground.
Two of them immediately took out several balls and tossed them toward the beasts.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The balls caused a chain of explosions after one of the balls broke apart, killing a lot of demons.
Another pair moved toward Clara and tossed their explosive balls toward the crocodile.
The crocodile endured multiple explosions on its body. To their surprise, the explosions weren't enough to break the crocodile's defense. Only a bit of its scales cracked, but the rest of the crocodiles remained unscathed.
"Madam Clara. We will hold him back for a moment. Please seal the holes with your threads."
Clara nodded her head. When she looped around, the crocodile hurriedly whipped Clara with its tail, but Clara shot out a thick thread, attaching it to both the ground and the wall. As a result, the thread stopped the crocodile's tail, allowing Clara to leap over it and head straight to the hole.
The crocodile turned around, trying to stop Clara. However, another wave of explosions hit its face as the crocodile couldn't help but look at these annoying people hovering in the air.
"We'll be the ones fighting you." The two men grinned. This was the first time they fought a Superior Demon, especially since they were only Spirit Wielders. This kind of opportunity could be achieved by the flying squad. It was an honor to fight the Superior Demon at this stage, and they planned to do it even if it cost them their lives.
On the other hand, several demons had emerged from the hole and tried to stop Clara. Four of them flanked Clara from both sides.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
"Just shut up!" Clara took out a needle from her pocket and sewed their mouths. After that, a few threads emerged from the ground and wrapped their bodies, pinning them in their spots.
There were only three demons left, so Clara hurriedly shot out her thread to attack them. One of them went straight to the thread to block it with its body.
The demon was successful, but Clara's eyes flashed as she pulled the thread as hard as possible before swinging it to the left, tossing this demon to the one on its left.
The last demon tried to fight Clara, but more threads appeared and tied it up before the demon could do anything.
Now that she was right in front of the hole, Clara spread her finger, creating a cobweb that blocked the hole.
There was a demon trying to come out, but when it tried to push through, the web expanded and pulled the demon back into the hole.
Now that it had been sealed, the only thing she had to worry about was the other hole. But it seemed that Aerton had done a great job.
"Surround the demons!" Aerton commanded as the soldiers began to attack the demons from all directions.
However, the ones that stood out the most were the children.
"Attack!" Several kids emerged from the crowd.
Their opponent was a low level demon frog. The frog shot out its tongue at bullet speed, but the targeted kid skillfully jumped into the air. His movement was elegant and graceful as if he were doing an acrobatic front flip.
Meanwhile, the other kids spun their bodies while holding their swords. Two of them reached the tongue and cut it into two. Another pair reached the frog's body and cut down its legs. When the frog fell down, the last pair came from above and swiftly cut its neck, taking down the frog.
"We have to continue."
"We can't do it as swiftly as those two, but we can defeat the demons."
"Let's go."
The kids were pumped up because they could finally fight to help Noel. Even the soldiers were stunned by their performance. In just an instant, they killed a low level demon. Their movement was so beautiful that the soldiers were entranced as though they were watching a group of dancers.
However, the most shocking thing was the pair that led this group, Erica and Eric.
Before them was a mid level demon snake. The snake moved at a very high speed, trying to devour them. However, Eric and Erica leaped in the opposite direction. They spun their bodies while moving forward, using the centrifugal force to cut the snake's body multiple times.
Their movement was swift and precise, but the cut was actually located on the same spot as if they were moving at the same time with the same movement.
Within a second, there were ten cuts on the snake's body, enraging the snake. That was when both of them leaped back to the snake's head. When the snake turned around, both Eric and Erica beheaded the snake with a diagonal swing so that when they landed on the ground, it looked like they had waved their hands and bowed to the soldiers, thanking them for watching their performance.
"Oh…" The soldiers couldn't help but get entranced by their deadly dance.
Aerton couldn't help but smile, thinking, 'As expected of my lord. To think that the kids he brought here are this strong.'
"Hurry up and bring the dirt here."
"The pump too!"
"We have to plug the holes as quickly as possible."
Clara sneakily reached the hole and covered it with her web. She glanced at the kids and understood why Milfa took great care of them. Their talents were definitely extraordinary.
Still, she never thought that they were children from the slum, who were destined to live a miserable life. Without Noel, their futures were already decided. The women might end up becoming prostitutes; the men either became thugs, thieves, or beggars.
After meeting Noel, their fate changed as the sword dancer and the proud members of the Ardagan Family.
Clara smiled before going back to the Superior Demon.
Noel had told them that if there was any hole appearing in the city, they should plug it back by pumping the dirt inside. It was impossible normally, but the Rune Pump was different. The pump could be facing any direction, and its power was beyond that of a normal pump.
With this, the hole would soon be plugged and no more demons would appear.
"My lord. They have succeeded in taking over the holes and are about to fill them back with dirt," Grandell reported.
"Good." Noel smiled. With this, he could sit back and relax for a bit, believing that the battle could progress a bit more before they released more of their cards.
Qiel gritted her teeth after receiving the report stating that they had failed to infiltrate the city.
'Is the city impenetrable?' Qiel never thought that a city with an incomplete wall could be this sturdy. She couldn't imagine the future when Noel fully built his city and gained even more soldiers. It would be impossible to destroy this city unless they could bring out Ancient Demons and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of demons to attack the city.
"No. We can't let this continue. We have to find another way to break through their defense." Qiel looked around. On the east and west sides, the demons had begun to pile up. The south was also ready for her to utilize.
Hence, Qiel told two Superior Demons to pass her message.
They passed this message to the Superior Demons controlling the other sides.
Obviously, that movement couldn't escape Noel's eyes.
"It seems that they are trying to do something. Is there the third demon tree?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows. "While I can still monitor the east and west sides, I can't monitor everything in the south. I have placed both Milfa and Aurelia there because Milfa was extremely strong while they would think twice before fighting Aurelia due to her affiliation. But…"
Noel frowned, feeling something was off.
All of a sudden, he heard numerous cries coming from the sky.
"Hmm?!" Noel raised his head and saw numerous black dots in the sky.
"My lord… Those are…" Grandell gritted his teeth.
"Yeah. The flying demons. Their number is about one thousand." Noel might not be able to help the other sides after the deployment of these flying beasts. "Are our anti flying demon weapons ready yet?"
"Yes, Sir. I will inform the soldiers to activate them." Grandell confirmed.
"Tell Felicia that she might be going soon."
"Will our flying squad fight those demons? Although I know that Miss Felicia is strong, I don't think she and her squad are ready to fight these flying beasts."
"Of course not. Just tell them about it. I have an arrangement."
"Sir!" Grandell saluted before passing Noel's messages.
Noel couldn't help but smile. "It seems that you're planning to do something, Qiel. It seems that you haven't given up on achieving a complete victory."
Noel was perfectly aware that with the current situation, Qiel could simply utilize attrition warfare. This way, they could wear down Layla's barrier while preserving their numbers.
Once the barrier disappeared, they would launch an all out attack and completely crush the city.
However, Qiel didn't do any of that. Instead, she kept throwing one card after another as if she were trying to overwhelm him.
Still, Qiel had lost to him before. Although the possibility of her harboring a grudge was high, Qiel wouldn't be so foolish as to let her pride take over. She was definitely planning to do something big, fully utilizing the fact that Noel had to kill at least fifty thousand demons and several Superior Demons before the day was over. Only by doing this would Layla have enough room to maintain the barrier a bit longer.
"What are you planning?" Noel squinted his eyes.
