System vs Rebirth

Chapter 615 Demon Awakening

His instruction was frowned upon. On the one hand, everyone here was loyal to their squad. They had a sense of camaraderie. There was no way they wanted to leave their team in this dangerous place while they were going to a safe place.

On the other hand, they could understand why Septa wished to move around. With Septaʼs ability as a captain of the Demon Beholder Squad, it should be easier for him to move around by himself. Yes, they acknowledged the fact that they were dragging him down.

The only reason why they were here was because Septa required their specialty. But this time, he only had to sneak around.

Noel glanced at the three from the Demon Extermination Squad, wondering their decision. The trio also looked at him with a serious expression. It seemed they had made their decision.

Without even saying a single word, they had come to a tacit understanding. They should leave this place and allow Septa to do the rest.

However, Noel wasnʼt someone who would just agree without fighting back. He wrote a few things on his note.

”This exploration canʼt be called a success yet. We might have found the identity of the building, but we havenʼt found the hidden nest or explored the rest of the building.”

”So, this retreat only serves as bait to thin out the number of the demons. After that, we shall enter this place again, as you said earlier.”

”But before that, we have to spread them. The number of the demons is still too much for all of us to take them down, even with the help of the fort. Hence, Iʼll go back and create more ditches and traps around the fort. I hope you can buy us enough time to do that.”

”And I still havenʼt forgotten about my true role. I have to create a map of the building… According to the information, there is a flammable gas in this area. Captain Clara has told me about it, so if possible, could you find it? Itʼs going to be important for our exploration.”

The three people from the Demon Extermination Squad were dumbfounded. This was the first time there was someone who dared to order a captain.

This Iadre was a person from the Demon Relief Squad. Even though he was a Zero Squad, his rank wasnʼt enough to tell Septa all this.

However, Noel dared to do it because he knew that Septa would do it. After all, there was no way he hadnʼt figured out Iadreʼs true identity. He wouldnʼt have become the captain of the Demon Beholder Squad if he hadnʼt found out about it.

This was the exact reason why he was so sure about Septaʼs reply.

Septa actually nodded to him as if he was planning to follow his instruction.

The Demon Extermination Squad was an extremely strict squad. Since the command was absolute, they became this disciplined and strong. They couldnʼt understand Septaʼs action, but at the same time, they didnʼt stop Noel. Captain Septa had agreed, so who were they to stop him?

Now that they had reached an agreement, all of them prepared themselves to leave the building. They checked the situation from the window. Septa might have predicted that they would leave after reaching the third room, so he decided that the third room should be close to the outside.

And there was only one thing they needed to exit. It was to open that window.

Septa made sure first that no demons were nearby before opening the windows. He even took a peek before he waved his hand, telling them to go.

One person left.

Two people exited.

Three people came out.

But when Noel was about to jump off, there was a huge roar that shook the entire building.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

”!!!” All of them immediately stopped and subconsciously looked in the direction of the roar. Their faces became pale because the roars were something different from before.

Normally, the roar would be followed by a series of answers from other demons. But this time, the roar wasnʼt accompanied by anything. The only reply was in the form of action.

The entire building soon became active as the demons began to move around as if they were trying to follow the instruction hidden inside that roar.

All of them knew this roar was an order. And there was only one demon that dared to order the demons around without anyone complaining.

A Superior Demonʼs roar.

As they thought about it, they looked at each other, wondering what they should do. The three Demon Extermination Squad members had turned around, ready to fight the demons from the outside.

Meanwhile, Septa opened his mouth. They didnʼt have time to quietly discuss things anymore. He even pushed Noel out before jumping off the window himself.

”Follow me, hurry up!”

Septa didnʼt even wait for their reply as he had already used his fastest speed to reach the woods near the building.

Noel and the other three were confused, but they knew that if they didnʼt act, they would become dinner. So, they hurriedly followed Septa.

This was the first time for Noel to see Septa in action. And surprisingly, there was nothing happening.

They didnʼt encounter any demons, nor did they cross difficult terrain. And this was the reason why Septa was terrifying.

There should be a lot of demons roaming in this area. Yet, Septa managed to avoid all of them while choosing a good terrain to cross.

His sense alone might be far better than that of Rose. And the way he executed it was impeccable.

He felt safe when Septa led them. And in the end, they managed to leave the area without meeting a single monster.

But the moment they reached the safe area, Septa turned around, saying with a panicked tone. ”You guys go to the fort right away. I have to leave or it will be too late. Prepare everything because we donʼt know what will happen after this. And… Donʼt follow me.”
