Chapter 370 Lucian

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the Demon Bear was terrorizing the soldiers with its presence.

"Activate the barrier immediately!"

"That's right. We will have to protect this wall first and evacuate the people."

"But the Water Lord is poisoned."

"Who cares about that? I should have died if not for Water Lord taking me in, so I'm going to fight to the end for him."

The soldiers were shouting at each other, trying to raise their morale. However, the colossal Demon Bear came closer and closer, making them afraid. Every step it took caused the ground to vibrate, so they couldn't help but shudder in fear.

A single sweep from this demon would be enough to destroy the wall. At the same time, this was the reason why they should activate the barrier right away.

After all, it should be able to stop the Demon Bear a few times, buying them some time.

Suddenly, the wall shone as a few incomplete runes appeared on the wall's surface. If Noel was here, he would have recognized these three runes.

These were the Advanced Fortification Rune, Spiritual Energy Barrier Rune, and Spiritual Energy Gathering Rune.

Normally, they only used the first and third runes since they were used to strengthen the walls physically and gather enough Spiritual Energy to supply the rune respectively. Meanwhile, the Spiritual Energy Barrier Rune was an even more advanced Rune. Even Noel didn't know whether he could draw this kind of rune or not.

A translucent wall appeared in front of this stone wall. The demons on the ground were soon split into two because the translucent wall stopped them.

The Demon Bear saw this rune and roared as if feeling challenged by this kind of hurdle. He gathered the Spiritual Energy in his paw. The Spiritual Energy was rampaging and fierce that it looked like a blazing fire.

The Demon Bear roared and charged forward, stomping any demons in his way since he couldn't be bothered to wait for the rest of the demons to give way.

Although the Demon Bear ended up killing dozens of demons, no one felt happy at this moment because the Demon Bear had finally reached them.

The Demon Bear struck the barrier with all its might.

*Bam!*

The collision alone created a ma.s.sive shock wave that blew away all the demons in the surrounding. The ground was shaking for a few seconds and the loud bang struck fear in everyone's heart.

"Hiii" They were scared still. If they were hit by this attack, they would have died on the spot.

In fact, if the bear hit the ground, a huge crater would be born.

"Humans and its useless invention! Do you think I'll let you off after you disturb my sleep?!" The bear roared, surprisingly speaking in human language.

"The demon can speak our language?"

"Impossible. I have never heard of such a thing."

They didn't know that a Superior Demon's brain was already beyond an average human's brain. So, it wasn't that weird for them to be able to speak human language.

However, the normal soldiers didn't have this knowledge, so they were panicking when they heard the demon speaking their language.

And even worse, after seeing his attack was blocked by the barrier, the bear raised its paw again, planning to attack it the second time.

When it was still gathering its Spiritual Energy, there was a blinding light coming from the side.

The light looked like a spear, piercing through anything. No demons could even stop it as it continued toward the Demon Bear.

"!!!" The Demon Bear widened its eyes and waved its paw toward this white light with all its might.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The Demon Bear let out a roar, trying to destroy this white spear.

The clash between the light and the bear's paw caused a similar shock wave that blew away the demons. In an instant, the field was cleared because of those two.

However, the Demon Bear seemed to be stronger as it managed to deflect the light.

The light ended up hitting the ground and exploded. The light engulfed more than three hundred demons and decimated every single of them.

When the light disappeared, the bear could see a human standing in the middle of the explosion. He was none other than the captain of the Demon a.s.sa.s.sination Squad, Lucian.

"That Demon Bear is stronger than I expected To think I couldn't defeat it with a single attack." Lucian muttered with a smile. He raised his rapier again.

Despite how thin the rapier was, its durability had been reinforced by runes, allowing him to wield a rapier like a normal sword. And that thin pointed blade made it perform like a needle, being able to pierce through anything.

Unfortunately, the bear was stronger than he thought, deflecting the attack he put everything into it.

"I'm still wondering what is the Water Lord doing, considering he is supposed to be the one fighting this demon while we kill the people from the Supreme Devil Organization." Lucian narrowed his eyes when he saw numerous demons encircling him, planning to help their leader to take him down.

"Then, let's see whether you can do it or not." Lucian smiled and gathered the Spiritual Energy in his rapier again, planning to fight against all these demons by himself.

The Demon Bear looked at him and said, "It seems that I have to kill you first before I destroy this city. I don't want any city to disturb me anymore."

Lucian smirked and ignored him as he had to tell the soldiers on the wall. "I am a Captain from the Demon Banner Army. All soldiers, ready your weapon and protect the wall from the rest of the demons. I shall be the one taking care of this huge bear."

The soldiers heard his voice loud and clear.

"A Captain from the Demon Banner Army?"

"Captains are the strongest fighters in the Demon Banner Army If it's him, then it's possible"

"That's right. All soldiers, raise your weapons again. Let's repel the demons! We shouldn't be the one to go down."

"This is our city and we shall protect it with our own hands!"

"Uoh!"

The soldiers cheered as they became determined to protect their city.

Lucian smiled. "Then, I have to kill this bear for them."
