System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1640: Everchanging Sword Style, Violent Anger

Clink!

Clang!

Two blades continued to clash in rapid succession. The battle was unlike anything that anyone had ever seen before.

Even the surrounding demons were having a hard time interfering with all that power contained in every strike.

"Kh…" The Supreme Devil gritted his teeth. He had been fighting Anna for a while, but he failed to gain an advantage the whole time.

Anna felt the same. She had done her best, but it was definitely hard for her to fight the Supreme Devil.

Although Anna hadn't used her True Spirit Body yet, she had activated the Thunder God Possession to the very limit. With the Lightning Transformation, she was supposed to be in her second-best form, aside from the True Spirit Body.

On the other hand, the Supreme Devil was experiencing the same thing. He had fought her with everything he'd got, except for the berserk state of a demon.

He had utilized his king path, which was something he gained from being human. That was a power that even the Land Demon King sincerely wanted.

Yet, it was still not enough against Anna. Still, even though they hadn't shown their best, their battle had simply destroyed the entire area.

Craters were everywhere within a two-kilometer radius. Corpses were everywhere due to their residual powers.

"Ha… Ha…" Anna panted slightly.

The original Anna was quite annoyed as well. "This is going nowhere."

"I know that." Anna was also concerned about this situation.

What they didn't know was the fact that the Supreme Devil was fuming crazily.

'What's going on? I have the king path as well as the power of a demon king. How am I still unable to defeat her?'

The Supreme Devil couldn't figure out Anna's power. Objectively, he was supposed to have the upper hand in this battle.

He had the king path, the power of a demon king, and sword mastery.

On the other hand, Anna only possessed sword mastery as well as the king path. It was true that she had Lightning Transformation, but his power had been enhanced by demonic energy.

So, it should be equal to her. But the Supreme Devil's physique had been enhanced like that of a demon. He should possess much higher raw physical strength compared to Anna's.

That was why he thought he had the advantage.

What he didn't know was that he was facing two Annas, not one. Anna used her ability, as it had been honed by her experience and training. Meanwhile, the original Anna would refine that power accordingly.

She was responsible for infusing the attack with violent lightning or gentle lightning. By changing the spiritual energy on each attack, she could raise Anna's strength to another level.

In addition, both of them were using the method that had been given by the Beast Kingdom, which empowered them even further.

It was thanks to all this that she managed to keep up with the Supreme Devil.

Still, as expected, defeating the Supreme Devil was not easy. The Supreme Devil had one thousand years' worth of experience under his belt.

His desire to become a spirit king was so strong that he betrayed his master and persisted for one thousand years.

That was why it could be said that his sword was much sharper than Anna's.

Anna could only bypass that gap with the Rune Body. It had all the advanced runes she needed to boost her power.

She had only used the support-type runes to enhance her power, but it looked like she had to step up her game further.

"Anna. We might have to use that," Anna asked the original Anna.

"Do you mean the attack runes?" The original Anna was quite surprised by her choice. But there was indeed nothing that could break this stalemate.

If they took too long, they wouldn't know what would happen next. If they activated the True Spirit Body right away, the Supreme Devil might try to stall for time using the numerous demons.

As a result, Anna had to use the True Spirit Body only after the Supreme Devil activated his berserk.

"…" Anna's expression turned solemn. "We have no other choice. We have to force the Supreme Devil to go berserk. Uncle Laufey has done a great job in stopping the ancient demons, so we have to do everything we can."

"Actually, I think I can provide you with a better solution." The original Anna paused for a moment. "Don't you know that I'm better at controlling lightning than you?"

"Well, that's true." Anna couldn't refute it. The original Anna couldn't train with a sword because she possessed her body. So, the original Anna could only do one thing, which was the element.

That was why the original Anna was thinking about something a bit more absurd. "How about allowing me to control your element? You have to handle the sword part entirely, while I handle the element part entirely. This means we will have two ways of fighting, which will confuse him."

"!!!" This whole time, Anna had been fighting by combining both her sword and lightning.

If she completely erased the lightning part from her sword, she had to compensate for it in another way to unleash the same amount of power.

But if this trick worked, the Supreme Devil would be taken aback by a stronger lightning output.

The original Anna and Anna were thinking about the same thing. There was one person that could make it possible.

Noel.

That was right. In terms of swordsmanship, Noel and Duke Lorelei were on par. Both of them had reached the peak of swordsmanship.

What the original Anna wanted was to use Noel's swordsmanship to compensate for the lack of lightning.

It was going to take a toll on her, but it might actually work.

"I think it's worth a try," Anna agreed.

"Then let's go." The original Anna smirked.

Anna took a deep breath and leaped toward the Supreme Devil.

The Supreme Devil swung down his sword, while Anna stomped the ground and shifted the way she held the blade slightly.

"Everchanging Sword Style. Violent Anger."
