System vs Rebirth-Novel

"Help!"

"!!!" The other Spirit Masters from both the Demon Banner Army and the Supreme Devil Organizations were alarmed by that shout.

Rose, who was having a hard time fighting two Spirit Masters, noticed this voice, thinking, 'It's not Noel's voice… If it's reached this point, I'm pretty sure that Noel has defeated that guy.'

Rose couldn't help but smile. She focused on one fact. Noel managed to defeat a Spirit Master, not a new Spirit Master, whose strength was still not far ahead from a Spirit Wielder, but a Spirit Master with solid strength.

It proved Noel's strength and potential. She couldn't wait to see how far Noel could go if he reached Spirit Master level.

Meanwhile, Ben was fired up. Noel had fought someone above his level, so he should work a bit harder to defeat two people of the same level.

'I can't lose to a Spirit Wielder, can't I?' Ben smiled.

The Spirit Masters from the Supreme Devil Organizations had come to a realization. They never expected their teammate couldn't handle a single Spirit Wielder.

One of them gritted his teeth and jumped away, "I'm going there to help!"

"Wait!" Ben and Rose stood in their way, preventing them from attacking Noel. Unfortunately, they were still outnumbered two to one.

And with Rose's ability not being focused on combat, she ended up letting one of them slip past her.

"Kh." Rose was frustrated. She truly had a hard time dealing with these Spirit Masters.

…

Noel fell on his butt, tired after fighting this Spirit Master. He had sustained a few injuries as well and his Spiritual Energy was depleted a lot.

He leaned on the tree while looking at the corpse.

'It's truly hard to fight against a Spirit Master by myself. And I defeated him this time because he underestimated me and tried to capture me instead of killing me.'

Noel sighed. After fighting against a Spirit Master, he realized a lot of his new objectives.

'I need a lot of things. I have to get more Spiritual Energy and break through to Spirit Master as soon as possible. The runes might be working, but I have to add more variants.

'The Everchanging Emotion Sword Style works, but it's still lacking a lot. Even this guy has a similar swordsmanship as me, but with a more unique and complete style.

'My fire is overbearing, but the more the person sees it, the more they are wary of it. I'm afraid I'd be in a more disadvantageous position the longer this fight lasted.

'Last but not least, the ice might work, but it's still too dangerous to expose it.' Noel sighed. He still remembered how greedy the guy's eyes were when he realized he had two elements.

'I'm afraid the kingdom will try to crush me wholeheartedly when they know about these two elements.

'Right now, there are only a few people who know about my two elements: the commander, the Third Prince, Anna, and the people in the Demon Relief Squad.

'With the fact that I'm being suppressed like this by a mere Spirit Master makes it clear that I won't be able to endure the suppression from other forces if this is exposed.'

Noel couldn't imagine the battle between many forces that wanted him and knew about his two elements' secret.

'Now that I think about it, did my father know about two elements before he executed this plan? What if my parents did this because they wanted to protect me?

'My father never really trained me in combat. Instead, he only taught me a few things regarding human characters and business plans.

'If he knew about Ardagan's secret and the importance of being chosen, his execution must be his way to help me escape the royal family's grasp.

'Basically, the instant they know about two elements like the one in legend, people will flock around me and assassins will start coming to eliminate future threats.

'It seems there are a lot of meanings behind the execution and I might have to ask my father about his reasons so as to avoid misunderstanding his intentions.'

Noel became more and more impressed with his father. It felt like everything he did, from the execution to Anna being the mastermind, was just a ploy to protect him.

Noel became more sure that he had to meet his father to understand the entire conspiracy.

As he wanted to think more about this matter, he was interrupted by the appearance of the Spirit Master from the organization.

"Raker!" A deep voice echoed from the side. It was filled with anger, shock, and grief.

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes as he turned his head around, finding another Spirit Master approaching him.

This Spirit Master didn't expect Noel to be able to defeat him. He deemed Noel as dangerous, not caring about Noel's potential or anything. He just wanted to avenge his dead teammate.

So, he rushed to Noel while covering his hands with Spiritual Energy.

Noel raised his blade. Although he was exhausted, he didn't plan to go down without a fight.

The Spirit Master waved his hand, sending forth all the energy built up in that palm. Noel also tried to strike it down, but before he had the chance to do so, there was a hand touching his shoulder.

Noel was startled, but this hand actually pulled him back as if trying to protect him. Then, he saw another hand that released the same amount of Spiritual Energy as the enemy was releasing.

Their energy clashed and caused a huge burst to the surrounding, blowing away all the dust and fallen leaves.

Noel was surprised by the amount of power those palms had, but soon, he raised his head and found out the identity of the person that helped him.

It turned out the one who had just arrived was none other than Jonathan. He was annoyed and frustrated that Noel didn't bring him here to handle these enemies. But more importantly, he was angry that these people dared to harm his family.

And he… was planning to kill them.
