"!!!" The guy stumbled to the ground, having trouble to keep his body stable.
Anna's eyes flashed. She took advantage of the opening to appear behind him and slash his body.
The guy hurriedly ducked down to escape. Unfortunately, Anna faked her swing since the sword was let go and ended up dropping to the ground.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!" The guy screamed in pain as the sword actually landed and stabbed his calf.
Anna pulled that sword to cut his feet, but the guy endured the pain and hurriedly jumped with his uninjured foot.
He was gnashing his teeth, never thinking that two Spirit Wielders would be able to handle him. And due to their speed and attack patterns, it was impossible for him to use any big moves that would destroy the entire area.
When he started revolving his Spiritual Energy, Anna increased her speed with her lightning to arrive before him.
*Clink!*
Their swords clashed again, preventing the guy from using his Spiritual Energy. He could only muster a little bit of Spiritual Energy at a time.
'Is she truly only a Spirit Wielder? Why is her strength similar to mine? And that masked bastard… If there is no him, this woman's attack pattern will be full of holes.'
In his thought, he had recognized Noel and Anna's power. He also showed how Noel played a huge part in Anna's attack pattern. At the same time, it also meant Anna trusted Noel a lot since she left her back open.
Anna kept focusing on dealing as much damage as possible while Noel filled all the gaps between her movements.
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
They ended up crossing their swords for another fifty times. Although the battle looked like it reached a stalemate, the enemy gradually lost its power due to the injury earlier.
Meanwhile, Anna and Noel managed to keep him at the area while keeping the people away by using Noel's Sword Fall.
But one variable occurred. They had taken their time in this fight, so it meant the Count, who was trying to escape from the city, had left his mansion and reached the street.
"What is happening here?!" The Count shouted in anger, peeking at the situation from his carriage.
The people who stopped a bit farther away from the battle ended up obstructing the way, so he couldn't leave.
It took him a while before he could reach this far. But everything changed when he saw Noel fighting together with Anna Stargaze.
As soon as he heard the Count's voice, Noel turned around with his mouth open as though he was completely shocked by his appearance.
"Not good!" Noel hurriedly moved between them while shouting, "Protect the Count. The enemy is a Spirit Master! He's planning to harm the Count!"
"!!!" Anna was shocked by what she heard and realized Noel just wanted to brand him as an enemy.
Meanwhile, the guy from the Supreme Devil Organization smirked as he could finally see the gap after the Count entered this place.
He was already angry at the Count for betraying them. So, he planned to kill the Count. With this intention, he should get some advantages in the battle.
Even Anna was shocked for a moment, giving an opportunity for him to jump toward the Count.
"You bastard. You had agreed to join the Supreme Devil Organization but you actually betrayed me by sending these two people?!" The guy shouted in anger, revealing an important piece of information.
"!!!" The people were shocked. The Count was dumbstruck. They were looking at each other as if they couldn't believe what he said.
Everyone knew about the Supreme Devil Organization and their evil deeds. So, it was clear what it meant to have a relationship with the Supreme Devil Organization.
"What?!" The people began questioning the Count.
"Is that true?"
"The Count is a person of the Supreme Devil Organization?"
While the citizens, who witnessed the battle, were questioning the Count. Noel had appeared between them and stopped the guy from killing the Count.
"I don't know if that's true, but you have to pass me first if you want to harm him." Noel righteously declared. "You are innocent until you're proven otherwise. And since you have declared you are from the Supreme Devil Organization, I'm going to kill you."
*Clink!*
"Gh!" The guy gritted his teeth as Noel's sword ended up stopping all his momentum. "Go away! Do you not know that the Count has set up a Demon Farm? And the current predicament of this city is because of his farm?!"
The guy declared the Count's deeds without hesitation. At the very least, even if he couldn't escape, the Count would surely be dead alongside with him. His life exchanged with a Count's life… it was worth it.
Little did they know, this was the reason why Noel didn't want to kill the enemy right away. He wanted to get information from this guy directly since it was clear that he was quite spiteful.
And when everything was revealed, all the eyes were locked on the shocked Count.
"What did you say? How dare you slander me! Do you think your trick by making up lies like that will work?!" The Count shouted back in anger.
Anna's eyes flashed right away. She suddenly raised her badge and stated out loud. "I'm Anna Stargaze, a direct subordinate of Arbiter Stargaze. I'm an Inquisitor in charge of protecting the kingdom's stability. We have some suspicion of the shady Demon Nests. It seems that both of you are truly working together…"
Everyone was completely startled by Anna's identity. They knew about the Stargaze Family, but they weren't aware of Inquisitor, considering the organization worked in the dark. However, it was a different case for an Arbiter.
Everyone knew about the kingdom's arbiters since all of them were the Kingdom's strength. And with Anna stating she was under her father's command, it was clear that the accusation wasn't empty.
And with this, they had checkmated the Count and this mysterious guy from the Supreme Devil Organization.
