?"Surrender Anna Stargaze. We won't treat you badly, at least until we get your fiance."

Anna looked at Dimitri's situation before turning back, looking at the incoming demons. They would be attacked from two different directions by at least two thousand demons. Even with the strength of the soldiers, it would be hard for them to kill these demons alone.

As the Devil Saint said, resistance was futile.

"I know that this is a trap already. There is no way that you are leaving your post so easily without any plans in mind."

"Young lady Anna…" One of the Spirit Masters came to her, preparing for the worst. He wanted to advise her to leave the battlefield as they had opened a path for her.

Anna waved her hand as if this matter were still salvageable.

But because of that rejection, reinforcement had arrived. They stopped right before them, showing how obedient the demons could get.

There was only one reason why Laufey stopped the demons.

"Anna Stargaze. It's better if you give up now. You might even be treated gently if you don't put up any resistance as well as tell me everything about the Ardagan Family." Laufey looked down on her from on top of the demon.

Anna couldn't help but smirk. "Laufey Ardagan, the uncle of my fiance… To think that you would betray the Ardagan Family in the past."

"Ardagan? I have long abandoned that name. No, should I say that I have never belonged to the Ardagan Family?" Laufey snorted. "If you think that you can buy some time by talking, it won't matter. We have completely sealed the exit. Unless Milfa uses her True Spirit Body, you won't be able to break through. And if she truly uses it, the Ardagan Family's doom is just a matter of time."

"You're talking big." Anna chuckled. "It seems that you don't know anything about the Ardagan Family."

Laufey couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.

"What do you want to ask me? The Ardagan Family's weapons and trump cards? Or are you going to ask me about your desire… about the secret information of the Ardagan Family…" Anna gave a subtle hint because it was Laufey who stole one of the secret books that the Ardagan Family had.

"!!!" Laufey widened his eyes in shock. As the future lady of the Ardagan Family, it would be obvious if Noel would tell Anna about some secret. However, he never thought that without a formal marriage or heir, Noel would dare tell her about those secrets. "Hurry up and tell me everything!"

Anna smirked before sticking out her tongue. "I don't want to. Why don't you force me to say it?"

"You—!" Laufey gritted his teeth and raised his right hand, signaling the demons to get ready to charge.

"You guys protect our rear. I will handle everyone here." Anna looked at Laufey with a serious expression. Her hair started flickering and changing color. The lightning began to spark all around her body.

"If you want it, why don't you try to get it from me?" Anna smirked, taunting Laufey.

"So be it! Attack!" Laufey shouted, ordering both the demons under his command and the ones on the opposite side.

"Lightning Transformation!" Anna shouted. The lightning erupted, shattering the earth around her.

"True Spirit Body? No, it should be the transformation she showed in the capital." Laufey waved down his hand. "Don't be afraid. It's not the True Spirit Body."

Looking at the incoming demons, Anna muttered with a smile, "Look at these demons… Don't you think it's time to show them who the boss is?"

Her sword responded as though there was a soul coming out of the sword with the same figure as Anna. "Of course. How many do you want to kill?"

"All of them." Anna raised her sword, activating the rune on the sword. "Sword. Drink my blood."

A rune on the blade activated as it suddenly produced a small spike on the handle, piercing Anna's palm. The rune was drinking Anna's blood and extracting the pure energy contained in every drop of blood.

Then, the blood gradually moved toward the blade and started turning the blade red. This was yet another rune, Conductor.

It was using the blood to coat the sword and conducting the ridiculous amount of energy contained within it.

Anna raised her sword before swinging it diagonally. "Extension."

"No!" Laufey noticed the rune and hurriedly stopped them. However, the Superior Demon was able to act faster since he was closer.

Anna swung the sword diagonally as the sword extended so far, cutting all the demons within range. They were currently charging at Anna, so they didn't put anything into their defense.

There wasn't a single demon that could stop the blade, especially because Anna increased the sword's power by using her own blood.

In just a single swing, she killed more than a hundred demons until the Superior Demon Tiger struck the blade with its claws before she managed to complete her swing.

Seeing that she couldn't continue the swing, she retracted the extension rune and used her speed to move toward the Superior Demon, trying to kill it first to lower their number.

However, Laufey appeared in front of her and struck her with his blade.

Anna activated yet another rune on her sword, the Burst Rune. With a single swing, the explosive spiritual energy was discharged from the sword.

*Boom!*

The contact of their blade caused that energy to explode, blasting Laufey several meters away.

"Kh… How can she be that strong?" Laufey gritted his teeth. Anna's strength was truly above his prediction. And she was still going toward the tiger.

Fortunately for them, the two Devil Saints weren't that foolish. As soon as they saw Anna dominating the battlefield, they decided to join the fight to suppress Anna instead of killing the elite soldiers.

They flanked Anna from left and right.

The first Devil Saint was a master of body transformation. When he was trying to attack Anna, his right arm turned into a bear paw and slammed her from above.

The other Devil Saint was using a spear, thrusting his weapon from a rather safe distance after seeing how Laufey was also overpowered by her.

Anna caught the bear's paw with her left hand, surprisingly not overpowered by the momentum and weight the bear's paw had.

"What?!" The Devil Saint was stunned. Even Laufey would have to block or avoid it when facing this paw, yet Anna could actually catch it completely. What kind of monster was she?

What she didn't know was that Anna had the power of two Spirit Hearts and Spirit Minds, allowing her to harness twice her original power. And the original soul also controlled Anna's spiritual energy to ensure that they didn't use an excessive amount of power.

There was no way she needed to be scared of this level of paw. For the spear user that attacked her from a distance, Anna simply waved her blade, unleashing her lightning which caused the Devil Saint to block it with the spear's handle. Even then, the power was still enough to push him back several meters.

"Don't let her charge the power in her scabbard. If it's unleashed, one of us is going to die!" Laufey shouted, remembering what kind of terrifying power Anna could unleash after sheathing her blade.

However, Anna actually tapped the ground with her shoe, forming a big rune on the soil.

"!!!" The three Devil Saints jumped away as soon as they saw the rune, while the Superior Demon was stuck, not knowing what the rune was for.

All of a sudden, streams of light came out of the runes and enveloped the elite soldiers, increasing their physical abilities. freewe bnovel.com

"This is…" One of them noticed immediately and shouted, "This is the rune to increase your physical abilities from the young lady. We can't disappoint her! Ardagan Family's soldiers, charge!"

"Oohhh!" The soldiers used this surge of strength to kill all the demons in front of them.

Laufey realized that their lack of knowledge about runes could be used to force them to back away. If it was an attack rune and they didn't retreat, they would definitely be devoured alive.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Anna smirked, taunting them. "To think that the Supreme Devil Organization, which is normally spreading fear, is actually a coward."

"You…" Laufey gritted his teeth. "Kill all of them. It doesn't matter if you have to cut a few of her limbs as long as she survives! You are simply clinging to Dimitri's ability. When his True Spirit Body wears out, you won't be able to do anything."

The demons surrounded Anna and the soldiers. The Devil Saints and the Superior Demon were ready to move again, but this time, they were more careful than anyone else.

"I know that your plan is to lure us out so that you can kill or capture us, which can be used against Noel. You must have two original plans. The first is to overwhelm us with the number of demons. The second plan is something about buying time.

"Unfortunately, our strength is much stronger than you originally thought, causing you to pull back and act like you are struggling to buy time. But once we see through that plan, you are luring us out to take out a few commandants to weaken the city.

"And because of that, I am here with Dimitri. We have no choice but to fall into your scheme."

"So, what? You have been trying to buy time this whole time. No matter what you do, you won't be able to escape from here." Laufey squinted his eyes.

"Then, humor me with one last question. What will you do if you all actually die here?" Anna smiled. Instead of using her Lightning Transformation to push Laufey a bit further, Anna actually released a ridiculous amount of energy as a pair of horns appeared on her forehead.

"True Spirit Body."

"!!!" Laufey couldn't help but tremble, feeling this energy. The lightning was raging around Anna. Even the demons felt scared to approach her.

The white lightning gradually changed color as if it had been dyed with blood.

"Lightning Berserker Body."

Laufey knew what to do when she transformed this way. He simply had to surround her until they exhausted a portion of her strength before using his own True Spirit Body to defeat her.

However, all the precious time Anna had bought was important. He simply didn't realize how much it mattered.

There was only one person who understood why Anna bought all this time. It was Qiel. Due to her position, she could see a cloud of dust rising behind Laufey's demon army.

"What are you doing, Laufey? Hurry up and defeat—" Dimitri appeared in front of Qiel and knocked her to the ground when she was distracted.

"!!!" Laufey's body shook. There was no way Qiel would scream like that for no reason. Was there something she didn't know? Did she buy time for some reason? He could think about it later. "Attack her!"

"Sorry, it's not possible. You underestimate us too much." Anna smirked.

*Bam!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

Suddenly, a huge explosion sound echoed from the rear as numerous demons were blasted into the air.

If they turned around, they would notice a small army completely obliterating their rear. And there was a young man flying in the sky, monitoring every single situation from the sky. It was none other than Noel.

How could he arrive here? Did he break through the demon army just to reach her? Was it even possible? Did Anna waste all that time just for this? Did she use the True Spirit Body because she knew Noel was coming and utilize it to buy a bit more time?

There were a lot of questions in Laufey's mind, but they didn't really matter as Noel had already arrived. His soldiers were killing one demon after another.

It was then that Noel waved his hand down as if commanding the soldiers to kill all their enemies.

"Ooohhh!"
