Noel took a deep breath, observing the movements of these demons.
The other demons had caught up and tried to surround Noel. However, Nicole and Anna had also reached Noel's position and struck them.
Nicole waved her hands, sending more than ten needles. The needles were small, yet, each needle could pierce through the defense of the demons. The energy within them erupted and created a hole in their bodies, ultimately killing the demons.
Meanwhile, Anna used her lightning to improve her speed. She skillfully maneuvered through these demons while slicing them one by one.
"We'll take care of the other demons. You can focus on defeating the Peak Level Demons.." Anna shouted with a serious expression.
Nicole couldn't say anything because she was too shocked. She didn't know Noel was this strong. It was no wonder he hid his power and identity. She didn't follow Noel's news, so she didn't know the masked man was Noel.
Nicole nodded to him, implying her intention. She then rushed forth, taking care of the other demons.
There was a reason why Noel wanted to kill Peak Level Demons by himself. It was none other than his mission.
The mission reward was the Union of Sword, Spiritual Step, and Elite Medal. Since the Elite Medal was the upgraded version of the Newbie Medal, it was clear how useful it would be for future use.
Meanwhile, the Spiritual Step and the Union of Sword were crucial for his future development. It was true that he had Split Step that allowed him to form a shadow that looked like him to avoid the enemies, but he had a feeling that from the name that this Split Step would give him a foundation of footwork. As for the Union of Sword, he knew it would be something great for his weapon.

With that thought in mind, Noel had no reason to hold back.
A pair of black wings appeared on his back. The Peak Level Demons wanted to help the other demons to stop Anna and Nicole, but Noel flapped his wings, sending forth multiple fire feathers.
The feathers exploded beside them, forcing them to focus on him.
Noel was glaring at the demons as if telling them they should fight him or they would die.
Three Peak Level Demons decided to come forward, trying to overwhelm him so that the others could attack Anna and Nicole.
Unfortunately for them, Noel had been preparing for this the whole time.
Ice Mirror.
A few ice blocks suddenly appeared all around Noel like that of a shield. With a single wave of his hand, the ice blocks started floating in front of him, blocking the demons' path.
Obviously, the demons had their pride as Peak Level Demons. They gathered their energy in their claws and smashed the Ice Mirrors.
Unfortunately for them, this was what Noel wanted them to do. What greeted him behind the Ice Mirrors were multiple abilities.
Noel attacked the right demon with his Ice Lotus, sending forth multiple ice petals to the demon. The left demon received multiple Fire Feathers that soon engulfed the demon with Undying Fire. Meanwhile, the middle demon was impaled by three giant Swords.
*Roar!*
The demons tried to stop Noel's abilities. The right demon swung its tail and struck all the ice petals, causing its tail to be covered with thick ice. However, he managed to save his life.
Meanwhile, the left demon got swallowed by the Undying Flame. It tried to fight back, but the demon had a hard time extinguishing it.
On the other hand, the last demon had a hard scale. Even the Sword Fall could only penetrate two centimeters of its flesh before stopping.
It was clear which one had to be targeted. Without hesitation, Noel jumped to the left demon and struck him with his sword.
*Roar!*
The demon was screaming in pain while doing his best to stop the blade. But Noel abruptly stopped, meeting the demon's paw head-on.
A rune appeared on Noel's upper arm as he ducked down, causing the paw to hit the rune. It was an Arm Guard Rune that allowed him to create artificial equipment with Spiritual Energy.
He used this Arm Guard to block the paw while twisting his body to slip past the demon's defense.
Noel cut the demon's hand at first before spinning his body and striking the demon from the side.
He even applied the Extension Rune so that his sword was long enough to cut the demon into two.
"Die." Noel snorted, slashing the demon. "That's one."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"!!!" The Peak Level Demons were shocked by Noel's prowess. They had underestimated Noel. No, it was because they underestimated him that Noel took one of them out in an instant.
The other two demons couldn't move because of Noel's previous attack. Hence, the three demons from the back chose to kill Noel first before helping the other demons.
The chicken was at the very front even though one of its wings had been sliced by Noel. He challenged Noel with his other wing.
Surprisingly, Noel didn't amplify his sword with his abilities and just took the wing head-on.
*Cling!*
The wing had turned into metal, so Noel couldn't cut it. Meanwhile, the other two demons approached him from both sides. This was what the demons wanted and… also what Noel needed.
The instant he saw this opportunity, Noel channeled his Ice Element into his blade.
Ice Infusion.
"!!!" The chicken was startled, but it was too late. The Ice Infusion had frozen his last wing.
Seeing this situation made the demons even more determined to kill Noel in this attack. The left side shot a beam at Noel while the other pounced on him.
Noel hurriedly spun to the left and used his Spirit Weaponry to touch the Spiritual Energy instead of cutting it. He then redirected the beam toward the demon approaching from the other side.
"!!!" The demon had to use his claw to block this beam, albeit the power pushed him back.
Seeing its friend getting attacked by his beam made the demon hurriedly stop. Noel took this opportunity to approach this demon and slice it.
"That's two."
