System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1652: Spirit Sovereignty

Noel knew that the end was approaching. Both demon kings wouldn't want to prolong the battle anymore, and neither would he.

If the battle lasted at least fifteen to thirty minutes longer, the damage might become something they regretted.

Still, their battle had lasted for over five hours. Noel had the need to make it this long since he wanted his people to have the time to win instead of worrying about him.

On the other hand, the demon kings also believed in their army. If their army broke through and wreaked havoc on Noel's land, they would distract Noel in battle, and there would be plenty of chances to strike him down.

Noel took a deep breath. Since the two demon kings planned to end this, Noel released all the energy he could muster.

"!!!" The two demon kings instinctively knew that Noel planned to end this fight in the next several clashes.

Since that was the case, they steeled their resolve as well.

The land demon king raised his sword. Since this was his turn to attack first, he had to make sure he didn't die from this strike and let the sky demon king sacrifice himself in the next attack.

The land demon king gathered all his demonic king path into his sword and charged forward. "Die, Noel Ardagan!"

Noel rushed toward the demon king and struck with his blade.

Their clash caused the ground within several hundred meters in radius to crack. They used everything they could to overpower the other.

However, the land demon king noticed something.

Before he could do anything, the sky demon king approached Noel from behind and punched forward, channeling the torrential wind to swallow Noel whole.

"Wait! This is a trap!" The land demon king shouted as he overpowered Noel and pushed him back.

Noel actually didn't go all out in the previous attack. He used only 30% of his power, which was not enough to stop the land demon king's attack.

Thanks to this power, the demonic king path burst and hit Noel's body as if there were a thousand swords slicing him at once.

Noel actually withstood this damage by changing his medals as well as Rune Body. He was pushed back by the land demon king, which made him closer to the sky demon king.

Noel spat a mouthful of blood, but he soon grinned and turned his body around.

"!!!" The sky demon king was dumbfounded. Noel's true target was not the land demon king. It was him.

"You…" The sky demon king released his attack so that he could get away as soon as possible.

To his surprise, Noel took out an executioner rune card. They thought he had used up all the rune cards, but Noel had actually kept one hidden the whole time.

He just wanted them to think that way so that this rune card could make the difference here.

The executioner rune clashed with the wind for at least two seconds without needing Noel's energy.

In other words, Noel could still use 70% of his energy to unleash this one strike.

"I got you…" Noel smiled.

"!!!" The sky demon king turned pale.

"Ardagan!"

Ardagan recalled the order he received from Noel. "Ardagan. I won't be able to win against two demon kings without a trick. But if I use too many tricks, they will get used to it.

"That's why I want to keep the biggest trick for the last exchange. I will receive one attack from them, so I want you to change my medals to the medals that boost my defense.

"Once it's done, I will launch a surprise attack on the other demon king and unleash everything I have. To do that, I need three medals to be there. The first one is the Swordsmanship X Medal, the Brutal Mind Medal, and the Demon Annihilator Medal."

Ardagan immediately executed his order, changing his medals to those three.

Noel couldn't help but remember how it all began. He was once a sheltered boy who got exiled to the Demon Banner Army.

He might have complained a lot, but he understood his situation and did his best to become better.

His strength had developed and become more varied. The swordsmanship, the elements, and the runes.

For this one strike, he wanted it to return to how it was in the beginning. He and Ardagan.

"Brother. Let's end this once and for all." Noel muttered as he swung his blade.

[Yes, Brother.]

For the first time, Ardagan responded to his call as a brother, not as his supporter. This was something they had never tested before, but this was the only strike that could change everything.

Noel smiled, feeling fired up. "Three Purity Swords."

Noel actually used the Three Purity Swords that were supposed to be weaker than the Divine Slash.

However, he combined the Three Purity Swords with the Divine Slash, so he would end up releasing three Divine Slashes at once.

But if he just used both of them, he wouldn't be able to kill the sky demon king. He needed something more. This was where his medal choice came into play.

Noel used the Mind Separation Technique to split his brain into two, but originally, there was only one.

Yes, Noel planned to combine the three Divine Slashes from the Three Purity Swords into one.

He needed the highest medal of swordsmanship to make it possible. In addition, he used the mind medal to strengthen his mind so that they could fuse together.

Noel used his element as a vessel for this new ability.

Last but not least, he activated the Demon Annihilator Medal to increase the damage dealt to the demon king.

Noel held his sword as tightly as possible as the pressure coming from combining three slashes into one broke his bones.

Still, Noel persisted and completed his swing. "Spirit Sovereignty."

"NOO!" Both demon kings shouted, fully understanding what kind of power Noel had just unleashed.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do as he unleashed this one slash.

The blue sword slash erupted both to the ground and to the sky.

The sky looked as if it had been split into two, stretching for over 10 kilometers.

The ground had become a bottomless abyss.

The fire erupted and pulverized everything in its path, including the sky demon king, whose body was first split in two before getting incinerated until not even his ashes remained.
