System vs Rebirth

"What?!" Heirden gasped as he instinctively thickened the layer of rocks that protected his skin to the point where he looked like a golem instead of a human.

After that, he raised both hands, trying to stop Anna's blade.

Anna utilized the momentum as well as the fierce lightning to strike Heirden. She wanted to know how much strength she could muster by this Awakening.

Obviously, the power of the Awakening was not at the same level as the True Spirit Body. But the pill had transformed the Spirit Links, including her veins, to a level where her body could assimilate with the Spirit itself.

When her blade struck Heirden's blade, the Spiritual Energy erupted. The lightning was rampaging on the area, shattering the ground even further. The rampant lightning also bounced toward the barrier.

"!!!" Her father, Kevin, couldn't help but increase the output of his Spiritual Energy as the barrier began to tremble. Kevin looked at his daughter and sucked a cold breath, 'Since when has my daughter become this strong? No, what is she doing the whole time?'

Not only the control but also this transformation. Kevin thought Anna had done something unprecedented.

He was afraid because showing too much would definitely shoot her down. After showing her profound control, the Royal Family might be trying to tie her down. But with this transformation, there was a possibility of the royal family using their influence to suppress her and get whatever they wanted. If they didn't receive it, they would consider Anna's act as treason and carry out the execution.

Still, he hadn't seen Anna's True Spirit Body, so he didn't know how big the gap between this transformation and the True Spirit Body was.

Even the Marshall trembled upon seeing this transformation. In normal cases, he wasn't afraid of anything, considering he was a Spirit Transcendence. The only one who could fight with him equally was Commander Oscar or Alexander.

But from the power of this transformation, he'd got a sense of dread, not because of her power, but because of her potential.

If Anna could completely grow to her fullest potential, there was a chance that her power would be so strong that no one could bind her anymore.

Even the king had to re-evaluate the situation.

Still, the fight had yet to end.

The lightning was shattering the rocks that covered Heirden. Anna had just shown a strength second only to the True Spirit Body.

If their power was equal before, this transformation would have completely overcome the gap.

"Haaa!" Anna roared while releasing all her strength to complete one full swing.
