System vs Rebirth

"Hmm, I still don't quite understand what you mean." Paul frowned.

"Then, I'll turn it into a question. If you are in his position and you lose enough people to make it look like you're going to fail and have your enemies prepare more traps for you, it means you're being pushed into the corner, right?"

Paul thought for a moment and nodded. "Yeah. I would become desperate at that time."

"Then, what would you do?"

"Hmm… If I reach that situation, I might retreat."

"But you have to maintain your dignity. So, you should achieve something so that the mission is not a complete failure."

"Ah!" Paul gasped. "I need to attack this city. After all, the city has the vice-captain of the Demon Barrier Army. In addition, killing all the people would increase the prestige of the Supreme Devil Organization, albeit in a bad way. But this way, the task is not a complete failure."

"Exactly. People always teach you that you can't corner your enemies too much because their desperation will cause a lot of problems. While I agree with a part of it, I still think there is one more possibility. "

It was true that Noel's talent was monstrous. But the reason why they feared Noel was his intelligence. He didn't only think about what they should do, but what the others would probably do.

And that kind of mind could only be achieved by learning from the master, Luke Ardagan.
