A Demon's Journey

Chapter 526 Noah Vs Laura



The smile on their faces vanished. Noah was the first one to react as he instantly latched onto Azaroth, "Please don\'t leave me, Master! I am really strong. I…I am a 5 Star Warrior. I will definitely not hold you back!"

Ralph looked rather sad as well, and the same could be said about Sargan. Meanwhile, Yrellea, Laura, and Tiana appeared to be extremely distraught as their complexion turned pale! They never imagined it was something like this.

Surprisingly, the only one who remained calm at this moment was William.

Azaroth slowly caressed Noah\'s head to calm him, "Shh… It\'s okay. Everything will be okay." At the least, Noah stopped shaking, but he continued to hug Azaroth tightly.

Azaroth was slightly thrilled to see Noah becoming so close to him. Noah would rather go against the world than betray him, he knew. This was the extent of his devotion.

The same was true for his other retainers. Because of Azaroth, their lives were changed forever. They could never betray Azaroth, even if they discovered that he was only employing them because of their extraordinary abilities. This was how much they loved him.

He then stared at his other retainers, "The missions you received are the paths you should take if you want to help me. You all stayed in the Glerian Kingdom and created your respective factions under my protection. This was all a trial for you. I wanted to know whether you could handle the real world without my protection."

"In a sense, I have always been preparing you all for this path. And I now believe that you are ready!" Azaroth spoke proudly.

He paused for a short moment before adding, "Since this will be a long break, I will inform you of my secret."

"I am a reincarnated Demon God who lived during the Ancient Era. Through some coincidence, I managed to reincarnate in this era. Edwin was my previous body, and this is my true body," Azaroth spoke seriously.

His retainers listened carefully as they were rather curious about this information. All of them, other than Noah, had managed to guess that their Master was formerly a demon. And only Sargan had successfully guessed that his Master was a Demon God.

However, they were still incomparably shocked when they heard this from Azaroth\'s mouth! Actually, one of them wasn\'t shocked. It was Noah. He didn\'t care about the previous identity of Azaroth. To him, it mattered not whether Azaroth was a Demon God or not.

This made no difference to the fact that Azaroth was his dear Master.

"You will encounter great difficulties in your journeys ahead that you will think everything you have experienced until now as a joke. But do not give up. Stay connected through the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring. As long as you seven remain connected, no one can defeat you! Never let anyone figure out your true connection!"

His words caused everyone to unconsciously grow gloomier. Azaroth was preparing them for his absence, and they didn\'t like where this was going.

"I know you are getting sad because of this talk. But you should understand that it is necessary in case I lose. Our enemy is none other than the Radiant God and a Lesser Saint of unknown origins. And I want to be perfectly prepared to deal with them," Azaroth added with a slight smile.

All his retainers had a hopeful look upon hearing those words. They started praying in their hearts to allow Azaroth to win. They didn\'t want to lose him!

Azaroth helplessly shook his head with a smile as he thought \'Praying to let a demon god win? I don\'t think heaven will listen to that kind of prayer.\'

He then stared at Noah, "I need to talk to you alone, Noah. Since you will be the leader, you will have an extra task."

"Yes, Master!" Noah spoke. The two soon went some distance away, and Azaroth ensured that no one else could eavesdrop on them.

To do this, he laid out the Heavenly Concealing Array. He didn\'t want even heaven to know what he was talking about with Noah.

After an entire hour, the Heavenly Concealing Array was released, and Noah had a tearful expression as he hugged Azaroth.

"I will definitely obey your words, Master! I will never give up!" Noah spoke as he hugged Azaroth tightly.

Azaroth softly glanced at Noah and caressed his head, "Shh… I know. That\'s why I assigned you this duty. You have the greatest talent and mental fortitude among them all. Never forget that I am already very proud of you!"

"…Yes, Master," Noah spoke slowly.

"Let\'s return. The others must be getting worried by now," Azaroth spoke with a smile.

They rejoined the group shortly after. The women surrounded Noah, attempting to persuade him to reveal his secret conversation with Azaroth. Laura had even attempted to eavesdrop on their talk by using the other trees around them, but she had failed due to the Heavenly Concealing Array.

Unfortunately for these women, Noah kept his mouth shut. He wasn\'t going to disobey his Master\'s order to keep that conversation a secret.

A few seconds later, he became annoyed and glared at everyone before declaring coldly, "The next time you open your mouth to pose this question, I will reply with my sword. Don\'t expect mercy from me."

His declaration shocked and terrified the three women. They gritted their teeth upon hearing that declaration.

Laura clenched her fist as Wood Ardor began to leak out of her body. She spoke, "Is that so? Do you think that threat scares me? Come. Let\'s see who is stronger. I did want to fight you!"

Tiana and Yrellea were relatively calmer as they remained silent.

Noah deepened his glare at Laura and pulled out his sword, "Very well. It\'s time I make you all realize the difference in our abilities."

Sharp and deadly Sword Qi was unleashed from his body as Noah unsheathed his sword. His sword was filled with scratches and was chipped all over, but it gave a menacing feeling to Laura.

Azaroth and his other retainers noticed this conflict, but no one stepped forward. This battle was necessary for Noah to consolidate his position as the leader of this group.

"Keep your eyes on this battle," He advised his other retainers. They would sooner or later begin gaining insight into the law. This was the best method for them to advance to the 6 Star Rank.

Noah\'s Sword Qi would allow them to understand just how powerful a law truly was. Even Azaroth was somewhat curious about Noah and Laura\'s accomplishments.

Laura began the battle by launching dozens of wooden vines at Noah. However, those wooden vines were cut apart into pieces before they could touch Noah\'s body. It didn\'t seem as though Noah had even moved his sword.

This was purely accomplished by his Sword Qi.

"Hmph. Looks like you did become a bit stronger. But so did I!" Laura didn\'t appear impressed by Noah\'s Sword Qi as she released more of her Wood Ardor.

"Wood Dragon!" The Wood took the shape of a Dragon that had a ferocious appearance. It had a long body that coiled around Laura and protected her.

However, Laura didn\'t stop at conjuring a single Wood Dragon. She created three more Wood Dragons and launched them at Noah. These Wood Dragons contained enough Nature Ardor that even Noah\'s Sword Qi couldn\'t destroy them easily.

Meanwhile, Noah had a calm appearance as he moved along with his sword. He raised his sword while whispering gently, "Instant Blade

!"

Noah dashed towards Laura at a quick speed while his right hand was moving like lightning. His right hand couldn\'t be seen.

Laura couldn\'t even see just how many times Noah struck her Wood Dragon, but she guessed it was more than a hundred times in that split second!

She couldn\'t understand how he could accomplish such a feat!

Before the Wood Dragon could fall apart, Noah had already moved to the next Wood Dragon and cut it apart into tiny pieces! The Sword Qi released from his sword pierced the Wood Dragon completely!

It didn\'t take long for Noah to destroy all her Wood Dragons and continue charging toward Laura.

Laura immediately jumped back while launching hundreds of vines at him from all directions. Unfortunately, Noah used another technique, "Revolving Blade!"

Noah released the sword from his right hand by spinning it at high speed. This blade revolved around Noah while spinning quickly. It shredded all the wooden vines that attempted to strike Noah.

Even Azaroth was slightly impressed upon seeing this technique.

After the blade lost all its power, Noah recalled it to his hand using his Sword Qi. He noticed Laura was getting back to gain some more distance between them. She probably wanted to launch a large technique.

Noah was eager to get this over with. So, he poured all of his Wind Ardor and Sword Qi through his feet and pushed as hard as he could against the ground to gain a significant speed boost.

It was extremely beneficial as Laura hadn\'t expected Noah to gain such a significant speed boost. He instantly crossed the massive gap between them.

In her nervousness, Laura quickly formed a protective wooden dome to protect her body and stop Noah for a brief second.

Noah effortlessly shredded that dome by using the Instant Blade technique. His blade soon approached Laura\'s throat. He reduced his speed to stop his blade as he didn\'t want to kill her. He just wanted to cause a small cut on her throat, but he was surprised to see his blade phase through Laura\'s throat.

Instantly, he understood what was going on. This was Laura\'s Bloodline Technique. She could make her body intangible according to the element around her. Currently, she chose the wind element.

Noah phased through her body, and right then, Laura solidified her body to attack Noah. This time, her hand was covered with thick Wood as she attempted to pierce Noah\'s stomach.

However, Noah had anticipated this and immediately launched the Revolving Blade technique!

Noah\'s sword slightly grazed Laura\'s throat from the side before she could even touch his body.

Noah\'s cold voice resounded in Laura\'s ears, "Satisfied now?"
