Born Sacred

Chapter 277: Killing Seventh Order Monster

Looking up at the sky, streaks of dark golden rainbow light pierced through the air, shattering vast stretches of the void. The entire battlefield fell into an uneasy silence.

"Seeking death!"

At that moment, a furious roar exploded across the heavens from an even greater altitude.

Five immensely powerful figures appeared high in the sky.

Two belonged to the Demon Subduing Alliance, while the remaining three were Demonized Monster.

All three of those 7-Order Demonized Monsters belonged to the Gray Demon Clan.

The forces fighting against the Demon Subduing Alliance consisted of both the Gray Demon Clan and the Mountain Ridge Gian Beasts. However, there were three separate battlefields between the two sides. Since both races ruled vast territories and neither was willing to submit to the other, they naturally had no intention of casually joining forces. Otherwise, they would have had to fight each other first just to determine who would lead.

As a result, the Gray Demon Clan and the Mountain Ridge Giant Beasts each launched attacks on separate fronts, creating their own battlefields. Only the largest frontline battlefield was jointly assaulted by both races.

On the Royal Demon City front, it was clearly the Gray Demon Clan leading the offensive. Even among the 6th-Order combatants on the battlefield, the majority belonged to the Gray Demon Clan.

"Gray Kite, Gray Scale, hold them off. I’ll go down and kill that human."

The speaker was a 7th-Order Gray Demon over a hundred meters tall. His eyes burned with killing intent as he stared at Noah.

Whenever Noah unleashed his attacks, he always targeted the strongest 6th-Order monsters first. Many of those slain elites belonged to the Gray Demon Clan.

With such heavy losses, how could they not be enraged?

Moreover, the strength Noah had displayed alarmed them greatly. Despite being only at the 6th Order, he already possessed combat power comparable to that of a 7th-Order powerhouse.

If he were allowed to advance to the 7th Order, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This was undoubtedly a top-tier Awakener prodigy.

Someone like that had to die.

"Kill him and return immediately," the other two 7th-Order Gray Demons agreed without hesitation.

"You wish!"

The two 7th-Order experts from the Demon Subduing Alliance flew into a rage and immediately launched their attacks. However, their assaults were intercepted by the other two 7th-Order Gray Demons, preventing them from providing any support.

The 7th Order Gray Demon, standing well over a hundred meters tall, descended from the sky completely unhindered.

The moment its colossal figure broke through the cloud layer, a suffocating pressure swept across the battlefield.

Countless soldiers instinctively raised their heads.

Some felt their heart skip a beat.

Others couldn’t even breathe properly.

This was the aura of a true 7th Order existence.

The battlefield’s supreme predators.

Until now, the battle between the two factions’ 7th Order powerhouse had remained relatively restrained.

The reason was simple.

Although the Gray Demon Clan possessed three 7th Order experts while the Demon Subduing Alliance only had two, numerical superiority didn’t guarantee victory.

The Alliance’s 7th-Order experts had survived countless life-and-death battles. Their combat experience was terrifying.

If the fight became a desperate struggle, neither side would emerge unscathed.

A cornered 7th-Order expert was capable of unleashing unimaginable destruction.

Even if they died, they could easily drag an opponent down with them.

For beings who stood at the pinnacle of the Remnant World, such an outcome was unacceptable.

A 7th-Order Demonized Monster wasn’t merely a powerful fighter.

It was the pillar of an entire race.

A ruler.

A symbol of authority.

A single death could affect thousands of kilometers of territory and millions of subordinate creatures.

Because of this, both sides had been extremely cautious.

Neither side was willing to force the other into a battle to the death.

But Noah had changed everything.

His appearance had completely shattered the balance.

A 6th-Order Awakener possessing combat power comparable to a 7th-Order expert was simply too terrifying.

Worse still, he was still growing.

Every minute he remained alive increased the threat he posed.

The Gray Demon Clan could already imagine the future.

If Noah successfully advanced to the 7th Order, he would likely become a nightmare capable of threatening even their strongest leaders.

Such a person absolutely could not be allowed to survive.

Even if they had to take risks.

Even if they had to expose themselves.

Even if they had to temporarily abandon the battlefield.

Noah had to die.

Immediately.

As Gray Fang descended from the sky, countless members of the Demon Subduing Alliance felt despair.

A 7th-Order powerhouse personally targeting a 6th-Order Awakener?

How was that any different from a mountain crushing an ant?

"Run!"

Several Alliance experts shouted simultaneously.

"Commander, retreat!"

"Get out of there!"

"Don’t fight him head-on!"

Panic spread through the ranks.

Yet Noah remained standing exactly where he was.

His expression didn’t change.

His breathing remained steady.

Even his grip on the bow didn’t tighten.

It was as if the terrifying monster descending from the heavens wasn’t worth his attention.

Gray Fang noticed this immediately.

And it enraged him.

As a supreme existence of the Gray Demon Clan, wherever he went, countless creatures trembled before him.

Yet this insignificant human showed not the slightest hint of fear.

The disrespect was unbearable.

"Human!"

Gray Fang’s voice boomed like thunder.

"You dare ignore me?"

Before the final word had even finished echoing across the battlefield—

Whoosh!

A brilliant arrow shot forward.

The arrow traveled so fast that it appeared as a streak of golden light cutting through space itself.

Its target wasn’t Gray Fang.

Instead, it struck a nearby 6th-Order Gray Demon.

The monster had been celebrating moments earlier.

The arrival of a 7th-Order clan leader had filled it with confidence.

It had even stopped retreating.

Then the arrow arrived.

Boom!

The Gray Demon’s head exploded instantly.

Blood and fragments scattered through the air.

Its enormous corpse crashed to the ground.

Dead.

The battlefield fell silent.

Noah had just ignored a 7th-Order powerhouse to kill another 6th-Order Gray Demon.

The provocation couldn’t have been more blatant.

The veins on Gray Fang’s forehead bulged.

The murderous intent in his eyes surged to an unprecedented level.

Meanwhile, Noah calmly shifted his gaze toward the approaching giant.

A translucent status panel appeared before him.

----------------------------------------------------------------

[Gray Fang (Gray Demon Clan, Demonized Monster)]

[Order: 7th-Order]

[Attributes]

Strength: 321,000,000

Agility: 278,000,000

Constitution: 300,000,000

Spirit: 256,000,000

[Skill]

[Combat Art Mastery : 120%]

--------------------------------------------------------------

120%

Noah carefully examined every number.

Compared to Gray Mastiff, whom he had previously killed, Gray Fang was incomparably stronger.

The difference wasn’t measured in percentages.

It was measured in entire realms.

Gray Fang’s weakest attribute was still several times greater than Gray Mastiff’s strongest.

His Constitution alone exceeded three hundred million.

Such durability would make most 6th-Order attacks completely meaningless.

Even more troublesome was the Epic-grade skill listed on the panel.

Although it was only Level 2, Epic skills were fundamentally different from ordinary abilities.

Each one possessed extraordinary destructive power.

A low-level Epic skill could often outperform a high-level Rare skill.

Furthermore, these numbers represented only Gray Fang’s normal state.

Every high-ranking Demonized Monster possessed powerful burst techniques.

Gray Fang was no exception.

Once those abilities were activated, his attributes would rise dramatically.

In fact, Noah estimated that Gray Fang’s full-power state would likely surpass even the Demon Lord’s previous peak combat strength.

A terrifying opponent.

Perhaps the strongest enemy Noah had faced since arriving in this world.

Yet instead of fear, excitement gradually appeared in Noah’s eyes.

His blood began to boil.

The stronger the enemy—

The more experience.

The better the rewards.

And the greater the opportunity to test the limits of his newly acquired power.

Far above, Gray Fang finally arrived.

His enormous shadow covered the battlefield.

The ground trembled beneath his presence.

Then, with eyes burning like crimson suns, he stared directly at Noah.

"You’ve killed enough members of my clan."

A terrifying pressure exploded outward.

"Now..."

"It’s your turn to die."

"7th Order... not bad."

Noah nodded slightly after examining Gray Fang’s attributes.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

Among 7th Order powerhouses, Gray Fang could only be considered average. Such strength might be enough to intimidate others, but it wasn’t enough to make Noah feel threatened.

On the contrary, he was somewhat disappointed.

He had expected a stronger opponent.

"insignificant ant... die!"

Gray Fang had no intention of wasting time.

The longer he remained here, the greater the risk on the battlefield above.

The Demon Subduing Alliance’s 7th Order experts were already being held back by his companions. If he delayed for too long, they might decide to fight desperately.

That was not an outcome he wanted.

Dark magic patterns instantly lit up across Gray Fang’s colossal body.

The runes glowed like rivers of molten darkness, spreading from his chest to every part of his massive frame.

Boom!
