Stage 1 transformation, Mysterious Voice and Spirit energy?

.....

"Sage Body Physique: Stage 1, Unlock," I said.

[Third person POV],

Immediately after Adrea activated stage 1 of his physique, the mana in the air a hundred meters away caught fire with violet flames.

More violet flames in the shape of pillars appeared from the ground, seemingly out of nowhere.

Adrea had the appearance of a young, naive devil fresh from hell, with white hair that was long enough to reach his feet and eyes that were all black.

Unlike his misleading appearance, the power threatening to burst out of his body spoke volumes that his seemingly small body contained power to threaten some existence that could destroy the world with a wave of their hand.

Unfortunately, before Adrea could finish activating Stage 1 in his Sage body physique, the mother ape noticed something was wrong and retreated to a distance far enough away that the violet flames couldn't do anything to it because she was not in the range they could perform any form of damage.

At this point, the monster looked at Adrea with a serious expression on its face, as opposed to the formal nonchalant demeanor it had previously displayed, indicating that it, too, recognized that its opponent's sudden change was something it had to take seriously.

Adrea, on the other hand, had an ice-cold expressionless face and muttered softly in a voice that was equally as cold and flat as his expression.

"So this is the power of my Sage Body," he said coldly and flatly, before continuing his speech with;

"So powerful. But this state will not last long," he said slightly annoyed and with a frown on his face, but some observant people might not even notice this because his voice appears to be as flat as ever and his face still expressionless.

It was as if he was devoid of emotions, unable to feel them.

With his black eyes fixed on the mother ape, he spoke to it as if he were conversing with it:

"I can barely use this state for 3 minutes, any longer will just kill me," he stopped, perhaps wanting his words to sink into anyone listening, and continued;

"That means you have less than 180 seconds to live, so enjoy it while you can," he said as he disappeared from the spot he stood.

Appearing right behind the Monster with a sword clothed with violet flames and raised horizontally above his head, Adrea slashed intending to cut the monster's head off.

Crouching down slightly to avoid Adrea's attack by a hair's breadth, the monster retaliated by jumping and aiming for a side kick from behind.

Backflipping to avoid the monster's attack, Adrea and the monster continued their fight.

After 20 seconds of failing to hit the monster, Adrea decisively decided to drop his sword and engage in close combat with the mother ape.

Adrea began his attack with a flying kick, which the monster blocked with its hands. He then used the opportunity of still being in mid-air to deliver a roundhouse kick, which the monster blocked with one hand, but this time Adrea was able to deliver damage.

Against Adrea's flames, the monster had no choice but to use its aura to coat itself to barely resist the flames and not attack, but fortunately for Adrea and unfortunately for the Monster, Adrea's roundhouse kick attack was able to break through its defense, allowing the violet flame to come into contact with its skin.

Seeing this, the monster attempted to extinguish the flames with its mana.

This would have worked if Adrea's flames were ordinary, but they weren't.

Instead of extinguishing the flame, it only made it hotter and larger as it slowly spread towards the monster's body, revealing one of the flame's attributes.

The ability to devour and use other objects or substances apart from the user's mana to fuel itself.

After a few rounds of fighting, the surroundings in a few dozen meters were destroyed beyond recognition, and violet flames slowly devoured the vitality of anything in its path as it spreads.

Both Adrea and the monster were still at a standstill as the violet flames devoured their vitality.

Yes, Adrea's vitality was devoured by his own flames for unknown reasons.

Though his vitality was devoured, it was devoured at a snail's pace in comparison to the mother ape, who had her own vitality devoured faster.

Both Adrea and the monster were becoming nervous at this point.

Adrea, because there was only a minute before he deactivated his physique powers, and the monster was afraid it would die for nothing if the fight continued in its current state.

Adrea observed his opponent while the monster did the same after delivering an attack that pushed them both back.

[Adrea POV],

'Damn. Even though I have all of this power, I can't use it to its full potential due to inexperience and lack of knowledge regarding it', I thought and wondered what I could do to turn the tide of the battle in my favor in the few seconds I have left when I heard a voice in my head.

"Make use of Spirit Energy," A voice said in my head. I was about to shout 'Who's There?' but stopped myself at the last second.

"Use Spirit Energy," said the mysterious voice once more.

This time I was truly creeped out and muttered lowly with fear in my voice, "Who's there?"

"Use Spirit Energy." The mysterious voice spoke once more.

I wasn't as terrified this time because the voice's owner was just saying the same thing repeatedly.

Instead, I was curious about something else.

'What exactly is spirit energy, and how do I use it?' I wondered.

"And how would it benefit me in my current situation?" I mumbled.
