Chapter 1253: Killing the Ancient Demon

”No. Everything is going according to plan.” Noelʼs expression turned solemn. This was the crossroads.

When the octopus went berserk, the flow of the spiritual energy from within its body changed tremendously.

It sent forth all the energy from all the tentacles. With the additional spins on the tentacles, it produced eight tornadoes at the same time, surrounding Noel. Enjoy exclusive chapters from mvl

If Noel tried to escape between the gaps, he would be entangled or even shred by the two tornadoes. Hence, Noel had to fight the tornadoes head-on.

The octopus seemed to be planning to rip him apart with all the tornadoes before joining all of them to create a massive one that would engulf the soldiers on the surface.

Noel waved his left hand. In that instant, the chilling energy spread in all directions and started freezing the water.

”!!!” The octopus was surprised by the sudden emergence of a giant ice crystal, but it was too late to stop.

He scraped the ice crystals from all directions, gradually making his way toward Noel.

Noel was just buying time for his impending doom.

Even Anna couldnʼt help but furrow her eyebrows. ʼDoes he have another plan? Should I help?ʼ

All of a sudden, a hole was made within the ice crystal as blue light leaped off the crystal before the water slowed it down.

The blue light reached one of the tentacles and cut it completely.

”Reee!” The tentacle was crying in pain, but the attack didnʼt stop there. The remaining tentacle was frozen as the ice made its way toward the body.

The octopus used its own energy to stop the ice, but Noelʼs real intention was to actually use the ice as a surface for his sword strike to travel.

The moment the ice stopped, the sword strike hit the skin and reached the octopusʼ body.

”Raaa!”

Anna dropped her jaw. ”He… He actually created an ice crystal and destroyed the inside so that he could create a small space where there was no water restriction? And used that to gain his top speed and release his strength…”

The octopus was angry, especially since the ice crystal had begun to disappear. It immediately sent several of its tentacles to Noel, trying to surround him, but to no avail.

Noel skillfully escaped and looped around, heading to the three tentacles that were on the other side of the ice crystals.

Before the tornadoes were able to merge, Nathans struck them.

Unfortunately, he could only leave behind a big wound on the tentacles instead of cutting them off.

Nevertheless, four of the tornadoes had gone.

If he could keep this up, he should have no problem defeating the octopus.

The four tentacles chased after him and created a complicated flow of water, which would carry him to one of the tornadoes eventually.

Noel couldnʼt resist this kind of attack, but it was clear the octopus had abandoned its plan to destroy the ship.

Hence, Noel signaled to Anna to come down.

Anna didnʼt know what was going on, but she immediately jumped into the water.

Noel gathered his strength and released his freezing ability to create a pillar toward the octopus.

The octopus didnʼt care. It was ready to get struck by this ice pillar as long as it managed to take down Noel. This was a bad move from Noel, considering he would be destroyed by the four tornadoes with nothing to protect him.

The pillar ended up stabbing the octopus giantʼs body.

Meanwhile, Anna could see what Noel was aiming for. Lightning spheres emerged and gathered in front of her. The lightning spheres charged to the center, creating an even more powerful lightning sphere.

This sphere released a beam made of lightning, destroying the inside of the ice pillar. The ice evaporated in an instant, creating a tunnel inside this pillar.

The moment she entered the pillar, Noel closed it with his ice, preventing any more water from rushing in.

She was smiling. This was Noelʼs plan. Now that there was no water between her and the octopus, nothing would be able to stop her.

She held her sword before launching herself toward the other side.

”!!!” the octopus seemed to have realized it and tried to break the tunnel.

”Too late!” Selena sped up, instantly crossing the part where the demon was going to shatter.

Noticing Anna would deal a lot of damage, the demon chose to go for mutual destruction by focusing on Noel.

”Kh!” Noel gritted his teeth. He activated all the runes in his body and used his sword strike to defend himself, but the four tornadoes were too much for him to handle, especially with him maintaining a big pillar.

Still, everything was worth it. The moment Anna reached the other side of the pillar, her energy erupted.

A flash of golden light illuminated the ocean, followed by an extra large explosion.

”Boom!”

The explosion shot the octopus upward and shattered the ice pillar that covered the surface.

”!!!” The people were shocked to see such a massive octopus. It was even sent flying for fifty meters.

Still, four of its tentacles had gone missing as Anna also cut three of them when sending him up.

Before the octopus could return to the sea, another ice pillar emerged from the water and pierced through the octopusʼ brain.

”Reee!” The octopus let out another cry, but it was too late. The moment it was stabbed, the ice spread and covered the octopus in a thick layer of ice, ultimately killing it.

”This…” The admiral gasped. ”This is the Ancient Demon? We won?”

The soldiers became even more excited, knowing that Noel and Anna had defeated the Ancient Demon.

The admiral noticed it and immediately shouted, ”You see that, men?! Itʼs time for us to clean up the rest of the demons! Kill!”

”Kill!” The soldiers roared and became even stronger, crushing all the demons that attacked the ship.

Anna emerged from the water with no visible injuries, but Noel was covered in wounds due to taking on the four tornadoes mostly with his physical bodies. But it was worth it.
