System vs Rebirth

"I see." Noel closed his eyes for a moment. He had a hard time believing that the person in front of her was actually the one who killed his family in this life. Although everything was a scam, he still had a complicated feeling.

On the one hand, he had dropped his hatred long ago because of the Anna he had known this whole time. On the other hand, he wondered if this was a good idea, considering he had wanted to kill this Anna in the past.

When he thought that this Anna wanted to help the current Anna get stronger, he was grateful. At the same time, it meant that she would lose her body. In fact, she might not be able to call herself Anna anymore.

As if seeing his true thoughts, Anna said, "You don't have to feel bad about me. In fact, this is something I deserve. I have done too many bad things. As you said to Anna, let's look toward the future. Even if I can't be Anna anymore despite being the original, I want to at least become a proper person in the future. I know that it won't wash away my sin, but I will continue living forward for the sake of tomorrow."

Noel took a deep breath before asking, "So, what are you going to do after this?"

"I think you should come with me. There is another part that I haven't told you yet, and it's better if you see it yourself."

"Alright." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

Both Anna and Noel actually left the city and headed straight to the mountain as if there was something waiting for them. He thought it would be related to the mine, but by the time they reached the foot of the mountain, Noel noticed a presence.

"Hmm?!" Noel raised his head, finding a human with a pair of wolf ears sitting on a branch. "Andreas?!"

That was right. It turned out Andreas went back together with them. Even Noel didn't expect this. He had promised Old Ru not to bring Andreas after all.

"This…" Noel looked at Anna. "What is going on?"

"Actually…" Anna gave a wry smile as she began recounting the other part.

…

After forming the soul contract, Andreas came out of the consciousness and inspected the sword.

"This is a rather interesting sword. I can feel the trace of someone's ability related to soul… It indeed has the power to contain a soul, but more importantly, there seems to be something else related to it."

Anna opened her eyes. The original Anna had taken over according to the agreement.

"The blade was given by the previous host of your spirit. He was known as the Sword Saint one thousand years ago."

"Sword Saint?" Andreas, and surprisingly, Old Ru exclaimed.

Old Ru looked down for a moment while Andreas asked, "The Sword Saint aside, I can definitely move your soul into this blade. I think there is another mechanism that can be used to empower the sword. But I guess I will explain it later if the competition is over."

"That's probably a good idea." Anna nodded in agreement.
