System vs Rebirth Chapter 105 Fish

Chapter 105 Fish

In the meantime, Noel had arrived in front of the dam with a serious expression.

"There are two ways to lure them. If they're underwater, I can simply stand next to the dam. They will surely attack me. But if they're not underwater, I'll break a small portion of the dam so that the flowing water disturbs them. When they're trying to repair it, I'll kill them." Noel thought.

Since he didn't know whether there was a demon underwater or not, Noel stood next to the dam with Ardagan in his hand. He was in high alert, preparing for any kinds of attack coming from the demon.

This was a risky operation, but he needed to check this out because of the villagers. When they fetched the water from this dam, the beaver might attack them too, so he needed to get used to this battle to lower the danger.

Muscle Strengthening.

Spirit Aura Breathing.

Sword Aura.

Noel used all three of them to strengthen his power and increase his speed, waiting for the beaver.

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared before that whirlpool came out like that of a water spout. It rose for a few meters before it turned to Noel's direction.

"!!!" Noel hurriedly jumped to the side, avoiding the water.

As soon as it touched the ground, the water should splash and everything would have ended. But to his surprise, the water turned once again before hitting the ground as if it was alive.

"What?!" Noel widened his eyes, realizing that the water would continue to follow him. "Tsk. What is this demon trying to do? It can even control the water like this. I can't do any underwater fight because my fire won't work in the water and freezing the water just means trapping myself."

Noel looked around, wondering how to pull this demon out of the water. In the end, he tried to retreat to the woods so that the water wasn't enough to follow him.

Unfortunately for him, the water kept coming at him. There was plenty of water in the dam, so the demons could use all of it until it reaches Noel.

But Noel's unluckiness didn't stop there. Another water spout emerged and behaved like a living tornado that chased after Noel.

"There is another one?" Noel widened his eyes in shock. "I need to lure them out of the water or I won't be able to kill them. They can move like a fish in the water after all."

Noel looked around but found nothing that could pull them out of the water.

"Tsk." He clicked his tongue and used Increase Agility Rune and Strength Blessing Rune.

With this speed, Noel wouldn't have any trouble in dodging these two water tornadoes. At the same time, he wonder if there was a log that was big enough to be thrown into the water. But the log shouldn't be too big since his strength wasn't enough to carry that log, let alone throwing it.

"Ah, wait. I think I don't need a log. I have this, right?" Noel smirked and approached the water. The Spiritual Energy had gathered in the tip of his sword as the moment he reached the water, he swung his blade upward, throwing the Spiritual Energy that he gathered into the air.

As soon as the Spiritual Energy was on top of the water tornadoes, it changed shape into a giant sword. This giant sword should be bigger than a log that he could throw with his current strength and due to it being formed by Spiritual Energy, it was stronger.

Noel waved his left hand down as if commanding the sword to fall. "Sword Fall."

The giant sword fell with all the weight. But the tip of the sword was thin and sharp, so there wasn't a splash when it touched the water.

Still, Noel didn't mind because his original intention was to hit the beaver with that sword.

"Die!" Noel shouted, hoping that the sword managed to pierce one of them.

Suddenly, one of the water tornado stopped spinning and the water fell down to the ground, indicating that one of the demons had stopped controlling the water.

"Did I do it?" Noel smirked, knowing this was the chance to handle the other two demons.

As if answering his question, the third water tornado reappeared, causing Noel to be surrounded by three of them.

"Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue. "I missed. I need to find another way to handle this."

Noel thought for a moment and moved toward the bag he put down near the dam. That huge backpack contained the core wood of the Ancient Demon Tree. It was st.u.r.dy enough for him to use.

Without hesitation, Noel took out the biggest piece of the wood and used it like a s.h.i.+eld.

The Strength Blessing Rune and Muscle Strengthening showed their might. When the water tornado hit them, Noel wasn't pushed back immediately.

He managed to withstand the water force for a few seconds before he could feel the power was too much for him to handle.

"I see. I can protect myself with this for the time being." Noel muttered and started incorporating the s.h.i.+eld when he was moving. Dodging also became easier with this s.h.i.+eld since he could just break through one of the tornadoes when escaping from them.

"So, what should I do now…" Noel glanced to the dam. "It seems I can only use this tactic."

He ran toward the edge of the dam and cut down a small portion at the top, causing the water to flow through that one gap.

The flow of the water was quite big because the huge amount of water that had been stored within.

"Come out." Noel smirked, expecting the beaver to emerge from the water to stop him from destroying the dam they had worked hard for.

However, what came out next stunned even him. Instead of a beaver, a huge fish with two sharp canines in the front leaped out of the gap and pounced him, trying to rip him apart with those two big fangs.

The fish had a circular shape with a diameter of one meter, causing Noel to freak out.

"It's not a beaver! It's a freaking FIs.h.!.+"
