System vs Rebirth-Chapter 1378: Real Attack

"As expected, you do have a hidden weapon. But this is over for you." The Supreme Devil smirked.

"…" Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, realizing that the Supreme Devil's attack this time was to expose his trump card. In other words, the spirit transcendence rank experts under him. "To think you would attack here for such a ridiculous reason... In that case, you can remain here forever!"

Noel leaped toward him. He swung his sword close to the Supreme Devil in order to stop him from completing his attack, but the Supreme Devil simply jumped back to gain a bit of distance and hit him away.

On the other hand, Alexander's hands turned into claws as his eyes turned bloodshot like that of a beast.

Alexander punched Rui, as the latter used the same attack to compare their strength.

Both of them released their spiritual energy at the same time. It looked like they were equal at first, but soon Rui started to overwhelm him.

"!!!" Alexander raised his eyebrows. 'What? Am I losing to her in strength? To a woman who wasn't even half of my age?'

The spiritual energy around Rui's fist started to flare up and formed a tiger, roaring.

This time, the one who was shocked was not Alexander, but the Supreme Devil.

"Watch out!" The Supreme Devil shouted.

Alexander could only grit his teeth, realizing something had gone wrong. He hurriedly leaped away instead of taking her head-on.

"Where do you think you're going?" Rui pulled both hands to the right side as her fingers imitated a pair of jaws and their sharp teeth. The energy around her hands turned into a dragon this time.

Alexander's nails were extended with his spiritual energy, turning into a claw. He slashed the dragon with his claw, but the dragon simply roared, refusing to be cut.

Their energy clashed for a few seconds before they exploded, pushing both of them back.

Noel had been observing the whole thing, especially the Supreme Devil's reaction. "As expected, it looked like you knew about her."

"!!!" The Supreme Devil's heart skipped a beat. He didn't realize he had given away so much information to Noel.

Just from the reaction alone, he realized he could narrow down the potential names of the Supreme Devil. Despite him having hidden himself from Ardagan, he still couldn't hide from Noel's eyes. freёwebnoѵel.com

"…" The Supreme Devil could play dumb, but it didn't seem to be worth it. He shouted, "Alexander. Watch out. That girl is using the Divine Beast Martial Arts, an ancient martial art that was developed by a martial prodigy a thousand years ago."

That shout had shown everything. It was enough for Noel to know that this person was indeed someone from a thousand years ago. Even if he learned a lot of things from books or history, there was no way he could recognize Rui's martial arts, considering Ihui specifically went to another land away from them. Hence, there was close to no record of this martial art.

The only ones who knew about this were either the people who fought alongside Ihui back then or the demon king himself.

However, based on his current condition, it was clear that this person was actually the traitor that caused the downfall of Margaretha in the past.

Of course, he didn't know whether the traitor was actually a demon king or not, because there was not much information about it. In the end, the demons could possess a human, so there was a chance he was true.

Hence, Noel said, "You are indeed related to our ancestors. However, this is the end for you. You won't escape this time. Even if I'm weaker than you, I can still hold you long enough until your body can't take it anymore. I will destroy that mask of yours!

"You're going to pay for everything you did one thousand years ago!" Noel's expression darkened.

Both Alexander and Rui could feel the chills down their spines. This was the first time Noel looked so angry. At first, Alexander thought the Supreme Devil was overestimating Noel, but it turned out he was the one underestimating him.

Despite being threatened, the Supreme Devil smirked. "Do you think I'm here to fight you just to confirm your trump card?"

As he said those words, a powerful burst of energy suddenly occurred from Golden Dawn City's direction.

"!!!" Noel glanced to the side with his eyes wide open. Without hesitation, Noel shouted, "Rui. Retreat!"

Noel hurriedly leaped toward the city, but the Supreme Devil simply caught up to him and struck him, stopping Noel.

"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth.

"Where are you going? Do you think I can allow you to go back just like this?"

"You bastard." Noel's killing intent soared.

The Supreme Devil's smile simply became wider, as if he was enjoying Noel's reaction. "You have conveniently gathered all those people for me. Your desire to understand that power has ended up backfiring, and that's what's going to kill your people!"

The Supreme Devil laughed out loud. With Noel and Rui stopped here, Laufey and Josephine could kill those people. Even if there was Howard inside that city, Laufey was enough to stop them while Josephine could kill all the people and etch this city as a city of tragedy in history.

"You are a fool. Had you not sent all the powerful people under you, such as Dimitri or that spear user, you wouldn't have suffered this kind of attack. This is the end of your foolishness. Remember that your recklessness is the one that destroys you."

Anna was probably his biggest trump card. But if Anna were here, the Supreme Devil could simply tell the Third Prince to stop Anna while letting the rest strike the city.

Of course, even if Dimitri, Incetta, and Howard remained in the city, Josephine could simply make several portals and send forth the organization members as well as the demons to massacre the people. Even with all those talented knights, Noel couldn't stop it until it was too late.

It was a perfect plan, except Noel had another trump card he didn't know about.
