An hour had to pass before the expert could finally open his eyes and regain focus on his environment. Noah had waited patiently for him. His gaze blank and his aura strong.
"You're finally awake, human. I had begun to consider simply taking your memories," Noah's tone felt chilly. His audience's face contorted in fear. He tried to move but he found himself bound by chains of silver ice.
The chains originated from almost all points of the cage's bars. They were sturdy.
"Please don't kill me," the middle-aged-looking man begged as he sat up, allowing his dark hood to fall on his back.
"Yet you tried to kill me. I fail to see your logic, human," Noah's gaze turned colder and colder. He stood moving to crouch before the man.
"Why were you following me?" He asked staring straight into the dark eyes of the expert. Noah already desired to kill the man. He was a disappointment to the honor fourth-tier cultivators had. He had even seen tier 3 cultivators with more honor.
The man remained silent, unwilling to make eye contact with the being before him. His existence told him the breathtakingly beautiful male before him wasn't human.
Noah grabbed hold of the expert's face and the man saw silver ice spreading on his chin. He could kill him anytime he wanted.
"Did someone send you?" Noah asked, starting to lose patience.
"Speak," He commanded and the man shook.
"No," the expert nodded terror in his eyes.
"Then what?" he commanded furrowing his brows even if he felt absolutely nothing but desire to leave that place.
"I… I hunted people," The expert announced already shaking. His mind trembled at that disgusting revelation. Thankfully Noah couldn't feel disgust.
Still, he understood what the expert meant and shook his head with a sigh. His memories from Ersha were filled with interactions with humans. 'What a pity,' he thought to himself.
"You hunted people for sports. In this war?" Noah tried to gain a full understanding of the man's words. The expert nodded a tad bit stunned by the lack of change from Noah.
Letting go of the expert, Noah stood but maintained his gaze on him.
"I wasted my time in short," he commented out loud and the man's eyes winded in realization.
"I'll give you all I have gotten from my kills! please don't kill me! I'll even stop hunting people, just let me go!" The experts begged frantically. Desperation in his eyes. He looked mad.
"All that you've gotten? What makes you think they will be of use to me," Noah stated tilting his head.
"Gold coins. Lots of them," the expert stated, a grin almost appearing on his face.
"With the prices of commodities spiking due to the war having money will be a good gain," the man tried to make his offer sweet.
Noah fell silent, playing along with the man's desperate measures to remain alive. If only he could feel mockery and humor. He remembered what they were though.
"That's true," Noah commented placing his hand on his chin.
"Yes, yes, young master. I have gold coins even large ones. They number thousands. People tend to carry as many coins as they can with them," the expert explained finding ease in Noah's interest. He could get away with it.
"That's interesting. Okay," Noah exclaimed allowing the expert free of his binds.
The man was ecstatic. He knelt before Noah and bowed. Noah could smell the evil that poured out of the man's unseen gaze. There was no remedy.
"I want everything," Noah announced and the expert instantly removed one of his three rings to lay it before him.
"I keep all the money I get here," the expert stated with a forced smile. He was a good actor, he had lived over a century after all. Only, he couldn't fool Noah who had memories of someone who had lived millions. Although he could currently only scratch the tips of that immense database.
Noah allowed his mental waves to seep into the ring and saw the view change. He gained access to that storage space and saw that the expert had been honest. All colors of coins existed there. Even a heap of gold coins existed in the middle.
He calculated the total amount and nodded. A bit over 250,000 worth of large gold coins existed there. The man would have had to hunt for years to get that huge sum. Even before the way started.
The cage turned to wisps of light at that point and joy shone on the experts face.
"Thank you. Thank you very much," the expert stood ready to leave the presence of the being before him.
Noah remained silent as he transferred the coins into his inventory. His gaze remained on the expert as he began to float away. After the man reached the mountain, he shattered the sound barrier to fly away.
A cold grin cracked on Noah's face at that point.
"One… two… three. I let him go," He muttered. "I wish I could feel pleasure from this action," he shook his head as he turned into a silver streak that moved so quickly the sound barrier could barely react in time.
Noah created a silver streak in the sky as he allowed his aura to unfold into the world.
He found the escaping expert still flying across the regions and the man tried to speed up as terror overwhelmed his senses.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom He remained too slow compared to his follower. The hunter being hunted.
Noah's silver figure arrived at a space the expert had not yet reached.
Immediately raising his right hand, a sword of dense silver light appeared in his grip. Noah waved that construction of light at the incoming expert. And a huge curved silver beam erupted forward to land on the expert's chest before he could properly set up his defenses.
The blinding attack severed the man in two before burning his body into nothingness. Light was hot.
[You have killed human LVL 200]
[You have gained exp]
Noah shook his head as a green triangular core floated toward him. He had been too dangerous to be left alone. So Noah had taken it upon himself to rid the world of that monstrosity. He would do the same to any other ones he found. He had the power to after all.
