"!!!" Noelle could hear the loud scream of an alien. She couldn't help but think, 'Is he struggling against those aliens? No. Based on his strength, he should have eliminated them by now…'
The worm-like alien plunged toward her, forcing Noelle to jump away.
She was a bit distracted, but fortunately, the worm wasn't as strong as she imagined.
'Is he struggling against another alien? A juvenile class? It has been a few minutes… sothing more than a juvenile class? Don't tell , is there another mature class alien?'
Noelle's heart skipped a beat. If there was indeed one, Nathan wouldn't be able to defeat it with his trick.
"I have to take down the enemy right now. He might not last longer…" Noelle gritted her teeth and stomped the ground as she summoned yet another familiar.
The alien bounced on the ground, trying to devour her. However, this figure appeared out of thin air and slashed the worm, extending his blade with his own Ena.
The blade slashed through the worm's flesh.
His body was fully covered in armor, but as if showing his dignity and identity, there was a golden crown on top of his helt.
He put his shield in front while retracting his blade as though he were ready to release another strike.
With a deep voice, the familiar asked, "For what reason do you little lass summon despite trying not to summon for over three months?"
"I need to kill this alien as quickly as possible."
"You are in a hurry. Who is actually important enough for you to be in this hurry? After all, the last ti you were in a hurry was when you summoned , causing an incomplete summon. Because of you, I couldn't bring my partner." The guy raised his shield and expanded it with his Ena.
The worm had recovered and tried to break apart the Ena, but to no avail. It only pushed the guy back for a bit, but nothing else.
"I know you don't like , but please shut up and help . You will know about it later."
The familiar fell silent for a mont before saying, "Fine by . I shall help you kill this worm. I promise you in my na as one of the 72 demons, Duke Murmur. Follow ."
As soon as Murmur finished his words, he retracted his shield and moved to the right side of the worm.
Noelle approached the worm from the other side.
Both of them covered their swords with Ena and extended their blades, striking at the worm at the sa ti.
Their blade wouldn't be long enough to cut the worm by themselves, but with one on the right and the other on the left, the required length to cut the alien was reduced greatly.
The worm flapped its body violently, not letting these two cut its body into two.
Murmur had been using less Ena compared to Noelle, which caused the worm to instinctively think he was weaker. As a result, the worm spun its body toward Murmur.
Murmur stomped the ground and expanded the shield once again, blocking the entire body.
Once stopped, Noelle took this opportunity to wave her sword downward, unleashing the long crescent sword strike to cut a part of the worm's body.
Obviously, the top part seed to be regenerating due to the symbiote, but the crown on top of Murmur's head released a purple glow as he pointed his hand at the cut area. "Death Seal."
The purple glow moved like a shock wave, causing the alien's body to rot instead of regenerating.
After that, both of them continued cutting the worm. The latter struggled, but it couldn't dig into the ground as the mouth hadn't regenerated.
Hence, Noelle and Murmur cut the worm piece by piece. They kept applying the death seal to lock its regenerative trait, allowing them to fully kill the worm.
Murmur said, "Your swordsmanship has improved trendously compared to three months ago. However, it's still lacking in power and control. If you keep progressing at this rate, it won't be long for you to surpass in swordsmanship.
"Despite not summoning , you seem to have learned my swordsmanship. I guess you're too embarrassed to admit that my technique is superior.
"However, don't forget your debt to . You have to fix the summoning and allow to bring my partner. If you can do that, I will allow you to utilize my power as much as you like." Murmur grinned.
Noelle's expression remained cold. This was the reason she didn't want to rely on his power, but the condition forced her to end the battle as quickly as possible. She said, "I know that, but I have no ti for this."
Without hesitation, she turned around and left the worm's corpse as if it were nothing.
Murmur glanced at her and muttered, "She is still too rash. She has made such a mistake when summoning . I can't help but wonder what mistake she will make later. And whoever is able to move her this much… slightly piques my interest."
Before following Noelle, Murmur clapped his hand. The crown glowed once again, this ti the shock wave flying in all directions.
"Pray for the fallen. Take your eternal rest, my enemy," Murmur muttered as the corpse started to rot. It wouldn't take too long for them to be reduced to nothing but the core.
Still, if he didn't go, he would disappear due to the distance.
"I should go too." Murmur chased after Noelle. She was standing in front of a boy with two beasts beside him.
Looking at the environnt, it was clear that there was a battle in this place before. In fact, the blood dying Nathan's clothes was already a testant to how dangerous the enemy was.
Despite not looking strong, it was impressive that Nathan was able to defeat all of these aliens.
However, his focus was taken by the black jackal next to him, sensing a familiar power coming from him.
On the other hand, Noelle said while clenching her hands, realizing it was her mistake. "Let's go back."
