Chapter 434 Overwhelming Flame

"Tsk. A smart-a.s.s brat!" Richard clicked his tongue. Before he could berate Noel, the other wolf was thoroughly angered as it stormed at Noel, trying to kill him.

The wolf was going to take its revenge now.

Richard wanted to let Noel suffer, but he realized there would be a conflict with Paul later if he did this. The Demon Relief Squad might refuse to repair the bridge, which resulted in the suffering of his Demon Hunting Squad. So, he decided to step forward, stopping the wolf.

Even though he couldn't make him suffer, he should be able to lecture him later.

So, he wanted to deal with this as soon as possible.

With his power gathering in his fist, Richard punched the ground, turning it into a crater.

"!!!" The wolf wasn't prepared for a sudden change in terrain. It tried to balance its body due to the change of angle, but Richard had appeared in front of him, punching the wolf in the face.

"Ao!" The wolf was launched a few meters away.

"" Richard narrowed his eyes, looking at his fist that somehow got reddened upon touching the wolf.

Unlike the lightning wolf who had extraordinary power, the light wolf had a unique defense. Even Noel couldn't steal his kill easily this time.

Richard might have been too focused that he forgot Noel was only a Spirit Wielder. Yet, he could kill a Peak Level Demon easily. Even with his help, it was still impossible unless he had extraordinary strength. Even their Shawn couldn't achieve this feat, so it was surprising that Noel could effortlessly do it.

Richard didn't realize it until later. He focused on the demon before him first.

The demon suddenly erected another barrier again as if it was trying to protect itself from Richard.

But there was a sudden change in fluctuation with this barrier. The Spiritual Energy kept increasing at a rapid rate.

"Not good!" The first one to feel it was Jonathan, who was the most adept in Spiritual Energy. "That kind of energy will explode!"

"!!!" Richard widened his eyes in surprise. He hurriedly formed two huge hands next to the wolf.

"Wind Palm!" Richard roared while clapping his hands. The two wind palms also moved toward each other as if trying to cover the wolf.

But since it was the wind, Noel had the ability to boost it.

He formed the Undying Fire on top of his palm before throwing it to the two wind palms.

In that instant, the wind palms were lit.

"What are you doi" Richard couldn't stand Noel for ruining his fight, but he soon stopped. He noticed something weird on his wind palm.

These now fiery black palms surprisingly suppressed the wolf's Spiritual Energy.

"Huh?" Richard gasped. 'It's suppressing the Spiritual Energy? No, it's burning the Spiritual Energy, reducing it to nothing What kind of flame does he possess? To think it has such intensity. The flame itself doesn't release so much heat, but it can burn everything, including the Spiritual Energy itself.'

Richard had realized why Noel managed to join the Zero Squad at his age. That ability was enough to even become the best in his generation.

If he could control his flame, he would become invincible.

With this fire, Richard continued pressing the wolf, making the palms burn the wolf alive.

"Aoooo!" The wolf screamed in pain as its fur was lit on fire. Its body was boiling and its blood was evaporating. The skin turned charred in mere seconds.

Eventually, the wolf died, unable to do anything.

Even Richard was shocked after witnessing all this. He realized they managed to kill two Peak Level Demons with such ease. The others hadn't even finished their fight, despite their opponents being only Low Level and Mid Level Demons.

'Is he for real?' Richard sucked a cold breath, glancing at Noel. 'This guy has perfect timing, extraordinary flame, good judgment, and confidence. Is he truly a mere Spirit Wielder? This kind of mastery can't be easily achieved even for a Spirit Master.'

What Richard didn't know was that Noel never had a need to learn his abilities since he had a system that would give him the knowledge and mastery. Noel also had a good natural talent along with Dimitri as his teacher. Dimitri had taught him all the basics, strengthening his foundation.

In addition to his overwhelming flame and three months of absorbing Demon Crystals, even though Noel hadn't reached the peak Spirit Wielder, his combat prowess had entered that realm.

Killing Peak Level Demons was possible with the help of a Spirit Grandmaster and perfect timing.

"Huu" Noel let out a sigh of relief. He had slain three Peak Level Demons when he was with the Demon Relief Squad, but it took a lot of planning and effort.

'As expected of the Demon Hunting Squad, their strength is too overwhelming. I could easily kill both of them.' Noel thought as he saw Richard rus.h.i.+ng toward him. His face was filled with anger, so Noel knew what he wanted to say.

"Hey, you brat! Do you know what you have done?" Richard gritted his teeth while cracking his fingers, planning to beat Noel up.

Noel maintained his poker face. He knew his teammates would help him, but Noel also didn't want unnecessary problems.

Hence, he skillfully dodged it by pointing at the cave.

"By the way, before you start, you might want to focus on that one"

"Huh?" Richard was confused at first and turned around. If there was nothing coming out of the cave, he would blow up.

But this time, he saw a centipede and two bats leading a group of demons.

These centipede and bats were Peak Level Demons that the two wolves had called. If they came out before the two wolves died, it meant the group had to take down five Peak Level Demons together with a group of demons. It looked like Noel had a good reason to steal the kill.

Richard gritted his teeth and shouted, "I still haven't forgiven you for ruining my hunt! But that can wait With three Peak Level Demons, even I might need your help. Come!"

"Yes, Sir."
