Chapter 162: Victory

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

"Attack them!"

"Hurry up!"

The demons were still skirmishing the city. Because they had been fighting since yesterday, they were already pretty tired. There were some who even thought that the Saintess had abandoned them.

"Don't give up!"

"The Saintess will bring us victory."

"Haaa!"

The Holy Knights kept raising their spirits to avoid the worst possible scenario. The Saintess wouldn't abandon them, so they had to stop the demons no matter what.

*Roar!*

*Bam!*

One of the demons somehow reached the top of the wall and crushed the top part before trying to jump down to the city.

"Keep the demon here and kill it!"

"Don't let the people die!"

"Attack!"

The soldiers and the Holy Knights immediately headed straight to the demon.

When the Holy Knights tried to attack the demon, the latter somehow stood still as if its mind was blank, not knowing what to do.

"Huh?"

"The demon didn't move?"

"The demon allowed us to kill it?"

The soldiers were confused because this never happened in the past few weeks. However, they soon heard a shout from the soldiers.

"Wait!"

"Those demons! Those demons are fleeing?"

"!!!" All soldiers immediately went to the edge to confirm what they had said. Low Level Demons might not have intelligence and would attack anything before them. But their instinct didn't instruct them to attack a wall.

Upon that realization, the demons were confused on what to do and saw the forest, trying to return to his habitat.

Of course, not all demons would run back to their habitat. Some of them stayed and kept fighting against the soldiers, following their instinct to prey upon the humans.

"Only a portion of them return!"

"A portion? Are you blind? It's more than half. Look at the other sides too!"

The soldiers were scrambling on top of the wall while checking each other's situation. They reported the same. More than half of the demons returned to the forest as if they didn't have anything more to do.

It didn't take too long for them to realize that all the mushrooms in the demons' bodies had died. In other words, the demons were not under control anymore.

"There are no more mushrooms. They're not controlled anymore."

"In other words, the ones attacking us are just a normal Low Level Demons who only act upon instinct!"

"Listen up, soldiers! There is only one reason why the demon is not under control anymore!"

The people were listening attentively despite in a situation like this. After all, they had been wanting to hear one word coming from the Holy Knight Captain that had been leading them this whole time.

"The Saintess has defeated the demon leader! That's right. This is our VICTORY!" The Holy Knight Captain shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Uoooohhhh!" The soldiers let out a huge cry, startling everyone in the city. They didn't know why the soldiers were screaming uncontrollably.

"Listen up! The Saintess will soon return to the city. This is the time to show our might! Kill the rest of the demons!"

"Uoooohhhhh!" The spirited soldiers became even more ferocious. They knew that the demon leader had been defeated, so the only thing they had to do was to kill the rest of the demons that attacked their city.

Unlike the previous situation where they couldn't see any hope due to the continuous supply of demons, they could finally see hope. If they could defeat all these demons like how they did it in the past few weeks, they would be able to save the city.

Their spirit was at its peak. Even if they were tired, they knew what they did in the next few hours wouldn't be a waste.

"Attack!" The soldiers shouted as they showed a might that no one had ever seen before. They looked like a ferocious soldier that had gone through a hundred battles.

One of the people in the city asked the soldier who just climbed down the stairs to inform the people. "Sir Soldier. Is there something wrong?"

"The Saintess has defeated the demon leader. More than half of them have returned to the forest, so we can defeat the rest of the demons and finally save the city. The Saintess will surely return here not long after!"

When the people heard those words, some of them couldn't help but tear up. They had been suffering for the last few weeks. Their morales were very low. And now, the hope appeared.

"I'm glad… I'm glad I can survive."

"Uoh…"

Some fell down to the ground, some cheered. Nonetheless, all of them were happy.

"Please help us to spread the news. Just a few more hours! Just a few more hours we can eliminate all the demons!"

From that point on, the city was brimming with cheers. Even though the threat had yet to completely disappear, the festive mood had filled the city.

…

Meanwhile, the real hero that saved the city was none other than Noel.

Noel took a deep breath after confirming the death of the Undying Mushroom Demon. This might truly be the hardest mission he had gone so far.

All of his previous missions were quite easy because the demons were something that he could handle by himself. But an Advanced Level Demon was different. If he wasn't careful or the battlefield wasn't perfect, he would have died.

Still, it didn't change the fact that he managed to kill an Advanced Level Demon.

He then turned around, knowing that the Saintess had come to help him. And the one who would probably bring the Saintess was Anna.

As expected, he saw them standing on top of the tree. Since the situation was already safe, the Saintess formed a few small barriers that acted like stairs, allowing her to go down.

She walked to Noel while clenching her hands. She lowered her head to Noel and said, "Thank you… Thank you. Thank you for saving the city. I'm glad that the people are now safe."

Noel could feel her gratitude by the fact she said "Thank you" three times alone. However, Noel maintained his serious face and stopped the gratitude. "Don't thank us yet. We haven't completely solved the problem."
