Aldred stared back at the beast, de at the ready. The beast stomped the ground, charging at him, and Aldred rushed forward, dodging the sharp crystals on its jaws.
For a few minutes, Aldred kept on circling him, trying to find any weakness, but his de was deflected by the thick pir-like crystals.<sub>-.</sub>
After a few, he finally found the way to defeat it. Aldred leaped into the sky as the beast attacked, passing below him. He held the long sword with both hands and drove the tip in between the crystal pirs.
ZIING!
The de went in deep in the middle of the tail, and Aldred pushed it to the right with a roar. The de sliced with much difficulty, but eventually— the tail was cut off.
The beast roared and swayed, unused to the imbnce, but eventually it stood strong and red at Aldred with steaming out of its small nostril.
Aldredughed and charged at the beast, sliding down under and shing at its leg, dodging the jaw mming attack.
The legs were strong, but Aldred noticed a small mark that he made. If he could keep attacking that point, the leg would give up.
Guragaan, the beast, mmed its stone-like w at him. It felt like a gigantic sledgehammer was falling at him.<sub></sub>
“Lateral Step sh!”
The long sword sweeped horizontally, attacking the leg, while also pushing Aldred to the side.
The red color on the de increased to the tip. Every time Aldred attacked, this red color would increase from the handle and up to the tip.
And since Aldred had attacked many times, the red color had reached the tip of the de. He did not understand much, but this red color thing let him perform special attacks such as cutting the soul of the target which would deplete the red color.
From now on he would call it the spirit meter, since it could cut spirit and soul.
To summarize, the Spirit Meter would increase as long as Aldred attacked, and it gave him many benefits such as increasing his strength, and letting him use special attacks such as Spirit sh and Spirit thrust. These two attacks could cut the soul of his opponent and reduce their power.
The other feature of this sword was something Aldred called Spirit Outline. Same with Spirit Meter, Spirit Outline gave him more strength, power, speed, and when it reached the red color, it would let him execute a special move called Spirit Downward sh.
He could do this move with White Spirit Outline, and Yellow Spirit Outline, but the damage was 10% to 20%pared to when it reached the red level.
The Spirit Outline started from white, yellow, and then red.
The way to increase the Spirit Outline was to use Spirit sh thrice in abo or counter attacking after a foresight sh.
…
The heavy w mmed to the ground beside him. The mark on the beast leg got deeper, and Aldred shed it a few more times before then leaping backward.
More steam came out of the beast, Aldred could tell it was irritated. How could it not, he just cut off its tail.
Aldred let the beast charge at him and when the beast attacked, he activated Foresight sh, and then counter attacked its legs.
The outline on his de changed to white. The beast attacked again. Aldred did the same thing, and now the outline changed to yellow. For the third time, the outline changed to red.
With each outline color changed, Aldred became stronger and faster. He also used the sword more proficiently than before.
That was when the long sword guided him to move again. His whole body shed forward while red particles covered his body. The sword shed, leaving a trail of red color, but instead of attacking the soul of the beast, all the hard scales, and thick crystals protecting the beast were shed before the de went deep into the thigh andpletely removed the beast’s left leg.
‘What power is this?’ Aldred thought to himself. Then he recalled something Ste had said. About a spirit weapon that could cut any physical object in the world.
Did the sword just change from cutting the soul realm to cutting the material realm?
The Spirit Meter reduced more than half for using this ability, but it was worth it as the beast fell to its side, unable to stand up.
That was when his sight was hyper-focused on one point. It was like his whole vision zoomed in like a microscope, staring at one celr cell on the beast’s belly.
“Spirit Thrust!”
The de struck, his whole body glowed red, and it shed forward before the tip stabbed through the belly.
It seared through the scales easily, prating deep into the beast’s flesh. His body was still glowing red, and the red energy pushed him into the sky before pulling him down onto the beast.
“Spirit Downward sh!”
Aldred shed vertically. A red trail shed, and then the monster was cut into thousands of pieces as sharp, chaotic red energy shed all over the monster.
Aldred understood more and more about The Soul Reaper. Like he had said before, it wasn’t designed to fight weak entities. Instead, it was designed to fight something stronger than itself.
It was also made for consecutivebo attacks. As long as he used all the skills at the proper timing, he believed he could defeat any monsters that were stronger than him. Maybe he could even defeat something that was above the Gold Rank as well.
He was certain that he could defeat a weaker tinum Rank, but it was still uncertain since it had not been proven yet.
