System vs Rebirth

Noel had been meditating for quite a while. In fact, he began to lose track of time because of the chill coming from the ice energy.

The energy was much more violent than Heisk couldn't completely absorb it. The surrounding area had been frozen.

Fortunately, there was a master of ice standing not far from him. Raincart had deemed that the ice energy wasn't enough to cause a problem for Noel, so he decided to let him fully absorb it.

After what felt like a week, Noel could finally open his eyes. But this time, instead of meeting the frozen grass field, he found himself inside his consciousness.

The white space expanded to the horizon with no one in sight.

All of a sudden, a chill breeze brushed his skin, causing Noel to shiver.

"What is this chill?" Noel was quite surprised. On the one hand, he had been with Heisk the whole time, so the chill wouldn't be that much of a problem. On the other hand, Heisk couldn't protect him from the chill anymore, and this breeze had a temperature lower than Heisk's ice.

As soon as he turned around, Noel found a huge cocoon behind him. The cocoon was made of ice and emitted a chilling breeze from time to time.

"What is this? No, is this Heisk?" Noel corrected himself, slightly panicking. This was the first time he saw a Spirit evolving, so he wondered what change Heisk would have.

"Ardagan?" Noel called the other spirit, wanting to understand the situation.

Unfortunately, Ardagan couldn't appear before him or his element would clash with Heisk. It would be detrimental when Heisk was about to evolve.

However, that doubt soon disappeared.

When Noel couldn't find Ardagan anywhere, he decided to take a closer look at the cocoon. He realized that the closer he was, the lower the temperature. And it wasn't the radiation. Instead, it felt like the Spirit Link connected the temperature because the chilling sensation came from within instead of the breeze.

"Heisk…" Noel called her name quietly.

As if responding to his call, the cocoon released another breeze.

Noel couldn't help but smile, knowing that Heisk was fine. But at the same moment, the cocoon began pulsing.
