System vs Rebirth

The fire bird demon was trying to get away from Noel. As long as he could persist for a bit more, he would be unstoppable.

But Noel had thought one step forward. He used the new rune, the Enhance Forward Rune, on his shirt.

Yes, he applied it on his shirt so that his shirt would move forward, carrying him. This way, he didn't need to spare some attention for the Phoenix Wings and other things.

He could retract all of them and focus on the next strike.

He also used the Rune Sword to summon another sword for his left hand. The bird never saw Noel wielding two swords. In fact, his subordinates had never seen it as well.

The bird was surprised, trying to figure out what Noel wanted with these two swords.

Noel gathered the Spiritual Energy for the Circular Sword Strike on Ardagan and Spirit Weaponry for the Rune Sword.

The bird hurriedly raised its talons and stopped both swords. But Noel instantly cut the talon made of fire. Even if the bird was big, he still had enough power to cut through the giant body.

The other talon also tried to stop him but to no avail. Noel had his momentum, cutting the demon's legs.

The demon was wailing in pain, but he didn't stop there. The demon knew that Noel was unstoppable and it would be hard to defeat Noel in his current condition. So, he planned to injure Noel with some sacrifice until he reached his peak.

With Noel's momentum, he would have a hard time stopping his movement. So, the bird invited him in while wrapping Noel with his wings and body.
