System vs Rebirth

"The contract is now valid." The Sword Saint smiled. "Try to wonder about Ardagan's secret."

"Mhm?" Anna was confused for a moment and tried to form a thought about Ardagan, but she suddenly felt an extreme pain jolting her brain. She instinctively clutched her head and fell to her knees. "Kh. What is this?"

"This is the effect of Soul Contract. I'm sure that you know the consequences if you're prying too deeply, right?"

"Yes." Anna nodded with a serious expression.

"Good." The Sword Saint nodded, satisfied. He then waved his hand as one of the chests on the side opened. Suddenly, a white blade flew toward them. The blade was thin, compared to Ardagan, but even with just a look, both Noel and Anna could feel the sharpness. They believed that the sharpness could rival that of Ardagan.

"This is the blade that my old friend, Simeon Ardagan, created. I was sulking at that time that I always lost against him, so he created this blade for me to defeat him."

"Huh?" Noel was baffled by his statement. "My ancestor can make weapons?"

"You don't know about it? But from your knowledge, it seems that he passed down the secret for Enchantment, which is perfect for blacksmith. This blade has five Enchantments: Extension, Harden, Conductor, Burst, and Blood. I don't think I need to explain it to you about the traits, so use it well."

"Yes." Anna gratefully accepted the reward.

"Alright then. Now that I have given you the reward, can you leave this place? I have things I want to tell him."
