System vs Rebirth

Both of them stopped and hid behind a tree as they approached the area carefully, making sure they didn't make any noise. The animal's ears were sensitive, and it was worse when they turned into demons, so if they were not careful, everything would be in vain.

Of course, both Anna and Noel didn't dare to approach them easily. They were watching them from far away on top of the tree.

Noel had a hard time finding the right spot to watch the entire scene, while Anna seemed to have found her spot and even asked him to come over. In the end, Noel came to her and finally had a view of the demons.

There was a three meters tall mushroom standing in the middle. It had thin legs and arms, making it look vulnerable to sharp objects. However, dozens of demons were watching this mushroom demon as if they were listening to their father.

Noel and Anna had agreed that this demon was actually the Advanced Level Demon they had been looking for. They also could see the mushroom in the demons' bodies. Some were hidden, some were easily visible.

But it was clear that all these demons were under the mushroom's control.

Both of them exchanged looks as if they were trying to communicate their next move.

Noel pointed at his eyes and those demons in succession, telling Anna that they were going to watch over them.

Since the Saintess was planning to bring some Holy Knights to stop the demons, there would be some trouble in the city wall due to the lack of capable people. Hence, it was better to stall the remaining demons here instead of letting the city take them head-on.

After all, it would still be considered a defeat if they let the people in the city die. Noel couldn't bear the fact that he would lose so many Honor Points.

Still, when Noel counted the demons, there seemed to be a total of 38 demons in this area alone. Taking them head-on would be too reckless. Even the Holy Knights wouldn't be able to defeat them.
