'Hu…' Noel took a deep breath because it was quite hard to breathe due to their position. It truly took a bit of effort to even breathe.
However, Noel could feel that the imnse pressure started moving away after two minutes standing still.
He felt a bit relieved but he wasn't foolish enough to drop his guard. He maintained his vigilance to make sure that they wouldn't be discovered.
Seeing how scared Anna was, it was clear that the demon was pretty powerful.
Even though Noel couldn't sense the pressure anymore, Anna didn't release him yet. Rembering that Anna managed to pick up his presence far before him, he knew that the demon had yet to leave that far.
Hence, they waited. Their position was perfect for Noel to sha Anna, but he didn't do anything to make sure that he didn't disturb her concentration.
Still, no matter how hard he tried to hide his desire, Noel's thoughts ran wild.
'If I disturb her right now, I can grab the attention of that whatever creature here. I don't know how strong Anna is, but she might die facing this demon.
'However, Anna is a mysterious evil woman. She should have so secrets that can allow her to escape as long as she abandons here. As for , I'll certainly die here. So, I can't disturb her no matter what.'
Yes, in the midst of this situation and position, Noel still thought about killing Anna. Fortunately, he realized that this plan didn't guarantee Anna's death, only his, so he abandoned it imdiately.
After what it felt like four hours, Anna finally opened her eyes while feeling relieved.
She dropped on her butts as Noel was also dragged to the ground.
"We're safe now." Anna let out a breath of relief before lowering her vision, finding Noel's face on her breast. "…"
Noel pointed at her hand as if asking her to release him.
"Ah…" Anna realized what she had done as her face slightly reddened from the embarrassnt. She hurriedly let him go while glaring at him.
"You did this, not ." Noel imdiately justified his position.
Anna's instinct wanted to slap him, but what she did was the exact opposite. She took a few deep breaths to calm her heart and said with an embarrassed face. "Yeah. Can you forget about it?"
"That's impossible. It has been burned into my mind."
"Can you be a bit more gentleman?" Anna sighed, feeling a headache. Instead of embarrassnt, she felt a bit angry.
"Well, I am a fallen noble, so I don't care about that anymore. But I guess I can do that as long as you explain to …" Noel glanced to the direction where the intense pressure went.
"What is the difference between Low Level Demon and Mid Level Demon?"
"Their abilities. The Mid Level Demon has a better physique, but more importantly, the biggest difference they have lies on their Spiritual Energy. The Mid Level Demon can utilize a bit of their Spiritual Energy."
"Exactly. However, the Mid Level Demon can't use their Spiritual Energy that easily. Their condition is similar to the you a few weeks ago when you can only apply your Spiritual Energy to one task, which is attacking." Anna nodded, confirming his statent.
"And that one is… an Advance Level Demon?"
"Yes. An Advance Level Demon can fully utilize their Spiritual Energy. They also have opened their wisdom, making them a hard opponent to fight. Even in the current , running away is the only option. Well, my skill is enough, but I don't have enough Spiritual Energy to fight them right now." Anna felt disappointed because she couldn't defeat the Advance Level Demon.
"I see. It seems that the Demon Banner Army wants us to reach a level similar to that demon before graduating to the real knight?" Noel contemplated for a mont.
"No. Their aim is just Mid Level Demon. However, the most talented people will surely surpass that target before graduation." Anna smirked as if she was stating she would be one of them.
"I see. Every year, the Demon Banner Army doesn't accept that many soldiers after all, but they sure create nurous elite soldiers." Noel nodded in understanding. "So, do you want to create a target?"
"A target?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.
"Yeah. Let's kill that Advance Level Demon in a few months."
"A few months, huh…" Anna calculated it a bit and said, "Three months?"
"Sounds good to . After this mission, we're going to train a bit more before heading outside this place. You and I will do one or two individual mission group missions each. The details can be discussed later like the place, the ti, and the mission."
"Sounds good. I'm not going to stay in this place for too long." Anna agreed with him. "How about killing the Advance Level Demon for a group mission after we return here?"
"Fair enough. We can discuss the details later." Noel nodded. "In that case, let's continue the hunt."
"Right." Anna glanced at the demon corpses they left behind earlier.
"Still, you sll good even though you are an evil witch."
"What? I've told you to forget that! I've explained the situation to you earlier!" Anna gritted her teeth.
"No, the agreent is just forgetting about your attempt of murder, not about your sll."
"Attempt of murder? It's you who are enjoying my body!"
"Do you think I'd enjoy that? I was about to be suffocated earlier." Noel denied her with a poker face as if he ant it.
Even though Noel looked far too young compared to her soul, she still had so confidence in her body and beauty. But this man truly frustrated her.
"How about I beat you up since I couldn't suffocate you?" Anna raised her fist with veins bulging out of her forehead.
"I'm going to scrap the crystals." Noel escaped in an instant, doing sothing that could stop Anna from bothering him.
Unbeknownst to them, the seal under the lake had gradually deteriorated.
The lines started shining dimly as the ground started to crack, resulting in the green lines beginning to disconnect to each other.
*Rumble!*
