System vs Rebirth

"It seems that everyone is ready." Noel turned to the others. The Venom Overlord, the Phantom, and the Arctic Queen had decided to help. It was probably because her main power didn't lie in the battle that the diva chose to remain in the sanctuary. The Vampire was just too lazy to move because it wasn't night.

Hence, the subjugation team consisted of five Spirit Transcendence: Noel, Anna, and the three elders.

"We'll be securing all four directions while Anna takes down the ancient demon. After that, the Buffalo King will sweep in to take care of their corpses. Once we're done with the first one, the three elders will be taking down the second ancient demon. Is there any objection?"

"It's not an objection, but I do have a question." The Venom Overlord's expression was serious. "Are you sure you don't need anything else other than the ancient demon crystals? While we do need some crystals, most of us here don't seem to be able to improve anymore from absorbing them. How about you take the crystals from peak level demons and superior demons as well?"

"That's…" Noel felt like he would be taking too much since the other party helped them in the fight.

"No need to hesitate. The demon meats alone can feed the territory a lot, let alone the materials. Just getting those materials is enough for us."

"I'll just take the superior demon crystals." Noel decided to agree.

"That sounds good enough." The Venom Overlord nodded.

"That's the ancient demon-nya!" The Phantom pointed forward.

All of them shifted their gaze, finding a grizzly bear in the distance. The grizzly bear was colossal. Its height reached ten meters, but if it stood up, it would go as high as 50 meters.

While it wasn't as big as the spider, Noel and Anna could sense an enormous amount of spiritual energy coming from its body.

It seemed that the ancient demon bear had sensed their presence. It bulldozed everything in its way, leading its followers from the front.

"There are about 50,000 demons around him-nya." The Phantom said while squinting her eyes. "The majority of them is behind him. It seems that he is also gathering demons from nearby areas-nya."

"I should take care of all the demons behind him then." The Venom Overlord smiled.

"What? This is not fair!" The Phantom glared at him.

"I'm the strongest elder after the prophet. It's only appropriate if I handle the biggest problem." The Venom Overlord chuckled. "The Arctic Queen should take the right. It's a plain field, so you definitely will shine over there. The Phantom can take care of the woods. Our guest here will have the easiest time.

Of course, it's to let you conserve your stamina. After all, you're going to handle a lot of demons against the second ancient demon."

Noel showed no objection.

"It has noticed us." The Phantom raised her head, staring at the bear demon that shot out a light bullet from its mouth.

The bullet flew fast and contained a lot of spiritual energy.

"!!!" The three elders released their energy, but Anna was the first one to make her move. She had already jumped toward the bullet.

"Lightning Draw." She drew her sword so fast that without even noticing it, the bullet split into two.

Boom!

The divided bullets hit the hills and the explosions half destroyed them.

"Let's go!" Noel's voice snapped them back.

Despite not saying anything, Anna seemed to be the most excited among them.

The three elders could only smile wryly as they followed this pair.

The grizzly bear released a deafening roar as the demons turned berserk, rampaging in the area. As an army, they became much more menacing.

However, their opponents were five spirit transcendences. The bear knew that escaping was not an option since they could easily catch up to him.

"Spirit Summon!" The Venom Overlord waved his hand down. "Great Serpent!"

A huge snake appeared out of thin air as the Venom Overlord and the Arctic Queen landed on top of it. The snake moved swiftly, destroying everything in its path.

Noel and Anna used the runes to fly in the sky. Meanwhile, the Phantom directly fell to the ground.

But before she reached the ground, a wire appeared, attaching itself to trees. She used it to bounce back into the air.

All of them were moving at the same speed, but Anna would be the one reaching the bear first.

Roar!

The bear gathered its energy at its claw and waved it down. The energy shot out as if the claws were being extended.

Anna took a deep breath. She was wondering where she should begin.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"I guess let's test this new power first." Anna muttered. She raised her head, feeling the intense pressure from that giant claw.

She infused her lightning energy into her sword, and the original Anna turned the rampaging energy gentle.

After that, Anna waved her sword, sending forth a crescent-shaped sword strike toward the claw.

Normally, the two energies would clash, but surprisingly, Anna's sword strike slashed through the powerful claws so smoothly.

"!!!" The bear widened his eyes. It felt like his own energy treated Anna's energy as its own because the two energies ended up harmonizing with each other in the instant they made contact.

As a result, the giant claws extended by the spiritual energy disappeared due to the supply of energy being cut.

Now that the path had been opened, Noel and the three elders immediately sneaked past the bear to reach their designated positions.

The Arctic Queen moved to the right. Snow started to fall the moment her foot landed on the ground. Temperature decreased drastically as the beasts had no choice but to use their own spiritual energy to keep themselves warm.

"Welcome, little demons. Let me show you the bitter winter."

Meanwhile, the Phantom was hanging on top of a tree. Numerous wires had been spread all around the area. Her eyes were filled with excitement, as if she were going to hunt.

"I don't like to waste my time. Let's get it done quickly." The Venom Overlord raised his hand. "Summon Spirit. Hydra!"

Seven snake heads suddenly emerged from the ground, carrying out their huge body. There were about 25,000 demons in this direction, but this hydra's strength was not far from the ancient demon itself. "Go!"
