System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1114 Noel vs Spider (3)

Two of the Superior Demons released a beam to destroy the barrier. Unfortunately, even when the beams exploded at the same time, the barrier remained intact.

The other two Superior Demons rammed their bodies onto the barrier. Both of them had quite big bodies, so when they hit the barrier, the ground shook a bit.

Just like the previous attack, the spiritual barrier remained intact. Still, this was the difference between rune cards and rune spells. If these spiritual barrier runes were made of rune spells, Noel could pour in more energy, which would completely withstand their attacks.

But the rune cards contained a limited amount of spiritual energy. The attacks had scratched the surface. Another attack would probably crack them and one last attack would destroy them.

The ancient demon spider was quite shocked to find how easily Noel blocked the Superior Demons' attacks. It immediately let out a cry.

The Superior Demons seemed to be trying to flee, knowing that they shouldn't stay any longer.

Sadly for them, Noel didn't plan to let them live any longer. Killing multiple Superior Demons at the same time would probably be too greedy, so he chose one of them to focus on.

The spider released her web while the other Superior Demons tried to help. Even the lower level demons had released another volley of attacks.

Nonetheless, Noel was one step faster than them. His target was trying to block him, but Noel didn't care.

Imperial Sword.

Noel cut through the barrier. The Superior Demon waved both paws to stop Noel, but it didn't realize that Noel's first target was its paws. He cut them both with a single slash.

Without anything to protect its body, the Superior Demon could only see Noel's blade coming directly to its neck and sending its head flying.

Before the other attacks reached him, Noel used his fastest speed to move away from the location. He even headed to the scattered remnants that managed to gather more than a hundred demons in a single spot.

It was supposed to be a joint group to attack Noel, but they ended up becoming a target.

The demons tried to attack Noel, but Noel simply released his Sword Transmutation with ice and anger.

All of them were split horizontally, and their flesh was frozen right after they were cut.

Even though it hurt, the spider didn't have any choice but to kill Noel with those two legs. It couldn't jump anymore, but Noel was also having a hard time with those two legs.

While the giant size was beneficial for destruction, its mobility was still too restricted, especially against an opponent of the same level. For example, the spider had to use six legs to withstand its entire body, so only two front legs could be used.

There were still pedipalps and fangs, but Noel might be waiting for them as well.

Hence, the spider tried to attack Noel from the front once again, impaling him with those giant legs.

The remaining Superior Demons also surrounded him with the help of lower level demons. This time, they planned to use the number to hide the real attackers.

Noel frowned. It was a clever trick. Even he would have a problem if he deployed his barrier at the wrong time. These demons could overwhelm that barrier with their numbers and create an opening for the Superior Demons.

He could move to the side, but the spider could easily follow his movement due to that giant body.

So he had no choice but to take this head on.

'My Spirit Fusion Ability is only 30% right now with only natural recovery. The spider should have recharged for about 60% since it has some time bought by these demons. In that case…' Noel took a deep breath.

Noel raised his hand, drawing his rune above his head.

"!!!" The spider and the other demons noticed what was going on. However, this rune was different from anything they had so far, especially with the fact that Noel needed time to complete it.

They wanted to destroy it, but they were made of spiritual energy, so unless the spider made her move, it would be impossible to disrupt the rune.

And that was why Noel used his other hand to swing his sword at the two spider legs. If they approached the rune and released the spiritual energy that changed the natural flow of energy, he would be in trouble.

Divine Slash!

He actually sent forth the emotion and ice element along with this Divine Slash, cutting a fourth of the legs' length.

Scree!

The spider was wailing in pain, but it didn't really matter. She had accomplished her objective.

Noel immediately used the Rune Cards to form a protective barrier around him. But that was when the demons started ramming their bodies against these runes. They even released all their spiritual energy to launch an attack.

The demons behind them also attacked the barrier, even if it meant injuring the demons near it.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

All Advanced Level Demons and Peak Level Demons were using their all just to weaken the barrier.

Noel frowned because he was expecting the Superior Demons to launch the final blow.

And that moment came when he heard a crack coming from the right barrier.

"!!!" Noel turned his head to the right side. There was another volley of attacks coming from the sky.

They hit the area around him, including the barrier. Noel could see at least two powerful attacks that should have been released by the two Superior Demons shooting beams earlier.

The barrier shattered into pieces, allowing the demons to enter.

However, another demon actually rushed toward him, using its giant body to trample over the demons on its way.

"Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue. Instead of using his sword to block this guy, he actually removed all the barriers around him. This way, nothing would stop him in case he was blown away.

*Rooo!*

The boar Superior Demon let out a roar as orange-colored energy erupted from its body.

Noel jumped into the air, but the Superior Demon simply raised its head, hitting Noel with its tusk.

Noel twisted his body a bit so that his foot would lessen the impact, but Noel felt his bone crack from blocking it with only his spiritual energy.

"At least, it's not broken…" Noel let out a sigh of relief as the hit launched him into the air. There were a lot of attacks launched right away, trying to hit him before he landed on the ground.

Unfortunately for them, Noel had finished forming his rune. This rune was none other than the high level rune, Executioner Rune.

Back when he was still a Spirit Grandmaster, he killed a lot of demons as the rune drained more than half of his energy.

Now that he had reached Spirit Transcendence rank, he realized that a single executioner required twenty percent of his energy. However, the power it contained should be more powerful.

"Let's try it, shall we? Executioner Rune, activate!" Noel spread his arms.

The Executioner Rune shone brightly as a pillar of light started to appear from the ground and shot into the sky before expanding in all directions, engulfing everything around.
