"…" Noel narrowed his eyes. This Undying Phoenix was one of his strongest techniques. Even though he had just acquired it not long ago, it didn't change the fact that the Undying Fire was overwhelming.
Yet, the guy managed to stop it. It was clear that the Undying Phoenix wouldn't be working more effectively next time. He knew he could simply extend his blade to stop it.
This wasn't looking good for him.
'I guess this is the current gap between a Spirit Wielder and a real Spirit Master, unlike the one I met in the town. Even with two elements, Rune and my swordsmanship, it's impossible to close the gap between us.'
Even though Noel couldn't reach the Spirit Master's level, he would probably win against the Spirit Master he fought with Anna if he went all out. Unfortunately, he still hadn't reached the level of the Spirit Master before him.
He never thought that a single rank had this big of a gap.
