Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The First Strike of Dawn Series!
*Thud!*
Everyone outside the pagoda was shocked to see bodies falling out of the blue. Even though they were teleported out of the pagoda, they were not unconscious like the people in front of them.
"There are only nine of them… where is that masked boy?" someone commented after counting the people who fell.
*Woosh!*
As soon as Lin Feng's eyes landed on Ruo'er, he rushed to her and wanted to kill the woman, but what followed next scared everyone else.
*Thud!*
Lin Feng suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, just like the people already lying. It was not just him; one by one, everyone else also fell to the ground.
*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*
They did not see it, but after everyone had lost their consciousness, an illusionary veil covered their bodies, indicating some kind of seal was working on them. The seal glowed for a while before returning to normal, but the veil did not disappear.
***
"This should be enough!" Noah muttered under his breath. Anything more than that, and the body would start to deteriorate or it might even explode.
*Ba…dump!*
*Ba…dump!*
*Ba…Da..amp!*
Looking forward at the woman, Noah took a deep breath to calm his beating heart.
His heart was not beating like a wild horse from anxiety or fear but of anticipation. He wanted to fight against someone as strong as her, but he knew that Long Tian's body would not be able to bear any stress if he made any strong attacks even with his soul power.
"See, You are not my match!" The woman flared her pressure to the maximum and matched Noah's own. "Your days of glory were in the past!! I am The future! Your body cannot even withstand your soul pressure! How will you even attack me like that?"
The woman grinned, seeing the cracked and bloody figure of Noah.
"I will make sure to take my time to absorb you. After all, after I kill you, I will be able to return to the peak of my strength!"
As she raised her hands towards Noah, several illusionary ghost and asura-like figures shot towards Noah, trying to restrain his movements.
'I need to exhaust him before he can make a move. He is also preventing any severe damage from happening to the body; I can use this…' her thoughts moved at fast speed as she noticed Noah using his powers to keep the body from falling apart.
"Sigh~ this is why I hate people like you. You talk too much while thinking whatever you are thinking … or have a plan is bound to happen… "
Noah tried his best not to wince from the pain he was feeling just by taking a step forward.
*Tap* "Tick"
*Tap* "Tick.."
Noah grinned as he tapped his feet on the floor twice; with each tap, a ripple followed through the whole floor like a drop of water falling in a calm and silent lake.
Lights seemed to be sucked out of the surroundings. It felt like night itself had descended in the room, making the woman vigilant; she did not wait for Noah and launched another series of attacks.
Colossal figures and rays made up of dark energy attacked Noah with intentions to kill him. She did not want to risk her life for recovery.
Noah placed his hands on the hilt of the sword and slurred, "Boom!"
*Dawn Series: The First rays of sun, sweeps the darkness~*
~Shaaa…~
As the sword came out of his sheath, a golden radiance filled the room, sweeping the darkness as it scattered.
The sword mimicked the first rays of the sunlight piercing through the darkness of night. The strike was packed with the suddenness and intensity of the morning start.
One second the asura ghosts and the rays were all about to cut him apart and the other second…
There was light!
Welcoming the dawn. The world seemed to have slowed down; the warm rays of the sun shredded the beings made of demonic energy to oblivion. Noah's attack did not contain a shred of qi.
All it had was the sword intent and his soul power.
The mysterious woman's eyes went wide seeing the soul figures she had sent towards Noah perishing like they were nothing.
"AHHH!" Light had always been the greatest enemy of the darkness; since the woman's soul was contaminated with demonic powers, Noah's first sword skill was effective against it.
She tried to release another skill, but a seal appeared on the ground interrupting her soul's power.
'Soul Disruption Seal!'
One of Noah's seals that sends sonic-like attacks on the soul to interrupt the person by stunning their soul for a moment. It is like a stun skill but for the soul.
After the attack was launched, a huge crack appeared on Noah's arm while the rest healed almost instantly.
The reason for that crack was that Noah released all of his soul energy through his arm, making it overload with power it could not handle.
"Hiss~" Noah hissed in pain but did not dare to dilly-dally. Several formations sprang into action, surrounding the woman. Since she was in her soul form, the woman was able to see what was happening in the astral realm, and Noah's seal was right in front of her eyes.
"What is this??!" She panicked not knowing what they were; this was the first time she had ever seen seals in her life. Facing the unknown, she became panicked and used her strength to break it apart.
"Well, that was easy…" Noah coughed up a mouthful of blood as soon as he spoke, "looks like I spoke too soon."
"Are you okay, Noah?" hearing Elysia's concerned and pained voice, Noah felt like his pain reducing a little.
" I am fine, Elysia, I just need to perform the process as soon as possible…" Noah gritted his teeth and deployed another seal, the same seal he used on the bandits who tried to rob him before.
"You are using her to make your stone?"
Your journey continues with m v|l-e'm,p y r
She thought Noah would use her to absorb her soul power for himself and recover. The reason for that after this Fight Noah lost more than 3% of his total soul power. Even though it would not affect him, it was always good to be more powerful.
"Using that soul skill on her is not worth it; I will have no way of using my soul power without damaging this body. It's better to let my body suffer the torture of soul overload than making this one. Besides, I have an idea to make a sturdy body for myself."
Noah turned his attention back to the woman who was already kneeling on the floor, wrapped around in several illusionary and transparent seals.
"Let me go!! You have no idea who you are messing with!! I am the Demonic Immortal Empress! I have a whole force behind me. They will come looking for me as soon as they receive the news of my death. Since they are alive, unlike me, they will be more powerful and stronger than the current me!" The Demonic Empress yelled in an attempt to scare Noah, but her attempts only got a snap from Noah.
"Ahhhh!! Stop it!"
With a snap of his hand, the seals philosopher's stone, since she did not have any physical body, Noah's seal started refining her soul directly.
"Stop the pain!! I am ready to become your SLAVE!!!"
