A Demon's Journey

Chapter 302 - Surprise

The group leaders of the Stony Rock Sect and Vermillion Jade Sect accepted Karsten Wenzel's offer.

In fact, not just them but the other group leaders found this offer quite reasonable.

Casten Tarr was calm on the surface, but internally, he was fuming. Karsten Wenzel was just making things difficult for him.

Casten Tarr had arranged this conference to discuss Noah and his gang and establish himself as the de facto head of an alliance with all of these group leaders from different factions and sects.

However, Karsten Wenzel had managed to split this conference into two parts. Casten Tarr's potential influence had shrunk.

The even more frustrating thing was that there was no logical counter to Karsten Wenzel's argument.

With a heavy heart, Casten Tarr spoke out, "…I agree.."

He had no choice but to agree because there was no logical rebuttal to that assertion. Otherwise, Luna and Sakis would think of him as a narrow-minded individual, lowering their regard for him.

That was out of the question for him. He had no choice but to grab everything he could. Otherwise, his master would be dissatisfied with his performance.

His prime motive had remained unchanged. According to him, only Noah stood in his way of winning this event.

They suddenly heard shouts from outside the tent where they were sitting.

Casten Tarr and all the individuals turned in the direction. They knew that it came from their subordinates.

"What is happening? Didn't you order your subordinates to remain calm?" Casten Tarr spoke with a frown.

"Speak for yourself. My subordinates won't raise such a ruckus without a good reason," Claus spoke with an irritated expression.

He recognized a few shouts. Those shouts belonged to his subordinates, and thus his complexion was especially ugly.

A guy ripped the tarpaulin as he was being hurled into the tent.

Luna raised her hand and controlled the wind currents to soften the blow for this guy.

"Just what is going on?" Casten Tarr inquired as he stared at that man and then at the hole in the tarpaulin.

He did have a faint idea of what was going on. But it was far too unbelievable for him to believe.

Three more guys were thrown inside the tent at the same time. Luna, as well as all of the gang leaders, backed away from their places this time, ripping the canvas and exiting the tent.

Once they left the tent, they looked around to find out what was going on.

Their surroundings shocked them greatly. All of them noticed their group members fighting against another unfamiliar group.

When Luna turned to look around, she realized that a number of her subordinates had been frozen. This sensation was so familiar to her that it caused her hair to stand up in rage.

"Aria!!!" She shouted in rage as she rushed towards the location Aria was fighting.

Her speed was boosted by the Wind Currents around her as she rushed towards Aria.

Aria soon noticed Luna, but she was back to fighting with the warriors around her. This blatant disregard from Aria angered Luna even more.

She drew her Sword and wrapped it in Wind Rings. Those Wind Rings whirled around her blade at breakneck speed.

As Luna was rushing towards Aria with her top speed, she sensed an oppressive aura in her way.

This aura was so powerful and oppressive that it caused her to come to a complete halt and stare in the direction from where it emanated.

She turned to face a little boy holding a sword that was longer than his arm.

He brandished his sword and sent a slash in her direction filled with Sword Qi and Pure Ardor.

Luna's subordinates noticed this Sword Slash heading towards their leader. They immediately jumped in front of this Sword Slash, attacking it with their strongest defensive skills.

Unfortunately, the Sword Slash still pierced through their bodies. Its power had diminished a bit, but Luna still got the feeling that it would be best if she didn't take it head-on.

However, it was impossible to get out of the way in time. The slash was quite wide in range.

She brandished her sword and took a step back as the Slash struck her sword.

A Wind Ring was whirling around her sword. It clashed against that Sword Slash and soon directed it a bit away from Luna's direction.

The Sword Slash passed above Luna's head, cutting off a few of her hair strands.

Luna's heart was thumping wildly as she realized that she had barely survived this sword slash. If not for her subordinates sacrificing themselves to block this attack, she couldn't have successfully redirected away from this Sword Slash.

"Y-You are?" She inquired, her voice trembling, as she was genuinely scared at the moment. This was the first time she was so close to death.

It would take some time for her to handle this shock.

Noah hadn't heard her voice because it was too faint. In fact, her presence felt rather weak now, and he changed his target.

His next target was Claus Behr.

Claus Behr had returned to his subordinates' side and discovered that Noah and his subordinates had cut and beaten them black and blue.

He was furious and wanted revenge. Claus Behr immediately charged in Noah's direction to make him pay for what he did to his subordinates.

Among all the groups, his subordinates had suffered the most damage. It would suggest that his group was the weakest among those gathered here.

The reality was actually somewhat different.

Each of these groups had set up their camp in a particular direction. And the direction from which Noah began attacking them was coincidentally the direction where Claus Behr had set up his camp.

Thus, his side suffered the most damage as they were Noah and his subordinates' first opponents.

Soon, the battle escalated, and all the groups were involved.

Claus Behr brandished his mace as he attacked Noah. It was a Grey Colored Mace with spikes on it.

Noah raised his sword and blocked that mace's path. He stared at Claus emotionlessly and used more Sword Qi to cut apart his Mace.

Sparks were released as Noah's sword managed to pierce the Mace a little. Claus frowned as he realized the threat Noah posed.

He used all his strength to pick the Mace and sent a kick in Noah's direction.

Noah shifted his position as he wielded his sword, intending to sever Claus's leg, which was about to kick him.

Claus realized the threat from Noah but still continued with his attack.

Surprisingly, Noah's sword could not sever Claus' leg when it collided with his kick.

Noah sensed Earth Chakra being utilized. But this was somewhat different from the standard Earth Chakra.

It was much more powerful and resilient.

Suddenly, Claus' leg bloated up, and Claus lifted Noah with that leg effortlessly. In terms of pure power, Claus was much stronger than Noah.

He then launched Noah into the air. When Noah was flung into the air, Claus first re-sized his leg before bending down and leaping into the air to strike Noah with his Mace.

Currently, there was a brown aura around his body and Mace that contained pure Earth Elemental Energy.

Noah was still in mid-air, trying to regain his balance while Claus had come to attack him ruthlessly.

Noah placed his sword in his sheath and then looked for Claus. In a couple of seconds, he found Claus and smirked while gripping his sword's handle tightly.
