"Stop crying, I'm still alive..."
Just then,a weak voice sounded out. Charlotte tears immediately stopped flowing. She recognised this voice,it is the voice of the man she's looking for. Looking around,she saw a hand sticking out from the rocks that fell when the explosion took place.
Charlotte ran towards the rock immediately. Forming a magic circle she chanted "Oh great Seraph,please help me transport these rocks away."
After this,she fainted on the ground due to the exhaustion. She was already at her limit when she used ice icicles previously,after the second spell chant her spirit essence was overused.
Nightin heart felt like it shattered when he saw Charlotte did so much for him. Just then,a surge of spirit essence started to flow within his body. Getting into position,he started absorbing the spirit essence from the surrounding air. The spirit essence here is ten times purer than the outside world,making it much easier for a person to absorb them.
Two hours later...
"Boom!"
Nightin sucessfully brokethrough to to the third star,making his overall strength increase by about thirty percent. This is three times more compared to the average people who only get ten percent stronger when reaching the next star.
Nightin spirit essence can even be compared to that of a average sixth star due to his strong foundation.
Nightin decided that he will only proceed when Charlotte recovers. He can't bear to leave Charlotte alone by herself.
Nightin summoned his scythe,suddenly he had an idea. To create a star technique,a technique that can only be used by himself. Thinking about it,despite his strength being much stronger than most people which allows him to skip stars to combat,his spirit essence is always used up way too quickly. If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to make a technique that suits him best which can be used repeatedly?
Nightin took some time to think about it. His idea is to form nine void blades that will orbit around him. Attacking and defending at his will,with the ability to skip at least three stars. He knows that it's a crazy idea,but he has to do it. For the Black List,for Charlotte,for the Nether dragon... There are too many reasons for him to get stronger,his foes will only get more dangerous.
"Vroom!"
The first blade was formed...
One month later...Nightin finally manage to from nine blades,however he was still unable to control them well. He could at most use them individually when needed. After all,he is determined to control those blades.
Two month later from then... He finally manage to take control of all nine blades... Controlling and using them as he wish. Whether to attack or to defend.
Nightin realised that this technique had much more potential than he thought initially. He can merge nine blades into one,use them to form blade arrays and even make good use of them to travel...
Nightin decided "Since Charlotte will at least take three more months to wake up,I should make good use of this chance to cultivate.
Nightin took out his scythe and wanted to learn how to control his blades while in battle.
Just like this... One year has passed since they entered the gate.
Nightin star technique has been named the "Calamity dragon blades" His blades were like dragons that will destroy anything that stands in his way. To be more exact,the technique had fused with his calamity intent.
Nightin had stepped into the fourth star of spirit gathering and has also achieved 20% comprehension of his calamity intent.
Nightin had the confidence to fight against a spirit apprentice realm with his current strength.
Just then,Charlotte opened her eyes and asked "Who am I? What am I doing here? Who are you?"
