Birth of the Demonic Sword

Noah reached the spot where the divine aura was more intense and stabbed his weapon into the ice. The Demonic Sword released a sharp wave of dark matter that dug through the creature's protection and opened large cracks around the impact point.

His free hand grabbed one side of the nearest crack before he pulled to tear it open. Chunks of ice fell and crumbled under the effects of his Demonic Form as Noah made his way through the giant armor.

The Snake found it hard to aim at Noah while he dug through its armor. He was too small for its new form, and its roars didn't manage to slow down his offensive.

Yet, the creature didn't just stay still while Noah attempted to take its life. If its tail couldn't reach him, it would use the environment to its advantage.

The Snake lowered its head and dived toward the world. The ice had destroyed most of the previous lands when it accumulated around the creature, so the duo soon found themselves underwater.

Noah could sense what was happening around him, but he didn't do anything to dodge the attack. He stabbed his Demonic Sword into the sturdiest piece of ice that he found and prepared himself for the imminent impact.

The Snake slammed its head on the seabed. The rocky ground at the bottom of the sea crumbled under the might of the blow. Magma soon rose from the cracks opened after the impact.

Noah felt his insides churning due to the pressure that reached his body. His bones released screeching noises, and his muscles broke as he focused on remaining attached to the Demonic Sword.

Blood came out of his mouth, and his black hole redirected most of the energy it contained toward the damaged tissues. Noah had begun to suffer serious injuries, but his offensive had to continue.

Snore came out of his armor and launched its dark beam toward the trace of divine aura leaking out of the armor while Noah focused on stabilizing his condition. A large tunnel opened, and he crawled through it as he searched for the Snake's actual body.

Corrosive smoke accumulated in that environment and destroyed all the ice that it found. Since Noah's ambition was still applying its effects, the Demonic Form could consume that powerful material.

The Snake raised its head and resurfaced before flying in the sky. It then lowered its head again before diving toward the seabed. That was its only effective offensive method, so it didn't hesitate to perform it whenever it could.

Noah ripped pieces of the armor apart and stabbed his Demonic Sword in the ice again when he sensed that the impact was near. An intense shockwave resounded in the environment at some point, and he could feel the same pressure as before landing on his body.

Blood flowed everywhere as Noah straightened himself and resumed his assault. His condition kept worsening, but that was the only approach that could lead him to victory.

The seabed shattered again, and magma came out of the cracks that had opened due to that offensive. The world didn't appear able to withstand the amount of power released in that attack.

The immense resilience of Noah's body allowed him to express his peak power even when injuries filled his tissues. His black hole even began to spread dark matter inside him to stabilize and reinforce his condition.

The fourth center of power knew that Noah wanted to put an end to that battle now. He wouldn't have a better chance to defeat the Snake anytime soon otherwise.

The Snake began to resurface again, but that area of the sky went dark as Noah released his flames. Black fire radiating a blinding silver halo spread through the many cavities opened in the giant armor and came out of the ice once it filled that space.

The fire burned the weaker chunks of ice before converging toward Noah to heal his injuries and transfer the energy that it had absorbed.

Flames soon surrounded Noah's figure and closed his injuries. The wounds that had accumulated on his body healed before the creature could reach the summit of the sky.

Noah's new innate ability could show its real power now that it managed to burn the ice. He could achieve the same degree of immortality as the other Eternal Snakes in that situation.

The quasi-rank 7 Snake didn't have many options. Noah was deep into its armor, so it could only continue to slam its head on the seabed to take care of that threat.

The impacts with the seabed injured Noah every time. His armor often broke due to the violence of the crashes. Yet, he always managed to make some progress in his excavations.

The Demonic Form's corrosive smoke and his fire opened large paths through the ice and made sure that the falling chunks would turn into nothing more than dust. Noah didn't want to defeat that technique only to go back to the previous type of battle. He couldn't let the Snake revive after he had invested so much energy in that fight.

Noah found it easy to dig through the ice with the Demonic Sword and Snore. His slashes and lunges always managed to sever and pierce large pieces of the armor, and the dark beam had yet to find a material that could stop it.

Part of the sea turned red due to the magma that had reached the surface. The creature's relentless dives had created a large passage connected to the central parts of the world.

The dives became more intense after Noah dug through almost half of the giant armor. The Snake could sense that its opponent was about to reach its body, and its survival instincts began to take control of its actions.

The Snake continued to rise and dive, changing spot whenever all the seabed under it fell into the magma. Cracks in the sky opened as it accelerated its movements to slam its head more times.

Noah eventually reached the center of the armor. Injuries kept accumulating on his body and healing, but he ignored that annoying process when he saw the divine armor and the Snake's real body inside it.

The creature tried to escape through the ice when it saw its opponent, but Noah's brute strength surpassed the advantages that the Snake had in that situation. It was its ice in the end. It was only normal for the material to move at its passage.

Noah flew toward the Snake and clutched his clawed hands on a handhold on the divine armor. He then crawled to reach the creature's head and stab his Demonic Sword into one of the eyes. Snore quickly materialized to take care of the other eye, and the two launched their abilities.

A wave of dark matter entered the divine armor and went wild. The higher energy carried Noah's sharpness, his power, and the energy radiated by the living weapon.

Snore launched its dark beam and cleared the insides of the divine armor. Nothing could escape the violent energy released after the attack.

Noah spat a wave of flames again, and the corrosive smoke continued to destroy ice as it spread in the environment. The divine armor also became thinner as it tried to revive the creature.

Snore didn't let the Snake reform, and more divine ice vanished to fuel its revival. Ice also separated from the giant armor to create gales that aimed to fling Noah away from that important location.

Night revealed its presence at that point. A shadow flew through the barrage of ice and rendered it harmless. That small storm crumbled against the Pterodactyl.

Noah and Snore continued to attack the Snake and destroy the ice. The effects of his ambition had begun to run out, but he didn't stop his offensive.

The divine armor crumbled after the Snake died four more times, but the ice around it converged toward its position and tried to start another healing process.

Noah didn't care about that and continued to launch slashes and lunges toward the powerless creature. The ominous aura radiated by the ice eventually vanished, and he couldn't see ice-shards converging toward the Snake anymore.

When he succeeded in storing the maimed corpse of the creature, Noah knew that he had won.
