System vs Rebirth-Novel

"Kirika. Watch out!" Lokhtar, the bald guy, shouted.

Kirika widened her eyes and turned around, swinging her sword to the right.

*Clink!*

The clicking sound symbolized the clash between her sword with another hard surface. When her body finished turning around, she found a mole jumping out of the ground and almost struck her with its claw if not for her blade.

"Kh." Kirika gritted her teeth.

There wasn't only one mole demon, but multiple of them. They started coming out of the ground with only their heads out as if peeking at their group.

"This is… There are fifteen demons around us." Samuel Quartzal informed while taking a deep breath, not knowing whether he could defeat all these demons or not. The number was simply too overwhelming.

They had been fighting this whole time, so they were already quite exhausted. They thought about killing a few more demons before retreating to a safer area to rest, but they ended up getting surrounded by the demons.

Kirika gritted her teeth while glaring at these demons. She couldn't help but recall what Anna said a week ago. "Sorry, you're not strong enough."

Kirika steeled her resolve and stepped forward. "I'll open up a path!"

"Wait, Kirika. Don't—" Misha Quartzal wanted to warn her, but it was too late.

Her stepping forward was a kind of aggression to these demons, so they immediately made their move by jumping out of the grounds, swarming them.

The people's hearts skipped a beat as they panicked, wondering how they should get away from this.

"Lightning Dragon."

Suddenly, dragon-shaped lightning appeared and struck all these demons in rapid succession. All the demons were electrocuted, and smoke started coming out of their bodies as if they were perfectly cooked inside.

The lightning dragon stopped and started swirling around as if watching the entire group. At the same time, Anna landed on the ground while looking around, confirming there were no other demons in the area.

Her expression was calm as if these demons weren't her opponents anymore.

The menacing dragon scared them. Misha Quartzal gulped down as she wondered whether this dragon would kill her anymore.

Meanwhile, Samuel Quartzal was trembling, never expecting that Anna was this strong. Not only was her status very high as Marquis Stargaze's only child, but her strength was also the strongest among her peers. This was Anna Stargaze.

Kirika fell on her butt as Anna actually landed in front of her. She could see Anna looking down on her as if paying back for the previous conflict.

"Miss Ann—" Samuel tried to call her, but Anna harrumphed and leaped away without saying a single thing.

However, everyone knew that Anna was indirectly implying they weren't strong enough to talk to her.

Kirika gritted her teeth. Although Anna didn't say anything, her gaze was telling her that she wasn't strong enough to do anything. And even if she still had a few more months to go before graduation.

They couldn't say anything because of the strength Anna showed them earlier. Anna completely destroyed the demons. No one would believe such a person was only fifteen years old.

However, it was too late for them as Anna had left them and they wouldn't even be able to catch up.

After passing the hill, Anna took a deep breath to think up her next course. "I have finally become a Spirit Wielder. Noel hasn't reached this level yet, so I've regained the upper hand. But who knows, Noel is an absurd guy who can somehow keep up with me.

"Anyway, I have to go to the Sword Saint Tomb now since Noel will reach that place in a few weeks. I don't know about the details, but Noel should get something special from this tomb… I wonder if I should go with him right now… but I made him go to the tomb a year earlier.

"What kind of change will it have to the current situation?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows. Even if she tried her hardest, the answer wouldn't come to her mind unless she experienced it herself.

So, she immediately headed to the nearest city to get a horse before heading to the town next to the Sword Saint Tomb.

Her action in getting all those Demon Crystals this time truly affected people's fate.

A few weeks later, a guy walked to the cave and found out that the Demon Crystals had been absorbed completely, leaving only an empty shell. Although the spider corpses and the crushed eggs weren't there, it was impossible to get rid of all the evidence, especially the melting ground from the poison.

The mysterious guy furrowed his eyebrows while touching the ground, realizing there was actually someone coming to this place.

"Kh… Who… Who was the one entering this cave?" The mysterious guy shouted in anger. "I had been storing all the Demon Crystals I had this whole time without raising anyone's suspicion. I had even put a demon to guard this place. Yet, there was a thief who stole everything from me?

"Who is it? I'll kill whoever gets all these crystals. I'll do whatever I can do to catch and torture them for the rest of their lives." The guy roared.

Meanwhile, Anna was riding her horse pretty slowly since she was already near her destination.

"Mhm…" Anna furrowed her eyebrows. "Is it because I have been traveling far too long that my body is so dirty that I have the urge to scratch all over my body… Well, I can wash my body since the city shouldn't be too far from here. This life is truly good. Noel and I have been improving far faster than in our previous life… by the time my master… I mean, that witch found me and the third prince found Noel, we would have become far stronger than they expected…

"With that, they couldn't kill us anymore. This time, we both are going to live. Though, how do I convince Noel to not trust the third prince?" Anna let out a long sigh before the city finally came into her vision. "There is some time, so I'll think about it along the way."
