System vs Rebirth

Noel was crossing the woods while thinking, 'If there is an enemy hiding around, this place should be perfect. At first, I thought that Milfa's side would be the perfect place, but because of Duke Briton's power, it's not a perfect place to hide.

'At the same time, there is nothing but a barren plain on the south. In other words, if someone is going to hide, it's going to be on the west side between the city and the river.'

Noel contemplated. The enemy this time was actually able to ambush the city.

From the looks of the city, it seemed that they managed to sneak inside. He doubted the cause was a human since it wouldn't be good to leave behind any hints.

In other words, there should be another party observing from a distance, and this group was the culprit for all the commotion.

In Noel's mind, an image of a person who was capable of doing something like this appeared.

There weren't a lot of people that could sneak inside the city, let alone bring all these beasts. If there was a person like that, he was either the one working with the darkness or actually appearing out of nowhere.

If it was the former, Dimitri should have known them. If it was the latter, there was only one person.

She had the ability to create a portal and teleport from one place to another, so it wouldn't be weird for her to create a portal and drag all the demons inside.

With how Anna described their endings in their previous lives, Noel had taken this possibility into account.

And it seemed that he was right.

When he was crossing the woods, his Demon Hunter Medal actually picked up the presence of the demon. It was already weird for the demons to hide inside the woods while the rest were fighting on the front lines, let alone the fact that he felt more and more demons. Their numbers should be in the hundreds.

Without hesitation, Noel turned around and looked into this.

Instead of the demons, he was looking for a person. Though, it didn't take too long for him to find her, considering she had to be in the center of this mass so that she could teleport all of them inside the city.
