A Demon's Journey

Chapter 459 - Gilbert's Choice

Roman jumped back as he dodged Noah's attack. His silver whistle was sliced into two parts. A serious expression appeared on his face as he glanced at Noah.

Noah didn't stop. He continued to charge at Roman, having made up his mind to kill his enemy today.

Using his Fist Qi, Roman tried to stop Noah, but it was all for naught.

Noah easily managed to counter that Fist Qi with his Sword Qi. His Sword Qi was so powerful, so robust, and so sharp that it easily defeated Roman's Fist Qi.

Roman understood why he couldn't challenge or stop Noah. He had just burned his life force and boosted his Fist Qi. And now, he was feeling the repercussions.

However, it was never Roman's intention to have a serious bout with Noah. He was merely buying time. Buying time for Gilbert to arrive.

Gilbert hadn't come along with him. It seemed that he was preoccupied with something. In reality, Gilbert was preparing for his eventual escape.

However, while he was giving it one last finishing touch, he received Roman's signal.

'It seems that the kid possessing Sword Domain has arrived,' He thought with a sneer.

Gilbert was very confident about this mission. He didn't think that a 4 Star Warrior would be any trouble for him.

In a sense, this was correct. A 4 Star Warrior could never become the source of trouble for a 5 Star Warrior. This was how wide the difference between them existed.

However, Noah wasn't some random 4 Star Warrior. He possessed a Sword Domain. This Sword Domain boosted his attacking techniques, defensive techniques, and his Sword Qi significantly. It was to such an extent that no other 4 Star Warrior could be his match!

Gilbert took off immediately after receiving the signal. He was planning to deal with this troublesome warrior quickly and then return to the camp.

While Roman and most of the warriors were away, he could put his plan into motion. He planned to have Sophie under him by this evening.

Gilbert reached the battlefield rather quickly. His flying speed was quite high since he possessed Wind Ardor which boosted his speed significantly.

As he reached the battlefield, his eyes immediately focused on two portions of the battlefield. One portion was where Noah and Roman were fighting.

And the other portion was where he saw hundreds of warriors fighting against Roman's entire army. The surprising thing was that these hundreds of warriors were actually slaughtering Roman's army.

For a second, Gilbert wondered whom he should assist. Soon, his vision fell over two women fighting against Roman's army.

These two were rather pretty women. Among the women he had seen and played around with, he believed that only Sophie could compare with these beauties.

These two women were none other than Aria and Luna. They caught his hungry and lustful gaze as he drooled a little.

Without waiting any further, Gilbert charged towards Aria.

Aria had no idea a 5 Star Warrior had targeted her. She was coolly dodging her opponents' attacks and launching Icicles in return.

She didn't need to aim much because she was encircled by opponents.

Every time she killed a few warriors around her, more would come and take their places. However, not a single one of these soldiers had managed to scratch her.

The same went on with Luna. Her Wind Abilities had gotten even better, and she managed to nonchalantly dodge her opponent's attacks as if she was dancing. She released Wind Spheres and blasted the soldiers ahead of her.

For a few seconds, there was an open area ahead of her, which was immediately occupied with more soldiers.

The two were the ones who had killed most soldiers on this battlefield. Roman's soldiers feared them more than anything at this moment.

The two seemed like goddesses of war and destruction!

As Aria continued to launch icicles at her opponents, she was surprised when her icicles were suddenly intercepted by thin wind blades.

Naturally, she gazed at the source of these wind blades and raised her head.

Her eyes widened in shock as she noticed a warrior flying in the sky, leering at her. Aria had a bad feeling as she stared at this warrior.

She could sense that this warrior wasn't using Wind Ardor to levitate. He was using pure Ardor to fly in the air.

This made her realize that this was a 5 Star Warrior.

She immediately shouted out, "Get back! This is a 5 Star Warrior. We need to support our leader immediately and retreat!"

Her voice was very loud and nearly all the Heretical Paladins heard her words.

They all were shocked to hear there was a 5 Star Warrior on this battlefield. They immediately raised their heads to see Gilbert flying high with a calm expression on his face.

Gilbert had also heard Aria's words and chuckled impishly.

"You think you can escape?"

An invisible pressure was exerted on all the warriors and soldiers in the area. Gilbert didn't have great control over his Ardor so he couldn't target only Heretical Paladins.

The force of his Ardor compelled all the troops and warriors in that region to be crushed. Aria and Luna were no different.

Gilbert slowly landed in front of Aria and spoke, "What's your name?"

Aria didn't like the way Gilbert was looking at her. She was rooted to the ground, delivering the most venomous gaze she could muster at Gilbert.

Gilbert didn't seem to appreciate her venomous glare. He spoke with a frown, "You do realize that I hold your life in my hands. If you don't respond, I will be forced to be vicious to you. Now, neither of us wants that. So, just answer my question, beauty."

As he stated those remarks, he had a really nasty expression on his face.

However, Aria remained utterly silent. She had no intention of going along his order.

"Hmph. It seems that you don't understand what's good for you. Since that's the case. Die," Gilbert spoke as he released wind blades at her.

Those wind blades weren't actually targeting her life. What they targeted were here clothes. He wanted to strip her naked in front of all these soldiers.

He wanted to make her lose that worthless pride and submit to him!

However, he never expected his Wind Blades to be intercepted by a dozen of dense Sword Qi.

Gilbert scowled angrily as he glared in the direction these Sword Qi emerged. He noticed Noah coming towards him, a furious expression on his face.

Sword Qi emerged from his body and revolved around him wildly. It formed a dense and sharp domain that struck Roman a couple of times before throwing him far away.

Roman was bleeding profusely as he stared in Noah's direction with horror evident in his eyes.

'He has stopped playing around with me. Why did he use the Sword Domain so suddenly?'

"I really don't know who you are. But you have pissed me off," Noah spoke as he stepped towards Gilbert.

Gilbert snorted in response as he heard those words. He looked back at Aria and Luna and noticed a hopeful yet anxious look in their eyes.

He instantly understood that these women admired Noah. If he broke Noah in front of them, they were bound to give up on their worthless pride and submit to him.

After coming to this conclusion, he instantly flew in Noah's direction.

Meanwhile, Noah took a rather unfamiliar stance before whispering, "Sword Domain – Crouching Tiger Thrust!"
