"It's not a beaver! It's a freaking FISH!"
Noel was taken aback because the one he faced was not a beaver, but a fish. He had heard about the report of a fish demon attacking the human from ti to ti, but he never thought that they would gather in this place.
'Now that I think about it, the fish usually swim downstream. But because of the dam, they can't continue to swim there. In that case, how many fish demons are there?' Noel thought while waving his sword.
Swift Strike.
As expected, the fish demon actually had the might of a Mid Level Demon. And with the addition of its montum as well as Noel's unpreparedness, the fish overwheld Noel with its strength.
"Kh!" Noel gritted his teeth, standing on his ground. Still, he was pushed back for at least ten ters back before the fish had used all his montum.
When the fish fell to the ground, it started flapping its body due to the lack of water. However, the fish didn't seem to be stopping.
Every ti it flapped, the fish was trying to go toward Noel to bite him.
'This is annoying.' Noel clicked his tongue and swung his sword upward.
Sword Fall.
A huge sword appeared on top of the fish, but the mont it fell, the fish had already flapped its body again, avoiding the sword.
"It's still too fast even on the ground. But the fish can't live on the ground, should I wait for a while?" Noel muttered before glancing at the hole, rembering there were two more fishes that attacked him earlier. "No. Let's end this as soon as possible."
"Let's see whether this guy is delicious or not." Noel smirked as the Spiritual Energy started gathering around his sword. Then, the Spiritual Energy sparked, enveloping the sword in fire.
Sword Fire.
This black fire could burn the fish bit by bit every ti he attacked, so eventually the fish would be cooked alive. He just hoped that no other fish demon ca out of the water to help this one.
Noel waved his sword toward the fish while the latter flapped its tail to repel the fire sword.
*Clang!*
"Heavy…" Noel frowned, feeling the intense force from the tail. After knowing that the fish wasn't as weak as he expected, Noel changed his approach again.
He saw that the tail reddened after getting scorched by the fire for a while, so Ardagan's fla was effective.
'Although I have expected this, but Ardagan's fla is indeed extraordinary.' Noel thought while leaping forth, approaching the fish again.
The latter flapped its body, kicking it to the air again. After that, it opened its mouth and tried to swallow Noel from above this ti.
Noel took a deep breath and cald his heart down. Instead of working up and jumping to the side out of panic, Noel cald down and took a few small steps to the left.
This way, he managed to avoid the fish without a single waste movent.
Before the fish flapped its body again to get away, Noel swung his sword and struck the fish's body.
The black fla started scorching its body, but it wouldn't be able to kill the demon easily. So, he applied one more skill from Ardagan.
"Ignition Sword."
The fla around his sword suddenly flared up and caused an explosion.
*Boom!*
"!!!" Noel covered his eyes with his arm, thinking he would be engulfed by the fla as well. But to his surprise, he didn't feel the heat coming from the sword.
Only the fish suffered from the explosion. Its side was scorched black. A portion of its body even burned to ashes, causing the blood to continuously flow out.
"The power… It's so strong." Noel was taken aback by the strength. He had never used this power before because whenever he used the Black Sword, he needed to use ice along with it since everyone knew that he was an Ice Spirit User.
However, the sword had beco white this ti and he had another identity. This way, he could freely use his fire.
"Oh, it seems this Spirit Ability is more useful than I thought." Noel smiled satisfied. He saw that the fish was in pain to the point it couldn't use that side of his body to kick his body to the air anymore. Thanks to it, the fish's movent beca extrely simple and predictable.
Noel didn't hesitate to approach the fish from the injured side and struck the fish.
ga Slash.
This ti, Noel strike sliced its head a bit, causing the fish to slow down. There was nothing the fish could do to avoid dying at this point.
When he was about to deliver the killing blow, two more fishes ca through the gap and jumped to him.
"!!!" Noel imdiately stopped his motion and turned around to face these two fishes.
These two fishes seed to be different from the one he defeated earlier. When these two fishes were flying in the air, they opened their mouth as blue light gradually shone from within.
Suddenly, a water twister ca out of their mouth and flew to Noel at a fast speed.
Although he had expected this from a Mid Level Demon, he was still surprised that they used it imdiately. From what he knew from hunting Mid Level Demons together with Anna previously, the Mid Level Demon's Spiritual Energy Capacity wasn't that huge. They could only attack him like this less than five tis.
With the addition of the usage of Spiritual Energy that they used to attack him at the first eting, they wouldn't have enough Spiritual Energy to launch another attack like this after they failed to attack him.
Still, the fish truly caught him off guard. Noel couldn't dodge this with his current movent. Hence, he raised his shield again while using his Four Points Circulation to boost his shield so that he had enough thrust to stop the force in the water twister.
*Bam!*
"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth as his hand beca numb just from receiving the impact.
As one would expect from a Mid Level Demon, even though their intelligence was low, they didn't act based on instinct like that of a Low Level Demon. The mont those two fishes managed to stop Noel in his track, the injured fish flew toward Noel and opened its mouth, trying to swallow him.
"I have fought multiple Mid Level Demons before, so I know it will be like this." Noel smirked while swinging his sword upward.
A sword appeared above the fish. The fish was in the air this ti, so it was impossible for it to dodge.
"Die."
Sword Fall.
