Despite not feeling well herself, Gistella recognize these three points of energy coming from the castle even with her eyes closed. She can tell that the second moon was a phenomenon created by Rex, whilst the two fiery vortexes belong to Adhara and Evelyn respectively.
Each of them is currently breaking through at the same time, and creating this inspiring sight.
As their magic cores are undergoing the changes they needed to do to achieve the eighth-rank realm, the phenomenon grew even stronger, and the mana coming from the three of them becomes more chaotic.
If Devo was the only one sustaining this phenomenon, he would definitely fail in a minute.
Hidden in the other dimension, the horn protruding out of Gistella's forehead started to vibrate with blue energy as she gather everything she has to also shield the rampaging fiery vortexes on top of the second moon.
Back during Rex's breakthrough to the sixth-rank realm, the phenomenon is already destructive.
The Faraday University alongside the room he was trying to break through in was completely decimated, it becomes the center of attention throughout the entire process. But now, this is not reaching the sixth-rank realm.
Rex, Adhara, and Evelyn are pushing through the barrier to the eighth-rank realm.
A powerful surge of mana and spirit energy swirled together above the castle, fueling these phenomena. Each is growing so intense it seemed ready to burst into catastrophic chaos. All eyes are locked onto the spectacular display this mixture of energies had created.
Not stopping at that, their bodies instinctively held their breath when a change happens.
From the center of the three phenomena that are happening right this moment, the onlookers saw something come out in a form of astral projecting. A slithering fire serpent wrapped its body around the violet vortex on the right, while a demonic-woman figure appeared at the dark red fire on the left.
It was clear that these astral creatures are Adhara and Evelyn's respective spirits.
But when the onlookers' minds were occupied by the sight of those two spirits, another spirit came crawls out of the second moon. It looks like an animal, sizzling with intense blue lunar light. As it crawled out, a pair of wings majestically spread to the sides, enveloping the entire place.
As the onlookers marveled at the two spirits in amazement with their minds completely occupied by the sight, a third spirit emerged from the second moon. It had an animalistic shape, illuminated by a bright blue lunar glow that gives a graceful air around it.
Upon exiting its home, a pair of majestic wings spread and filled the place with their grandeur.
Since Rex hasn't really used his Lunar Element aside from dealing with the Shapeshifter that went rogue in the human territory, the others were still not used to seeing this. Moreover, the sight of Amanir is also a first for Gistella who was watching this from below.
At this moment, time slowed down for a bit as the watchers marvels at the sight.
Gistella and Naela standing at the castle wall, or even Gelmar and the others that have come out from their respective homes were enthralled in a trance of the moment. None of them can avert their eyes away, this is a sight to behold.
Looking at the towering castle, their eyes were enchanted by it.
On either side of the castle lies two swirling fire vortexes with each respective spirit above them, while above the castle was the second moon with Amanir's wings spreading wide and covering the whole area.
If seen from the front, this sight can even be made into an artistic painting.
'Most wouldn't probably see this sight once, but I now saw three at the same time'
'Terrifying... their rate of growth is terrifying...'
'What a beautiful sight, so this is how an Awakened commence a breakthrough to the higher realm'
With such a sight exposed right in front of their eyes, each person has their own reactions inside their mind. Some were awed by its majesty and grandeur such as Gistella and Gelmar, while others were shocked and terrified such as Naela, Linthia, and Dindora.
It was a rare sight even for other Awakened as an Awakened in the eighth-rank realm is rare.
Many people would probably spend their lives without seeing a single seventh-rank realm Awakened, much less seeing an Awakened breaking through into the eighth-rank realm. And yet, the people in this area saw three of them at the same time.
Going towards the center of these phenomena, the three figures are sitting with crossed legs.
Under the intense tutelage of the phenomena, the bonds they have with their own respective spirits solidified into an unbreakable one. In a moment, their eyes are completely engulfed in mana and spirit energy jolted open.
Swoosh!
More power was generated, as the phenomena becomes even stronger.
Gistella and Devo are already struggling as more than half of the mix of energy is already leaking out, and the two of them are unable to contain the phenomena perfectly. But then, the formation underneath Rex, Adhara, and Evelyn glowed.
Immediately after that, a restraining force wraps around the phenomena like chains.
With the power from the restraining force, the phenomena greatly weakens as almost half of their power was stripped away. Feeling the lessening power, Devo and Gistella quickly reacted and sealed the phenomena in a complete bubble.
After managing to do that, the gushing mix of energy finally receded.
The citizens of Dalgena City felt the rush of energy ceases. Devo and Gistella were relieved that their efforts to contain the phenomena has ended and been successful. Having used up so much strength trying to contain the powerful phenomena, both of them were exhausted.
Devo falls from the sky with a crash, landing on the pedestrian street of the city.
Similar to Devo, Gistella was about to follow suit, but she was caught by Naela before she could fall. "It seems Rex has already thought of this, the formations weaken the phenomena when they went past a certain limit" Naela said.
"Yeah, I should've known. But it's fine..." Gistella replied weakly with a light smile.
It was right around this time that the two flaming vortexes were becoming less bright and starting to shrink in size. Alongside it, the spirits associated with them began to disperse into particles of energy once again. Evidently, the phenomenon had come to an end.
Naela then said lightly, "Let's go back inside, it's finished. You need to rest..."
Upon hearing this Gistella nodded her head, she exhausted herself from the attempt earlier and she feels dizzy right now. But as the two were about to reenter the castle once again to rest, their movements halted.
Crack!
Both of them heard a loud snap that seemed to rattle their eardrums.
Looking skywards at the direction of the snapping sound, they saw the second moon hasn't started weakening yet and is now making an effort to break the barrier that Gistella and Devo conjured earlier.
"Wait, the phenomenon associated with Rex hasn't ended yet?" Naela exclaimed in surprise.
Although the two fiery vortexes have already disappeared completely to the last ember, the second moon alongside Amanir is still glowing strong and even keeps on getting stronger. No visible cues of the end can be seen.
If the second moon keeps getting stronger, then the barrier would shatter completely.
Gistella and Naela don't know how far the explosive energy from the second moon would reach, but letting it be like this would increase the chance of their castle and capital city being located by the others.
The Humming Damned Forest that provides perfect cover would be useless then.
"Urggh... I- I need to keep increasing the barrier's power" Gistella grunted, trying to stand on her own in order to strengthen the barrier covering the second moon. But she can barely stands, it's clear that she doesn't have much strength left.
Naela who saw this quickly supported her, "Don't do anything reckless, you're still sick!"
But even though that is the case, Gistella is determined that she would still keep on trying. Even though it might not work at the end of the day, she can still say that she tried her best and still contribute to the pack.
Just as she was about to force her power, the castle's entrance suddenly slammed open.
Brak!
A loud sound was created by the door slamming onto the wall, and this attracted Gistella and Naela's attention. Gazing at the castle door, the two widened their eyes seeing two figures that stepped out of the castle with immense bearing.
Flames dance around them, like the embodiment of fire themselves.
It doesn't take long for Gistella and Naela to recognize the two figures as Adhara and Evelyn.
Despite knowing that the two are definitely Adhara and Evelyn, their appearance has undergone a huge change. Sensing the mix of mana and spirit energy around their bodies, it's logical to guess that these are their Gladiator Forms.
"Mmphh... so this is what it feels like to be in a Gladiator Form"
"Pretty weird I must say, it's like having a second layer of skin. But I'll get used to it"
Standing on the left is Adhara, her body is now covered in a lavender-hued sabrina dress with white linings that appear to be burning with purple flames. Her glistening jade-plump left thigh peeks out of the dress, and a set of white battle boots cover her knees.
Her Gladiator Form gives her a unique look yet also amplifies her enchanting appearance.
But the change in her clothes was not the most eye-catching thing that can be seen on her, it was the purple fiery snake that wraps around her waist that was the most eye-catching feature. The snake's head hovers above and behind Adhara's head, filled with power and hissing with hostility.
From the looks of it, the purple fiery snake seems to be a part of her clothes.
Meanwhile, Evelyn is walking gracefully on the right. Upon seeing her appearance, the onlookers would instantly fix their eyes on her hair which has turned into a burning dark red fire that sizzles skywards.
It was the most notable feature, her natural blazing red hair has now turned into an actual fire.
Much like Adhara's transformation, Evelyn's attire went through a transformation too. She now had a pair of black and gold vambraces only covering from her elbow all the way down to her hands that seemed to have turned bright, almost resembling molten lava. Waving left and right, she also has a weird tail that ended in a heart-shaped, almost like a demon.
It's probably due to her spirit's nature that makes her Gladiator Form looks this way.
The entire look gives off a magical air about her.
On top of that, her eyes are now fiery dark red, burning anyone that meets her eyes.
A few lines also graced her face, although they did not take on any recognizable shape. The markings on her cheeks were a deep red while the ones beside her eyes were a radiant white, adding an extra dimension that made her beauty complete.
From Gistella and Naela's perspective, they are witnessing two goddesses of fire.
Adhara and Evelyn changed completely.
The powerful reign of mana and spirit energy that the two emitted were so thick that they makes the air around them tremble, and their eyes hosted immense power then slowly travels up to look at the rampaging second moon.
Seeing that the barrier was about to shatter, Adhara and Evelyn exchange a meaningful look.
Upon giving each other a meaningful look, their eyes then shifted back to the second moon above the castle. "I don't think the barrier will hold much longer, and if the energy went rampant then the castle would be exposed" Evelyn mutters.
"Well then, we can't let that happen can we?" Adhara replied with a smirk.
Evelyn also nodded her head firmly as a similar smirk appeared on her face, "Shall we...?"
