System vs Rebirth

Meanwhile, Noel and the others were heading to the other town where they could find the branch of the Demon Banner Army to seek some treatment.

Noel was riding with Anna. Due to her exhaustion, Anna was curling up, sleeping. Noel had to carry her while riding the horse without complaining. After all, Anna had truly exhausted all her Spiritual Energy and stamina to bring a reinforcement.

On the other hand, Lokhar was riding with Kirika in Anna's horse. This would probably be their last ride, considering Kirika had to go back after this.

Suddenly, Kirika moved her horse closer and said, "Sorry about this, Noel. And thank you for everything… Even now, I can't do anything to repay you and end up owing you more."

She looked down, feeling ashamed of her weakness.

Even though Anna looked sleeping, she was still conscious. She heard her words and thought, 'Kirika is one of the most talented people in this generation. If I didn't regress, Noel might end up getting some help from her.

'Now that I think about it, after that incident, Noel was the one subjugating Kirika. Knowing that there was a Devil Bishop playing in this scheme… Wait a minute. Did Noel actually pair up with Kirika in my past life?

'He somehow got caught and experienced the pain Lokhar had to endure? And Kirika was sent to the Devil Bishop? But Noel should be able to escape by using his strength, unless Noel had done that but he couldn't defeat a Spirit Wielder in the past. After all, Noel had become far stronger compared to his past at this point.

'That's probably the reason. This is such a coincidence. To think I haven't changed the future, only alter it slightly with Lokhar replacing Noel's position… I haven't altered too much of the future, so I guess we're good for the time being.' Anna thought and felt at ease, knowing that she could still expect something from the future. Now that her heart had calmed down, she gradually drifted to the dream world.
