System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1380: Capturing Laufey

"What's going on?! This power…" Josephine gritted her teeth. Her arms and legs were covered in frostbite. At this rate, she would be frozen soon.

Josephine waved her scythe to the side, opening up a portal. However, the portal was immediately covered by a thick ice.

Laufey punched the ice to shatter it, but he ended up screaming. "Aaahhhh!"

The ice, instead of getting shattered, actually spread on his fist. The burning sensation of this ice was already close to that of dry ice, so it was extremely painful.

"Where do you think you're going? Since you have attacked this town, then stay forever!" Melissa stated with a cold gaze. It was as if she had treated them as nothing but a dead man.

Of course, Melissa had another purpose. Killing them would be too easy. Considering it was the Supreme Devil Organization, she planned to capture them to extract the information.

Even if they were tight-lipped, there were a few ways to force them to confess by utilizing the spirits.

"You bitch!" Josephine waved her scythe toward Melissa this time, releasing a crescent-shaped wave that bent the space.

Laufey looped around and punched her from the side.

Melissa grabbed the space wave and froze it. Meanwhile, she ducked to avoid Laufey's fist before going back up and kicking Laufey from the side, launching him toward Josephine.

He ended up crashing into Josephine, which made both of them in disarray.

Then Melissa ran forward.

Josephine, while gritting her teeth, activated her teleportation. It was much quicker than a portal, but the distance wasn't as far.

Still, this was enough for them to get away, especially since there was a distance between them.

Josephine and Laufey's bodies disappeared, which indicated the ability was fully activated. However, their bodies soon reappeared only several meters away.

In fact, it looked like they crashed into something invisible.

"What?!" Josephine panicked as she couldn't help but feel chills down her spine. 'She… froze the spiritual energy for the teleportation and forced the element to cancel midway? This… This power… She is definitely a spirit transcendence… But even Alexander has never done something like this.

'Don't tell me. This woman is actually a spirit transcendence much more powerful than Alexander? Where did she come from?'

There were a lot of questions in her mind. No one would expect there to be a hidden expert at this level in the Ardagan family. More importantly, this kind of power was supposed to be revealed easily.

In fact, if she were here this whole time, she would have stopped the execution of Noel's parents.

Hence, her appearance here meant she was either brought by Noel personally or there was another scheme much deeper and longer than they currently saw.

Nevertheless, the conclusion was the same. 'Not good. I will die here!'

Little did she know, the reason Melissa was strong was not because she was a spirit transcendence, but because she was at this level and had her special control.

Just like Noel's Force Control that allowed him to release an even stronger attack and even heal his body, Melissa's Control allowed her to wield two things at the same time. She taught this ability to Noel.

But for her, this method gave her the chance to control both snow and ice. The snow created a domain for her, not only lowering the temperature but also cooling down the spiritual energy itself.

It was thanks to this domain that she could easily freeze everything, including the space itself.

In other words, her snow element boosted her ice element to an unprecedented level. If Noel and Melissa fought each other with only their ice element, Melissa might come out on top just because of this snow element.

Facing such a monster, Josephine fell into despair. This was the first time her space element was so ineffective.

In fact, Melissa deliberately gave them the opportunity to enter the town so that she could trap them here.

"Haaaaaa!" Laufey released all his energy at once. That burst caused the spiritual energy in the air to become unstable, meaning the ice element that was used to prevent the teleportation was undone. "Josephine. Go!"

"!!!" Josephine was stunned.

Melissa noticed what they were up to. It was clear that Laufey wanted to sacrifice himself so that Josephine could escape.

Josephine wanted to bring Laufey back, but Melissa had already reached him.

Laufey struck her without hesitation. "Go! Your ability is much more useful than mine!"

Melissa harrumphed and released her own energy, freezing Laufey.

"Haaaa!" Laufey's energy erupted once more. If Josephine brought him out, Melissa would also be teleported with him. Or if she waited for too long, Melissa would defeat Laufey and stop her from getting away.

In other words, she had to leave by herself as quickly as possible.

Josephine could only grit her teeth and activate her space element, teleporting her directly outside the city.

"No, you won't!" Melissa waved her hand.

But before she could unleash that power, Laufey's energy erupted for the third time. This time, he actually infused his own life force to create enough power to influence the spiritual energy in the air. In addition, his strength was what stopped Melissa.

"!!!" Melissa looked surprised. She didn't expect Laufey would have enough strength to create that opening.

Laufey smirked. "Your opponent is me."

Melissa was furious. The moment Josephine was outside the city, there was no way to catch her anymore.

As a result, all that fury could only be directed to Laufey, the person who made it possible.

Her eyes turned bloodshot. The moment Laufey's energy wavered, Melissa immediately overpowered him and slammed him to the ground.

"Gah!" Laufey spat a mouthful of blood. His body started to get covered in ice.

Melissa didn't know Laufey. Even Noel never said anything about his true identity, considering it might leak to the Supreme Devil Organization. As a result, she didn't hold back against Laufey.

Laufey could only make his face as if he was troubled by her extraordinary power, but before he was completely frozen, a relieved expression flashed.
