System vs Rebirth Chapter 1144: Counterattack

“Tristan, Sandra!”

Felicia leaped toward them. The spirit grandmaster and the two spirit masters tried to stop her. The same applied to Andreas, who was fighting with a spirit grandmaster.

Meanwhile, once they managed to flip the car, the three experts continued bombarding them from afar.

Unfortunately for them, a barrier appeared next to the car, blocking all the attacks completely. Due to the barrier having more distance from the car, the explosion didn’t cause enough force to flip the car again.

“Ha… Ha…” Tristan panted a few times as he opened the car’s door and climbed on top of the car.

Sandra also did the same thing, showing that they were fine.

“Good.” Felicia felt relieved and summoned two Meteor Runes, blasting her own opponents.

Those three couldn’t help but fall back, fully knowing that this meteor rune could kill a Superior Demon. Even the spirit grandmaster didn’t dare to cut the meteor rune like earlier after realizing how much energy he needed to cut one.

Felicia took this time to position herself near the car. At the same time, she formed a spiritual barrier to block the bombardment herself.

While it was true that the car had a lot of demon crystals, they still needed those demon crystals to continue the trip. So it wouldn’t be good to use everything up without any plans.

Still, Tristan knew that Felicia alone wouldn’t be enough to fight six people. Although it looked like she wanted Andreas to eliminate one of them first, it would be too hard for her.

That was why Tristan jumped to the other side of the car.

“Tristan?” Sandra did the same, staring at him with a confused expression. “What’s wrong?”

“Can you flip the car back to its original position?” Tristan asked while lifting the car with all his strength.

Sandra did the same, but they were not strong enough to lift it up.

“We can’t.” Sandra shook her head. “Felicia can.”

“No. We can’t give her more work to do. Instead, we should use the car’s defensive system to lessen her burden. But to do that, we need to first flip the car.”

“Can’t we just use rune cards?” Sandra asked.

“…” Tristan fell silent for a moment before placing his hands on the ground. ‘Can I do it?’

Even though he had experience creating runes, all of them were his training in a safe environment. His mind was currently shaking and his heart was beating loudly. He didn’t know whether he could draw a rune in this situation.

‘No. I have to do it.’ Tristan started drawing runes on the ground with his spiritual energy. He intentionally created one rune on each hand. However, his focus deteriorated because of the sound of explosions, so he had no choice but to abandon the second one.

At the very least, one of them had to work.

“Enhance Forward Rune.” Tristan activated the rune.

The rune shone and pushed the upper part of the car upward, gradually flipping the car back to its original position. The car looked like it was damaged, but it wasn’t destroyed.

“We need to kill the spirit masters at the very least. I need your help.” Tristan pointed at the guy on the left.

Sandra nodded with a serious expression. She waved her left hand, lifted her skirt, and pulled two throwing knives hidden underneath it. Her other hand reached the small pocket on her back and took out a rune card.

Meanwhile, Tristan returned to the car and placed his hand on the car’s roof. “Activate.”

The two spirit masters were still supporting the spirit grandmaster in attacking Felicia, who was also occupied with the bombardment.

“Tsk.” Felicia clicked her tongue while glancing at Andreas. It would still take some time before Andreas could kill his opponent, but it didn’t seem that she would be able to last for that long.

In addition, the two spirit masters split up, surrounding Felicia in two directions. Meanwhile, the sword grandmaster looped around, trying to attack the two kids.

“You’re not going anywhere!” Felicia shot out a meteor rune at the spirit grandmaster, halting his advance for a few seconds.

However, the two spirit masters took this chance to approach her.

Felicia gritted her teeth. She might be able to stop one of them, but the other would definitely hit her.

But that was when a throwing knife flew toward one of the spirit masters.

“!!!” The spirit master tilted his body to the side and struck the throwing knife back at the car.

However, that was when a huge rune appeared in front of the car’s door, facing the spirit master.

“What?” The spirit master hurriedly raised both arms and used his own energy to form a barrier.

Meteor Rune.

“Sh…” The spirit master took the full brunt of the Meteor Rune. His barrier shattered into pieces, while his body was blown away.

Before he could get up, Sandra threw the second throwing knife.

The spirit master raised his arm, allowing the throwing knife to hit him on the arm instead of the body.

Unfortunately for him, this throwing knife was just a distraction as behind the throwing knife was none other than the rune card she took out earlier.

The rune card was flipped by its internal function and shot out a powerful blast right at the guy’s face.

Rune Blast.

“NO!” The spirit master wanted to form the barrier again, but it was too late. Both his hand and his head got hit directly by the Rune Blast and were reduced to ashes.

“!!!” The enemies looked shocked because one of them died in the kids’ hands.

Felicia couldn’t help but smile. She only had to focus on the second spirit master. “Die!”

“Not good!” The spirit master wanted to get away, but he was already too close to Felicia.

A rune appeared on top of him, causing a huge explosion of spiritual energy.

“Aaaggghh!” The spirit master screamed as his right hand and his left foot were blown flying into the air while a lot of his bones were crushed from the explosion.

Tristan couldn’t help but shout, “Kill those three! Focus on the attack and trust us!”

Felicia didn’t know what their plan was, but she chose to trust him for the time being. At the very least, her equipment was good. Even if she got hit because of a mistake, she would only be injured, not dead.

As soon as they saw Felicia approaching, the three enemies shifted their target to Felicia, trying to stop her from reaching them.

At the same time, the other spirit grandmaster had already reached the other side of the car. Since the two kids were hiding inside the barrier, the spirit grandmaster gathered all his energy to break through it.

“Defining Strike!”

The sword was extended by his spiritual energy, causing a huge crack in the barrier.

“One more time!” The spirit grandmaster gathered his spiritual energy again.

But before he could shoot, something big happened to his friends.

The three guys attacked Felicia at the same time.

Instead of using the spiritual barrier rune, Felicia chose the meteor runes instead.

After all, when their attacks were about to reach her, a barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking all these attacks.

Felicia couldn’t help but smile. It was Sandra. She threw the Spiritual Barrier Card at her. She might be a bit lucky with the timing, but the plan worked.

“Get away!”

The three of them panicked, but the Meteor Runes had blasted them before they could escape.

“Aaaahhh!” The two spirit masters were close to dying, while the spirit grandmaster had a sluggish movement because a few of his bones were broken.

This was the perfect chance for Felicia to kill them.

Meanwhile, the sword grandmaster had gathered enough spiritual energy to crush the barrier.

“Defining Strike.” He used all his power to kill Tristan, who was inside the car, before escaping.

The cracked barrier stopped the sword strike for a second, but the latter ended up crushing the barrier.

The guy thought Tristan would definitely get split into two together with the car.

Unfortunately for him, Tristan also activated his Spiritual Barrier card inside.

A barrier appeared right before the ‘Defining Strike’ reached the car. Due to the amount of spiritual energy inside the rune card, the barrier ended up vanishing after blocking the sword strike.

“!!!” The sword grandmaster was shocked, but it didn’t matter. He just needed to strike it again.

To his surprise, he sensed a presence coming from his right. He twisted his body so that he could direct his swing, only to find his hand flying right after as Andreas had come to the rescue. Without them noticing, Andreas had actually killed the spear grandmaster.

They should be able to win in this condition. Yet before Andreas could unleash his strike, he abruptly raised his head while shouting, “Enemy!”

There was another presence coming so fast that they could barely react.
