System vs Rebirth

"Tsk." The guy gritted his teeth and smashed the ice, shattering it in one hit. However, Noel had caught up to him and slashed his sword downwards.

He easily used his arm to block Noel's slash, but surprisingly, he felt pain coming through it. "Huh?"

When he took another look at his arm, Noel blade managed to pierce through a little bit of his metal, causing it to start bleeding.

"What?" He was shocked, not expecting Noel's attack to be this strong. "No. You're not this strong. Even your attack is not this strong."

Noel smiled. "Of course, my effort alone might not be enough to pierce through your defense. But I'm not the only one fighting you."

Noel released all his anger in his Everchanging Sword Style. For Noel, anger was a deep resentment that could bring one's potential to the very limit in a single slash. That was why the blade became even sharper during this slash, allowing him to finally penetrate his defense.

"!!!" The guy realized what had actually happened. It was Anna. She had been kicking him in the same spot over and over again. The lightning had been penetrating his defense this whole time, and Anna must have thought that the lightning was enough and the only thing she had to do was to cut it. That was why she made the cutting motion earlier.

But because she was thrown away, Noel took that opportunity to be the first one to cut him.

"You—!" He wanted to grab Ardagan to throw Noel off, but Anna came through the hole that he shattered earlier.

"Thank you for destroying the ice. I can enter now." Anna smiled while slashing her sword. The guy was shocked but it was too late because Anna's sword had struck the back of Noel's sword, giving an additional boost and finally cutting the guy's left arm.

"!!!" He widened his eyes as the intense pain shocked his brain. "Aaaaahhhhh!"

He hurriedly leaped back to regain some distance while holding his left arm, which was still bleeding. Noel and Anna stood there together with a smile on their face as if they had been planning this kind of result the whole time.

"It seems that you've gotten far stronger than I imagine." Noel glanced at her.
