System vs Rebirth

Chapter 27 Mid Level Demon



Without hesitation, both of them headed to the east before the demons came out of the bushes. Their action certainly made the demons reveal themselves.

The first demon was like a black-colored panther. It didn't have strong fur to protect its body, but it had sharp fangs and claws as well as extraordinary physical ability. Meanwhile, the second demon stood on two feet. Luckily, the demon had a bigger body than the first demon or it would ride the first demon.

They started chasing both Noel and Kirika, not knowing they were going straight at the trap.

The first demon showed its extraordinary physical ability by leaping from one place to another, allowing this demon to catch up with them.

"How far away?"

"One more minute."

"I'll stop this demon for a few seconds and you prepare the trap."

"Jump to the side again later."

"Got it."

They agreed with each other. Kirika stopped the demon while Noel went first. The trap he had prepared for them was actually the pitfall he used earlier. But because he used it earlier, he hadn't covered it again because it was hard to spot it during the night.

Hence, Noel had another plan to make the demon fall to the trap by going first.

As soon as he reached the position, he grabbed the rope that he used to go down the pitfall earlier before stretching it to the other tree as Noel prepared to use both trees to trip the demon.

When he saw Kirika coming, Noel shouted, "Jump!"

Kirika threw herself to the side while Noel pulled the rope to make it tense. The demon used its four feet to slide to stop his momentum, but he was too quick that the demon ended up tripping first.

"Argh!" Noel gritted his teeth as he was also thrown to the front. The momentum was too strong for him to handle.

Still, he saw the demon rolling on the ground until it was next to the pitfall.

"It's not falling!" Noel shouted.

"Kh." Kirika clicked her tongue and hurriedly reached the demon. The latter managed to stand up, but the posture was still not stable. Kirika took this opportunity to push the demon into the pitfall.

"Ha!" Kirika shouted and fell to the ground after successfully pushing the demon to the pitfall. "Yes—!"

She wanted to celebrate, but she suddenly heard a loud boom coming from behind.

It turned out Noel was facing the other demon. She could clearly see Noel's hands shaking due to the pain from tripping the demon earlier, so it was clearly unexpected to see Noel so desperate to fight the demon.

Kirika hurriedly helped Noel fighting against the demon.

It might be because both of them had extraordinary prowess, but the battle went smoothly even with only two people.

Kirika was one of the best trainees, so her prowess was similar to Alfred. Meanwhile, Noel had gained some experiences in killing the demon. To lure the demon, he needed to understand the demon's movement, so his movement became smoother. With the help of Ardagan, Noel finally cut down the demon after fighting for five minutes.

*Pant!*

*Pant!*

Noel dropped to his butt as his body was sore. Kirika had the same condition since she also sat down, trying to take some rest after fighting these demons.

Because Kirika was the one pushing the demon to the pitfall, he was worried that he didn't get the kill. Hence, he hurriedly opened his system to check.

Luckily, it seemed that the system considered the pitfall to be the one killing the demon instead of Kirika's effort to push the demon.

Medal: Military Service Merit

Requirement: Kill 10 Demons (10/10)

Noel sat down with his back facing Kirika so she didn't know what he was doing. He then started opening his reward.

Medal: Military Service Medal

Effect: Spiritual Energy +0.5%

'Oh?' Noel raised his eyebrows, asking inwardly, 'What is this Spiritual Energy? Spiritual Energy and Spirit… Are they related? What if this Spiritual Energy is the thing I'm lacking to utilize my Spirit? Is that why my Spirits want me to get stronger first?'

Noel felt like he had gained another reason to push himself to train. The more he trained, the stronger he could get, the more demons he could kill, the more Spiritual Energy he could get.

While Noel was checking his loot, Kirika looked at his lonely back and tried to recall what happened earlier.

"We've managed to kill four demons in a short period." Kirika's expression darkened, complaining. "Can you even imagine that? My group could only kill five demons earlier but with you…"

Noel glanced at her. Despite her sharp gaze, Kirika didn't seem to be a bad person either like Alfred. Both of them simply didn't bother with others.

"If only we were a group earlier…" Kirika let out a long sigh. "Now that I think about it, if I'm not wrong, that noble guy should be in your group, right? Where is he?"

"I don't have a group." Noel shook his head and said, "After this, we'll also go separate ways. I won't have any group."

Kirika looked at Noel while furrowing her eyebrows. There seemed to be a hidden story about Noel's group.

Unfortunately for them, their luck ran short when another demon appeared. That was right. They were still in the middle of the outbreak and the demons from the inner region were coming to the outer region before heading to the fort.

So, it wouldn't be so strange for them to appear at this place.

"We're in danger." Kirika looked at the demon with fear as she gritted her teeth.

Noel looked at this demon. It was similar to the black panther demon earlier, but there was a clear distinction between them.

This demon had blue-colored fire that acted like a fur on its head and the tip of its tail. Even its claws were shining blue color. And the demon size was twice as big as the demon with its height was as tall as Noel.

"I have no more traps to use…" Noel had a cold sweat as he also stared in horror.
