System vs Rebirth

"Gaahhhh!"

"!!!" Noel could hear the scream coming from the other side of the sandhill. That was the signal from Dimitri. Without hesitation, he circulated his Spiritual Energy to the Enhance Forward Rune and launched himself forward.

That action obviously didn't escape Qiel's surveillance.

"He is speeding up now?" She hurriedly turned around, trying to aim the bow at the sky to make it curve again. But she was hesitant to shoot it.

After all, the brief moment she required to form the next arrow would expose her vulnerable state. And Dimitri was someone strong enough to exploit all that.

Additionally, a half-baked arrow wouldn't be able to break through Noel's defense. She could finally see what their plan was.

It seemed that Noel was confident in stopping her arrows. Even if she pursued him directly, it would mean that Nelfer would be in danger.

All of a sudden, another explosion echoed from behind her. It was Nelfer's punch that struck the ground, causing Dimitri to flee to the left.

"Nelfer?!" Qiel widened her eyes in surprise.

"Go. I will definitely stop him here." Nelfer shouted, showing his determination in his gaze.

In that split second, Qiel had to make a decision. Helping Nelfer would mean Noel escaping, and Dimitri wasn't so weak that they could defeat him. On the other hand, if it took too long, Nelfer would definitely die in Dimitri's hands. In the worst case scenario, Nelfer dies and she fails to capture Noel.

This would definitely be a big blow to the organization. And Noel would definitely be hailed as a hero from the Demon Banner Army, which would be smooth sailing to become a noble. In other words, this was Noel's real plan.

Qiel gritted her teeth and hurriedly shot a few arrows into the air. One arrow flew upward and exploded in the sky, creating a blast that could be seen from far away. In that instant, a few Spirit Masters and Grandmasters from another position started moving toward the signal.

At the same time, the remaining arrows curved and approached Noel.
