Chapter 247: The Strongest Above The Sky (2/2)
He understands what Chandler is trying to say,
Even though he might manage to assimilate with Devo the Gatekeeper fast, the shockwaves caused by the locking of Devo's media will still be there.
If Devo's sheer present can destroy the room, then Rex can't imagine how powerful the shockwaves will be.
In other words, it's not a good idea to assimilate with Devo in the university.

Back to Crystalline of Mana, Rex and the others went inside the place.
The receptionists let them through instantly, they still remember how their manager need to address Rex carefully and so they also need to do that.
Entering the building, they meet the same four halls as the last time.
Rex then calls out a staff there and asks, ”I want to assimilate with a spirit, can you show me your best room for it?”
”I must give my early congratulation on reaching sixth rank sir, I hope your assimilating process is a success”, the staff replied politely.
He then continues, ”Please, right this way”
But upon hearing this, Adhara and Edward look at each other in surprise.
They thought that they come here to train, but who would've thought that Rex wants to assimilate with a spirit and is already on verge of entering the sixth rank.
”You're going to reach the sixth rank?!!”, Both Edward and Adhara shouted in a union.
Rex smiles lightly and said, ”Yep, We will depart as soon as I reach the sixth rank”
Hearing this, Edward and Adhara still gasp in shock.
But the longer they think about it, the longer they find it normal because they're talking about Rex and he's not just an ordinary man.
After walking for a moment, they arrived at huge golden doors.
The staff press the passcode on the side of the golden doors before the door opened slowly, it creates a heavy creaking sound as it reveals the room inside.
Rex looks at the room as his eyes widen, and so are Edward and Adhara.
The room is circle-shaped, spacious, and very unique compared to the other rooms,
Aside from the isolated place this room is located, the room also has a weird and different theme than the others.
This room has a more museum vibe rather than a training room.
Writings and abstract drawings filled every corner of the walls, the mana in this room is very rich, and a refreshing scent also filled the room.
In the middle of the spacious room is a circle stage,
Above the stage are two curved golden spikes with rings on their tips, runes are engraved all over the body of the spike and it's clear that it has a protection rune on them.
Rex walks inside the room slowly,
Looking at Rex and the other's expression, the staff then present proudly, ”Welcome to the Spiritual Chamber, this room is equipped with many runes with the purpose of creating the best possible environment to assimilate with a spirit. The spikes will protect the place from the shockwaves while the stage has a weakening effect on the spirit making it easier to bond with”
While the staff explained, Rex was still in awe.
But even so, Rex heard all of the explanations and was surprised about the magical stage.
For the stage to have such an effect that will weaken the spirit making it an easier time for the Awakened to assimilate with the said spirit, the stage must be a high-rank treasure.
'System, will this place be able to hold Devo?', Rex asks.
<No>
The system replied coldly making Rex frown,
Rex even was shocked for a bit after reading the system's simple answer,
With so many effects that present in this place, Rex finds it hard to believe that Devo the Gatekeeper still can beat this room.
”Can you make this place stronger?”, Rex asks.
Hearing this, the staff looks at Rex in confusion, ”This place is notorious for being able to withstand powerful spirits, only one person manages to crack the barrier around the stage”
But even after the staff tries to convince Rex,
Rex knows that the system is never wrong, ”Can you make this place stronger?”, Rex asks again for the second time.
Feeling insulted, the staff then said, ”Please demonstrate the spirit, if the place will not hold I will address this matter quickly”
Without wasting another second, Rex walks towards the stage.
The others gaze at him, while the staff has a condescending look on his face.
It's not hostile though, he's probably got hurt because some said that this beautiful place is not strong enough to hold a spirit.
Rex understands that, and he didn't mind.
After standing in the middle of the stage, a translucent barrier appears after the spikes glow.
He then looks into his inventory and summons Devo,
SWOOSH!!
The same cloudy spirit appeared inside the room with chains all over its body, a huge tidal wave of lightning energy splashes around the room.
Mists engulfed the entire place exactly after Devo got summoned from the inventory.
Upon Devo's summoning, Edward, Adhara, and the staff felt their knees weak.
Only sixth rank Awakened can sense a spirit's energy,
For Adhara, Edward, and the staff able to feel the energy, that just shows how terrifying Devo the Gatekeeper is and this completely shocks the staff.
Chandler felt his legs weak and even get his spirit suppressed, the others might not able to feel spirit energy but their danger sense can feel threatening energy.
The staff takes back what he said earlier,
He tries to raise his head to look at the stage but when he saw the spirit, his expression turns pale as his eyes widen in shock.
Devo's cold eyes glance at them before his attention falls onto Rex.
The stage also emit energy that tries to wrap around Devo's body, but then suddenly,
BLITZ!!
Devo shrugs off the energy easily as if it was nothing, his lightning eyes then look at Rex who is also looking at him calmly.
The pressure on Rex's body is powerful, but somehow Rex can endure it.
”Your brave front doesn't impress me, human...”, Devo said with its astral and low tone making Rex widen his eyes in surprise.
Rex then asks, ”You can talk?”
Devo scoffs lightly before Rex asks again, ”Are you strong?”
”What kind of question is that, I'm the strongest above the sky!”, Devo replied proudly.
But upon hearing this, the corner of Rex's mouth quirks up before he glances at Devo with determination, ”Great! Then get ready, I'm going to make your powers mine!”
