System vs Rebirth-Novel



"Change of plan, I guess." Noel looked at his surroundings. The intense heat had made the demons cower. They knew that they would be burned alive if they stayed where they were.

But since the bat and the earthworm had been restrained by him earlier, Anna could finally move.

"Noel!" Anna jumped over the demons with a confident smile. "Shoot at me! We kill these demons."

It took Noel a second before understanding her request. Since the demons made a distance earlier, it meant Noel could jump into the air again.

Meanwhile, Anna landed on his previous spot as if she wanted to be surrounded by demons.

However, instead of flying away, Noel turned around as soon as he reached the apex of his jump and gathered Spiritual Energy on his finger.

With a single wave of his hand, a black bird emerged and headed straight to Anna.

"This one is quite troublesome." Anna clicked her tongue, but her confidence hadn't disappeared. She jumped into the air and concentrated her lightning and Spiritual Energy on the tip of her blade.

Noel's Undying Phoenix might be the strongest attack that Noel had. It could completely evaporate anything that was hit by it. Yet, Anna didn't hesitate to stab it with her sword.

Surprisingly, the moment the tip of her blade touched the phoenix, the latter lost its form and turned back to the original fire. And that fire soon dispersed due to the concentrated energy and element.

In other words, the fire that powered up the Undying Phoenix actually dispersed in all directions and fell down like meteors.

This was Anna's plan to kill a lot of demons in one single swoop.

The demons were shocked and tried to protect themselves, but even when an Advanced Level Demon put up barriers, the Undying Phoenix could easily melt it and continue on its path until it reached the demons or the ground.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons were panicking as they tried to run away to save themselves. The demons in this place might have different behavior, but it would mean that they understood the importance of their lives.

Noel and Anna took advantage of their differences to cause chaos among themselves.

"As expected, if only they were normal demons, they wouldn't think much about the fire." Anna smiled confidently.

Since Anna was moving upward and Noel had begun to fall, they ended up meeting in the middle. Obviously, Noel caught her, making sure she fell with him.

"Oi! Why are you dragging me down? I'm about to use this momentum to reach the earthworm and the bat." Anna gritted her teeth.

"No. You're going with me. Change of plans." Noel looked around. From his attack earlier, he managed to kill around thirty demons. In total, they had killed more than fifty demons, leaving only another fifty to defeat.

Hence, Noel wanted to reduce their number even further. "Can you control your lightning around?"

"Go for it." Anna smiled, knowing what he wanted.

"In that case…" Noel summoned his Undying Fire and formed a giant cylinder with the help of Flame Conjuring Ability.

After that, Anna covered the fire with her lightning. With this, the fire had no other choice but to get dragged around.

Anna controlled the lightning to fly to the demons, making this giant cylinder flame like an earthworm that wanted to devour them. The difference was that this flame would reduce them to ashes once they got caught.

The demons tried to escape while the Peak Level Demons charged forward, messing with Anna and Noel to cancel their abilities.

"Hahaha. Go!" Anna laughed out loud while moving the flame to the Peak Level Demons.

Since the rat was the first demon that would be engulfed, it decided to stop it with its claws.

The energy of the claws increased drastically as his body turned around.

That was the time Noel made his move. Since the weaker demons were pushed back by the fire and the two Peak Level Demons tried to stop them, it meant no one was watching out for the rat.

Noel used his Split Step to confuse the Peak Level Demons. His shadow moved to the left while the real body headed to the right and continued toward the rat.

*Roa—!*

As one would expect from Peak Level Demons, their intelligence was enough to realize what Noel wanted to attempt and hurriedly warn the other.

But that roar only alarmed the rat, not helping him with anything. After all, Noel had reached the rat when the latter turned around.

"Goodbye." Noel smiled as he struck the rat's neck with his fire-covered sword.I think you should take a look at

*Scree!*

The rat screamed in pain. Noel wanted a clean swing, but it seemed that the rat's skin was tougher than expected.

His blade only penetrated a quarter of the entire neck. It was fatal, but the rat should still be able to launch a few more attacks before dying.

"Not enough!" Noel changed his approach. Instead of the Sword Fire, he used Ignition Sword, creating an explosion inside the rat's neck.

"!!!"

*Boom!*

The rat couldn't do anything as the explosion engulfed its throat and organs. The force also tore the skin and ligaments connecting the head and the body.

Ultimately, the head was severed and flew into the air.

As for the flame cylinder that was about to fight the rat, it shifted its path and avoided Noel before heading to the remaining two Peak Level Demons.

Noel looked around, seeing the other lower level demons. He placed his hand on the ground.

Frost Control.

In an instant, the ground was covered by a thin layer of ice. The ice had a radius of fifteen meters.

The demons lost their connection to the earth. Even if they could dig the ground, the ice prevented them.

On the other hand, Noel was the user, so he had gotten used to moving on top of the ice. He slid forward and used the Circular Sword Strike to kill the confused demons. After that, he began to aim for the rest of the demons, leaving Anna to fend off the two Peak Level Demons and the other demons near her.

As much as Noel wanted to go all out by bringing one big ability after another, it would prove to be detrimental to his mission if he wanted to finish it within 24 hours. After all, he needed to spend more energy, which meant he had to recover his energy.

That was why once the situation was under control, Noel changed his approach from big abilities to only Frost Control, one of his first and weakest abilities.

This Frost Control might not be powerful, but if he used it creatively, it could be as fatal as the rest.

Ultimately, Noel killed one demon after another while Anna dissolved the lightning that controlled his flame and let the flame hit a lot of demons and kill them.

After that, Anna also followed Noel's approach and handled the Peak Level Demons with her sword.

Even without saying anything, they knew each other's plans. Noel eventually killed the remaining demons while Anna bought him time from the Peak Level Demons.

Once there was no more nuisance, Noel and Anna finally fought one Peak Level Demon respectively.

Since Noel could fly, he fought the bat.

The bat kept using the sound waves to wreak havoc, trying to injure him. Unfortunately for the bat, Noel skillfully flew around and even controlled his Undying Fire Feathers to make an unpredictable flying path.

The bat, of course, flew around to avoid it, but coupled with Noel's blade, the bat ended up having no place to go. Eventually, the Fire Feathers hit the bat's wings, burning them down.

The bat could do nothing when its wings were gone. It didn't take too long for Noel to kill the bat.

Even though the bat was a Peak Level Demon, it looked like Noel could easily kill the bat.

The same applied to the earthworm. Now that Anna didn't have to worry about other demons attacking her, she could control her lightning to completely overwhelm the earthworm.

The earthworm was covered with tough skin that seemed to have been reinforced by the rock from this place. However, Anna's lightning had a far higher penetrating power.

Once she used it to its fullest potential, the earthworm couldn't stop it anymore. In the end, a few holes were created in the earthworm's body. After a while, the earthworm finally died.

It looked like the Peak Level Demons never stood a chance in a one-on-one fight.

However, Noel and Anna believed that had to be the case. After all, a Spirit Grandmaster was supposed to be able to overwhelm a Peak Level Demon. So, if they couldn't achieve such a feat, it would be impossible for them to defeat the Superior Demon.

Besides, Noel had once fought against multiple Peak Level Demons by himself. Even if the demons' behaviors were somewhat different, it would be a problem if he had a hard time against them.

"It seems that the enemies are tougher than we expected. I've used twenty percent of my Spiritual Energy. We might not be able to clear the entire nest if this continues… So, let's change our plan." Noel suggested.

"You can make a new plan. I'll take out the Demon Crystals and absorb my portions. You should have come up by then, right?" Anna nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Noel didn't mind the arrangement since this was the most efficient way to use their time.
