System vs Rebirth

A moment ago.

pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com After the Demon Relief Squad left to hunt their targets, more and more signals appeared. There were already two more people waving their flags as if they had found out about the enemy's trace.

Igor, who supervised the entire thing, frowned as he could feel danger was coming. He couldn't help but remember what Noel said regarding the Supreme Devil Organization's hatred toward their Demon Relief Squad.

Richard came to report. "Sir. There are a total of four signs, two in front, one on the west, and the other one, which has been taken care of by the Demon Relief Squad. What should we do?"

Igor paused for a moment before saying, "Get that sleeping guy here."

"Sleeping guy…" Richard made a weird smile. "Sir. He has slanted eyes, he's not sleeping."

After that remark, Igor didn't say anything else, so Richard had to go back to call his teammate.

As soon as the person in question arrived on the wall, Igor asked, "Those marks are fake and they'll be attacking us soon. If that's the scenario, what will you do?"

"Hmm?" The guy wasn't expecting a question like this. He looked down for a moment, contemplating.

It felt like someone managed to influence Igor since he acted differently this time. But if this was true, then there was something they could do.

"I suggest you leave this place immediately. If they're planning to destroy this base, I'm afraid they're going to send a powerful person to hold you back. In that case, it's better if you go far away from here to avoid destroying the area."

Igor looked this guy in the eye as if trying to confirm what he said. He had caught the hidden meaning behind those words. It wasn't that hard to understand, so Igor finally agreed with that suggestion.

"Alright. Call the second squad here and I'll be going to chase after the enemy."

"Got it."

Just like what they predicted, the enemy truly brought a pair of Spirit Grandmasters to provoke Igor.

They attacked the wall vigorously, intending to destroy it. But Igor shattered everything with his fist, allowing him to gain a good look at these two Spirit Grandmasters.

As soon as they stopped attacking, Igor jumped off the wall and chased after these people. He was rushing as if he was afraid that the squads he had sent around would be attacked by these guys.

The pair believed they had done their job and immediately retreated, trying to buy as much time as possible.

In the meantime, the ten Spirit Masters lured a lot of demons from all directions to attack this base. This way, the Zero Squad that was in charge of the base's protection would have their hands full.

…

"That's what happened," Richard explained the whole story.

"It seems that there is a mole that gives them the news about our movement," Rose muttered, instantly concluding this scenario. "We would have taken the enemy by surprise if our plan was not leaked.

"But at that time, there were only your captain and two zero squads. I don't like suspecting people, but our squad has been ruining their plan this whole time. So, I doubt our squad is the mole. That leaves…" Rose glanced, indirectly implying that the culprit was among their zero squads.

Richard obviously felt offended and glared at them. "Watch your mouths."

"I have a few reasons to suspect them." Rose snorted. "Anyway, we'll be helping you defend this wall. As for those ten Spirit Masters, our squad alone won't be enough. So…"

"Don't worry. We'll be helping you deal with those Spirit Masters." Richard didn't like how Rose spoke earlier, but they certainly needed their help right now. So, he wasn't going to cause more problems than necessary.

After getting the confirmation, Rose transmitted the whole situation to Noel and Ben below.

Noel surprisingly stopped for a moment as if feeling something weird.

'Two Spirit Grandmasters? I'm afraid those Grandmasters are Peak Spirit Grandmasters. They're equal to Devil Bishops.

'After all, those people should know better than anyone else that there will be Igor protecting this base. Even if they can somehow stall him, there is still Richard.

'That's why they have to send two Peak Spirit Grandmasters. And with the current situation, they can defeat Igor over time, but I don't think they have that much time since if we can solve these demons and regroup with Paul, we would be able to repel the other Peak Spirit Grandmasters.

'In that case, their aim is something else. They're just planning to stall Igor while crushing the Demon Hunting Squad.

'In other words, their original plan was this base all along. If this base is gone, no one will be able to stop them from creating more farms. Yeah, they should think the Count is still within their grasp, not realizing everything has started to crumble.'

With that thought in mind, Noel hurriedly raised his head and shouted to Rose, "Rose. I need you to maintain surveillance and find any Spirit Grandmaster. I'm afraid they're planning to destroy this base."

Rose nodded with a serious expression, albeit she froze afterward as if she was startled by what she saw.

She was pointing forward while having no words to say.

Noel was confused by her reaction. Even Richard, who was still standing next to her, followed that direction.

Both of them were dumbstruck when they saw a humongous tiger standing not far from the ten Spirit Masters.

Of course, a single Peak Level Demon wouldn't be so strange. The one that shocked them the most was actually the man that stood on top of the Peak Level Demon's head.

The demon was prideful, so they wouldn't allow someone to stand on top of their head. But this sight made them realize the enemy had managed to tame a Peak Level Demon.

Since the two Spirit Grandmasters that lured Igor away didn't ride a demon, it was clear that this person was the third Spirit Grandmaster.

In other words, there was a third Spirit Grandmaster that would be crushing them. Their target wasn't the base alone. They also wanted to take down Igor.

Noel clicked his tongue, realizing he had been outplayed by the enemy this time.

"Now, now… how should I fix this situation?"
