A Demon's Journey

Chapter 328 - Noah Vs His Subordinates

Noah's subordinates gathered in an empty field of the Origin Sect Branch. There were nearly 400 of his subordinates here.

A while later, Noah stood in front of them as he spoke out, "A huge series of battles will begin from tomorrow. I need you guys to be prepared for these battles."

Noah suddenly pulled out his sword while speaking, "Come. Let me see how ready you are."

"W-What?!" Aria and Luna were shocked to see Noah rushing towards them with a serious expression.

He had already pulled out his sword from his sheathe and attacked them while congealing his sword with his Sword Qi.

Noah attacked Aria first, who raised an Ice Wall to block him. However, it didn't last for a single second as Noah shattered it with a simple slash.. He brandished his sword again and was ready to strike her.

At this moment, Luna used strong Wind Pressure and pushed Aria out of the way. Noah slashed in the empty air.

However, even then, a sword slash was released, and it targeted the other warriors standing in that direction.

Unfortunately for them, they didn't have someone like Luna pushing them out of the way.

However, it was good that Noah kept a leash on the power behind this sword slash. He didn't want to gravely injure these warriors.

He only used enough force in his Sword Slash to terrify them. He wanted them to experience a life-threatening feeling.

When they experience this feeling, their bodies will try to flee or fight at their full potential.

If they hardened their hearts and fought with all of their might, they would earn a lot of battle experience, and their skills, as well as their timing, would improve dramatically.

However, very few warriors could make the decision to fight against Noah. Nearly all his subordinates tried to flee in different directions.

After running some distance away from Noah, they soon hit an invisible wall.

Noah sneered in response and spoke, "You think you can escape? My master created this field, especially for this training. You can't escape. You can only fight!"

Noah was basically forcing them to fight. He wanted to make them forget their flight instincts. They only had to remember their fighting instincts. There was no place for cowards in his group.

Meanwhile, Aria and Luna stood next to each other.

Luna spoke while gazing at Noah, "Is he seriously going to fight all of us alone?!"

"It seems he doesn't understand how much stronger we are after receiving his gift. We need to show him that we aren't the same as before!" Aria spoke with a resolute look on her face.

Noah had already begun to fight against his subordinates. He was fighting against all his subordinates. All attacks at him were countered back without any issue.

Even though they had gathered him, Noah would still somehow find a way to parry their strike and counter them.

Aria and Luna joined this battle as well. Luna launched a couple of Wind Blasts at Noah from afar.

There was a strong burst of wind around Noah. But this was in the opposite direction. It completely nullified Luna's Wind Blasts.

However, Luna wasn't surprised and showed a clever smile on her face while thinking 'This was just a distraction. The real attack is…'

"Frosty Creeper!" Suddenly, thin roots of pure Ice were formed near Noah's feet as they held his feet tightly.

When Noah tried to move his foot, he discovered that his muscles were entirely paralyzed.

"Attack him now!" Luna shouted out. She knew that Aria's attack had worked. Noah would remain paralyzed for a couple of seconds.

Noah's subordinates saw hope for their victory. A faint and unlikely hope that excited them to no end.

They immediately charged up their Ardor and launched their respective attacks at Noah.

Loud explosions occurred where Noah stood. His subordinates were a little worried when they saw their attacks colliding with Noah and exploding so violently.

Noah might have died after being hit with so many attacks.

However, the response they received was a green light being released within that smoke cloud.

This greenish light was released in the form of Sword Qi as Noah launched his Fleeting Cresent Slash, but this time, it was in the form of a circle with his body as its center.

This circle was widening quickly as Noah used this attack. In this manner, he was targeting all his subordinates at the same time.

Aria and Luna tried to block this attack, but their efforts were in vain.

"That was a pitiful attempt to defeat me," Noah's cold voice resounded in the entire area as he stepped out of the smoke cloud.

In the meantime, Tiana was returning to her Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. She had recruited 10 new disciples for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

She hadn't informed them of the entire truth about the sect. All she had told them was that they would see when they reached the sect.

She traveled to each of their hometowns and convinced their families to change their living location.

All of their families possessed land and lived in fine condition. It was very difficult for Tiana to convince them to change their cities.

However, Tiana finally convinced them and helped them settle inside the city near the Arctic Summit.

The weather was quite cold in that city, but Tiana compensated them by giving them a lot of Spiritual Coins.

When they reached the sect, the women accompanying Tiana were startled to check out the large Ice Palace.

Helena appeared outside to greet Tiana and her fellow disciples.

"Greetings, Sect Mistress," She spoke with a respectful expression.

The women accompanying Tiana were even more shocked to hear that statement. A bittersweet smile appeared on Tiana's face as she decided to reveal the truth to them.

"I will be frank with you. The Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect is newly found. I am the Sect Mistress of this sect. However, the true master of this sect is an expert of Emperor Rank. He has given me the task to establish this sect and expand it as much as possible," Tiana spoke seriously.

"An Emperor ranked expert?!" These women were startled to hear those words.

"That's correct. He is the one who created this Ice Palace you see before your eyes. The Mist through which we traveled. And the countless arrays placed here to boost our growth!" Tiana proudly spoke.

All these women belonged to a martial background. They knew that not even the Red Crown Sect or the various Associations of the Glerian Kingdom had any Emperor Ranked Expert.

If they trained in a sect whose master was an Emperor Ranked Expert, they would have a good chance to reach the 6 Star Rank. Or at least reach the 5 Star Rank.

They felt quite lucky to get the chance to be a part of this sect. As for the part that this was a newly found sect. They didn't care all that much about it.

They belonged to some newly found sects, so joining another newly established sect wasn't a huge issue to them.

They sensed dense Spiritual Energy in their surroundings. They understood that this was the work of some mysterious array and their respect for this mysterious master of Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect rose even further.
