Chapter 1626 - 1626. Holding back
Waves of golden flames crashed on Noah, but they didn’t manage to pierce his skin. They didn’t even burn him. Attacks at that level couldn’t hurt his middle tier body.
Noah’s consciousness expanded to find King Elbas. The expert was behind his army of fiery puppets, and his hands moved non-stop to create shining inscriptions.
’I can’t give him time to create formations,’ Noah thought before shooting through the flames again.
The puppets shattered whenever Noah crossed them. They couldn’t do anything against his physical might. He could fly through the golden flames and reach King Elbas again, but the expert repeated his evasive maneuver.
"Do you want to fight me in a battle of resilience?" Noah shouted before chasing after King Elbas.
King Elbas never stopped deploying fiery puppets. Armored humanoid creatures and magical beasts of various sizes filled the battlefield and threw their flames toward Noah, but their attacks didn’t do anything. They didn’t even manage to slow him down.
Noah punched and sprinted without ever taking a break to inspect his situation. Giving time to King Elbas was a fatal mistake that he couldn’t commit.
’Fine then,’ Noah thought once he grew bored of those relentless exchanges.
Noah waited until King Elbas materialized in a new position before activating the unstable substance. Raw power flowed inside his black vessels and gave him the chance to reach his opponent in an instant.
King Elbas didn’t expect that sudden burst of power, but he was ready for that event. His figure exploded into a wave of raging flames when Noah was about to reach him. That fiery attack managed to slow him down and make him fail his offensive, and the puppets didn’t hesitate to launch another wave of fire that engulfed his body.
Noah spat his flames. His black fire burnt the golden one that filled the sky. It also expanded until it covered the entire battlefield, and all the puppets eventually vanished under his powerful innate ability.
King Elbas soon became visible. He was in a spot far away, and his hands continued to leave inscriptions on the sky. He also snapped his fingers at some point, and the lingering black flames vanished as his influence spread.
Noah arrived on top of King Elbas in an instant, but a golden radiance blinded him before he could reach his opponent. A series of snake-like items also entangled themselves around his arms and tried to restrain his movements.
Noah tore those restraints apart and used his consciousness to keep track of King Elbas’ position. The expert was still under him, but his figure started to vanish when he sensed those mental waves.
The Demonic Sword quickly came out of his separate space and landed in his hand. Noah waved the blade and launched a massive curved singularity toward the expert.
"I was waiting for that!" King Elbas shouted, and a series of inscriptions lit up on his robe.
The singularity tried to fall on King Elbas, but its structure grew unstable before it could reach him. Energy began to leak out of the attack until it exploded into a dense wave of power.
That violent energy engulfed Noah and flung him away. His consciousness also lost track of King Elbas’ position during those short seconds, and more flames landed on his figure.
’This is getting annoying,’ Noah cursed in his mind before summoning Duanlong, Snore, and Night.
The dragon took care of absorbing the flames in the environment. Night fused with the world and preceded Noah whenever he charged toward his opponent. Snore struggled to keep up with the pace of the battle, but it launched feathers whenever King Elbas tried to activate his evasive maneuver.
King Elbas slowly lost his confidence against that relentless offensive. He didn’t want to use too many inscribed items, but the situation had become too dangerous after Noah revealed his puppets.
A series of inscriptions suddenly became visible on the battlefield. Noah felt that those lines lacked part of their structure, but he never lingered too much on them since he had to keep pressuring King Elbas.
The inscriptions gave birth to a series of trails of golden light that converged toward Noah and surrounded his whole figure. They didn’t initially manage to do anything, but they soon started to slow down his movements.
"I’ve spent years with you," King Elbas announced from the back of the battlefield. "I have memorized your battle style, and I have already invented many countermeasures."
The golden light hovering above his skin triggered something peculiar. The flames that had tried to pierce his skin since the beginning reappeared and began to detonate.
Countless explosions happened on Noah’s skin. His consciousness couldn’t expand with so much destruction happening around him.
More flames flew toward Noah, but he didn’t remain in the same spot. He shot upward and let his abrupt acceleration take care of the light that surrounded his body.
The golden light tried to resist that pressure, but black roots soon came out of his palm and covered his figure. A layer of dark matter also appeared above his skin to protect him from the corrosive aura.
King Elbas’ ability couldn’t survive against the parasite. Noah soon found himself able to scan the environment again, and he quickly discovered his opponent in a spot covered with inscriptions.
Noah shot forward and waved his blade multiple times. A rain of singularities fell toward King Elbas, but he snapped his fingers and made those attacks explode.
Noah was waiting for that. He transformed into a black blade that pierced the violent energy and made him reach King Elbas in an instant.
The expert didn’t expect Noah to be so reckless. His skin had become quite fragile after the golden light and multiple detonations. Crossing the violent energy had opened many cuts.
The inscriptions lit up before Noah could crash on King Elbas. They summoned a series of middle tier golems that radiated the same aura as before. Flames tried to reappear on his skin, but the Demonic Form took care of that influence.
The golems slammed on Noah and tried to restrain his movements, but the parasite made them basically useless. Pure golden flames and inscriptions made their bodies, but the corrosive aura destroyed them in no time.
Noah could finally continue his assault on King Elbas after the golem vanished. His blade descended again, but he deployed the dark world before the singularities came out of his weapon.
King Elbas had to endure the pressure generated by the dark world and the incoming singularities. He used most of his power to activate a gem that made him teleport outside the technique, but he found Noah waiting for him there.
Noah didn’t hesitate to slash with his sword. King Elbas partially transformed into a wave of golden flames, but blood spilled in the area and burnt when it touched the fire.
King Elbas tried to leave again, but Noah followed his consciousness and enveloped him inside the dark world. His sword was ready to launch another storm of singularities, but he held it back in that situation.
"I can almost match you without using the best inscribed items in my space-ring," King Elbas laughed while inspecting the Demonic Sword.
The outcome of the battle didn’t resemble a loss. King Elbas had almost forced Noah to go all-out, even if he were overall weaker than him. The expert also had many trump cards in his space ring that he decided not to use.
