System vs Rebirth

Noel didn't know what happened, but one thing was clear, Qiel had died in one way or another.

While Anna was heading to Layla, Noel remained at the bottom of the wall to prepare for the next scenario.

The sky was already orange, so it wouldn't take that long for it to become dark. That would be the moment they would turn around on the battlefield.

"What is the current report?" Noel asked.

"Three Superior Demons on the east side have died and one is severely injured. Two Superior Demons on the west have died and the other two are still fighting, specifically the one on Paladin Aurelia's side."

"How are the protectors?"

"Ma'am Milfa is exhausted, but it doesn't seem that she will be going down soon. Paladin Aurelia is exterminating the lower level demons and reducing their number to only a fifth of their original number. The same applies to the Water Lord."

"Tell Captain Milfa to not exert herself too much. As for Paladin Aurelia, she is to exterminate the demons in the south. The Water Lord will be controlling the west side of our city."

"Yes, sir!" The soldier saluted before sending a messenger to them.

"What about the wall?" Noel asked.

"The north wall has exterminated five Superior Demons, including the crocodile that managed to enter the city. And according to you, my lord, one more Superior Demon has died along with two Devil Saints. The remaining two Devil Saints are fleeing right now. In total, we have killed eleven Superior Demons."

"Eleven, huh…" Noel's expression turned solemn. From what he could see, the enemy had about 22 Superior Demons. On his side, there were twelve grandmasters. If not for the fact that their grandmasters were stronger than their demons, this fight would be a disaster.

"At first, there were only 19 Superior Demons, but we realized that there were two Superior Demon Trees and one yellow flower. But that demon flower shouldn't be able to possess high combat prowess. In that case…" Noel muttered before asking, "How are the Gem Lord and Faust?"

"They are conserving their stamina."

"Great." Noel smirked, thinking, 'Faust should have no problem killing one Superior Demon. Someone as strong as the Gem Lord would be able to kill two. We still have Clara and once we launch a full scale attack, Paladin Aurelia and the Water Lord can unleash all their strength to kill at least one Superior Demon each.

'Milfa is the same. She has been using a lot of energy the whole time, but she should be capable of defeating one more Superior Demon. This means we can kill seven more Superior Demons. With only four Superior Demons left and one of them only the yellow flower, they should be pulling back.'
