System vs Rebirth

Chapter 626 Superior Demons

The demons realized that the feathers contained a power that could kill them with their instinct. So, they tried to shoot them down.

Unfortunately for them, the unpredictable current caused their attacks to miss.

With the current distance, it was impossible for them to hit them.

In the end, the feathers reached their position, including the Fire Gale.

The Fire Gale was so hot that the moment the demons inhaled the heated air made them feel like they were being cooked from the inside.

And eventually, the feathers were thrown by the wind, scattered in the area.

After consuming the Fire Birdʼs heart, he had improved the Undying Fire Feathers. In addition, there was the Fire Heartʼs amplification.

The explosions coming from the Fire Feathers became far bigger than anything he used when fighting the Fire Bird Demon.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The explosions engulfed more than a hundred demons. With a single glance, he realized that ten feathers managed to kill thirty demons at once. At the same time, there were more than fifty demons who got severely injured.

If he fought alone, the combination of these three abilities would work for thinning out the enemyʼs number.

ʼExcellent. To think that my strength can reach this level…ʼ Noel couldnʼt help but remember the time he killed his first demon. It was so hard to the point he couldnʼt do anything even with three of them. But at this point, he could easily kill a hundred demons without any problems.

If this continued, he should be able to replace Captain Shaleʼs tale.

ʼStill, the Fire Heart truly drains my Spiritual Energy. After becoming a Spirit Master, itʼs true that my Spirit Energy reserve has grown drastically. But I never thought that using the Fire Heart continuously would drain this much energy. It seems I have to be careful in the future.ʼ

Noel took a deep breath, returning to the wall. He glanced around the battlefield.

Since he had retracted the Undying Fire, the demons wouldnʼt hesitate to go straight to the wall, especially those Peak Level Demons who had been waiting for their chance to fight.

Shale glanced at Noel, shocked by his power. This was the first time he saw Noelʼs strength. Although he wanted to question him for having that fire ability, he realized that there was a reason why Noel hid his identity.

So, he chose to respect Noelʼs decision since it didnʼt really matter that much as long as Noel didnʼt plan to harm the Demon Banner Army.

Still, that strength was enough to scare the demons.

He pointed at Noel while shouting as loud as possible. ”You have seen his strength. Obey the vice commander from now on. Iʼm going to handle the Superior Demon!”

”!!!” Everyone widened their eyes, never expecting to hear such an order. At the same time, they also understood why Shale entrusted everything to Noel.

After hearing the order, Noel didnʼt hesitate to give his order out loud. ”Attacks. No need to hold back anymore. Attack them until they die!”

The people were confused by the order, considering Shaleʼs command looked more reasonable. What they didnʼt know was that Noelʼs command had a different purpose.

ʼThere are two Superior Demons. But with their current number and strength, I donʼt think there are only two Superior Demons in that facility.ʼ

ʼAnd at first, there was only one Superior Demon coming out. But now, there are already two Superior Demons here. It seems that theyʼre coming out within an interval. And the moment the third Superior Demon appears, there will be an interval that we can use to take down at least one Superior Demon before the fourth appears…ʼ

ʼThatʼs why I have to force the third one to appear as soon as possible. I donʼt know the interval, but if the third Superior Demon is hiding, I can force it to come out with this order.ʼ

Noel narrowed his eyes, looking around to see if there was a movement. ʼWhat kind of demon is the third Superior Demon?ʼ

Noel kept thinking about that question while attacking the enemies.

The others also followed his plan and released all their abilities to kill as many demons as possible.

At the same time, the Peak Level Demons began to make their move. They had been waiting from the sideline this whole time, measuring the enemyʼs strength. Now that they had a good grasp of what the humans were capable of, they were planning to strike them.

Noel noticed the movement of the Peak Level Demons.

”Get ready, the Peak Level Demons are moving toward us. Back away from the wall and prepare to receive their attacks.” Noel shouted while infusing his Spiritual Energy into his voice to amplify the sound.

While he was commanding the army, Captain Clara and the Stone Lord took this chance to fight the injured Superior Demon, trying to kill it. Meanwhile, Captain Shale had flown toward the second Superior Demon. It wouldnʼt be wise for the commander to leave the fort, but Shale had seen Noelʼs capability. He felt it would be fine to leave Noel in charge.

That was the only reason why Shale dared to leave.

It seemed that the Superior Demons understood the importance of Noel in this fort. Five Peak Level Demons moved toward him. The other lower level demons also followed them to overwhelm Noel with numbers.

ʼItʼs not the time to unleash our sneak attack.ʼ Noel thought. Since there was no other option, he planned to handle five Peak Level Demons by himself.

Before, he struggled to even fight a single Fire Bird Demon. But this time, he was daring enough to challenge five demons of the same level. Noel looked reckless, but there was confidence hidden in his gaze.

Noel jumped off the wall once again. If he fought on top of the wall, he might get some advantages over the demons. But the wall wouldnʼt be able to withstand the combined attack of five Peak Level Demons. So, it was better for them to fight outside the fort.

Noel summoned a pair of wings.

He flew on top of them, telling the Peak Level Demons that he was there.

Two Peak Level Demons released a beam from their tails to shoot Noel down. There were other lower level demons that jumped into the air to drag him down.

Noel knew that he couldnʼt use his ice ability. So, he changed his approach.

He used the Everchanging Emotion Sword Style. Since the only people that knew about this Sword Style were his group and they were already aware of his identity, there was no need to hide it anymore.

He used the Disgust Emotion to turn the sword into a blunt bat. But this time, Noel added another twist to his ability.

The Spirit Weaponry, the unique application of Spiritual Energy that allowed him to strike the Spiritual Energy itself.

He could finally combine the two abilities after so many trials. He struck down the two beams from the Peak Level Demons, redirecting them to the demons beneath him.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

As expected from Peak Level Demons, their strength was quite powerful. Those two attacks alone managed to take down ten demons at once and injured many demons.

At the same time, the Peak Level Demons were smart enough to see through Noelʼs intention. It seemed that Noel didnʼt plan to kill them. Instead, he wanted to use their strength to kill other demons.

This way, he would be able to conserve his energy while killing more demons.

Noel didnʼt realize at this time that his death was approaching.

Behind the trees, there was a giant chameleon that had completely changed its skin color to match the environment. In addition, the strength of this demon was beyond the Peak Level Demons Noel was facing.

In other words, this was the Third Superior Demon.

Only two people managed to sense the threat. The first was Dimitri, who had been hiding this whole time. But if Dimitri made his move, the ambush would fail, meaning the Plant Lord would be aware of their plan and become harder to be killed.

That was why Dimitri was in a dilemma. He wanted to protect his lord, but at the same time, he didnʼt want to ruin his plan.

As for the second person, he was none other than the one with the most sensitive sense among them, the captain of the Demon Beholder Squad, Septa.

Septa knew his role finally came.

Before the chameleon released its tongue to strike Noel down, Septa appeared on top of the chameleon with his fastest speed.

”!!!” The chameleon noticed the surge of energy above his head and immediately raised his head while extending his tongue.

*Bam!*

The tree was taken down by the tongue, but there was soon a translucent barrier that appeared in the air and fell on top of the chameleon, pushing it to the ground.

As one would expect from Septa, he didnʼt forget the promise to his teacher. He had told the Plant Lord to launch an ambush since all the Superior Demons had come out.

In that instant, numerous roots started to come out of the woods and aimed for the monsters, trying to restrain them.

When Noel saw all this, he couldnʼt help but smile. The final phase of the plan had just begun.
