A Demon's Journey

Chapter 280 - Aria's Group Vs Noah



As Aria was on the receiving end of Noah's combat intent, she felt that it even exceeded Wilfrid Bran's combat intent in terms of pressure and sharpness.

Moreover, Noah's words were spoken with confidence as if he dared her to deny his proposal.

His tone suggested that he was confident in absolutely destroying her and her group if she rejected his proposal.

"Heretical Paladins. I have never heard of your group. You are affiliated to which faction?" Aria asked while narrowing her eyes.

Her subordinates at her side immediately glared at Noah. They all released their combined aura, but it still barely allowed them to ignore Noah's combat intent.

Noah's expression turned colder as he responded, "You don't deserve to know. First, answer my question."

"…We aren't going to surrender to some no-name group. We will preserve our dignity and fight to our death!" Aria declared with an awe-inspiring tone.

Her subordinates immediately prepared to engage Noah and his group in combat. They were slightly scared because of Noah's overwhelmingly strong aura, but they couldn't back away at this point.

Noah replied, "Fight it is then."

Once he spoke those words, Noah and his comrades instantly rushed towards Aria.

Aria could no longer fight at her full potential. Her eyes could follow Noah's movements but her reactions were a lot slower.

She created a Snow Covering to guard her arm against Noah's attack that was imbued with Sword Qi.

Noah was surprised when his Sword Qi could actually not penetrate that Snow Covering.

'This Ice is strange. I need to use more power.'

Before Noah could utilize more power, the water in the pond suddenly launched multiple ice needles at him.

Noah used his invisible Sword Qi to destroy those Ice Needles.

By this time, another female warrior attacked Noah using an attack known as Lightning Pierce.

Her knife was covered with pure yellowish-colored Lightning, and she rushed forwards to strike Noah with it.

Noah knew that this attack was considerably stronger. He couldn't block it by using his Sword Qi alone.

He broke the lock and took a step back. While he was in mid-air, the female warrior smirked as she spoke, "Perfect. Lightning Pierce Beam!"

She thought that Noah couldn't dodge this attack now that he was in mid-air. He had no support to move his body, so her guess was fairly accurate.

However, she was underestimating Noah too much.

Noah didn't need support to move his body. He forcefully rotated his body in the opposite direction and clenched his sword tightly.

'Cross Slice!'

The sword in Noah's hands moved so quickly that the woman couldn't even follow his movements. Let alone her, even Aria's eyes couldn't follow Noah's movements.

The Lightning Pierce Beam that was heading towards Noah had been sliced apart. The female warrior soon felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

When she looked down, she saw a mark on her dress and her abdomen, which had been sliced by Noah's sword.

"Noo! Daisy!" Aria let out a concerned shout as she saw her comrade being sliced by Noah's sword.

Meanwhile, Noah's subordinates were suppressing Aria's subordinates.

There were actually more Aria's followers who remained by her side and hadn't begun to attack Noah yet.

In reality, they had been immobilized due to fear.

They didn't dare to move and even protect Aria from Noah at this point.

Now that they had witnessed one of their companions' bodies being severed by Noah, they were even more certain that fighting Noah would be a terrible idea.

However, they couldn't remain safe just because they didn't want to fight Noah. Noah noticed these warriors who remained immobilized. He felt it was the perfect opportunity to purge them. Thus Noah moved towards those five warriors with a calm expression while he raised his sword.

Since Aria couldn't move and protect them, she was utterly helpless as she watched Noah make a move against her other loyal followers.

She knew that if she didn't do anything, what happened to daisy would happen to her other followers as well.

"Ice Floor!"

She gathered all her energy to use this skill to freeze Noah's feet and prevent him from moving towards her loyal followers.

However, Noah had intuitively guessed that she was about to use such a technique. When he sensed even a faint flow of Ardor, he immediately jumped in mid-air and moved towards her disciples.

This time, in mid-air, he took a very strange stance.

"Heaven Rending Stance," Noah spoke as he prepared to kill all these warriors ahead of him.

Even if they resisted by using some sort of technique, it would be useless. Aria was sure about that.

This skill was slightly inferior to that other one in terms of swiftness, but it was a lot superior in power.

Even if the opponent knew that the warrior was using this skill, it would be difficult for him to counter it.

Aria clenched her fists in frustration as she shouted, "Wait!"

Noah and his subordinates, along with Aria's subordinates, glanced in her direction.

Noah soon landed on the ground, but he maintained the Heaven Rending Stance's Aura around him.

He could utilize this skill at any moment.

Aria clenched her teeth as her pink lips soon uttered, "I surrender!" She pulled out her commanding badge and threw it in Noah's direction.

Noah caught that commanding badge and placed it in his pocket.

"If you had done this from the beginning, we wouldn't have squandered that needless blood," he said with a bright smile as he gazed at Aria.

Aria was irritated by his casual tone.

She turned her head in her comrade's direction, who had been severely injured by Noah.

Noah immediately pulled out his personal commanding badge and scanned all the warriors he had recently acquired.

He was quite excited. His group had now expanded up to 85 warriors!

He then slowly walked towards Daisy's side. A pill appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Aria.

"She can still recover if she eats this," Noah casually spoke before walking away.

Meanwhile, Aria remained seated with a blank expression on her face for a couple of seconds.

She then immediately placed that pill in her mouth and asked her to completely chew that medicinal pill.

Aria, her followers, and even Noah's followers witnessed a rare scene.

Daisy's lower body was regenerated soon after she ate that pill!

Many of Noah's subordinates knew who had created those pellets. Ever since they had ingested the Apex Blood Pill, they knew that Azaroth was completely unfathomable in concocting pills.

Thus, they weren't a whole lot surprised to see this scene occur in front of their eyes.

The same couldn't be spoken about the new recruits, especially Aria and her group. They were utterly astonished and amazed.

Aria wasn't happy to be forced to submit under another group. It was the Black Lake Sect's only group.

And she had been forced to surrender to another group. There was nothing more shameless than this!

However, she also didn't want to let her comrades die for nothing!

Out of the two, she decided to choose the lesser evil. She traded the lives of her comrades with the prestige of the sect.

And she felt that it was a good deal. Even her injured comrade had her legs healed.

She was very curious about Noah and which faction he belonged to.
