System vs Rebirth

*Clink!*

*Clink!*

*Clink!*

A series of clicking sounds kept echoing on the battlefield. Noel was trying to block all Hailfa's attacks, but she gradually overwhelmed him in speed once she got used to his attacks.

At the same time, she kept releasing the poison to stop the others from coming. This way, Noel had to continuously use his fire to burn the poison, weakening him even further.

That was why even though the battle had begun for only ten minutes, Noel was already tired. This was the first time he had to constantly maintain his element while fighting the enemy.

It was true that his Spiritual Energy could last far longer than this. But this fight took a toll on his mind, especially since he was trying to come up with a plan to turn the situation around.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do other than get suppressed by Hailfa.

"Ha… Ha…" Noel panted while blocking a few strikes that aimed for his thigh. Hailfa didn't allow him to get some distance since she didn't want him to rest even for a few seconds.

This might be the first time he realized his weakness. What Damian said to him previously was correct.

He never had the time to master his abilities and made them even stronger. Instead, he just found another more powerful technique that could last for a while before changing it again.

Because of this rapid improvement, there was a hole in his solid foundation. And this hole was the one that caused all this mess.
