System vs Rebirth

"…Officially starts!"

The moment they heard it, both Heirden and Anna released their Spiritual Energy.

The eruption of their energy caused a massive shock wave that soon clashed with each other, creating immense pressure on the field. The dust was pushed to the wall, the ground began to shake, and the people had a hard time breathing.

In that moment, the four Arbiters as well as the experts who had been invited to protect the pillar, began releasing their Spiritual Energy, creating a barrier to block everything from reaching them.

"Haaa…"

There were a lot of pantings among the audience as they were gasping for air.

The announcer explained excitedly, "I'm sure that you've felt it as well. Their power seems to be equal and we'll definitely be able to see a great match, determining whether Count Heirden could remain in his position or get replaced by Anna Stargaze!"

It seemed that they deliberately allowed both of them to pressure the citizens to showcase their power. This would give them knowledge about the power of an Arbiter, not just by seeing it but also by experiencing it.

After that brief clash, the pressure died down.

Anna took out her sword while Heirden raised both hands. Rocks soon appeared out of nowhere, covering his entire arm.

Their eyes flashed as both of them leaped forward.

Anna waved her blade straight to Heirden's neck while the latter raised his hand, blocking the sword.

A clicking sound echoed. It was hard for a blade to cut down a rock, especially when both of them were coated by the same amount of energy.

However, Anna stomped the ground, using her lower body to gain a surge of strength before transferring it to her hand.

"Haaaa!" She roared, exerting strength three times more than she previously used.

"!!!" Even Heirden didn't expect such power to come from her frail body. He tried to stop the blade, but the force was too much for him to handle, causing his body to spin upside down.

Even though he was old, it didn't mean that his body was already too stiff to move. He skillfully used his hands to stand while covering his right foot with the rock before kicking Anna.
