Hailfa leaped forth, approaching Rose. However, Noel suddenly ca in her way, striking her dagger with a sword covered in black fla.
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
The clash lasted for four strikes as Hailfa was forced to retreat when she noticed sothing from the fla.
When she retreated, she took a glimpse of her dagger's condition. To her surprise, there was a slight dent on her dagger as though it was lting a mont ago.
She realized that the fla was so overbearing that it could lt sothing despite not releasing that much heat.
At the sa ti, the poison that covered the dagger had been completely burned. So, even if she attacked soone with these daggers, they wouldn't be poisoned.
It seed that she had underestimated them too much.
'I guess they should at least be this strong if they want to keep ruining our plan… Normally, a Vice Captain would have trouble dealing with just one Devil Bishop. Well, that demon pair is equal to a normal Devil Bishop, so splitting them is a good idea. Even a Vice Captain should be able to stop them… not defeat them though.'
'But more importantly, these six people are extrely good at their coordination. It feels like there is soone who is controlling their movent. It must be the one with illusion ability.'
'With how they are fighting , I should have no problem in killing them. But it will take a while since I have to wear down their stamina first, so their movent will beco sloppy.'
'I guess I will have to fight them for another two hours before I can do anything. That demon pair should probably need around that ti to defeat both Vice Captains. As for Sir Laufey, I don't know soone of that level, but there shouldn't be anyone that has the power to contend with Sir Laufey in this kingdom… At least, the ones with their identity known…'
Hailfa judged that the situation was a bit tricky. On the one hand, their victory was just a matter of ti. On the other hand, two to three hours would be extrely dangerous.
It was true that they could win, but they would be pretty exhausted as well. There was a high chance that these people would escape back to the wall. And if they were to choose another fort to attack, they would be exhausted and have little ti to recover before the reinforcent ca.
'In that case, I should take so risk. Sir will surely reward if I manage to capture Noel Ardagan, right? Besides, his fla can even burn my poison. Even if I poison him a little bit, he should be able to survive.'
Hailfa took a deep breath. A snake tattoo on her back suddenly shone and started expanding as though it was alive.
The snake tattoo started to appear around her arms as the poison density around her increased drastically.
"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock, feeling the change in the poison.
"Not good!" Noel hurriedly charged at her with his black fire, striking her. The fla also flared up as though it was trying to devour the poison emitting from her body. "I am going to be the vanguard. Be careful when attacking her! Her poison shouldn't work against ."
Hailfa smiled as she skillfully parried his attack with a dagger. And because Noel was a bit rushed, she managed to spin her body around and struck his left arm.
As expected of Noel, his basics were solid after Dimitri's lesson. That was why he managed to avoid it at the last second. Instead of a deep cut on his arm that might disable his arm, he was only left with a small graze.
But this was enough for Hailfa. In front of Noel, who could burn her poison easily, it ant she had to fight him with pure swordsmanship. Even though in pure strength, she was a little bit weaker than Paul, she was still a Spirit Grandmaster.
The more they fought, the more disadvantage Noel would get. And that strike was enough to prove it.
Hailfa smiled. She planned to create a distance from the rest of the people while weakening Noel this way. With this, she should be able to capture Noel within one hour.
Noel gritted his teeth in frustration. There was no way he wouldn't realize her intention. But the poison emitting from her body was truly too strong for Spirit Masters. If it was Paul or soone, the amount of their Spiritual Energy should be able to stop the poison from entering their body for so ti.
But in this group, only Noel, with his Undying Fire as well as Freezing Crystal could burn or freeze the poison in the air and the one in his body. That was why he had to take this job even if it ant he had to fight by himself.
*Cling!*
*Cling!*
*Cling!*
They traded a hundred blows within five minutes. The others could only look from the distance while trying to find a gap in the poison to strike Hailfa. Of course, they didn't go to others because if Noel was alone, Hailfa wouldn't hesitate to capture Noel and bring him away. That was why they had to remain in their position and helplessly watch Noel getting bullied.
Noel had used his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style, especially with Fear Emotion, to increase his speed. Even so, his opponent was a Spirit Grandmaster.
Her daggers gave another few wounds on his arms and feet. Though, the most worrying wound was on his waist.
Normally, it would be blocked by the armor he had underneath his clothes, but the position was right below that armor. It was quite deep as well, so the bleeding was quite big. At the sa ti, he couldn't use his Ice Ability to close the wound for a mont since it would give away his identity and elents.
So, he was pressing that wound with his left hand while blocking Hailfa with the other hand.
"Haa… Haa…" Noel panted a few tis, trying to catch so breath. The fight started to get hard for him. And the condition didn't seem to favor them. Noel had to form another plan while fighting her. Noel thought, 'Should I reveal my ice ability?'
