Noah's words confused Faith, but the solemnity radiated by his expression made her took his warning seriously.
After all, Noah's achievements were well known by anyone in a position of power.
Faith knew that the Demon Prince of the Hive had managed to escape from organizations ruled by heroic cultivators, had traveled for half of the old continent, and helped in the war for the independence of the Coral archipelago.
She didn't trust him, but she trusted his survival instincts.
Faith closed her ears and retracted most of her consciousness inside her mind.
However, she left part of her mental energy around her figure in case Noah's act was part of a trap.
It was needless to say that Andrew didn't follow any of Noah's orders.
"What are you even saying!? Faith, why are you listening to him? This Prince is surely planning something. I think it's time to cont-"
Andrew began to speak, but he couldn't continue the rest of his phrase since a deafening cry resounded from the center of the continent.
The piece of Immortal Lands shook when the soundwaves spread through the entirety of its surface.
The ground split, mountains fell apart, and cracks appeared in the sky as soon as the cry crossed those areas.
It wasn't a matter of shockwaves or just an attack that used the sound to inflict damage, the cry was simply so loud that even the environment of the new continent could only crumble in front of it.
The cry affected even the sea around the continent.
Giant shards of ice separated themselves from the land under the azure continent, even the spell that had stopped the fall of those territories from the sky suffered some damage in that situation.
Noah couldn't move nor inspect his surroundings.
The air around him seemed stiff, it was as if it had become solid under the pressure that accompanied the cry.
His mental sphere trembled to no end, but the entirety of his consciousness was working to keep it intact.
His internal organs couldn't oppose those vibrations, he felt blood reaching for his mouth from inside his body.
Yet, he didn't dare to spit it.
He was sealing all his orifices in the best way he could, he even shut his eyes to protect them.
However, injuries were inevitable in that situation.
He felt a warm liquid spreading on his palms, which made him understand that his eardrums had collapsed under those vibrations.
He felt tears running down his eyes, only to realize immediately after that those tears were instead lines of blood.
Blood kept on accumulating on his mouth as his internal organs kept on being torn, and he felt the foothold created with his "Breath" shattering every time he lost his focus.
In the end, the sound dispersed, and the tremors stopped.
Noah tried to open his eyes, but his vision was foggy, it seemed that they had been damaged while he endured that attack.
He couldn't hear anything too, even his sense of touch felt off when he waved his arms.
Of course, Noah wasn't in the dark.
His consciousness left his mental sphere as soon as its walls stabilized and analyzed the situation around him.
The other envoys seemed to be still struggling with the after-effects of the piercing cry, and Noah could see that they were far worse off compared to him.
Two pills appeared in his hands, and he quickly put them inside his mouth.
A warm sensation filled his body, and a massive amount of nutrients began to focus the injuries on his internal organs with their healing capabilities.
Noah didn't hesitate to gulp one of the rank 4 healing pills from Divine Demon's inheritance, and one of the compressed rank 4 magical beasts in the upper tier that the Udye family had sent in the last period.
Little by little, his vision and hearing came back, which made Noah able to analyze the devastation that the cry had brought to the piece of Immortal Lands.
