*Aooo!*

The wolf howled in pain while glaring at Noel, never expecting that a human could do something like this. It endured the pain and charged at him again, planning to kill him this time.

When the wolf was about to pounce on him, Noel's thought changed.

'Woah, this wolf is quick.'

Although the wolf's speed was still within Noel's imagination, he acted like he was surprised to evoke the emotion for the defense. When a person was surprised, they either stood still or used their reflex to act.

Normal people would surely be standing still, but Noel had a trained body and reflex, so this surprise was just a means for him to use his reflex.

And that reflex allowed Noel to strike the wolf's right foot from below, knocking it up.

*Aoo?!*

The wolf was dumbfounded because that strike somehow blocked his paw. Although the claws managed to withstand the sharpness of the blade, they couldn't stop the force from Noel's sword.

Now that the paw was knocked back, the wolf had to land on the ground again and find another way to attack him.

But Noel's emotion changed once again.

Looking at the body that was about to crash into him, a thought arose in his mind. 'The wolf will crash onto me.'

In that instant, the thought became fear and that fear boosted Noel's speed, allowing him to wave his sword once again, striking the demon's body.

The power from this sword wasn't much and the demon's skin managed to stop the blade with only a hollow wound. But the force still knocked the wolf to the side, moving it away from him.

'This is not enough. I have used Fear (Quick), Contempt (Precise), and Surprise (Defense), but I haven't killed the demon yet. I guess the Fear lowers my strength more than I expected. Still, I can't really use any other abilities while using my Everchanging Emotion Sword Style… No, wait…'

Noel thought of something in this battle.

Although he was disappointed in the result, the trio who had been watching him this whole time had a different opinion. They were utterly shocked by his battle.

"Did you see it, Stella?" Zion sucked a cold breath.

"Yeah." Stella nodded in agreement, realizing why he could become a Spirit Wielder.

"I can see three different swings as if he has three different personalities. The first swing is precise. It might not be at your level yet, but that kind of precision is hard to find among other groups.

"The second swing has speed, but it feels like the sword turns blunt. If you look at the Spiritual Energy emitting from the sword, you can see that it spreads a bit to increase the area of impact. It is a swing to protect himself.

"Last but not least, that quick strike… If it was not a demon but a human, they would have died from that sword. Looking at these three strikes alone, you can see the balance is lacking. In other words, he has more strikes to unleash. Have you heard this swordsmanship?"

"No. Is it his self-created swordsmanship?" Stella narrowed her eyes, judging Noel.

"Are you serious? Do you know how hard it is to create your own swordsmanship? He is supposed to be someone who just learned how to fight a year ago, right? Do you think he can create swordsmanship with his current experience?"

The answer was obvious to most people. There was no way someone could create unique swordsmanship, especially without training. Noel had been lazy in his entire life, so they couldn't believe it either.

However, Stella still said, "There is no telling whether he has a teacher or not. That teacher might be teaching him this swordsmanship, but if he doesn't have a teacher…"

She paused for a moment. Even if she didn't finish her words, Zion and Jonathan already knew what she wanted to say.

"Yeah, Noel's talent might be higher than anyone can see…"

But they were going to be shocked once again because Noel had thought of another way of using his technique.

The injured wolf was glaring at him, wondering how to kill Noel. This entire time, the wolf had shrouded its body with Spiritual Energy to increase his physical ability, but Noel seemed composed thorought the battle.

The wolf had to find another way to kill Noel. Instead of utilizing its speed, the wolf decided to overwhelm him.

It gathered a huge amount of energy in its mouth and shot a blue beam.

"Hu…" Noel took another deep breath while raising his weapon. Anger began to rise in his heart as if he was mad at the wolf who didn't come to him anymore.

The Spiritual Energy around his body began to flicker as he infused his Spirit Weaponry into this strike.

The Spirit Weaponry was the Sword Saint's ability that allowed him to cut down Spiritual Energy itself. So, the moment Noel swung his sword downward, the Spiritual Energy flew forward and struck the beam, splitting it into two.

"What? He split the Spiritual Energy into two?" Stella dropped her jaw to the ground. This was the first time she had seen something like this. If it was a Spirit Ability, she wouldn't be so shocked. But what Noel showed was pure Swordsmanship.

Although he was shocked as well, Jonathan stepped forward while waving his hand because one of the beams went directly at them. He used his Telekinesis to push the air forward. When it touched the beam, it felt like there was a barrier on its way, causing the beam to disperse to the area.

"A swordsmanship that can even cut down the Spiritual Energy… With that alone, I'm convinced that Noel is strong." Jonathan muttered while blocking the beam.

"What kind of monster has our Demon Relief Squad got this time?" Zion scratched the back of his head. "This couldn't be called a battle anymore. Noel is simply bullying the Advanced Level Demon with only his Swordsmanship. If he starts using his Spirit Abilities, I don't know what will happen…"
