System vs Rebirth

"Welcome back, Partner."

Anna turned her head, wondering if she had misheard or something.

Noel waved his hand while saying, "Incetta. Go inform the admiral that we'll be fighting against those three heavenly disasters."

"What are you doing? It's reckless." Anna couldn't believe it. Even Rui shared the same opinion. No matter how good Noel was, it was simply too reckless.

However, Noel continued, "Bring the admiral and the spirit masters… No, all the spirit grandmasters here. Ask them to kill as many demons as possible.

"Anna, you will take the one coming from the left. I will be fighting against the remaining ancient demons. Rui, your job is to kill as many demons as possible. In this case, I might have to ask you to use your full strength to kill them."

Rui was stunned while Anna complained, "Fighting two of them at the same time? It's too reckless…"

Noel simply looked at Anna with a solemn expression. "Look at me. Do you think I'm out of my mind when suggesting this?"

Anna's body shook a bit.

To avoid making her more worried, he simply said, "Well, it's been a while since I was this fired up." Your next journey awaits at empire

Noel stretched his hand as a black flame appeared on top of his palm.

'Black flame? Doesn't he have an ice element?' Rui was stunned.

"Ah! That's…" Anna gasped. "Ardagan…"

"Yeah. That's why you don't have to worry about me." Noel smiled. "Leave those two ancient demons to me. I will defeat them. I promise."

Anna fell silent. Ardagan was extremely strong, especially compared to the ice spirit Noel had.

In addition, this was Noel's main sword. There might be a change in Noel's body, considering he had become half spirit due to Ardagan.

That was why there was a high chance Noel would be winning.

"I understand." Anna sighed. "If you die, I will kill you."

Noel chuckled. Rui didn't expect Anna to agree. However, it didn't seem Anna was someone rash. There must be something that she didn't know about this black flame.

Hence, Rui nodded her head. "I understand. I will kill as many of them as possible. If we are able to kill as many of them as possible today, I don't mind using my True Spirit Body. After all, all four heavenly disasters have died, which means there's no need to prepare for something else.

Noel nodded. "Yes."

Incetta looked worried. After all, she had never seen him with Ardagan. The first time they met was when Noel was seeking a weapon.

However, Vivi obviously recognized this black flame.

She said, "Incetta. Let's go. Trust him and Ardagan. There's no need to worry anymore."

"Ardagan? Who is he?" Incetta was confused.

"I will tell you later."

Incetta thought for a moment and ultimately chose to believe in Vivi. She turned around, ready to inform the admiral. Before they left, Noel said, "Vivi. Ardagan says hello."

Vivi couldn't help but smile. Still, they didn't turn back.

The black flame in Noel's hand started to form a sword as several system panels appeared.

[Recovering Completed.]

[Rebooting the system.]

[It's been a while, Master.]

Noel smiled. As the rebooting completed, Ardagan fully formed in his hand.

The divine sword once again appeared in this world.

[I have noticed that you have recovered a lot of treasures. I notice the presence of my scabbard, but it doesn't seem you brought it with you right now. I have also noticed several items related to me, but they're not with you.]

"I'm sorry. I don't bring them with me on this expedition because I don't know you will be appearing here."

[It's understandable. Still, to think that you would be near the headband.]

"Yes. She will be joining us after this. We have recovered the Wheel of Destiny. Layla has the ring. All that is left is the jade. We can talk about it later, since I also have a lot of questions."

[Indeed. In that case, I will be giving you everything you need.]

[Completing the fusion.]

[Unlocking a new form of True Spirit Body.]

"A new form?"

[Yes. Due to your body merging with mine, you have become a half spirit. In other words, it's basically half of me using the True Spirit Body instead of you. As a result, the True Spirit Body might be different from what you know.]

"Is it stronger?"

[A dumb question.]

"Hahaha." Noel grinned. "Still, with me being half spirit and half human, can't you just activate the True Spirit Body using your own body, or the spirit body, while I activate Heisk's True Spirit Body with my human body?"

[That's a possibility, but I have never tried it with your ancestor, so I don't know if it's going to work or not. Hence, it's better to try it later. You might have to train your body further if you want to do that.]

"Got it. Well, our opponents will be those two ancient demons. Are you up for it?"

[A pointless question. We will destroy them.]

"It seems you have changed, Ardagan. You are bolder now."

[I just believe there's no need to hold back anymore. You and I are now one.]

"Fair enough." Noel looked at his surroundings. He could hear Anna and Rui had begun their attacks.

The ancient demons were also coming closer. If he didn't start soon, the two ancient demons would come for Rui.

"Although there is a lot to catch up on, I guess we have to focus on the matter at hand. We'll kill the ancient demons first and talk later. Lend me your power."

[Yes.]

"In that case, let's start, shall we, Partner?"

[Yes. Unleash me.]

Noel smiled. The energy around him flared up as the fire was gushing out of his body, turning into a giant blaze that burned everything to ashes.

The demons seemed to feel the extraordinary flame, noticing how different Noel was compared to the other two. They instinctively shifted their directions.

And that was when the flame erupted as Noel muttered, "True Spirit Body."
