A Demon's Journey

Chapter 139 - Spyro's Shock

When the onlookers heard Sargan put out a wager of 1000 Spirit Coins that Spyro won't even be able to touch Noah, they were shocked but also angry.

The strongest among their group had lost to Spyro. Moreover, it was a one-sided victory. To hear from Sargan that Spyro won't even touch Noah made them feel that Sargan was suggesting Spyro was below Noah.

And since they were below Spyro… It could be said that in Sargan's eyes, their existence was worthless!

This flared them up greatly. How could they tolerate someone looking down on them so much?!

"How arrogant?! I hope young master Spyro will thrash this boy! Atleast he will realize that just because he has a mouth doesn't mean he can speak nonsense!"

"Yeah. This is just blatant contempt for the Stony Rock Sect. Young Master Spyro doesn't need to hold back against them."

"It's unfortunate that this child has been assigned to battle Young Master Spyro. However, after he is defeated, young master Spyro must teach that man and his followers a lesson."

"This man has insulted us for long enough. Please teach this man a lesson quickly!"

While they were speaking with such fervor, someone among them shouted, "Justice…Give us justice!"

It was worth noting that the entire public was raging at Sargan. Not a single one of them targeted Noah.

In their eyes, his arrogance was a result of his youth. There was no need to be too harsh on him.

Moreover, even though he had sharp eyes and an authoritative aura around him, his cute appearance made them halt, especially to the eyes of the women.

As they looked at Noah, his charm hit them greatly. They were the ones who purposely shifted the anger to Azaroth. In fact, a few of them were even walking next to Noah.

"Little kid, is your boss threatening you? Is he doing something bad to you?"

"Don't worry, you can tell us all about it. We will definitely handle the situation."

These women were filled with benevolence towards him.

Noah frowned and fiercely glared at these women. The fact they were putting such blame on Azaroth just angered him.

In his eyes, Azaroth was his savior. His master. And to a sense, his god.

He had to become a sword that servers his enemies, not someone who thinks against his master!

Just as he was about to slap one of these women, Azaroth spoke out, "No. Remain focused on your task!"

Once Noah heard Azaroth's words, he immediately calmed down. He ignored the women around him who raged at Azaroth for trying to prevent Noah from speaking the truth.

Initially, these women were quite fond of Azaroth because of his appearance. But now, they felt that this man was just a tyrant who was forcing young children to obey him.

In a sense, Azaroth found their anger amusing.

The raging emotions he saw somewhat astonished him. But what amused him, even more, was that these women had still not dared to take any action against him.

Their anger was strong enough, so why hadn't they attacked him yet? It was because their fear of him was even greater.

These women weren't even truly warriors.

Their fear was truly amusing to him.

While looking at these women, he gave a chilly smile and calmly spoke, "Woman, if you are angry, then release it. You can glare at me all day, but it won't hurt me. Come, attack me."

He added after a momentary pause, "However, if you do step towards me, it won't end up with a tap on your arm. Blood will spill, and it won't be mine."

One of these women yelled at him, "You are forcing an innocent boy to obey your commands!"

Azaroth decided to amuse himself and replied, "So, what?"

"This is wrong!" A man stood up in support of the women and shouted at Azaroth while glaring at him.

Azaroth turned towards this man and began speaking with a fierce voice, "Ah right. People like you do love to preach about what is right and what is wrong. You love to see the world as right, wrong, black or white. When you see something wrong, you immediately stand up against it."

"The issue with people like you is that you take action before even trying to understand the situation. I can't say it's an issue for me, though. Your rage towards me is thrilling. Because I can now see that look of realization on your face. That look of realization which says you don't have enough power to change anything." Azaroth finished speaking while the chilly smile on his face widened.

The women and even the men who stood up against Azaroth lowered their heads. They hated admitting it, but this was the truth.

Before they could say anything, Azaroth spoke to them, "Now, open your eyes wide and observe Noah. Believe me when I say that you are worried about the wrong person."

Soon, the people turned their eyes towards Noah.

Spyro began speaking to Noah, "You can back out if you-" Suddenly, a Sword Qi from very close to his head. It cut apart a few strands of his hair.

The attack was so sudden that it completely shocked Spyro.

Then, he heard Noah speaking with a voice filled with frustration, "Chatter, chatter, chatter. Can you just shut up for a moment and fight? If I kill you now, those two idiots are going to shout how I killed you when you were unprepared. So just do it. Prepare yourself."

This time, his voice wasn't just spoken with a strong tone. It also held his frustrating emotions.

His voice greatly impacted those who heard him.

Meanwhile, Spyro was in another kind of shock. His primary aim in having these spars was just to look cooler. But now, he realized that the attack that was about to hit him was none other than an Intent Qi.

The boy ahead of him had actually condensed Sword Intent Qi. Moreover, its power wasn't weak!

His primary motive in conducting these spars was to humiliate Azaroth since he thought Azaroth was just a weak warrior with a social circle out of his reach. Basically, Spyro just wanted to flirt around with Laura and others.

It was now he realized that he had poked a monster far beyond his capability to handle.

Just this kid with the awakened Sword Intent at such a young age could be considered a monster.

But this realization scared him only slightly.

As a genius, he had his own pride as well. He wasn't going to admit defeat before even fight. The warriors who comprehend their intent aren't invincible.

It could be said that they had one more weapon in their arsenal and knew how to use it well. However, as a disciple from a famous sect, Spyro didn't lack attacks as well.

A calm aura was released from his body as Spyro prepared himself for a serious fight against Noah.

When Noah saw his opponent finally get into a battle stance, he raised his sword and pointed it at Spyro.

He was the one who took the initiative to attack.. Spyro braced his body for impact and also readied his own attack. After bracing the impact, he was going to launch his own attack!
