System vs Rebirth

"I spotted another demon!" Lezlev shouted. After enough rest, they started hunting for another demon and soon found it not long after.

This time, they had strategy and understanding to each other. So, they wanted to do better than the previous hunt.

The demon Lezlev found turned out to be a beast. It was standing on four feet and its fur looked like spikes with both sharpness and hardness. It had a sharp claws and long fangs that could shred them apart.

Its height reached Lezlev's chest and its length was twice of its height. Although it was smaller than the tree, a demon beast like this would be even more troublesome.

As soon as it heard Lezlev's shout, the demon leaped forth, pouncing on him.

Luckily, Alfred was close to Lezlev and immediately appeared between them, striking his sword to the demon's claws.

"Go!" Alfred shouted.

It was the signal for Noel. Taking the advantage of him stopping the demon, Noel looped around them and hit the demon's body.
