System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1097 Where?

"Eh?" Anna's heart sank when she lost the feeling of the grip. She looked at Noel, who looked so peaceful.

"No, no, no!" Anna's face turned extremely pale. Her hand moved to his heart, realizing that it had stopped beating.

"What fate? What freedom! You're going to be freed from death itself!" Anna gritted her teeth. No matter what, she had to do everything she could before giving up.

Without hesitation, she started pumping Noel's chest with both of her hands. "Come back to me! How dare you die before me!"

Anna didn't get any response, so she changed her approach due to the wounds that Noel suffered. She placed the pill between her teeth and inserted it directly into Noel's mouth, using her own tongue and spiritual energy to guide the pill into his body.

In that instant, the pill released a burst of energy that closed Noel's wounds. However, she couldn't help but remember Noel saying that the pill was not enough because the injury wasn't just external and internal. He had used up all his life force.

"I'm not going to let you die! If there is an underworld that dares to take you away from me, I'm going there to bring you back." Anna shouted while pumping his chest again. "That's right, my blood…"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

While her spirit was Thunder Berserker, her True Spirit Body was up. And this body could use some abilities regarding blood.

Without hesitation, Anna grabbed her sword and slit her wrist, allowing the blood to pour down. She positioned her wrist right on top of Noel's mouth so that the blood would immediately fall to the back of his throat.

'Don't lose focus. My blood is not compatible with Noel. I have to carefully direct them and avoid coagulating with his blood…' Anna let her left hand supply the blood as she controlled the blood inside of his body with her right hand.

She directed the blood toward his veins before letting it coagulate in the holes of his veins. In addition, her blood contained a lot of her own life force. She tried to let the energy within her blood mingle with Noel's body and eventually harmonize them.

Due to her condition and intense workload, Anna's face turned pale as her own vision had become a bit blurry. Still, she didn't give up. She tried her best to save Noel.

"Come back to me. If you die, it means that I win against you in terms of age. I'll die later than you. Are you fine with that?" Anna started to become desperate, just trying to say anything to keep herself sane while calling Noel back.

Anna gritted her teeth and placed her hands on his chest once again. This time, she didn't pump it normally. Instead, she used her lightning to beat his heart. "Come back, you bastard! You are going to regret leaving me alone!"

She couldn't contain her tears from streaming down like a fountain. The longer the time passed, the more it was impossible to bring him back.

Anna opened his mouth again and started blowing her breath. She closed her eyes while saying inwardly, 'Don't leave me…'

Meanwhile, Ardagan was activated one last time as if he hadn't lost his owner yet. And the only thing that was activated was the mission.

[Mission Complete.]

[Mission: Fighting the Unknown. (Completed)]

[Description: An unknown danger is looming in the area. Overrelying on the system is bad. Figure out the unknown and defeat it with your own strength.]

[Reward: ???]

'What is this? Where am I?' Noel muttered inwardly. He couldn't open his eyes as he kept sinking as though he were inside water. Still, he could breathe. 'It's dark. Is there no light around here?'

Noel's consciousness was a bit fuzzy.

'I don't know what's happening. Are my eyebrows twitching? I feel like something is pressing my chest.'

Noel calmed himself down, trying to remember what happened.

'Ah! I have died. So this is where I go after dying? Ardagan?' Noel tried to move his body but to no avail. 'I hope that Anna doesn't follow me to death. Well, there is also the threat from the Demon King… Then again, I've died. Should I care about it anymore? Ah right? Does this mean the Ardagan family's bloodline ends with me? Jeez, why am I thinking all this now that I've died? It's not like I can change anything.'

Noel sighed. To his surprise, something actually bumped his back.

'Ehm?' Noel didn't understand, but when his lower body and head actually touched the same thing as his momentum stopped, he realized it. 'Did I just touch the bottom?'

'No, wait. Is the temperature gradually rising? I feel a bit warmer now…'

Suddenly, despite the darkness coming from his closed eyes, Noel noticed that there was a light that sneaked into the microscopic gaps between his eyelids. 'Light? Now that I think about it… I can move my body now?'

Noel tried to move his hands and feet. Surprised that he could move them, Noel proceeded to lift his body by touching the ground underneath him.

Gradually, he opened his eyes, noticing that there was indeed a light source out here.

However, he got yet another surprise.

"What is this?" Noel gasped. The scenery before him only appeared in fairy tales. "Where am I?"

Noel seemed to be sitting on the edge of a very tall cliff. From his position, he could see a very vast horizon.

In front of him was a giant mountain, rising into the sky. There was a meandering river path from the mountain to his current position.

On the left side of the river, he could see a rainforest. The lavish green made the scenery a bit cooler. On the other side was yet another forest, but the trees on this side seemed to be vastly different from the other side.

However, what actually shocked him the most were the inhabitants of this forest.

Standing near the top of the snow-covered mountain was a giant phoenix. It had a blue color as though its body were made of ice. It spread its wings.

The fact that he could easily see the phoenix that was located a few kilometers away from him and still considered it big reflected the actual size of the phoenix.

In the rainforest, there was a towering rocky formation. At the very top, he could see a winged red lizard basking in the sunlight. Its size was actually comparable to that of the phoenix.

That wasn't all. He found yet another peculiar beast in the other forest. It had an elongated neck that could reach up to a hundred meters.

"All of them are actually bigger than the spiders. They look extremely strong as well. And what is this place? I can feel boundless spiritual energy floating in the air." Noel lowered his vision, noticing the small beasts that traveled under the trees. He even noticed the shadow underneath the water, which was actually one kilometer long.

"What is this place? Is this a demon paradise or something? But they don't look like demons. So is this something like the heavens? But I've killed a lot of people… There's no way I can go there." Noel tilted his head in confusion.

"Hahaha. You can call this place anything you like." Suddenly, a man's voice echoed from behind him.

Noel tried to turn his head around, wondering who just said those words.

But before he knew it, Noel actually lowered his head and his body was moving without his permission.

'Eh?' Noel widened his eyes. 'Did I just kneel? And I did it like it's a natural thing to do.'
