although Adam didn't know much about spirit herb he heard they were created from many different types of spirit herb which for him was all he needed to know on how to use spirit pills and thought it would be the same like the time he had absorb an spirit herb in the secret realm but he saw that what he was thinking was somewhat wrong cause instead of the spirit pills sending a rampage of energy through his body it the energy it released travel to his soul space without giving him much trouble and his soul source started absorbing it.
it seems spirit pills aren't dangerous to take like spirit herb's,but do I really have to stay sitting like this until the energy of the spirit pills is absorbed Adam thought but as he was thinking this he felt a strange energy forming in his chest which he didn't have an idea to what it could be.
after a few minutes had past Adam had finally finished absorbing the spirit pills and his rank had increased to origin stage 13 from origin stage 9 this should be enough for me to complete the last floor's of the pagoda Adam thought but he was still unsure if the strength he had could do it but as he didn't have anything better to do he thought he could at least give it an try but instantly again he sensed the strange energy from earlier seemingly increasing in energy and now he could feel an strange effect from it which was he was feeling his heart beat getting slower and slower I should finish clearing the Pagoda and ask erebos what's causing this Adam thought cause the only thing he could think of that could be causing the strange things happening to his chest was the his incarnate curse art.
as Adam entered the space portal leading to the 4th floor he was surprised as stood looking around his surroundings that resembled an abondon city.
clank clank
a sound rang out that sounded like metal hitting each other.
Adam who heard the unknown sound turn to his right to see an golden puppet walking towards him from an street with buildings on both sides.
looking he saw that the puppet didn't have anything to cause the sound that was coming from but realizing that every time the puppet took a step he heard the metal sound he thought the golden city wasn't just colored but actual gold.
so that strange sound came from gold hitting gold Adam thought and created a sword that went flying straight at the golden puppet but as the spirit weapon sword was close to hitting the puppet a golden wall 5 meters in height rised and block the sword Adam seeing his attack was stop was controlling his spirit weapon to go over the golden wall when he sensed something coming at him from above and jump wards to see two ten story golden buildings smash into each other right where he was.
don't tell me he can control everything in the golden city Adam thought but quickly turned around as he heard an slight rumble to see an building move from where it was and came on the road he was at then started to speed at him like an car but Adam quickly responded by creating an sword and using bansho strike cutting the building coming towards him in half that was the same size as the one's that were about to crush him earlier
and as he let out a sigh of relief he started to hear rumble sound coming once again and this time he knew what was about to happen as he was inside a city that had buildings on either side if every street he did the one thing he could do now and started to run to hear sounds of buildings crashing into each other relentlessly but Adam wasn't just running aimlessly and was instead now looking for the golden puppet as destroying the buildings it was controlling wouldn't help him and he knew he didn't have the power to destroy then all at once after taking plenty of turn around the city Adam finally found the puppet who was standing a building looking down.
it's a good thing It can't control all these building at once and can probably only move two if three at a time or I would have lost, thinking this he wondered what his approach was to be to beat the puppet but his eyes widen in shock as he saw about ten buildings materialize into liquid like gold and started to merge into the one the golden puppet was standing on transforming it's shape and after a quick 10 seconds Adam saw the once ten story building transformed into an giant puppet who was just as tall as it.
I can sense the puppet inside the giant one but how am I supposed to beat this giant puppet Adam thought but knowing he wouldn't die failing the stage he tried following what he saw the golden puppet do and started to create an giant spirit weapon sword but then the giant puppet transform another golden building this time into an sword and started to sprint over towards Adam who wasn't worried since his spirit weapon sword that was the size of an building was finally complete and he instantly shot it at the giant puppet who swing its sword to counter Adam's attack but an second later as the giant puppet sword struck Adam's it was torn to piece's.
i guessing it wasn't an good idea fighting something as strong as an origin stage 15 soul trainers Adam thought but his thoughts completely shifted as he saw the giant sword coming towards him now and he quickly made an guanlet on both his hands blocking the giant golden puppet's sword but his guanlet started to shatter just like he had expected but he channeled all the existence power he had left into it reforming it but even then ten seconds later it started to crack again.
I guess I should try clearing floor 4 gain after training Adam thought as the guanlet he had poured his last bit of existence power into had shattered.
but as the next second came which Adam thought was going to be his lost he felt a energy different from his own he was fammillar with started to flow through him and as his hands came in contact with the giant blade he saw it completely frozen over by an green color ice them breaked into pieces.
although Adam was really sure what was happening he had an little knowledge to what was happening which was that the strange energy that he felt from earlier is the same one that he's using now and the ice power must be his curse art erebos told him he would be able to use upon reaching origin rank 15.
did erebos miscalculated on when I would be able to use the curse art but he knew he didn't have time to think about that now as right this moment he felt like he had the power to beat the golden puppet but he also felt that power decreasing slowly every second so he knew he needed to act fast and he saw that the golden puppet wasn't giving him anytime to rest either as it quickly created an bow and started to shoot arrows at Adam that was the size of buildings Adam seeing the arrows approach him counteracted them by touching the arrows that quickly freezed completely then they instantly break into pieces.
wait this ice looks like once it completely freeze's something it automatically break's it Adam thought and now using his new know of his ice power's he finally thought of an way to bring down the giant puppet.
as the giant puppet continued to shoot down arrows at Adam who this time didn't freeze them this time instead dodge them and was running towards the straight towards the puppet and was now 10 meter near the giant puppet who raised it's foot on the ground hoping to crush Adam but Adam safely avoided it's giant foot by by jumping on it's left leg and started to freeze it then climbed onto it's back freezing it further and the giant puppet started to use it's hands to try an hit at Adam but Adam avoided all of it's struggling attempt's to hit him and as the giant puppet was now fully frozen in the green ice it automatically breaked like he thought it would destroying the golden puppet.
after a few seconds Adam saw an bottle appeared containing 16 spirit pills and then the space portal leading to the 5th floor appeared but Adam wasn't sure he could beat the puppet on that floor yet so he didn't bother think about testing it yet and instead shouted in the silent abondon city I want to exit the pagoda and another space portal appeared one that would bring him to floor 0 of the pagoda after going through the space portal Adam arrive at floor 0 then exited the pagoda going home and was now sitting in his bed and decided to check where the strange energy he used to beat the golden puppet and after using his spirit detect his vision changed to an green space with an green circular orb at the center of it.
could this be an soul source but how Adam thought.
