"How about it? Do you like this?" Noah asked, his face twisted with clear stress. "Do you want more?!"
Elayne's sharp eyes gleamed brightly as her giant body exploded into countless black pieces of corrupt wood. A small fragment flew into the skies, carrying her true spirit core, and reformed into her humanoid shape.
"There you are."
Noah instantly activated Lifeblood Exceed Level 5. He reached her in a flash and smashed her head into the pavement below, creating an immense explosion of blood flames and shadow void that distorted and shattered space while consuming her body.
"Perish!"
However, Elayne was glowing.
She spread her arms and hugged Noah tightly, refusing to let go.
"What sort of life have you gone through to possess such a tormented soul?"
"...!!!"
Noah felt something touch his very soul and heart.
Fear surged through him. He tried to push her away, but he couldn't. His hands simply phased through her ethereal body.
"What?!"
