System vs Rebirth

Chapter 994 Decisive Moment (12)

?[Do you need a True Spirit Body?]

Noel raised his eyebrows, not expecting the Ardagan to come to him like this. Still, he had to fight these two, so he couldn't get too distracted.

'Yes. Are you going to give me the True Spirit Body?' Noel asked while watching the Spear Devil Saint come from the right.

[It's Heisk.]

'Is she done?'

[Not yet, but I can bring her back. The situation seems to be much more awful than you predict, so I'm thinking about bringing Heisk back to lend her True Spirit Body.]

'Won't that be a problem for Heisk? Will something happen to her?' Noel treated his spirits as his partners, so he didn't like the idea that he got an advantage over their sacrifices.

However, Ardagan seemed to have expected this response, as he immediately replied.

[Yes. She will be injured for a bit, but she can recover from that injury in three months. However, it will cause you to be unable to call Heisk for another six months. It causes her to require a lot more time to fully assimilate with her True Spirit Body.]

'This…' Noel frowned while parrying the Spear Devil Saint. Because of all the talking, he played a more defensive role. 'What about you? Can't you be the one to give me the True Spirit Body?'

[Without Heisk's True Spirit Body, receiving my True Spirit Body will reduce you to ashes.]

'…' Noel was speechless. It seemed that he didn't have any choice but to do everything by himself. There was no need to trouble Heisk.

[It seems that you are misunderstanding the whole thing. For a spirit, the True Spirit Body is their life-long dream. You have helped Heisk become a Humanoid Rank Spirit and even be granted the True Spirit Body by the Spirit God.]

[Not many Humanoid Rank Spirits receive this opportunity. So, originally, Heisk might be able to reach this stage, but there is a chance that she will never receive the True Spirit Body in her entire life.]

[That's why she is eternally grateful to you. If this kind of price is the only thing she need to pay to show her gratitude, she will gladly take it.]

'But still…' Noel bit his lips.

[The clock is ticking. If you don't choose now, you might lose that butler of yours.]

Noel seemed to have no other choice. Dimitri was approaching his limit. Even if he managed to defeat these two, he didn't know whether his current condition was able to stop Qiel or even create an opportunity for Dimitri or not.

'Fine. I will do it.' Noel's expression turned solemn. The two Devil Saints didn't know what was going on with Noel. But these expressions were enough for them to realize that Noel was having a hard time.

If they continued like this, they would definitely be able to defeat Noel.

The two Devil Saints exchanged nods as they approached Noel from both sides.

While waiting for Ardagan, Noel assessed the current situation to make sure that he didn't throw away this chance.

'Anna should be fine for the time being. Howard might not look like it, but he should be able to defeat his enemy. The other soldiers are in trouble, but they should do just fine. In that case, there is only one place I need to be.

'Dimitri's True Spirit Body is about to wear out. I'm sure that Qiel won't hesitate to kill Dimitri and use the remaining time to capture me. If I go there, I can stop her from killing Dimitri, but the problem is that… I have to fight Qiel and these two Devil Saints with the incomplete True Spirit Body.

'Still, this is better than nothing. Even if it's too weak, this should be enough for a bluff. If it's anyone else, they might not bite it, but since we're talking about Qiel, she would definitely overthink it.

'Although this sounds a bit reckless, I have to scare them away. The Two Devil Saints, huh?

Noel seemed to have come up with a plan. 'After scaring them like this, I won't be able to fight on the front lines for the rest of the war. It also includes Anna and Dimitri. In that case…'

Noel looked at the incoming Devil Saints. He waved his left hand toward the Transformation Devil Saint and sent forth his Undying Phoenix.

The Transformation Devil Saint stopped to avoid the phoenix while the Spear Devil Saint came from the other side, thrusting his spear.

Noel spun his body and struck his spear's handle to knock it to the ground, but the Spear Devil Saint noticed that the strength Noel put into his swing was much weaker than the first time.

He truly believed that Noel was going to be defeated sooner or later.

In that case, the Spear Devil Saint roared while waving his spear to show that he was stronger than him now.

Noel was launched into the air but still managed to land on the ground safely. The Transformation Devil Saint noticed that change and understood that the Spear Devil Saint wanted to tell him that it was time to attack.

Unbeknownst to them, Noel had been placing one trap after another. The direction in which he launched him had been calculated.

More importantly, the only thing he needed to do was buy time. It seemed that Ardagan worked fast to inform Heisk about the condition.

In just one minute, the help he was waiting for had arrived.

[Master.]

A woman's voice rang in his mind.

'Heisk?'

[Yes. I'm going to transfer the information about my True Spirit Body into your head through the mission. You might have to endure it while fighting these two.]

'Are you sure about this?'

[Yes, Master. Please allow me to repay you. And it's not just about me. You will also suffer the backlash from this incomplete True Spirit Body.]

'If you are ready, then I am ready.'

[I shall begin.]

At that moment, the system panel appeared.

[Mission: Heisk's Evolution III.]

[Description: Heisk will receive the True Spirit Body.]

[Reward: Heisk's True Spirit Body.]

The moment it was completed, the system seemed to be calculating everything that Noel had, especially his spiritual energy reserve.

In that instant, multiple missions appeared in front of him.

[Mission: Defeat the Demon Army.]

[Description: Exterminate the demons and repel the demon army from this land.]

[Reward: Demon Exterminator Medal.]

[Mission: Kill Sniper Devil Saint]

[Description: Kill Qiel, the brain of the Supreme Devil Organization.]

[Reward: An Advanced Rune (One Category of Choice).]

[Mission: Kill the Two Devil Saints.] Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

[Description: Show the newbie Devil Saints the strength of Noel Ardagan.]

[Reward: 2 Special Ardagan Sword Techniques.]

[Mission: Solve the hidden danger.]

[Description: There is an incoming hidden danger coming to the city. Protect the city.]

[Reward: Spirit Information Part 3.]

Although Noel wanted to look at all these missions, he had no time. In fact, the two Devil Saints wouldn't allow him to get that distracted even for a second.

Hence, Noel immediately pushed away all the missions and focused on the information that Heisk sent through the mission.

The completion of the mission allowed the system to impart the knowledge. It gave him everything he needed about the True Spirit Body.

Although the influx of information made his head feel hotter, he could still endure it while fighting against these two.

Even then, the Devil Saints took advantage of that moment of weakness to push Noel even further.

"Spear…" The Devil Saint stopped not far from Noel as he thrust his spear. "Overlord!"

Noel clicked his tongue, seeing the overbearing energy beam coming toward him.

Sword Transmutation.

Noel tried to split it in half, but he was in no condition to use the Everchanging Emotion Sword Style to boost his power. In the end, both of them neutralized each other.

Meanwhile, the Transformation Devil Saint came from above, trying to punch Noel. The latter managed to jump back to avoid it, but the punch shattered the ground.

Noel ended up using his wings to get away, which was a bit slower than the jump. The Transformation Devil Saint jumped forward, kicking Noel.

Fortunately, Noel blocked it with his sword, but the force still blew him away, forcing him to roll on the ground multiple times.

The two Devil Saints were thinking the same thing. Noel was finally weakened, so it was their time to attack. As long as they could kill or capture Noel, the war would definitely end.

Both of them were charging forward, not realizing that even though Noel was focused on defending, he was positioning himself between Dimitri and the Two Devil Saints. In other words, he had made sure that he was in the best location where he could interfere on both sides.

[The information has been fully transferred. Please call its name, Master.]

Noel made a big grin as his energy burst out of his body.

"What?!" The Two Devil Saints abruptly stopped after feeling the energy. "Is he still hiding this much energy?"

"No. This feels like something else!"

The Two Devil Saints saw the black wings on Noel's back disappear. Soon, four pairs of ice crystals hovered around his back and expanded, turning into four pairs of ice wings.

A golden crown appeared out of nowhere with a blue-colored jade on it. Noel's expression turned solemn and cold as if he was looking down at the world.

"True Spirit Body." Noel shouted as the wings flapped, releasing their true force. The temperature of the surrounding area dropped so dramatically that their breath started freezing. "Ice King Body."
