System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1074 Opening

Noel was completely stunned, never thinking that there would be a building of this size. They didn\'t find it when they first went to Old Ru since they were a bit too far to the east.

That was why Noel felt overwhelmed to see this engineering marvel.

"What kind of building is this?" Noel asked.

"I\'m not sure. But it must be something important. Look at the area around the building." Anna pointed to the side. "The building has an even wider empty space around it. In addition, there are several buildings on the side. While some have been destroyed by both demons and nature, two are still intact."

"That\'s true." Noel pondered for a moment. "Just from them alone, I can see several hundred demons lying around."

"Yeah. I don\'t mind about the number since we have a quota to fill, but we need some plans to deal with these many demons." Anna sighed. "And we shouldn\'t destroy the buildings that much to see if we can get anything useful from them."

Noel fell silent for a moment before asking, "What do you think we should do then?"

"I\'m the one planning for this?" Anna gasped.

"Yes. Is there something wrong?" Noel tilted his head in confusion.

"I mean, if we mess this up, we won\'t be able to get things from the ancient civilization." Anna pointed at the buildings in panic.

"It\'s fine. We still gain one thing." Noel smiled while raising one finger. "We\'ve got the experience for you to grow even further."

"Eh?" Anna blinked a few times. Noel actually planned to sacrifice a few ancient ruins for her development. And because of the importance of these buildings, Anna had to make a careful plan.

Seeing how much he wanted to sacrifice for her sake, Anna didn\'t have the heart to reject him anymore.

She immediately lowered her head as if trying to simulate their battle plan.

Noel simply went around to kill all the beasts that wanted to harm them.

After a long one hour, Anna finally finished her thought.

"So I am thinking about this…" Anna explained all the details to Noel. She explained all the reasons for her judgment to show that she came up with this plan for reasons, not just a random thought.

Noel was listening to her the whole time, not planning to say a single word. After she was done, she asked, "What do you think?"

Noel nodded without hesitation. "Sure. Let\'s do it that way."

"Eh? Are you sure?"

"Why? You don\'t sound confident in your own plan."

"Well…" Anna scratched the back of her head.

"This is for the sake of the future. In the past, my ancestor received a lifelong regret for not being able to understand the demon king\'s plan. And this is the same. I want you to keep growing so that you will understand the whole picture even without me." Noel smiled. "What? You\'re worried about a few ruins? Even if I have to trade everything I have for you, I don\'t mind."

Anna felt goosebumps. He was always like this, she thought. "Alright. I will take the left building."

"I will enter the right one then."

Both of them looped around the area and headed to the two tall buildings on the side. This was Anna\'s plan. They should conquer these two buildings first to avoid any reinforcement.

As they expected, the buildings were filled with numerous demons. From one building alone, Noel could sense almost two hundred demons. Anna should have a similar number in that building.

In addition, Noel could see a lot of demons lying in the empty space outside the huge building.

They might end up encountering more than two thousand demons if they wanted to clear this area.

Still, Noel had a few trump cards he could use against them. He had never tested them because they were so powerful that they would be dangerous for others. But this place was different.

"Alright. Let\'s enter this building," Noel muttered while approaching the building.

Both of them matched their pace, alarming the demons on the ground floor. When they saw humans coming toward them, the demons wanted to alert other demons, but both Noel and Anna had reached the building.

They drew their sword, releasing a similar attack.

*Bam!*

The spiritual energy hit the building, shattering the window and crashing the entrance of the building.

"!!!" The demons raised their heads. Most of them didn\'t know what happened, but they were soon alarmed when they heard one of the distress roars from the demon in the building.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

A series of roars immediately responded to that distress call as the demons rose from the ground.

Meanwhile, both Noel and Anna had begun slashing down one demon after another. Some demons tried to jump off the building so that they could reach Noel and Anna instantly, but their efforts were futile because they climbed the second floor right away, forcing those demons to chase after them.

Unfortunately for them, Noel and Anna\'s advances were like bullets. Unless they were a Peak Level Demon, they couldn\'t stop even a single slash from them.

Anna boosted her speed with her lightning, while Noel utilized his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to keep up.

In just three minutes, they actually reached the tenth floor. And the building had been surrounded by the demons, some of them had even entered, making ruckus all over the building.

Noel and Anna noticed that the buildings were shaking as though the pillars had a hard time withstanding the weight of the entire building.

Now that they had climbed pretty high, they could take a peek at the situation inside the building from the rooftop. Surprisingly, the building wasn\'t fully covered by the roof. They could actually see three giant centipedes rising from the ground in the middle of the building.

And each of them was actually a Superior Demon.

Noel and Anna couldn\'t help but smile. They were surprised that the first ancient ruin they explored would have three Superior Demons, but they were quite excited since this would be a perfect opening for their hunt.
