System vs Rebirth

Chapter 315 Newbie Medal

”Huuu…” Noel took a deep breath while staring at the demons.

ʼAs expected, defeating them wonʼt be that easy.ʼ Noel thought, trying to figure out another way to end this battle easily.

The demon wolves became even more careful in approaching Noel, believing there would be another trap like earlier.

As if taking advantage of their doubt, Noel leaped back like he wanted to run away.

”!!!” The Advanced Level Demons instinctively chased after him. Although they were intelligent, they would still chase after their prey.

Hence, the sign of Noel retreating was the signal for them to kill him.

Noel smiled and formed the snowflake again on his palm. He then tossed it to the wolves.

The wolves had learned from the previous attack, so they immediately leaped to the side, looping around it.

Unfortunately for them, they didnʼt realize his Freezing Crystal had evolved.

The moment it burst out, the ice explosion was far bigger compared to the earlier one. This explosion lowered the temperature even more and a huge ice crystal was formed in the middle of the explosion.

This crystal had a longer reach than the previous one, engulfing two demon wolves. Meanwhile, the other two werenʼt in good condition either. Due to how close they were to the ice crystal, the chill had seeped into their bones, causing their bodies to numb.

The sudden change in their body got taken advantage of by Noel. He appeared in front of one demon wolf while slashing his sword downwards.

The demon wolf used its claws to deflect the blade, but the wolf realized that was the last thing he should do at that moment.

The moment the sword touched Noelʼs sword, ice began to form on the wolfʼs claws, spreading straight to the wolfʼs body.

*Aoo!*

The wolf was howling in pain, but no other demon could afford to save him as two of them were frozen while the last one was quite far due to looping around the ice crystal.

The sword sliced the wolfʼs neck cleanly, finishing it in one blow. After that, Noel turned to the frozen wolf and changed his emotion.

This time, he was using Disgust to make his sword like a blunt bat and struck the ice, crushing it into pieces. The demonʼs body had also fused with the ice, causing it to be split into pieces according to how the ice broke.

”Two more…” Noel muttered while glancing at one frozen wolf and one angry wolf. The frozen wolf was trying to crack the ice this whole time.

”I donʼt have too much time. I have to kill this wolf as soon as possible.” Noel looked at the angry wolf and used his Sword Aura that had been enhanced by the Body Strengthening Liquid.

When he used his previous Sword Aura, the Spiritual Energy only enveloped the sword to sharpen it. However, the level of this skill had increased by three after using the Body Strengthening Liquid. He had even used it to strengthen his organ by evaporating it and allowing the vapor to enter his body.

So, when he used his Sword Aura again, the Spiritual Energy burst out like a raging fire.

Noel struck the wolf with this Sword Aura. Surprisingly, the Sword Aura bent the claws, allowing the sword to slice the wolfʼs paw and all the way to the body.

*Aoo!* The wolf dropped to the ground, still alive. Noel didnʼt have a hobby in letting them suffer, so he immediately impaled the wolfʼs head, killing it.

After that, he crushed the ice before the wolf could escape, killing it.

With this, Noel had successfully killed five demons by himself.

”Hu…” Noel let out a long breath to calm his heart down, seeing Stella and the others dumbfounded expressions.

They were completely shocked Noel was able to achieve this feat.

While they were still stunned, Noel asked inwardly, ʼArdagan. I should have finished the mission, right?ʼ

[Mission: Peerless]

[Description: To prove your might, one has to fight a few enemies of the same level. Defeat three Advanced Level Demons by yourself in a single battle.]

[Reward: Flame Conjuring Ability and Newbie Medal.]

[Youʼve acquired Flame Conjuring Ability.]

[Youʼve acquired Newbie Medal.]

Noel glanced at Stella and the others, knowing he couldnʼt show a weird behavior. So, he was staring at the demonʼs corpse as if inspecting it.

Meanwhile, he was asking Ardagan to do the entire thing for him.

ʼWhat is Newbie Medal?ʼ

Medal: Newbie

Effect: Sword Mastery +2%, Spiritual Energy +2%, Rune Mastery +2%

ʼWhat? You serious? There is a medal like this?ʼ Noel was shocked because this might be the best medal he had ever got. It improved his overall ability.

ʼNow that I think about it, can I change my medal during the battle? I mean, depending on my medal, I might be able to handle the enemy in a different way. And yes, Iʼve started feeling the difference in the amount of my Spiritual Energy with different medals.

ʼIf my Spiritual Energy becomes even higher, these medals will be very useful. I see. The mission is called Peerless but I get a Newbie Medal… Does this mean this medal can evolve?ʼ

Ardagan didnʼt answer that question yet. At the same time, Noel heard Jonathanʼs voice.

”Youʼre truly great. This is the first time Iʼve seen someone like you.” Jonathan smiled. ”Normally, itʼs hard for a Spirit Wielder to kill an Advanced Level Demon. The Spiritual Energy inside their body might be similar, but the demon has a stronger body, so the result is obvious.

”Thatʼs why weʼre improving our skills. We hone our skill to the highest degree, allowing us to exert strength beyond our power. This will result in us being able to defeat a few people on the same level.

”Take Stella as example, due to her precise strike, she could defeat four demons of the same level. So, Iʼm telling you this, please hone your skill continuously while youʼre with us. Welcome to the Demon Relief Squad, Noel Ardagan.” Jonathan extended his hand.

Noel smiled after getting acknowledged by Jonathan. He shook his hand. ”Thank you. Iʼll surely learn a lot here.”
