System vs Rebirth

While killing the demons, Noel couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when the demons cleared up the trees so that Noel could see everything behind them.

And among those demons, Noel could see a giant boar. Its height reached three meters. If it rammed its giant body, it might not be able to destroy the barrier, but it would shake the barrier.

However, what piqued Noel's interest was not the boar, but the people standing on top of it. There were two Spirit Grandmasters standing on top of the boar. The fact that they could do that indicated their identities. And they were not the only ones who could be seen.

As the trees were cleared up, a few more people were spotted.

"This is…" Noel frowned. It was clear that they wanted Noel to come out of the barrier. If they didn't manage to separate Noel from Layla, it would be impossible to do anything to him.

On the one hand, Noel should capture them and interrogate them for information. On the other hand, he wasn't so foolish as to fall into their trap.

He could just kill all these demons first before chasing after them. Even if they ran away, he could still go after their base. Though, he doubted there was anything useful. In the end, what Noel wanted was to kill all these demons since they were the ones threatening his territory.

Even the Third Prince couldn't say anything if he just said that these people ran away and he couldn't chase after them because of his condition.

Noel smiled at them as though he provoked them by not falling into their traps.

The people from the organization didn't seem to be rushing even though a lot of demons had fallen and Noel had no sign of coming out. It seemed that he was so sure that they could make Noel leave.

"As expected, everything has gone according to Madam Qiel's plan," One of the Devil Bishops said while squinting his eyes. "He wouldn't fall for our provocation and endanger himself."

"Does that mean we still have to make our way through that fire? Although we have demons to spare, that fire can't be suppressed."

"I told you earlier that everything has gone according to Madam Qiel's plan, right? She knew that he wouldn't leave, so we just had to force him." He shook his head and shouted down. "Get ready to direct the flower."

"Where?"

"That way." The Devil Bishop pointed to the south.

The guy didn't know why it had to be this direction, but he still followed the instruction. He took out the powder and spread it to the south as if signaling the demons to change directions.

The flowers on top of the demon's heads suddenly faced to the south.

Noel and his group had killed around seven hundred to eight hundred demons. There were still one and a half thousand demons surrounding them as if it were to lock them down. However, the rest of the demons actually turned to the south and ignored everything.

"Huh?!" Noel frowned. He couldn't see why the Supreme Devil Organization turned that way. If their original purpose was to stall him here and attack the city, it would be useless. After all, he still had the Sword Arbiter as well as Dimitri protecting two of his cities.

He soon remembered the discussion they had earlier, regarding the organization's aim in stalling him.
