System vs Rebirth

"…" Noel narrowed his eyes. This Undying Phoenix was one of his strongest techniques. Even though he had just acquired it not long ago, it didn't change the fact that the Undying Fire was overwhelming.

Yet, the guy managed to stop it. It was clear that the Undying Phoenix wouldn't be working more effectively next time. He knew he could simply extend his blade to stop it.

This wasn't looking good for him.

'I guess this is the current gap between a Spirit Wielder and a real Spirit Master, unlike the one I met in the town. Even with two elements, Rune and my swordsmanship, it's impossible to close the gap between us.'

Even though Noel couldn't reach the Spirit Master's level, he would probably win against the Spirit Master he fought with Anna if he went all out. Unfortunately, he still hadn't reached the level of the Spirit Master before him.

He never thought that a single rank had this big of a gap.

Noel had to find another way to close the last gap. But it seemed he could only take advantage of the terrain or his teammate.

"I have told you earlier, no matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to defeat me!" The guy stated coldly, asserting his dominance. He had acknowledged Noel's strength and talent, so the only thing he had to do was to use his ability to capture Noel and present him to the organization.

Noel should be valued a lot, so it wouldn't be so strange if he got a huge promotion after this.

Since he had seen a lot of his abilities, he wasn't afraid of Noel anymore. He jumped toward him while extending his blade.

Noel hadn't found any weakness to exploit. Despite getting provoked multiple times, this guy wasn't even angry.

In the end, he was forced to run away, trying to get into a place where he could get some advantages.
