*Thud—!*
The body of one of the most powerful demonic humans fell to the ground without being able to touch Anna.
"What?" The remaining demonic humans couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. They were supposed to be stronger than spirit grandmasters, how could Anna defeat them?

"Did she just kill one of us?"
"How could this be?"
"Isn't Anna Stargaze only a spirit grandmaster?"
The people were trying to figure out how Anna managed to defeat one of them so easily.
On the other hand, Howard and Felicia had already heard about her strength and the fact that she would show it to the enemy. Both of them smiled, knowing that this was the time to defeat their enemy.
"Howard, Felicia. You take care of one of them each. There will be a lot of them coming in the future, so consider this mission a failure if neither of you can defeat them."
Howard and Felicia obviously understood the assignment. Howard had been getting stronger under Noel, not only with Rune Body but also with equipment. Meanwhile, Felicia had a lot of Rune Cards at her disposal. Even if they were weaker than their opponents, their own trump cards should be enough to kill one of them.
"Understood!" They replied in unison.
During that time, the enemy had figured out her true strength.
"No. That's impossible. She has reached the spirit transcendence rank. We need to retreat and inform them about her strength."
The two demonic humans who had surpassed the spirit grandmasters rank turned around, trying to escape.
The Metal Arbiter widened his eyes in shock as he almost lost the grip of his sword because of the difference in strength. His sword was getting pushed back toward his body, the sharp edge almost hitting his chest.
"Kh!" The Metal Arbiter gnashed his teeth, wanting to throw his body to the side so that he could at least avoid it.
Unfortunately for him, Anna held the sword with both hands and completely overpowered him, launching him to the ground.
Bam!
The Metal Arbiter spat a mouthful of blood as his sword ended up cutting his chest due to her swing.
Anna landed in front of him while placing her sword at his neck. "You are weak. You think just because you have that amount of spiritual energy, you are strong? You don't understand the real power. If your body can still turn into metal by using your spirit ability, you would have been able to fight me much longer."
"I don't understand? Someone as talented as you would never be able to understand the struggle of a normal guy!" The Metal Arbiter shouted.
"Indeed. I might never understand them, but I don't escape like you." Anna snorted.
"Hehe. A minute has passed. Even if you defeat me, you won't be able to catch up to that guy. It's useless, Anna Stargaze. Once the people know your true strength, you will be screwed." The Metal Arbiter grinned.
"Him? Leaving? How?" Anna shook her head helplessly.
"Huh?" The Metal Arbiter raised his eyebrows, noticing something was wrong.
Anna had never looked desperate this whole time. It was as if she let the other guy go this whole time, not because she didn't mind if the information was spread, but because there was no way that guy could escape.
Three kilometers from their battlefield, the last demonic human was standing on the ground with a pose as if he were about to pounce on something.
However, his body couldn't move as the ice had frozen his body. A thick layer of ice gradually formed outside his body.
Then, with a light push from Melissa, the ice crumbles into pieces. "How foolish a human can be? Just for strength, they'd rather side with demons, forgetting the fact that they're the world's common enemy." Melissa shook her head helplessly.
