System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1173: Anna vs Bear

”Raaa!” The bear roared at the top of its lungs. The energy inside his body went rampage.

When the bear stomped the ground, it unleashed an immeasurable strength, turning a field in the radius of 200 meters into a giant crater.

”I know, I know. You are getting stronger because of that, right? Iʼll do the same.” Anna smirked as she could finally unleash this new power at full force. ”Force Control!”

Annaʼs energy exploded in a similar way to the bear. Due to her size, her strength might not be a match against the bear, but the amount of energy coming from her body was much more explosive.

The bear tried to stomp Anna while the latter swung her sword.

The sword created a shock wave that rose up. Lightning sparked upon hit.

Meanwhile, the bear could feel that his foot was being fried by the lightning, but it endured the pain and continued with the stomp.

”Tsk. As expected, itʼs not enough, huh?” Anna clicked her tongue. She easily avoided the stomp, but the ground shook violently after that stomp. A huge crack expanded in all directions, one of them heading straight at her.

Anna used her speed to avoid it while approaching the bear.

The bear lowered its body again so that it could sweep Anna from the side. Its colossal paw bulldozed everything in its path.

The paw was actually scraping the top layer of earth. If it threw all of it, it would disrupt other battlefields.

”Lightning Prison!” Anna stabbed the ground with her sword.

Multiple lightning strikes hit the ground and remained static as if they froze and turned into pillars.

The lightning pillars were actually strong enough to stop the paw.

”!!!” The bear released another burst of energy to destroy it, but Anna had predicted it and appeared right in front of the paw.

She stabbed the bearʼs arm with all her momentum, her blade piercing through its tough skin. She remembered how Noel defeated the ancient demon spider and thought the same method would be effective against the bear.

By infusing the lightning element into her sword, she spread it to the bearʼs muscle.

”!!!” The bear gathered its energy in its mouth before roaring. ”Raaaa!”

”What?” The roar shot out a massive shock wave. Anna tried to hang on but to no avail. Just like the spider, the shock wave carried the bearʼs explosive energy. Several of them hit Anna in rapid succession, each one being heavier than the others.

As a result, Anna was launched into the air.

She thought flying up would just make her an easy target. Hence, she chose to land on the ground.

As if predicting Annaʼs movement, the bear slammed the ground with both paws.

Mountains of rocks suddenly emerged from the ground and shattered, turning into projectiles.

Anna covered her front with a barrier made of spiritual energy, but somehow the barrier cracked after getting hit by the bearʼs explosive energy. After that, a huge boulder came at high speed.

”Oh…” Anna couldnʼt do anything other than let the huge boulder crash into her, pushing her for more than a hundred meters away.

The bear didnʼt stop here. It immediately chased after Anna, not letting her have the chance to recover.

Right before the bear could reach her, multiple flashes appeared on the boulder before it suddenly shattered into pieces as if it had been cut.

There was Anna behind the boulder, blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth.

”I see.” Anna smiled. Her blond hair turned white as lightning was rampaging around her.

”!!!” The bear tried to stop, but it was too late. The bear chose to swipe its paw, but Anna was faster. In an instant, she reached the bearʼs body, avoiding the paw by a large margin.

”Lightning Lord Sword.”

A trace of lightning flashed from the bearʼs left stomach all the way to its shoulder.

After that, the lightning exploded, shattering the skin. Blood spurted like a fountain.

”Tsk. Even with Lightning Transformation as well as Force Control, itʼs not enough to cut the bearʼs arm. My raging slash has even evolved to Lightning Lord Sword thanks to Old Ruʼs circulation method.

”I can only chip away its strength bit by bit, I guess. Noelʼs Divine Slash is just that powerful. If I want to use my True Spirit Body, I have to wait until the demon goes berserk.”

Anna muttered with a solemn expression. However, she suddenly remembered something. ”Ah. Now that I think about it, I have something else to try. Maybe I can end this battle without using my True Spirit Body… This way, I can continue fighting on the second ancient demon.”

Anna headed toward the bear.

The bear realized that her speed had already surpassed what he could handle. She put everything she had to increase it, and the moment she slipped past its defense, a trace of the sword appeared from the right chest to the stomach.

The blood that had been gushing out of the bearʼs body was not small.

The bear managed to push her away, but Anna showed no sign of stopping. If this continued, the bear would definitely lose.

As if realizing that outcome, the bearʼs energy vanished. Suddenly, the blood turned into mist and shrouded the bear.

”Raaaa!” The bear let out a deafening roar. Its eyes turned bloodshot as the energy started to turn red as if it were being affected by the blood.

The explosiveness of its energy had increased by three times. Even the elders couldnʼt really ignore this kind of power.

They were thinking about helping Anna, but instead of panicking, a grin appeared on her face.

”I have been waiting for you to use that.” Her entire body started glowing. Her spirit mark released some sort of pattern and spread it on her body. Her legs and arms had lined up and were completely filled with immense spiritual energy. There were two lightning patterns that ran from her cheeks to her forehead. ”This is the power that the Spirit God bestowed on me.”

”Thunder Godʼs Possession, Heaven Wrath, First Form!”
