In spite of the oddness and the thick air between them because of the incident that has transpired, for this moment alone they are no longer adversaries, their excitement is overwhelming. After their recent breakthrough, their disregard everything as their joy is uncontainable.
The blazing purple and dark red fire melded together instead of clashing violently.
Each swayed beside the other creating friction of mana that doesn't turn chaotic, instead, it forms into a complementary pair. Something like this is unheard of, and yet their fire elements which are different in nature showed that this is possible.
Only Gistella and Naela can bear the sight of their new forms, hovering in front of their eyes.
Gelmar and the others weren't graced with the sight of their presence due to the castle's wall, but they can feel the saturated mana coming from the inner part of the castle. But before their minds can wander, two blazing jets of fire flew into the sky.
From below, the sight looks mesmerizing especially due to the night sky.
Upon reaching the base of the second moon, the two blazing jets of fire separated and went over to the left and right side of the second moon respectively. When the fire around them ceased, their appearance finally comes into the display.
Looking from below, the Supernaturals recognized the two as their master's inner circle.
Despite their drastic transformation from the last time the Supernaturals saw them, Adhara and Evelyn were still recognizable. Everyone present to witness this scene gasped in disbelief at their sight, and some even had to rub their eyes multiple times to make sure they weren't imagining things.
Their new master is shrouded in an air of mystery, and they only knew so little about him.
It was still a mystery for the group of Supernaturals as to what kind of creature Rex and the others really are. Despite their human appearance, the display Rex showed back then clearly indicates that he was not just a human.
Although only a few witnessed Rex's display, the news quickly spreads to the others.
Some thought that Rex and the others had undergone a dark ritual to retain the body of a human, while others theorized that they were cursed and gained a human form. But none of them expected that not only were they are a being of unknown, yet also has the power of an Awakened!
Just from Rex's objective in taking them in alone shows that he's a super strong entity.
Followed by the fact that they are given magical items as if they were candy further accomplishes that suspicion, and now they need to swallow even harder finding that Adhara and Evelyn also have Awakened powers.
Since they lived in the human territory for years, they are quite familiar with Awakened.
Now that their eyes bear witness to the condensed mana mixed with spirit energy that envelops Adhara and Evelyn's entire bodies, they realized that the two are not regular Awakened either.
"What even are they...? They even have elemental affinities too"
"I never know an Awakened can have that kind of power"
"I-I think it's a Spirit Gladiator Form, a technique used by eighth-rank realm Awakened and above. I've seen it in a documentary from the UWO. But it was only a text explanation, I don't know it would look like this"
Upon hearing this comment, the other Supernaturals gasped once again.
"E-Eighth-rank realm...? And that's not even Lord Rex" Linthia muttered out of pure shock, her mind can't quite process the many events that are happening this night. None of the events that occurred hasn't managed to surprise her.
It was a pure night of hysteria, their hearts can't take even a moment of rest.
While the group of Supernaturals is witnessing this shocking sight from down below, Adhara and Evelyn float beside the second moon before they spread their arms to the sides and channeled their new powers.
Although they had just reached a new higher realm, they showed exceptional energy control.
Swoosh!
Like a crawling army of ants, the mana mixed with spirit energy inside their bodies slowly traverses slowly and through their arms before their palms started to gush with violent purple and dark red flames.
The gathered spirit energy exceeds the amount of mana, which can indicate one thing only.
A spell that makes them gain the Spiritual Awakened title, the second circle Pneuma Spell.
Upon achieving a breakthrough to the eighth-rank realm, an Awakened doesn't only become unified with their respective spirit through the magic core link that has been established. It's definitely more than that which separates them away from the seventh-rank realm.
Provided by the link between their magic core is direct knowledge about the spirit's power.
It's like the Awakened turning into the spirit itself that has been accustomed to the associated elemental powers for hundreds of years, pushing them into an even stronger state of understanding of their combined powers.
But the benefit doesn't end there for Awakened that assimilated with a High-rank Spirit.
For these elites Awakened, achieving the eighth-rank realm also provides them with abilities that are inside their associated spirit's arsenal. Some need a little bit of training to use those abilities, while some instantly learned them.
Everything was possible because of the link between their magical core.
Adhara's spirit was given by Rex and is also in a high-rank spirit despite being new to the high-rank realm, while Evelyn's spirit is also good enough that Rex doesn't need to give her a new one. Both of them seem to instantly learn a Pneuma Spell upon reaching the eighth-rank realm.
A second circle Pneuma Spell that they are about to use right now.
"Pneuma Spell, Call for Flames of Hell!"
"Pneuma Spell, Slithering Chains of Jealousy!"
SWOOSH!!
Upon the chant from their mouths, their fires become rampant as the spirit energy infused into them makes them burn even stronger. It was destructive enough that the surrounding temperature rises uncontrollably.
Soon enough, the purple fiery snake around Adhara's waist slithers forward swiftly.
As the purple fiery snake gets closer to the second moon that is already on the brink of shattering the combination barrier from Devo and Gistella, it started gaining mass rapidly until it turned outright humungous.
Burning with the bright violet flame, the snake wrapped its body around the second moon.
It takes only a couple of moments for the entire second moon to be wrapped by the purple fiery snake's body as if the snake is choking the prey with its muscles. Under such suppression, the energy from the second moon lessened greatly.
Despite that, the force from the second moon keeps on getting stronger and expanding.
Many entities wouldn't be able to break free from the purple fiery snake's entrapment, and yet the power from the second moon still stubbornly keeps on pushing. But that is when a few portals appeared.
Pinching the second moon at the center, the portals started burning with dark red fire.
Evelyn's hair become even more blazing as she channeled her power into the portals, and with a twisting motion from her hands, the portals cough out the hellish flame and poured it onto the second moon.
Like a tidal wave of dark red fire, the flames enhanced the purple fiery snake.
At this current moment, the entire surface of the second moon was enveloped entirely by the combination of Adhara and Evelyn's Pneuma Spells. Now, the second moon looks like the sun instead due to its surface being covered by dark red fire.
Upon doing that, they can feel that the phenomenon has been contained.
"I think this will do, he should also be finishing up soon" Adhara mutters while looking at the second moon, she can feel that the lunar elements were completely contained inside without any spark of it seeping out.
Evelyn also nods her head, "Yep, it'll hold. What's taking him so long anyway?"
"Probably it was because this is his Lunar element which is his weaker side, or it might also be so strong that achieving unification is way harder for him compared to us" Adhara replied, expecting that Rex would come out a different man.
Following that logic, she expected that his Spirit Gladiator Form would be very powerful.
After successfully thwarting the second moon that was about to expose their location to the rest of the world, Adhara and Evelyn descend back to the castle to meet with Gistella and Naela. Having already finished their training sessions, they decided to wait until Rex had completed his.
But it shouldn't take too long judging from the second moon that is slowly losing power.
It's the sign of Rex and his spirit achieving harmony.
Even though they were excited to see what Rex would look like after he achieved the eighth-rank realm, it was more of them wanting to show Rex their Spirit Gladiator Form instead than anything.
Oblivious to them, Rex inside the room is having some difficulty at this current moment.

Ratmawati City, Sector Two, the Executor's castle.
Inside the castle lies a majestic sight of a throne room with a figure sitting on the black throne that signs the ruler of the entire place. The walls are filled with intricate carvings, gold and black accents, and glowing tapestries that hide long-forgotten tales.
Polished marble compromised the floor, and the ceiling is high and adorned with a chandelier.
Huge flags with golden handles can be seen hanging on the wall pointing to the path at the center, each of them having different colors, signing the different kingdoms they belong to. Towering columns line the edges of the room, adding an air of awe to the throne room, and numerous kinds of artifacts from ages gone by can be seen filling the throne room.
Despite the grandeur and old style, the throne room remains spotless.
"Please! Please! Spare me, I don't want to die!"
At the center of the room where the throne lies, the figure sitting on the throne can be seen holding a man by his neck with a chilling cold look on his face. He was clearly the Executor, and he was lifting the man off of the ground without any sign of struggle on his face.
Even with the swirling mana as the man tries to struggle, the Executor kept a straight face.
Scattered around the throne were dead bodies that seems to have the soul sucked from them, leaving only an empty vassal that has their skin decayed to the point of turning pale dark blue.
"Be grateful, you're life wouldn't end up a waste with this" the Executor said nonchalantly.
Not even waiting for the man to respond, the Executor tightens his grip on the man's neck before a weird glow appeared in his hand. "Please, please, please- ARRGHH!!!" the man exclaimed in pure anguish and agony.
Purple substances were pulled out from the man's mouth, and absorbed by the Executor.
Upon the man's skin turning pale dark blue like the littered corpses around the throne, the Executor threw the man to the side like a bag of trash. With a satisfied look, the Executor then leans back on the throne, content with his filling.
Just as he did that, the door to the throne room was knocked a couple of times.
With nothing but a wave of the Executor's hand, the door swung open revealing Brigitta alongside a towering man standing beside her. Not a glimpse of energy came from this man, but the way he brought himself shows that he was at the same standing as Brigitta.
Gazing at the Executor, the two started to make way politely.
The man noticed the corpses and can't help but frown, it was his first time seeing what had happened to the Awakened that was brought into this castle. A wicked act of one entity has done this, an entity that called himself a True Human.
"Greetings to the Executor, I've come back as requested," Brigitta said with a bow.
Following Brigitta, the man standing beside him also bowed slightly before he introduced himself, "It's a pleasure to meet with you, Executor. My name is John, and I believe out of the leaders you only haven't met with me"
After Brigitta had bowed, the man to her side bowed slightly as well and then introduced himself, "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Executor. I'm John, and I'm the only one of the leaders that you haven't met yet"
But instead of listening to John's introduction, the Executor's eyes glisten in excitement.
"A Magus! What a pleasant surprise..."
