System vs Rebirth

"Aaaaahhhh!" Noel gritted but he soon realized that the fish had died since there was no more force coming from the teeth.

Without hesitation, he pulled out all the teeth by pushing off the mouth. However, the two beavers didn't let this opportunity go.

While Noel was pushing the fish away, the beavers approached him again, trying to kill him.

Annoyed, Noel shot out the Spiritual Energy upward, creating a humongous sword above them.

The two beavers leaped in the opposite direction, looping around to attack Noel from both sides.

But Noel managed to free himself from the fish within that time. Although he couldn't move his left hand for the time being, he should be able to kill the two beavers.

"I don't need a shield anymore," said Noel as he leaped to one of the beavers.

The beaver in the front waved its claws to attack him while the one behind him opened its mouth, trying to snap his head with its strong teeth.

Noel struck the beaver's claws, but the latter seemed to be smarter than he thought because the beaver somehow pushed the claws downwards, preventing Noel from swinging his sword again to handle the one coming from behind. At the same time, the beaver in the front opened its mouth, planning to do the same thing.

The calm expression in Noel's face was unchanged as if this situation was still within his means.

Noel finally showed the swordsmanship he had been learning from Ardagan.

With that downwards swing, Noel was supposed to stop that swing before it passed his legs, but he continued that swing until his hand reached his back. It was at this time he let go of the handle with a small force, causing the sword to be thrown upward at a slow speed.

Then, Noel's right hand rotated in the opposite direction and caught the floating sword behind his shoulder.

"!!!" The beavers were startled that the previous Noel who was supposed to be an easy target became the hunter. Their momentum didn't allow them to change their directions, and the best thing they could do was to lean their bodies to the side to avoid getting slashed in one hit.

In that instant, Noel made another full swing that cut both beavers in rapid succession. Unfortunately for him, Noel only managed to cut a part of their bodies and one arm. Their heads still remained.

Although the blood loss would be enough to kill them, the demons should still be able to move around for a while. If he dropped his guard right now, he would be the prey of these demons. At the same time, there was no need for traps when it had reached this point.

​ Noel didn't hesitate to leap to the beaver in the front that was trying to escape from him. He summoned another giant sword and dropped it in front of the beaver. The panicked beaver was startled and tried to loop around, but Noel took this opportunity to catch up and slice the beaver's head with Mega Slash.

Without wasting his time, Noel turned around and chased after the second beaver that was running away from him. Noel's Increase Agility Rune and Four Points Circulation finally showed their might, boosting his speed significantly.

Noel caught up to the beaver in just a second as he struck the beaver's back with Ignition Sword, destroying a part of the body. With the injury it suffered earlier, the beaver died a few seconds later.

On the other hand, Noel fell on his butts, tired. His body was also covered with pain.

Glancing at the injured shoulder, Noel bought a bandage from Ardagan, planning to cover his wound first. He was planning to go to Astary Town first before visiting the Master Blacksmith, so he could heal this wound in that town. It wouldn't take too long anyway, so he immediately grabbed that bandage.

Before he could put on the bandage, he heard a man's voice coming from behind.

"Sir Knight?"

"!!!" Noel hurriedly turned around, alarmed by their presence. However, he soon lowered his guard when he confirmed that they were the villagers that brought the two empty gallons to fetch the water. "Oh, you've come."

"You're injured…"

They approached him with worried faces. The two people that had been chosen was the man who was the first to raise his hand and a farmer.

"You should be careful. That dam is flowing right now, so there's a chance that a demon will come out suddenly." Noel warned them while glancing at the corpses in the area.

They nodded with a serious expression. They could imagine what kind of battle Noel had faced earlier. In fact, they had been watching him since a few minutes ago. They didn't dare to come out because they thought they would just be the burden if the demons targeted them.

Instead of increasing his burden, they chose to be an observer.

Once again, they realized how Noel risked his life to fight against the demons to save their villages. If Noel didn't care about the village, he would just kill one or two demons before calling it complete.

So, they felt grateful for Noel to do all this without being asked.

"That… can I see your wounds? Although I can't do much, I can wrap the bandage. I often helped the village hunter whenever he returned with injuries." The farmer raised his hand, asking.

"Is that so? I'll let you do it then." Noel nodded before standing up. "Can you dress my wound while I'm standing? I need to make sure there's no demon coming out of that gap."

"That shouldn't be a problem." The man agreed without hesitation.

Although he wanted to hide inside the forest for the time being, it would be troublesome if the demon came out and somehow let loose without anyone knowing.

So, standing here was the most optimal option.

The man immediately grabbed the bandage and prepared to wrap Noel's wounds.

Meanwhile, Noel pointed at the dam and said, "We're going to let the water to flow like this for a while. Not only will the beaver come out to fix the dam, but we can also destroy the dam without causing a flood or any damage."

"We understand. If you need anything, please instruct us. We'll definitely help you." The two men were in awe of Noel's dedication and decided to help him no matter how weird the request was.
