A Demon's Journey

The reinforcements brought by Ralph and Noah managed to slowly tip the scales in the Glerian Kingdom's favor.

David Valliadis completely dominated his battle against Ralph and Noah, but he couldn't kill them.

He was caught off-guard by their amazing teamwork and also because he was interrupted by one of the Heretical Paladins at a crucial moment.

David Valliadis couldn't release a truly big attack that covered a massive area since that would also harm his own soldiers. Thus, his hands were tied.

The Sinyalian Kingdom's army would suffer massive losses if things continued like this. The beasts were dominating their battle against the Sinyalian Kingdom's soldiers.

The ferociousness of these beasts was something these soldiers couldn't handle. It dampened their morale and prevented them from resisting properly.

Flame Wings suddenly opened on David Valliadis's back, and he flew in the beasts' direction. The beasts sensed the Phoenix Bloodline in David Valliadis's blood and experienced a strong suppression!

However, Ralph appeared quickly and resisted the Phoenix Bloodline's suppressive effect. Fortunately, David Valliadis's Phoenix Bloodline wasn't too pure, or else it would have been impossible for Ralph to resist this Bloodline Pressure merely by using a trace of Ancient Tiger's Bloodline!

"Continue attacking the humans in red armor! Slaughter as many as you can!" Ralph shouted his command.

The beasts let out loud howls of acknowledgment. David snorted in response, "Coming here was a blunder!"

Vermillion Flames burned in his right hand as he sprayed them in the beasts' direction. Ralph soon understood what David meant.

Here, David didn't need to hold back the power of his attacks. His subordinates would be safe even if he released a strong attack!

Biting his lips in frustration, Ralph used his Bloodline Skill to immediately evade this attack. This was one of the core skills of his mutated bloodline. Seven Steps of the Tiger!

Meanwhile, the beasts in that location suffered from massive burns as those vermillion flames struck them.

The flames were so potent and hot that these beasts soon died. Even their very traces were annihilated by these vermillion flames.

Only a few beasts that had already pierced deep into the Sinyalian Kingdom's formation remained. However, David judged that his soldiers could handle these remaining beasts.

He believed it was more important to deal with Ralph and Noah.

At this moment, Noah had released his Sword Qi and slaughtered all the Sinyalian Kingdom's soldiers in his way!

His Sword Qi was invisible and so potent that not just any soldier could block it!

Before David could move or attack other Glerian Kingdom's soldiers, Ralph suddenly launched another claw attack from his blind spot.

Once again, David was caught completely off-guard by Ralph's first attack but managed to react to Ralph's second attack.

Ralph had tried to punch David's gut, but he failed!

David easily caught Ralph's punch and suddenly threw him to the ground. Ralph coughed out some blood as he was thrown towards the ground with incredible force.

Before he could even get up, David was already standing next to him with a stern look on his face, "Burn!"

Vermillion Flames shot out of David's palm as they assaulted Ralph. However, Ralph didn't seem scared of these flames. In fact, one of his fangs grew longer as an unbelievable aura emanated from his body.

This was the true appearance of the Sabertooth Tiger's Tooth!

David experienced a great suppression from this Sabertooth Tiger's Bloodline Pressure, but he remained unmoved. The flames that could have obliterated Ralph into nothingness only grazed him.

Furthermore, Ralph turned his head at this precise moment and hurled himself at David!

David sneered in response and strongly kicked Ralph's gut. David's kick was reinforced with his Gold Ardor.

His kick was so strong that Ralph felt a shockwave in his entire body. His stomach had burst apart along with a couple more of his crucial organs!

However, Ralph couldn't focus on his injuries since he was sent flying by that kick!

David raised his arm and planned to end Ralph with his next attack. He used Golden Solar Fingers – Two Finger Mode.

This time, the two fingers released purely Golden Beam that was filled with Gold Ardor. Ralph's Sabertooth Tiger's Aura couldn't suppress it or block it.

And fortunately, just before he was struck by that aura, a random sword struck Ralph's body and threw him out of the way! Thus, he managed to dodge David's attack successfully!

David didn't even need to turn his head to know just who threw that sword. It was none other than Noah!

Noah spoke seriously, "Leave him alone. I will fight you!"

David moved at that moment and entered Noah's Sword Domain! The Sword had already returned to Noah's hands, and he attacked David's fists with his best sword techniques.

However, the results weren't very good for Noah!

David's fists seemed to possess unreal power in them as they actually created a crack in Noah's sword!

Noah seemed to have become livid when he noticed that crack on his sword. It was as if someone had harmed his beloved.

David was slightly surprised when Noah's power began to rise!

'…This kid is using me a whetstone to advance to the 5 Star Rank, huh?' David instantly understood Noah's aim and truly respected him as an opponent.

However, there was no mercy in war! Before Noah could advance to the 5 Star Rank, David suddenly punched Noah's stomach with his fist infused with pure Gold Ardor!

His punch was so strong that nearly every bone in Noah's body endured a terrifying shockwave. And unlike Ralph, Noah's body wasn't very strong to endure David's punch.

However, even as blood dripped from his mouth, Noah held onto his sword tightly and used his Heaven Rending Slash on David!

Unfortunately, Noah's speed was far too slow for him to truly strike David with this attack. Before Noah could finish his attack, David punched Noah once again. The force was so great that Noah's bones let out a crackling sound once again.

David was about to strike him again, but he suddenly experienced a sharp pain in his shoulder. He then realized that Ralph had come to attack him. Moreover, Ralph was actually biting his shoulder!

'How come I can't detect his first attack? This has happened three times in a row now!' David was truly a bit startled. He raised his hand and held Ralph by his hair before pulling him away from his shoulder.

It was only natural that he couldn't detect Ralph's presence because that was used along with an Ancient Tiger's Bloodline Skill. The Silent Steps of a Tiger.

The bite had managed to reach deep into David's left shoulder. It would prevent him from moving his left arm now.

David threw Ralph away and launched Golden Solar Fingers – 5 Fingers Mode at him. This was bound to finish him up!

However, just when he was about to launch his attack, a bolt of black lightning suddenly struck him! At such a moment, David launched his Golden Solar Fingers attack, but it completely missed Ralph!

This Black Lightning was instantly identified by Noah, and he knew it belonged to Sargan! Sargan assaulted David in order to allow Noah time to flee.
