Chapter 284 Chicken

They were supposed to outrun the demons as soon as they left the mountain. But surprisingly, the demons kept chasing them. Of course, some of the slow demons were quickly left behind, but their numbers were still more than one hundred fifty.

"This is" Anna muttered while observing the demons' movements.

"Hey, aren't the demons supposed to stop chasing us right now?"

"That's what I thought too After all, demons are a bit territorial. It's a kind of the instinct they inherit from the animals.

"Then, doesn't this mean we're already causing an outbreak?" Noel's eyebrows twitched, realizing the problems they had in hand.

"That's true. But I don't think we can stop them. What should we do?" Anna was also confused by the demons' behavior. They had been chasing after them and attacking them this whole time as if they were enraged by something.

But if one took another look to their expression, they would know that these Advanced Level Demons had enough wisdom to stop the demons.

"" Noel contemplated for a moment and said, "I have an idea. First, we have to get away from any villages and see if the demons will stop chasing us or not. If the demons haven't stopped after fifteen minutes, we're going to approach this matter differently."

"Got it. What's your plan after that?"

"I'll say it after the first one fails."

"Tsk." Anna clicked her tongue but still trusted Noel's plan. He wasn't someone who would do meaningless thing, so she should trust him first until he gave an absurd plan.

Noel and Anna then sped up, rus.h.i.+ng their horses. Unfortunately for them, it seemed that their first plan failed because the demons hadn't stopped chasing after them.

"This is bad. What are we going to do now?" Anna asked while glancing at the demons on their tail. "Are they going to chase us until we're dead? Should we go to a big city to get some help?"

"Are you planning to become a criminal? It will look like we're bringing an outbreak to them."

"But they will surely understand us, considering we also don't know about the situation itself. They'll also believe us since we're from the Demon Banner Army."

"No, I have another way to stop them or at least stop half of them." Noel shook his head.

"And that is" Anna narrowed her eyes, expecting another brilliant plan from Noel.

Surprisingly, Noel actually talked about nonsense next. "Do you remember that you have been chickening this whole time?"

"Are you picking a fight with me right now?"

"No, no, no. You're misunderstanding my words. I'm just saying that I hope that you won't chicken out this time." Noel winked his right eye as if giving a signal to her.

"Chickening out Two people half of them" Anna connected the important words in Noel's mouth before understanding what he wanted to do. "You insane b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

"But that's the way." Noel grinned.ReadNovelFull.com

'I was expecting a plan to outrun them, but Noel is so insane that he's still thinking about killing them. If we can eliminate half of them or at least buy some time from them, we can annihilate them after a few tries. However, this plan is insane because it's very dangerous.'

Anna understood the risks and asked, "With horse or without horse?"

"Probably without. It seems that we have to abandon them in this situation."

"That's true." Anna nodded in agreement. Although it was a shame, this was something they had to do. "Alright. Let's do it. You give the signal."

"Alright." As soon as they reached an agreement, both of them began to s.h.i.+ft their direction, creating some distance between them.

As expected, the demons were following their movements and splitting into two.

Anna kept staring at Noel while waiting for the signal. On the other hand, Noel was observing the demons to make sure no one hit them from a different direction.

After the demons were in line and they had created enough distance, Noel raised his hand as the signal. "GO!"

With that shout, Noel jumped off the horse and began running as soon as he landed on the ground. Anna followed suit.

Both of them had a hard time to adjust their momentum, causing the demons to catch up a bit. Some of the demons almost attacked them.

Noel used his Sword Fall and Anna used her lightning strike to stop those demons.

After that, Noel raised his hand once again as the second signal.

In that instant, their paths began to curve as they were running to each other.

Noel and Anna pulled out their swords as if those two wanted to fight even after being chased like this.

Noel and Anna had a smirk on their faces as if they were challenging each other. If they collided like this, the demons behind them would squeeze them to death. If they didn't have enough firepower, they might be overwhelmed by their number.

So, this was a plan where they had to put their trust in each other.

Noel pointed at both of them first before pointing to the left as if telling her that both of them would move to the left at the same time.

Anna acknowledged this command and nodded.

The demons obviously didn't understand their hand signal. Even Noel didn't say the whole sentence this whole time, fearing that the Advanced Level Demons would understand them and cause the plan to fail.

Noel and Anna became closer and closer as the tension rose to the sky. Their hearts were beating crazily, having both fear and excitement.

Right before they collided with each other, both Noel and Anna stomped the ground with their right foot and jumped to the left.

"!!!" The demons were stunned because they tried to follow both of them, but the distance from one group to another was too close.

The demons with lower intelligence ended up colliding with each other, launching them into the air or destroying each other on the ground.
