System vs Rebirth

"…" Stella was shocked as well, but the battle was still going on. So, she had to focus on the opponent before her. "You have something unique, you know. However, if you think that's enough, then you're wrong."

Stella suddenly jumped forth while swinging her blade. "Let's see how good your swordsmanship is."

Noel narrowed his eyes. On the one hand, he could block all Stella's strikes, but if he did it the usual way, Stella might notice it.

Hence, Noel jumped to the side. Instead of engaging her, Noel left behind a small fire that would touch her sword.

Flame Conjuring.

"Hmm?" Stella frowned, not understanding why Noel escaped instead of fighting her. She hurriedly used her wind to suppress this flame, but to her surprise, the moment the two mixed, the flame suddenly burst up, devouring the wind.

"!!!" Stella was dumbstruck while using her wind to throw her to the side. "Kh."

"What? Stella is pushed back?" Paul narrowed his eyes in surprise. Although Stella looked like she underestimated him a bit, it didn't change the fact that there was a huge gap between Noel and Stella.

'Normally, a flame that small would be suppressed by the wind. Just like blowing a candle. However, that flame actually devours the wind…' Jonathan analyzed the situation with his extensive knowledge of Spiritual Energy. 'Don't tell me, the fire is so superior that the wind ends up getting devoured?

'Although the wind is weaker than water in case of extinguishing the fire, it still can't explain how a fire that small can win unless that fire surpasses the elemental advantage itself.

'If this is true, then I don't know what will happen if the fire engulfs a person. There is a chance that the flame can't be extinguished.'

Jonathan contemplated for a moment and shouted, "Can both of you stop the spar for a second? I must confirm something since this is related to your safety."
