"Hoh?" Anna narrowed her eyes when she saw a figure with black coat coming out of the mansion. She was standing near the wall before this guy jumped over it and began to blend in as if he was just a passerby.

Normal people wouldn't think much about it, but a Spirit Wielder like her could easily find him.

'So, he is the Spirit Master.' Anna thought, tailing the guy.

Anna could completely erase both her Spiritual Energy and presence, so the guy didn't realize he had been tailed.

Despite him wanting to suppress Anna, he didn't realize he had been tailed by the very target.

The guy entered a shabby inn and opened the cover of his face. He could finally get some breathing air for a bit.

"Hmm?" Anna widened her eyes in shock because she actually found a boy that seemed to be slightly older than her.

'What? How old is he? It doesn't seem he is in his twenties, but how does he reach a Spirit Master at that age?' Anna gasped. She didn't enter Noel and herself into the equation because they were completely abnormal with their own secret.

A Spirit Master that young would be famous no matter where he went, so it was quite surprising that the guy was this strong.

However, she was soon shocked by what she found next. Although she couldn't see it clearly due to how small the gap was, the guy's hand seemed to be covered in fur.

'Huh? A fur?' Anna frowned, trying to recall the information about something like this. She soon arrived at a certain place that seemed to experience an attack by someone like this.

'Now that I think about it, I have heard of a town being destroyed by a few people. All of them have great strength and unique power. A part of their body seems to have been merged with the demon, so they couldn't be said to be a human anymore.

'Still, it didn't change the fact that these humans came from an experiment. An experiment to merge the two bloodlines so that they could stay as a human but with the strength of a demon.

'No, wait. If I'm not wrong, Noel will find this incident soon. Ah, I can't remember the details… No, I don't know the details since I haven't read that part.'

Anna scratched the back of her head and changed the question. "Is there some correlation between the Count, the Supreme Devil Organization, and the experiment?"

Anna looked down for a moment before coming to a realization. "Wait a minute… Are you serious?"

Anna had just realized the conspiracy was bigger than she originally thought.

"It seems that the Count truly has a way to make a demon farm. By utilizing this farm, the Supreme Devil Organization can get an endless amount of powerful demons. In the past life, they used this tactic to weaken the Demon Banner Army.

"At the same time, there were also a few cases regarding the fusion between a human and a demon. I had never handled them before, but it seemed their strength was forcefully raised because of the fusion. It was great at first, but the side effects were a different matter."

Anna pinched the bridge of her nose. It turned out the Count provided the farm and the necessary material for the fusion.

"I have been weakening the Supreme Devil Organization to strengthen myself, which is the best way to get stronger. But this time, I'm afraid the situation isn't that simple…"

Anna bit her lips. "Should I let Noel handle him? But seeing his strength and how awkward it would become if Noel suddenly brought back this guy, I couldn't really allow them to get this guy. What should I do then?"

Anna contemplated for a moment. She knew that it was impossible to crush this guy by herself. She was planning to get Noel involved and win the fight, but how would they split the loot, especially this guy's body? It was enough to alarm the Inquisitor Organization and the Demon Banner Army after all.

"I see. It seems I have to take down the Count. He should have been smuggling some money in order to create the farm. I can take all the money away, especially the Demon Crystals to get stronger.

"Meanwhile, I'll take this guy down with Noel's help. Lastly, I'll try to investigate the Count's mansion after everything is over.

"The only problem will be how to involve Noel in this matter, considering he will be under the supervision of his superior.

"I have to find a way to separate Noel while not making myself known since I would be dead if they found out about me."

Anna had a headache thinking about all the possibilities. This was what Noel had been through this whole time when she relied on him to make the battle plan.

Now that she had changed and gained some experience, Anna could see a few plans that could work.

Not only could she get the mysterious guy, but she could also use it to take down the Count. It was a serious crime to even hold a conversation with a member of the Supreme Devil Organization, so this was enough to prosecute the Count.

While deciding on her plan, she noticed that the guy had come out of his room as if planning to do something. She didn't know she was his target this time but kept tailing him.

At the same time, the guy didn't know Anna had been watching him without him noticing. It was a clear gap between their strength despite the guy being stronger.

The guy from the Supreme Devil Organization turned into a soldier by wearing some armor and climbed the wall effortlessly. By posing as a soldier, he could find the situation outside, especially the demons along with the Demon Banner Army.

Seeing how the Demon Banner Army had arrived on the battlefield, he knew he didn't have too much time to complete his mission.

So, he immediately returned back to the ground while holding his blade as if planning to cut Anna down as soon as he found her.
