25 dayster.
Anna was standing in the middle of a field by herself. She was regting her breathing for a while. The wind was calm and the atmosphere was peaceful.
As Anna opened her eyes, she released a burst of her energy. With a loud "Hap!" the energy turned explosive as her eyes turned bloodshot.
The energy was so powerful that it cracked the ground in twenty meters radius just from the sheer pressure.
Her right foot stepped forward, stomping the ground and turning the cracked ground into a crater. After that, she threw a punch with her left fist.
The torrential explosive energy flew forth, crashing to the ground and expanding the crater.
After that, she grabbed the sword with her spiritual energy. Then she turned to the boulder located a hundred meters from her.
Anna drew her sword at lightning speed, shooting out the explosive energy in a crescent form.
When it hit the rock, the spiritual energy cut the rock instead of crushing it. Multiple sparks urred on the cut surfaces. However, the lightning soon overwhelmed the rock and ended up shattering it into pieces.
"…" Anna looked disappointed when she saw that result.
"We failed again, huh?" The Original Anna frowned.
"It should be me. It seemed that the explosive power was a bit too much. If I toned it down a bit, it might work."
"No. I was the one who couldn''t control the lightning." The original Anna harrumphed.
If one took a closer look at the rubbles, there were actually multiple scorch marks. Instead of the earth-shattering lightning, this lightning could be calm and only release its mighty heat. It couldn''t happen without Old Ru''s cirction method that calmed down the lightning.
"We both need to get stronger or we won''t survive against the demon king." Anna''s expression turned solemn.
"You better keep your promise once we''re done with the demon king."
"Of course. I''ll definitely find a body for you and let you live like a normal person. In fact, with all the techniques you learn, it won''t be weird if you be a powerhouse after that."N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
"As long as you remember." The original Anna nodded. "Still, isn''t he taking too long?"
"No. He should be back today if I know him correctly. He will need two days to sort out everything and another two days to go back." Anna shook her head.
As she said, the Arctic Queen walked toward Noel, who was still meditating in the snowy field.
She couldn''t help but feel a bit shocked with what she found. The snow had two directions, one side fell to the left while the other fell to the right, creating a small spot in the middle where the snow didn''t fall.
However, the snow wasn''t the only thing that changed. The wind was also blowing in two separate directions.
''This is so cold-nya!" The phantom nced at the Arctic Queen while asking, "The training is over, right? We could go back right now, right-nya?!"
"I thought that it was impossible for him to reach this stage in less than a month. But I never thought he not only aplished it but also surpassed it." The Arctic Queen''s expression turned solemn.
As if noticing their presence, Noel gradually opened his eyes while maintaining the cirction method.
He stood up and started walking toward them. His pace was slow, but the Arctic Queen couldn''t help but feel astonished. "You can even do it while doing other things."
Noel let out a long sigh as everything returned to normal. "It''s a bit hard, but it''s doable right now. However, I don''t think I can use it on high-speed battles yet."
"It takes time. It''s already amazing that you''re able to do it in less than a month."
"I don''t have a lot of time." Noel shook his head helplessly. Not only was he busy with his job as the lord, but he also had a lot of opponents. That was why he didn''t have a lot of time. "Anyway, is everything ready?"
"Yes. That fish has been waiting for you-nya!" She pouted. "Also, also… I have found ancient demons. Not just one, but two-nya! You have to keep your promise-nya!"
Noel chuckled. "Haha. I know, I know. For now, we should remove the curse first. I don''t have much time left here. For now, if the first treatment is sessful, I will probably remove the curses for all elders right now.
When I have time, I will do more."
"I''ve conveyed that intention. After some considerations, we''re thinking about giving that chance to five elders: me, this cat, Venom Overlord, Diva, and Vampire. The gluttony showed no interest in it. Instead, how about giving that chance to the overseer as well as a king? The Buffalo King had guided you here, so we could reward him that way.
"In addition, the Buffalo King could easily lead you back outside. How is it?" The Arctic Queen asked.
"Is the Buffalo King here?"
"Yes. We have called him to reward him. If you don''t agree, we''ll reward him with something else."
"In that case, let''s do it. I''ve been simting the process in my head in thest five days. If nothing goes wrong, the process won''t take more than two hours per person."
"Alright. I''ll inform them-nya!" The phantom disappeared first. Meanwhile, Noel and the Arctic Queen returned together.
He was guided back to the hall. They had removed the table and chairs to create an open space. The Overseer, the five elders, Andreas, and Anna had been waiting for him and the Arctic Queen. The only one missing was the Buffalo King, but it was probably because the overseer was here. Even Andreas only heard about him from the rumor after all.
Noel then shifted his gaze to the side. There was a pool of water on the side so that the diva could use it to suppress the fire.
"Is there anything you need?" Old Ru asked.
"No. We can begin right away. This will be the treatment process. I''ll use the fire to cleanse the soul, then the blood. Andreas will help me with his soul ability and Force Control for both the soul and blood. It''ll be painful since you''re going to be burned from the inside.
After it''s over, I''ll move the me outside your body. Any questions?"
"No." The diva moved to the center. "I''m ready."
