System vs Rebirth-Novel

Noel looked at the fiery heart and extended his hand. Ardagan's Spirit Mark shone on the back of his palm and began to absorb the flame on the heart.

There was no need for Noel to consume the heart since all he needed was the energy coming from the heart. It was the demon's purest flame.

Just like how Heisk absorbed the energy from the Ice Crystal, Ardagan did it in the same way. The abilities were immediately transferred to him through the system.

[You've acquired Fire Gale.]

[You've acquired Fire Heart.]

[Undying Fire Feathers Level +3]

[Phoenix Wings Level +2]

[Undying Phoenix +2]

Noel immediately opened his eyes wide, never expecting that absorbing a single heart of a Peak Level Demon would give him so much advantage.

"What is this… Is the fire so strong that it stimulates the Undying Fire?" Noel muttered while looking at the notification. At the same time, he also received an influx of knowledge from the system due to the Fire Gale and Fire Heart.

"This is interesting. Fire Gale is the ability that the demon used so many times earlier. It's quite annoying but extremely useful. Unfortunately, if I want to use it, I have to activate my Phoenix Wings first. It can be said that the Fire Gale ability is the extension of my Phoenix Wings ability.

"As for the Fire Heart, I don't know what to say about this. On the one hand, the Fire Heart can be activated at minimum Spiritual Energy. It can amplify my fire ability while it's active. To put it simply, the Fire Heart will absorb the energy from the Spirit Mark and amplify it.

"On the other hand, the Fire Heart will increase the consumption of my Spiritual Energy drastically. I see, I got a lot from the demon and it felt like the Sword Saint had already known that this would happen, so he asked me to kill this demon."

Noel looked down for a moment, wondering one thing. "Now that I think about it, this is supposed to be someone's possession. I wonder what kind of ability they get after consuming this heart.

"Obviously, the spirit rank might increase, but since Ardagan is considered to be the highest rank, he doesn't evolve. Instead, he uses that ability to raise my abilities. It should be easier to upgrade a similar ability…

"Last but not least, whoever it is must have gotten the two abilities as well, the Fire Gale and the Fire Heart. I should say that the Fire Heart Ability is the best gain in this hunt."

Noel was curious about the Fire Heart Ability. He glanced to the side and still saw Dimitri and Rose waiting at the side. It seemed that they were curious about his gain.

So, Noel planned to try the Fire Heart first.

Noel shouted, "Dimitri. Do you mind if I test something?"

"Testing the new power you've got from the demon?" Dimitri glanced to the side. Since he was also curious about the ability, Dimitri nodded, "Understood. Let's test it. What do you want me to do?"

"I'm trying to summon the black phoenix at you. Do you think you can kill it?"

"I can." Dimitri nodded without hesitation. He jumped back to gain some distance before waving his hand to let Noel know he was ready.

Noel nodded and gathered the Spiritual Energy into his hand. He took a deep breath before using the Fire Heart.

In that instant, he felt his heart pumping faster and harder to the point he could easily feel the pumping motion.

'This is…' Noel narrowed his eyes for a moment, feeling the surge of strength coming from his heart. He remembered that his heart had evolved after becoming a Spirit Master. And due to the Fire Heart, the amplification became several folds.

Noel waved his hand, releasing the phoenix.

As expected from the Undying Fire Phoenix, who had just gained two additional levels. The Undying Phoenix's power became twice as big and as powerful compared to the previous one. But Noel also noticed the amplification from the Fire Heart.

The Phoenix suddenly let out a cry, stimulating the fire even further.

"!!!" Dimitri widened his eyes in shock, never expecting to see this kind of power from the Undying Phoenix. He remembered that the Undying Phoenix wasn't this strong.

'What is this? The strength… It should be three times more than the previous one.' Dimitri panicked after seeing the difference in power. He thought the fire heart would be beneficial, but he seemed to have underestimated the effect.

Dimitri hurriedly gathered the energy on the sword's blade before waving it downwards. The black-colored energy from his blade flew down and hit the ground, fusing with the shadow. After that, it spiked like a raging fire and ran through the ground before finally hitting the Undying Phoenix.

*Bam!*

Their clash resulted in an immediate explosion. Dimitri was using the Hard Approach because he thought his power was not enough to deal with the Undying Phoenix, but as a result, the Hard Approach caused the sword strike to explode upon impact.

The Undying Fire that made the phoenix scattered in the area, burning the trees, rocks, and even the soil.

Thankfully, due to the blast, the Undying Fire didn't fly in Dimitri's direction. Or it would be terrible if he got caught.

'This is…' Dimitri narrowed his eyes. 'What I used earlier was equal to a Spirit Grandmaster's strike. To think the phoenix would be that strong… Although it's only equal to a Spirit Grandmaster who has just broken through, it's still beyond what a peak Spirit Master can do.'

It seemed that Noel's ability had improved again. This time, his ability surpassed three levels at once.

He couldn't say it was equal to a Spirit Grandmaster, but it was close to that level.

Dimitri couldn't help but sigh, "That demon truly benefits you a lot, Young Master."

Noel could also feel the change in his power as well. He nodded with a serious expression. "Yeah, I think so."
