System vs Rebirth Chapter 154 Fighting The Mushroom Demon

“Anyway…” Noel rolled his eyes as he turned around, focusing on the mushroom demons. It seemed that they couldn’t ambush these demons anymore because of the current situation.

“Move! Kill all these demons so that the Saintess can focus on the Advanced Level Demon.” The knight captain commanded the group. Still, it looked too much for them.

Each Holy Knight was able to take on one or two Low Level Demons while the captain himself could handle the Mid Level ones. But the number was bigger than what they were capable of.

“Do you need my help?” The Saintess walked next to them as she had finally arrived after ensuring her safety.

“Can you go with Anna to stop the Advanced Level Demon? I’m going to kill some demons so that the holy knights can handle them.” Noel asked.

“That’s easily done.” The Saintess nodded in agreement before looking at Anna to ask for her opinions.

“Alright.” Anna also agreed to the suggestion and turned around. Her entire focus lied on Advanced Level Demon. She could see some demons trying to stand in her ways, but that didn’t matter anymore.

“Come.” She rushed forth while shouting. Lightning sparked out of her body as she channeled the lightning into her sword.

Four Points Circulation.

This was an Ancient Spirit Technique they got from the fortress’ treasury. It could release Spiritual Energy from their palms or soles. This time, Anna released the lightning through her sword and spread it on the ground, creating a fan-shaped area.

The lightning tried to destroy everything on its way, including the ground itself.

The Mid Level Demons that saw it immediately used their Spiritual Energy to shoot down the lightning to stop spreading. But a translucent screen appeared out of nowhere. This golden screen received their attacks easily.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Two explosions occurred to take down a single golden shield, but it didn’t even leave a scratch on the screen itself. Anna’s lightning continued to move forth and electrocuted anyone in its path.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons, who got electrocuted, roared in pain. Due to her spreading the lightning, the power contained in each lightning was a bit lacking. They couldn’t kill the Low Level Demons.

However, it was a different case because of Noel. A snowflake symbol suddenly appeared on top of these demons.

“Huh?!” Not just the demons, but also Anna and the Saintess were confused by this snowflake. Anna could see an immense cold from it while the Saintess felt the extraordinary Spiritual Energy. Anna thought, ‘Noel’s New Spirit Ability?’

When the snowflake fell to the ground, its cold spread and instantly froze everything in ten meters radius. Those demons that couldn’t move because their bodies were electrocuted were frozen.

“!!!” Anna widened her eyes in shock. This Spirit Ability was similar to what she used earlier. If the demons were in normal conditions, they could avoid it or jump to the air to avoid the freezing ground. But because she had stopped them with the lightning, the snowflake froze and took away their lives.

She glanced at Noel who remained behind her with a serious expression. ‘He has this kind of Spirit Ability already?’

She didn’t know that Noel had received two optional skills. The first one was this Freezing Crystal while the second one was Undying Fire. The Undying Fire cost 20 Skill Points while the Freezing Crystal only cost 7 Skill Points. Their strength difference was clear, but Noel didn’t have any plan in using it yet due to the immense cost and because he didn’t want to reveal his flame yet.

Seeing his freezing ability progressed by leaps and bounds, Noel immediately shifted his focus on other demons. He leaped toward one of the Mid Level Demons while ignoring their shock.

“Tsk. I can’t lose.” Anna clicked her tongue and immediately went straight to the mushroom demon. She channeled the Spiritual Energy into her sword and dispersed her lightning once again.

The lightning was weak compared to what she used earlier, but it was enough to shatter the ice that froze the demons.

The shattered ice contained the demons’ body and no one would be able to survive from that kind of wound.

Still, the most important thing was the fact that Anna and the Saintess could pass through them and arrived in front of the mushroom demons.

“It seems that you’re eager to be beaten.” Anna smirked, glaring at the mushroom demon while thinking, ‘Well, there are three ways for the mushroom demon to control me. The first one is to contaminate my Spirit, like the Saintess’ current situation. The second way is to use the spore in my brain. Last but not least, it’s from the touch. So, I can’t carelessly touch this mushroom.

She waved her sword down and released a crescent-shaped lightning that ran through the ground.

The mushroom demon looked at this lightning for a moment before it pointed its palm toward the lightning. A huge amount of Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted from that palm and struck the lightning, destroying it.

The residual Spiritual Energy continued its way to Anna, only to be blocked by the Saintess’ barrier. Still, the barrier had a few black spots as the proof of contamination, and when it blocked the Spiritual Energy, the black spot reacted and became a bit bigger.

“…” The Saintess felt the contamination and furrowed her eyebrows. If she continued this way, it would be very dangerous.Thi/s chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

Anna, on the other hand, smiled excitedly as she hadn’t fought an Advanced Level Demon for a while. “I have almost forgotten the fact that Advanced Level Demons have a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy. It doesn’t release it to the surrounding like the one I have found in the forest, but it’s clear that I can’t win easily.”

Anna took a deep breath as she channeled the lightning into her sword. This time, her sword was covered in blue light that extended a bit farther than her sword. The light was covered with lightning as well.

This was Anna’s preparation to handle a demon that she couldn’t touch.

“I’m going.” Anna smiled, informing the Saintess.

The Saintess’ expression turned serious. Despite the contamination, she still said, “Please rest assured that I’ll block all attacks coming to you.”
