Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 750: The Art of Syncronization

Gina's mana matched the strength of a TITAN Rank I, and had she assaulted the Valkan using only her mana, damaging it to such an extent would have been utterly impossible! However, as a Spirit Arts practitioner, Gina enveloped her mana with Spirit Energy, turning it into something far deadlier against spirits like the Valkan—that's precisely what let her inflict such heavy injuries on the spirit!

Yet the Valkan had no intention of yielding! Directly before Gina's gaze, the Valkan started to transform! The Spirit Energy Gina had sensed around this forest area abruptly grew thicker and fiercer! It felt as though some force was pulling in extra power from nature! In shock, Gina glanced about as the spirit energy swelled, then swiftly faced the Valkan again as it began devouring the thick Spirit Energy, realizing it was gearing up for action! Gina urgently yelled for Farlow's assistance! They had to eliminate the Valkan before it fully absorbed the spirit energy!

Despite Gina and Farlow's swift response, it proved too slow! The Valkan's injuries rapidly sealed as its form underwent a dramatic shift! Its claws extended, becoming longer and razor-sharp, while its body swelled to almost twice its prior size! A bizarre, blue, see-through substance coated the Valkan's frame like protective armor! Clearly forged from Spirit Energy, this glowing material with its natural sheen shielded the Valkan's shoulders, flanks, and limbs! Gina whispered in disbelief.

"What the fuck?"

ROARRRRR!!

The Valkan's thunderous roar unleashed a fierce wind gust through the forest, forcing Gina to shield her face against the overwhelming energy radiating from it! This was madness! Previously a TITAN Rank I, the Valkan now possessed the might of a TITAN Rank II! What in the world had occurred!?

Gina remained unaware, but the Valkan's metamorphosis was called Synchronization! This rare skill belonged exclusively to Spirits and Spirit Arts users bonded with spirit familiars. Synchronization involved a Spirit drawing in vast quantities of natural Spirit Energy from the environment, channeling it to surge their power beyond their usual limits! In Synchronization state, a Spirit not only amplified its strength but merged seamlessly with nature! Its recovery, perception, and spellcasting all sharpened instinctively, making the empowered Spirit appear as a wholly transformed entity!

For a Spirit Arts user like Gina, lacking the Spirits' innate link to nature, Synchronization required her companion fairies. Thus, Gina could only absorb Nature energy like the Valkan by forging a true bond with the fairy Ulyn! Unaware of this now, Gina only recognized that the Spirit had evolved into something far more threatening in an instant! With its focus locked intently on Gina, the Valkan advanced a step, pounding her heart as she scrambled for a strategy. But shock hit Gina when the Valkan veered sideways, lunging straight at Farlow!

Farlow raised his sword the moment the Valkan closed in, scarcely parrying the beast's claw strike! He rocketed backward, crashing through multiple trees, while Gina dashed toward the monster, summoning her partner aloud!

’Ulyn! I need your help! Ulyn!’

No reply came at first, and Gina feared Ulyn might ignore her entirely, but then Ulyn snapped back irritably.

’I thought I told you not to bother me unless it’s something important! Are you trying to tell me that you can’t beat a mere phantasmal beast!? My contractor can’t be so useless!’

Gina's eye twitched while evading the Valkan's tail lash, attempting a strike at its weak spot, yet the beast's fresh armor deflected it effortlessly, spinning to unleash a roar right at her!

ROAR!

BOOM!

The roar's sonic blast obliterated everything near Gina, who anchored her feet and skidded backward! Gina could hardly believe her eyes! The Valkan seemed like an entirely new creature!

’What in the world happened to it?’

Gina uttered in amazement, and Ulyn surprisingly responded.

’Tsk, so you don’t even know about mere Synchronization, I suppose. What a useless contractor I have. Well, I suppose it is the responsibility of the wise to impart knowledge to those beneath them. Now listen closely...’

Ulyn swiftly detailed all Gina needed on Synchronization, and despite Gina's irritation at Ulyn's condescending tone, she absorbed every bit intently! So that's what had transpired. Gina marveled that Spirit Energy enabled such feats! She summoned wind to form a barrier against a abrupt wind blade from the Valkan! Though the blade ripped the barrier, it lost speed enough for Gina to dodge, then she retreated further to evade more assaults! Hastily, Gina questioned her companion!

’How about us!? Can we do this Synchronization as well?’

Ulyn snorted, and Gina pictured the arrogant spirit tossing her hair haughtily as she replied.

’What do you take me for? Of course, we can do it. I am the great spirit of wind Ulyn, daughter of the Spirit Queen. I can do anything I want.’

Gina grinned, exclaiming with thrill!

’Then let’s do it.’

’Huh, what are you talking about? Of course not.’

’What!?’

Gina reeled from Ulyn's refusal, prompting Ulyn to tsk dismissively.

’I already told you I’m not interested in dealing with anything useless. You’re my contractor, so if you’re not capable of taking care of something this simple, then you don’t deserve to even have my support. I’ll be going back to sleep now.’

Ulyn's voice faded after speaking, leaving Gina to shout furiously!

’Ulyn, you bitch!’

BOOM!

A huge blast erupted as the Valkan's claw shredded a tree aiming for Gina, but she dodged yet again, cursing Ulyn once more! Though furious with Ulyn, the fairy had wisely declined Synchronization. This being Gina's initial attempt, their sync level sat at a mere 2%! Attempting it then would overwhelm Gina with the minor power spike, creating a fatal gap for the Valkan! Thus, Ulyn's rejection had unwittingly preserved Gina's life!

Gina chose to disregard Ulyn, determining she must unleash full force. She'd held back her Legion skills, believing Sage and Spirit powers sufficed against the beast, but its huge upgrade demanded her Bishop abilities too! Gina now skimmed backward over the forest floor as if ice-skating, with the Valkan relentlessly pursuing!
