System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1128 Ambush

?"Thank you very much. Please continue, and I wish you a pleasant trip, Marquis Noel and Lady Anna." The captain on the border politely bowed as Noel and Anna took off into the distance.

The soldiers couldn't help but look at this weird 'carriage' they were driving.

"Woah? Is that the legendary Marquis Noel Ardagan?"

"Lady Anna Stargaze is also beautiful."

"More importantly, what is that carriage? Is that the rumored rune technology that we've heard about? It's so fast!"

"Yes. The speed alone seems to be at least two times that of riding a horse and more than three times that of a normal carriage at full speed."

"That's amazing."

The soldiers were astonished, but their admiration was short-lived as the car gradually disappeared into the horizon.

However, they were not the only ones watching the car. There were two people standing in the distance.

"Remember, Yesley. I'm here only to observe the situation and report it back. If you end up failing the task, the kingdom will completely cut ties with you, blaming everything on you."

"I know. Who cares about that? I won't fail. My power surpasses that of a spirit grandmaster." Yesley harrumphed. "You just have to stay far away from me and see their demise. I will personally kill them in the most brutal way possible."

"So be it. We will have to wait a bit longer until they get a bit deeper into the Zaecuria Kingdom's territory. You have to cause a lot of destruction as well. This is a warning to the Zaecuria Kingdom. If they aren't going to stop, they will be destroyed by our kingdom's military might."

"Hmph." Yesley snorted. He knew that it wasn't the only thing they had in mind. However, he wasn't a noble anymore, so he couldn't care less about their intentions as long as he could get his revenge.

"Just remember your orders, and I won't do anything. Let's go."

The two disappeared, chasing after Noel and Anna.

Meanwhile, Noel and Anna frowned. Anna said, "It seems that the trip won't be as peaceful as we originally thought. The danger I feel from them has surpassed that of a spirit grandmaster."

Noel nodded. He didn't have her instinct, so he couldn't sense that far. But that was fine. "There is no change in our plan. You continue to our original destination, as I will handle another matter in the Atracaeca Kingdom."

"For what reason do they attack us here?"

"It's probably a warning to us. I don't know how they're able to bring out such powerful people, but they're trying to probe us. Still, we'll be using the Zaecuria Kingdom to hide our power. Will that be fine?"

"Yep. I'm not confident in bringing this car in one piece, but defeating them shouldn't be that hard with my current level."

Noel nodded with a serious expression. "In that case, I will leave them to you." He opened the door and jumped off the car, using his fastest speed to cross the border and head to the Atracaeca Kingdom.

He was near this area when he was chased by the Supreme Devil Organization, so he knew the spot where he could enter the Atracaeca Kingdom without getting noticed.

Anna continued driving, knowing what Noel was planning to do. She had to focus on taking care of the problem here.

'The royal family seems to be planning to stop the cooperation between us and the Zaecuria Kingdom. Then again, they don't realize that the agreement is simply too good for the Zaecuria Kingdom to pass.

'Besides, this is getting trickier. The fact that they have surpassed the spirit grandmaster means they are truly aiming to reach the next level with whatever method.

'The Supreme Devil Organization must have been involved in this matter. If this is the case, they might create more of those 'superhumans.' We may need to modify our original plan if Felicia and the others are unable to defeat them.

'Was this the reason for Noel choosing to turn back time? Did he fight with these new superhumans and notice that he couldn't beat them in the current situation, especially with the incoming demon king?'

Anna couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. Even if Noel somehow managed to reach Spirit Transcendence, it wasn't enough to contend against the demon king. It was probably because these superhumans had been slowing down his progress so that he didn't have enough time to become a spirit king.

'I see. If that's the case, we probably need more people, especially spirit grandmasters. From what I can feel, they're above spirit grandmasters, but they haven't reached the spirit transcendence rank yet. If that's the case, we can still close the gap with rune cards or rune body. So that's how it is…'

Anna couldn't help but smile as if she had confirmed what she should do next.

As expected, these two people were following her at a certain distance. It didn't take too long for her to find a city.

She just passed through this city since she had no business in it. However, this city was the most important point for both Anna and the two chasing her.

The two would think that Anna didn't notice them after coming this far. After all, if someone truly chased after her, the city would notice it.

After driving for another hour and reaching a desolate place with the closest city being more than one hundred kilometers away, the two finally decided to take action.

Anna was driving normally before she suddenly noticed a fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from above.

"!!!" Anna hurriedly opened the door and jumped off the car, rolling a few times on the ground.

Bam!

The car was crushed by a burst of energy coming from above.

"Who?!" Anna shouted, acting clueless. She raised her head, finding a figure levitating in the air with his spiritual energy alone.

It was Yesley.

"You've taken everything from me. It's time for me to take everything from you, Anna Stargaze."

"Count Heirden?" Anna looked shocked.

Yesley glanced to the side, not finding Noel. "Where is he? No. I don't care about him. I can simply kill you here and lure him out."

"I defeated you two years ago. After two years, I've become even stronger. Do you think you're capable of doing so?" Anna snorted and jumped into the sky.

However, the latter simply pointed his palm at her.

"!!!" Anna suddenly felt a powerful impact from the spiritual energy. "Gah!" She was launched back to the ground.

"Your power is now inconsequential compared to mine." Yesley harrumphed. He was gradually decreasing his altitude so that he could see Anna's face filled with despair.

"What is that power?" Anna clutched her chest as if she were still feeling the impact.

"The only thing you need to know is that this power will be enough to kill you. Don't worry. Anna Stargaze… I won't let you die so easily. You and your husband will experience something even worse than death." Yesley snorted.

"You… You…" Anna gritted her teeth. Her body was shaking as if Yesley's new ability was too much for her to handle. However, Anna couldn't help but continue her words inwardly, 'You… fool.'
