System vs Rebirth Chapter 437 Difference

Chapter 437 Difference

"Hahaha!" Richard laughed after seeing how another Peak Level Demon had just died. Even he was surprised to see a Spirit Wielder, more so in the Demon Relief Squad, to be able to kill a Peak Level Demon so easily.

He became even more excited. Looking at this centipede, Richard released all his Spiritual Energy.

"Haaa!" Richard let out a roar.

The centipede realized the increase in Spiritual Energy and immediately backed away. It would be bad if he was struck by what Richard planned to do.

Richard, on the other hand, concentrated that Spiritual Energy around his fists. Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy became calmer and covered his fists as if they were gloves.

However, the centipede could see spikes around the gloves. Even its carapace would be penetrated by those spikes.

Hence, the centipede hurriedly dug to avoid a frontal confrontation.

"Why are you running away?" Richard smirked and punched the ground. This time, he didn't turn it into a crater.

But there were a few huge cracks in the soil. Richard took advantage of that gap to send his Spiritual Energy inside.

"Chiiii!" The centipede screamed before its entire body was blown out of the hole it entered earlier.

Seeing how the centipede had no way to protect itself in the air, the bat looped around, forgetting about its fallen partner and focusing on helping the centipede.

"I have seen through your ability." Richard smirked and released a portion of his Spiritual Energy to create a wind s.h.i.+eld that deflected the sound wave.

Unbeknownst to him, Noel had simply killed the bat so fast that the latter hadn't utilized its full power.

Since the bat knew they would die if they didn't kill Richard, the bat decided to release all its Spiritual Energy in this attack.

The sound wave suddenly punctured the barrier.

"Huh?!" Richard widened his eyes in surprise as he hurriedly ducked down.

The sound wave flew like a spear, piercing through everything in its way. Because Richard managed to dodge it, the sound wave hit the ground, pulverizing the soil and creating a hole as big as the centipede.

"Ho?" Richard narrowed his eyes. The Demon Hunting Squad's motto was to kill the demons as quickly as possible. There was a huge reason behind it.

According to the statistics they had gathered, the demons always looked down on the human when they first encountered them. There would be exceptions for demons who had encountered strong humans before and won the battle or escaped from them.

But inexperienced demons would look down on them and didn't release their full strength. Noel had actually learned about this from the Demon Relief Squad.

It was the berserk state. For the Demon Relief Squad, the demon's full strength was the berserk state. But for the Demon Hunting Squad, the demon simply had just released the power they hid.

There was a big difference between their approach. And Richard was about to show that difference.

"Battle Energy!" Richard covered his entire body with his Spiritual Energy. Instead of gloves, he chose full-body armor.

After that, Richard went straight to the falling centipede as he had to crush it before the centipede reached the ground.

The bat gathered its energy again before releasing another sound wave.

The sound was sharp like the previous one, penetrating everything in its way. But Richard didn't have any intention of avoiding it this time.

As for the reason, it was shown right after the sound wave hit his body.

*Bam!*

The sound wave caused a small explosion due to its momentum, but Richard actually emerged from the smoke without any injury.

"!!!" The bat widened its eyes in shock. The barrier that coated Richard's entire body actually managed to absorb the sound wave.

And with this, Richard managed to reach the centipede and struck its body with all his strength.

"Explosive Punch!"

*Bam!*

The Spiritual Energy around Richard's fist turned violent as it pulverized the hard carapace and created a hole in the centipede's body.

The centipede let out a cry, but it couldn't do anything as it fell to the ground. Its body had become weak due to that injury.

When Richard was about to kill the centipede, the bat tried to stop him. It realized Richard's power could neutralize its attack, so it tried to ram him, thinking its body should be able to push Richard away.

Richard grinned and pointed his palm at the bat.

"Kiii?!" The bat soon widened its eyes when it suddenly stopped. It felt its organs move due to the sudden stop as though it had just hit a wall.

When it looked down, it realized Richard actually stopped its momentum with just one hand.

"You are—!" Richard smirked, wanting to say one last thing before he crushed the bat's body. But before he could finish it, Noel had appeared next to the bat, wielding his fire sword.

By taking advantage of the bat's confusion and Richard's strength, Noel sliced the bat's neck and ultimately killed it.

"You bast—!" Richard wanted to curse Noel, but once again, he stopped because Noel delivered a killing blow to the centipede.

In just one movement, Noel actually killed both of them.

"And with this, our job is done." Noel let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the centipede and remembered what had happened earlier. He thought, 'The Demon Hunting Squad is crazy. When the demon went berserk, he actually allowed the bat to attack him.

'More importantly, he used that information to measure the bat's strength. That information was enough for him to know the bat wouldn't be able to hurt him when he used that strange ability that covered his body. Instead of being careful, he actually used the berserk state to measure the demon's attack to change his hunting style. No wonder it's called the Demon Hunting Squad. I have learned a lot.'

While Noel was thinking, Richard had gone to him and told him why he shouldn't steal someone's prey.

Of course, all those words just entered his right ear and came out of the other ear. What Noel and the Demon Relief Squad cared about was the result. As long as the demons died, no one cared who killed them.
