Those two areas were virtually worthless, the mountain chain was inhabited by beings so strong that only Chasing Demon or other rank 6 existences could face, and the other only had some valueless magical plants.
The aftereffects of the pact sealed by the rank 6 existences of the four nations seemed about to end, Noah was already planning his next move when something unexpected happened.
Elder Hope went to fight for the territory after the lava lake, she knew that her opponent would either be Amos Lochster or a heroic cultivator that the Royals wanted to train.
Yet, what appeared in front of her was a man wearing an emblem that she recognized.
Elder Hope had rarely left the Coral archipelago in her life, and she had never studied the many noble families that filled the Utra nation.
She was able to recognize that emblem because it usually appeared in the reports concerning the Demon Prince of the Hive that came from the Utra nation!
"Lord Balvan, I presume."
Elder Hope spoke when Adrian Balvan neared the borders of the lava lake to talk to her.
"I'm flattered, I would have never thought that the Hive would be aware of my family's emblem."
Adrian performed a bow as he spoke those words, he didn't seem intentioned to fight her at all.
"The Hive would obviously gather information concerning the possible enemies of its Demon Prince, your family is almost on top of the list."
Elder Hope replied coldly, her stern gaze inspected the burly heroic cultivator in the gaseous stage that had neared her so boldly.
Noah had gained the respect of the elders of the Hive after winning the lava lake, Elder Hope's behavior was simply a reflection of that.
"I've asked for a special permission to the Elbas family to fight for this land, the Royals are aware that this territory is useless, but they would have still sent Lord Lochster only to take it from you. My actions have given you hope to conquer it, but I will only fight against my nephew, Lord Lochster will take my place if someone else appears."
Adrian explained the situation to Elder Hope, who maintained a cold gaze.
The Hive could obtain that territory only if Noah were to fight, Amos would claim it under the Utra nation's banner otherwise.
Elder Hope remained silent, she didn't answer him, and she remained on the edges of the area above the rocky wasteland as she continued to stare at Adrian.
"Your answer? Will you contact him?"
Adrian became impatient as time passed and couldn't help but speak those words.
He had traveled a long way and asked for a favor to the Elbas family only to have that chance to fight Noah, he didn't want to think that all of that was for nothing.
"I won't contact him."
Elder Hope ultimately answered.
Adrian showed a surprised expression, but the elder's next words relieved him a bit.
"The Prince is already on his way."
.

.
In the sky over the desert, just before Adrian Balvan neared Elder Hope.
The elders of the Hive were watching the incoming battle through a crystal.
Noah was there too, his mind wandered from time to time as he analyzed the fights of his companions, his eagerness to resume his training was almost uncontainable after all the inspirations obtained in the last days.
Yet, when Adrian became visible in the crystal and the emblem was reflected in those images, he instinctively kicked the air under his feet to shot in the direction of Elder Hope's battle.
The elders around him were surprised by that sudden action, Noah had abruptly used a martial art after all.
However, when they saw Adrian's emblem too, they picked their inscribed notebooks to inform Elder Hope about the Prince's gesture.
