System vs Rebirth

Anna waved her hand while hiding behind a huge tree, taking a peek at the demon not far from them. Since the demon was controlled to take a rest, it left a gap for them to exploit.

Noel took advantage of it and quietly moved to Anna. They had been doing this for two hours, approaching the cave.

It was truly hard because of the number of demons in this place. However, it wasn't impossible because the demons wouldn't be wandering too much like what happened during the day.

After passing this obstacle, they walked again, climbing the mountain. Noel thought the cave was located near the top of the mountain, but he soon found he was mistaken.

Anna began to climb down and head to a small valley next to the mountain.

Even though he had many questions in his mind, Noel didn't utter a single sound because of their current situation. He didn't want his sound to be heard by the demons and caused them to alarm the people from the Supreme Devil Organization.

Although he had Dimitri, Noel never confirmed Dimitri's existence and strength. Even if he believed Dimitri's existence through the letter from his father, he didn't know about his true strength.

Noel didn't know that Dimitri had the power to fight a Devil Bishop and believed his strength to be somewhere around Devil Inspector. Hence, he never considered Dimitri as a part of the plan, even if he had to destroy such a treasure.

That was why Noel had been following Anna quietly this whole time. As long as they could use the treasure and leave this place before dawn, this trip would be considered useful.

It took another hour before they reached the valley and surprisingly, he didn't pick any presence with his Demon Hunter Medal.
