System vs Rebirth

Heirden rushed forward while covering his entire body with rock. Anna wasn't afraid of him and made the same move.

When they were about to reach each other, Anna waved her blade, using the lightning to drastically increase his speed.

Heirden instinctively realized that this swing was more dangerous than the one he had seen before. He hurriedly raised his right hand, catching the blade.

The energy around Anna's sword burst, stopping him from closing his palm to grab her sword.

Since it was useless, Heirden changed his tactics by stomping the ground.

"!!!" Anna suddenly felt her body become light. It turned out Heirden stomped the ground to turn it into a crater. He used that split second where her body wasn't on the ground to punch her.

Heirden had even used his rock to attach himself to the floor, allowing him to move his body freely.

Anna clicked her tongue and created a bolt of lightning on the side, trying to blast the stone fist. To everyone's surprise, the lightning suddenly burst out, launching Anna with its shock wave.

"What?" Heirden was surprised and turned around, finding Anna at the edge of the arena. 'Did she use her own lightning to propel herself? She's judged that my attack hurts more than her power…'

He had seen a lot of insane people, but he never thought that Anna would rather injure herself instead of allowing his attack to land on her body. As a result, Anna escaped with only a minor bruise.

Heirden didn't plan to let Anna control the pace of the battle. He placed his hands on the ground as the floor and the wall formed a whip that caught Anna's wrists and ankles.

Still, Heirden didn't know anything about Anna's Spirit Link. Her instinct warned her about the incoming danger, including these rocks.

She skillfully jumped forth, avoiding Heirden's attack. After that, she used the angle of the crater to jump toward Heirden.

The moment he saw Anna's sword was sheathed again, he immediately formed multiple walls between himself and Anna, thinking, 'That attack is coming.'

He didn't deny the fact that Anna's sword strike was so strong that he would die if he wasn't careful.

However, this was what Anna wanted from the start.
