"Attack!"

The first one to make the move was none other than Qiel. Instead of the demons around her, a huge water ball flew out of the ditch, trying to hit Noel.

At the same time, numerous water demons emerged from the ditch and released their attacks.

It wasn't just Noel's area. About a thousand water demons emerged at the same time, completely surrounding the entire city. They all tried to strike the walls before them whether it was the brick wall or the Saintess's barrier.

"My lord!" The soldiers didn't expect them to launch a sneak attack.

However, a bolt of lightning pierced this water ball and caused it to explode.

Qiel frowned, looking at Anna Stargaze. "Does the Dimitri have a healer? It looks like they have recovered completely. Either way, we've made preparations with the a.s.sumption we're fighting all of you in full strength, so…"

Qiel suddenly stopped when Anna waved her hand down, sending another lightning bolt to hit the water.

The lightning hit the surface of the water and electrocuted all the demons on the water's surface.

Still, the city was quite big. Even when she spread the lightning, she couldn't electrocute everyone. The most she could do was kill the demons on the north wall.

'I have expected this, so we'll take the liberty of taking you down with this.' Qiel raised her hand, signaling the water demons from other tips to destroy the barriers. Since these star-shaped walls had five tips, she believed that she could focus on these five tips first and cause them to crumble. Anna wouldn't be able to help them because Qiel was aiming her bow at her.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Tremble!*

*Tremble!*

"This is…" The people couldn't help but gasp. They couldn't see what was happening outside the wall, but the barrier was translucent. They could see numerous water demons, ranging from small fish to giant crocodiles, trying to crush the barrier.

"How are we meant to fight these demons?"

"Can we really do this?"

The people doubted the situation a bit. They couldn't stand on top of the city, so they could only watch in horror as they watched these demons attacking their barriers.

However, Noel had made an arrangement for the remaining four tips.

All of a sudden, the tip in the northwest generated spiritual energy. The people thought it came from the barrier or Noel's runes, but the demons could see a middle-aged man standing in front of them. He was a small puny man, but the spiritual energy emitted from his body couldn't help but make them afraid.

"You water demons have an advantage underwater, right? Sorry, but I do too. With a single lift of his finger, a giant whirlpool appeared. All the demons devoured by it ended up cras.h.i.+ng into each other.

Then, the snapping of his finger woke up the giant whirlpool. The water rose into the air and formed a giant humanoid body made of water. All the demons inside this body were crushed, and this humanoid body kept absorbing more and more water demons.

"If you want to break the barrier in this area, you have to defeat me, the Water Lord." The man smiled confidently. That was right. He had been invited by Noel and had been helping Noel even before the latter became a n.o.ble.

Finally, he took the last step to openly protect his territory. This meant that the Water Lord didn't mind if the people around them thought that he and Noel were allies.

Qiel glanced at the side and muttered, "As expected, that watery b.a.s.t.a.r.d is helping them. I guess he also wants to take revenge for what happened in his Silica Valley. We should have killed him back then." Qiel glanced to the other side. "If he is in that area, then that place will be protected by…"

As Qiel expected, the water fluctuated. The wave was high and even flowed out of the ditch.

"You fledgling fresh water demons. You don't know the true terror of those who inhabit the sea. They are far more terrifying than you guys. Come forth, my pals, it's time to hunt!"

All of a sudden, two giant sharks made of water emerged from the ditch, swallowing all these water demons. Once they were devoured, they were torn into pieces by the numerous teeth.

"So, that's the famous Duke Briton." Dimitri couldn't help but get curious about the so-called Duke Briton. Dimitri had heard Duke Briton's name before he even joined the Ardagan Family. With just two of those sharks, he actually cleared up all the water demons around his area.

Some of the stronger demons showed some resistance, but they would fall sooner or later.

Still, there were two more people that Noel had stationed in the other two tips.

The sky released a golden light that shone on one of the tips. A woman clad in armor stood while holding her sword up high.

"May you poor animals reincarnate in a world without a demon. Holy Smite."

The golden light shone brightly on the demons. Those, who were on the surface, had their bodies melted by this warm yet deadly ray.

Because of the Moon Temple's laws, Noel had chosen her to defend this position because he knew that the Supreme Devil Organization wouldn't harm her. At the same time, placing her here also restricted Qiel's plan involving this area.

She stood right behind the barrier, unfazed by the sight of the demons. "I, Paladin Aurelia, have been tasked with defending this position. And I shall guarantee that no demon shall pa.s.s me."

Now that three out of the remaining four tips had been revealed, it was time for the last tip to show its guardian.

She, too, had a light element spirit.

Just like Aurelia, a single wave of her hand summoned a ray of light from the sky. But unlike her, this ray of light shot out numerous white beams, raining down on all the demons. The demons tried to shoot them down, but there were simply too many light beams.

The light beams pierced through the demons and killed them.

"To think that I got this role instead of fighting on the north wall. Did I pull the shortest straw? Maybe not… Clara isn't that lucky either." Milfa stuck her tongue out playfully. She wanted to kill a Devil Saint, but it seemed that they were for Noel to take.

Still, just by making a single move, these four people managed to kill more than three hundred demons. They would be the ones stopping all the attacks directed at the barrier while thinning out the enemy's numbers.

Qiel couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "It seems that you have gotten some help."

"You haven't seen anything yet. Why don't you come to test my trump cards?" Noel smirked as he returned to the top of the wall.

"Hmph!" Qiel spread both arms, signaling the start of their all-

out attacks.

A series of roars echoed from all sides as thousands of demons started marching toward the city.

"Here they come!" Noel shouted. "Deploy the barrier!"

"Yes, Sir!" The normal people on the bottom of the wall began to bring in the demon crystals they had prepared beforehand. They all poured it into a giant rune inside a small room at the bottom of the wall.

This rune suddenly glowed brightly as though it were absorbing all the spiritual energy from the demon crystals.

All of a sudden, each wall formed a giant rune in front of them.

As expected, numerous demons unleashed their attacks from far away. Two of the Superior Demons even did the same to test the st.u.r.diness of this wall.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of explosions occurred, but all the attacks ended up hitting the giant Spiritual Barrier Rune. The barrage of attacks that contained more than a thousand demons' attacks as well as two Superior Demons was extremely powerful. Even the ground trembled due to the impact.

"Earthquake?"

"What is going on?"

"The walls are still standing."

"That's right. We've been preparing for this. There's no way we will be defeated easily!"

"Oi, hurry up and grab the dim demon crystals and replace them with new demon crystals!"

The people hurriedly moved according to their roles. The barriers were the most important since they were their primary defensive system.

However, those attacks were a simple cover fire until the demons reached the city.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

The demons rammed their bodies against the barriers and wall, trying to destroy it. Unfortunately, it was too st.u.r.dy for them.

"Go for it, pals." Duke Briton waved his hands. Numerous sharks leaped out of the water and devoured the incoming demons.

"Don't leave a single of them alive." The Water Lord controlled his elemental to sweep its giant arm and suck all the incoming demons. Since he was dealing with land demons, all he had to do was drown them, which wasn't a hard thing to do.

Aurelia, on the other hand, waited until the demons arrived and fell into the pits. After that, she released her attacks once more. In the end, the demons had to fill up the pit first with their bodies if they wanted to attack the barrier. So, before it filled up, she could easily kill all these demons.

Milfa was doing the same thing, but she also killed some demons outside the ditch to avoid filling up the ditch so soon.

As for the north wall, Noel had another mechanism he had prepared.

A few s.h.i.+ning rays suddenly flashed from the ground after the demons stepped on them.

"Huh?!" Qiel widened her eyes in shock. Unlike the others, she didn't know that this person would be helping the Ardagan Family.

The flas.h.i.+ng light only lasted for a second before a series of enormous explosions occurred, engulfing a lot of demons.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

"This power…" Laufey gasped. "Isn't he supposed to have no relation to the Ardagan Family?"

Qiel gritted her teeth. Those explosions alone actually killed more than five hundred demons. The gems underneath the soil were like land mines, ready to explode when the demons came. It could be said that the surrounding area had been planted with numerous gems.

Qiel glared at the north wall, trying to find the person. "Gem Lord! Do you think you will be able to escape our wrath?"

An old man walked to the front with his stick. He might look old, but anyone who knew him would understand how sly he was.

That was right. He was the other elder that Noel invited from the Tower a.s.sociation.

"Hyoho…I know very well how strong the Supreme Devil Organization is. However, your era has pa.s.sed."

"We have offered you the entire mine if we manage to destroy the Ardagan Family! How much did they pay you?"

"It's nothing much. Only twenty percent of the mine."

"Then, why?!"

"As I said earlier, your era has pa.s.sed. The persuasive power your organization has is far lower than his." The Gem Lord grinned while looking at them with a condescending gaze. "So, let me give you a piece of advice: just surrender now and accept that your names will be etched into history as the losers in this battle."

"You…" Qiel gritted her teeth and aimed her bow at him. The arrow was fast and mighty. It might even rival the power of the attacks that the two Superior Demons unleashed earlier.

However, another arrow appeared out of nowhere, clas.h.i.+ng with Qiel's arrow.

*Boom!*

Their crash caused another big explosion, but the arrow ultimately destroyed Qiel's arrow.

There was only one person who had this kind of power.

"Demon Barrier Squad's captain, Faust." Qiel looked to the side, finding Faust standing among them. "How… Aren't you supposed to be in a coma?"

After Alexander ambushed them, Igor retired, and Faust was in a coma. So, she never thought that Faust would be here.

Milfa couldn't help but look at the wall, remembering the letter that the commander gave. It wasn't that Faust was in a coma. He simply faked that condition for this one moment.

Faust harrumphed. "He helped my Demon Barrier Squad back then, so I'll help him today. Let me experience the power of the number one archer in the world, Qiel."
