System vs Rebirth

A lightning bolt fell from the clear sky.

The snake raised its head, releasing every bit of energy he could muster at the moment. Unfortunately, it was too late.

The lightning fell down much faster than it could cover itself. Upon making contact, the lightning caused a massive explosion in the shape of a half sphere, engulfing everything within a two hundred meter radius.

Rui dropped her jaw in shock. It wasn't the size of the destruction that surprised her. It was the power behind that lightning bolt.

Even Noel couldn't help but smile, realizing how strong the lightning bolt was.

"Well, even I would have some trouble facing that. I need Ardagan to block it." Noel was proud. If only Ardagan were here, and Anna could also become a spirit king. Both of them could definitely defeat the demon kings.

When the explosion settled down, the snake was still alive. However, the scales, especially the ones that made the first contact, were completely obliterated. The scales around that area were either suffering numerous cracks or getting scorched.

The residual lightning still sparked all over the snake's body, electrocuting the snake.

Smoke was coming out of its pores. The snake released a burst of energy to blast it away. While enduring the pain, it swung its own body.

"!!!" Anna couldn't dodge fast enough, especially after using such a big move.

She got hit on the left arm and was launched for more than two hundred meters.

After that, the snake released a green beam from its mouth. It hit the ground first and moved toward Anna as the snake raised his head.

Anna hurriedly got up, but in the end, the ray was faster and hit her before she could escape. She blocked it with her sword, but she continued getting pushed back.

Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. His spiritual energy erupted, trying to ignore these demons and hit the snake.

However, Anna suddenly appeared in the air right before the snake's eyes.

She was injured, but she was still planning to fight this snake alone.

A flash came from Anna, and a split second later, Anna had passed the snake. One of the wings on the snake's back was sent flying.

"Shaaa!" The snake was screaming in pain. Its body wriggled, trying to hit her again.

However, Anna had seen this pattern and immediately leaped into the air by using the Platform Rune before it was too late.

The snake released another beam of poison, but Anna skillfully avoided it with another leap.

She formed multiple Platform Runes and jumped from one to another like a pinball, confusing the snake.

The snake took advantage of its massive body to create an obstacle, hoping to hit her.

Anna surprisingly stopped using the Platform Rune and actually ran on the snake's body instead. The snake was trying to get away, but Anna was one step faster.

She reached the snake's head and struck it with all her strength.

"Shaaa!" the snake wailed in pain. There was a huge wound on its head because Anna struck the same spot as the one she hit earlier.

The snake's tail had finally arrived and slapped her to the ground.

"Gah!" Anna spat a mouthful of blood as she crashed into the ground, creating a crater.

The snake wanted to release another beam, but all of a sudden, a huge ice crystal appeared from the ground, both stopping the snake's movement as well as piercing through multiple cracks in its skin.

The snake didn't expect that Noel would be helping all of a sudden. He ended up taking several hits from a few Superior Demons because of that reason, but it didn't matter.

"Jeez. You're such a worrywart. Then again, I'm the same." Anna smiled wryly. The assist wasn't needed because she took that blow willingly so that she could charge the lightning energy again. And for the second time of the day, a lightning bolt fell from a clear sky.

Boom!

This time, the lightning hit the wound on the head, which ended up piercing through its skin and creating a hole in its head.

Whether the body was damaged or not didn't matter. After all, the snake was falling to the ground, dead.

"Hehe. We're finally done." Anna smirked.

"It's time to speed up then." Noel nodded. He immediately increased the output of his power and started massacring the demons. Rui noticed his movement and did the same thing.

Since there was still time for her True Spirit Body, Anna also worked together with them.

Incetta felt helpless because she couldn't compete with them, but Vivi assured her that she had progressed a lot. She should be able to become a spirit transcendence expert before the final battle, which allowed her to do such a thing.

It didn't take too long for them to wipe out most demons. As a result, the demons lost their number and instinctively feared them, causing the rest to flee.

Although they were unable to take down all of them, they had at least killed twenty-five thousand demons.

When everything was over, Rui couldn't help but look at the battlefield, specifically the snake's body, from the air. She sighed. "To think that a heavenly disaster that has been plaguing the clan for over a few decades would die so easily."

Rui knew that the biggest contributor would be Noel and Anna, who were willing to take the risk.

Meanwhile, Anna pointed at Noel while saying, "With this, we're one step closer to making you a spirit king. Do we have enough cores to reach that stage if we eliminate all the ancient demons?"

"I don't know. Besides, even if I have filled up my energy, I won't be able to become a spirit king yet. Just like what happens when we become a spirit transcendence, I still need to know the path to becoming a spirit king. I guess it'll be much harder than a spirit transcendence. I will probably have to wait until Ardagan recovers."

"Is that so?"

"Still, once I fill up my spiritual energy reserves, you're going to be next, alright? We need to kill both demon kings, so you need to become one too."

She smiled. "Alright, alright. I know."

"I'll tell Incetta to ask the others to clean up. As for you, I'll need to fix you up. I won't take no for an answer this time."

She chuckled. "Yes, sir."
