System vs Rebirth

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."

"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!"
