Chapter 1092 Noel vs Demons
Scree!
The spider let out a loud screeching sound. Noel hurriedly put up the Spiritual Barrier Rune in front of them.
As expected, he felt the impact of the shock wave. He knew that the spider would release a bit of its spiritual energy in this way.
"Noel..." Anna was still shocked by Noel's power. She couldn't believe that Noel instantly surpassed her during this exchange.
At the same time, she slightly understood the concept of the new power that might lead to Spirit Transcendence.Finnd new updates at novelhall.com
Noel's expression turned grim because the spider was gathering the energy in its mouth again, making him think that he would be using the same attack as the first one.
Noel hurriedly prepared for the incoming attack, only to find the spider suddenly lifting its body up and shooting out the web from its spinneret.
"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth. He was so focused on the spider's most powerful attack that he would end up falling for the spider's trick.
When the spider shot its web, Noel didn't have a lot of time to prepare.
He thought about cutting the web, but he didn't know the reaction it would bring to the web. At the same time, utilizing his ice element would be a rather bad move since the web easily melted it and passed through it.
However, there was one thing that he could try after gaining the new power.
Instead of an ice mirror that was normally used for defense, Noel actually summoned an Ice Lotus above his head.
This huge ice lotus sent forth its petals.
Because this was an ice element technique, he couldn't do it the same way as Sword Transmutation.
However, there was something that could help him trigger a burst of energy from the petals. It was the Everchanging Emotion Sword Style.
That was right. Noel incorporated his emotions into each petal. He had to use different emotions in those five petals to create the disturbance. Hence, he chose Joy, Guilt, Distress, Surprise, and Fear.
He then let all these petals collide right before the web hit them.
Joy produced a blunt force that was used to protect. Surprise boosted the defensive power. Distress and Guilt created two opposite powers, as they represented desperation and hesitation.
Those two emotions were the ones causing the energy flow to change abruptly, hesitating to mix with them while desperately trying to enter.
And the one that acted as the catalyst was Fear emotion, which boosted the speed.
As a result, the process sped up, causing a burst of torrential energy that mixed with the ice petals.
When the web hit them, it was the same as pushing another variable into the system, which caused the ice petals to explode.
The explosion caused the ice to spread in the air, freezing the web in an instant. Even the corrosive power of that web wasn't enough if they were covered in thick ice in just a split second.
As if knowing what was going to happen, the Superior Demons and Peak Level Demons suddenly emerged from the woods to their right. The Ancient Demon Spider had expected Noel to block that attack, so it was just acting as bait.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
The beasts were approaching at a fast speed.
Anna turned around while holding her blade, ready to engage them. This way, Noel could focus on the spider.
On the other hand, Noel swung his sword downward.
Divine Slash!
The ray of light produced a green color while the Divine Slash ran through the ground and expanded, releasing a burst of blue light that reflected the ice element in the air.
When the two collided for the first time, the sky turned into two colors as if it were being split.
The Divine Slash mixed with the ice element tried to freeze the light itself, while the latter was corroding the ice and shattering it into pieces the next instant.
The spiritual energy from both attacks clashed, producing an earth-shattering shock wave that obliterated anything around the area.
However, the conclusion was reached soon.
After all, this was not Sword Transmutation but Divine Slash.
The Divine Slash actually left behind a sword trail on the ground that reached ten meters deep underground.
The ray of light ended up getting split into two, the residual light was still flowing but not in Noel and Anna's direction, reducing everything in its way to nothing.
"!!!" The spider looked shocked when the Divine Slash managed to slash its ray apart. The Sword Strike continued on its path toward the spider.
The spider knew that if an attack of that caliber were to hit him, it would definitely pierce through its skin and cut deep into its body. Once the Divine Slash hit his head, it had the chance of killing him.
At the same time, it just released too much energy in that attack, so it didn't have enough energy to jump into the air.
The only thing that the spider could do was drag its body to the side.
When the Divine Slash slashed through the spider's poison ray, it continued moving forward, albeit missing the spider's head due to the spider's exceptional prediction.
The Divine Slash ended up hitting the spider's leg. The ice element froze it for a split second and weakened the tough skin before the residual energy from the Divine Slash cut down the entire leg.
Scree!
The spider wailed in pain, but surprisingly, the attack didn't end yet. The Divine Slash still had enough energy to reach the second leg behind.
Once again, the ice froze the leg and the Divine Slash cut it down.
The spider didn't expect that it would suffer so many injuries when fighting against two Spirit Grandmasters.
The Divine Slash's size had been reduced significantly. Even when it hit the third leg, it only managed to cut the leg slightly before exhausting all its energy.
Anna sucked a cold breath. Noel actually managed to injure two of its legs and cut down another two when she struggled just to hurt one. This was the strength of the Spirit Transcendence.
However, she didn't have time to think.
After that attack, Noel collapsed to his knees and spat a mouthful of blood.
"Gueeh!" Noel placed his hand on his chest. He exerted a power that surpassed what a Spirit Grandmaster could utilize, so it caused heavy injury internally. In addition, he didn't have any more power left as his True Spirit Body was undone. Due to the side effects of the True Spirit Body, his injury became even more severe.
The spiders were still focusing on its injury, but the Superior Demons tried to use this chance to kill Noel, treating him as the highest threat as he was able to injure the Ancient Demon to that degree.
The two Superior Demons rushed toward him and the Grass Demon even summoned all the grass to create a prison for both him and Anna.
'This is not the time to be surprised. Noel's aim wasn't the spider, but its legs. With that injury, it shouldn't be able to follow us. This is our only chance to escape.'
Anna realized why Noel told her to conserve her energy. She hurriedly grabbed Noel from behind and carried him on her back.
She enveloped their bodies in lightning, using her fastest speed to escape from here.
