Chapter 1094 1094. Spells
"Where is your bestiality?!" Sword Saint exclaid as he curved his finger to launch a slash. Another slash was coming in his direction, and the two attacks clashed mid-air.
Noah saw his attack losing against the expert’s copy. Sword Saint’s slash crossed his ethereal figure without doing any harm before dispersing on his ntal walls.
That was the training thod decided by Sword Saint. Noah had to launch attacks that the expert copied in their purest form. He then also listed the weaknesses of Noah’s slash to instruct him.
The idea behind that training was to force Noah to express every aspect of his individuality in his slashes. He had refused to abandon his other paths, so he needed to fuse all of them into his sword.
That was easier than done. Whenever Noah focused on his destruction, he failed to add his creation. Whenever he minded only his sharpness, he forgot about his bestiality.
Sword Saint’s attacks couldn’t copy Noah’s individuality completely. There were so aspects that he could only try to imitate since he lacked understanding in those paths.
The issue was harsher when it ca to Noah’s beast side. Sword Saint could perform slashes that relied on brute strength, but they didn’t co close to Noah’s iconic attacks.
Still, Noah didn’t have to imitate the expert’s attacks. He only needed to learn and take inspiration from them. Everything else was up to him and his ability to push that path forward.
Noah called upon his pride and used all the physical strength that he could imagine to slash toward the immobile opponent. He didn’t forget to follow the specific forms learnt during the enlightennts, so his blow had so grace too.
A thick slash flew out of his ethereal sword. Sharpness ca out of its shape and broke the water inside the ntal sea. Yet, small dark spots ford on its surface after that destruction.
"Better!" Sword Saint exclaid before curving his forefinger again. A similar thick slash shot from his hand and clashed with the incoming attack before piercing it to fly toward Noah.
The expert’s slash dispersed after it crossed Noah’s ghostly figure. The sa outco had occurred, but Noah felt his excitent building up anyway.
Noah could feel his existence improving as that training continued. That process forced his individuality to converge into a slash, pushing his being together like never before.
His body had harmonized his many features before, but that process was different. It involved laws, and it was more connected to what Noah expressed rather than focusing on his species.
"What did I do wrong this ti?" Noah asked. His slash had lost against an imitation, so he had to improve it.
"Intensity," Sword Saint answered. "You still think before attacking. This affects the power that you can express. Everything must co naturally. This slash must beco your starting point once you manage to bring every aspect of your existence out."
Sword Saint ant that Noah needed more training. He had to turn his best slash in his weakest and start improving from that base. The path in front of him was still long, but he had a direction, and the guidance of a divine will now.
Luckily for Noah, the training sessions with the Divine Cut had beco shorter after Sword Saint’s will materialized. The battles inside his ntal sphere lasted as if they were fights in the outside world, so he never spent more than a few days there.
Noah depleted almost all his ntal energy in every session anyway, but he could spend more ti on his traditional training and many projects after he rested.
There was one particular project that bugged him. No matter how hard he tried, he didn’t manage to copy the light elent with the dark matter.
It seed that his higher energy was utterly incapable of reproducing that elent. The more he tried to modify it to succeed in his task, the more the dark matter lost power.
Noah had begun to think that it was against his higher energy’s nature to beco that elent. Still, he wasn’t ready to give up on the project yet.
After all, he had already thought of a spell that made use of all his copied elents. In theory, its effects would make him ignore most of the limitations brought by his low level among the powerhouses.
Other projects proceeded well instead. Noah had to keep his diagrams in their original state while he focused on ditating next to the Divine Cut, but he had ti for them now.
His new state as a rank 6 mage and his incredible body allowed him to go past his spells’ original purposes. Noah didn’t need to abide by the creators’ initial intentions anymore and could push their core ideas on a path that suited him.
Noah could keep many old spells, and he could even recover so of those abandoned in the past. The limitations on their power didn’t matter anymore since he rebuilt them in his mind.
That project led to many side projects since he had to treat every spell differently. There were cases where he could even fuse a few of them, but that led to difficulties.
It was hard to fuse two core ideas into a greater one without damaging their intensity. Noah had to test that process many tis before understanding that he had to change his approach.
Noah had never learnt how to create diagrams from nothing because his expertise brought him on different paths. Yet, he could use wills to obtain similar effects.
Noah had already done sothing similar in the past. Translating diagrams into wills so that he could modify them had allowed him to improve many spells during his journey across the heroic ranks.
He didn’t do the sa when he beca a rank 6 mage because of both worlds’ many events, but nothing stopped him now.
Moreover, he wanted to improve that procedure too. Noah wasn’t satisfied with wills that depleted themselves once "Breath" triggered their effects. He wanted sothing lasting.
The Will-devouring runes ca in his help at that point. With a mixture of strong wills and his three energies, Noah could create runes that replicated spells once fueled with darkness.
They were different from the Kesier runes. Noah had to imrse them inside the ntal sea because they needed constant contact with his ntal energy.
Those runes were far from perfect, but Noah felt that he was finally learning sothing he had desired since he was a human cultivator. He was finalizing his thod to create spells!
Many runes started to fill the ntal sea. Noah added one spell after another to his arsenal. They couldn’t express his full power since they didn’t involve his body, but his battle style would gain so variety.
There were too many eyes on him now. Every powerhouse had developed counterasures to his iconic attacks. Improving his abilities wasn’t enough. Noah needed more of them to compete in that realm.
That eventually led to the biggest problem. One of Noah’s strongest spells was the Demonic Form, but it seed that all the world had developed counterasures against its corrosive effects.
Night could exploit it to express its power, but that didn’t make his corrosive smoke more useful. Noah had used the spell only to enhance his body and as a form of protection in the last battles.
The Demonic Form was peculiar among spells. It had a strange form that grew according to the number of Kesier runes inside a ntal sphere.
That was one of the reasons why Noah had never attempted to modify it. It appeared too complicated for him, and he didn’t want to risk ruining his greatest asset.
However, he was in the last stage of the heroic ranks now. His Divine Deduction technique had rank 6 ntal energy as a fuel, and his dark star pushed his abilities far beyond their normal limits.
It was ti to improve the Demonic Form, and the Black Mark spell seed perfect for his needs.
