Zip. A second later, Noya soundlessly teleported to the base of the city wall.
The battle had only gone on for less than a minute, but the center of the battlefield was filled with gore, blood, broken bones and dead bodies.
As the blood accumulated on the ground, it formed streams of blood. The stench of blood and gore filled the air thickly, like a fog that would not disperse.
The battlefield was filled with the sounds of killing, screaming, shouting, as all sorts of lethal attacks were unleashed. Within half a second of Noya’s appearance, two musket shots and five arrows flew towards where he stood. These weren’t aimed at him but just happened to fly past him.
It was a brutal scene.
Noya didn’t tarry long. Zip. He quickly jumped to a one-eyed mountain demon’s back and then jumped off again, crossing over 600 feet to arrive at the second city wall.
Once again, he immediately moved from where he landed, not giving the surrounding soldiers the chance to notice him. When he reappeared again, he was only 300 feet from the Magic Tower.
It was in this manner that he penetrated Orida Fortress. In the midst of the chaos, no one would notice a vaguely visible shadow.
Being separated by a mere 300 feet, Noya could see the low wall that surrounded the Magic Tower. The wall was only 9 feet tall, and within it could be seen a splendorous divine light. The divine light was blinding, making it impossible for him to jump in as quickly as he did before.
He had no idea what he would find within the walls and had no choice but to proceed cautiously.
Thirty feet out from the wall, the Silver-white Shield Warriors formed a defensive wall. There were many Warriors, some of whom were Level-7 and even one that had reached Level-8.
Of course, if it were one-on-one, he would not even spare this character a glance. He could kill him in an instant. However, here on the battlefield, these types of Warriors could be very troublesome. They were on the alert and could discover his traces. Once he was spotted, he would be tangled up fighting with the Warriors and waste a lot of time.
He was on a strict time limit and had no time to waste.
Noya adjusted his angle of approach, steering clear from the Level-8 Warrior. He sped towards the low wall of the Magic Tower.
Suddenly, one of the Level-7 Shield Warriors noticed Noya. He shouted out an alarm, “Assassins, alert!”
Boom! A resounding clang sounded out. All the Shield Warriors had raised their shields and used them to form a seemingly impenetrable wall.
At this point, Noya had yet to activate the power of the Oath ring. Although the ring’s powers could be constantly active, it had a weakness. In the corporeal state, Noya’s vision would be limited. Things would appear blurry and dark, and right now, he needed to be able to see what was going on within the walls.
However, he had underestimated these Shield Warriors. They were indeed the elites of the kingdom. The defensive wall was formed instantaneously.
Time was tight. He had no other choice but to quickly break through.
Adjusting his angle, he increased his speed. An instant later, he stepped onto a shield, stepping down hard and employing his demonic strength. He immediately crushed the Level-4 Warrior holding the shield to death, using the rebound to launch himself upwards and forward, towards the next shield.
Shing, shing! Sharp blades stabbed out from within the shield wall, pursuing Noya. However, it was to no avail, as the blades could not keep up with the demon’s quick speed.
Watching as Noya was about to jump over the walls, the Level-7 Warrior that discovered him immediately shouted, “Hold it!”
He dashed towards Noya, flinging his shield towards Noya and cutting off his route.
“Pitiful strength,” Noya laughed coldly. His body vanished, and he reappeared beside the dashing Warrior. Suddenly, both his legs were wrapped around the Warriors neck, and he spun his body. No one saw how he did it but all of a sudden, the Level-7 Warrior’s neck was twisted and broken, and his body was thrown backwards into the rest of the pursuing Warriors.
Crash. The rest of the Warriors were mostly around Level-4. As the heavy corpse was thrown into their way, it caused them to trip over, crushing a few of them in the process.
Noya made use of this opposing force to flip himself over the yard wall, stepping into the sacred area inside the walls.
Hisss. The demonic energy on his body clashed with the divine light, causing green smoke to rise up, further blocking Noya’s vision.
“Damn it, this divine light!” Noya squinted his eyes, peering at the area in front of him. There were two groups of people. One group was made of priests who were knelt on the ground, praying. The other group was made of High Elves, and this group was the one responsible for the deep vortex in the sky.
Noya quickly identified his target. He was standing right in the middle of all the High Elves, and his body shone with blinding light. His body emanated strong energy vibrations.
It’s him! Noya thought. He immediately activated the Oath ring.
