System vs Rebirth-Novel

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

The boulders crushed the demons easily, causing the demons behind them to either jump or trip. This was enough since their current objective was to buy time.

And with the second wall, the demons had to fill the ditch with their bodies again. And Clara would take that opportunity to bring more demons down before they reached the fort.

Though, it seemed that the Peak Level Demons had noticed her intention. They stepped forward and let out a thunderous roar simultaneously.

*Roar!*

"Kh?!" Clara and the Stone Lord gritted their teeth while looking at the demons. They knew that the monsters planned to use that huge roar to stop them for the time being, while the Advanced Level Demons took their time to crush the wall with their bodies. This way, Clara wouldn't be able to do anything, considering the Advanced Level Demons would shoot down her spider thread.

"Tsk." Clara clicked her tongue while glancing back, finding all the people had entered the gate and the latter was beginning to close. She said, "Our job is done here. We'll use this chance to retreat to the fort. Just stay in front of the wall."

"Got it." The Stone Lord nodded. "What will we do after that?"

"No need to do anything." Clara smirked. It didn't take too long for them to reach the wall. And the moment they stood in front of the wall, their bodies suddenly became light as the wind shot them upward and put them down next to Shale. "I know you're going to do the rest."

Shale nodded with a calm expression.

"Two Superior Demons and at least fifty Peak Level Demons. That's not all the mysterious facility has, I believe." Clara immediately gave a report while looking at the numerous demons. Although she wanted to ask the reason why Noel stood next to Shale, she understood his quality, so it wasn't that strange. The question could wait.

"Can both of you still fight?" Shale asked.

"Not a problem." Clara and the Stone Lord answered at the same time.

"Good." Shale raised his hand and waved it down.

All the people standing on top of the tower and the wall immediately released their Spiritual Energy, starting to shoot down the demons.

Even Noel participated in this attack. He gathered the energy in his fingertip and waved it sideways, shooting out a black colored phoenix.

The demons also saw them. Those who could release a long-ranged attack immediately utilized it to shoot down the attacks. As a result, most of the attacks blew up in the sky, including Noel's black colored phoenix.

But there was something different with Noel's phoenix.

Now that he had a Fire Heart, he enhanced the Undying Phoenix with this ability, amplifying its flame.

When it was shot down, an explosion occurred, but due to the effect of the Fire Heart, the Undying Fire became even more resilient.

They didn't simply disappear after the phoenix was destroyed. Instead, the remnant of the fire was scattered by the explosion and fell on top of the demons.

Using the demons as fuel, the Undying Fire completely filled the battlefield.

And this was why Noel loved ditches. Since the demons died after falling into the ditches due to the weight on top of them, they became the perfect fuel for his Undying Fire.

The ditches became the source of his fire and with the characteristic of the Undying Fire, it would continue to spread to the side and eventually cover the entire base. Maintaining the fire might require a lot of Spiritual Energy, but being able to kill a few hundred demons here was worth it. After all, he was rewarded by the system for repeatedly killing demons.

'Hahaha, I love ditches. I should have dug more ditches. After digging the ditches, I should dig more ditches.' Noel couldn't help but think like this after seeing how he repeatedly completed the missions. He was crazy because the kill was counted for himself, considering he was the one to kill them, not the joint effort like usual.

"!!!" But the reaction from the two Captains and the Stone Lord was completely different. The moment they saw the flame dominating the battlefield, they couldn't help but glance at Noel as if he was a monster.

They never thought there would be a flame that strong. The demons tried to extinguish it but to no avail. Meanwhile, the demons with lower intelligence ended up either looping around to avoid the flame or passing through the fire.

Still, there was one disadvantage to using this tactic. The Low Level Demon that wasn't killed immediately by the fire ended up carrying the fire toward the fort. If they slammed their bodies to the wall, the trunks used as a wall would be completely burned.

"Not good. We have to stop the incoming demons from reaching the wall. Can you stop that fire? It's good for us, but it's going to waste all our plans."

"As long as I stop infusing my Spiritual Energy, the flame will vanish. But that's not the time." Noel pointed forward. "We have to stop them for at least five minutes. Now that they have been weakened and the demons are getting scattered, it's the best time to kill as many demons as possible before the situation becomes chaotic. To do that, we have to send those burning monsters away."

Shale narrowed his eyes. As he said, if they could complete his instruction, it wouldn't be weird if they managed to kill a third of their enemies.

Shale didn't have time to think. Once he thought Noel's plan was quite good, he immediately asked, "Just to confirm it. Even if it's burning the wooden wall, you can extinguish it when you stop pouring your Spiritual Energy?"

"Yes," Noel answered without hesitation.

The moment he heard that answer, he raised his hand. "Everyone, shoot down those burning demons and send them back to set more demons ablaze!"

Noel smirked. Not a single of them realized they had been manipulated by Noel to work for him. The more the demons died from the fire, the more he completed the mission. This way, he would be the biggest contributor, complete his mission, and show his strength to make him even more important.

It was killing three birds with one stone. But Noel had one more reason… and that one reason might be able to turn it into killing four birds with one stone.
