System vs Rebirth-Novel

[Mission: Punishment Game]

[Description: Hunt as many demons as possible within two hours]

[Reward: 10 SP and the right to order Anna for the rest of the day]

[Penalty: Gets ordered by Anna for the rest of the day.]

It might be due to him finally increasing his Spiritual Energy, he could finally gain missions again. And this time, the system planned to hype this game with this 10 Skill Points reward.

Noel couldn't help but smirk, planning to win this battle.

"Start!"

As soon as they heard the signal, Noel and Anna leaped forward.

Anna went straight to the demon that Rose showed. With her senses and illusion, Rose could find the demons and inform Anna immediately, making her the best support of the team.

However, Noel wasn't a pushover either. He used his Demon Hunter Medal and kept walking in the same direction. The size of his Demon Hunter Medal's detection area should be enough to cover a lot of space.

But as expected from Rose's ability, Anna was the first one to find the demon.

The demon was an oak tree. Its branches was spreading in all directions to protect its body.

"Hoh? This is a Mid Level Demon. Let's see how Anna handles it." Paul smiled, observing Anna's movement. Although they were helping the people, the members of the Demon Relief Squad had to equip themselves with extraordinary skills. So, he had to make sure Anna's ability could keep up with them.

As soon as the demon noticed Anna, the branches and the roots began to extend toward her.

Anna pulled out her sword.

"Mhm… That's a good sword. It looks so sharp and majestic. It even has Spirit Enchantments." Paul nodded in understanding, satisfied with her weapon. And now, it would be her time to prove her skill.

Although the snow hadn't fallen yet, winter had arrived. So, the trees had no leaves on it, making the branches look like a spear that could stab someone to death.

This would make it harder for Anna to reach the demon's body.

Anna smiled while drawing a circle with her left forefinger.

Suddenly, the circle sparked out lightning and shot out a lightning strike. The lightning strike wasn't big, but when it touched a branch, the lightning strike sparked and created an electric field that crushed everything in it.

The branches were completely crushed, leaving a hole in the demon's defense.

Anna jumped into the air to avoid the roots while taking advantage of this gap to slip past the tree's defense. She covered her sword with her lightning before precisely swinging at the place where the demon resided.

"!!!" Paul and the others widened their eyes in amusement. Anna's swing was sharp and precise, killing the demon in an instant.

"Amazing." Paul smiled excitedly. "She used that lightning to form a path for her and cleanly strike the demon tree. The lightning doesn't use too much Spiritual Energy and her sword is so sharp that she doesn't have to reinforce it excessively. She has both skills and judgment in the battle. It makes me want to fight her."

The others agreed with him. Anna had completed her task while conserving her stamina. This was a good mindset, considering she didn't know how many demons she had to fight today.

They were expecting her to do an even awesome job next time.

Meanwhile, Noel's luck seemed to be quite high too. He met a demon not long after Anna found her first demon.

This Advanced Level Demon had the form of a fox. Unlike the normal wolf who hunted in a pack, this Advanced Level Demon didn't seem to be working together with the others. Or this wolf might have devoured his entire pack.

Nonetheless, Noel had considered this wolf as his prey.

"We're pretty lucky. To think Noel will find an Advanced Level Demon this soon." Stella nodded excitedly.

"Still, Stella… Do you remember his movement earlier?" Jonathan glanced at her, recalling what happened earlier. Noel was running straight before he suddenly turned around and found this demon. It was an abrupt movement, but it showed that Noel found the wolf with his sense alone.

"Yeah. His sense is quite good. It's a different sense from Rose. Unlike Rose who can observe the entire area, Noel's sense must lie in his sixth sense that can find a living being in his surroundings. Basically, the demon won't be able to sneak attack on him."

"Then, let's see whether he can take care of the Advanced Level Demon or not, shall we?" Zion nodded in agreement while gathering his Spiritual Energy in his feet. He was ready to help Noel in case the worst happened.

Surprisingly, Noel smiled. "There is no snow yet, but it seems the temperature boosts my ability quite a bit."

Noel took a deep breath, cooling down his body as if he was trying to match himself with the surrounding.

The wolf felt something different from Noel and immediately charged forward, trying to strike him down before he could harm him.

Even though Noel didn't close his eyes, he could still imagine the scene where Stella slashed the trunk.

"Precision. You're going to be my practice target." Noel looked at the demon coldly as if he thought the winner had been decided.

The moment the demon wolf jumped on top of him, Noel made two small steps to the right before spinning his body and waving his blade.

"!!!" Stella dropped her jaw, shocked. "That's… That's…"

"…" Jonathan remained silent while Zion gulped down. "That kind of precision is similar to your sword strike, Stella."

All three of them could see the wolf's left ear fall down to the ground.

Noel used his Contempt Emotion to fuel his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to increase his precision, but as expected, he still couldn't beat Stella in precision.

He tried to cut the ear completely, but there was still a part of the ear that failed to be cut.

"Only 90% of the ear was cut. It's not enough." Noel muttered and turned around, challenging the wolf again.
