System vs Rebirth

"Hahaha!" The bandit leader laughed, looking at Noel's pathetic self. Despite his overwhelming strength, he would never expect that the woman was actually one of the bandits.

And now that ignorance would cost him his life.

The leader immediately came to him while raising his axe, planning to cut him down. "Die!"

A smile suddenly appeared in Noel's face as the woman finally realized what happened.

"No!" She let out a cry while lowering her vision. Her dagger was actually stopped by a layer of ice like how Noel stopped the bandit leader's axe at first.

Unfortunately, she was too late. Noel swiftly swung his sword.

Swift Strike.

"Keuk!" The bandit leader gritted his teeth and tried to move away, but it was too late. Noel managed to cut his hand.

"Argh!" While screaming in pain, the bandit tried to move away, but not before another slash from Noel, cutting his other arm. This way, the bandit leader wouldn't be able to attack him anymore. As for his life, he was planning to let him live a little bit longer so that he could extract the information.

However, Noel couldn't forgive the backstabbing woman. She reminded him of Anna. Though, Anna was leaning to plotting instead of backstabbing.

He cut the hand that held the dagger, making the woman scream like the bandit leader. She dropped to the ground while clutching her arm.

"Arghhh!" The woman gritted her teeth, glaring at him. "How do you know?"

Noel looked down on her, recalling what happened earlier when he received the mission.

'This is… a mission!' Noel thought, reading the mission details.
