Chapter 449 Fighting A Spirit Master

The guy released his black-colored Spiritual Energy.

Both Noel and Anna raised their guards to the maximum, staring at this guy intensely. No matter what, he was still a Spirit Master. It wasn't someone they could defeat easily.

However, it was, by no means, an impossible opponent. Anna knew that this guy was a new Spirit Master, so his strength wasn't that good.

"Be careful, the enemy is a new Spirit Master. We have to make sure he doesn't cause a ruckus and—" Anna looked like she made a blunder because she was reminding the enemy to cause a ruckus.

And the guy from the Supreme Devil Organization was no fool. He instantly picked up what she had to do and turned around, heading straight to the town.

"Hahaha. You're a fool. I'm going to kill those people!" The guy shouted while laughing as he jumped down the building from a different direction, where Noel and Anna didn't stop him.

Noel glanced at this guy with a calm expression while Anna actually smiled. It felt like she wanted the guy to focus on the citizens instead of them.

After all, the moment he turned his back on them, Anna instantly released her Spiritual Energy around her foot. The lightning began to spark as she suddenly disappeared.

"!!!" The guy widened his eyes in shock and realized what Anna had planned earlier. He hurriedly turned around, but Anna was already right before him, slashing her sword.

The guy was too late to block it with his sword, so it tried to flinch so that his body could escape from that slash even if it was just a little.

Knowing it was impossible to block it, the guy decided to sacrifice his left hand.

By covering his left hand with Spiritual Energy, it could withstand Anna's sword for a split second. That split second was used to grab the blade and deflect it in another direction.

"Kh." The guy gritted his teeth because two of his fingers were cut.

However, Anna wasn't the only one who thought of that plan.

​ As expected of Noel, after seeing Anna's improvement, he knew she would use her fastest speed to take the enemy by surprise.

That was why Noel also jumped down. He might not be faster than Anna, but Noel had prepared a gift for them.

When he was falling, Noel pointed his sword at them. Anna couldn't help but feel dread whenever Noel planned to do something. After all, if she didn't move away, she would end up receiving the same attack.

So, right after she cut two fingers, she slashed to the side, using the force of the swing to push her away.

"!!!" The guy opened his eyes wide because Noel had concentrated his black flame at the tip of his sword. When Anna gave way to him, Noel released that black flame.

The black flame flew in a single line. But unlike Anna, who managed to catch him off guard with her speed, Noel's flame was relatively slow.

The guy had enough time to raise his blade and strike it. The black-colored Spiritual Energy had spread like a mouth as if devouring the black flame.

"As expected from a Spirit Wielder…" The guy regained his confidence when he saw Noel's black flame and was unable to do anything against his flame.

Unfortunately, this was where the black flame finally showed its might.

Ardagan's Undying Fire started to spread around the black energy, burning it down without mercy.

"!!!" The guy realized the black flame was even more terrifying than he thought and hurriedly pulled back his sword. However, the black flame had burned down all his Spiritual Energy and touched the sword.

In that instant, the black flame began to devour the blade. He could see that the blade was starting to melt at the tip. Yet, he was confused because he didn't feel any heat coming from the flame.

He only knew this flame was extremely dangerous.

He hurriedly suppressed it with Spiritual Energy. Although the flame began to waver, the flame also burned down a portion of that Spiritual Energy.

In other words, if he wanted to completely extinguish the flame, he had to exhaust a lot more Spiritual Energy than necessary.

He gritted his teeth. Although it was such a shame to use this much Spiritual Energy, he couldn't afford to lose his sword just yet.

After all, the two kids before him were far more monstrous than he originally thought.

"Kh." The guy glanced at his blade before turning to Noel and Anna, thinking, 'Since when are there two strong kids in this kingdom? Anna Stargaze might be the most talented person in the kingdom, but she is supposed to be only sixteen years old.

'Even if she is a Spirit Master, there's no way she has accumulated a lot of experience. And there is that guy, I don't know what face is behind that mask, but despite not having a lot of experience, he has an overwhelming black flame.

'The organization hasn't received the information about these two. No, wait. The Demon Relief Squad? Our people were exterminated when they tried to attack the Silica Valley because they ended up meeting the Demon Relief Squad there.

'Don't tell me… The reason why the Demon Relief Squad could achieve victory was due to this guy? But he was only a Spirit Master.

'Either way, this guy is bad news. I have to inform the organization about these two kids. We have to either recruit them or kill them.'

The guy had deemed that his agreement with the count wasn't necessary anymore. It was better to go back to inform the organization than die here.

Hence, the moment he reached the ground, the guy hurriedly turned around to escape.

It seemed Noel and Anna had already seen through his plan.

Before the guy could escape, a lightning dragon approached him from the left while a black flame wall stopped him from the right side.

Noel and Anna had blocked two sides as the two stood in the other two to make sure he didn't escape.
