System vs Rebirth

"Lightning Dragon."

The moment he released the arrow, the lightning sparked. It was so fierce that the lightning seemed to have expanded.

As the name implied, the lightning gradually formed the dragon's shape. The dragon was five meters tall and its wingspan could reach fifteen meters.

The dragon opened its mouth and swallowed a demon before it exploded, scattering all the lightning.

The lightning was rampaging on the ground. The Low Level Demons had their bodies shredded apart. The Mid Level Demons were stronger, but they still couldn't escape death or heavy injuries.

The Advanced Level Demons had utilized their Spiritual Energy to block this attack, but the lightning still broke through their defense and injured them. Although it wasn't to the point where it was fatal to them, the injuries still couldn't be ignored.

Noel, who could see everything from the top of the carriage, couldn't help but feel amazed. That Lightning Dragon was far fiercer than his Undying Phoenix. However, there was one thing that the lightning couldn't beat his fire, it was the character of the element itself.

So, Noel still had some confidence he could somehow destroy the Lightning Dragon had it aimed at him. Even so, releasing this kind of power with such ease should be expected from the Demon Barrier Squad's Captain.

Though, Noel didn't forget their current situation. That Lightning Dragon had killed or heavily injured the demons around the gate.

There were only less than ten demons near the gate, so this was the perfect chance for them to go through the gate.

Although it was extremely slow, he could see the gate was lifted up.

"The gate is going to be opened. We are—" Noel shouted, but before finishing his sentence, he noticed the injury the captain had. There was no way these demons could do such a thing to Captain Faust. So, he realized there might be something waiting for them.

Noel immediately scanned the area and suddenly found a surge of Spiritual Energy on the horizon. He could only see it through the help of the Spirit Link.

Noel gritted his teeth and pointed in the Spiritual Energy's direction, shouting, "Jonathan. I need you to throw all those demon bodies in that direction!"

"!!!" Jonathan wasn't the only one who was surprised by that instruction. Rose also raised her head, trying to follow the direction Noel pointed at. With her sharp sense, she realized why Noel wanted to do such a thing. She shouted without hesitation, "Do it!"

Jonathan was still confused, but his teammates weren't people who would order such a weird thing without any reason.

So, he immediately raised the demon corpses with his Telekinesis, shooting them in the north direction.

Suddenly, a huge ray of light flew into the sky. Once it reached its peak, the light suddenly turned into a giant circle.

This circle split into hundreds of smaller needles and started falling in the Demon Relief Squad's direction.

Although Noel wanted to focus on this sudden attack, he had to see the Demon Barrier Squad Captain's reaction. There was no way the demon who released such an attack was an ordinary demon. So, this demon might be at least a Peak Level Demon.

With such power, Faust would surely warn them. Yet, he didn't. That was why Noel had to confirm whether this person was an ally or not.

Although he had a hard time looking at his face, it seemed that Faust was also shocked. They might have to question Faust after this.

After getting his answer, Noel turned around, wondering what the ray of light could do against them.

As expected, the demon's attack was far stronger than they imagined.

Even though Jonathan had used the demon corpses as their shields, the light pierced through some of the corpses and fell on top of them.

Stella suddenly appeared in front of them. She spun her body, causing the wind on her blade to erupt and create a tornado. The tornado spun some of the attacks while the rest were stopped by Rose and Ben.

Rose had to use the Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune, while Ben simply used his weapon.

Nonetheless, they managed to stop this attack. And it seemed that Faust had changed his focus.

As soon as he saw those attacks, he immediately formed another lightning arrow, aiming at the source of the light.

The arrow flew like that of a cannon. With the power and momentum, the lightning arrow blasted everything in the area.

The explosion created a crater and the lightning destroyed everything. If he ever used this attack to hit a fortified wall, that wall would surely be destroyed within a few strikes even if it had been enhanced by powerful Spirit Enhancement.

But due to the blast, a demon suddenly jumped into the air, dodging the blast.

This was the first time he saw this kind of demon. The demon looked like a human, but instead of standing on two feet, this demon stood on four feet like that of a lizard. It didn't have a tail, but it had spikes on its back.

Still, the most important thing to notice from this demon was its mouth. It had a long jaw like that of a barrel. When it opened its mouth, a blue light shone from the throat and flew like a beam.

Faust wasn't going to lose. He also sent forth his arrow and struck the demon's attack. Each blast neutralized the other as if their strength was equal.

Judging from its strength, it seemed that the demon was a Superior Demon.

"This is going to be harder than I originally thought…" Noel bit his lips before turning around. "But our objective doesn't change."

That was right. They still had to enter the base first before they could relax.

Paul was still leading at the very front and charged at the demons. He opened up the way for them until they reached the ditch in front of the wall.

The gate had been raised to a human height, but it would still be a bit too low for their carriage to go in.

At the same time, the demons tried to enter through that gap while some humans came out to protect it.

This was their last battle before reaching the gate.

"Paul, Stella. Focus on the demons near the gate. Zion, go straight to the gate and help those people. I'm going to support all of you."
