System vs Rebirth

"Awaken! Ice Transformation (Lightning Possession)!"

A pair of ice wings appeared on Noel's back and an ice crown hovered above Noel's head. Anna had her eyes and hair turn white as the lightning covered her entire body.

Evan couldn't help but smile in excitement. This was what he had been waiting for. Their strength was amplified and it was clear that there was no side effect from using it.

And as he expected, since both of them were working together, Noel also had the same ability.

"There is no holding back," Noel said while stabbing the ground with his sword.

Ice crystals began to emerge from the ground. They continued expanding as more and more appeared, moving to the duke's location.

"Of course." Evan smiled while lowering his sword. His expression turned solemn as though he were treating Noel as his equal in this fight.

The moment the ice crystal was about to reach him, Evan took a step forward, striking the ice crystal. The swing sliced the ice crystal like paper and that slash actually released a horizontal strike that flew toward Noel.

"Huh?" Noel was surprised because the sword energy was avoiding all the ice crystals on its path and ultimately hitting him. Noel had no choice but to deflect that energy with his sword.

However, Evan wasn't done yet. He actually moved forward and slashed more and more ice crystals. Every single slash launched the same sword energy.

Noel had to block all these sword strikes because, when he tried to avoid them, the sword energy curved once more and chased after him.

And the more sword strikes that landed on him, the closer the duke became.

In just three seconds, the duke had actually gone halfway and Noel couldn't actually escape from his position.

Noticing that he was in trouble, Anna appeared from the side and struck him, only to find it meeting the duke's sword. He had been waiting for Anna because the energy in his sword turned violent the moment the two swords clashed.

Anna wasn't losing either. Her lightning energy clashed with the duke's violent, sharp energy.

The moment it reached the duke, it electrocuted the duke's hand to make it numb and weaken his grip. At the same time, the momentum Anna carried earlier pushed Evan three meters away.

The duke looked at his hand as lightning sparked multiple times, creating some small wounds.

However, Anna wasn't in good shape either. The violent energy reached her hand, shredded apart her sleeve, and left some wounds.

Now that some wounds had begun to appear, the fight had gotten serious.

Still, Anna's attack gave Noel time to recover. He hurriedly rushed to the duke and struck him from above.

Bam!

The duke stopped it with his blade, but the force Noel used actually pinned the duke to the ground and even turned the soil underneath it into a crater.
