Chapter 1106 Advancing to Spirit Transcendence
Noel was sitting on the ground with a bunch of demon crystals in front of him.
"Are you ready?" Anna asked while unsheathing her blade. They had killed all the surrounding demons, but there was still a possibility that a demon would attack here.
"Yeah." Noel nodded as he gradually closed his eyes.
His hands reached for the demon crystals and began to absorb them.
Noel could feel the fullness of his spiritual energy reserve, but he continued to absorb more spiritual energy until the very limit.
The spiritual energy from Noel's body started leaking, a sign that he had gathered enough power. Absorbing more would just cause the spiritual energy in his body to get pushed out.
This leaking spiritual energy was different from normal spiritual energy. It had been dyed in Noel's color as a Spirit Grandmaster.
The spiritual energy was carried by the wind and started flying to the west.
It would take a few minutes, but the demons were very sensitive to the spiritual energy. The moment they sensed this abnormal spiritual energy, they became alert.
Aoo!
Roar!
The demons started communicating to each other, which eventually brought attention to the overlord of their area.
Anna wasn't aware of their presence just yet, but she had expected that there would be trouble following the breakthrough. Hence, she sharpened her instinct, picking all dangerous signs from the entire area.
On the other hand, Noel continued to absorb the spiritual energy even though the excess energy was leaking from his body.
Anna was confused at first, but Noel's body suddenly underwent a change. There was a small ice shell covering his lower left arm, which continued expanding.
'Is that... a shell?' Anna furrowed her eyebrows. 'No. It's like a scale...'
However, it seemed that this burst of energy was a must. As his body was releasing that energy, Anna could sense that the part that released the most energy was actually his back.
The ice wing formed very slowly as if it were being integrated as a part of his body instead of a skill.
'Is this what it means for synchronization?' Anna thought. 'From the record that Grandfather and Sword Arbiter gave, the synchronization is a part where the human acts like a spirit, and the spirit acts like a human.
'Doesn't this look like merging? No. Looking at our transcendent path... we are utilizing our power differently. The record said that if we are charging spiritual energy, the spirits will do the same, allowing us to release our power twice as fast.
'However, our transcendent isn't like that. We separate the energy, elements and other things to cause a burst that involves nature in the process. Well, the record comes from the peak of Spirit Grandmaster, so it might not be accurate. Still, the spirit seal is supposed to undergo a transformation as well...'
She realized that the record they currently had was a bit unreliable. Still, this was just the beginning, so there might still be other things happening on Noel's body.
For the time being, he had to focus on the incoming demons.
Roar!
The Superior Demon let out a roar, commanding the demons to charge forward to take down their opponents.
Before Anna could take them on, she could sense hundreds of demons coming from the south and north. It seemed that they were lured by the burst of energy Noel was currently releasing.
Fortunately, they came from the east, so they had cleaned up that area better than others. There was no demon coming from the east... or so she thought.
The one picking up Noel's spiritual energy wasn't just any demon. It was a demon located far east... yes, the one they had to escape from, the Ancient Demon Spider.
The Ancient Demon Spider, who was still shedding its exoskeleton, picked up the faint spiritual energy.
Even though it couldn't move currently, the spider sent a signal to the superior demons under him.
And all these superior demons woke up from their slumbers to lead thousands of demons according to the spider's instructions.
Roar!
