System vs Rebirth

"Should we loop around them?" Nicole asked.

As expected of the world outside the border, the number of demons increased drastically. They were moving quite fast. Since Anna and Noel were already Spirit Masters, their speed was similar to that of a horse. And this speed allowed them to maintain a proper form and conserve their stamina.

Once they heard Nicole's question, Noel answered with a clear mind, "We will break through them. Anna and I will take the front. Dimitri and Damian will take the sides in case they charge at us."

"Got it." Dimitri took out his sword and faintly emitted his killing intent.

Damian had no choice since Dimitri had made his move, leaving Noel and Anna behind.

Nicole was surprised that they didn't hide their intention to fight these demons, but before she could say anything, Noel and Anna sprinted past her.

"…" Nicole sighed. She could also fight, but since she was a Spirit Grandmaster, she should watch over them before helping them. "There are one Peak Level Demon and six Advanced Level Demons. Be careful."

"Got it." Noel and Anna answered at the same time as they increased their pace. Their movements were in sync as though they understood what each other planned to do.

Noel could see a herd of buffaloes. They were mostly black in color, but there was a bigger one whose size was twice as big as the rest. Its color was red and a single sound from him caused the six buffaloes to charge toward Noel and Anna.

Each buffalo was emitting Spiritual Energy. They concentrated the energy in their horns. If Noel and Anna took this head-on, there was a chance that they would be stopped.

However, Noel and Anna actually smirked as though they felt these enemies were easier than they expected.
