Chapter 829 The Power Of Locking Out Cultivation

The red orc punched into his fist while cracking his neck. He was ready to give Noah a beat down to death. Facing the big brute orc, Noah remained calm. He didn't even cast a spell. Instead, Noah waited for the red orc to arrive to him.

"We are leaving," the golden-haired man tried to leave the hall, only to get halted by the silver armored guardians. These soldiers surrounded everyone to interrogate them later. It would only take a second for Gaya to use the teleportation scroll to escape. However, he couldn't leave the place without finding the real weapon. Kidnapping the two dwarves seemed to be the only option at that moment. Except, the dwarves were already under the control of the silver-armored guardians. Gaya dared not to reveal her identity when Noah was right there in the room with her.

Gaya waited for the right moment to strike. Meanwhile, the red orc almost reached Noah. When they had just a meter distance between them, the orc dashed at Noah with his fist aimed at Noah's head. Noah just moved his body to the side without moving his feet. The orc's fist brushed past his face, barely missing his nose by an inch. Then, Noah grabbed the orc's wrist, placed his hand on the orc's chest and boom, a bright beam of light shot out from Noah's palm, sending the orc flying yet again. This time, the orc crashed onto the wall, creating an orc-sized hole in it.

Fumes radiated from the orc's chest as Noah's palm got imprinted on his chest. After the orc hit the wall, the entire hall trembled.

"Stay down," Noah's voice swept across the hall. The red orc did the exact opposite of what just Noah said and got back to his feet. He clubbed his own chest like a pissed off gorilla before running toward Noah with his eyes burning in rage and violence. Keeping his focus on the orc, Noah kicked a piece of stone crumbed down from the ceiling toward the orc. It was heavy as hell, and if a commoner tried to kick it, every bone in their feet would just snap like a twig. But when Noah kicked it, the stone piece flew like a football and hit the orc right in the head before the orc could defend himself.

The orc was stunned for a few moments. Utilizing this opportunity, Noah dashed at the orc, leaped into the air, and kicked the orc with his knees.

"Argh," The orc growled, stumbling backward. Noah hovered in the air and fired a strong beam of light that knocked down the orc to the ground. On the ground, the red orc struggled and growled in pain. Then, Noah landed straight down on the orc's chest, breaking a couple of the orc's ribs in the process. Although Noah and the Orc were at the Fusion stage, Noah was far stronger than the orc. He was a god, after all. Compared to Michael, Noah had a different path to godhood and possessed different powers. Still, as a god of light, the light beam coming through the hole above them strengthened Noah. Plus, Noah spent a nice chunk of his time honing his battle prowess.

Noah stomped the orc with his knee, making the orc cough out blood. He punched the orc repeatedly until the orc's body radiated a glow from within. Suddenly, an explosion went off around the orc. The hall trembled once again as Gaya grabbed the pillar beside her to steady herself. Then, she noticed Noah crashing onto the rubble nearby. The red orc jumped back to his feet. To her surprise, the orc was on fire. He was literally on fire. However, the fire did not hurt the orc. Rather, the crimson red draped on the orc's skin like another set of armor.

Before Noah could get back to his feet, the orc readied his hand, sending a stream of scorching hot flames. The curtains around them immediately caught on fire. Soon, the fire spread like wildfire, engulfing everything around them. On the other hand, a wall of ice appeared in front of Noah and protected him from the orc's fire. Ice and fire collided, creating a misty vapor around them. Coupled with the smoke, the mist made it impossible to see a thing in the room. Luckily, it worked in Gaya's favor. She closed her eyes, spreading her senses around.

"There they are," Gaya located the two dwarves. She sneaked toward the dwarves while Noah was occupied with the orc.

"You want the dwarves?" Gaya's heart skipped a beat when she heard the orc's gruffy voice. She thought the orc was talking to her. But luckily, these words were meant for Noah. She hastened her steps, only to see another orc stumbling toward the two dwarves under the silver armored soldier's hold. For some reason, her instincts screamed at her. Her legs moved without her control and leaped backward, putting some distance between herself and the dwarves. When she leaped away, she heard another explosion. Something splashed onto her face as she touched the drop of liquid trickling down her cheek.

"Blood," Gaya saw drops of blood on her hand.

"AH!" Gaya heard another scream that sounded as loud as a banshee's cry. It sounded like the human woman accompanied the golden-haired man. The or who approached the dwarves, the explosion and the scream followed by it made Gaya question what just had happened.

"They are gone," The orc laughed like a devil. As soon as Noah heard the words, the wall of ice before him shattered. The icy shards flew in every direction, impaling wherever they came into contact. Then, a powerful gust of wind shot out of Noah, clearing the mist around them as well as swaying the flame until Noah reached the orc. Killing intent skyrocketed from Noah, seeing the bits of pieces of the dwarves and the silver-armored soldiers. Even the well-forged armor was broken into pieces by the orc, who self-exploded, killing the two dwarves.

Noah knew the orcs were dangerous but never anticipated them to self-explode. Both Noah and Gaya were speechless. But for now, Noah had to put an end to the red orc before more and more people died. Since the dwarves exploded along with the orc, Gaya had to change her plans. The two dwarves were the only ones who could have led her to the real weapon. So she turned her focus to the weapon itself. If she could transport it to the dark ocean somehow, she could ask Michael's help in tracking down or building a new one altogether. But stealing the weapons under the Guardian warship and Noah was not a small feat.

One by one, the orcs who got knocked out by Noah stood up. Their eyes glimmered with the same emerald-green glow she saw in the red orc's body. One of the orcs rushed to the weapon. After the explosion went near it, the weapon was covered in blood and looked a bit dented. The orc turned the weapon, focusing its mouth on Noah. He was ready to use the weapon to kill Noah. The plan was indeed a good one. Unfortunately, Noah couldn't be killed with typical mortal weapons, according to Michael.

The red orc quickly tried to cast a spell and dash out of the weapon's range. Yet he failed as a white sword came out of nowhere and impaled him through his chest.

"ARGH!" The orc groaned. After the sword stabbed him, the fire around the orc vanished into thin air. A sudden explosion of energy sent everything and everyone flying. Even Gaya collided against the wall and felt weak just for a brief moment. Even though she had enough strength to get back to her feet, she chose to lie on the ground as everyone else had been groaning and rolling on the ground. They looked worse. Colubra, who was behind a broken table, looked pale, groaning in pain and trying to get back to her feet.

At that moment, when Gaya thought Noah was about to finish the red orc, he did something unimaginable. Noah raised his hand and fired a bright beam of light at the weapon itself.

Boom!

Gaya almost shouted as the weapon exploded into bits and pieces. The orc who stood behind crashed onto the wall behind him and hit the ground unconscious.

"What did you do?" the red orc gasped. He couldn't believe Noah had just destroyed the weapon. Everyone, including Gaya, thought Noah was here to bring the weapon to the guild along with the dwarves. They were proven wrong by Noah. The red orc's eyes widened in complete shock. He wanted to kill Noah more than anything. One could see the rage and killing lust in his eyes.

"Grrh," The orc growled when Noah twisted the sword's hilt in the orc's chest.

"You are coming with me, Saravar," said Noah. The orc struggled to raise his hands as Gaya noticed a strange glow on the center of Noah's forehead. Soon, he cupped the orc's head as a beam of light shot out of Noah's forehead and penetrated the orc's head. This scene reminded Gaya of the time they were in the Fire Realm. Then, Noah used something similar to lock someone's cultivation.

She was lucky enough to see that again. Saravar's Fusion stage cultivation slowly declined to the point, in a few moments, he became a commoner. He was not even an arch-sensing stage cultivation at that moment. Instead, he was like someone in the Southern continent, void of any arch energy in his body. The threat Noah posed for them was the realm. Just like Michael had the power to snuff out someone's soul and absorb it, Noah possessed the power to lock someone's cultivation completely. Gaya's neck hair stood up, seeing the orc mumble like a crazy person.

Every fiber in her body told her to get out of the place immediately. After all, she had no reason to stick around. The dwarves were dead, and the prototype was in bits and pieces. So if she wasted any more time in the same room with Noah, the Supreme Guardian, she would be in deep trouble. The last thing Gaya wanted for Michael was to devise a plan to infiltrate the guardians and rescue her. Without a second thought, Gaya took out the teleportation scroll and used it.

Noah suddenly turned his gaze toward the place where Gaya was and sensed the space being distorted. Yet the person who used the teleportation scroll was no longer there.

"Who was that?" Noah heard Andreas's voice in his head.

"We will know soon enough," said Noah.
