System vs Rebirth

Laufey, standing between the trees, started releasing his Spiritual Energy. Unlike Noel, whose energy gave an overwhelming feeling, Laufey's blood-red energy emitted an ominous feeling.

Even Gargan and Fil, who were standing next to him, could feel chills down their spine. Anger, hatred, and bloodlust combined into one, boosting the Spiritual Energy.

The more he released his energy, the stronger Laufey clenched his teeth.

Gargan usually overwhelmed his opponent with his supernatural fighting power. But when he was in front of Laufey, he couldn't help but feel so small as though Laufey was standing in front of him, ready to unleash his rage and rip him apart.

'Laufey Ardagan. He was once adopted by the Ardagan Family and became a Captain in the Demon Banner Army. Due to his ambition, he betrayed both of them and joined the Supreme Devil Organization.'

'When he was in the Demon Banner Army, people were afraid of his judgment because he could find any sort of clues from a person by using his own rage. The more they filled his rage, the guiltier they were.'

'People knew him as Raging Storm Laufey. However, after joining the Supreme Devil Organization, he became even more feared because his anger could be unleashed upon the kingdom. And eventually, his nickname changed, Mad Demon Laufey. The person who could use his rage to threaten the organization. So, this is the strength of the Mad Demon.'

After filling up the Spiritual Energy for his attack, Laufey's expression changed. The anger that reflected on his face disappeared without a trace as though all that rage was transferred into this single attack.

He took a step forward while raising his sword, ready to unleash his ability.

As soon as he locked on the target, Laufey waved his sword downwards.

"Madness Fury."

The blood-red Spiritual Energy flew forth and expanded. The raging energy was so powerful that it slightly tainted the Spiritual Energy black.

The overwhelming energy was emitting immense pressure. The ground trembled, the soil cracked, and the demons were obliterated.

It only took a second for the attack to reach the wall.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the wall had been reinforced with the Spirit Enchantment.

The symbol from the Spirit Enchantment was reacting to the surge of Spiritual Energy, creating a translucent barrier right in front of the wall, pushing all the demons back.

When the 'Madness Fury' hit the translucent barrier, the ground quaked. The soldiers couldn't help but drop to the ground as if the attack pushed the entire wall back.

The blast blew all the demons away as it boosted the strength of the 'Madness Fury' even further.

This Spirit Enchantment originated from the Barrier Rune, Spirit Gathering Rune, and Hardening Rune. Although they were incomplete, the combination of the three could withstand an attack from a Superior Demon easily. This was what a Reinforced City could do.

However, their opponent this time was Laufey. In addition, Laufey had a pent-up rage he had been storing this whole time.

This attack could be considered as his strongest attack that couldn't be used easily.

The raging torrent of Spiritual Energy was rampaging on the barrier's surface. It looked like the barrier could stop it, albeit it seemed that the barrier had worn down for quite a bit after getting attacked by a lot of demons in the past few days.

*Crack!*

"!!!" The soldiers widened their eyes in shock when they heard the cracking sound. The moment they found out that the barrier they were proud of was going to break, they couldn't help but shout, "Run away. The wall will be hit!"

The soldiers panicked and dispersed. Unfortunately, some of them were too late.

The 'Madness Fury' shattered the barrier and hit the wall. However, it seemed that the barrier managed to block most of its energy, so when it reached the barrier, it only created a small hole compared to the overall wall.

The hole was only three meters wide. Two small demons could enter at a time. However, there was a bigger problem than the hole. Once the barrier shattered, it meant the rune that strengthened the wall had completely worn off.

In other words, there was a high risk that the wall would be crushed by the demons, especially those Advanced and Peak Level Demons.

That was why the Vice Captain of the Demon Barrier Squad, who was in charge of the wall, shouted, "We have to close the wall! Division One, block the wall. Division two, hunt down all the demons that manage to enter the city! Hurry!"

The elite knights, who could use their Spiritual Energy, hurriedly jumped off the wall, heading straight to the hole.

However, a series of roars suddenly erupted when the demons failed to enter the hall.

"Hah?!" The Vice Captain narrowed his eyes, observing the hall. The demons seemed to be stopped by an invisible barrier, preventing them from entering. It turned out Jonathan was near the wall.

With his help, they managed to stop the incoming demons. And the two divisions agreed to block the hole while the rest killed the demons from the top of the wall.

Seeing the attempt was unsuccessful, Gargan couldn't help but ask, "Sir, should we open a bigger hole? With the Demonic Potion, we can reach the wall without being attacked by the demons…"

"No need." Laufey snorted. "We only have to wait. They are currently patching the hole right now, but those people from the Demon Relief Squad will surely leave the city, fully knowing that they are the reason for this attack. As soon as they leave the city, we'll attack them. But if they are a coward, we'll be creating another hole before attacking the city with the demons."

Since Laufey had decided, Gargan stopped talking. He observed the city carefully, wondering when Noel and the group would leave the city.

It seemed Noel did what Laufey had predicted.

Thirty minutes after the attack that destroyed the wall, a city gate was opened. However, it was the North City Gate.

"Sir!" Fil pointed at the north, seeing a huge movement as well as a carriage that broke through from the demon's ranks.
