System vs Rebirth Chapter 147 Challenging The Danger

Chapter 147 Challenging The Danger

[Unknown source has entered Master's consciousness.]

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock.

[Burn/Freeze/Let it be?]

'Something is entering my consciousness? What is that something? But we're talking about the Advanced Level Demon who is specialized in controlling its targets… Don't tell me.' Noel's expression turned cold.

He also glanced at Anna. If she was infected, she should be the same because they were together the whole time.

However, the most shocking thing he realized was the Demon Hunter Medal.

'What's going on, Ardagan? I have been using the Demon Hunter Medal that allows me to sense all demons within fifty meters radius. Are you telling me the Advanced Level Demon can influence me from outside the radius?' Noel bit his lips, wondering if the Demon Hunter Medal was any use.

Back in the dam, he used it to prepare himself against the incoming demon from the water, while using it to locate the demon around them this time.

Yet, the only thing they could find was only normal demons.

Noel narrowed his eyes while looking at Anna.

"This cold wind is very uncomfortable. If I'm a normal person, I would have fallen sick by this time without any proper warm clothes." Anna sighed, complaining. She was using the knight uniform, so it wasn't enough to handle this cold wind that seemed to be lower than any places she visited by a few degrees.

"Wind?" Noel widened his eyes in shock and grabbed Anna's shoulders.

"Ehm, Noel?" Anna was startled due to Noel's sudden action. He was actually staring at her intensely as if he wanted to push her down right away. But the Noel she knew wasn't someone like that, so she didn't know what to do.

Noel kept staring at her without blinking. His mind was revolving crazily, contemplating about this matter.

After a minute, Anna felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to push him away, but the intense gaze didn't change as if he was in deep thought. She couldn't afford to take this matter lightly anymore like what she did when they got pincered in two directions.

Anna only closed her eyes and let Noel do whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't cross the limit, she wouldn't do anything.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, Noel let her go and took a step back as if he was playing with her. He just wanted to make her embarra.s.sed with that action.

"Hey—" Anna wanted to complain but stopped when she heard Noel muttering, "The wind, the spore, and the demons… So, that's how it is. The Advanced Level Demon is a mushroom, so it'll be releasing its spores into the air and let the wind carry it. Now that I think about it, the wind is particularly strong in this forest. Why did I not realize it until now?

'The demon is using the wind to carry its spores so that it can control more demons. If that's the case, all we have to do is to follow the wind."

"!!!" Anna blinked a few times, never thinking the situation was like this. She thought Noel was considering about her proposal earlier in that silence, but it seemed he was thinking about how to track the demon. Even if they caused many explosions, it would be useless if they went to the wrong way.

Noel wanted to pin point their direction and started working from there.

On the other hand, Noel was also thinking about another thing. He asked Ardagan inwardly, 'So, Ardagan. How do I burn or freeze this spore?'

Skill: Undying Fire (0/5)

Requirement: 20 SP

Skill: Freezing Crystal (0/5)

Requirement: 7 SP

'It seems that I can use both of these skills to eliminate the spore. But the problem is Anna. There's no telling when the spores will be acting up.' Noel fell into deep thought before a devilish plan appeared in his mind.

Because he was acting as Noel, he immediately leveled up the Freezing Crystal instead of Undying Fire. There were two reasons. Firstly, Noel's known element was ice. Secondly, although the Undying Fire sounded powerful, it cost too much Skill Points. It was something that he couldn't afford to use for a moment.

As soon as he leveled up the Freezing Crystal, he got the knowledge about its use. As expected, it seemed Heisk was still powerful even though she wasn't the highest rank of Spirit.

From the knowledge, it seemed he could turn the spore with the Freezing Crystal the moment he located the spore.

Still, the spore should be so small since he couldn't even see it. In that case, he had to choose a perfect timing.

Right before he would be controlled or right after the demon activated the spore in his mind, he should freeze the exact same spot and cancel the mind control.

'Still, there's one problem remaining.' Noel glanced at Anna.

"What's wrong?" Anna tilted her head in confusion since Noel had been staring at her a lot.

Noel smiled and said, "Nothing. Since we can now locate the Advanced Level Demon, we should chase after it right now."

Anna nodded in agreement, not realizing that she was already under the control of the demon. As for Noel, he had already prepared for everything, including Anna's mind control and what he would do when that time came.

They hurriedly followed the wind to find the demon. Noel obviously knew the danger. The fact they were going through the wind, there should be some spores left in the air. However, he just kept chasing as if he wasn't scared of these spores.

After getting Noel's approval, Anna started shooting the 'Sword D'Dantalian' to the area, causing explosions after explosions that woke the demons up.

Roars resounded across the area, displeased by the situation. But because those two acted covertly, they didn't get spotted by any demon. Noel even took charge due to his Demon Hunter Medal, avoiding all the demons that came at them.

However, there was one spot where they didn't hear a single roar of the demon.

Noel and Anna exchanged looks and agreed to check this spot.

While going to this place, Noel suddenly stopped Anna as his Demon Hunter Medal was picking up several presence. Anna could also feel it too and agree with him.

This was the spot.
