328 Intents Fusion
\"I will take that chance.\"
The spirits were shocked when they heard Alex said that.
Alex did not know why, but this undead had something that he needed. Or at least, she was not planning to do something bad to him.
Unlike the normal undead with no intelligence, this female undead had a certain degree of intelligence. And he felt no evil intent from this female undead.
Alex chose to take the test.
\"Alex (Young Master)!\" Of course, the others did not agree with it.
\"I am sorry, but I need to take this one,\" Alex said with a smile.
He remembered Anna said that this barrier should not be able to be opened. But this female could open it. He was wondering whether it was luck or whatever, but he might get the answer if he fought with this woman.
She even limited her strength to his level. If Alex chose to fight with his spirits, she might revert her strength back.
Alex moved to the front and stood a few meters in front of the female undead. If he did not have his Spirit Eyes or any knowledge about the undead in this barrier, he might think that this woman was still alive.
After all, there was no wound or whatever on her body, and her long purple dress had no blemish.
When the spirits saw him going forward, all of them immediately looked at Anya. With only a word from her, they would charge forward.
\"Anya. Wait a little bit.\" Anna suddenly stopped her.
Leoz and the others were looking at Anna with a confused expression. Anya also could not believe her ears as Anna, who worried about him the most, stopped her.
\"Please. Just this once, I feel… I feel… there must be something in this. Believe in him.\" Anna said.
\"You feel? Do you think I can be assured just because of your feelings? Even if you are my twin sister, but this is the matter of Alex. I-\"
\"Anya. Please. We both… No, all of us have lost him once. I also do not want to lose him again. But, just this once… just this once…\"
\"You-!\" Anya looked at Anna's pitiful expression. She gritted her teeth.
She knew both of them had lost their beloved Alex once. They would not repeat the same thing even at the cost of their life. But she could not shake her feelings in Anna's words.
She bit her lips. \"Fine. Just this once.\"
She looked at Leoz. \"Activate your True Spirit Body. If there is something wrong, you will immediately save Alex.\"
\"Even if it cost my life.\" Leoz nodded as he raised his sword, \"True Spirit Body. Thunder Berserker.\"
\"Greg, prepare your shield at any moment.\" Anya turned to Greg.
Greg nodded his head. Although Anya said Alex could take the risk, she was still preparing for the worst.
In the meantime,
Alex was looking at the female undead in front of him. He took out his sword and spear. He released both of his domains. After two months of training, Alex's sword domain had reached 35 meters radius while his spear domain was only five meters short from it.
There was a slight movement on the female undead's eyebrows. It looked like she was surprised by him.
\"!!!\" Of course, Alex noticed that small movement. But because there was no expression whatsoever after that, Alex decided to ignore it for the time being.
The female undead suddenly made something unbelievable. She covered the wooden stick with her Sword Intent.
Alex was dumbfounded when he saw that. He never did something like that. No, in fact, he could not do that.
Even though he could fuse his Sword Intent to his spear and vice versa, that was all he could do. He could not conjure his intent to any other weapons or equipment.
\"Fu-!\" Alex let out a deep breath, trying to focus on his opponent instead of shocked by her. Even if he could not do something like her, she also could not do something like him.
Their eyes became sharped as they jumped forward at the same time.
Alex and the woman swung their swords. It gave a shockwave as both of their sword intent collided.
But the shocking thing was when Alex suddenly got pushed by the female undead.
Alex was pushed by the woman a few meters back. Alex could not comprehend the strength behind her.
He jumped forward again and swung his sword. But like the previous clash, Alex could not win the clash with his strength.
He then slid the sword and directed it to the ground. Then he thrust his spear toward her. But surprisingly, she suddenly raised her other hand to meet Alex's spear.
She was planning to meet Alex's spear that had been covered by his Spear Intent with her hand. Of course, Alex did not have any intention to pull back. He was planning to defeat her by thrusting his spear through her hand.
But suddenly, a dense Sword Intent appeared on her hand as she grabbed Alex's spear with her bare hand.
\"!!!\" Alex was astonished to see that. He did not understand why she could use her Sword Intent with her barehand.
The stick already slid off his sword and came back toward him.
Noticing the wooden stick, Alex immediately pulled back his spear and used its handle to deflect the stick once more.
He then swung his sword again but stopped by the wooden stick.
Alex knew it would be a hard fight.
…
They had been clashing for a few minutes. The female undead did not use any of her Sword Arts. Instead, she was engaging Alex purely with her Sword Intent alone.
Alex also did not use any of his Martial Arts as this exchange was really beneficial to him. Even Anna and the others could see that Alex's movement became more precise as they continued clashing.
It was not his sword alone, but his spear also became sharper. He did not want this clash to end so soon, so he purposely did not use his Martial Arts.
Alex was also observing the woman's technique. He felt something different from her sword technique, but he could not tell what it was even with her Sword Mastery.
Suddenly she knocked his spear away.
\"Kh!\" Alex immediately retreated a few steps back while taking another spear from his inventory.
The woman did not chase him. Instead, she was walking toward his spear that planted on the ground.
She pulled the spear and pointed it toward Alex.
\"Your… heart… empty.\"
Alex could not understand what she meant, but when she suddenly used her Sword Intent with her sword, Alex was shocked beyond belief.
It was like his technique to use a spear like using a sword. But he felt something different from it. Although she was able to use her Sword Intent with the spear, he felt like that was all.
What Alex taught Putri was more than that. He taught her how to treat both the same, and she became capable of using Sword Art too.
But unlike Putri, he felt that this woman could not use anything other than her Sword Art because she treated everything as a Sword but not treated them the same.
She then jumped forward and clashed with him with a wooden stick as well as his spear. Alex's expression became serious.
They clashed again for a few minutes. But this time, Alex could not get any advantage. In fact, he had been suppressed by her this entire time.
\"Haa! Seven Stars Cut.\" Alex was the first one who used a Sword Art.
The woman only waved her sword slightly, and his Seven Stars Cut was split to half.
Alex sweatdropped as he realized that the situation became a little bit bad. He continued to observe how the woman used her sword.
But suddenly the woman stopped. Alex looked at her confusedly.
\"There… no… weapon… in… your… heart.\"
\"When… you… lose… weapons… you… lose.\"
Alex could not understand her. It seemed she was talking, there was no weapon in his heart, and when he lost his weapons, he would lose. Alex could not understand what she meant.
He did not know why she said there was no weapon in his heart even though he had. He had his sword and spear.
Alex did not really understand her meaning at all.
\"Lose my weapon… I will lose.\" Alex murmured. He suddenly took it from a different perspective. He thought, 'Without her weapon, will she lose?'
The answer was no. In fact, she never used her sword this whole time. But if Alex lost his sword and spear, he would surely change into his Fire and Array. But it was different for this woman. If she lost her sword, she would just pick whatever she could find and turn it to a sword.
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. There was a single line that suddenly kept recalling inside his mind. \"Even without my sword in my hand, there is still a sword in my heart. Everything will become my sword as long as my heart will it.\"
It kept echoing in his mind. And suddenly there was a trace of sword intent appeared on his heart. With that sudden appearance, his Sword Domain suddenly increased by leaps and bound. His Sword Domain suddenly reached fifty-meter radius.
It did not stop there. Alex was also thinking about his spear. \"Even without my spear in my hand, there is still a spear in my heart. Everything will become my spear as long as my heart will it.\"
A spear intent also appeared on his heart, and his Spear Domain also reached fifty-meter radius.
But because he was a bit occupied by this, he missed a small smile that appeared on her face.
Although he was savoring all of this, he tried to keep track of her movement. Fortunately, the woman did not move from her spot. Of course, the spirits were also watching her movement.
They were ready to charge at any moment to protect Alex.
With this new-found thing, he wanted to face her again, but another thing was bugging him. He recalled that he could not fuse his Sword and Spear because he felt he was missing something.
Because his sword and his spear never etched in his heart, he never brought his weapons to its fullest potential.
Because he did not put it in his heart, he could not merge both of them. Like a marriage in his perspective, if there were no love, he would not 'become' one with her.
If he did not put both of his weapons in his heart, how could he fuse them into one?
Suddenly Sword Intent and Spear Intent appeared simultaneously in his sword. When he was using his sword like a spear, he would immediately remove his Sword Intent and replace it with Spear Intent and vice versa.
But this time, he managed to summon both intent altogether. The Sword Intent and the Spear Intent slowly fused with each other.
Even the spirits were looking at him with great hope, Anna murmured, \"He comes back.\"
On the other hand, there was a trace of astonishment in the woman's face.
When both intents were fused together, creating a whole new intent. Alex swung his sword.
\"Seven Stars Cut!\"
With his current strength, he could make a six layers Seven Stars Cut. But if it was a normal Seven Stars Cut, he was just doing the same thing as before.
Surprisingly, this time, he made a Seven Stars Cut but fused his new intent. An Intent birthed by a combination of Sword Intent and Spear Intent. If Alex needed to call it, he would call it… \"Twin Intent.\"
And this new Twin Intent gave birth to a new brand power of Seven Stars Cut. The intent was sharp like it wanted to cut people, but if one stood in front of it, he/she would feel the intent was penetrating their skin.
Especially when the woman took the full brunt of this Seven Stars Cut.
\"!!!\" She was astonished by the sudden increase in power.
