System vs Rebirth Chapter 453 Cornering The Enemy

‘Why did she not attack me? Is she already aware that Iadre is Noel?’ Anna glanced to the side. Although she was curious about the reason, she had to focus on the matter at hand.

They had been suppressing a Spirit Master this whole time, but as expected, it wouldn’t be that easy to kill him.

It was true that the Spirit Master couldn’t use any big move due to the constant attack. He simply had no time to gather his energy. But the same could be said for Noel and Anna. Although they had time in the transition, it was only enough to close the gap between Spirit Master and Spirit Wielder.

So, they were still finding a way to kill the enemy.

Noel seemed to have found an idea. They had injured this Spirit Master, and Anna even cut his fingers. This was something they could take advantage of.

Since only Anna and Rose were aware of his identity and no one else knew about Noel’s abilities, Noel started to get serious.

He jumped toward the Spirit Master while revolving his Spiritual Energy.

The enemy did the same, planning to stop Noel with the same amount of Spiritual Energy.

However, the energy around Noel’s sword suddenly changed its characteristics.

“!!!” The Spirit Master noticed it and muttered inwardly, ‘What? That Spiritual Energy is changing from mild to… very sharp energy?’

He hurriedly held the sword with both hands as he struck Noel’s sword.

*Clink!*

To everyone’s surprise, the one who got pushed back this time was actually the Spirit Master.

“What?!” The guy was shocked as his hands felt a bit numb. The strike was different from any attack he had received. It was sharp to the point he could feel his sword getting sliced.

Luckily, his weapon had been blessed with a Spirit Enchantment, so it wasn’t that easy to cut it. Still, Noel’s threat level had risen exponentially after releasing that strength.

This was Noel’s Everchanging Emotion Sword Style that emphasized anger. Noel believed he could cut the sword down after a few strikes on the same spot. That was why Noel continued to swing his blade, trying to hit the sword as many times as possible.

The Spirit Master noticed how dangerous it would become to clash swords with Noel. At the same time, Anna seemed to be approaching from behind.

So, he stomped the ground, gathering all that energy in his lower body to jump to the side. His movement was so fast that Anna and Noel were late for a second. It seemed that the Spirit Master was risking his life to get all that energy.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t the only Spirit Master around. There was still Rose, who still had enough power left to help Noel and Anna.

The Spirit Master glanced at Noel and Anna when he was moving away. He planned to use this momentum to overrun them. Or at the very least, creating an opportunity when Anna tried to catch up using her lightning.

But he suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure in front of him. He felt he would die if he didn’t duck down.

There shouldn’t be anyone that would be able to kill him, yet, his instinct rarely went wrong.

The Spirit Master turned his head around, only to find a blade swinging at him.

“!!!” The Spirit Master hurriedly ducked down as the blade felt like it was cutting his hair.

But the sudden duck caused him to stumble to the ground, rolling a few times. He lost his momentum and the pair could catch up to him anytime.

The Spirit Master tried to go up as soon as possible, raising his stance. But he soon noticed the person who had swung that blade earlier.

It was actually not a person. Instead, it was a humanoid figure without any human features like hair, eyes, nose, and so on. It was a kind of shadow that came alive instead.

And that shadow swung the blade, scaring him.

As soon as they looked at each other, the shadow suddenly disappeared into thin air, showing the enemy that it was nothing but an illusion.

The guy widened his eyes in shock, noticing whose energy summoned that humanoid. It was none other than Rose.

He wanted to curse Rose, but Anna and Noel had arrived, swinging their swords at the same time. Anna aimed for his neck, while Noel wanted to split him in half.

The guy gritted his teeth while holding the sword with both hands. He didn’t have any more momentum to block this, so he had to receive it and might get injured because of it.

*Clink!*

Anna’s sword hit first, discharging a little electricity that numbed the Spirit Master’s hands.

The Spirit Master gritted his teeth. Of course, he was happy he could stop Anna’s attack, but when he raised his head, he saw another blade coming.

Noel’s sword struck the back of Anna’s blade, giving a push needed to break through the Spirit Master’s defense.

“Kh!” The guy tried to hold it back but to no avail. After all, Noel was using the Disgust to turn his blade into a blunt bat.

The Spirit Master’s sword instantly moved toward himself as if it was trying to cut its owner down. He had no choice but to abandon his sword and throw his body to the right, resulting in his left arm being cut down by the sword’s momentum.

Unfortunately, they could only claim his left arm as Anna tried to stop the momentum and stabilize her posture. Noel, on the other hand, retracted his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to regain his bearing.

He recovered first and tried to attack the Spirit Master.

As if knowing the two would attack him right after, the Spirit Master kicked his own blade into the air and grabbed it with his right hand, swinging it toward Noel.

Their swords collided again. As expected from a Spirit Master, it wouldn’t go down easily.

Noel clicked his tongue since he couldn’t take down a Spirit Master with that attack. Still, he applied his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to the fullest as he began to overwhelm the Spirit Master, who could only exert a portion of his strength.

“Haaa!!!”
