Chapter 295 295. CONTROL

Noah felt his daggers gain weight, as his essence was absorbed by the blades. The daggers quickly began to thrum and vibrate, making holding them a chore.

[You will compromise the structural integrity of the dagger]

Reading the panel with half his mind on it, Noah felt unsurprised by the outcome.

The daggers buzzed with a deep-yellow light, as its dark purple fumes struggled to reveal themselves in the intensity of the light.

In less than an instant, the light died down and Noah got able to see his still approaching targets.

He raised his arms above his head and performed a vertical deep-yellow slash that traveled the distance between him and the wall of vines in an instant, to directly sever them into three different portions.

A smile shone on Noah's face at that point and he didn't hesitate to turn into a yellow streak; dashing through the space left by the falling apart wall of vines, roots, and trees.

His figure arrived behind everything and he couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the formerly severed portion merging again to shoot forward, unfortunately, their target had left.

Noah sighted the large serpent that was now his opponent but didn't understand how he could fully kill it. Of course, he knew that his daggers were capable of draining the beast of all its energy, but he had to get past the defenses the serpent had prepared, even if he hadn't seen their manifestation yet.

His figure once more turned into a streak of yellow light, as he ran to directly arrive behind the serpent. However, he didn't stop his movement and opted for running around him. Surprisingly, Noah found that his actions caused a whirlwind to be generated around the infuriated serpent.

The howling of the now rapid whirlwind reverberated throughout the whole expanse, but Noah never stopped. Not even after whole trees were thrown out of the whirlwind by the serpent or the rotating mass of air got contaminated by the serpent's discharge of poisonous gas.

Unfortunately, he had to sprint away from the serpent since the whirlwind exploded with a dense wave of scorching flames.

Fireballs followed that event, and they rained everywhere, leaving no place in the expanse safe. A powerful and loud hiss, akin to a roar shook the cave again, and Noah watched the serpent gain a fiery battle armor.

Not only that, but flaming serpents materialized from the seven magical circles that appeared around it, and shockingly the flaming serpents were just as large as the purple serpent.

Intense heat unfolded in the expanse at that point, and Noah could only cast his armor to protect himself from the heat. Unfortunately for him, the serpent wasn't done casting.

Another seven magical circles appeared around the purple serpent, and what closely resembled the flurry from the fourth floor appeared before Noah. Shockingly, they were just as strong as the other flurry!

Another seven magical circles appeared above the serpent and large purple spheres radiating an aura that put Noah on edge materialized. They resembled a semi-solid mass of gas. Only their constantly shifting state told that they were merely dense gas.

'Seven flame serpents, seven flurries, and spheres of poisonous gas. He's going all out,' Noah thought with a wry smile. By all means, he understood that he needed more to defeat that line of defense. This realization caused ten whitish-blue magical circles to appear behind Noah.

Two golems each emerged from one circle. And soon a small force of twenty frozen golems unfolded in the serpent's sight. Noah, however, wasn't done yet.

He browsed through his skills and found his old skills. Two of the more powerful ones he had not utilized since he became a tier 3 expert gaining his attention.

[Lightning domain(Tier 3)]

[Air Domain(Tier3)]

[Lightning Domain[Active]: Create a special environment just for yourself as it is completely under your control. It spans as far as your mental consciousness. In this domain, all lightning-based skills get a 100% boost to their power, and a 20% reduced SE cost for their activation.

Noah understood that he could only cast one of those skills, and he immediately went for the most destructive one.

A yellow magical circle featuring shining white runic symbols expanded high above Noah, and he didn't hesitate to expand his consciousness till it covered the entirety of the expanse.

A pure white veil fell from the constantly expanding magical circle until the entire expanse was covered with its thin white light.

Noah's face grew pale after the cost for the activation vanished from his core. He now barely had 10k essence left in his core. But it didn't matter since he felt sure that his next series of attacks would be able to destroy his opponent.

A deep sense of control befell Noah's mind after the activation of his domain skill. The many sparks that littered the air felt completely under his control, and the seventeen lightning bolts that materialized to shoot towards the serpents and flurry's in the blink of an eye proved it.

A colorful and blinding explosion occurred at that event, but none of the power contained in the explosion got to Noah. It seemed within that space not even the sheer power of his spells was out of his control.

'How is this even possible,' Noah marveled, seeing as he could force the shock waves carrying dense electrical currents to stop right in front of his figure. His mind however bore the weight of that normally impossible event, and he quickly felt an intense headache begin to rise from the depths of his head.

The light of the barrage of lightning bolts soon died down, but Noah sent his golems forward before relaxing to witness the destruction he had caused.

A huge chunk of the ground had disappeared, and the existence of only two flurries and three serpents managed to leave him satisfied not even the spheres of poisonous gas had survived. However, Gurmund was nowhere in sight

Danger exploded inside Noah's head as his instincts screamed at him to watch out for the incoming attack, but the event had been too abrupt.

A hole suddenly opened behind Noah then a large tail featuring a blade-like tip burst out form it to crack its sharp features at Noah's weirdly pale figure, cleanly and effortlessly severing his body in two equal halves.
