System vs Rebirth

The sun was about to set. The warriors on each side were preparing for the last clash.

Even Noel had returned to the top of the wall to command the army personally. He knew that his opponent was the yellow flower.

However, the yellow flower hadn't made its move after they killed the second demon tree. It seemed that the yellow flower was preparing to retreat with this new knowledge about the battlefield.

"The sky is turning black." Duke Briton looked at the sky while standing next to Noel. He was a bit curious about how Noel planned to defeat them this time. The demon tree was dead, so the demons must have another plan to settle this.

"Duke Briton. I have one last question for you." Noel raised a finger.

"What is it?"

"During a battle, if the two sides are unleashing all their power, which one will win?"

Duke Briton was a bit perplexed by this question. On the one hand, the answer looked obvious. The stronger side would be the winner. On the other hand, this question didn't feel like an ordinary one.

Instead of replying with the obvious question, he pondered it for a moment before saying, "The stronger one will win... is what I wanted to say. But should I say the winner is the stronger one?"

Duke Briton only reversed his answer, but the meaning became entirely different. That was right. There was no telling whether the stronger one was this side or that side. Instead, the stronger one would be the side that defeated their enemies.

And due to that answer Duke Briton realized what Noel was planning to do.

"What help do you need?" Duke Briton asked.

"The Spirit Masters of your side."

Duke Briton let out a long sigh. "Alright."

"Please take command of that army. I will be the one handling the wall."

"It's truly amusing to fight with someone like you. You can rest assured that I will set up a perfect formation to defeat the enemies. Make sure your runes don't hit them." Duke Briton waved his hand while walking to the elevator.

Noel had assembled a small elite army right in front of the gate.

When the sky turned dark, the demons looked like they were retreating.

However, this was just a fake. Once the sky turned completely dark, they would have a hard time seeing the demons if they suddenly launched an ambush.

Hence, Noel shouted, "Don't drop your guard down yet."

The soldiers didn't understand Noel's instruction, but all the Spirit Grandmasters had been briefed on what they were trying to do.

The Gem Lord, Faust, and Clara had been waiting for their turn on top of the wall. Milfa, Paladin Aurelia, and the Water Lord were also ready to unleash all their power.

Once the visibility had been reduced to only several meters toward them, Noel blinked his eyes, activating the Moon Blessing. In that instant, his eyes were capable of looking at the night like it was day, allowing him to observe the movement of the demons.

As he expected, the demons were preparing for the last charge. This was going to determine the outcome of the battle.

Unfortunately for them, Noel knew their plan and aim.

The soldiers also became silent, trying to see through the darkness. The only thing they could see was the light that the Light Rune had produced, which only had a short range.

All of a sudden, the demons rushed forth. There wasn't a single roar coming from them and because of that, the soldiers panicked the moment they saw them.

"Demons!"

"They are coming back!"

"Hurry up!"

"Get into your position!"

The beasts were launching an all-out attack. All the incoming Superior Demons were moving in unison. Even the flying beasts coordinated with the land demons.

There were already tens of thousands of corpses surrounding the entire city, especially the city wall. Their corpses had been stacked up pretty high outside the wall, which became the stairs for this last charge.

"Get into your position. They are coming up!"

The soldiers were raising their shields.

However, Noel smiled. "Unleash the Blast Rune!"

All of a sudden, multiple Blast Runes appeared in front of the wall, unleashing all their power in one go.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of explosions once again filled the battlefield as the corpses near the wall were launched in all directions.

Some of the bigger demons couldn't be launched by the Blast Runes, but the smaller demons ended up getting scattered around, causing the stairs made of corpses to be half-destroyed.

The demons that climbed up fell to the ground, confused.

This was one of Noel's ideas for destroying the stairs. One of the two runes he had hidden this whole time.

It was a rough plan, but an effective one.

Now that the area in front of the walls had been cleared up, Noel could finally use the second trap.

"Activate it."

Another wave of runes appeared, but this time, it didn't release any attacks. Instead, it was actually absorbing the blood the demons spilled on this land.

That was right. The last trump card he had was the Intermediate Rune, Blood Rune. It was the same rune as the one embedded on Anna's sword.

By activating this rune, the Blood Rune would charge another wave of energy for the wall. The more blood they spilled on this ground, the stronger the wall would become.

And with this, there was no need to use the energy to maintain their defense anymore. In other words, they could use all that energy to launch an all-out attack.

"Attack them!"

After hearing that comment, Tristan shouted, "Launch all our Rain of Light Runes. We will kill all of them at once!"

Grandell shouted, "All the Meteor Catapults attack!"

"Ballistas squad! Launch everything we have!"

In that instant, the rain of light showered the demons with a might they had never seen before. Because of the darkness, the demons had a hard time locating the Meteor Rune that the catapults launched.

Only those with high perception or night vision were able to react to their attacks.

The ballistas were also shooting down all the demons, not limited to the giant ones. There was no need to focus on them anymore.

The battlefield became chaotic once again, but this time, the humans didn't know whether they hit the enemies or not.

However, this was the mechanism Noel had devised before the war.

Once the demons were occupied with his attacks, the gate was opened and the bridge was lowered down.

Behind the gate was an army composed of elite soldiers. The leaders of this army were Howard and Andreas. Since both of them had used too much strength to deal with multiple Superior Demons, they didn't have enough energy to kill another Superior Demon. So, their task was to eliminate the Peak Level Demons or lower.

The army consisted of twenty Spirit Masters they recruited during the first migration as well as more than one hundred elite soldiers at Spirit Wielders or below.

"Onward!" Howard roared as he led the army outside the city.

The demons with night vision should be able to see what is going on. So, they hurriedly informed the Superior Demons about them and launched an all-out attack on that gate to enter the city.

It seemed that Howard was also planning to attack them head-on.

Sadly for them, the second phase of the plan had begun.

"Go to the left! Don't look at those demons."

The soldiers followed his instructions with absolute obedience. Meanwhile, the demons didn't understand this sudden maneuver until Noel commanded his soldiers. "Brighten up the battlefield!"

"Fire!" The soldiers threw numerous fist-sized objects as hard as they could.

Once they reached the ground, the objects activated the rune embedded in them and emitted a strong light, brightening the entire battlefield.

With this, they could see the demons pretty easily.

Tristan and the leaders shouted at the same time. "Aim at those demons!"

The situation instantly changed from releasing their attack blindly to focusing on every single demon they could see.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

A lot of demons instantly fell from their attacks, unable to respond. Some of the Superior Demons moved forth to protect the other demons. They should regain their composure and launch a counterattack.

Meanwhile, some Superior Demons actually moved toward the army that left the city earlier.

"Captain Howard. Some Superior Demons are coming toward us!" One of the soldiers reported.

"I told you that you don't have to look at them." Howard didn't even bother to glance at these demons.

After all, an arrow and a web appeared in front of them, blasting all these Superior Demons away.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Roar!*

The Superior Demons were shocked and stepped back. Clara had finally stepped out of the city while Faust remained on the wall, ready to snipe all these demons.

The Flying Superior Demon saw this, thinking that Clara would be a perfect target to be eliminated first. However, a gem appeared in front of him and exploded.

"!!!" The flying demon was startled, realizing that his opponent remained the same.

"It's time to settle everything." The Gem Lord smiled.

Howard smiled because he knew that his Lord must have a plan.

"Captain. We have a hard time seeing the enemy in this darkness." Another soldier reported while frowning. If they got ambushed this way, their army would suffer greatly.

"Don't worry. They are here." Howard smirked while looking up.

The flying squads had once again taken off. They were dropping the same small objects to the ground, brightening the entire area.

With this, there was no problem with fighting during the night.

"You have seen your target. Our objective is to sweep all the demons starting from the west!"

"Yes, sir." The soldiers, who realized that everything was according to plan, instantly replied in excitement.

There were only low level demons, so they could only get exterminated by Howard and the others.

However, there was still one Superior Demon on Paladin Aurelia's side.

That was why the moment he saw the army appearing in his area, the Water Lord rushed toward Paladin Aurelia.

"Hey, young lady. It's time to kill the two Superior Demons on your side." The Water Lord smiled.

"In that case, I will trouble you to take care of that spider. I will handle the other one." Paladin Aurelia smiled. She had been waiting for this.

The moment she jumped into the air, two pairs of angelic wings appeared on his back, releasing a blinding light that revealed all the demons hiding in the darkness.

"Heaven Judgment."

The Water Lord smiled. "Liquid Manipulation!"

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

On the other side, Milfa couldn't help but raise her head. "It seems that they have begun. I guess my last job is to kill the Superior Demon in front of me. To think that this kid could win against all these enemies. It's truly surprising. This battle will surely shock the entire country."
