System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1112 Noel vs Spider (1)

Noel swung his sword downward, releasing tremendous power from the tip of his sword.

Even the spider had no choice but to turn its head around, changing its target. She saw a similar sword strike that once cut down two of her legs. Knowing that Noel had become even stronger, she couldn't underestimate Noel anymore.

The spider shot out its poison ray.

Noel's sword strike flared up as if it were meeting the poison head-on. The moment the two were about to clash, ice began to form around the Divine Slash.

Just like the previous clash, the ice suddenly erupted, freezing the poison.

Unfortunately for Noel, the Ancient Demon Spider's poison was much stronger than the ice, especially since Noel hadn't used his True Spirit Body.

Both ice and poison were neutralizing each other, so the energy within the sword strike and the poison ray clashed with each other, producing a massive shock wave.

Roar!

Roar!

The demons around were feeling scared by the intensity of this clash, especially those who had never witnessed Noel and the spider's battle.

The sword strike split the ray into two, but eventually it lost its power before reaching the spider. The spider had also exhausted all the energy it stored earlier.

"…" Noel furrowed his eyebrows. Even though he had only managed to release 50% of the true power of the Divine Slash, it was considered his strongest attack. Yet, it didn't seem enough to injure the spider.

Unlike the previous battle, the spider wouldn't underestimate him anymore.

'Ha… This is really not good. Because Ardagan is not with me, I am still not that spider's equal unless I use my True Spirit Body,' thought Noel while gathering his energy on his palm. 'Anyway, since the spider has used his poison ray, it should be fine if I use my Spirit Fusion Ability, right?'

"Ice Transformation!" Noel activated his transformation. To kill the demons around him, he didn't need the True Spirit Body. In fact, if he used this trump card easily, the spider could simply order the demons to exhaust him first.

The spider didn't know what Noel was planning to do. She had three options. First, she should stick to Noel, who was clearly trying to challenge her. Secondly, she could maintain a distance and kept charging for the poison ray until Noel reached her. Or lastly, she should control the other demons and maneuver them around to defeat both Noel and Anna.

After seeing the option, the spider knew one thing. Noel shouldn't fall for the third option, so the spider began to gather the spiritual energy again in its mouth while observing Noel's reaction. If Noel did something, she might have to stick close to him so that she could stop him.

And Noel actually forced her to make a decision the moment the spiritual energy in his palm reached a certain threshold.

"!!!" The spider noticed that fluctuation and realized what Noel was doing.

Without hesitation, the spider jumped into the air, planning to stab Noel to death with her long legs.

"Too late!" Noel released his ability first before the spider could land on the ground.

"Eternal Frozen."

The Eternal Frozen was supposed to release a chilling mist that could freeze things around Noel. But Noel turned it into his Spirit Fusion Ability so that it changed the way the ability was released.

Instead of mist, the Spirit Fusion Ability created a chilling gale that instantly froze the soil and anything standing on top of it within a hundred meters.

The roses began to bloom once again, but before they exploded, the ancient demon spider landed on top of Noel, slamming her entire weight into the ground.

The eight legs pierced through the ground and caused the ground to vibrate. That vibration was so hard that it cracked the roses, ultimately leading to their eruptions.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The roses killed more than three hundred demons even though they were prematurely destroyed by the spider. The latter had even sent forth some spiritual energy from her pores to lessen the damage.

"Tsk. As expected of the spider…" Noel clicked his tongue. Just like how he managed to block the poison ray, the spider also managed to reduce the casualty. "I should have killed more than half of them with that alone. She reduces it to only a fifth…"

The spider lifted up its body so that she could point her spinnerets at Noel.

However, the spider was still too big for Noel, causing that web to take some time to reach Noel. During that time, Noel spun his body, using his Circular Sword Strike.

Due to the Spirit Fusion Ability, the demons' movements were sluggish. They were trying to resist the cold.

Unfortunately for them, the Circular Sword Strike ended up splitting them into two. The spider released a bit more spiritual energy to neutralize the sword strike, but it still managed to kill more than five hundred demons near him.

After that, Noel turned his head to the spinneret, finding the incoming web. He waved his hand up as if he were trying to lift up something.

"Ice Wave!"

An ice crystal emerged from the ground. This crystal then summoned a total of three ice crystals in front of it. After that, the three crystals produced the same amount of crystal but added one crystal on the left and right. It continued producing similar patterns, eventually turning into a fan-shaped pattern.

In addition, each summoned crystal was bigger than the previous one, forming an ice slope.

When the web touched this ice, it failed to actually melt the ice like before. Instead, the ice was the one freezing the web this time.

The spider still continued to produce the web, so it gradually overwhelmed the ice.

But during that time, Noel simply left the area, avoiding the web entirely.

He released the Sword Transmutation to kill another one hundred demons on his path.

The spider hurriedly moved two front legs, surrounding Noel from the two sides. Due to their size, it felt like he was being slammed by two giant towers.

Noel took a deep breath.

There was an ability that he could use to stop the two legs while striking back at the spider.

"Three Purity Swords."
