Twin Soul - Book 4: Chapter 2

Noe wasn’t prepared and really died when Watcher Tykan possessed Kain’s body to assassinate him. But after Isia revived Noe, Arthur had already killed Kain and Noe didn’t have any reason to expose his real power. Despite not being able to cast a magic spell because his mana wasn’t going to regenerate for a month, Noe’s Awakened Monk Warrior specialization was no weaker compared to his Necromancy Magic. After Kain was revived by Jaane, Noe still has Mana Potions inside his Magical Storage Ring but he decided not to use it because he wanted to continue playing the weak character to observe and learn more about Arthur’s Creation Magic.

Hagar appeared and the tide of victory absolutely leaned toward Kain. Noe still didn’t want to reveal his Awakened Monk Warrior specialization power and wanted to see if Arthur still has any more hidden magic spells or not. It appeared Arthur didn’t have any more hidden magic spells to bring to the game, Noe was about to reveal his Awakened power but then he saw Gwenn use [Sealed Divine Throne] and was determined to see what she could do with that magic spell. Even when Noe saw Gwenn was killed by Kath Donoghan, he still didn’t want to reveal his true power because he wanted to see who else would betray the Mages Council in this time of need. But when Noe saw Saint Michael appeared and fought with Anwyn Richir, he knew Watcher Zorim had broken the promise she made to him. Noe couldn’t control his anger and revealed his true power.

Noe’s eyes turned red as he angrily stared at Kath then turned toward Gwenn’s corpse and said, “Gwenn Bigham, didn’t I tell you to be careful of Kath Donoghan? Because you have failed to listen to me, you are nothing but a corpse now. You have hidden your [Sealed Divine Throne] spell from me while exposing your back toward the real enemy. Why are you such an idiot? I never wanted to take your power away from you because I am the one that granted you that power. I furthermore shielded you from powerful enemies. But in return, you have never fully trusted me and ended up dead.”

Noe flew toward Kath Donoghan, grabbed some air to enhance the size on both of his arms, and threw several powerful punches toward her. Kath already had her [Stone Skin] and [Magnetic Shield] spells activated. But just eight powerful punches from Noe, both of her defense spells were broken. Adrik Volsky was already prepared the moment he saw Noe break free from being imprisoned by the Devil Overlord. He activated the [Ice Age] spell then casted the [Ice Barrier] spell right on time to prevent Kath from being injured when Noe threw the ninth punch after grabbing some more air to increase the size of his entire right arm to get even bigger. Despite being protected by Adrik’s [Ice Barrier] after [Ice Age] was activated, Kath was blown away by the strong force created from Noe’s ninth punch. Noe didn’t intend to let Kath get away, he quickly flew after her but was blocked by Hagar the Diamond Skeleton as Hagar threw four punches toward Noe to temporarily stop him. This gave Adrik the chance of catching Kath in mid-air preventing her from getting injured as the [Ice Barrier] spell Adrik casted on her quickly shattered after receiving the ninth punch from Noe.

Noe and Hagar fought for only twelve seconds, but all of their punches were equally powerful as their strength and speed matched with each other. Continuing fighting back against Hagar, Noe asked, “There are Six Phases to advance after awakened your Monk Warrior specialization. What Phase are you in right now?”

Blocked several more punches from Noe, Hagar answered, “The Fifth Phase.”

“Let me guess, you have awakened Speed, Strength, Levitation, Endurance, and Resistance. Am I correct?”

“Yes. You are as well, aren’t you?”

“Haha… You are a frog watching the sky from a well and thought that was how big the sky really is. I have already reached the Sixth Phase, Vitality. Even though we are equally strong right now, our fight will result in your death sooner or later as my Vitality is awakened.”

Hagar didn’t know if Noe was lying or not, but Noe’s confidence showed that he was telling the truth. If Noe really awakened the last phase and achieved Vitality, that means Noe can automatically heal himself using the surrounding air around him. Even though that doesn’t mean Noe had an unlimited passive healing effect, but he has the ability to continuously heal himself without costing him any stamina or mana sure put him at an advantage when fighting against Hagar who had just awakened the Fifth Phase and achieved Resistance.

Five Phases a Monk Warrior can achieve after being Awakened:

Speed – The Monk Warrior can use the surrounding air around him/her to temporarily increase the moving speed up to one thousand percent.

Strength – The Monk Warrior can use his/her hands to grab nearby air to temporarily enhance his/her strength up to two thousand percent.

Levitation – The Monk Warrior can levitate to walk or run in mid-air without using any stamina to maintain the effect. Levitation was different compared to flying using a pair of wings as it cost stamina or [Wind Walk] spell as it cost mana.

Endurance – The Monk Warrior has his/her health pool greatly increased up to five hundred percent.

Resistance – The Monk Warrior’s natural resistance to physical and magical damages increased up to three thousand percent.

Vitality – The Monk Warrior can recharge his/her health pool passively using the surrounding air.

An Awakened Monk Warrior can only activate each phase for three hours per day. After all the phases are activated for that day, the Monk Warrior will lose his/her ability to fight physically as he/she would become much weakened who isn’t any stronger compared to a first-tier warrior.

Threw another powerful right fist punch toward Hagar and managed to push him back several steps while both of them were still in mid-air, Noe turned toward Devil-Kain and said, “Kain Bersk, I have a proposal that will benefit us both.”

Hagar heard Noe has a proposal that can benefit his son, he temporarily stopped fighting but continued raising his guard up just in case if Noe was trying to trick him then surprise attack him following that.

Kain recognized Arthur’s [Isolation] spell could prevent him from using [Devil Anatomy] by prohibiting casting magic while inside it. But if Kain already has his [Second Soul] to transform into a Devil then Arthur’s [Isolation] spell wouldn’t be able to force his Devil form to be deactivated which was why Arthur continued to avoid getting closer to Devil-Kain by repeatedly spawning countless of creatures from within his planet. Devil-Kain was still fighting against Arthur’s creatures to get closer to him while Anwyn Richir was busy fighting against Saint Michael allowing Kain and Jaane to freely observe the physical battle between Noe and Hagar. Hearing Noe has a proposal, Kain curiously asked, “What are you proposing? We are enemies. What type of proposal can benefit us both?”

Before answering Kain, Noe turned toward Arthur and asked, “Arthur Castillon, do you intend to keep the sworn of loyalty you have made to me?”

Without any hesitation, Arthur answered, “For all eternity, My Lord.”

“Good. Kain Bersk, I knew the swear of loyalty you have made to me before didn’t mean shit because you weren’t using your real name. But… if you are going to swear to be loyal to me for all eternity now, I will spare you and then legalize Blood Magic throughout the entire Toria Continents. I will even allow the traitor Adrik Volsky to come back to the Mages Council and all of his Rogue Mages will be forgiven as well. Kain, what do you say to that proposal, tempting huh?”
