System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1639: Overwhelming Power

”...” Incetta widened her eyes in surprise. She felt the surging power she had never felt before.

”Is this...” Incetta gasped. After experiencing this power, she couldn’t help but mutter, ”So, that’s how it is.”

She had actually misunderstood Noel the whole time.

At first, she was disappointed because Noel didn’t make her his disciple, but it was because he wanted her to grow.

It felt like Noel was whispering in her ear, ”The path of a king is a lonely one. Just like the actual sovereign, you may observe them or use them as a reference, but they can’t tell you about it so that your path is your only one.

”If you end up getting influenced or if someone guides you through the path of the king, that is not the path of the king. You are just being led in that path.”

Incetta finally understood why she didn’t become Noel’s disciple, but Rui did.

All this time, Incetta had been under Vivi’s guidance. If she wanted to find her king path, Noel couldn’t be the one to initiate it.

In other words, Incetta had to walk forward without Vivi and took the path by her own choice.

Rui got accepted because she chose to take a step forward and ask Noel to become her master. If Incetta did the same in the beginning, she would have become Noel’s disciple.

That was why Anna told her that it was better for her to have Noel as her master. Their powers were similar.

At the same time, Anna didn’t reject her because she knew this was the correct answer as well. After all, she was the one who asked Anna to be her master.

Incetta was just disappointed because she failed to figure out Noel’s kind intention.

Now that she had found her king path, she understood it all.

Even though Noel didn’t look like he was paying attention to her progress, Noel had been giving her an opportunity.

Building her family was one thing, but giving her a territory and making her a leader of her own was definitely something that he hoped would affect her own mindset.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain it out loud to her.

Incetta took a deep breath.

”I’m sorry, my lord...” Incetta muttered. She had truly wronged Noel. It turned out the biggest wall was not the master, but herself. She was too reliant on Vivi.

The ancient demon spider noticed her sudden change and hurriedly sent forth its legs to disrupt her.

Incetta’s expression turned solemn. She might not be able to apologize right away, but she could apologize by defeating all these enemies and doing the best thing on this battlefield.

Incetta took a step forward and swung her sword.

The water gushed out like a sword strike, but upon impact, the power rivaled that of a thrust.

The water ended up striking both legs and actually destroyed them.

”!!!” The spider was screeching while seeing its legs getting destroyed all the way to their base.

Unfortunately, it didn’t have time to react as Incetta had leaped into the air.

Incetta had changed her weapon into a spear again.

The spider gathered everything it had in its mouth before spurting all the poison it had.

Incetta thrust her spear forward. The spear dispersed the poison in all directions, but this was only the power of the spear.

Now that she had found her king path, the way she utilized her power had changed.

”There is no difference between my sword and spear. Both of them are my weapons, and so is my water element. The shape of a weapon might not be flexible, but I know what is flexible, my water.”

Incetta channeled her power into the tip of the spear. The water was released from the tip and started overwhelming the poison.

”!!!” The spider was startled when it saw the water gradually encroaching toward its body.

It tried to release everything it had stored in one go, but it was useless. The water was as sharp as a spear.

It continued to expand even after reaching the spider’s head. The water flowed and pierced through the spider, but not in the form of a spear.

Instead, the water changed its shape like that of a blade. Yes, the water became the extension of the spear.

It made Incetta look like she was holding a very long blade rather than a spear.

The water ultimately stabbed the ground as the spider finally stopped spurting its poison.

Incetta held her spear with both hands and lifted it up. The water extension cut the spider into two as if it were a massive blade.

The spider body fell to both sides, signifying the death of the ancient demon spider.

It was no wonder Noel and Anna became so strong that no one could fight them anymore. The king path was truly powerful.

There was no one that could face her with this power. And if she truly became a king in the near future, she would be unmatched.

The people from the Sherveana family would definitely regret treating her this way.

Nevertheless, she wasn’t bothered with her old family anymore. After finding her path, she wanted to help Noel and Anna in the best way possible.

”What am I supposed to do now? Should I head straight to the demon kings? Maybe I can help Lord Noel a little? But so much time has passed. I don’t know what is happening over there. The battle might have been over.

”In addition, if I leave this battlefield, the soldiers might not be able to hold on. After all, they’re still overwhelming our numbers.

”How about clearing up this place and bringing reinforcement there? But it’s too late. How about going to other places?”

Incetta squinted her eyes. ”No. I think I should clean up this place as much as possible before heading there.”

Incetta thought that the best way to help was to lower the number of demons here until her army could take care of it on their own. Then, she would head to Noel to see if she could help.

If she couldn’t help with anything, she would then head to other places to end this war.
