The outcome made him quite satisfied: he couldn't instantly kill the beast but its body had been almost severed in half by a casual kick.
The other worms took his assault as a signal to begin their attack, they jumped at Noah from four different directions with their mouths drooling saliva that traced transparent lines in the air.
Noah stomped with his foot over the head of the beast under him and moved.
His fists shot toward two beasts while his knee crashed with another one, as for the last worm, he had better plans for it so he dodged its attack.
Four more rank 3 magical beasts had died in just a few instants.
'Finally, I have some power.'
He couldn't stop smiling seeing the dead beasts on the ground.
Those were rank 3 magical beast!
'I went from killing my first one thanks to the element of surprise created by the Kesier rune, to being able to kill them without any technique. This power is what I've desired for so long, the power of the heroic ranks.'
Noah turned toward the remaining beast.
The worm was scared stiff and tried to dig an escape route on the terrain but Noah focused his mental energy on it.
The beast could not move anymore, Noah's pressure was too heavy for it to resist.
'I've still some use for you, I should probably try that. A few drops of "Breath" should be enough to give me an idea of its power.'
The membrane around his heart tightened and a few drops of the "Breath" contained in it were inserted in his circulatory system.
Noah immediately felt a violent energy surging from within himself and watched as his blood vessels turned black, becoming visible from under his skin.
Noah seemed to have pulsing black worms all over his skin as his circulatory system was shown to the beast.
The few scratches that he had just received from his clashes with the worms' teeth healed immediately but Noah hadn't used the ability of the Yin body to mend his wounds.
Noah charged at the immobilized beast and delivered his strongest fist to its body, making the whole creature explode due to the might of the impact.
Blood flew in every part of the room, leaving only Noah and his excited smile in it.
Eight magical beasts in the third rank had been physically overwhelmed by a human, that left him particularly happy about his recent breakthrough.
'I guess they are just ants in my eyes now.'
Noah concluded in his mind as he watched his veins return to their normal state.
'Those drops of "Breath" were a bit overkill, one would have been enough. At least, it seems that the ability of my body is not that hard to control, I just need to use the energy before my blood vessels explode.'
Noah had seen a rank 4 body when he fought on Twilboia Cliff.
Yet, Kevin's transformation seemed harder to control and needed a casting time while Noah's empowerment was almost immediate and the only danger was the buildup of internal pressure his body.
'If I had met the wind mage with my current strength, maybe I wouldn't have needed for the representative of the Royal family to inflict such a heavy injury to defeat him. I guess I'm quite strong now.'
