Spirit and body become one.

A miraculous phenomenon, the manifestation of a person’s inner strength.

Such union grants an extraordinary power, one that knows no bounds: the Spirit Mode.

In order to quickly awaken the Spirit Mode, Lied together with Zaccharias joined a cluster of dead people seeking reincarnation by passing Mictlan’s trials.

They started the second trial as a pack of hungry jaguars surrounded them.

Luna breathed a great sigh of relief as she saw Lied unharmed.

“Guess there’s no reason to worry” Eduardus chuckled.

“Hey lad, don't scare us like that!” Hector shouted.

The human was so focused that everything they said went through one ear and out the other. The jaguars positioned themselves around the male, however, instead of attacking him, the animals appeared to be afraid.

“The jaguars are hesitating?” Eduardus said.

“Eh, not too shabby” Zaccharias adjusted his hat and smiled proudly.

“Did Lied do something?” Liana asked him.

“The spirit is able to bring about sensations, feelings and emotions to others. In this situation, Lied is unwittingly compelling them to feel fear by the law of the strongest” the talking crow enlightened her.

In other words, Lied was more powerful than the jaguars, that is why his Sensitivity worked on them.

“This trial’s pretty much in the bag!” Hector perked up considerably after hearing that.

“Is it?” the crow wondered.

Lied stepped forward as he took down the two nearest jaguars with bone-shattering kicks. The mammals snapped out of it and attacked ferociously from the flanks. He used Visibility so as to block their bites and delivered them chin jabs. The felines howled in agony.

“Is Lied, by any chance, a martial arts fighter?” Eduardus asked suddenly.

“No” Zaccharias replied.

“Where do those natural movements come from then?”

“Well, we could say that his spirit is awakening from its slumber.”

“Slumber…?”

…

Ten minutes had gone by. Lied stood unscratched as the opponents truly were not on a par with him.

“They keep showing up one after another” Hector found it odd.

“There must be something we are failing to understand…” Eduardus said.

“Now, will Lied figure out in time?” Zaccharias murmured.

The boy took a short break. The reason he was in a rush is because he did not want to run out of stamina again. At the end of the day, it was a thinking test…
