POP! POP! POP!...
He could feel the bodies of the Celestials get squeezed down by the scorching pressure of flames before they were imploded into fiery balls of fire, the flames sneaking into their orifices as they exploded them from the inside and shattered their Origins.
One, two, three…numerous pops that represented deaths rang out before Noah laughed in the world of flames, his eyes opening as he gave a command for the flames to clear away, his gaze locking toward the only two beings that were still alive within the area of his authority.
BOOM!
Two Star Forging Celestials neared him with their spectacular attacks, their bodies steaming and tan as luminous golden veils of light covered them. Their expressions were maddened with fury and anger as amidst all of this, they seemed to have forgotten that they were just acting as assassins!
The sight of the circular field under Noah's authority was gradually becoming visible as the beings watching had to blink their eyes multiple times to make sure they were seeing the correct scene...
Chapter 534 - Just Who Needs to be Saved?!
Kazuhiko watched the brilliantly shining domain of flames clearing up instantly, showing the expert control of the being causing this as the sight within it nearly caused his eyes to bulge out.
Only three beings remained in the area under Noah's authority! It was the two Star Forging Celestials as well as Noah, and that was it! Everything else was a burnt and unrecognizable mass of flesh…
The colors of the iridescent and dominating authorities shimmered in the starry expanse of space as the breath of many beings was taken away by it. Kazuhiko looked at this with an unbelievable gaze as he shook his head.
'F.u.c.k.i.n.g hell...that was seven World Rank experts, right?'
His thoughts could not help but comment as he observed the burnt and bloody remains around Noah, his body now being covered by a shimmering circle of water that deflected the attacks of the Star Forging Celestial Commanders. But the main point of what he just saw still stuck in Kazuhiko's mind!
7 World Rank Experts! Dead with a single move!
7!
These weren't just flies or common beings. They were monsters that had lived for hundreds of years to gone their skills and abilities.
Yet in the face of a single being using their Authority, they were wiped away!
"I'm gonna have to thank you for being nice enough to bring so many of you this time around."
Noah's clear voice could distinctly be heard as he stared at the two Star Forgers with a smile, using the authority of the Law of Water to build this defensive and illusory field to actually withstand their attacks.
His body was currently rapidly eating up the Fate Lines of the 7 dead Commanders, his percentage in the law of fate already reaching 40% as it continued to climb forward!
His gaze stood upon the two Star Forging Realm experts as he knew he could not let them go, the rewards they held with them being too abundant. With their defeat, it would mean that just today, he would possibly pierce through the halfway point in the Supreme Law.
His eyes looked at the faces of the two assassins as possible identities came to him because of their skills. These were two of some of the more powerful Commanders under the banner of Aldrich, their entrance here showing simply how much importance was placed on this matter.
Not just one of them was sent, but two! As Noah looked at them with a hungry gaze that wanted to devour, they looked at him with even deadlier gazes as he had effectively taken down powerful commanders they should have been protecting right under their eyes.
RUMBLE!
No words were spared as from one of the Star Forgers, numerous needle point golden swords erupted en masses while the other reinforced his body with essence of fate and fire to move towards Noah with out hesitation.
Even with the use of Authorities, these beings that were an entire realm above Noah had been able to withstand it with their powerful reinforcements, as well as the fact that they comprehended more of the law of fate than the dead World Rank Commanders!
They prepared to complete their mission even with the deadly power showed as in their beliefs, they knew the strain of using the Authority granted by laws was enormous, and already saw themselves being able to pierce through his defense in just a few minutes.
These few minutes would be crucial as they knew with their appearance here, they had set a precedent that would cause the war to become even deadlier as beings of high ranks could start moving at this moment.
Just a matter of minutes, and they believed it would be enough! What they didn't know was how wrong their assumptions were, and the fact that Noah was only just beginning to use all of his abilities!
As he kept the Authorities of the laws of water and fire active, Noah appeared and disappeared at light speed as he only became a wisp of a flame, dodging the many needle like golden blade and the crackling hands trying to tear his clone apart.
When it came to those a level above him, he saw that the use of Authority would allow him to restrict their movements while heavily boosting him, cutting the gap in their strength as his other skills would more than make up for it.
Even the Flame Lord's Armament he was adorning granted him a level of protection where very little damage that he could not dodge from the Star Forgers got to him!
Now, all he had to do was overpower them with his wide array of abilities! Using the boosts of the two Authorities, he began with the spectacular abilities of <
Even with this, there was still his transformation skills that he could use, and abilities from the seven deadly sins! He had many choices, but he went with the one he liked the most for its destructiveness and splendor.
His hands crackled as the abilities of the Juvenile Terror began to crackle with wildness, his heart expecting the crazy effects of his Aether Rays that had gained the support of blooming a Portal of Terror with every hit on top of their ability to chain between enemies.
Now that he had two enemies, just how would this scene play out?
RUMBLE!
The many eyes watching this scene as well the beings of the Dark Expanse that were rushing towards the Verittas Fortress nearly wiped their brows at the deadly show of abilities that showed themselves on their illusory screen, some of them even coming to a stop as they saw the scene they were heading to rapidly changing, with a shocking thought arising in their minds!
'This...does he even need to be saved?!'
Chapter 535 - A Realm Above? So What!
In a fight against beings that were an entire realm above yours, what exactly would you do?
Others would either run for their lives, and those more proficient would use experience and genius to outsmart these stronger enemies. In the case of Noah, he had no need to run for his life nor even outsmart his enemies- he chose the most direct route of force!
Yes, they were more powerful than him, with their bodies covered by the immense energies one could only feel from an actual star. But as long as he could withstand this power, he could use something that they and nobody else in this Novus Galaxy had- immense reserves of mana unlike anything ever seen before.
With the use of two Authorities, he was able to withstand their dreadful attacks. Now, he would do the one thing that he could to slowly begin tearing down their defenses, and he would do it by no other way than fully utilizing his unique ability and simply spam his skills!
RUMBLE!
Aether rays released from him in a flash of dark color as they soon reached the body of the Star Forger that continued to release numerous golden blades of light, this ray that was a mixture of chaos and aether striking him as instantly after, a pulsating Portal of Terror bloomed right at his face before exploding with a horrendous force.
But this wasn't the complet
e scene as right after that ray of aether struck him and the portal bloomed, that same ray went to hit the other Star Forger that utilized the law of fate and fire, chaining onto him as the same scene repeated itself!
But ridiculously, the chaining ray of aether did not stop as it returned to smash again into the first being, going back and forth between the two beings rapidly until ten chains were established.
One must know that each time they chained and hit the figures of the Star Forgers, a Portal of Terror that released destructive energies would bloom and rip into the bodies of the powerful beings, this attack being extremely deadly and fast paced!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
The chaining aether ray stopped as the destructive enemies of the Portals of Terror lingered a bit longer, their energies causing the bodies of the two Celestials to shimmer with light as they still protected themselves.
Their eyes looked towards Noah contemplative as to them, this deadly attack had actually caused their luminous defenses to dim, and thought that it should have been an ability which had a high cost of mana for it to be able to damage beings of their power. Thus, they became even bolder as they waited for this being to tire himself out in the next few seconds before they pounced, taking his life even before the powerful figures of the Dark Expanse could respond!
Yet as they began to move their essence to send out their attacks, their eyes expanded as they saw a similar ray of aether rush towards them. And another. And another.
ZAP! BOOM! ZAP!...
Every single ray came with it more than 10 Portals of Terror, the rays chaining between the two Star Forging Celestials as they didn't even have the time to separate, thus they received double the damage from the close proximity of the Portals of Terror that bloomed from each of them!
ZAP!
"..."
Many beings watched with agape expressions as the powerful Star Forgers were put in a constant defensive position, terrible destructive portals releasing close to them every half a second as they used their huge reserves of energy to reinforce their defenses, the constraints of Noah's two Authorities still around them as they believed this being would tire himself out of energy sooner or later.
This thought that Noah would be stopping these horrendous attacks that should naturally cost a lot of mana to use so frequently in order for them to retaliate...would actually be the nail on the coffin for these hundreds-year-old monsters at the Star Forging Realm!
This was because many watched in stupefaction as the 9th Infernal Lord did not even seem to be putting in all that much work, his body regal wreathed in flames and a bubble of shimmering water protected him, his hands spread out as chaotic rays of darkness left every second to smash into his enemies. Only a light smile and a look of anticipation was present on his face as this was the only thing he did.
No other attacks, no other ridiculously colorful abilities, just the constant spam of aether rays that had the attributes of chaining and summoning portals of terror every time they hit!
But just this...was actually more than enough as dark expression covered the faces of the two Star Forging Realm experts, feeling their energy draining lower and lower from defending against the terrible attacks as their enemy just continued to throw more of them.
I'm their minds as they could only defend against these terrible attacks without even being able to retaliate, they were only thinking how his energy should soon be expanded, right?
"..."
Yet many watched with disbelief as the grandeur of Star Forging beings was stripped away every passing second, the single Infernal Lord keeping them all at bay as their illusory golden defensive shields became thinner and thinner, their faces becoming darker as time passed!
At this moment, a few across the battlefield had actually begun to question their awareness as they actually began to wonder if the powerful auras of the two assassins really was at the Star Forging Realm.
Had their senses tricked them? Disbelief was spreading across the minds of many as the expected power and Domination that beings of such a realm should have been capable of causing was all but gone, the both of them left to simply defend as they could do nothing else!
Aside from the disbelief and stupefaction, the surrounding Celestials were already feeling deep fear as even these powerful beings were actually being dominated by this single Infernal Lord.
ZAP! BOOM!
The faces of the two Star Forging Realm experts became ashen at this moment as they sensed their nearly depleting energies while their enemy still had a calm smile on his face. Unbelievable thoughts began to spring in their minds at this impossible situation that went against everything they knew.
They were a realm higher, you know?
They had more energy, you know?
They...they…
They were lost for words as a shocking thought traveled across the minds of many watching beings.
'This Infernal Lord wasn't about to defeat two beings a realm higher than him this simply, right?!'
Right?!
Chapter 536 - You can't finish that fast!
The Emperor Penguin and other Harbingers were watching the scene playing out with bright eyes, this scene of domination being something they all strived to be able to do in the future!
BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions after explosions resounded as a ridiculous feature of Portals of Terror being summoned any time an Aether ray hit an enemy was abused, the chaining rays ravaging through the defenses of the Star Forging beings as they had unbelieving and unwilling expressions!
They were powerful experts that had trained for hundreds of years! They were Commanders that actually piloted one of the terrible Dreadnaughts of the Celestials! They were beings of immense positions that should not have been in a predicament like this…
They had expected to quickly assassinate this being an entire realm below them quickly, and they brought two of them to guarantee this reality.
Yet...yet…
The ridiculous scene where they could not even get a chance to fight back occurred. They could not realize their wide variety of splendorous abilities, not show the experience and smarts they had cultivated for hundreds of years.
All they could do was slowly watch with unwillingness as their energy reserves were being cleaned out by a being that seemed to have limitless energy!
ZAP! BOOM!
None of their unwilling thoughts were answered as Noah simply continued to throw out rays of Aether, the powerful defenses of these beings remaining paper thin as the one who could turn into a needle like golden sword was the first to falter.
RIIP!
The layers of energy he surrounded himself with for protection were ripped apart, a ray of aether and a subsequent portal of terror coming down to tear apart everything that made him as he exploded into a gory show of blood!
"OOOOOH!"
Seeing this ridiculous scene, the remaining Star Forger let loose as he burned his very soul for more energy, waves of gold and red erupting out as he rushed towards Noah for the first time since they began the defensive bout.
Yet it was at this moment that this powerful being took the most damage, as a feature of the support ability that allowed Noah's aether rays to chain simply showed its utter ridiculousness. There were no surrounding enemies in the circular field where he laid down his Authorities for the aether ray to chain to, so what it did was simply, repeatedly, and instantaneously smash into the body of this single Star Forger as it made him shake like his body was having an epileptic seizure!
BRRRRR!
POP!
Multiple rays of aether had actually chained onto a single body tens of times all once as they just utterly shredded any ounce of remaining defense raised from the burning of one's soul, even Noah watching on in stupor as he was blown back from the tens of portals of terror that erupted instantly and exploded, rupturing the space as the body of the remaining Star Forging Celestial Commander was ripped to shreds…
"..."
Silence reigned on the battlefield as many even forgot to fight against each other. The 4 World Rank Celestials that had gone to match the Commanders of the Verittas Fortress were shaking with a feeling of horror as the entire two Celestial Legions felt their bodies rumbling with fear, the reality of what just occurred in front of them being very hard to imagine!
Even Noah himself was asking if his skills were bugged, the chaining effect repeatedly smashing onto a single being as their defenses were utterly shredded being something even he did not expect.
Two Star Forging beings had come to assassinate the 9th Infernal Lord, and this target had somehow turned the tables around as he decimated them and eight World Rank experts in a matter of minutes.
It was such a short period of time that even the powerhouses that had been rushing over from numerous locations to gather here and save this Infernal Lord could not even arrive in time before this damsel ripped apart the high leveled assassins himself.
Not just assassins, but powerful beings practicing the law of fate, their bodies filled with immense power at the Star Forging Realm! This was a realm where one's Origin was actually transformed into a miniature star, the force behind such a thing being hard to comprehend!
As the battle between such beings came to such a quick and abrupt close, many were just watching with agape expressions as they did not even know how to process it all.
They glanced at the bloody remains of shining Celestials that had an overpowering aura when they arrived, and now they floated in a red and blue void of space where only a single being remained.
These beings were genuine powerhouses at the Star Forging Realm! They had such immense power compared to many others in the Novus Galaxy that the battle against them could have been described in another chapter or two!
But was it really needed? The answer was no! Noah's power was ridiculous enough that after the boosts and protection given by the Authority of two laws, he could effectively evade and defend against the attacks of the Star Forgers, all that was left being for him to spam his increasingly reinforced and boosted skills to tear away at the defenses of these powerful Celestials until their mana and essence could not keep up.
