Birth of the Demonic Sword

Noah launched the fiendish copies toward the army of wolves and gathered dark matter inside his blade to deal with the tornado.

He had initially thought that God's Left Hand's spell matched her individuality, but the dense gales that made it didn't carry her destructiveness.

The tornado rotated slowly, and it acted as a massive club rather than as a calamity. It had an orderly structure while God's Left Hand typically used violent winds.

The fiendish copies fought against the army of wolves before exploding into a dense wave of corrosive smoke. Some of those creatures survived that offensive, but the dark matter that fell on them afterward finished destroying them.

Noah slashed at the tornado. His massive blade cut that rotating figure in half and dispersed its winds through the dark world. It filled the empty spot that the Matriarchs had created with their abilities, but that was useless now.

God's Left Hand reappeared above Noah, outside of the dark world. She was still riding the wolf, and a series of spheres made of raging winds hovered in their palms.

The spheres fell toward the dark gas, and storms appeared in those spots. The raging winds expanded until they became a series of small tornadoes that tried to disperse the dark matter.

Great Elder Diana appeared under Noah, outside of the dark word. Thousands of minute lighting bolts had appeared above her. They resembled small arrows when they shot toward the dense cloud to disperse the dark matter.

The dark world suppressed the Matriarchs' abilities when they entered inside its range, but Noah let them destroy it. His opponents weren't interested in remaining inside his technique anymore. It was better to use it in a different form at the moment.

More dark matter came out of his chest, and a second layer of armor appeared on top of his fiendish figure. Some of the higher energy around him also fused with his protection, and three more copies appeared next to him to go through the same process.

Noah called the Black Hole spell at that point. The small sphere had become quite big during those few exchanges, but it still needed to grow to express its overwhelming power.

Yet, that didn't stop Noah from making the copies go through the spell to turn them into giants. The same went for his Demonic Sword since he immersed it inside the Black Hole spell.

Snore reappeared behind his figure. The Blood Companion couldn't stop the Matriarchs since they had suddenly unleashed far more power than usual, but it didn't suffer any damage in the process.

The Matriarchs moved again. They didn't dare to remain in the same position for fear of having to face one of Noah's threatening attacks.

God's Left Hand dismounted from her wolf and launched it at Noah while she created a series of gales that began to blow around him.

Great Elder Diana threw a series of crackling spheres that surrounded Noah and worked together with the gales to create a special aura around him. Noah felt the sky's structure becoming frail under the effect of those spells.

'They want to suppress me by using the void,' Noah thought.

He couldn't fail to recognize the tactic that defeated King Elbas the first time. The Matriarchs' spells made the sky too frail for his physical might. Anything beyond human standards would turn the entire area into a massive fissure.

Noah waved his hand, and a black line appeared in front of him. A portal opened, but the sky's structure crumbled, and the fissure that came after that engulfed the Warp spell.

The Matriarchs didn't stop their offensive. Great Elder Diana followed her attacks by launching other crackling spheres that surrounded the entire frail area.

God's Left Hand waved her fan to create violent gales that circled the frail area and created a barrier that prevented others from crossing it.

The Matriarchs wanted to trap Noah before delivering their final attack. He wouldn't have any escape at that point.

Noah closed his fist, and that simple gesture opened many small cracks around his hand. The sky was too frail, but he quickly found a way to escape from that situation.

His leg bent as Noah crouched in the area. Other cracks appeared around him because of that gesture, but Noah had eyes only for the area with fewer crackling spheres.

The Matriarchs tried to launch more spells, but Noah charged and made the whole area crumbled as he tried to enter his dimension to overcome the hindrances on his path.

The whole area became a massive crack connected to the void that applied a strong gravitational pull on Noah. That suction force was so intense that he couldn't even gather darkness under his feet to sprint away again.

Meanwhile, the Matriarchs had launched more spells. Three giant lightning bolts with the shape of arrows and a wide dense gale surpassed the area's edges and converged toward Noah.

The void was annoying, but the incoming attack worsened his situation. Noah used part of the dark matter inside Snore to create platforms under him and sprint away. As for the enemy spells, he let his copies face them.

Noah disappeared after the spells exploded. A cloud of gray smoke appeared on its spot, but the void absorbed it in an instant.

The Matriarchs couldn't see Noah anywhere. They didn't think that he had fallen into the void, but they didn't know how he could hide his presence so well.

The two tried to gather again, but Noah reappeared behind God's Left Hand and slashed at the same spot damaged by Night. A second skin made of dense air appeared on top of her figure and blocked the attack, but the crack that it opened sucked away most of that energy.

Noah punched using his free hand at that point, but he saw no fear inside God's Left Hand's eyes. She felt confident in that situation, which meant that she was still hiding something.

A long cut appeared on God's Left Hand's face as Noah began to retreat. Night took the powerhouse's right eye away with its attack.

God's Left Hand broke a talisman at that point, and a wild series of tornadoes formed around her figure and began to fly in every direction.

Those tornadoes also appeared different. It wasn't gray as usual. Its color was closer to a proper black that gave off a dangerous aura.

That wasn't the average wind. Its aura was eerie, but he could sense the danger coming from inside it.

Noah continued to retreat, but an array of lightning bolts blocked his path by creating a tight net that released attacks. He had ended up encircled again, but he didn't mind that situation.

God's Left Hand had suffered a bit, while Great Elder Diana felt her pride as a powerhouse plummeting whenever Noah survived one of those attacks.

Instead, Noah had yet to suffer any damage. He was even in perfect condition since he didn't use his ambition at all.

Noah wasn't in control of the battlefield, but he still had the upper hand. The Matriarchs were attempting to take him out with a few grand moves, but he preferred to slowly and safely wound them.

Snore charged toward the black winds while Noah sprinted upward. He had no reason to face Great Elder Diana's spell, so he dodged it to disappear from the battlefield again.

The black winds destroyed Snore and crushed even the dark matter that made its body. The Blood Companion couldn't do anything against them, which was why Noah had decided to improve it after completing the other task.

Noah reappeared behind God's Left Hand again while the black winds ravaged its body. His Demonic Sword lunged at her throat, and Night aimed to sever her torso.

The tip of the blade pierced her skin before she exploded into a wave of scorching gales that reformed near Great Elder Diana. A trail of blood still fell from her throat, but she didn't bother to clean it.
