System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1651: Last Order

"True Spirit Body!"

They widened their eyes with a smile. They succeeded in forcing Noel into a corner. This meant they had a high chance of winning.

Noel's True Spirit Body, however, was much more overbearing than any other True Spirit Body they had faced so far.

Even Alexander's True Spirit Body was not this powerful.

Noel had combined with Ardagan and become a new entity that was not entirely human nor spirit. Thanks to it, his elements could achieve true fusion. This also affected the True Spirit Body directly.

Noel formed two pairs of blue wings. The upper pair had a black shade, while the bottom pair had a pure blue color, representing their respective original elements.

Then, a blue crown appeared on top of his head. A few burning ice crystals appeared around him.

Noel's appearance had become even more ethereal compared to his previous True Spirit Body.

The energy coming out of his body even made the two demon kings feel dread.

The land demon king bit his lip. 'This power… How can he grow so much? This power is closer to the world guardian's from one thousand years ago…'

The sky demon king squinted his eyes. 'Thanks to the guardian of the world, this world was safe from us, but for some reason, the guardian of the world disappeared, which allowed us to enter this world.

'If not for that, there was no way the demons could actually achieve this much. And this time, Noel Ardagan has the power surpassing that of Alexander Ardagan and has gone closer and closer to that guardian.

'If we lose here, there is no one who can rival him anymore. He might even become the next guardian of the world…'

Both demon kings knew what was at stake. They couldn't afford to let Noel win even if they had to die.

Unlike the Supreme Devil, they were demon kings, so they could control their berserk states to a certain extent.

They took advantage of this boost of power to attack Noel at the same time, testing the power he gained from his True Spirit Body.

Noel released his element to the limit this time. A massive ice crystal formed and burst, letting out a chilling flame from the inside.

The flame continued to spread and froze an entire battlefield, including their attacks.

"!!!" The land demon king was surprised. Back then, Alexander Ardagan could cut down a mountain in a single slash. His descendant might be able to freeze several mountains at once.

Still, the two demon kings weren't that easy to defeat.

Their attacks might be frozen for a bit, but they channeled even more energy to let their power shatter the ice and continued toward Noel.

Noel was the one taking the initiative this time. He flew forward and sliced through their residual power.

His first target was the one he injured the most, the land demon king.

"!!!" The land demon king hurriedly swung his sword.

The collision between two swords created enough pressure to shatter the ice field.

Then, the sky demon king approached Noel from behind, gathering all his energy into one strike.

Noel's eyes turned bloodshot as he applied more power to his attack this time.

"Not good." The land demon king realized it a bit too late. Noel actually overpowered him and cut his arm.

But this also meant allowing the sky demon king to attack him without any defense.

Noel used his other hand to swing an ice sword, but the sky demon king's wind shattered this force as his talon hit Noel's chest.

"Gah!" Noel spat a mouthful of blood as the wind blew him to the ground.

"Are you all right?" The sky demon king asked.

"I'm fine." The land demon king nodded, using his remaining hand to hold the sword. "It looks like he is doing whatever he can to injure us as much as possible, if not killing at least one of us with him."

The sky demon king had to agree. Since he knew he was at a disadvantage, the best he could do was drag them with him.

That was why he chose to cut the land demon king's hand earlier.

Now that they had figured out Noel's desperate struggle, they had no choice but to play along.

"Since one of us has to sacrifice, we will leave it to luck. We will try to survive, but there's no retreating or scheming." The sky demon king spoke.

The land demon king nodded. "We have a deal. But this time, it's your turn to take his attack first."

The sky demon king agreed and immediately dove.

Noel swept the area with his wings before raising his sword. "Divine Slash!"

"Heaven Wings!" The sky demon king unleashed all the winds he had, but they were sliced through by the Divine Slash.

The sky demon king clicked his tongue and threw his body to the side, but the Divine Slash cut his left leg and his left wing.

At the same time, the land demon king had arrived at his side and swung his blade.

Noel hurriedly shifted his body to the side, but he couldn't muster any power that could stop this slash.

Noel used both hands to stop it physically, but he ended up getting pushed back a hundred meters as the sword slash overpowered him and hit his chest, creating a wound that stretched from his right shoulder to his left waist.

"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth and dropped to one knee, using his sword to support himself.

The two demon kings smiled. The victory was within their grasp. This was their opportunity to kill Noel. In just a couple more exchanges, they could win.

The sky demon king glared at the land demon king, telling him to go first this time.

The land demon king didn't hesitate to charge forth.

Noel let out a heavy breath. His wound was already pretty deep. If this continued, he would definitely die sooner than the two demon kings.

"Ardagan… Do you remember my last order?"
