System vs Rebirth

Alexander wanted to confirm, but he suddenly felt an overwhelming presence coming from the side.

"!!!" Alexander immediately jumped forward as Oscar made his appearance right in front of him.

"Alexander!" Oscar grinned and punched forward.

"Oscar." Alexander didn\'t expect that Oscar would be arriving so fast. Their fists collided, causing a massive shock wave that shook the area.

"Power!" Oscar used his power, boosting the strength on his arm. He overpowered Alexander and launched him to the ground.

Bam!

Alexander gnashed his teeth, trying to assess the situation. Josephine should be smart enough to see what was going on, but Alexander had actually sealed Josephine.

When she created the portal and was about to enter, several wind blades cut the portal into pieces, neutralizing her power.

"!!!" Josephine turned around and waved her scythe, the tip getting covered with her space element that would distort everything.

Shale was there as if he were trying to grab the scythe. In front of him was his wind element that clashed with that distortion.

The space element distorted the wind element, but the latter also dispersed the space element in all directions.

In the end, both of them neutralized each other\'s power.

"I have always thought that you are the bad guy, but it seems that you have truly joined the Supreme Devil Organization." Shale moved away and landed on the ground. He pulled out his sword, ready to slash diagonally.

"You don\'t know anything." Josephine also did the same.

Both of them swung their weapons at the same time, sending forth their own elements.

The wind and the space element created a cross-shaped collision as they ended up neutralizing each other\'s gain.

"Since I don\'t know, please educate me on what you know. Or maybe you want to tell me later… in the torture room, that is!" Shale used his fast speed, closing the gap between them.

"What can you ask if you\'re dead?!" She waved her scythe downward.

Shale jumped away as the burst of spiritual energy pushed him back. He immediately slashed his sword so that Josephine couldn\'t run away.

Josephine was forced to form a portal to absorb the incoming wind attack, but as one would expect from the top captain of the Demon Banner Army. His wind expanded at the last second to the point where the space couldn\'t even suck it. Instead, the wind was actually stretching the portal until it reached its limit and broke.

It was her turn to jump away, getting some distance. She cut down all the trees in their surroundings. Before falling, she absorbed all those trees into the void.

Shale rushed toward her and saw multiple portals above him, releasing all the trees.

Shale formed a sphere with his wind, isolating him. As a result, all the trees that fell on top of the barrier got deflected by the sheer pressure from the wind.

But that was what Josephine was waiting for. She rotated her hand as if she were twisting something. All of a sudden, the wind\'s flow was inverted.

In other words, all the trunks were now coming straight at him.

All the woods immediately hit Shale.

"Hahaha. Got you!" Josephine laughed.

"Did you?" Shale smirked when he was being pinned down to the ground by all these trees.

"!!!" Josephine suddenly felt the wind flow change. When her eyes looked around, she realized that the wind flow had changed as well. Several of them combined and formed a stronger wind and went toward her, each of them felt like she was getting hit by multiple carriages at once.

"Argghhh!"

Bam!

The explosion occurred after all the wind combined together, kicking up the dust on the ground.

A burst of wind then swept away both the trunks on top of Shale\'s body and the dust as Shale stood up.

Josephine\'s body flickered as she escaped from the explosion, albeit barely.

Shale couldn\'t help but furrow his eyebrows. Josephine had gotten even stronger when she joined the Supreme Devil Organization.

He realized that Alexander was the one teaching her, allowing her ability to develop even further.

At this point, Josephine might be able to reach the Spirit Transcendence in the near future.

Still, he couldn\'t kill Josephine in a short period of time even with the True Spirit Body since Josephine also had one.

On the other side, Alexander and Oscar made an even bigger mess.

Alexander punched the air, creating torrential pressure toward Oscar. The torrential pressure destroyed everything in front, including a portion of the ground.

"Scatter!" Oscar imbued his spiritual energy into his order, causing the torrential pressure to disperse in all directions.

Alexander wanted to throw another punch, but Oscar shouted, "Deviant!"

In that instant, the spiritual energy on Alexander\'s fist turned against him and caused a massive burst that hit its owner.

Alexander was pushed back for several meters. It looked like Alexander was at a disadvantage, but the latter knew Oscar\'s power wasn\'t that conventional. It drained his energy, and if there was a gap of power, it could even cause an internal injury.

After fighting multiple times in the last few years, he already grasped Oscar\'s power. At the same time, he knew he couldn\'t kill Oscar so easily. After all, the other party was known for his tenacity.

Alexander realized that there must be a reason for Oscar to suddenly come to this. In addition, he had sealed them so that no one could relay any information, especially regarding the Tower Association.

"!!!" Alexander widened his eyes in shock. "This is a trap! We have to go back!"

Oscar grinned. Even if he realized it, it was too late.

On the battlefield, the position of the troops remained the same. However, there were three people that actually joined the fight this time. They should have retired years or even decades ago, but Oscar lowered his head to get their help.

One of them was the former captain of the Demon Beholder Squad, the one Dimitri asked for a favor. The other two were the former captains of the Demon Hunting Squad and the Demon Barrier Squad.

"To think that the young commander is asking us for help."

"It can\'t be helped. The Supreme Devil Organization has been more active in his generation."

"I guess it\'s fine for us to move these old bones for a bit and maybe kill several hundred Supreme Devil Organization members while we are at it."
