System vs Rebirth

Chapter 256 Fighting Together

”The receptionist of that brothel is a Spirit Wielder.”

When the vice captain of the Demon Observer Squad heard it, he chuckled and said, ”It seems that youʼre mistaken about something, Noel Ardagan. Do you think that lass can arrive here that fast if not for her running at full speed at all time?”

”!!!” Noel understood the hidden meaning behind those words. ”Wait. Donʼt tell me…”

”Of course, the only ones capable of following her at her pace was also my talented subordinates. I have brought an elite team with me and all of them are…”

Just like Noelʼs shock, the receptionist also had the shock of her life because the five knights from the Demon Banner Army suddenly released their aura. But more importantly, all of them are stronger than her. In other words, all of them were Spirit Wielder or stronger.

”…” Noel gulped down because the reinforcement this time was truly no joke.

The glasses guy smiled and said, ”In any case, Iʼm going to capture everyone here.”

”Wait a moment. It is said there will be an inspector coming tomorrow.”

”Hoh?” He smiled and corrected his statement earlier. ”An inspector is far more important than that guy… Iʼll leave that guy to you then and capture everyone else since you seem to have a grudge with them.”

It seemed that he could see whether Noel was lying or not since he easily accepted Noelʼs word and gave Noel the opportunity to solve that grudge by killing him.

Meanwhile, the rest of the knights had been captured by him, leaving only some people that were still hiding inside the mansion.

”…” The middle-aged man from the Supreme Devil Organization was speechless because his appearance was enough to turn around the situation.

Without waiting for Noelʼs response, the vice captain had leaped and entered the mansion through the second floorʼs balcony.

”I guess we still have the chance to kill this guy.” Anna smiled. This might be the first time they joined hands after her outburst that changed Noel a bit.

”Oh, yeah?!” Noel nodded but his mind was still overwhelmed because everything went so fast.

While they were thinking, the middle-aged man realized that he would be in trouble if the Spirit Grandmaster from earlier returned to capture him, so he ran away.

”!!!” Anna was the first to notice him and caught up to him with her speed and kicked the guy on the head.

The man easily raised his arm and stopped the kick that was infused by lightning, channeling that electricity to the ground.

”Kh.” The man gritted his teeth and grabbed Annaʼs leg before throwing her away.

Seeing both of them had started fighting, Noel also began to make his move, shaking off the unnecessary thoughts for the time being. He caught Anna so that she didnʼt crash into the wall before spreading his ice on the ground.

Not only did he slide by using the ice, but he also utilized this ice to make the man slip.

”!!!” The man realized Noelʼs plan and formed a spike of metal on the bottom of his shoes, allowing him to run on the ice.

However, Noelʼs intention was never to slip him. He just wanted to slow the enemy down while using that time to boost Anna with his Increase Agility and Strength Blessing Runes.

”Go!” After Noel boosted her ability, he threw her to the ground so that she could catch up to that guy.

Anna smiled and leaped forward, feeling the change in their fighting style. However, she felt a bit more comfortable this way because she knew there would be someone protecting her back.

The moment Anna caught up to the enemy, she gathered the electricity in her shoe to the point a dragon started to form around it. ”Try to stop it again.”

”!!!” The man was surprised and even feared the lightning dragon, feeling the extraordinary strength behind this attack.

He could duck down to avoid Annaʼs attack, but he also saw three huge swords that would fall on top of him when he did it.

So, the guy ended up raising both arms, blocking her kick. The lightning dragon tried to electrocute him but seeing it was no use because his body was a metal, Anna let the lightning dragon exploded, causing a powerful shock wave that launched the guy to the mansionʼs wall.

*Bam!*

Anna smirked as she retracted her feet, allowing the swords to fall. But Noel finally showed the result of his training.

Parabolic Movement.

The moment the swords fell, they began to curve until they flew horizontally, hitting the metal guy.

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

The three swords impaled the wall of the mansion, crushing it. However, the metal guy seemed to be strong enough to avoid all three swords, albeit barely since one of the sword cut grazed his waist.

Since the attack was a failure, Noel hurriedly summoned another rune, releasing two chains.

Chain Bind Rune.

The man felt that the chains would be able to capture him, so he hurriedly ran inside the mansion, trying to use the mansion to hide from Noel and Anna. At first, he thought about using the city to hide, but Noel and Anna had been preventing him from escaping to the town.

”Kh.” The guy gritted his teeth while looking through the window, seeing Noel and Anna begin to approach him.

Anna jumped through the window, smashing it. Noel used the hole that she created and pursued the guy.

Bouncing Spirit Slash.

Noel shot out a sword strike that kept bouncing off the wall until it reached the enemy, forcing the enemy to stop for a second.

This one second was precious for Anna because she managed to catch up to him and kicked him in the head with the same dragon. This would surely heavily injure him.

However, the guy seemed to be ready to sacrifice something else. He caught Annaʼs kick with his left hand as the lightning began to penetrate the metal surface that covered it. At the same time, Anna waved her sword, trying to slice his neck.

Before she could reach the guyʼs neck, the guy threw Anna to the window, creating another hole that he could use to escape.

*Clang!*

”Kh.” Anna gritted her teeth, seeing the guy who was about to escape through the window she smashed.

Unfortunately for him, this was the time for Noel to act. The hole was suddenly patched up by a thick layer of ice that covered the entire hallway, preventing him from escaping.

Anna smiled and muttered in a low voice, ”Nice assist.”
