'This is bad, there is nothing we can do against her runes.'
Noah evaluated as he searched for an item inside his space-ring.
He had two methods to destroy the blockade of a rank 5 cultivator.
The first one was the detonation of his rank 6 storage item, but the blast would surely kill him so he could only use its power as a threat.
The second one was the talisman that Chasing Demon had given him before his journey to the Granite abyss.
The brown runes affected his consciousness, Noah couldn't use the Warp spell, the talisman was his only way out of that situation unless the elders intervened.
"You must be Lady Edna, the reports don't do justice to your beauty."
Elder Austin's voice resounded in the area, and a series of fireball descended from the sky and fell on the barrage of brown runes.
The fireballs seemed to have liquid capabilities since they clashed with the runes and began to drip over the surface of the blockade.
The runes quickly melted under those flames, Noah and the rest of his group were soon freed from the encirclement.
However, they didn't immediately escape, they waited for Elder Austin's instructions before deciding their next move.
After all, they couldn't escape from a rank 5 cultivator even if they wanted.
"I've never heard of you though, it seems that the Elbas family must improve its investigations on the rats that plunder empty homes."
Lady Edna answered as she raised her gaze to the sky, her eyes sharpened when she realized that she couldn't pinpoint the elder's location.
Meanwhile, the cultivators behind her began to shot stares at Noah's group, whispers resounded between them when their eyes fell on Noah.
Then, one of them neared Lady Edna and politely whispered something in her ear.
Lady Edna's brows knitted together when she heard those words, her gaze went on Noah for an instant before returning to the sky.
"What is the Hive doing here? Are you working together with the Council?"
Lady Edna asked.
She had immediately linked the presence of the Hive with the betrayal of the Papral nation, the latter was the only force that could have leaked the information about the attack on the Empire after all.
"Questions, questions. Why don't we test each other for a bit? I've always wanted to see for myself what a Royal can really do."
Elder Austin's voice sounded again, and his figure appeared from the clouds in the sky.
Tongues of flames floated around his figure, they resembled red rivers ready to explode outward.
His shining green eyes radiated pure confidence, the morale of Noah's group rose as soon as they sensed his aura.
"Hold on as much as you can, Elder Julia is preparing a way back to the southern coast."
Elder Austin's voice resounded in the mental spheres of the cultivators of the Hive, he sent a mental message through his methods before shooting toward Lady Edna.
Lady Edna snorted when she saw his figure reaching for her, countless runes appeared in the air next to her as she prepared herself for the imminent clash, two rank 5 cultivators were about to fight!
