System vs Rebirth

Noel gritted his teeth and planted his sword into the tree. While hanging on, he looked down to see Anna had turned around.

She created a circle with her Spiritual Energy and pushed it forward, creating a chain made of lightning. After that, she channeled her energy into her hands, skillfully forming a sword.

This lightning sword would be her weapon against the Advance Level Demon.

The Advance Level Demon stopped climbing and looked at the lightning circle with its bloodshot eyes. It raised both hands and caught the lightning.

"Burn it away!" Anna shouted while snapping her finger.

The lightning sparked for a split second, but the Advance Level Demon ripped the ring apart.

"As expected, I don't have enough Spiritual Energy to conjure a more powerful lightning attack." Anna clicked her tongue and slashed her sword downwards, trying to knock the demon off the branch.

However, the demon managed to grab Anna's sword easily. If it was a normal junior knight, they would be shocked by its power, but Anna had fought against demons stronger than this one. Hence, the moment the demon caught her lightning sword, Anna let the sword go and kicked him from the side, knocking him off.

After that, she landed on the branch and waved her left hand. "Sword D'Dantalian."

The lightning sword she conjured earlier to destroy the Ancient Demon Tree's root appeared again. She shot it right at the Advance Level Demon who was still trying to find a way to avoid getting shot down.

Anna's sword was faster than it expected. The sword arrived in an instant, causing the
