Chapter 691 Small Trick

"We have our own objective."

'Their own objective?' The serpent furrowed her eyebrows as she noticed that message. However, a part of her couldn't help but doubt that sentence. 'Is this just a trick to fool me? If he is truly the one who has been fooling us, there is a big chance that he is saying those words just to confuse me.'

The serpent took a deep breath while hiding behind the snake, trying to find something that would give her a clue about their objective. If she couldn't find it, she would treat it as a trick.

The snake started moving toward Noel, the most dangerous person among them.

It looked like the snake was going to kill Noel, but Hailfa didn't forget their objective, which was to kidnap Noel. That was why she wanted to make Noel think they had a change of plan and decided to kill him to lower his guard against kidnapping.

Noel raised his sword and took a step forward with his right foot. It didn't seem he was planning to dodge.

He even used the Muscle Enhancement Rune and Spirit Blessing Rune to confront this snake.

Seeing Noel's serious face, Rose hurriedly commanded the others. "Attack that woman."

"!!!" They were startled because Noel was in danger. But they remembered when Noel said they had to take orders no matter how strange it was. Although it wasn't from Noel, it was from Rose, the second brain of the group.

"You all are insane." Hailfa narrowed her eyes while raising both daggers, trying to protect herself. At the same time, she was controlling the snake. Since they were targeting her instead, it was convenient for her since it gave her an opportunity to kidnap Noel.

Unfortunately, it seemed that she was still underestimating Noel too much. It might be because Noel had just joined the Demon Banner Army not long ago, but Noel's strength was completely on a different level.

He used the Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to change the purpose of his sword. The emotion he used was contempt which allowed him to look down on everything as if he had the power to do so. And this power gave him the ability to strike the target precisely.

In addition, Noel coated the sword with Spirit Weaponry. When the snake was about to reach him, he used the Split Step to make his body seem to split into two.

"!!!" The snake paused for a moment because it was confused. Obviously, the snake was completely linked to Hailfa, and the latter had trouble recognizing him. She took a gamble and went after the right one.

"" Noel frowned and hurriedly struck the snake's fang, stopping it. At the same time, the other Noel disappeared.

It might be lucky, but Noel knew that not everything would go according to his way.

He hurriedly changed his approach from Spirit Weaponry to Ignition Sword. The Ignition Sword exploded, blowing the snake's head.

Unfortunately for him, the snake was made of Spiritual Energy, so it didn't feel any pain. However, the explosion force still knocked the head slightly, allowing him to approach the snake's body.

He returned with the Spirit Weaponry and struck the snake's body multiple times. The Contempt Emotion allowed him to strike right at the gap between scales.

The snake was being cut all over as Spiritual Energy was leaking out of the body. It ended up disappearing since it would be a ha.s.sle to manage that kind of snake even with Spirit Grandmaster's Spiritual Energy Reserve.

Noel turned around to check on Hailfa.

*Clink!*

*Clink!*

*Clink!*

A series of clicking sounds echoed on the battlefield as Stella struck her with a few quick strikes, trying to overpower her with momentum. But as a Spirit Grandmaster, she maintained her calm the whole time, parrying one strike after another.

Jonathan waved his hand down, putting the pressure on top of her.

"!!!" The invisible pressure was pinning her to the ground. Although she could still move, her speed was reduced.

At the same time, Zion and Ben approached her from two different directions. Zion used his extraordinary speed and weight to kick her.

But Hailfa's movement was more refined than he thought. Even without strength equal to Zion's momentum and weight, she could still deal with this type of attack.

She struck his boot slightly before using the soft approach to let his body slide before redirecting it to Ben, who came from the opposite direction.

"What?" Zion was shocked for two reasons. 'Her speed is below me, but the way she controls her strength is more refined than anyone in the squad. And the way she counters my momentum with soft strength I guess I should say as expected of a Devil Bishop'

Luckily, Ben managed to avoid Zion even though his momentum had to stop.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Hailfa took advantage of it to jump toward Ben, trying to take advantage of this situation to kill at least one member.

"!!!" Ben hurriedly threw his body to the side when he saw Hailfa appearing in front of him. However, her dagger managed to graze Ben's cheek.

'I got him!' Hailfa thought. Her daggers were laced on poison, so it would become fatal if they ever got hit by it. After all, this was her specialty. She might not be a good fighter, but her power was surely terrifying.

To her surprise, Ben suddenly spun his body and kicked her on the waist.

"Kh." Hailfa instinctively used her Spiritual Energy to block it, but the impact still felt like it moved her organs a bit and the force knocked her away.

She hurriedly stood back up and checked Ben, thinking the poison should be working by now. But when she looked at Ben's face, the wound suddenly disappeared as though it had never existed.

'Huh, why?' Hailfa's body trembled before her head turned to Rose. That was right. Rose was using her illusion to lower her guard and allow the others to counterattack.

"So, you are the one who I should kill first." Hailfa gritted her teeth, changing her target to Rose.
