Noah thought as he continued to bathe in the feeling of having his body growing stronger while breathing, it was something so amazing that he couldn't think of anything else.
'It's so strange though. Magical beasts have this innate ability since birth, even those in the first rank can do it, it's as if they are the natural predators of the "Breath".'
Every living being of that world absorbed "Breath" to become stronger.
Noah wasn't sure about how magical plants worked but he knew that cultivators were limited to the "Breath" of their aptitude.
Magical beasts, instead, could reach for the energy inside the "Breath" of any element since their birth, he didn't think that Heaven and Earth would have left such troublesome beings alive if they had the chance.
'Maybe, it's something that has to do with their fairness, they need a natural enemy to be nigh-omniscient entities.'
It was only after Noah reached that point with his thoughts that he heard the lightning storm happening above his cave.
The black clouds in the sky had resumed their assault when Noah released his cry, an immense hatred rose from the bottom of Noah's mind and filled the entirety of his body.
Noah quickly stood up and was about to launch himself outside the protective shield when he abruptly stopped his tracks and closed his eyes.
His focus went on the insides of his mental sphere where dark-red water was spreading inside his crystalline sea.
The dark-red water represented the thoughts and instincts of the Cursed dragon with which he had fused, his normal mental state seemed to be affected as more of his sea was being tainted by the spreading dark-red water.
However, the mind of a beast couldn't compare to that of a human, especially that of a rank 4 mage.
Noah used his mental energy to surround the dark-red water, the thoughts of the beast were soon contained in a small area.
'I need them.'
Noah knew that he wouldn't be able to properly use his new body without the instincts of the dragon, he needed them to become a perfect hybrid.
That's why, instead of destroying that water, he slowly assimilated it inside his sea.
The color of his sea slightly changed as it fused with the thoughts of the beast, shades of red appeared on the azure water which continued to be crystalline even after the two minds became one.
Noah regained complete control even if he knew that some traits of the dragon's behavior now were part of his personality.
He began to feel everything more clearly, his senses sharpened as both body and mind harmonized.
The incredible hatred toward the presence of Heaven and Earth's will was surpassed only by the endless hunger that he felt, it was a sensation so strong that he understood why the hybrids that he had previously created seemed to go insane.
However, his powerful mind was enough to make him maintain his calm.
Noah opened his eyes again, the same cold aura was radiated by them but his ice-blue irises were now cut in half by vertical pupils, his eyes were those of a dragon.
'I'll take care of my hunger later, I need to disperse those clouds first.'
Noah thought as he stepped toward the exit of his cave, a pair of black sabers appeared in his hands as a low growl was emitted by his throat.
As soon as he stepped outside the shield created by the inscribed flags, a lightning bolt fell toward him.
Noah didn't hesitate, he swung his sabers to perform the Second Form of the Ashura and destroy the incoming bolt of lightning.
Yet, even though his execution was perfect and his "Breath" was depleted, no effects followed his gesture, the saber simply slashed the air before the lightning bolt hit it.
