System vs Rebirth

Noel sat down inside his tent, looking at the pile of demon crystals.

If he absorbed all the crystals he had, becoming a Spirit Master shouldn't be a problem. But before he became one, he had to confirm two things. The first was his status.

Name: Noel Ardagan

Job: Rune Swordsman

Weapon: Ardagan Sword

Main Medal: Demon Hunter Medal (Sensing all demons within 50 meters)

Honor Point: 120 Pts

Skill Point: 8 Pts

Advanced Quality Crystal - 365/1500

Peak Quality Crystals - 1/1000

Superior Crystals - 0/750

"…"

Noel looked at his status carefully. He had truly gone a long way to the point he almost forgot that the number of crystals he could absorb was twice that of normal people. And the fact that he had a hundred percent conversion rate meant he would be able to reach the next level far easier than anyone else.

"It's crazy that I have almost filled my Low Quality Crystal if I don't have two spirits since the maximum capacity is only 2,500 crystals.

"Then again, I have to absorb a lot of crystals again if I want to reach the Spirit Master Stage."

Noel knew that he had the biggest advantage, considering he could fill up another 2,500 Low Level Crystals than normal people. It might not be apparent right now, but when he became a Spirit Grandmaster, the difference would start to show.

Normally, most Spirit Grandmasters should have completely filled up their Low, Mid, and High Rank Demon Crystals capacity. So, it would be hard for them to advance.

Though, Noel was essentially built differently with this kind of capacity.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 He might be able to reach Spirit Transcendence and become toe-to-toe with the commander or even reach one step further, the Spirit King.

"Still, I have to carefully move around to fill up my reserve. After all, they might start suspecting me if I buy a lot of demon crystals, especially the low and mid level ones to absorb when I'm supposed to have maxed the capacity."

Noel sighed. He knew that talents were a good thing to have, but too much talent would just bring destruction. So, his talent might not be as good as Anna without the help of Ardagan, but he felt a bit happy that he could reach a stage beyond what Anna would reach in the future.

Noel smiled. "Before I start absorbing the crystals, I'm going to review the knowledge about the Spirit Master first. There is a different name for the Spirit Wielder to Spirit Grandmaster. The Spirit Wielder is the realm of Efficiency. In other words, once someone reaches this rank, their bodies have adapted to the Spiritual Energy, allowing them to move the energy around quicker and easier.

"But once someone reaches the Spirit Master, they will gain another advantage. After all, Spirit Master is known as the realm of Assimilation.

"In other words, the body not only has adapted to the presence of Spiritual Energy, but starts to create harmony. And with the help of the Spirit Link, I can act like half spirit. I can imitate how the spirits use their power.

"My senses will also become sharper and I will be able to see the Spiritual Energy itself. Only when I reach the Spirit Grandmaster, the realm of Fusion, that I can go one step further.

"But for now, I'm going to focus on assimilation…" Noel took a deep breath.

It might look like someone could easily break through to Spirit Wielder, Spirit Master, or even Spirit Grandmaster as long as they had enough Demon Crystals. But that wasn't the case.

One had to train their body as well. After all, the Spiritual Energy might affect the cell in their body, but if they didn't train their body, which resulted in their cell becoming stronger to withstand the influx of new energy, it would lead them to their death.

"I believe I have trained my body enough. And pouring more energy into my body and organs will put them under tremendous pressure. I have to endure this since my body has to be active to endure the integration… If not, I might die."

Noel took a deep breath. No matter how prepared he was, he was still a bit afraid since he didn't know his future. Still, he had to face it.

There were many people waiting for him. Dimitri, Rose, Anna, the children, his future people… he had to survive if he wanted to meet them again.

With the determination reflected in his eyes, Noel reached out to the demon crystals and started absorbing the energy.

Just like usual, absorbing the demon crystals took a lot of effort. First, the influx of Spiritual Energy would fuse with the element of the spirit. Since Noel had two elements, fire and ice, The chilling energy spread from Heisk's Spirit Mark and the burning energy filled the body from Ardagan's Spirit Mask.

These two different energies collided with each other. The heat was burning Noel from the inside, making him feel like all the water in his body was evaporating. The cold froze a part of his body, causing it to either stop working or slow down.

He would have to stop from time to time to recover from his condition. But Noel had two supportive spirits.

Ardagan and Heisk joined hands to clash their energy. The chilling temperature from Heisk's energy tried to take away the heat from Ardagan's energy, while the latter tried to warm Noel so that he didn't freeze to death.

This way, Noel could continue absorbing the demon crystals for a much longer time than anyone else in the world.

Noel felt that the energy reserve located in his heart was expanding rapidly. The size was only a portion of his heart earlier. But after a few hours, its size became a third of the heart and gradually grew.

He felt like it would have the size of his heart once he reached the Spirit Master Level.

Rose and Dimitri didn't know Noel's progress as they kept standing outside the tent, waiting for Noel to finish. They hoped that Noel would come out soon, considering they didn't know that Noel had two spirits that helped him absorb more energy before the need to recover.
