"Did we really kill a Royal?"
Elder Jason asked as he neared Noah with a worried expression.
Noah stared at Jason for a brief moment before he understood what he was feeling.
Jason was a heroic cultivator who had lived in the Coral archipelago for most of his life.
As a member of a dominant organization, he had never had to fear stronger powers, he could act freely without caring about the consequences of his actions.
Instead, Noah had lived an opposite life, he had always been a mere ant in a world filled by monsters that tried to control and exploit him.
He didn't hesitate for even a second before inflicting the final blow to Lois, he was so used to have stronger powers after him that he didn't even consider the possibility of letting her live.
A tinge of admiration appeared inside Jason when he saw how calm Noah was, he couldn't help but accept the fact that he had earned the title of Demon Prince.
"LOIS!!"
A rough cry sounded in the area a few instants after the Royal died, Jason and Noah turned in its direction only to see Fred Muwlos staring at them.
Fred's condition was poor, most of his robe had been burned, and many deep wounds filled his body, it seemed that Elder Hope's ambush was going well.
Fred briefly looked at Jason before fixing his gaze on Noah, his eyes widened, and he released another loud cry when he understood who he was.
"NOAH BALVAN!"
Fred shouted, and large flames enveloped his body, pushing the three elders around him back for a few meters.
Then, he shot in Noah's direction at an incredible speed, Noah was sure that he wouldn't be able to match that acceleration even while using his Shadow sprint!
Noah's eyes sharpened when he saw the figure reaching for him, the threatening flames around the noble's figure surpassed the power of the liquid stage and entered that of the solid stage!
'He used a secret art!'
Noah immediately realized that when he felt the power behind Fred's flames, it seemed that the noble was so desperate that he had decided to waste his dantian only to launch an incredible offensive against him.
Noah kicked the air as he activated his secret art once again, his figure disappeared right before Fred could reach him.
Yet, to Noah's surprise, Fred's eyes were able to follow his movements even when he used the Shadow sprint coupled with the secret art!
Fred gathered the flames around his body on his right palm before throwing them toward Noah, a shining red orb flew at high speed toward him.
'I can't escape!'
Noah thought when he saw that the orb was even faster than Fred, his martial art wouldn't be able to shake it off, and he didn't have enough time to use the Warp spell.
He could only defend.
A Black turtle appeared out in the open and enveloped Noah with its vast body, its shell pointed toward the incoming orb as countless defensive layers appeared over it.
A black sphere formed in front of the layers, Noah activated the Black hole spell to deplete part of the power contained in Fred's attack.
At last, Noah became ethereal, even his Ethereal form spell was activated as he tried to survive that powerful spell.
Then, the orb clashed with Noah's defensive methods, and the sky became red in that area.
