Midnight Crystal (Part 53)

Adam knew how to use Spirit to its full potential, he had learned how to summon the second stage in Fall Hill Prison and had since seen The Will used by many Phantoms as well as what their Spirits looked like.

Some monsters used their auras in front of Adam as well, it was less frequent but he had experience.

Adam had noticed that the first stage Spirit, was always depicted in the form of a weapon. Even in his case, it was like that. His first stage Spirit looked like a needle, which had been his primary weapon from the very first day of being a Phantom until now.

Thus, Adam decided that the skull hovering above Plague Reaper was nothing more than his second-stage Spirit. It was logical because this skull was more like an essence and a silhouette, which was a clear sign of the second stage, than a weapon.

But... as it turned out, he was very wrong.
