System vs Rebirth

"Amazing." Duke Lorelei smiled.

"Tsk. It's still too short." Noel clicked his tongue. He thought he could reach him this time, but his control wasn't at that level yet.

"To think it would need our rune and abilities for him to draw his sword halfway. It seems that we have to go all out for him to fully unsheathe that sword." Anna stood next to him, ready for the second round.

"That's right. If you have the ability, force me to fight you seriously." Duke Lorelei provoked them again, showing that he was nowhere near his peak.

Noel and Anna exchanged looks. They seemed to reach a tacit understanding about their next plan.

The Empowerment Rune in their body got activated, boosting their physical abilities. The surge of strength was noticeable even by the Sword Arbiter.

In that instant, both of them disappeared. Their movement was much faster than earlier, startling him.

Noel waved his sword, creating a circle around his body. The Duke ended up striking this circle, which soon expanded, pushing the duke back.

The duke never thought he would fall for such a trick at this age.
