Chapter 144 Anna's Hidden Strength?

"This is not good. They'll be surrounded by the demons and die in that place." The knight captain still watched over Noel and Anna because he was worried that they didn't have the strength to put a fight against the demons.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bj'n.

And his worst fear came when numerous demons emerged from the forest, causing them to be pincered.

"How do we help them? We can't open the city gate and even if we can reach them, they might have died" The knight captain gritted his teeth, trying to come up with a solution.

However, he would be shocked once again when Noel and Anna revealed their true ability.

Meanwhile, Noel and Anna were discussing about their plan in escaping from this place.

"Can you use the Duplication Rune again?" Noel asked. They were already too late to avoid the clash by going to the side. And if they didn't do anything, they would be overwhelmed and surrounded.

Even if they had the ability to take down many Demons at once, they couldn't defeat all one hundred Demons, especially with at least ten of them being Mid Level Demon.

"No. It takes me at least ten seconds to prepare that rune." Anna shook her head. She took a deep breath and said, "Well, if that's the case, we can only break through them, right?"

"That's the only way, but"

Anna smirked and said, "I'll take the front. You support me. I'm going to release everything I have right now."

"Huh?" Noel was confused, but seeing Anna's serious face, he fell silent and slowed down his pace to run behind her. At the same time, he opened his System and exchanged for some Skill Points.

With his 82 Honor Points, he could exchange 41 Skill Points. The only way for them to escape from this was an overwhelming strength, so he had to support her.

Of course, he had planned to raise their level this whole time, so Noel raised Increase Agility Rune and Strength Blessing Rune to the maximum, costing a total 14 Skill Points.

Noel then utilized these two runes to support Anna.

"!!!" Anna could feel the great increase in strength and agility. It was different compared to the increase she felt when they were about to enter the city. She glanced at Noel in shock, thinking, 'What did he do to be able to increase his power drastically?'

Unfortunately, she couldn't receive that answer because they had something to do.

Anna took a deep breath.

'Kill!'

'Kill!'

'KILL!'

A scream kept echoing inside her head as if it was trying to drive her to the madness.

'Ha It's been a while. Thunder Berserker Spirit, I am going to use your strength for the first time.' Anna smirked as her gaze became extremely cold.

Even Noel felt the different atmosphere around Anna, making his body tremble.

Suddenly, lightning started sparking around her. The spark was different than anything that she had released in the past.

The lightning was more ferocious and ruthless. The spark came from all over her body.

"Sword D'Dantalian." She muttered while summoning a lightning sword in front of her. This was the sword she always summoned to blow things up.

And she sent this sword forward to create a path for them.

Noel reminded her, "We need speed if we want to break through."

"Don't worry." Anna's tone was cold and contained killing intent as if she had experienced a great change.

The lightning sword finally reached the demon and caused a huge explosion. The power was at least twice of her usual ability and it even let out a spark in all directions.

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. 'This is not the usual her. The power was far stronger than what I have seen this whole time. And that spark the spark went to all direction with the lightning cutting those demons down instead of electrocuting them.'

But what shocked him the most was the fact that the lightning sword didn't disappear after that explosion.

Anna grabbed the sword on the way and threw it again. The lightning flew like an arrow and pierced through multiple demons. It didn't cause any more explosions, but its lightning seemed to be powerful enough to pierce through four demons before it disappeared.

Obviously, now that they were surrounded by the demons, the ones running next to them wouldn't let them live. They hurriedly turned around and pounced on Anna. Two demons were far closer than the rest as they reached Anna from two sides.

Anna glanced to the sides, but a sword came and cut their necks, killing them.

It was Noel. As long as they kept up with their speed, not many demons would surround them, so he said, "Keep attacking. I'll protect you."

A grin appeared on Anna's face as she leaped forward while kicking the demon that she killed earlier.

The lightning sparked around her feet, causing a powerful shock wave that knocked the demon's body away.

The corpse crashed to other demons, restricting their movements.

'Completed a third, need to kill at least 10 more demons.' Anna thought while moving in a zig-zag way to avoid the corpses that had fallen to the ground.

After that, she took out her own sword and channeled it with the lightning before swinging it down.

A crescent-shaped lightning flew forth, running through the ground and cutting everything on its way.

The demons in front of them tried to escape but didn't have enough time and ended up dying. Meanwhile, the demons at the back had more time than them and barely avoided it.

The path was to escape from them was completed, but the demons soon closed it again. They even took this opportunity to attack her from the sides again.

This time, there was even a volley of Spiritual Energy coming from the air. It seemed one of the Mid Level Demon released this ma.s.s of Spiritual Energy from the distance.

Anna took a peek at the attack but immediately retracted her gaze as if believing that Noel would protect her.

Like she predicted, a giant sword fell next to her and planted itself in the ground, protecting her from the lump of Spiritual Energy.

When it hit the sword, the latter stood tall, towering the attack and the shock wave it produced so that none of them reached Anna.

Anna couldn't help but smile. As she expected, she could focus on the offensive as long as Noel was on her back.

Despite the bridge called hatred between them, Noel and Anna worked together perfectly.

Even the knight captain dropped his jaw to the ground when he saw their performances.

"They are still Apprentice Knight in Demon Banner Army? They're already at the level of a full-fledged knight! And within this time, they should only train for four months What's wrong with this generation? How strong they will become after a whole year?"
