UNLIMITED SPEED

Noah had been through some scary things, but now that he was a tier 2, and his speed was immense, he had started to lose some fear, after all, he was sure that not even a tier 3 could keep up with him in sheer speed.

But when he heard the faceless figures words; all that changed. His mind spun, as his already fast heart rate increased.

The voice of the bright figure rang in his mind, 'You have many enemies, and all of them are stronger than you currently are'.

His mind put all the pieces together, as he ascertained something, this 'thing' was definitely an enemy, but the problem was that it could he escape?.

Noah didn't know when his eyes blazed with electrical energy, then he moved towards the black figure with his full speed.

Spinning the staff, Noah swung it horizontally, at the black figure, But immediately his staff struck it's body, a sound, as though metal was striking metal resounded, Noah watched in pure horror, as his staff broke, while the figure didn't move a muscle.

Immediately that happened, Noah realized what had happened. He had acted out of blind fear, but it was too late.

The black figure seemed to glance at Noah's staff, then it shook it's head.

Immediately it did that, Noah watched it raise one of its black fingers, and point it towards his chest.

His instincts screamed at that sight, as Noah tried to move but, found out that he was frozen, some sort of pressure was holding him in place.

The black figure placed it's black finger on Noah's chest, tapping it lightly.

All it did was that gesture, But immediately; Noah felt an unfathomable force hit his chest, and sent him flying!!.

Slamming against what that felt like a wall. Noah noticed that there was some sort of barrier around them, 'When did it do that?', Noah said inwardly, admidst the Intense pain reaching his mind.

Landing on the floor, with the grace of a rock. Noah coughed multiple mouthful of blood.

Muliix had not been broken, or pierced, but Noah found that, a hole had opened in his chest.

His passive healing skill had kicked in, but it took time to heal him, since his internal organs had also suffered from the finger.

[Beware, Muliix can only take attacks from Powers only a stage above bonds power level]

Noah read the message, as he cursed under his breath, "You couldn't have told me that before now?", he muttered, while still vomiting blood.

He tried standing up, but his efforts proved worthless. he was badly damaged, and his HP had dropped significantly.

While trying to get up, the voice of the black figure rang out, "Shit!, I didn't mean to do that. It was out of reflex", it said rushing towards Noah, who raised his left hand, to stop the figure from coming closer to him.

At that, the black figure stopped. It seemed to sigh, but no sound came out if it. "You are one tough bone. Honestly I am surprised that you are still alive, or that your armour is still intact", the figure said.

Still trying to stand, Noah managed to get on his knees, his breathing ragged, the finger had damaged his lungs, so he found it hard to breathe, but his healing was taking care of it.

Shaking his head, the voice of the black figure rang out, "You are currently too weak, to partake in matters about higher existences. It seems I might have made a mistake coming to talk to you, though I probably would have still done it.", It explained, almost to itself than to Noah.

By this point, Noah was healed enough to get up. Staggering on his feet, Noah opened his mouth, but no words came out of them.

Actually that was when he realized that his vocal cords were damaged, and still in the process of healing.

Seemingly sighing, the black figures voice rang out, "Since I'm the one who did this to you, take this as an apology", it said, rasing it's black hand and opening it's palm. Immediately it did that, yellow flames flickered into existence, and danced on its palm.

Pointing it's hand towards Noah, the flame shot forward, towards a panicking Noah.

Trying his best to move, Noah saw that the flame followed his movements.

The yellow flames bypassed Muliix, and hit him squarely on his real chest.

At Noah wanted to scream, but he couldn't, or rather he didn't have a reason to.

Immediately the flames touched his chest, it healed his body immediately!.

Widening his eyes in surprise, Noah touched his body. The flames had healed him so fast that, he wasn't sure if he had really ever in pain, and that his mind was only playing a trick on him.

"Now, to the matters at hand. You have failed to keep your unique presence a secret", the figure said.

"Huh...., how?", Noah asked, now that he had calmed down. "The fact that, I am here proves that.", The figure replied. Noah could only furrow his brows at that.

"Though..., not all is lost, apart from me, no one else knows your real location. A certain bit*ch, seemed to have spot you once, but it seems she can't totally interfere. So let's keep it that way, though she has spread the rumors around". the figure explained.

Noah couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the figures words. "How would you do that, and who is this person that spot me".

"Like I said the other time, you aren't allowed to know, your existence is too weak to meddle in such matters, but about doing something.....", the figure said, as it spread out it's black palm. immediately, a small silver magic circle , expanded on it, then the figures voice rang out.

"You are currently just a tier 2, this makes it easier for items to work. Take this, it'll shield you for exactly one year. I'm sure immediately your presence disappears, all the others would get serious, so get as strong as you can between that time". The figure explained, as a bracelet that shone with a brilliant silver light, emerged from the magic circle, and floated towards Noah.

Staring at the floating bracelet, Noah was at loss of what to do, and also in a daze.

The bracelet radiated an aura that sent shivers down Noah's spine, and the system reacted to it.

[Unique grade bracelet detected]

[Make contact to perform bond]

Furrowing his brows, Noah decided trust the system, after all so far it had been his guide.

Touching the bracelet, Noah watched as it shone even more brightly. Then immediately, multiple messages popped up.

[User has acquired Unique grade bracelet of secrecy]

[Grade: Unique]

[Current Bond: Entity<Noah>]

[Abilities: Cloaking]

[Usage: 1 time use]

Noah stared at the notifications, while the still shining bracelet, wore itself on Noah's right wrist.

Most of the things the system showed him, he did not understand, but that wasn't a problem.

Noah didn't know what to do at this point, "What does this even change?, if the person you are talking about has found me, how would this stop her from just appearing physically, and taking me out?", Noah asked in confusion.

Shaking it's head at Noah's question, "You can't understand now, there are rules that stop us from directly interfering, and can only Interfere if the persons presence remains, as far as the world is concerned, with that bracelet you do not exist". The figures voice rang out.

Noah's face twisted in confusion, what it said didn't make any sense. "So then how are you here?", Noah eventually asked, sharpening his eyes.

Bursting into laughter the figure replied, "Here?. No this is merely a very strong puppet, if I were to truly be here, you would be dead by now", it's voice rang out.

Though still incredibly confused, Noah understood a little, of what it, or rather he was saying. "Why are you even helping me, I don't even know who you are.?", Noah asked with a frown.

Immediately he said that, the aura of the figure surged, as it gave birth to ripples in space, "Helping you.", it's voice rang out, but this time it gained a chilling tyrannical tone.

Noah's mind shook from the voice, as he fell on his knees, due to the pressure the aura put on his body, heck he was about to pass out.

"This isn't help, this is merely fun for me. It's been a while something interesting happened, and spending millennials in solitude is as boring as it gets. The other's are just plain annoying, so I'd love to cause chaos among them". it said.

"If they find you now, at this weak state, the fun will end too quickly, since you would not be able to put up a good fight. So this is me avoiding that outcome", it continued.

Though on his knees, Noah could still mouth a few words, "I didn't ask for your help", he grunted.

"And, I am not asking you to take the bracelet, it's either you take it, or you die now", the figure replied, it's voice icy cold.
