System vs Rebirth

They were supposed to outrun the demons as soon as they left the mountain. But surprisingly, the demons kept chasing them. Of course, some of the slow demons were quickly left behind, but their numbers were still more than one hundred fifty.

"This is…" Anna muttered while observing the demons' movements.

"Hey, aren't the demons supposed to stop chasing us right now?"

"That's what I thought too… After all, demons are a bit territorial. It's a kind of the instinct they inherit from the animals.

"Then, doesn't this mean we're already causing an outbreak?" Noel's eyebrows twitched, realizing the problems they had in hand.

"That's true. But I don't think we can stop them. What should we do?" Anna was also confused by the demons' behavior. They had been chasing after them and attacking them this whole time as if they were enraged by something.

But if one took another look to their expression, they would know that these Advanced Level Demons had enough wisdom to stop the demons.

"…" Noel contemplated for a moment and said, "I have an idea. First, we have to get away from any villages and see if the demons will stop chasing us or not. If the demons haven't stopped after fifteen minutes, we're going to approach this matter differently."

"Got it. What's your plan after that?"

"I'll say it after the first one fails."

"Tsk." Anna clicked her tongue but still trusted Noel's plan. He wasn't someone who would do meaningless thing, so she should trust him first until he gave an absurd plan.

Noel and Anna then sped up, rushing their horses. Unfortunately for them, it seemed that their first plan failed because the demons hadn't stopped chasing after them.

"This is bad. What are we going to do now?" Anna asked while glancing at the demons on their tail. "Are they going to chase us until we're dead? Should we go to a big city to get some help?"
