Chapter 576 Victor

The demon knew that it was close to its peak state while Noel was heavily injured. The situation had gradually s.h.i.+fted.

And the moment Noel showed the last rune to disperse the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Weaponry, the demon realized that Noel had a hard time fighting back.

This time, the hunter had become the hunted.

Without hesitation, the demon looped around the unique energy and approached Noel from the back. Noel smiled as he moved back, using the unique Spiritual Energy as his cover. He planned to stay this way as long as possible since the demon was scared of this energy.

Since Noel refused to come out, the demon ended up flapping his wings, blowing the unique Spiritual Energy away.

Noel actually followed the movement of Spiritual Energy. It had been dispersed further, but it was still enough to hinder the demon's movement.

But as one would expect from a bird, it flew past the hurdles skillfully, forcing Noel to fly away.

"!!!" The demon had confirmed with this action that he truly had become the hunter.

So, the bird chased after Noel. He might be heavily injured as well, but all he needed was one blow to defeat Noel. As long as he could catch up, he should be able to kill Noel.

It seemed Noel had prepared for this chase. He summoned the Rune Arrow and applied the Extension Rune instead of the Enhance Forward Rune.

In that instant, the arrow expanded forward. It might not be as quick as the Enhance Forward Rune, but the expansion made it st.u.r.dier.

Unfortunately, the demon avoided it effortlessly.

Noel raised his left hand again. This time, he used 'Flame Conjuring' to form a big palm made of black fire.

He tried to slap the demon from above.

The demon had long acknowledged that this black fire was superior to his fire. So, it didn't hesitate to dodge the palm even if it meant Noel got away.

Still, the gap didn't widen that much. So, the demon used its fastest speed to catch up.

Just like the demon, Noel had an ability to use feathers. Instead of spinning his body, Noel only flapped the Phoenix Wings once, plucking out five black feathers.

Noel sent them forward, alarming the demon.

"!!!" The demon obviously understood how the feathers could be used. So, it soared into the sky, trying to get as far as possible from the feathers.

After that, he dove down, getting all the momentum to reach Noel.

Noel used the Ice Infusion and waved his sword, sending forth the frost energy. But because it was too small, the demon easily avoided it by flying to the side.

It missed Noel, but the demon's speed still far outpaced him, so the demon reached him a few seconds later.

Noel clicked his tongue and used the Ice Mirror to stop the demon.

The demon only spread its wings and struck the Ice Mirror fearlessly. After the sun reached its peak, the demon didn't fear Noel's ice ability anymore.

The moment it touched the demon, the Ice Mirror immediately got engulfed by the fire and melted away.

Phoenix Wing.

A black colored phoenix emerged from Noel's hand. It turned out Noel used the Ice Mirror to cover the demon's eyes so that he could use the Undying Phoenix.

The demon was startled and tried to avoid it, but it was too late. The Undying Phoenix hit the tip of the wing and exploded, engulfing the demon.

Luckily, the demon's momentum was extremely fast. The body managed to avoid the explosion and flame with its momentum alone, but the black flame managed to reach its body.

The demon's right wing and right side of the body had a black flame on them, killing the demon slowly.

The demon knew that if it continued, he would just die without a fight. So, he had to kill Noel before his body was burned.

This was the most effective way to get rid of the fire.

So, he ignored all the pain in his body and continued to fly straight to Noel.

"!!!" Noel seemed to be shocked. He must think the demon would stop and wail in pain because of the pain before chasing after him. Unfortunately for him, the demon was stronger than he expected.

It instantly closed the gap between them and finally reached Noel.

Noel raised his sword, trying to kill the bird with a single slash. But that was only a desperate attempt from a shocked person. It didn't have any other meaning.

The bird was faster in closing his wings, using the flame to create an oven to burn Noel.

"Aaaahhh!" Noel let out a scream as if he was in pain. Although he didn't catch fire yet due to the Flame Scale, it didn't change the fact that his organs would be cooked completely after this.

*Cry!*

The demon let out a huge cry while looking at Noel happily, knowing that his attack definitely became the last blow.

Unfortunately for him, Noel had Heisk inside him. She had cooled down Noel's organs, allowing him to withstand this heat once more.

And knowing that the bird would use this kind of attack to kill him, Noel immediately flew forward while gathering his Spiritual Energy into his sword.

Spirit Weaponry.

Extension Rune.

The sword became long enough to slice the bird in half.

"!!!" The bird was shocked, never expecting Noel to use this kind of strategy. Its instinct was to move its body away from Noel, but it was too late.

Noel slashed horizontally, cutting the demon's body into two.

The bird never thought Noel would be able to defeat him. But there was nothing he could do since Noel had cut him down.

It could only glare at Noel one more time. It wanted to let out a cry, but it didn't have the energy or consciousness to do it.

The fire on the body had gradually subsided. When every flame was gone, it was the sign of the death of the fire bird demon.

The battle was over, and Noel was the victor.
