A Demon's Journey

Chapter 140 - Admitting Defeat

Nearly tens of Sword Qi were released from Noah's sword, and they attacked Spyro's body.

Spyro braced his body with Earth Ardor and took the attack head-on.

However, even though he had done his best to overestimate its power, he had still underestimated it.

The Sword Intent qi pierced past his Earth Ardor aura and tore his upper garment slightly. However, they soon came in contact with a metallic body and were dispersed immediately upon contact.

As the onlookers gazed at Spyro, they saw a metallic ardor that had remained underneath his clothes.

Some of them managed to recognize the Ardor and shouted, "That is a High Red Grade Spiritual Ardor! Young Master Spyro was actually wearing it underneath his clothes!"

Once this information spread within the pub, the people began to gasp in realization.

Many of them had a disgusted look on their faces as they glared at Spyro. They now understood why they lost against Spyro.

Even though they were convinced of their inferiority, in the back of their minds, they felt that the difference between them and Spyro couldn't be so exaggerated.

However, they did genuinely respect Spyro's power, so they ignored that voice in their minds.

But now, they instantly realized that this Spiritual Ardor played an important role in Spyro's victory.

This news destroyed their initial impression of Spyro.

A few people couldn't help but shout, "I never imagined a genius of the Stony Rock Sect would be so shameless."

"Now that I remember his pretentious tone and how he advised me, it makes me want to puke in abhorrence."

When Spyro heard these words from the public while he was just about to use his own technique. He nearly lost his concentration and failed to even send it in Noah's direction.

The Earth Ardor that he was going to launch at Noah exploded within his own body, resulting in internal injuries.

Noah looked surprised when he felt Spyro's Aura suddenly weaken. He was preparing his Sword Qi for an attack, but he didn't expect Spyro to be distracted by the words of the onlookers and actually make such a mistake.

His Enlightened Sword Heart prevented him from making any mistakes while using his techniques. The shouts of these people couldn't break his concentration or affect his technique at all. Thus, he was unable to understand what Spyro felt at this moment.

Even though a few of Spyro's internal organs were hurt because of that burst of his Earth Ardor, he managed to keep his crucial organs safe.

He noticed that Noah wasn't attacking him. He was even giving him the time to recover. There was a look of indifference in his eyes. It was as if no matter what Spyro did, he wouldn't be able to harm Noah.

As a genius, his pride was hurt.

He immediately decided to move and make Noah pay for underestimating him. He also sealed his ears to prevent himself from hearing the spectators.

This would prevent him from getting distracted by their words.

He moved forwards to punch Noah. As an Earth Elemental Cultivator, he was greatly confident in his physique and elemental strength.

In close combat, the Earth Element had no equal. He could use it to easily smash anyone standing in his way. His confidence wasn't unfounded, as this was usually quite true.

Even if Noah possessed Sword Intent Qi, he couldn't use it to block his attacks.

Once he was a few steps away from Noah, he suddenly felt Sword Qi revolving around in a circle with Noah as their center.

Before he could take another step forward, he felt his clothes and even his skin tear as multiple Sword Qi struck his body.

One of them even reached his pain and made him feel excruciating pain.

In the back of his mind, he was absolutely astonished. The reason for his astonishment was this zone Noah had created where he possessed absolute control over the Sword Qi.

According to the legends, this was none other than a Sword Domain!

'This kid has comprehended a Sword Domain?!'

As soon as that thought occurred in his head, he was very scared.

An expert who had comprehended Sword Domain was rare as a phoenix's feather. Only those Old Experts had managed to grasp a hint of Sword Domain, and that was by gathering a vast amount of experience under their belt.

There was only a single expert in the Glerian Kingdom who had comprehended an Intent Domain. His title was Silver Cruel Hawk, and he had comprehended a Wind Domain. He was a Demi-Beast with the blood of Hawks within his body. Thus he was innately connected to the Wind Element.

However, even the Silver Cruel Hawk was nearly hundreds of years old. Because he had gained the cultivation of 7 Star Warriors, he could live for a couple of thousands of years.

When Spyro focused on Noah, he had already taken a few steps back as he had no intentions to die just yet.

As arrogant he was, he was aware of his limits as well. He couldn't deal with an Intent Domain even if he tried his best. Besides, he was already injured by that burst of Earth Ardor in his body. Thus, he was no longer in ideal condition.

The kid ahead of him was clearly very young. To already be taking a step into the Sword Domain just stated how great his talent was. His potential was immeasurable.

Meanwhile, Sargan was going around, talking to people about the bet he had.

After Sargan said that he would bet 1000 Spirit Coins that Spyro would not even touch Noah, a few people approached him and accepted his wager.

They verified that he had the funds to place the wager and then made their own wagers on Spyro's capability to touch Noah.

Sargan accepted the wager with a bright smile. He knew Noah's abilities the best.

He had already known that Noah possessed Sword Domain. And he also knew that Noah wouldn't hold back on Spyro.

Thus, he was quite confident in winning this bet.

The men who put their hopes on Spyro began talking among themselves.

"Hehe… This kid doesn't realize that he has already lost. The disciples of the Stony Rock Sect pride themselves on their defensive skills. Moreover, young master Spyro is a genius even in that sect, so it's obvious he would hit this little kid no matter what cheap tricks he uses."

The other one agreed with this reasoning.

When Spyro's armor was revealed, unlike the other spectators, they didn't curse Spyro. They were, in fact, happy. This meant that Noah's attacks won't work on Spyro. And Spyro would be able to hit Noah. Once this occurred, they would gain a massive sum from the wager against Sargan.

However, they had no idea that Noah possessed Sword Domain in his arsenal.

Moreover, he had already used it on Spyro.

Although Spyro's armor was quite rare and valuable, along with possessing a great defensive use, it couldn't completely block Noah's Sword Qi attacks.

This was quite natural because the Armor only extended to his upper body and a bit of his Lower Body.

The multiple Sword Qi within the Sword Domain continued to strike Spyro and chip off his skin, until he spoke the following words.

"I give up."
