System vs Rebirth

966 Last Progress

Anna gradually opened her eyes as the one he had known this whole time finally returned before him.

The first thing she did was make a sad smile. Even though this was her victory, she couldn't help but feel guilty for driving the original soul away from her body.

Anna looked at Noel's horrified expression as though he couldn't meet her anymore. Anna said with a soft tone, "See? You've known everything as I promised."

Noel walked toward her. It looked like he wanted to confirm if it was her or not. But the first thing he did was actually surprising.

*Pak!*

The crisping sound of a slap echoed. Anna and Andreas widened their eyes in shock. That was right. The first thing Noel did was actually slap her.

Anna covered her cheek with a surprised expression, but soon Noel hugged her as tightly as possible.

"Do you know that one mistake will completely erase you? What am I going to do without you?"

Anna's body shook. The one who was most pained by this agreement was not the original Anna. It was Noel.

Ultimately, they had played with Noel's feelings. Anna knew that she deserved this slap but thought that Noel would hug her afterward.

He was indeed angry, but more importantly, he was just glad that he could see her again.

"I'm sorry." Anna closed her eyes. Tears began to flow out of the corner of her eyes.

"Never do this again!"

"I know. I won't ever do this again. I promise!"

Noel took a deep breath. As much as he wanted to continue, he knew that this was not the right time. He released her and stepped back. "So, Andreas. What are you going to do?"

"As promised, I'm going to stay in your territory. I will help you defend your city, but I won't become a part of the Ardagan Family."

"That is good enough. In that case, I welcome you to our city. I will ask Dimitri for your accommodation."

Andreas nodded. "The soul transfer is done. It might take a toll on the soul, so let her rest for one or two days before doing anything."

"Understood. Thank you, Andreas."

Andreas nodded.

"In that case, let's go back."

Noel led the group back into the city. Dimitri was obviously surprised to see Andreas here, especially with that disguise. But Andreas was strong. If he could become a Spirit Grandmaster after learning from the Sword Saint, he would definitely be a powerful ally.

After experiencing a rollercoaster of emotion, there was no way Noel could be calm enough to do his work. In the end, he chose to spend the rest of the day with Anna.
