Chapter 1483: Three Strikes
Chapter 1483: Three Strikes
"I got you!" The supreme devil slashed Noel.
Noel strengthened his arm with the Rune Body, but the rune used was just a mid level rune. As a result, the supreme devil’s sword ran straight through his arm, reaching all the way to the upper arm.
The wound was quite deep, but he could still feel the power coming from his arm. He knew the muscle still survived.
"My lord!" The people were screaming, noticing Noel’s wound.
Noel simply smiled. "True Spirit Body!"
A burst of ice energy erupted, forcing the two to retreat.
"Looks like you are rushing, Noel Ardagan. Unfortunately, this is the place you are going to fall." Victor smirked. Even though he said he would kill him, Victor didn’t know whether he could take down Noel or not.
At most, he could heavily injure him, but no more. Besides, Noel was extremely cunning, so he might have another trick up his sleeve.
That was why he tried to rile up Noel so that he would make a rash decision.
However, there was no rashness on Noel’s face. Instead, he used his arm to spread another message. By raising the arm, he let everyone see the blood flowing from his arm.
"That’s not how the Ardagan family fights. The Ardagan family is a family that has survived for one thousand years. No matter how bad it looks, we will be reborn. The strength of our family lies in our tenacity.
"My warriors. Fight as if you were a beast. Show our enemies the tenacity of our family!"
At the end of his speech, Noel formed a huge rune. This was the Honor Bearer Rune. It was another advanced rune, but for support.
They could feel a surge of strength in their bodies. Despite his injuries, Noel was actually more worried about his soldiers than himself.
The soldiers couldn’t help but respond to that feeling.
"How could I call myself a warrior of the Ardagan family if a single scratch can take me down! Even if I die, I will at least drag one hundred of them with me!"
"Ardagan, Fight!"
"Kill!"
The people’s eyes turned bloodshot as they overwhelmed the demons. Thanks to Howard’s training, they had a solid foundation and high loyalty. The simple speech was all he needed to raise their morale.
However, this effect was definitely beyond what Noel originally expected. He couldn’t help but wonder how much morale Howard raised before coming to this battlefield.
"Good speech, but it’s useless if you’re dead!" Victor charged forward.
The supreme devil did the same thing from another direction. "A good Ardagan is a dead Ardagan."
Both of their eyes had turned black as they activated their Berserk power.
They swung their swords from opposite directions, forcing Noel to focus on one.
Noel, on the other hand, took a deep breath.
Three Purity Swords.
Divine Slash.
It was a sword technique he hadn’t used for a while, but it was his strongest sword technique.
The Three Purity Swords divided his strike into three. Each strike had the power of the Divine Slash, infused with his king path.
"!!!" Both the third prince and the supreme devil widened their eyes as they stopped in their tracks due to the overwhelming power of the Divine Slash.
"This is... Alexander..." Victor gritted his teeth. He definitely remembered this sword technique. It was the same sword technique Alexander used to split a mountain. Noel hadn’t been able to utilize its full power, but due to the king’s path, he was able to manifest 25% of its true power from the original 1% when he was a spirit transcendence.
Even though it was only 25%, he had a hard time stopping it, simply because he also hadn’t fully recovered all his power.
The supreme devil gritted his teeth and put all his energy into this single swing and broke the Divine Slash.
"Ha..." The supreme devil was glaring at Noel, his gaze filled with loathing and envy. This was a sword technique he was supposed to inherit, but the only person who had ever learned it was his brother-in-law, the Sword Saint.
Now, this sword technique was inherited by Noel. What he didn’t know was that this was a sword technique coming from Ardagan.
Meanwhile, Victor also poured some energy into breaking this sword technique. Still, their momentum had been stopped.
What they forgot was that Noel had sent three sword strikes. He used two against the two of them, so where was the last one?
The moment they realized it, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the side. It was the sound of the ancient demon they brought.
One of its feet was cut by the Divine Slash, causing it to stumble.
*Roar!*
"!!!" The supreme devil and the third prince widened their eyes. In fact, even the people Noel brought couldn’t believe it either. Noel didn’t plan to just fight these two, but he also planned to add the ancient demon into the list.
In the end, the ancient demon had been attacking him, creating an opportunity for these two. If he took it down first, he would have an easier time against them. Besides, the ancient demon was much weaker than these two, so he knew who he should target.
In fact, Tristan regained his composure almost right away as he shouted, "What are you doing? Fire!"
"!!!" The soldiers shuddered and snapped from their shock. They immediately poured the demon crystals into the rune and shot the falling ancient demon.
The ancient demon let out a roar as he also charged some energy into his lung before releasing a powerful beam. However, the airship had the initiative.
It overwhelmed the demon’s beam. The demon rolled its body, trying to avoid it. His nose and the front jaws got hit. Both were gone, causing the demon’s appearance to be more grotesque. However, with the front jaw holding the energy from his lungs, there was no way for the ancient demon to charge another beam again.
Noel smirked while saying, "Come. I’m still here. Kill me if you can."
