System vs Rebirth

The next day.

Noel and Dimitri had finally regrouped.

"Master. I don't think they are chasing me." Dimitri reported while looking back. They were a few kilometers outside the city as Noel had chosen this place as a strategic rendezvous point.

"I know." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "If my prediction is not wrong, then they are going to come after Tristan and Sandra."

"Are you planning to use them to escape, Master?" Dimitri asked, thinking if Tristan and Sandra would be sacrificed.

However, Noel immediately shook his head while pointing northeast. Dimitri agreed, and they decided to start running.

"Looking back at how the Supreme Devil Organization defeated me two times, I finally know that they are an organization that emphasizes strength. The fact that you heavily injured Nelfer is enough to slow them down."

"Shouldn't I kill Nelfer?"

"After depleting all that energy, can you kill Nelfer within an hour?"

"If I use my True Spirit Body, I should be able to."

"But after that, you'll become vulnerable. What will we do against Qiel?"

"That's true. If I don't use my True Spirit Body, then I will probably need a lot more time because I can't have too many injuries to handle Qiel afterward."

"Exactly. And Qiel shouldn't leave Nelfer for too long, knowing that you are more than capable of killing Nelfer. Hence, it's better for you to retreat before she comes."

"Then, shouldn't they chase after us?"

"No. Qiel should have stayed in that city for a bit more and noticed the movement of Legolaz and the others. With that, she will suspect something and change her plan from chasing after us to Tristan and Sandra."

"But it will be hard even for her to bypass Legolaz and the second prince, giving us a bit more time. By that time, Tristan and Sandra should have reached the next city and hired an escort to another city."

Dimitri looked down and asked, "If that's the case, shouldn't Qiel have figured out our path?"
