Chapter 1116 Noel vs Spider (5)
Noel had finally activated his True Spirit Body. He immediately closed the distance between them, causing the spider to focus on him again.
The spider was gathering some power in her mouth, but realizing that Noel would reach her before she was able to unleash another poison ray, the spider pointed its spinneret instead.
Noel pointed his palm forward. His Ice Mirror was one of his best defensive techniques aside from Snow Shield.
But there was a change in the way he wielded this technique after reaching a new level.
He was forming the ten mirrors gradually. The process looked so slow at first, but all of a sudden, the spiritual energy from the air entered the system, causing a burst of ice energy.
The ice energy expanded one mirror after another, turning them into giant blocks of ice that stretched for more than ten meters to each side.
The poisonous web broke one shield after another. Instead of escaping, Noel was actually standing behind these mirrors.
He used those giant mirrors to take out several rune cards and toss them into the air before moving again.
The seven rune cards contained Meteor Rune on them. Those Meteor Runes were launched into the sky like a giant boulder thrown by a catapult.
Roar!
Roar!
The remaining demons warned the spider. At the same time, they were trying to shoot down the lumps of spiritual energy in the sky.
Their efforts were not futile. Two out of seven meteors were destroyed by them, but the spider still had to take on the remaining five meteors.
Meteor Rune wasn’t that dangerous for the spider, but it was different when Noel was already waiting for them, ready to unleash his ice element and merge it with those meteors.
Each injured leg took down one meteor. It was surprising that Noel didn’t actually merge his ice elements into these meteors, so the spider got a bit greedy, using the two legs to sweep the remaining meteors. This was just a distraction, the spider thought.
But the moment she approached the remaining three meteors, Noel immediately activated the ice elements.
Boom!
Boom!
The meteors exploded and fused with the ice elements, covering the spider legs in ice.
“!!!” The Ancient Demon Spider instantly realized what Noel was planning to do. Exploding the meteors with the tips of her legs would cause the ice element to cover only a small part around the tip with ice.
But if it touched the middle of the leg, it would spread to both sides, freezing an even larger area.
That was what Noel was waiting for.
The moment the ice covered the legs, Noel used his Sword Transmutation, cutting them.
This time, the spider’s front legs weren’t longer than her pedipalps.
Still, Noel had just exploded two meteors, there was one more meteor coming directly to the spider’s head.
Noel hurriedly infused his ice element into this meteor. If he could freeze her head, he could strike her down with the sword technique he had been saving this whole time.
To his surprise, the spider actually leaned forward as if trying to swallow the meteor.
Noel wouldn’t allow it to happen, and he hurriedly let the energy burst to cover the spider’s head.
However, it didn’t happen. At the last moment, the spider opened her mouth and shot out a little bit of poison ray to block the energy from coming to her head.
After that, she easily overwhelmed the spiritual energy with her own. f𝗿𝐞ewebno𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝐨m
“…” Noel frowned. As expected, the spider wouldn’t be that easy to deal with.
The spider surprised Noel once again by leaning toward him as if she were planning to use her fangs and pedipalps to attack him now. The movement was swift and the weight contained a huge destructive power. Even Noel couldn’t escape unscathed if he didn’t block this attack.
‘The spider positioned me right in the middle of her mouth. Is she planning to devour me or shoot me with a burst of poison ray? My sword isn’t long enough to stop it. Should I go away?’
After seeing how the spider released only a bit of its poison ray, he knew that the spider’s control over her element was much better than his. If he could use his Spirit Fusion Ability a bit without exhausting all the elements stored inside the spirit seal, he could use it in a more flexible way.
Hence, his only choice was to jump into the air, avoiding the spider’s fangs and pedipalps.
Still, the spider chased after him, leaning its body forward to the very limit.
Noel frowned. There was no way he could escape from this.
Divine Slash.
He finally released his Divine Slash along with the Anger emotion to cut the spider’s mouth.
As expected, the spider released a bit of poison ray as well, while her fangs pinched the Divine Slash and the pedipalps released spiritual energy to neutralize it.
After that, the spider did her best to reach him, but Noel hurriedly raised his sword, using it as a base for his new technique.
Snow Shield.
The sword produced ice and expanded it to create a giant block. The sword was like the handle used to hold the shield. This way, he had a weapon big enough to block the spider’s mouth.
The spider crushed the two sides with its fangs and the pedipalps smashed the broken pieces away. The center was melted by another wave of poison ray.
Unfortunately for the spider, the shield was just a distraction. Noel used Enhance Forward Runes from his equipment, rune body, and even rune cards to actually launch him to the ground. He knew the spider was about to spit the poison ray to kill him when he was defenseless like earlier.
However, Noel’s expression turned serious as though he were thinking about something.
After using the Snow Shield earlier, he noticed something. ‘The spider can control the amount she uses her element… I can’t replicate it, but shouldn’t I be able to change the form of my Spirit Fusion Ability a bit?’
Noel glanced at his sword. If the motion was different, would the Spirit Fusion Ability be different? In the end, the spirit was trying to match their host’s ability. If it could work, he might have a way to defeat this spider.
‘Should I test it?’
