System vs Rebirth

The next day.

*Clang!*

*Cling!*

A few clashing sounds echoed inside the wood as Noel was repelling three Low Level Demons at the same time.

"Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue. Usually, the demons would split into two groups with at least one of them chasing after Anna, but it seemed he was unlucky today. All three demons ignored Anna and focused on him.

'This is annoying.' Noel glanced at Anna who seemed to have no intention to help him. It was clear that she wanted to test Noel's limit with three Low Level Demons.

However, Noel was only annoyed, not angry. How could he get angry when the demons came to him?

Medal: Military Service Merit II

Requirement: Kill 25 Demons (24/25)

Reward: Military Service II Medal and 5 Honor Points

Knowing that the demons were available for him to kill, Noel could progress his mission and get more Honor Points.

When the three demons came to attack him, Noel bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity. After that, he used the Ice Control to create an ice floor around him.

This was the same ice floor that he used to take down Anna in their last spar. But the ice spread in all directions so that it tripped all the demons.

The only reason for lowering his center of gravity was to prevent the attack that would come to his crotch, causing that pain.

As soon as the demons tripped and started sliding on the ice, Noel took a step back and swiftly cut one of them.
