The Demon Monarch System

New Generations' Emergence (III)

---- 1

The ethereal energy ripple billowing from Nadida's body was extremely unusual, in that it didn't quite present the same omnipotent power signature that the Avatar Form presented. Be that as it may, the power surrounding Nadida was more practical in comparison. Compared to the finite and exceedingly limited duration of the Avatar Form, Nadida felt as if this power could be wielded indefinitely.

After all, Aethelia spent an exorbitant amount of time refining and solidifying the Ethereal Elements Abode to house all the energy that Nadida would. In fact, the amount of energy inside her Spiritual Mind eclipsed the energy within the Spiritual Minds of the Three Heavens.

While that didn't mean she was stronger, it just highlighted her unique advantage―the robust energy reserves that labeled her a monster in terms of endurance. As for direct combat power, that would only be understood after Nadida engaged in battle.

Nevertheless, with the surge of power she felt right now, nadida's valiant demeanor returned in full effect. The death and carnage on the battlefield now felt like a matter that she could influence.

'I promise that I'll help you all as much as I can. There won't be as many deaths on my watch if I can do something about it,' Nadida vowed to herself. A moment later, she took the time to digest the information of the technique in her mind. Since the Ethereal Element Abode only held arcane energy of the highest purity, the only way from Nadida to wield was by employing a special technique.

In her case, the technique was known as Soul Coalescence. By using her original contract with Aethelia as the base, she could have the remnants of Aethelia's Soul reinforce hers to open a slender stream of arcane energy linked directly to her Soul Temple. While the reinforcement appeared similar to the Spiritualization and such on the surface, it was totally different.

Whereas Spiritualization burned the Spiritual Essence in the Soul Temple at an alarming rate in exchange for a hefty boost in power, Soul Coalescence was a technique limited strictly to the Spiritual Mind. It would only use the energy inside there and not the Soul Temple.

Hence, why Aethelia expressed the certain superiorities of this technique. If the energy inside one's Spiritual Mind was strong enough, then by using Soul Coalescence, a human could gain power nearing the Avatar Form without suffering the horrendous backlashes and forcibly merging with a Spirit's Soul.

Eventually, Nadida understood the in and outs of the Soul Coalescence techniques. If pushed too far, it would immediately force her into an Avatar Form. because Aethelia's origin Arcane Soul was far too powerful, that would mark the moment that Aethelia canceled Nadida's permission to use this power.

Thus, Nadida decided that she would avoid reaching that point at all costs. The ethereal ripple surrounding Nadida's body soon transformed into a thick lightning lasso as she raised her left hand above her head and created numerous cracking lightning.

'It's just as the technique said. My ability to conjure elements is heightened exponentially while using Soul Coalescence. The arcane energy funneling through my body can be changed into any element of my liking,' Nadida inwardly exclaimed with a fleeting expression of glee.

Now that her curiosities were sated by verifying her capabilities, Nadida snapped her finger and pointed towards the nearest gathering of Terrors on the battlefield. Most of the Terrors in that general direction were Rank 2 and 3, but the pressure they put on the soldier in that area was immense.

Despite losing their leader, the Terror maintained the same level of activity, as if they were never being exclusively led in the first place. In truth, Brukti's main objective on the battlefield was to ensure that the Seed of Death received enough of the Death Essence generated on the battlefield.

As for the fate of the lower-ranking Terrors, that mattered little to him as Az'kayzak power was enough to trample all of these Terrors, even if they were added to together and assaulted him all at once.

The arcane lightning consisted of three types–azure lighting, purple lightning, and finally golden lightning flashed, striking the ground below in an instant. A ring of scorched was left in its wake as the berserk energies inside the lightning were mentally controlled by Nadida so they dealt minimal interference towards her comrades.

Be that as it may, a terrifying lightning strike appearing in such a close vicinity alarmed the soldier, leading to their mystified expression once they realized they were unharmed. Eventually, they understood Nadida was the origin of this attack.

However, the last thing Nadida wished for was to have the deaths increased to their negligence on the battlefield. So, employing another effect of this new power, Nadida delivered a mass message to the others.

"Return your attention to the battle. Just know that we are backing you up. So, fight; fight with all your valor until we win this war!"

The messages resounded in every soldier's mind within a kilometer radius. As a result, a wave of uproarious battle cries filled the atmosphere as a large number of soldiers raised their weapons with increased morale.

Conversely, Nadida revealed an enchanting smile while pushing a locket of her beautiful crimson hair behind her hair. Suddenly, the temperature within a 200-meter radius skyrocketed to the point sweltering heat waves appeared. At the same time, an orange hue exuded from Nadida's golden eyes while her crimson hair progressively adopted the rainbow colorway of her arcane energy.

The surrounding heat waves then condensed into a sphere of orange flames with a faint cerulean outer glow. Those nearby felt their Soul Temple tremble as the flames surrounding this flame incorporated bits of arcane energy resembling Spiritual Essence.

Fortunately, this attack wasn't aimed at the humans in the vicinity of their minds would have been potentially destroyed by the aftermath. Even if this attack was controlled to avoid humans, the aftershock would be too great for Nadida to perfectly influence, thereby potentially leading to unwanted casualties.

Rather than launching a close attack, Nadida raised both of her hands, resulting in the sphere of sweltering levitating high above her head. Once ready, she unleashed the attack on the area closest to the Endless Death Domain's entrance where not a single human soul was located.

Boom!

The attack landing on the attack caused a large tremor throughout the battlefield. What's more, flaming limbs filled the sky as destroyed Terror bodies scattered across the battlefield near the back of the Catastrophe Line.

A proud smile appeared across Nadida's face as she lowered her hand and traced her finger against the ethereal ripple surrounding her body in a suspended state. As long as she willed it, this rippling ring would translate her desires into reality by activating the corresponding element.

"Thank you for this power, Aethelia," Nadida muttered to herself while slowly closing her eyes. She clasped her hands together over her chest as her emotions were riled up by her ability to now cause a difference on the battlefield. Despite using two immense attacks, Nadida felt no different.

The stability of the Ethereal Elements Abode and the energy inside was simply absurd! Even Soren and Solomon felt weakness after unleashing two large techniques. Hence, when Soren arrived on the battlefield and looked down, only to see a young female singlehandedly deal with two huge clusters of Terrors, he was intrigued. But, he wasn't overly impressed.

Soren rubbed his chin in thought before glancing to his right for a moment. 'That'd be a different story if these attacks could deal with Rank 4 Terrors all the same. They are the true menace for the soldiers. If you're capable of doing that besides your young age, then you'll have my praise.'

Suddenly, two symbols lit up on Gaelbolg's shaft as Soren tightened his grasp, turned his wrist, and unleashed a terrifying spear throw. A huge crevasse opened in the floor as Gaelbolg continued to obliterate the ground while obliterating a huge amount of Rank 4 Terrors with unstoppable pierces.

Although Gaelbog soared further into the distance, Soren didn't chase after the weapon. Instead, he landed beside Nadida to get a general understanding as to why someone who wasn't revealed to be a Paragon could unleash a power stronger than Spiritualization but just slightly inferior to the Avatar Form?

Could it be there were hidden Paragons that the War Academies failed to identify? If so, then Soren felt that there was perhaps a chance that this war could be won with infallible victory.

"Are you not the Vice Commander of the Crux Family's Legion? When did you gain the ability to utilize a Spirit's power at such a level? Is it something you learned in the spur of the moment or have you been hiding this power all of this time in fear of some sort of repercussion?" Soren asked.

His unannounced presence took Nadida by surprise because while she could sense all of her allies nearby, she couldn't sense Soren in the slightest. Not to mention, he appeared beside her the moment he released his spear. So, the booming noise of his spear causing rampant destruction only further alarmed Nadida.

As for the reason for Soren's question, it was because he had witnessed a few individuals who awakened power in times of crisis by feeding their indomitable will to survive. He wished to know if Nadida fell into this description.
