System vs Rebirth

As soon as Noel understood Anna's intention in using the root to increase their elevation, he finally saw the path that Anna planned to take.

They might be moving up and down for a minute, but Anna skillfully came closer and closer to the trunk at the highest elevation they could get.

"Four, no… Five meters. As long as we can reach five meters, we should be able to avoid all the roots. And…" Noel raised his vision and saw the branches start moving. "Anna! Above!"

"I know." Anna shouted and calculated their best path. "We might not be able to reach the best position."

"Indeed." Noel nodded. At least, tell me a second prior so that I can react." Noel nodded in understanding, preparing to avoid both the roots and branches at the same time.

As expected, the Ancient Demon Tree might not have its past power, but it could understand their language.

As soon as Noel and Anna reached an agreement, the Ancient Demon Tree sent its branches to the ground.

"This is insane." Noel gulped down when he saw the tip of the branches begin to extend and bend to the ground, aiming for their lives.

"Here they come!" Anna shouted while glancing to the left and right. The roots were stopping next to the one they were stepping on, forming a wall on both sides.

"Walls? We need to get away somehow." Noel furrowed his eyebrows while trying to find an escape path.

"We're not going anywhere." Anna clicked her tongue and clasped her hands. "North Sword, South Lightning. Sword D'Dantalian."

Noel's vision soon darkened as he realized the culprit was the sword that gradually formed on top of them, blocking the moonlight.
