Roar!
Roar!
The demons let out their last roars before falling to the ground. Their bodies had been sliced by a sword strike, which ultimately split them into two.
The one who did it was standing before them, sheathing her sword.
Anna took a deep breath and said, "The enemies have beca lot easier to kill."
"Of course. You're not getting bored because of that, right?" Noel gave a wry smile.
"Not really. I mean, there is still an opponent like that spider. Even if we have found this transcendent path, it doesn't seem like it's just a single path. It has a lot of branches, and we might have to choose which one to master."
"Indeed. For now, let's discover everything and test them. We'll master one thing at a time. At the very least, we can advance to the Spirit Transcendence stage with this power. All we need now is…" Noel looked at the demons.
"The demon crystals, huh? What is your current progress? Are you about to reach Spirit Transcendence?"
"I'm not sure. It's very close to full, but I can't sense how much more I need." Noel shook his head.
"Since you don't have Ardagan right now, you have to be the first one to becSpirit Transcendence. It'll becmuch safer even forwhen it's my turn to advance to that level."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I know." Noel fell into deep thought.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, I'm just thinking that we have gotten the transcendent path as well as the Rune Card in this trip. There are a lot of things to process. And if you consider the fact that we'll becSpirit Transcendence experts once we return, this trip is very fulfilling."
"That's true. We can somehow hide our power so that we look like a Spirit Grandmaster, but it won't last long." Anna nodded in agreement, knowing the problem.
"Yeah. I also expect that… Having two Spirit Transcendences in the north breaks the delicate balance of the kingdom. They will definitely try their best to grasp our power or use the SuprDevil Organization to boost their own power." Noel let out a long sigh.
"You will be buried with a mountain of work like deployment, strategic battle, and so on. I'll help, but unfortunately, my current level is still not on the slevel as yours." Anna fell silent for a moment before saying, "Noel… is it possible for the kingdom to use another marriage trick?"
"Mhmm? Are you doubtingthat I will go for another woman?"
"No. I'm not talking about that." Anna shook her head helplessly. "What if they're using a dirty trick so that you will end up conceiving a child?"
"Huh?" Noel's expression turned serious. He wanted to rebuke her right away, but he couldn't because he understood what she was talking about. They could use all kinds of tricks, from temptation, alcohol, or even drugs, to somehow make him sleep with a woman.
While he had sassurance that such a thing would never happen, the chance was still there. The biggest problem was that his family bloodline only gave him a single child.
If the royal family had figured that out, it wouldn't be weird for them to use that trick. It was why Anna looked anxious.
Still, he had promised her not to do that for various reasons.
"Are you talking about…" Noel stopped, seeing Anna's serious expression.
"I've been thinking about it. In any case, I'll soon beca Spirit Transcendence and you will soon have a lot of work that you won't have tto even practice. I think it's worth the shot. I mean, we both are already pretty old. We turned 24 years old a month ago and most people conceived their first child at the age of 16 to 17."
Noel fell silent for a moment. This was indeed not an easy decision. Anna must be thinking about this seriously because of what happened not long ago. What if he died again?
"Well, there are other forms of training aside from physical training…" Noel let out a long sigh.
"Then…" Anna's expression brightened as her eyes were filled with expectations.
"For now, we'll be very busy with things such as the auction, the beast kingdom, and even the expedition. But after that…" Noel paused.
The hint was as clear as the day. Anna clenched her fists. "I understand."
"In that case, we'll have to ask Duke Briton so that the expedition can happen as quickly as possible. You have to work even harder from now on, you know." Noel smiled.
"Yes!" Anna's smile beceven bigger.
"I just hope that there aren't a lot of nobles that are trying to immediately give birth to a daughter after hearing the news. After all, the main city is already open to the public at that tand people will find out about it." Noel let out a long sigh.
"Ahahaha. You're talking about an arranged marriage?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah. In any case, I don't like placing that kind of expectation."
"I don't really mind." Anna chuckled."Anyway, we shouldn't talk about this. If we don't hurry up, we might end up taking too long to have another match against that spider." Noel stood up.
"Indeed." Anna nodded. "By the way, what's the condition of the city? Dimitri has given you the report, right?"
"Don't worry. The city is performing much better than our original expectations. We don't know the result since the winter will last for another month, but we should get a pretty good result."
"That's a relief then." Anna felt like all the burdens in her heart had been lifted completely. Hence, she could focus on reaching the Spirit Transcendence.
Noel only smiled and started moving again, killing as many demons as possible.
It took them a few more days, but Noel had finally filled up all 17:28
his energy reserves required to advance to the Spirit Transcendence.
Obviously, Noel chose a plain field so that it would be easy to spot all the incoming beasts.
Anna was standing next to him to protect him against all harm.
However, Noel didn't know about one thing. Advancing to the Spirit Transcendence was much crazier than all the breakthroughs he had experienced. And that would bring him yet another problem.
