Chapter 161 Noel's Strength

"Aooo!" The wolf let out another howl before charging toward Noel.

Noel hurriedly used another Chain Bind Rune to stop the charge. As expected, the demon immediately changed its direction and looped around to attack him from the side.

Noel had predicted this and struck to the side.

Mega Slash.n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.

The wolf sensed a danger from this swing and immediately tilted its body to the ground, avoiding the strike. Noel took this opportunity to spin his body and kick the demon.

He wanted to kick the head, but the demon was fast enough to tilt its body again, avoiding the worst case scenario. The body received the kick, but the tough skin managed to absorb most impact.

After getting kicked, the demon leaped back to distance himself from Noel.

It was clear that the demon was scared of Noel's Chain Bind Rune. The Undying Mushroom Demon surely shared the vision of the wolf, since it realized the wolf couldn't escape from the chains if it got captured. This was something he could take advantage on.

Without hesitation, Noel made another Chain Bind Rune to capture the wolf, but the wolf continuously avoided it. If this continued, Noel would exhaust all his Spiritual Energy before defeating the wolf.

However, the continuous usage of Chain Bind Rune had finally shown its effect.

When the wolf leaped to the side, its feet tripped on a chain that stuck in the tree.

"Ao-?!" The wolf was confused and realized why Noel never stopped infusing the Spiritual Energy to the Chain Bind Rune he had used this whole time. Noel wanted to use the chains to restrict its movements.

As soon as it recognized Noel's intention, it finally noticed how many chains Noel had spread this whole time.

Noel had used nine Chain Bind Runes and each rune released two chains. There were eighteen chains all around him that could restrict the movement.

With this kind of chain, the wolf understood that Noel had made him subconsciously avoid the chains. That was why when it tried to loop around to strike Noel's side, Noel could strike him faster than ever.

Noel's chains had restricted any attack from the left side and his back, so the wolf had no choice but to go to his right. That was when Noel moved one step ahead.

And now that Noel had covered all directions with chains, there was no place to escape.

Noel smirked and swung his sword, releasing a sharp sword strike toward the wolf.

"!!!" The wolf hurriedly stood up and avoided this attack, but when the sword strike touched the ground, it bounced a few times and continued to chase after the demon.

It turned out the chains had another purpose beside restraining the demon's movement. With the gap between the chains, the demon had to position itself to the gap so that it could move around.

But Noel's Bouncing Spiritual Slash had the perfect size to move between the gaps. In other words, the Bouncing Spiritual Slash could become far faster than an Advanced Level Demon in this situation.

Noel smirked and muttered, "Die."

The wolf demon panicked because the hunter and the prey position had reversed. Noel was now the hunter.

Just like how Noel killed his first demon despite not being able to fight it head-on, he just had to create an environment that allowed to kill them.

As if trying to kill his joy, a barrier suddenly appeared next to the wolf and turned into a wall that stopped the wolf's movement.

"!!!" Noel noticed the barrier and saw the Bouncing Spiritual Slash pierced the wolf's body and pinned it to the barrier. He clicked his tongue and used his fastest speed to leap to the wolf and used his Mega Slash to kill the wolf in one strike.

"Ao" The wolf wanted to howl for one last time, but Noel had cut its head, killing the demon.

Before looking at the barrier, Noel still had one job. Without hesitation, he retracted all the Chain Bind Runes and headed straight to the demon located by his Demon Hunter Medal.

He summoned the snowflake again after noticing the demon tried to escape.

The snowflake burst out and froze the entire area, including the demon.

As expected of an Advanced Level Demon, Undying Mushroom Demon, even though it was frozen, it didn't die that easily. In fact, the ice was gradually corrupted by the mushroom and shattered into pieces. The Undying Mushroom Demon managed to escape from the ice in just a second.

"Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue and used the Four Points Circulation on his feet to catch up to the demons.

He was surprised that the demon was actually just a small mushroom. To think such a dangerous demon was just a small mushroom, he didn't know what to say.

However, Noel used the Sword Fall and made in front of the mushroom, letting the demon to crash to the sword. He then stabbed the demon with his sword and pinned the demon to the sword until it died.

"" Noel took a deep breath when he confirmed its death through the system.

Meanwhile, Anna and Layla were standing on top of the tree while watching the whole thing.

Anna furrowed her eyebrows. Her expression turned grim because of what she had witnessed.

'Noel's strength is not comparable to an Advanced Level Demon. That's a fact. If this is a plain, the Advanced Level Demon won't fall. Even so, it doesn't change the fact that Noel could kill the demon even without our help.

'If he doesn't have the strength to fight them, he just has to create an environment where he can kill the demon. This is why Noel is strong.

'In my previous life, my strength was above him most of the time, but I always ended up struggling to fight him. And with my intervention, Noel has become stronger far faster than his previous life. If I'm slacking just for one bit, I'm afraid that Noel will surpa.s.s me soon even with all my memory. What is Noel's secret? I know that it's something beyond his talent A secret that allows him to keep up with my strength that has been boosted by my previous life's memory.'

Unbeknownst to them, Noel and Anna had started suspecting each other's secret: the system and the reincarnation.
