System vs Rebirth

*Bam!*

Noel and Anna landed on the ground safely. They looked around to find their target.

"Noel!" Anna shouted, pointing toward the right side. There were more demons over there, so it would be perfect for hunting. This way, they could lessen the burden on the wall.

Of course, Noel didn't reject that idea, considering he wanted to kill as many demons as possible.

He nodded to Anna while glancing to the side, looking at the demons who ferociously rammed their bodies into the translucent wall. They couldn't break through it no matter what. All they could do was stare at Noel and the others who were practically killing their kin.

"I'll be leading the charge as usual." Anna raised her sword while releasing her lightning. She took a deep breath and released her instinct.

As expected, the word 'kill' still rang in her head, but after knowing the difference between pure instinct and the one from her teacher, the word didn't affect her too much.

'My mind is clearer, but my sharpness remains the same. I should continue removing the brainwash from my past life to release the full strength of this instinct.'

Despite fighting intent emanating from her eyes, Noel had a hard time feeling the killing intent that usually fused with it. In fact, sometimes, he couldn't help but shudder when he felt the killing intent.

'She has changed?' Noel frowned while taking out his sword. Although he felt the change, he didn't know whether this was a good change or not. To prove it, he would have to fight alongside her first.

Looking at the numerous demons, Anna gathered her lightning around her sword. Surprisingly, she also noticed the difference in the flow of Spiritual Energy after controlling her instinct.

"Mhm?" The flow of her lightning was overbearing. It wanted to crush, destroy or kill anything before it. But this time, the flow was subtle, allowing her to gain more control over the lightning.
