Chapter 479 Fighting A Spirit Master
"What did you say again?" Noel snorted, not scared against a Spirit Master like him at all even though he was stronger than the one he faced in the town.
There was a huge difference between the previous battle and this one. In the previous battle, he couldn"t use his Everchanging Sword Style and the Ice Ability.
Now that everything had been unleashed, there was nothing to stop him anymore.
The enemy was utterly shocked. He had seen Noel using a Fire Ability, but this time, he actually wielded an Ice Ability.
This was the first time he saw someone with two elements.
He sucked a cold breath emanating from the ice while gritting his teeth.
On the one hand, Noel was his enemy that he should kill. On the other hand, Noel had a rare talent to wield two elements at once.
He might have to capture Noel since his talent was so rare that it could go beyond this kingdom. As for whether they could turn Noel into one of them or not, it would be a problem for the organization as a whole.
He still believed Noel couldn"t go against him because of the difference in their strength.
But this was actually the situation Noel envisioned in his mind. With his opponent being unable to kill him, Noel could go all out to a certain degree until the enemy felt his life in great danger and chose to kill him instead. This was the reason why he chose to fight a bit further from the rest since his talent couldn"t be revealed yet.
His enemy suddenly lowered his spear and turned it back to a sword. At the same time, he pulled out another sword from his waist. A chain made of Spiritual Energy connected the two swords at the back of the handles.
Noel knew he had to unleash everything in order to find an opportunity to kill him. He had used his Ice Infusion earlier, but it seemed that the Spirit Master reacted better than he originally expected since it only left a wound on his cheek.
He leaped forth while covering his sword with Spiritual Energy.
The enemy seemed to be focusing on his blade as if wondering what kind of element Noel planned to use next.
This was a dual element advantage. Normally, it would be beneficial if the two elements complemented each other since they could boost each other to a whole different level.
But Noel"s elements were the exact opposite. The fire and ice would neutralize each other.
Still, the one who used these two elements was Noel. These two conflicting elements actually suited him the most, especially with the fire being the strongest he had ever seen.
Noel first released his ice element. The Ice Infusion was used again.
Now that he was aware of Noel"s two elements, the guy instantly recognized the freezing energy from that Spiritual Energy.
He hurriedly poured more Spiritual Energy into the tip of his blade and struck Noel"s blade.
*Clink!*
Their swords clashed for a split second. Noel had left his Ice Element there and it was about to erupt to strike his neck this time.
However, the guy released a burst of Spiritual Energy on the sword"s edge, spreading it to create a shield.
The ice emerged, but because of the shield"s surface, it couldn"t penetrate the blade and ended up spreading on the shield"s surface.
With the left sword blocking Noel"s attack, he used his right sword to hit Noel on the knee.
Noel glanced down. As he expected, the guy intended to subdue him instead of killing him. It was proven by how the guy spread the Spiritual Energy in the way he formed a club instead of a sharp blade.
Noel also used his Everchanging Emotion Sword Style. But instead of using the Disgust to turn his blade into the same bat, he used Fear to increase his speed.
In that instant, it felt like his swing blinked for a split second as it struck down the blade, planting it on the ground.
"!!!" The guy shuddered when he saw the speed. It was for an instant, but this was extremely dangerous for his life since a single cut to his neck was what Noel needed to kill him.
He knew that even if he was a Spirit Wielder, his talent and current ability were beyond his level.
With that thought in mind, he forgot Noel"s current strength and treated him as an equal.
He kicked Noel in the stomach, which was blocked by Noel"s blade.
"…" They were at a complete standstill for a while before the guy spun his body and kicked Noel with the other foot.
Noel clicked his tongue and took it head-on, only to get pushed back. He hurriedly covered his sword with fire and slashed downwards, releasing a crescent-shaped fire wave.
Sword Fire.
The guy pointed the blade at each other. Then, the blades seemed to be multiplied by his ability, creating a wall that received the fire wave.
The fire burned the wall. As one would expect from the Undying Fire, it started melting the wall the moment the fire touched it.
However, the wall had done its job well as it protected its owner.
The enemy looped around the wall and struck Noel from the right. Noel tried to gather enough Spiritual Energy for his Ignition Sword, but the enemy didn"t give Noel enough time.
He had reached Noel and struck him with his blade.
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
*Clink!*
A series of clicking sounds echoed. In just five seconds, they clashed their blades twenty times.
Noel jumped back while furrowing his eyebrows. Although he could match the enemy"s speed, he was forced to use his Fear Emotion.
"Tsk. I guess I could reach the situation I like, but not everything goes according to the plan." Noel complained inwardly, knowing that the enemy was calmer than he wanted. He thought he could make the enemy angry by provoking him with the help of the gap between their strength. But the enemy was able to maintain his calm.
Noel took a deep breath, coming up with another plan to catch the enemy off guard and end him in one strike.
