Chapter 1029: 1029
Ivor had taught him the inscription method on which Noah still based most of his creations . It wouldn't be wrong to say that his teachings had been what had allowed Noah to reach his current level .
The two of them had never been too close . Noah could barely think about anything but himself back then, and Ivor only wanted to keep his inscription method alive .
Their relationship wasn't about affection . Noah and Ivor had their plans, and they had never let their feelings hinder them . Also, both their situation and their mental state weren't ideal for that .
However, even if Ivor was practically a walking corpse, he had unlocked Noah's potential and was worthy of a good end .
Thaddeus shuddered when Noah's hand landed on his shoulder . He felt as if the slightest pressure could reduce his entire body into ashes . Still, those words reminded him of the smelly ruined cultivator that had taught Noah that reckless inscription method .
The Elbas family had researched the Elemental Forging method after Noah's hybrid status became renowned . The Royals thought that the secret of the fusion was behind that unorthodox practice, but they soon discovered that it was more than that .
The Elemental Forging method wasn't just about storing "Breath" inside the sea of consciousness . The real talent was in bending that energy to a will, which only exceptional cultivators could achieve .
A massive organization like the Elbas family had assets that met both requirements, but no positive results came from the experiments . Each expert lacked something that only Noah had, and that wasn't about his mental sphere being stronger than his dantian .
The Royals couldn't possibly know that Noah used his boundless ambition as the foundation for his wills . If they did, they would have never tried to cage him into the criminal army .
Moreover, it wasn't only a matter of ambition . Instead, it was the intensity of that feeling that made Noah's miraculous creations possible .
Thaddeus slowly began to accept his death as Noah's reptilian eyes kept on piercing his mind . He knew that he wouldn't leave that spot alive, but that realization made him calm .
Once abandoned every hope to survive, Thaddeus could focus on protecting his loved ones, and one of them happened to be the culprit behind Ivor's killing .
"I did it," Thaddeus said in a calm tone, but a sharp pain spread from his shoulder as soon as he finished his line .
Thaddeus turned only to see that everything under his right shoulder had disappeared . Noah had taken out even a piece of his neck with his move, but he was far from done .
"You have always been nothing more than a lapdog," Noah said as growls echoed at the bottom of his throat . "You have never made any real decision in your life . Now, give me a name before I bring you home to play . "
Fear invaded Thaddeus once again when he heard those words . Noah didn't care about the silent agreement at all, so he believed him .
There were fates worse than death, especially in the cultivation world . Thinking about what Noah could do with him made Thaddeus shudder even more . He began to see the end as a reward at that point .
"I-I can't," Thaddeus stuttered, but that was only the beginning .
