System vs Rebirth

"Not good." Noel grabbed Anna's hand and dragged her. "Run!"

"Wha—!" Anna was confused, but it didn't last long. The danger that her instinct picked up was rapidly increasing. It was clear that something was moving toward them. And when she examined the danger level that was higher than even a Peak Level Demon, then it wouldn't be hard to determine the cause. The Superior Demon was coming at them.

"I can run by myself," Anna shouted while trying to release her hand from his grip.

After seeing Anna's reaction, Noel released her while saying, "Bring him to the previous cave."

"I know." Anna nodded. Looking at how fast Noel's reaction was couldn't help but make her think, 'Yeah. This is why I need Noel. His brain is working faster than my instinct. It's not that my instinct is useless, but he can simply assess the situation and realize the danger before it's even coming. On the other hand, I'm heavily relying on my instinct to keep me safe. I have been training my mind, but I'm still not his match.'

Despite realizing that she couldn't win against him in this area, she was actually smiling. There was a realization that struck her mind. 'That's right. I have something in me that he needs. He has something I desire. We both need each other, so that's why I won't hesitate to risk my life for you… I wonder… if you can feel the same?'

Anna actually added 'can' in her thought because she knew that the execution, even though it was a scheme, still traumatized Noel. In addition to her bad behavior, it was clear that Noel would have to face that last barrier. Hence, she wondered if such a thing was possible or not.

Unfortunately, there was no way she could utter that question, let alone in the situation they were in.

Anna glanced at the back and saw the demons running for their lives. She didn't know the size of the earthworm, but it was clear that if the earthworm caught up, they would definitely die.

She wanted to turn her body around and shoot at them, but that would be troublesome because they were moving at their fastest speed. A slight change in the body posture was enough to decrease their speed or even trip them.

So, Anna thought about another thing and asked, "Noel. Can't you leave your ice behind? I mean, on the floor to make them slip."

"As much as I want to do it, I don't know what will happen with the earthworm behind them. With the ice, the friction is less, causing you to speed up, right? What will we do if the earthworm speeds up?" Obviously, Noel wanted to do it much more than her, but he couldn't risk her safety for this.

The moment their plan went awry, Anna would definitely suffer a huge loss.
