'He (She) isn't affected by the mind control?!'

Noel and Anna were staring at each other, never expecting that they both could remove the mind control spore.

Noel planned to stab Anna. Even though he didn't want her to die yet because she still had some uses, he wanted her to suffer, making her hate him so that it would be easier for him to exact his revenge in the future.

On the other hand, Anna planned to remove the mind control to make Noel owe her again and outsmart him.

But all of it was for naught when they realized that they could stop their own mind control.

And now, they were left in this embarrassing position.

"…" The Saintess tilted her head in confusion, not understanding a single thing about this situation. She couldn't see their position directly, but she understood their movement. "What are you two doing? Flirting?"

"NO!" Both Anna and Noel answered out loud at the same time. Their faces were flushed red, embarrassed by the whole situation and misunderstanding.

Of course, the Saintess might not be able to see the world with her blind eyes, but she could still see the movement of the Spiritual Energy like how she discovered the two spirits residing in Noel's body. So, she knew the mushroom did something earlier.

Anna hurriedly let go of Noel while the latter gritted his teeth in anger.

They truly wanted to forget about what happened earlier. They even had the same thought as their eyes let out killing intent.

Looking at the mushroom demon, Noel said to Anna. "Hey. What about a mushroom steak?"

"No, it must be mushroom stew." Anna answered while glaring at the mushroom.

This embarrassment could only be washed away by blood. And they were planning to kill this mushroom and eat it.

Even the Saintess felt a bit scared of their change right now. They were looking at the mushroom as if it was their arch-nemesis.

'Kill.'

'Kill.'

'Kill.'

Anna started letting the instinct from the Thunder Berserker Spirit flowed as she prepared to use his power. But this time, she had agreed to this one.

'Yes. Killing is the only option.' Anna answered inwardly as her body began emitting lightning spark.

Meanwhile, Noel used everything he could use to amplify his ability. Sword Aura, Increase Agility Rune, Strength Blessing Rune, Muscle Strengthening, and Spirit Aura Breathing. He was planning to use all of them in order to kill the monsters.

The mushroom might have done something it shouldn't have. But it was too late.

Anna had made the first move by charging straight to the demon. The only thing she had to fear was the mind control from the touch. It was much more potent than the contamination or the spore. As long as she didn't touch the mushroom, she would be fine.

That was why this lightning covered sword was a perfect weapon for her.

She tried to slash the mushroom to cut it down. But the mushroom somehow leaped into the air and kicked the sword to the ground.

"!!!" Anna saw mushrooms growing on her sword and started sucking the Spiritual Energy. Without hesitation, Anna released the lightning, turning the sword back to a normal one.

The mushrooms followed the lightning and disappeared, allowing Anna to summon another lightning once again. If she used a normal sword and let the mushroom stay there, they would suck the Spiritual Energy she poured into her sword. So, it would be a waste.

Still, Noel took this opportunity to get closer to the mushroom and swung his sword right at the body.

The mushroom once again showed an acrobatic move by grabbing Noel's sword and using it as a support to throw its body into the air.

And the spot that it touched earlier started growing some mushrooms. Without the help of a cover like what Anna did, Noel's sword this time would be useless.

"Noel! The mushrooms are going to absorb the Spiritual Energy you pour into a sword. You should return and get them removed first." Anna warned him out loud.

Unfortunately for her, Noel wasn't even listening to her. He only smiled when he saw those mushrooms and pointed his palm to the Advanced Level Demon. A rune was formed.

Chain Bind Rune.

Two chains suddenly emerged from the runes and flew straight to the demons. Now that the demon was in the air, it couldn't possibly escape from these chains.

Noel's chains circled around the mushroom body and stopped its movement. The only thing the mushroom could do was fall down. However, the mushroom demon also did something to the chains as small mushrooms began to appear on the chain sucking the Spiritual Energy in it. If it continued, the chains would disappear in no time.

However, Noel had already expected such a move, so he came straight to the demon to cut it.

His body was hard enough to stop this attack since Noel couldn't cut the mushroom's hand when it used the sword to perform an acrobatic move. So, Noel had to pour Spiritual Energy into the sword if he wanted to cut it, albeit they would be sucked by the small mushrooms infesting his sword.

Unfortunately for him, Noel wasn't the same person as he was two months ago. He had completely grasped what the Master Blacksmith Roel taught him.

When he poured the Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy moved around the sword as if it was alive. It avoided all the mushrooms so that it didn't get sucked and eventually reached the tip of the sword.

"!!!" The mushroom demon panicked because it couldn't suck any Spiritual Energy from this attack. And the chains had yet to disappear, so it couldn't perform any more acrobatic moves to stop it.

In the end, it used its left hand to stop the sword, but ended up getting sliced by Noel's sword. However, the mushroom demon somehow managed to escape from Noel's attack and avoid the worse.

Meanwhile, the Saintess had been following their battles this whole time and was stunned by their performances. Their movement wasn't like an Apprentice Knight. She was so shocked to the point she asked herself, "Do they even need me here?"
