Noel and Anna were standing outside the town. Since they were going to fight seriously, they had to do it outside if they didn't want to destroy all the things they worked hard for.

"Are you sure about this?" Duke Lorelei asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, Sir. If you're worried about injuring us, we have our own plan. It won't hinder us or anything." Noel nodded.

"In that case, I won't hold back. I won't deal any damage that would last for a lifetime, but I might break a few of your bones in my attack. And you are also free to do the same thing if you are capable of doing that." Duke Lorelei ultimately agreed after a lot of persuasion from Noel yesterday.

"Thank you, Sir. And I hope that there won't be any grudges after this battle." Noel smiled.

"Of course." Duke Lorelei placed his left hand on his scabbard and his right hand on the sword's handle, ready to pull it out.

Anna and Noel pulled out their swords and raised their stances.

As someone who had been chasing after the sword, Duke Lorelei noticed something different from these two.

Her sword felt sharp and mysterious, as though it were waiting for the right time to unleash its might to catch its prey. Meanwhile, Noel's sword appeared to be changing. At first, it looked like a fiery blaze and the next second it was as cold as winter.

"Interesting." Duke Lorelei smirked. He knew that these two were not normal, but not to this extent. It seemed that he would be able to have some fun in this battle. "You both can come at me together!"

Noel and Anna took a deep breath. Their spiritual energy erupted, forming a shock wave that blew away the grass around them.

With just a glance at each other, both of them made the same movement.

They both disappeared from Duke Lorelei's vision.

Duke Lorelei's vision turned left, focusing on Anna. Her speed seemed to be faster than Noel's, so she would be the first one to attack.

But surprisingly, at the very last second, Anna took the step a little too late, causing Noel to catch up.

"!!!" Duke Lorelei was surprised to see Anna changing her pace at the last moment. Instead of blocking only her, Evan had no choice but to block these two youngsters at the same time. He flicked the cross guard, causing the blade to unsheathe a little bit. A sharp energy flowed out of the scabbard and split into two.

They both swung their blades at Evan, but this energy stopped them.

Anna and Noel were startled, but they weren't done just with this. Anna snapped her fingers, forming a rune underneath the three of them.

Evan didn't know what kind of rune this was, but he didn't sense any danger. But the next thing he realized, Noel suddenly split the energy apart and his sword continued moving toward him.

This was actually the same rune Anna used to amplify the soldiers' strengths during the exploration. Noel took this chance to strike him down. At the same time, lightning sparked around Anna as she spun her body, looping around the energy and striking the duke from behind.

'They are truly in sync, but…' Duke Lorelei suddenly ducked down, letting their swords hit each other.
