System vs Rebirth

Mega Slash.

*Bam!*

With the help of Increase Agility and Strength Blessing Runes, Noel's attack was amplified greatly. In addition of Mega Slash, the moment he struck the trunk, a portion of it was shattered as if he used an axe to hit it.

'It's too shallow. Am I going to dig this whole place?' Noel clicked his tongue and leaped to the side again, avoiding the branches again.

'I can't waste too much time here, so I need to correctly pinpoint the core's location, but how?' Noel furrowed his eyebrows before placing his hand on the ground.

Suddenly, the ice spread from his hand to the surrounding, covering the entire platform with a thin layer of ice.

He then slid on the ice while observing the branches' movements.

Whenever the branches were about to strike him, they decelerated. However, the moment the tree realized there was a thin layer of ice on top of him, it thought he could go a bit more faster.

*Bam!*

The ice cracked when the branches hit it, but it was clear that the ice was able to contain much of the impact, allowing the demon to go all out.

This looked like a foolish plan coming from Noel.

And in addition, Noel even said, "Not good. It seems that the ice is too strong. It can withstand that kind of attack that should be able to crush me."

Noel clicked his tongue and kept sliding around.

After the fight with Azgar, he learned that he should practice how to slide on his ice. If possible, he should continue sliding on top of the ice, allowing him to gain good control in a fight like this.
