System vs Rebirth

In fact, the marquis might not return to the mansion directly.

"…" The woman frowned, wondering what she had to do. On the one hand, she didn\'t want the Supreme Devil Organization to be found out. On the other hand, she had to chase after the marquis so that everything went smoothly.

"It seems that I have to prioritize the books and the marquis first." The woman let out a long sigh.

Of course, the woman was making sure that no one was around when all of them were away.

She even hid her presence as much as possible to the point if she stood in front of a normal person, they wouldn\'t have noticed her. With this kind of presence, she searched around while trying to find out any people that tried to find out about her.

After making sure that no spies were inside the city, she started picking up her pace to follow the marquis.

And this was when Anna opened her eyes.

"It seems she has left." Anna muttered with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" Illia, who had been working on gathering information for her, couldn\'t help but look at her and ask, "What do you mean?"

"It\'s time to infiltrate the mansion." Anna shook her head helplessly, saying it in a simple way.

"Are you sure about that? How do you know there is a person that can do such a thing?"

Anna fell silent before ultimately shaking her head. "Unfortunately, I couldn\'t tell you. Just think about it as a Spirit Ability."

Anna wasn\'t lying. This ability came from the spirit, but it wasn\'t a Spirit Ability. What she had was the Spirit Link and the instinct that came from the Lightning Berserker Spirit.

After receiving that instinct and acknowledging the connection between her and the spirit, she finally began to train her own instinct. She tried to use it to detect every living being around her.

It was a kind of enhancing her senses like Rose, but it was her sixth sense.

Her instinct had been telling her that there was a danger hiding inside the mansion. So, she tried to avoid any form of action that would expose her.

After her instinct told her the threat had left the city, she finally woke up from her meditation.

"Either way, it\'s time for us to infiltrate the mansion and find something useful."

Anna and Illia exchanged looks. Although Illia was more adept in this kind of mission, Anna\'s ability was extremely useful. After all, she managed to escape from the ambush.

No matter what, she wasn\'t a Spirit Master, so it was impossible for her to recognize such a threat. She didn\'t know that the enemy this time was a Devil Bishop, who was a Spirit Grandmaster. There was no way she would survive if she had infiltrated the mansion without Anna\'s warning.

After reaching an agreement, they immediately rose from their position and began to change their clothes, preparing for the infiltration.

Although it would be good to use the darkness as their cover, they didn\'t have much time to begin with. So, they could only rely on their ability to erase their presence and their expertise in hiding their trace to do it.

As one would expect from someone who had lived twice, the moment she erased her presence, it was so thin that even Illia was startled.

"!!!" Illia widened her eyes and even used her Spiritual Energy as if she was trying to confirm her presence. "You can erase your presence to this degree?"

"Yeah. My current power is not enough to do more, but this should be enough for the current situation, right?" Anna smiled.

Illia and Anna nodded at each other. Instead of going with their normal black tight suit, they infiltrated the mansion in a maid uniform.

This way, even if they were caught, they could pretend to be a maid and retreat smoothly. Besides, the black suit stood out during the day, so it wouldn\'t be good for them to use it.

After putting on some makeup to alter their appearance a bit, they began to walk into the mansion.

They were wandering around the mansion before finding a spot to jump over the wall. It was a similar infiltration to the Ardagan Family\'s mansion.

But this time, there would be a lot of people inside the mansion, so they had to be careful.

…

While they were entering the mansion, the marquis reached the place where his people were attacked.

There was nothing left other than the blood on the ground. Even the corpses had been burned completely and the armor had gone as if they were stolen. It looked like a bandit\'s deed, but his group was an elite group. There was no way a mere bandit group could crush them like this.

So, this was truly an assassination set up by someone.

He immediately looked at the trusted knight he had, asking, "Do you think you can trace it?"

"Let me try." A middle-aged man approached the corpses and clasped his hands. Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy burst out of his palms and started enveloping the corpses.

In that instant, the ground started to emit golden light as they projected the elite group as if they had been recalled from the land of the dead.

All of them couldn\'t speak, but they did the same thing. They were pointing their hands to the east.
