System vs Rebirth

'A woman?'

Anna became even more shocked. In the first place, there were not many women who had exceptional strength. It wasn't because they were less talented, but it was due to the nobility system, burying those talents with the so-called political marriage.

That was why if the opponent was a woman, it was easier to identify them, considering the woman's strength was exceptional.

'Who is—!'

It seemed that the opponent had sensed her hesitation and immediately released the next attack.

A huge ice pillar suddenly emerged from the ground, isolating Anna and dragging her to the sky.

She was completely frozen solid inside the ice, unable to fight back.

However, a lightning spark covered the pillar before eventually shattering the ice and breaking Anna free.

It took more than that to defeat Anna. The woman might have known this as she actually approached Anna during her time inside the ice.

As a result, she was already right before her eyes when Anna shattered the ice.

"Kh." Anna tried to swing her sword, but she was too late.

The woman grabbed her wrist, spun her body, and used the centrifugal force to launch Anna far away.

At the same time, four ice walls emerged from the ground, isolating a space with nothing inside.

Anna didn't understand what the woman was trying to do by expending all that spiritual energy, but one thing was clear. If she didn't get serious, she might be defeated by this mysterious woman.

Anna forcefully stopped her momentum by using the Enhance Forward Rune on her body and took the woman by surprise.

"!!!" The enemy hurriedly waved her hands down, but Anna was one step forward and slashed her.

A cracking sound echoed, and Anna couldn't help but click her tongue as the thing she slashed earlier was none other than ice.
