System vs Rebirth

Two hours ago.

A train was crossing a plain field. The road was peaceful because the Ardagan family had been eradicating the demons from the area.

"What a good day." One of the passengers said while looking out the window. "To think that we would be able to see things like this. It's also moving so fast."

"This is amazing."

There were a lot of new people that just wanted to test the train, experiencing it for the first time. Unlike the normal carriages, the people could actually look around to enjoy the scenery. It wasn't that packed as well.

More importantly, it was cheap.

That was why the train was popular. While they were at it, the trains also brought a lot of demon crystals and other resources to be transported to the next city.

"Eh?"

"What is that?"

Two passengers suddenly noticed dots coming from the distance.

The dots suddenly formed a huge fireball and fired it at the sky.

More importantly, the fireball was actually falling upon them.

"Fireball?"

"Aaaahh. We are going to die!"

The passengers panicked. They knew how horrible it was to travel. If they fought someone strong or encountered bandits, their lives would be screwed.

The train also had their own guards, but they wondered if that was enough to deal with the enemies. After all, some escorts actually left behind the people they had to protect because they were scared of the enemies.

And it wasn't that rare for a merchant to have half of their luggage destroyed. That was why only the lords who were able to maintain a safe territory usually had lower prices of goods, allowing more people to have access to those items.

All of a sudden, a translucent barrier appeared around the train.

The fireball hit the barrier and flared up, causing a massive explosion.

Boom!

The loud explosion startled everyone, scaring them.

"What's going on?"

"We're under attack?"

"Nooo!"

A lot of people started screaming. Even a merchant had a dark expression. The reason why he used this train was because of its safety, speed, and cost.

However, this was the risk if he brought a lot of items at once. A single venture would result in a huge loss if the items were destroyed.

But when he saw the barrier, it remained intact as though nothing happened. In fact, the train didn't get blown away or affected by its shock wave.

Several attacks came again and blasted the train with a stronger force. A series of explosions made the passengers panic, but the barrier remained without a scratch.

Suddenly, a guard entered the cabin and shouted, "There's no need to panic, passengers."

Several people were charging straight at him and grabbing his collar.

"What do you mean not to panic?"

"We are under attack!"

As if knowing this would happen, the guard simply pointed to the barrier. "This train is as strong as a wall of a stronghold. Of course, I'm talking about the Golden Dawn City's wall as the standard."

"!!!" The passengers looked shocked. They had certainly heard about the demon's attack on the Golden Dawn Village. Some of them believed it was only a rumor, but with the guard using it as an example, it might not be just a rumor.

A wall that could withstand the attack from tens of thousands of demons and remained intact.

A single person couldn't kill tens of thousands of demons by themselves. In fact, a group of people might not be enough, so unless they had a huge organization at the scale of thousands, the train would remain undisturbed.

"You can take a look at the sturdiness of our barrier. This is the pride of the Ardagan family. Why don't you give your best face to mock whoever dares to attack the Ardagan family's train instead?" The guard smiled.

Normally, de-escalating the situation would solve most problems, but this time, the guard actually shifted their panic to confidence.

Some of them were curious, so they couldn't help but move to the window, trying to see the attackers.

As the guard said, the barrier was intact. Another series of explosions hit the train, but it didn't leave a single scratch.

There were several people wearing a black coat coming toward them. They took out their swords and unleashed a sword strike at the point blank range.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The spiritual energy they used caused a massive shock wave, but toward themselves. The barrier completely blocked everything that carried spiritual energy.

This group followed the train and tried a couple of times but to no avail.

The conductor simply looked at the road. Even though he wanted to do something, the procedure was to reach the next city as quickly as possible. No one would be stupid enough to attack a city for no reason.

Besides, they could report it right away, and the Ardagan family would mobilize their army to investigate.

It was precisely this reason that the people covered in a coat looked frustrated. They couldn't really see their faces, but the way they behaved and attacked showed their annoyance.

The conductor suddenly noticed something.

There was actually a person standing in their path.

"!!!" The conductor's expression turned serious. This guy was so muscular that his coat couldn't cover him completely. It wasn't hard to realize what he was trying to do.

That was why the conductor didn't decrease their speed.

"Uoohhhh!" The guy roared as he pushed the train, trying to stop it. His hands ended up on the barrier, and the train shook a little, but the guy underestimated the force that the train carried. It wasn't just about the speed.

The train's weight was close to a hundred tons, which was moving at twice the speed of a carriage.

The moment the guy tried to stop it, he was being pushed back, almost getting crushed by the sheer momentum.

"Kkhhh." The guy gritted his teeth, his right hand almost snapped. No, his right arm's bone had actually cracked.

His feet kept sliding on the ground with no sign of stopping.

The guy endured it for a bit more, but he ended up throwing himself to the side, unable to use his arms anymore.

All the attackers were stunned. They expected that they could destroy this train within a few minutes. But all their attempts had been unsuccessful.

If they continued, there was a chance that the Ardagan family would send reinforcements and attack them. It seemed that the attack had failed.
