Chapter 1064: 1064
The water puppets had crumbled after Snore's feathers ravaged the river . They didn't have a core inside them, so Noah had guessed that the shining stream fueled those defenses .
His guess had been on point since the puppets, and their abilities lost power once Snore's attack destroyed most of the river . The water directly disintegrated when the feathers crashed on the riverbed, and the cracks spread to ruin the previous orderly shape of the canal .
The Black Hole spell had eradicated the superficial layer of the ground, halting the creation of knights . Most of the buildings had vanished during the explosion, and the mirrors on them suffered from the same fate .
His flames had created a starry sky right above the ground that ravaged anything that had survived the previous spells . The Royal Academy lost entire quarters instantly once his innate ability managed to exploit their defenseless state .
Noah had deactivated the Demonic Form by the time he reached Cecil, but the corrosive smoke still lingered behind him . The cultivators on the other side of the battlefield couldn't help due to the threatening cloud blocking their path .
Moreover, the flames and the corrosive smoke had filled the battlefield so much that the healing light struggled to fix the formations' countless damages .
Noah noticed how that golden light could even reform formations that his attacks had wrecked, but he didn't have time to feel amazed .
His target was in his grasp, and he had crossed the initial defensive layers . He would typically use that situation to spread his destruction even more, but he had to confirm something before pressing forward .
Cecil remained frozen in place under Noah's pressure . He felt as if his life was the frailest thing in the world with the invader's fingers around his neck . Yet, that terror couldn't compare with the fear he felt when Noah's cold words reached his ears .
"Did you kill Ivor?" Noah asked, while his mouth almost touched the Royal's ear . Cecil shuddered, and a tinge of disbelief made its way through his fear when he understood the reasons behind Noah's actions .
"Did you do all of this for that ruined cultivator?" Cecil shouted in anger . He had accepted his death in those short seconds, so he didn't fear to let out his true feelings in the last moments of his life . "Did you kill my son to avenge that walking corpse? Did you declare war to the Elbas family for an inscription master that could barely remember your name?"
Noah didn't even listen to his words . It didn't matter if the reasons that drove his actions were petty . He didn't care that almost five hundred years had passed since Ivor's events .
"Did you kill Ivor?" Noah asked again as his fingertips pierced Cecil's skin .
Some of the escaping Royals stopped their retreat and wielded inscribed cannons when they saw that Noah didn't follow them . They prepared a battle formation to block him as soon as he resumed his charge .
The golden light continued to fix the formations while Noah remained still . On the other side of the battlefield, the cultivators began to fly around the corrosive cloud to help their companions .
Noah was wasting precious time, and Cecil knew it . His mind had become clearer than ever when he accepted his death . His only focus was on making sure that the Demon Prince of the Hive lost that battle now .
No answer came from the suppressed Royal, and Noah knew that he didn't have time to torture him . Also, Cecil was different from his son . He had the mindset of a real expert . Even when facing death, he had found a way to help his organization .
