System vs Rebirth

“What is going on?!”

“The tentacles are so big!”

The sailors were panicking. The first one to act was not Anna or Noel. Instead, it was a spirit grandmaster that had been waiting for his chance.

Since there were tentacles all around the ship, as long as he could cut them down, he would contribute a lot.

He leaped into the air and waved his blade, releasing a sword strike flying in a straight path.

“Oh! It’s Lord Abel!”

“Our spirit grandmaster is here!”

The sailors were cheering, believing that the enemies would have to pull back.

However, that cheer soon turned to panic as the tentacle grabbed this sword strike and crushed it as though it had a physical body.

“!!!” The sailors and even the spirit grandmaster were shocked.

“How?”

“Why is the tentacle able to crush that attack?”

“Is it not a Superior Demon?”

“What? To be able to crush such a thing, it’s beyond a Superior Demon.”

“Don’t tell me, it’s an Ancient Demon?”

The realization caused the people’s hearts to sink. They were so unlucky to fight an ancient demon. Because Noel and Anna hadn’t publicized their true strength, no one thought they could escape from the ancient demon.

“Impossible. Everything has been going so smoothly this whole time, but we have to end up encountering an Ancient Demon.”

“This is impossible.”

“No!”

“Our journey has failed.”

As the people started to sink into despair, the tentacles struck the barrier, which stopped the ship and caused it to tremble violently.

The people had accepted they would die from this expedition until two people appeared.

“Thunder God’s Possession, Heaven Wrath!” A flash of lightning suddenly circled around the enemy, cutting the tentacles.

It didn’t cut through the tentacles, but it definitely left a huge wound on it. In addition, the lightning spark blew away the tentacles, freeing the tentacle.

Before it went back into the water, Noel’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“Ice Wave!”

A wave of chilling energy flew in all directions like a circle, passing and freezing the tentacles.

A thunderous roar echoed from within the sea as the tentacles fell into the water.

“!!!” The people couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

“Did we just repel the tentacles of an ancient demon?”

“Who did it?”

Everyone was looking around, finding only one single person. “That’s… That’s the two esteemed guests, Marquis Noel Ardagan and his wife, Anna Stargaze!”

“Were they the ones who did it?”

“What? They managed to injure the Ancient Demon?” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“Don’t tell me. They have reached the spirit transcendence?”

Both of them didn’t say anything to them. Instead, Noel said, “The admiral said that it needs both of us using our full power if we want to take down a berserk Ancient Demon. However, there’s something I’d like to try.”

“Are you going to bypass that gap with the True Spirit Body?”

“Yes. However, you will help me to ensure the success. I don’t want to underestimate this demon, especially since we can’t afford to have the ship damaged.”

“Alright!” Anna nodded.

Noel smiled. “Admiral. We’ll take care of the Ancient Demon. But according to the agreement…”

“Of course, everything will be yours.” The admiral confirmed it without hesitation.

“Alright then.” Noel and Anna leaped into the sea. Before they reached the water surface, Noel waved his hand. “Frozen Domain.”

A freezing mist appeared around Clovis and spread in all directions, freezing the sea. As expected, the ship would also stop, but they had to kill the demon first before they could leave, so it didn’t really matter.

Everyone dropped their jaws to the floor.

“What?”

“He froze the sea? It was so wide as well.”

“Are they truly spirit transcendences?”

The people were trembling both in fear and excitement.

To ensure people’s hearts and raise their morale, Noel immediately activated his True Spirit Body.

A pair of ice wings appeared on his back as the crown made him look like the king of ice.

The burst of spiritual energy made people want to fall on their knees and worship him.

Amidst their confusion, the admiral shouted, “That’s right. Marquis Noel Ardagan and his wife, Madam Anna Stargaze, are at spirit transcendence rank. They will be the ones taking care of that ancient demon. Discover stories with

“However, all of you must have known the danger of the sea. That’s why we have to fight. We have to make sure that both of them can fight the octopus without worry.

“Do you understand?” The admiral asked out loud.

The people ground their teeth and clenched their fists. They knew what the admiral was trying to say.

“We will kill all the demons so that they won’t be able to help that Ancient Demon. We can’t let the outsiders do everything for us! We are the proud warriors of the Zaecuria Kingdom.

“All troops! Prepare to lay down your life. Today, we will be hunting an Ancient Demon!”

“Uooohhh!” The cheers erupted. Their morale was high and the spiritual energy burst subconsciously from their bodies.

They raised their weapons. Even those who were maintaining the ship’s movements had taken up their arms since the ship wouldn’t need to move.

Everyone went to their stations.

“Kill them!”

Upon the admiral’s command, they leaped off the boat and started taking down one demon after another. The rune weapons were running at full force.

They were fighting the demons like beasts, showing an intensity far greater than the demons.

It even piqued Noel’s interest.

“You can do that too to our people, raising morale and stuff,” said Anna, remembering the time Noel did it in the battle against the Supreme Devil Organization.

“No. I just understand what kind of power the admiral possesses to be as rare as the guardians. They are not only strong but also a good commander that can inspire their warriors.”

“Indeed. In that case, we only have one thing to do here.” Anna nodded.

“Yeah.” As Noel said that word, the tentacles broke through the ice, encircling Noel and Anna. He simply smiled while raising his sword. “Octopus is supposed to be delicious, right?”
