System vs Rebirth

A smile appeared on Noel's face as he looked at the Spirit Master that approached him and stabbed him on the other shoulder, rendering both arms useless.

The sword pierced through Noel's shoulder and Noel was screaming in pain. His face was distorted and his fear started to grow.

This was what the Spirit Master had been waiting for. With this, Noel shouldn't resist anymore.

It wouldn't be too long until he captured Noel… or so what was supposed to happen.

But in reality, while Noel clutched his shoulder because of the pain, the Spirit Master stabbed his other shoulder.

Unexpected, instead of piercing the shoulder, the blade actually stuck as if it had just hit a sturdy wall.

"!!!" The Spirit Master widened his eyes in shock while looking at Noel.

Noel was actually fine. He might have felt some pain in his shoulder earlier, but it wasn't to the point he was injured. The same applied to the stabbed area. The blade actually couldn't penetrate his skin, or specifically the armor underneath his shirt.

This was the armor made of the Ancient Demon Tree and was forged by a Master Blacksmith. Although the Master Blacksmith said it could only block an attack from a Spirit Wielder, Noel had perfected the Spirit Enhancement, turning it into a rune.

At the same time, the Spiritual Energy he used to strengthen the armor was enough to stop a Spirit Master's attack, let alone one without Spiritual Energy.

He had underestimated Noel.

Without the knowledge of this armor, the guy was completely frozen. He felt like time had stopped and he was trying to think like his life depended on it.

Noel, on the other hand, had prepared his attack this whole time. In fact, he had been luring the Spirit Master into this tricky situation. He knew he couldn't defeat a Spirit Master unless he risked his life.
