System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1170: A New Spirit

Noel was sitting behind the Diva while Andreas held her hand.

After a nod from Old Ru and the overseer, Noel signaled Andreas. ”Soul.”

Andreas nodded and activated his ability. The divaʼs soul gradually left her body, revealing its true form. As expected, the soul was not pure blue in color. Instead, there were purple dots everywhere, as if it were a sign of corruption.

Still, this was only the projection of the divaʼs soul. The real soul was inside her body.

Noel closed his eyes, remembering all those spots. After that, he placed his hands on the divaʼs back and began to channel his spiritual energy.

He was tracing her body to make sure he marked everything perfectly. Then he began to mark her organs as well as her metabolism.

It might be due to the training for the Separation Mind Circulation Method, but he could actually spread his spiritual energy much easier in her body.

Old Ru and Andreas were able to get their spirits because their entire body was on fire. That was what he was planning to do as well, but in a controlled manner.

The marking alone took more than fifteen minutes.

”Huu…Itʼs going to be painful from this point onward.” Noel warned her.

As soon as the diva nodded her head, he picked up the scabbard. With a wave of his spiritual energy, the flame came out of the scabbard and circled around Noelʼs arm.

Little by little, Noelʼs spiritual energy guided the flame inside her body.

”Kh.” The diva was already gritting her teeth, even though only a bit of the flame entered her body.

Even then, it was the Undying Flame. Having it inside one body would feel like they were melting from the inside.

”Aaaggggghhh!” The divaʼs body was convulsing. Her body started to redden as if she were steamed from the inside.

”Endure it. Only half of the amount needed has entered.”

The diva couldnʼt respond to him, but she was doing her best to endure the scorching pain.

”Andreas. Get ready to use the Force Control to repair her damaged inner parts. Follow closely behind my flame.”

Andreas nodded with a grim expression.

”Aaaagggghhhh!” She was screaming in pain, her body was convulsing uncontrollably. Her skin was red, but the flame was finally inside her body.

”Now! Use your power!” Noel shouted, signaling the diva to use her power to cover her body in

”Aggghhhh!” She kept screaming and started writhing. Noelʼs miscalculated the pain that they would endure.

Even the others looked worried because this was the first time they saw the diva in so much pain. She couldnʼt even release her own spiritual energy.

”Tsk!” Noel gritted his teeth. He had two choices. If the diva couldnʼt use her spiritual energy, he had to stop the treatment right away since nothing was cooling her body down. At the same time, it would be extremely dangerous if he pulled away now since it would leave a burning mark similar to Old Ruʼs body.

”We need to cool her down!” Noel shouted. As much as he wanted to use his ice element, which was already possible due to the Mind Separation Circulation Method, he still needed to focus on the fire. If he used his ice, the treatment would be over.

They panicked, thinking that something had gone wrong. Meanwhile, Anna was the first one to react. She immediately extended her spiritual energy toward the pool on the side.

She used her spiritual energy, which, while not as good as the diva, was still enough to envelop her body with the water.

”I will help you!” Old Ru saw Annaʼs effort and hurriedly used his own spiritual energy to reinforce the wobbling bubble.

Even the other elders released their own spiritual energy.

As expected, water started evaporating after making contact with her body. However, her bodyʼs temperature gradually decreased due to the water.

Noelʼs expressions began to relax a bit. The most crucial step was over, and the long war had begun. ”Andreas. Follow me!”

Noel began to circulate his flame all around her body, starting from her back to her left arm. Then he moved to her legs before eventually reaching the right arm.

The process was carefully done as he maintained both the intensity of the flame as well as the temperature. The diva hadnʼt stopped screaming this whole time. Fortunately, she didnʼt pass out.

Andreas continued repairing the damaged inner parts, from muscle to nerves, with his Force Control.

Once the four limbs were done, Noel began moving toward the head, which was the most crucial.

”Aaaahhhhh!” The divaʼs scream became even louder as she started clutching her head as if begging Noel to stop.

”We need more water!” Old Ru shouted, noticing that all the water had become warm, which wouldnʼt be effective to cool her down.

”I will get it!” the Venom Overlord hurriedly rushed out.

”I will help you!” the Arctic Queen followed right after.

”Andreas! Keep up!” Noel shouted.

”Yes!” Andreas had a hard time because his mastery over the Force Control was still a bit too low. However, he managed to catch up, albeit barely.

After that, Noel began to move downward and spread the flame to her upper body, burning all the tainted parts in her organs, blood, and all innards.

This was the most crucial step. The Arctic Queen and the Venom Overlord had returned with a huge bubble of water.

”Weʼll replace the water!” They shouted.

”Good. Get ready!” Old Ru nodded with a solemn expression.

”Not yet! Iʼm about to finish and pull out my flame. If you do that, it will cause a steam explosion. Also, get ready to release your control over the water!” Noel shouted back.

They froze on the spot and had no choice but to follow Noelʼs instruction.

Noel was trying to feel the blood circulation to make sure everything disappeared. As soon as he was done, Noel signaled. ”Now! Release your control!”

All of them retracted their spiritual energy, causing the bubble that cooled down her body to fall to the floor.

After that, Noel pulled his hand back as the flame gradually emerged from her body as though it were being extracted.

”Andreas. Weʼre going to repair the damage on her upper body together. The rest of you will use the fresh water to cool down her body!”

They all nodded.

However, before they could react, water started coming out of the divaʼs body.

”!!!” All the elders widened their eyes in shock while Anna pointed at the divaʼs belly. ”Look. That is a spirit mark!”

There was a symbol with a mermaid symbol on her belly. It was releasing the energy from the diva body in the form of water.

The red skin was actually getting peeled off, blood leaked out of all those wounds. This would be bad if it continued, but to their surprise, the peeled skin recovered just two seconds later as if the water held a healing attribute.

Even Noel and Andreas noticed that her innards were recovering at much faster speed than their Force Control.

”This is…” Noel gasped. He immediately ordered, ”Stop doing anything to her. It seems that her spirit is helping with her recovery.”

Noel grabbed Andreas and pulled him back as they watched the water completely cover her body.

The recovery was so fast that it could be seen by naked eyes. In just a minute, the bubble disappeared, showing the divaʼs original appearance as if nothing had happened. The only difference was the spirit mark on her belly.

”Is it done?” Old Ru asked.

The overseer gulped down, approaching the diva.

”I think itʼs done.” Noel nodded.

As soon as he gave the confirmation, Old Ru came to the diva to check her condition. ”Her spiritual energy is flowing normally. No, it feels more robust and brimming with vitality.”

As he said those words, the diva let out a small moan while gradually opening her eyes.
