System vs Rebirth

"So, what should we do now?" Richard asked while looking at the Demon Relief Squad. They could consider this movement as a threat to the bridge, so he had to ask about their opinions.

Noel had piqued his interest earlier, so Richard observed Noel more than anyone else. And at this time, Noel showed a restless expression as if he was thinking about something bad.

"What's wrong?" Richard came to Noel while furrowing his eyebrows.

All of them soon turned to Noel. The Demon Relief Squad never saw Noel acting this way, so they were curious about what he was thinking.

Noel glanced around as if scanning the area again before explaining the reason for his panic. "This…"

"Explain it to us. We can't understand you if you don't talk." Richard demanded the answer with a strict tone. The last thing they should do was get worked up.

Noel gritted his teeth and explained, "I believe all of you have thought the same thing. The nest should have multiple Peak Level Demons, but the position of this mattress is kind to that of a leader. So, there might have been a Superior Demon in this nest previously.

"No one can defeat the Superior Demon right now. But I'm more worried about the direction where they're going…" Noel paused for a moment and said, "Looking at the trail on the way, it looks like they're going to the plain. But this will change with a Superior Demon. You should know about their intelligence, right?"

Richard nodded. "Continue."

"There is a Demon Hunting Squad's base at the border. And there's no way a Superior Demon can pass them unless there's a big battle where the Demon Hunting Squad's captain is occupied. Hence…"

Richard frowned, thinking Noel was looking down on them. However, what he said made some sense. So, Richard asked to confirm his doubt. "So, you're telling us the Demon Hunting Squad fails to keep the demons at bay?"
