System vs Rebirth

Once the moon was at the top of their heads, Anna and Melissa began to approach the tower.

Melissa stopped Anna when she was about to break through. She listened closely and said, "There are about four people."

"I know." Anna nodded. She could also sense them because of her unique instinct. "We'll knock them out. For the time being, our appearance here is not known by anyone. If we knock them out and get out of here without making our appearance here, we'll be able to play innocent. The only problem is what we will find inside the basement."

"In that case, I'll knock out the two people on the right."

Anna agreed. "Let's go."Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The ones guarding the basement were actually spirit wielders. They were very strong. Even if a spirit grandmaster came, they would be able to put up a fight for a few seconds and sound the alarm.

However, no one would expect for two spirit transcendences to actually sneak into the tower.

One of the spirit wielders noticed incoming presences, but before he could react, Anna had appeared behind him, her fingers touching the back of his neck.

With a little spark into his brain and spine, the man was knocked out.

Anna then moved to the other guard and knocked him out with the same method.

Of course, Melissa skillfully took down the other two guards.

"I should be able to handle this myself. Watch over this door. Knock out anyone that tries to come and make sure to remain hidden."

After nodding her head, Melissa moved to a different spot. Meanwhile, Anna snapped the lock with her spiritual energy before opening it as quietly as possible.

There was a rotten smell gushing out of the pathway, which forced Anna to close the door again so that no one would find out until she was gone.

Inside was a small pathway that led to stairs leading to the basement. However, it seemed that he had underestimated the tower association.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she could see a huge underground basement. It was like a circular tower with numerous staircases leading to the very bottom.

'Thirty… forty meters deep. What kind of thing are they hiding here? No. When did they actually build this place?' thought Anna as she noticed several doors on the side of the stairs.

She approached the first door not far away from her. There seemed to be nothing dangerous since her instinct didn't pick up anything.

She carefully opened the first door to check what could be hidden inside this place. And that was when the rotten smell suddenly struck her nose.

Anna hurriedly used the spiritual energy to form a barrier to stop the smell from leaking out before closing the door.

Anna couldn't help but widen her eyes the moment she saw everything in this room. It was a small room, and she could easily see everything right from the entrance.

It was dark because there were no candles, but thanks to the Moon Blessing, she could see it.

On the opposite side of the room, there was a corpse hanging on the ceiling. It was a male corpse, but unlike a normal human corpse, his right hand had expanded five times of the original size. The veins bulged on that arm as the skin turned purple.

On the left hand, it still resembled a normal human except for the same purple skin.

The most horrible things were the two legs. They were stretching like rubber but also expanding like the right hand. In addition, half of the legs had already rotten, showing how long this guy had been here.

Anna covered her mouth as she wanted to puke.

Even the original Anna said, 'Come on. Even the you in our previous lives was not that bad. Without Noel, we would still kill people, but we did it instantly, so they didn't really feel much pain. Looking at this guy, he is being tortured by transforming his body. Demons?'

Anna's expression turned dark. 'They are trying to turn innocent people into demons? If their experiment succeeds, they can actually cause a lot of unrest inside the kingdom. Are they insane?'

'But Noel said there is a possibility that the king has been brainwashed or turned into a demonic human. If that's the case, there's a possibility that the demonic humans have a way to change their appearance. Remember that their eyes were different?'

'If we can't actually differentiate between a normal human and a demonic human, it'll be all over. Are all of these planned by the demons? They know they won't be able to defeat the Ardagan family by fighting them head-on, so they choose this kind of tactic?'

'It's possible, but we have to figure out what is happening first. We'll briefly check all those doors since they might be the same.'

The two Annas reached an agreement, but before they opened the door, they heard a woman screaming.

"NOOOO!!!"

"!!!" Anna widened her eyes while the original Anna said, 'I think it's better to skip everything and head down there right away. It'll allow us to find out what's happening.'

Anna immediately opened the door and jumped to the very bottom. She used her spiritual energy to smooth her landing so that she didn't produce any sound.

At the bottom, she saw a big corridor with two paths at the end. Considering the scream came from the right, she chose this path and actually saw a long corridor with cells as if this were a prison.

Anna checked the content of the prison, which turned out to be humans. Their eyes had lost their focus as if they had been drugged.

Unfortunately, she couldn't help them right now since there was something more important. She continued, following the woman's scream until she reached the cell at the end of the corridor.

There was a woman being chained down to the bed. A middle-aged man was casually bringing his tools to the table next to the operating bed.

Anna couldn't help but shudder in shock as she hid behind the wall. The middle-aged man who had been doing this was actually Old Jade's disciple, Gaston.
