System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1630: West

Roar!

Roar!

The demons were swarming toward a single person who was standing in the middle of the field by himself.

However, the moment the demon came closer, a sword would suddenly hack it. It happened not only to that one demon but to all other demons that dared to come closer.

The one who made such a thing possible was none other than Duke Lorelei.

Duke Lorelei simply stood while planting his sword in the ground. There were at least 30 swords orbiting around him. These swords would attack any demons that came close.

Unlike the others, Duke Lorelei had much better control of spiritual energy.

He understood his limits because of his talent before, so he was mindful in using his spiritual energy, hoping that one day he could defeat a spirit transcendence even without him becoming one, simply by using less energy than the other party.

Now that he had become a spirit transcendence, the training still stuck with him. In fact, it made him even stronger.

With his control, he was using a bit of his energy to slash down many demons.

Just by standing in this field for ten minutes, he had cut down at least a thousand demons by himself. And he only used less than 5% of his energy.

Of course, there were many stronger demons that hadn’t come yet, but he had calculated the amount of energy he could spare.

Duke Lorelei was still waiting for the soldiers to arrive. Since the soldiers were transported by train, it would still take some time for them to arrive.

During this time, he would remain still and retreat if necessary.

His main objective was not to slow the demon’s advance. Instead, he was searching for the ancient demon. The ancient demon would cause even more destruction than all these demons combined simply due to its powerful attack.

Unfortunately for him, no matter how long he waited, he still couldn’t find any ancient demons.

’There is supposed to be one ancient demon in this location. According to the information, they should come from this location. I still think the intelligence network of the Ardagan family is correct...’

Duke Lorelei frowned. ’Don’t tell me, the demon knows how to hide and wait until I deplete my power before revealing itself? That’s going to be troublesome.’

Duke Lorelei wondered what he should do to draw out the ancient demons.

In the end, the best choice would be to wait for the soldiers. Once they came, he could start overwhelming the demons, forcing the ancient demon out.

That was what happened on the battlefield north of his position.

Because his location was nearer to his previous location, his troops arrived faster. Marshal Conrad was commanding the army carefully.

After stationing themselves near the Ardagan family, the royal army, which was known to be the most elite in the country, could gain a good amount of experience in fighting the demons.

They finally turned into a real elite.

All of them were charging without any fear in their eyes.

They overwhelmed the demons in the open field. At the same time, a portion of them were also sent to the nearby fortresses to ensure their security.

This way, the fortresses would remain standing and could rejoin the fight once they were done. During that time, the demons would have to redirect their forces to encircle the fortresses.

Hence, the soldiers who were fighting on the open field could withstand the incoming demon army as well.

Of course, there were many officers and, most importantly, their marshal.

Still, due to the diversion that Conrad had spread, the ancient demon was forced to show itself as it didn’t have enough numbers to hide itself anymore.

"Come on!" Conrad thrust his spear multiple times as the ancient demon wolf was waving its claws in exchange.

Their clashes left behind many sharp marks on the battlefield, but due to their location, those residual powers ended up hitting the demons nearby.

The wolf wanted to change the position, but Conrad didn’t allow him.

Conrad remained sharp even though he had been reduced to a dog for so many years by the previous king.

His ability was not only in his commanding skill but also in his vision in the war.

Despite clashing with the ancient demon, Conrad hadn’t landed a blow on the wolf, not because he couldn’t, but because he wanted their clash to reduce the number of demons even further.

In other words, he was giving the wolf the thought of having a chance to defeat him, when in fact, the wolf had been manipulated by Conrad to kill its own kin.

Once the result had been achieved, Conrad planned to activate his True Spirit Body and defeat the wolf.

But the most intense battlefield in the west was much further north, not far from the Lesen family’s territory.

Phantom was stationed here not only because of her combat prowess but also for her intelligence network.

She was capable enough to gather some information while engaging the ancient demon.

"Nyahahaha!" Phantom waved her claws multiple times, killing dozens of demons every time. She leaped from one place to another as the ancient demon was following her.

It was trying to stop Phantom from achieving what she wanted, but the Phantom showed no sign of weakness, so the ancient demon kept running and running around the battlefield.

The ancient demon had no choice either. After all, Phantom had been given airships by Rui. The demons would be massacred by the airships, so the ancient demon had to kill its commander, Phantom, to stop their attacks.

In addition, Phantom skillfully hit their weak points to increase the damage dealt on the army, which made her even more annoying.

If the Diva were here, she would just look at Phantom with scorn, as she hadn’t changed. This was the reason the Diva was annoyed with her whenever they met.

Phantom looked up. "It looks like the battlefield has changed-nya. The battle has reached its last phase, so I guess I can start relaying all the updates now."
