Birth of the Demonic Sword

The fact that King Elbas had come out unharmed from the first wave of attacks didn't stop Noah and the others. They had always known that the Royals' leader was a monster, so they didn't feel surprised about that outcome.

The attackers knew their charge was a desperate attempt to save their potential. They wouldn't have accepted death if the task was easy.

The second wave of attacks crashed on the area inside and around the seven stars, giving birth to a second gray cloud with a darker shade at that time.

The cloud didn't have time to disperse since the third wave of attacks suddenly crashed on the battlefield. Noah and the others weren't using their strongest spells, but their offensive was relentless.

The fourth wave of attacks arrived, but a sea of flames exploded from the middle of the stars and fended off the incoming offensive before it could reach King Elbas.

The flames were dense and violent. They were nothing more than a causal counterattack from the Royals' leader, but they destroyed every spell in their path and forced the enemy experts to retreat.

Noah was inside the corrosive cloud when the flames arrived. His instincts sent warning messages that made him retreat until he was outside of the fire's range.

The scenery changed when the flames dispersed. Most of the corrosive smoke had disappeared, and the fire didn't spare the dense radiations either.

Only the stars and the Royals had remained untouched. King Elbas had made sure to spare his resources and his underlings during his wide attack.

King Elbas became visible again when the fire went away. He was in the same position as before, but his expression showed a tinge of disappointment.

"That's everything you can do?" King Elbas asked as his arrogance spread in the area. "I need a powerful audience. My achievements will be meaningless otherwise."

His mocking words hit the leaders of the enemy organizations deeply. They didn't make them rely on reckless tactics, but they reminded them how behind they were in terms of cultivation level.

Chasing Demon, Great Elder Diana, and God's Left Hand knew that they couldn't overcome that difference in sheer power with numbers. Only something or someone equally strong could make King Elbas back off.

The two Matriarchs and Patriarch exchanged a glance and silently decided to go all-out.

God's Left Hand took out a black fan from her space-ring, and a quasi-rank 7 aura filled the void. Great Elder Diana donned an orange armor covering her entire body, and another quasi-rank 7 aura spread in the environment.

King Elbas stared with interest at their weapons, and their might didn't scare him in the slightest. His expression showed his pure curiosity at the sight of such powerful inscribed items.

Nevertheless, his expression froze when a rank 7 aura filled the void with its oppressing might. Chasing Demon had taken out the dark-red puppet that Noah and the others had obtained in Shandal's separate dimension.

The puppet was only the size of a fist when Chasing Demon wielded it. Yet, it began to grow as soon as he poured his "Breath" inside it.

The consumption of energy wasn't high. The puppet only needed a bit of "Breath" to activate. The fuel that it needed was inside its structure, and only the ground of the new continent could refill it.

King Elbas watched as the puppet quickly transformed into a massive humanoid giant that was more than five hundred meters tall. Even the other experts remained speechless at the sight of such a titanic weapon.

Chasing Demon sat on top of the giant, and his "Breath" gathered in front of him to give birth to two smaller titans.

The Demon would deplete less energy if he could use actual ground and reinforce it with his "Breath". However, the separate reality didn't have any matter, so he had to materialize it through a spell.

The quasi-rank 7 weapons of the other leaders appeared mere playthings when placed next to the dark-red titan. Its aura was so oppressing that even the stars stopped refilling the area with their radiations.

'He has taken it out,' Noah thought from inside his corrosive cloud. He didn't know where Chasing Demon had stored the puppet, but he noted inside his mind to ask him about that if they ever survived.

'I should get serious too,' Noah concluded, and his palms opened to let dark matter on them.

A flame that radiated boundless destruction formed, and water capable of taking any shape appeared next to it. Rocks radiating an intense craving for life followed them, and angry winds encircled those elements.

The last ones to gather were the orange sparks imitating Heaven and Earth's Tribulation, and the dark matter in its raw form. Noah's elements had aligned in his hands, and they circled themselves as if they wanted to fuse.

Noah knew what he had to do to advance. He had to make that part of his individuality advance, which meant bringing those elements to the next step.

They would become the very fabric of his world, but he lacked one last fundamental element before the technique could take form.

The battle against King Elbas could be his last one, but his dark star worked better when his life was in danger. Noah thought that he could accelerate the arrival of the enlightenment if he relied on his higher energy to fight.

Snore formed next to him, and Night came out of the new space-ring. The Demonic Sword appeared above him too, but none of them attacked just yet.

For some reason, the Royals didn't move from their spot even if their Father had mighty opponents everywhere. They seemed focused only on Noah, and they didn't show signs of retreat when the divine titan made its appearance.

Noah wanted to make things difficult for King Elbas, but the presence of the Royals on his way made his plan impossible to actuate for now. He had to take care of them first if he wanted to scheme against their leader.

'Do they fear me so much?' Noah smiled at that thought before launching his elements. Snore did the same once it saw the attacks.

Noah was the greatest variable in that battle. His power didn't even come close to King Elbas, but that wouldn't be his first time landing a decisive blow on an opponent that was far above his level.

Moreover, his physical strength was a deadly weapon for humans. Noah only needed a touch to shatter even the mightiest human body.

The Royals didn't care about the experts with a predictable prowess. Their Father could handle them. Their only problems were those full of surprises, and Noah was the first one that had come to their minds.

A wave of fire, water blades, formless winds, and lightning bolts came out of the cloud. A layer of sturdy rocks covered the attacks and increased their power as they flew toward the Royals.

Corrosive smoke came out of them too. Noah's Demonic Form followed all his attacks, and it only waited for his opponents to come in direct contact with the smoke to show its new effects.

The Royals placed their defensive items in the attacks' trajectory, but an intense shockwave broke their concentration and made the elemental blows land on their golden armors. Second Prince had to rely on a fiery shield to block them.

The leaders had launched their spells and had used their inscribed weapons to siege King Elbas, who had wielded a series of quasi-rank 7 items.

He had a rectangular golden shield in one hand, and its surface absorbed the lightning bolts coming out of Great Elder Diana's orange armor.

There was a fiery sword in his other hand, and King Elbas used it to fend off the threatening winds created through God's Left Hand's fan.

As for the titan, King Elbas had to take many disposable quasi-rank 7 items to summon a series of golden disks that blocked the incoming attacks.

The titan slammed its massive hands on the golden disks that had moved in its trajectory right before they could reach the white stars.

Chasing Demon snorted, but he threw the two weaker giants forward, and he detonated them before King Elbas' flames could take care of them.
