System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1129 Running Away

”Kh.” Anna bit her lips as if she were struggling to fight Yesley.

This was it. This was what he wanted to see. Yesley had always wanted to crush them like ants after getting all the humiliations from the two.

If not for them causing a lot of mess in his territory, Noel would have died. Even Anna should have died if not for her True Spirit Body in the past.

Just like the first time he crushed her, he was planning to kill Anna with a huge gap between their powers.

”Youʼre not stronger than me!” Anna shouted in anger. She launched herself into the sky once again, but this time, her lightning covered her entire body.

”Hmph!” Yesley harrumphed and waved his hand.

His spiritual energy clashed with Annaʼs lightning, producing a massive shock wave. Unlike the normal spiritual energy, Anna noticed that Yesleyʼs spiritual energy was much more sinister.

It wasnʼt the color of spiritual energy that Yesley had in the past.

”What is this power?” Anna frowned. ”Youʼre not supposed to have something like this in the past!”

”Hmph! You talk too much!” Yesley snorted and released more spiritual energy.

”Kh.” Anna was struggling to maintain her power output as Yesleyʼs power was gradually overwhelming her lightning. ”Haaaa!”

Anna released another burst, as if she were utilizing all her spiritual energy at once, matching up the power that Yesley had.

”Is this your best? Hahahaha. Youʼre so pathetic, Anna Stargaze!” Yesley laughed out loud as he simply released even more power, this time, the eruption was at least twice as much.

In just an instant, Yesleyʼs power crushed Annaʼs lightning and blasted her away.

”Gah!” Anna was screaming as if she were in pain. She was flying more than a hundred meters away before falling to the ground.

Unfortunately for her, Yesley had already caught up, not allowing her to escape.

”Lightning Transformation!” Anna stepped up her game, showing the same power that defeated Yesley in the past.

After that, she sheathed her sword and started pouring all her energy into the sword.

Yesley didnʼt even bother stopping her from accumulating all that energy. He was confident that he could block it. In fact, he wanted to challenge this attack once again and crush it. Anna would surely fall into despair when her strongest attack was stopped.

”Raging Lightning Strike!” Anna jumped into the air, drawing her blade at lightning speed.

”This is it!” Yesley grinned. He clasped his hands, forming a barrier purely with his spiritual energy. Ever since he lost his spirit, he couldnʼt utilize his own spirit abilities. However, he could still use the spiritual techniques.

This barrier was just a normal spiritual technique that formed a barrier.

But when Anna struck this ʼnormalʼ barrier, the sword couldnʼt actually slash through it.

The sword only managed to scratch the surface. The lightning then dispersed to shatter the barrier or hit anything behind it.

”Kh.” Anna looked frustrated that this attack couldnʼt actually penetrate this barrier.

”Hahaha. Youʼre so pathetic now, Anna Stargaze. With your power, youʼre not my match. Letʼs see, what am I going to do to you first? I can probably capture you to lure your husband in. No, Iʼll just let the crown prince and the soldiers play with you first. I canʼt help but wonder what kind of face your husband will have at that time.” Yesley looked even more excited.

”Haaaa!” Annaʼs energy erupted even further, as if showing her rage from this humiliation.

The lightning sparked in all directions as one of the sparks ended up hitting Yesleyʼs face, grazing its skin.

”!!!” Yesley looked surprised at first and touched the wound before chuckling. ”Hahaha. You use all this power just to graze me like this? Iʼll show you true power!”

Yesley waved his hand. ”Stone Palm!”

A big hand made of spiritual energy appeared, following the movement of Yesleyʼs palm.

Anna widened her eyes in shock, sliding her sword on the barrier and striking this palm to avoid getting hit directly.

However, the lightning was completely suppressed by the palm as the latter slapped her to the ground.

”Kh.” Anna was launched to the ground, forty meters away from him. She struggled to get up. When she managed to stand up, she was clutching her arm as if a bone were broken.

”Hahaha.” Yesley laughed, satisfied with the sight. ”Even your True Spirit Body wonʼt be able to do anything against me, Anna Stargaze. This is a strength that you wonʼt be able to attain for the rest of your life. Nevermind, itʼs not like you have a lot of time to live anymore, so of course, itʼs impossible to reach my level.”

”You…” Anna bit her lips. The difference in their power was clear. If this continued, Anna would be defeated sooner or later. It didnʼt seem that she could inflict serious damage on him as well.

”Where is Noel Ardagan? He should have gone with you. Where is he?” Yesley tried to find more information.

However, Anna simply smiled as if she had some plans in mind.

”Thereʼs no way Iʼm going to tell you!” Anna stomped the ground, releasing more spiritual energy as if she were about to attack Yesley.

”Itʼs useless to struggle!” Yesley harrumphed.

Before he could do anything, Anna actually turned around and ran away to a deeper part of the Zaecuria Kingdom, trying to use her fastest speed to get away.

”!!!” Yesley widened his eyes in shock. He was pleased that Anna ended up humiliating herself by running away. On the other hand, he couldnʼt let her escape.

Yesley used his fastest speed to catch up to him. As expected of a lightning user, she was extremely fast. It would be hard for Yesley to catch up to her, but even though it wasnʼt much, his speed was faster.

He should be able to catch up to her soon.

Unbeknownst to him, he had fallen into Annaʼs trap.

Anna could defeat him and the other person. While no one could know what happened in this place, they could become suspicious of them reaching the next rank.

Hence, Anna changed their plan a little bit. Instead of killing both of them, she only planned to defeat Yesley and let the other person go.

Of course, defeating Yesley directly would allow the other person to judge that her strength was much stronger than Yesleyʼs.

That was why Anna planned to involve another person to kill Yesley.
