?978 All Out War (2)

The soldiers started losing their composure when the flying demons wreaked havoc on top of the wall.

Without hesitation, Qiel sent forth more demons to climb the wall while they were distracted.

"Look! More demons are coming." The soldiers were too busy to deal with the annoying flying demons that didn't actually go inside the city. If the flying demons wanted it, they could fly past the city wall and enter the city through the opening. In the end, Layla's barrier covered everything except for the northern wall.

So, it wouldn't be weird if these demons tried to attack the city. However, it seemed that Qiel prioritized the wall.

After realizing that the amphibian, who had a Superior Demon inside the city was unable to cause any harm to the inside, Qiel knew that there were still people, possibly grandmasters, inside the city. Hence, it wouldn't be wise to separate their strength even further.

Noel a.s.sessed the situation around him and couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. The flying demons were coming from above, messing with his soldiers. The controlled demons kept coming without caring about the wounds on their bodies.

Because of those flying demons, there wouldn't be enough soldiers that he could spare to handle the demons from below. If they started coming up, the wall would definitely fall.

Hence, Noel had to do something to avoid this outcome, even if it meant personally striking them back.

Noel took out a small pill from his pocket and swallowed it. His spiritual energy fluctuated once and surprisingly, the energy in the air began to gather around him.

This was the pill that Khalid had given him to recover his spiritual energy. Although he couldn't produce enough pills for everyone, he at least had some for their elite troops.

Noel squinted his eyes, looking at the flying demons, especially the Superior Demon who was supervising the rest of the flying demons from a distance.

"Andreas. The controlled demons… Do they have any weaknesses?" Noel asked.

"No. In fact, they will keep coming unless you destroy the flower on top of their heads and obviously kill the demons themselves."

"Alright. Can you handle the ape for now? And please ask the Gem Lord to attack the flying demons."

"But shouldn't they have more Superior Demons to use?"

"I have some arrangements."

"Got it." Andreas waved his hand before jumping off the wall.

The ape kicked the Gem Lord from the side, but he skillfully blocked it with his yellow-colored gem. It didn't explode, but the ape couldn't even push it back.

All of a sudden, Andreas appeared next to them, swinging his sword. "Severed Soul."

The ape and the Gem Lord felt a weird fluctuation of energy from his sword. The Gem Lord was surprised, but the ape suddenly fell to the ground as it could no longer feel its foot.

"You're back, young lad." The Gem Lord frowned.

"He wants you to take care of the flying demons since you can fly."

The Gem Lord glanced at the flying Superior Demon and thought the same thing as Andreas.

"Don't worry. He has made some arrangements," Andreas a.s.sured him.

Even though both of them didn't know what this arrangement was, from what Noel had shown so far, it should be pretty reliable. So, the Gem Lord didn't have an objection and hurriedly flew to the sky.

"Seven Star Gem." The Gem Lord tossed a white gem into the air before the color suddenly changed into that of a rainbow.

"!!!" The Superior Demon and Qiel were alarmed. The Superior Demon flapped its wings, expanding its spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Qiel hurriedly released an arrow to the Gem Lord, which ended up getting shut down by Faust.

"Tsk." Qiel gritted her teeth, looking at Faust. The latter even sent a few more arrows toward her, but unlike her arrow, she was deep within the demon ranks.

A few Peak Level Demons jumped into the air, stimulating the energy within their bodies to form a barrier.

When the arrow hit it, it let out a burst of energy, knocking those Peak Level Demons to the ground. However, the arrow still didn't reach Qiel.

If these demons were still here, Faust wouldn't be able to harm Qiel. The only thing he could do was strike down her arrow to protect the rest of the people.

And due to his help, the Gem Lord was able to finish filling up his gem with his spiritual energy.

This rainbow-colored gem released a blinding light. The spiritual energy from the flying Superior Demon blocked a portion of the light, but it failed to stop this radiating light.

The demons that got hit by the red light had their bodies convulse uncontrollably. Suddenly, blood started spilling out every orifice in their bodies, killing them.

The demons. .h.i.t by the yellow light had their eyes blinded and lost their balance, causing them to fall.

Other lights also harmed the demons in one way or another, allowing the Gem Lord to kill more than seventy demons with just a single move.

*Cry!*

The Superior Demon let out a loud cry before flying toward the Gem Lord. He was simply too dangerous to be left alive.

"Hoho… A mere bird dares to challenge me." The Gem Lord summoned multiple gems around his body, ready for a fight.

The flying demons had been distracted. Noel could finally release another of his cards. "Go!"

"Roger! Flying Squad." Felicia shouted.

"Ha!" The squad replied as they activated the runes on their armor. After the problem Felicia presented to Noel, the latter made some improvements to it.

The first would be the armor itself. It was a breastplate made of leather, but it still covered their entire upper body. Several straps were attached to the breastplate, connecting both arms and legs so that they could gain balance when flying. Last but not least, their shoes.

Yes, Noel actually put another rune on their shoes. If they had a hard time controlling the rune on the breastplate, they could use the rune on the shoes to propel them forward. This way, their upper body wouldn't be the only one moving while their lower body was just hanging in the air like Felicia did previously.

Due to this arrangement, the rune on the boots could actually increase their speed.

The flying squad finally flew into the sky for the first time without wings. They didn't even use a lot of their spiritual energy to lift their bodies.

Felicia looked at the incoming demons and said, "Remember. Our job is to destroy those controlled demons. Use everything you have to crush them!"

"Yes, Ma'am!"

Qiel was completely shocked to see people flying in the air. While it was not impossible, she had never seen anyone do it the way they did.

"Don't tell me…" Qiel gasped, recognizing their plan.

Suddenly, the flying squad dove down at high speed.

When they were about four meters above the ground, all of them took out something from their backpack before tossing it to the ground.

Several spheres fell on top of the charging demons. It was actually a demon crystal that had been covered with hides.

Noel had embedded a rune on it. So, right the moment they dropped to the ground, the demon crystals exploded.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The explosions crushed their bodies, especially their limbs. Even if they were controlled, they wouldn't be able to move if they couldn't utilize their limbs.

This was Noel's plan. Instead of killing them with that precise detail, he simply needed to immobilize them.

Hence, the rune embedded in it was none other than the Blast Rune.

"Go to the next one!"

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The flying squad wreaked havoc in the enemy's ranks, destroying the mobility that these demons had. At the same time, the Gem Lord was distracting the flying demons. Some of the demons also had to fight the soldiers on the wall, so the flying squad didn't have anyone to fight them.

"No!" Qiel realized what would happen if this continued. "Those flying people can't be left alive. All the flying demons disengage and kill them!"

The flying demons received Qiel's order, but the effect wasn't so drastic. The majority of the flying demons were occupied with their own enemies. So, only dozens of flying demons were able to come toward the flying squads.

"Five men, follow me. The rest will continue the bombardment." Felicia commanded.

"Yes, Ma'am!"

She split the squad. Instead of getting scared, they were planning to show them that their flying squad would rule the air from now on.

Some of the flying demons opened their mouths or flapped their wings to attack them. Meanwhile, Felicia and the rest of the men pointed their left palms toward them.

The moment they poured their spiritual energy, the Rain of Light rune embedded on the left glove was activated, shooting more than five hundred light beams toward them.

While the light beams would reach them or even hit their attacks, Felicia knew that it was impossible to stop every single attack. Hence, she ordered, "Activate your barrier!"

"Yes!" They poured their spiritual energy into their backpack. The backpack turned out to be equipped with not only the 'bombs,' but also the Spiritual Barrier Rune.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Several feathers and beams. .h.i.t their barrier, but none of them left a scratch. In addition, the Rain of Light rune had also thinned out their number.

In the end, the flying squads reached them practically unhurt.

"Engage them!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" The soldiers roared. They headed straight toward a flying demon and pointed the other glove. "Rune Blast!"

That was right. This was the last card that Noel had with the Flying Squads. The armor was used to fly, the boots were made to propel them, the left glove was to mow down their enemies, the backpack protected them with the barrier, and the right glove was to engage with melee when necessary. With all these runes, they were far better than the flying demons in the sky.

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

The flying demons got taken down one after another. The flying squad even increased their speed to overrun them and engage in a better position.

The soldiers couldn't help but cheer. They were soldiers like them. While they had cultivated their spiritual energy, it didn't change the fact that they were overwhelming.

However, there was no way Qiel would let this go.

"Captain Felicia!" One of them shouted, noticing a ray of light from the side.

"!!!" Felicia instinctively activated the Spiritual Barrier rune.

*Boom!*

"Captain!" The ray of light exploded, completely devouring her.

In the distance, there was a giant cat with a s.h.i.+ning tail. It was this cat that shot Felicia earlier.

The cat looked proud as though it was able to kill Felicia. However, all of a sudden, a giant lump of energy formed in the sky, coming crus.h.i.+ng down on the cat.

"!!!" The cat had to gather a huge amount of energy on its paw to slap this lump of ball. Their clash caused a huge burst of energy that pushed the cat back.

The cat was a Superior Demon, so it was shocked to find an attack that was able to push him back.

"Don't falter!" Felicia's voice resounded across the battlefield. When the wind blew away the smoke, it was revealed that the barrier that protected Felicia was still intact, even though there were cracks all over it.

At the same time, there was a staff in her hand. The eye of the staff was stuffed with a Peak Level demon crystal.

Felicia couldn't help but remember the time when Noel and Anna were about to draw runes on her.

"Felicia. We're going to draw five runes on your body. These runes can be activated by pouring energy. However, we're thinking that we should also give you a weapon since five runes aren't enough. The weapon will also contain some runes, which can be activated like this," Noel explained.

"I shall follow your arrangement, my lord."

The process wasn't that hard. After it was done, Noel brought out the staff that he and Roel had been working on. She instantly dropped to her knees while raising both hands.

"Felicia. From now on, you are…"

Felicia looked at the giant cat with a solemn look. "I might only be a Spirit Master, but I shall defeat you and show the world the power my lord has bestowed upon me, for I am the first Rune Magician."
