System vs Rebirth-Novel



Due to the fact that they were scouting the area, a few members of the Demon Beholder Squad weren't swallowed. They gathered at the edge of the hole, discussing the situation and wondering if they had to jump to help their people.

Unbeknownst to them, there were two more people who were discussing what they should do in this situation.

"What should we do?"

"I'm not sure."

They were Damian and Dimitri. They stood side by side, looking at the hole.

"The hole doesn't seem to be within the plan. In fact, even if I knew this was a trap, I would never imagine they had this kind of trap for us." Dimitri furrowed his eyebrows. Even as a former captain, he never encountered this level of trap.

"Well, I might not participate in the mission, but Noel surely told me about the mission. When I saw this hole, it seemed that the Supreme Devil Organization intentionally spread the information to bait the Demon Banner Army." Damian expressed his concern.

"I know. I'm still thinking about whether I should join or not. After all, I might have to expose my identity if I enter the hole." Dimitri frowned.

"So, your master's life is less than making your identity a secret?" Damian rolled his eyes.

But Dimitri simply added, "I simply believe in my master's potential. He might be able to escape this without my help. So, if I were to help him now, he might end up having future problems for no reason."

Dimitri and Damian were panicking as well. But they didn't act immediately since they had to remain as calm as possible to not make any mistakes in this already grave situation.

After some thought, Dimitri asked, "What are you planning to do? If you help him now, you might be able to get more favors, you know."

"What are you? Selling your own master?" Damian shook his head helplessly. "I can still faintly sense the badge in his hand. It seems that he has begun moving toward…"

Damian pointed at the mountain.

"It seems that the hole is connected to the secret passage of the Count Family. He must be heading toward the exit. But if I were the enemy, I would place a lot of people in this place to stop them. Won't it be better if he goes another way?" Damian was confused.

Dimitri said, "It's better to break through. If they go in the opposite direction, they have to be chased by the enemies for at least one hour since the exit will be in the Count Family's mansion."

"Fair enough. In that case, should we go around the mountain and ambush the enemies from behind? We will just reduce the enemies and let them do the rest." Damian gave a good suggestion.

Even Dimitri thought about agreeing to this arrangement.

But all of a sudden, they felt a presence coming from the bottom of the mountain. It was moving so fast toward the village.

"!!!" Dimitri and Damian turned their heads around, finding a person clad in lightning.

Dimitri instantly recognized that person and mumbled, "Anna Stargaze?"

When Damian heard that name, both of them suddenly disappeared, heading straight to Anna Stargaze.

Anna saw Dimitri and abruptly stopped.

Surprisingly, her face was completely pale. Some of her wounds reopened. In fact, she might be standing here with her willpower alone.

It was clear that Anna exerted her remaining energy to reach this place as quickly as possible. She used the second bridge they had prepared as an escape route to reach this place.

And when she saw Dimitri, she finally dropped to the ground and coughed up some blood.

"Oi, Anna Stargaze! Get a grip!" Dimitri had no obligation to help Anna, but since Anna was currently cooperating with his master, she couldn't die.

Anna hurriedly grabbed Dimitri's sleeve and shouted, "You have to go! Hurry up and save him!"

"Calm down. Your condition is deteriorating. And explain to me why you are like this!" Dimitri wanted to go immediately, but he had to understand the full picture first.

Anna gritted her teeth, enduring the pain. It seemed that she had to explain it, so she worded it as simply as possible so that Dimitri would leave as soon as possible.

"The reason why the Fist Arbiter and the Count agreed to cooperate with the Supreme Devil Organization was that they had no choice. The Strongest Demon Saint, a Spirit Transcendence…"

Dimitri opened his eyes wide and said, "Don't tell me, that Demon Saint is in the tunnel… Not good!"

Without hesitation, Dimitri disappeared from the area as he headed straight to the hole and jumped off.

"What?" Her words shocked even Damian. Even though the Supreme Devil Organization was a problem for the Muivell Kingdom, it didn't change the fact that there was a possibility that it would become an international organization.

So, the Greenwood Kingdom had been keeping an eye on the organization as well. That was why Damian knew what kind of being the strongest Demon Saint was.

'The Strongest Demon Saint, the one who is said to be on par with the Commander of the Demon Banner Army, a Spirit Transcendence.' Damian's body shook. He wondered if he should help as well, considering Dimitri was not enough to handle someone at that level.

"I have to go." Anna gritted her teeth, trying to exert her energy.

"Enough. Your condition is rapidly deteriorating. If this continues, you might die without being able to do anything."

"It's fine. I can keep going!" Anna took a deep breath and opened her mouth, "True Spirit—Hmph!"

The first two words were like thunder reverberating in his ears. He instinctively covered Anna's mouth and said in shock, "You… You can use it? No, even if you can use it, you shouldn't use it now. The moment you use it, you will seriously die!"

Damian gritted his teeth. "It seems that I have to remain here to make sure you don't become reckless. You are cooperating with him, so I don't think he wants you to die!"

Damian used his ice to gag her mouth and form a handcuff to tie her hands behind her. Anna was glaring at him, telling him to leave her alone. But Damian decided not to leave her alone.
