System vs Rebirth

Qiel couldn't help but smile when she witnessed the shift on the battlefield. As she expected, the kids would be the greatest weaknesses that Noel and Dimitri had to cover.

However, Noel alone wouldn't be enough to stop her and the other Spirit Grandmasters. She could see that his plan was to let Dimitri defeat Nelfer as quickly as possible before helping with this situation.

If Dimitri could stop Qiel, it wouldn't be much of a problem for Noel to stop the other guys.

Sadly, Noel had miscalculated Nelfer's strength. No, more like, Noel had correctly predicted his strength, but Nelfer simply surpassed that expectation. The frustration that Nelfer had endured for the last few days was released at this time, allowing him to continue moving even with such injuries.

'Nelfer can continue attacking the kids, forcing Dimitri to block his attack and injuring him gradually. The other Spirit Grandmasters could become a distraction while trying to capture those two kids. I will restrain Noel's movement.' Qiel recalculated the situation.

She considered Dimitri's True Spirit Body, but there was no sign of it yet.

Noel had to do something to escape from this situation, especially if he didn't want Dimitri to use his True Spirit Body.

But would Qiel allow him to do so?

Qiel had aimed her bow at him, ready to release multiple arrows.

Sensing the fluctuation of energy, Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.

'What should I do? If it continues like this, the two kids will be captured before reaching the border. Dimitri might use the True Spirit Body, but it will lead to a severe delay in my future plans… Is it worth it? But if we can't escape from here, there is no future… no, wait, there is one more thing…' Noel looked at Qiel with a grim expression as though he had steeled his resolve.

Feeling his fighting intent, Qiel released three arrows. The first arrow flew straight at him while the other three curved to the left and right.

Noel raised both hands. He sent forth Undying Phoenix from his right hand and created Snow Shield on the right.

The Undying Phoenix flew at the arrow at first, but it suddenly curved before it reached the arrow as if trying to match the arrow's movement.

"!!!" Even Qiel was surprised. Noel actually matched the arrow movement just so that the arrow was exposed to the fire longer. Even though the arrow was faster, it was enough because the Spiritual Energy dissipated at high speed to the point where the arrow disappeared before it could reach him.

On the other side, the Snow Shield perfectly blocked the arrow, leaving only a small trace. Noel easily knocked it down with his blade.

However, Noel didn't do anything against the arrow that came straight ahead.

"What?" Qiel couldn't help but gasp. "Is he going to take my arrow?"
