System vs Rebirth

Chapter 690 Surrounded

Laufey never thought he would be outsmarted by a brat multiple times. But it was clear that Noel truly had a similar brain as his father, Luke Ardagan.

This made him extremely dangerous, especially since Luke had no talent for fighting.

Laufey wanted to shout, but Damian stomped the ground, creating a fence made of ice to isolate Laufey from the rest.

Damian said, ”You go to your respective opponent. I will hold this man here.”

Laufey furrowed his eyebrows. He always felt something weird about this man. As someone who was pretty highly ranked in the Supreme Devil Organization, he had learned a lot of information.

But this was the first time he saw someone this strong, especially with an Ice Spirit.

Laufey asked, ”Who are you? I have never heard of you in the Muivell Kingdom. You must be someone from another kingdom. How bold of him to invite an expert of your level to this kingdom. Iʼm afraid that the royal family will be surprised when they hear about it.”

Damian narrowed his eyes. He had covered his appearance, but still, there werenʼt many people who were at his level with an ice spirit.

Laufey wasnʼt that foolish either, so it wasnʼt that hard to recognize his origin. Though, he had some confidence that Laufey wouldnʼt do something like that.

The Supreme Devil Organization should have some connection that could inform the Royal Family about his existence. But doing so would surely bring a lot of attention from the Royal Family.

There was a chance that they would discover Iadre was Noel. And with the author of the Rune Books revealed to the world, the other kingdoms would definitely make their move.

And there was a big chance that Noel would become theirs instead of the Royal Family or the Supreme Devil Organization.

He had observed Laufeyʼs movement as well. It seemed that Laufey only wanted to capture Noel, so it was clear that he wouldnʼt do something that might kill Noel, at least for the time being.

”You donʼt have to know my identity. All you have to know is that you are going to stay here with me the entire time.” Damian began circulating his Spiritual Energy. Though, he knew he never had the chance to win against someone like him. But it wouldnʼt be much of a problem for him to last for a long time.

The demon pair immediately approached the fence from two directions, trying to crush it.

But Paul and the Vice Captain of the Demon Barrier Squad appeared in front of them. Paul struck the Spirit Grandmaster with his warhammer while the latter formed a translucent barrier, blocking the strike. After that, he kicked the Devil Bishop, launching him away.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group moved to the back, planning to surround the serpent.

The serpent knew that she wouldnʼt be able to help the others if she got surrounded. So, she moved to the side, trying to leave the vicinity. This way, the enemies would be confused and there would be a chance to ambush them sooner or later.

Unfortunately for her, Rose and Noel could easily recognize her plan.

That was why Rose and Noel split up. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Hailfa moved in Roseʼs direction.

”!!!” Hailfa suddenly looked down as the ground trembled. A huge crack appeared in the soil, causing Hailfa to fall.

ʼThis… must be an illusion!ʼ Hailfa instantly recognized the illusion after reading the information about all the people in the Demon Relief Squad. Only Rose could do something like this. And recognizing the illusion would make it easier for them to escape from this illusion.

She released a huge amount of Spiritual Energy infused with her poison. The poison would melt the ground that was the core of the illusion. The slight change in the ground broke the illusion.

”Tsk. As expected of a Devil Bishop, she could escape my illusion in a split second.” Rose clicked her tongue. ”But thatʼs enough.”

Hailfa could hear her voice, which ended up confusing her. But when she raised her head, there was a huge phoenix diving down, ready to hit her.

Hailfa hurriedly jumped to the side, avoiding the bird. The Undying Flame burned and melted the ground, giving some degree of fear in her heart.

However, it didnʼt change her objective. She had to get away, albeit Noel and Rose had bought enough time for their fastest fighter to arrive in front of her.

Hailfa waved her knife to the side out of reflex, causing a clicking sound.

When glancing to the side, she found Zion striking her from above to pin her to the ground. The wind caused by his momentum even fell on top of her. In addition to his own weight, he created a small crater underneath her feet.

n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)served as the original host for this chapterʼs release on N0v3l-B1n.

After that, Stella approached from the side while waving her sword.

The wind energy flew forth, trying to knock her down. Ben and Jonathan came from different directions, but they were a bit slower and more careful, making sure that no one would be injured when fighting against her.

Hailfa clicked her tongue, knowing why the Demon Relief Squad could survive and ruin their plan this whole time.

Her body started emitting a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy. Even Zion instinctively leaped off her to get away from this energy. Unlike normal Spiritual Energy, hers had a slight poison on it. Even the ground slightly melted when it made contact with the Spiritual Energy.

In addition, the Spiritual Energy gradually rose into the air and formed a shape.

”Hmm? Thatʼs… a snake?” Noel frowned. The Spiritual Energy formed a green snake with bloodshot eyes on top of her. But because Hailfa exerted Spiritual Energy from her feet as well, the body of the snake continued circling around Hailfaʼs body until it touched the ground.

The length of the snake seemed to exceed twenty meters and its mouth could swallow them with ease. It wouldnʼt be easy for them to stop this kind of snake, especially knowing it contained a powerful poison.

Noel said, ”Be careful of her poison. We also have our own objective.”
