System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1083 Airport

"Go that way and eliminate all the demons inside that building. There should be less than fifty demons in that small place." Noel shouted while pointing at a tall tower.

Anna nodded and moved separately. On the other hand, Noel continued killing the demons that kept coming endlessly.

He might have underestimated their numbers. At first, they thought there were only around five thousand demons here.

However, even though they had just conquered ten percent of the area, they had fought against more than a thousand demons.

More importantly, he hadn't found any noteworthy demons, which made him a bit uneasy.

In a place with thousands of demons, it wouldn't be wrong to have several Peak Level Demons or even a Superior Demon.

However, this place doesn't have one yet.

There was a chance that they might be hidden in a deeper area, but the Peak Level Demons were usually scattered around the area, each having their own territory.

So Noel felt a bit suspicious and sent Anna to the tower so that she could take a look at the entire area. Her instinct might pick up something.

Unfortunately, when Anna stood on top of the tower, she could feel nothing.

"What is this…" Anna furrowed her eyebrows. "There are no extraordinary demons. Yet… my instinct is telling me this place is dangerous. What is going on?"

She stayed for a while, observing the situation. She still found nothing, so she chose to go down and explain everything to Noel.

"You found nothing, but felt this place dangerous?" Noel was taken aback by the assessment. As expected, there was something weird about this place. They didn't know what was hidden inside this place, but Anna's instinct was never wrong.

Noel looked up for a moment, contemplating. "Let's retreat first."

"Retreat?" Anna raised her head. "We still have a few hours before dark. Even then, we can still use the Moon Blessing."

Noel shook his head. "Let's not be reckless. While it's true that your instinct can pick up danger, it is still not perfect. In addition, there are some additional problems, especially regarding Dimitri and the others."

"Ah!" Anna almost forgot that since they would be stuck here for a while, they would probably meet Dimitri's group.

Noel was thinking about the arrangement for Dimitri's group since they had to be extremely careful here.

"Alright." Anna agreed after understanding the reason.

Noel chose to retreat outside the area because he felt this place was much more dangerous than he originally thought.

"So what is this place? You said that your ancestor told you about this kind of thing," Anna asked.

"It's called Airport. The thing that can fly is called an airplane. I'm not sure about the principle, but they are able to do all that without spiritual energy."

"For real? People can fly around without spiritual energy." Anna raised her eyebrows.

"Yes. In the past, people could travel around the world. It's a bit costly, but it's not impossible for even a commoner." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Are you serious?" Anna looked surprised. Commoners in this kingdom usually only traveled from their village to a city to trade their harvest or pay taxes. Those in the city would be able to travel to another city, but most of the time, they wouldn't go that far.

Only merchants and nobles had the power to travel around the country or even to another country.

"Yes. And according to her, the four kingdoms are just like a tiny piece in this world."

"A tiny piece?" Anna gasped. "You know that even in this tiny piece, we still need weeks just to travel from our city to the Atracaeca Kingdom's capital city, right? If what we know is just a tiny piece, how long does it take for them to travel?"

"That's my question as well after learning about it. But surprisingly, you could travel to the other side of this world in less than a day." Noel shook his head helplessly.

"Are you serious? It's that amazing… and without spiritual energy?"

"Yes. Unlike us, who rely on spiritual energy and runes, they are using the natural law of this world."

"Natural law…" Anna looked down. "Like the earthquake?"

"I'm not sure about it as well." Noel shook his head. "But if you think about it, it feels amazing to know that we're just like a tiny piece compared to the whole world."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"What do you mean?" Anna tilted her head in confusion.

"I'm talking about the potential." Noel smiled. "The world population in the past must have been extremely high. And considering this world is such a huge place, there's a chance that there are other survivors out there."

"Ah!"

"I wonder what kind of life they have right now, I wonder if they have technologies that are similar to the previous civilizations. Do they also utilize spiritual energy and how do they utilize it?" Noel spread his arms as if he were trying to embrace the world. "I want to go out there."

Anna looked at Noel with a smile. Noel usually stayed composed, but whenever he talked about his goal, he was always passionate.

"I will accompany you even to the end of the world. Though, there are a few things that we need to achieve first before we are able to do that."

"Ehehe." Noel felt a bit embarrassed. "Anyway, this place is where they gather all the airplanes and control them. It's that simple."

"I see. Do you think we're able to do that? If we take a look at the airship, can't we reproduce their achievement?"

Noel thought for a moment. "I believe we can. First of all, there is one big advantage the airship has. It's able to bypass any terrains… except for the mountain. Just that alone increases the travel time significantly."

"Now that you think about it… that's true." Anna nodded. "If we think like that, we're actually able to go to the Atracaeca Kingdom's capital city in a day or two, right?"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Yes."

"How about increasing the altitude to avoid the mountain as well?"

"The air is so thin that it will be harmful to humans." Noel shook his head.

"I see. How about the intermediate rune for Enhance Forward Rune?"

"I have the memory of it, but I haven't mastered it. I'm afraid that if I put it in the book, it will just become a failure."

"Well, it can't be helped."

"Yes."

Anna thought for a moment before saying, "Since I've satisfied my curiosity, how about preparing for the landing space?"

"Sure."
