Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079: 1079
A series of blinding beams came out of the formations' cores, and many Elders had to use defensive items to fend them off .

Two large ballistae floated behind the array of formations . Peak rank 4 cultivators loaded massive inscribed arrows that crossed the entirety of the battlefield once launched .

Only Chasing Demon and Great Elder Diana could stop those arrows since they were disposable items with quasi-rank 6 power . When the Royals paired them with the rank 6 ballistae at the peak of the lower tier, they became attacks capable of killing powerhouses .

The two leaders of the alliance could take care of those attacks and have enough time to charge at the ballistae . Still, Third Prince and First Princess floated behind the enemy lines and controlled the defenses to hinder their movements .

'How can they still have so many heroic assets?' Noah thought . The Elbas family had deployed fewer troops on that battlefield, but its sheer number of powerful cultivators surprised him nonetheless .

There were more than twenty rank 5 cultivators on the Royals' side, and many of them were in the solid stage . Noah had already accepted that the Royal Pool was a miraculous item, but that rate of growth was simply unbelievable!

The Hive had been at its prime for a while . Its best assets were the many talented cultivators gathered over the years . The other world's rebellion had made it suffer some losses, but it had still produced more than forty rank 5 experts in the last centuries .

However, the numbers of the Elbas family were off the scale . Noah had killed tens of powerful assets after returning to the surface, but there didn't seem to be an end to them .

Noah felt even surer that King Elbas had managed to improve the effects of the Pool . Such grooming properties were nowhere near the fairness imposed by Heaven and Earth .

A single miraculous item wouldn't be too troublesome if it were the only amazing asset of the Elbas family . The Hive had the Copying Technique in the end, and that was equally annoying to deal with .

Yet, the Royals had their incredible expertise in the inscription fields, which made having so many powerful assets even more troublesome .

The alliance had deployed more troops, but the many defenses in place made advancing impossible . The experts of both Hive and Council had the upper hand over their enemies, but they never managed to land a deadly blow .

Slowly exhausting the Royals didn't work either since the formations' healing light made every injury pointless . Instead, the enemy army could work together with the beaming cores and wound the allied forces over time .

There were also a series of massive shields between the Royal army and the formations . Noah saw how the enemy cultivators could cross them easily to return to a safe spot .

'Shields, ballistae, and the two powerhouses,' Noah listed in his mind the assets that could threaten rank 6 cultivators . He didn't know if his arrival could turn the trend of that battle, but he had the chance to test his new weapon at least .

'I hate shining things,' Night said through its connection with Noah's mind . The bird-like Companion stood on Noah's shoulder as he inspected the battlefield with him .



'That's good,' Noah answered with his mind . 'They are your targets . '

'How should I even destroy them with this awful body?' Night snorted, but Noah shot forward while replying in an uncaring manner . 'That's your problem . Weren't you the strongest predator?'

"The strongest predator in darkness!" Night shouted, and some cultivators turned in Noah's direction when they heard the bird's chirping cry .

'I'll give you darkness then,' Noah answered . His Demonic Sword flew in his palm as he neared the allied powerhouses, and Snore materialized next to him .

The two older living assets stared at the bird on Noah's shoulder in disdain . They knew how Night treated Noah, so they couldn't help but find it annoying .

Yet, Night barely deigned those weapons of a glance . It had been a divine beast in the end . Those two heroic assents weren't worthy of its attention .

Night's indifference made the Demonic Sword and Snore even angrier . Noah could feel their intense feelings trying to interfere with the Pterodactyl, but they stopped when he reached Chasing Demon and Great Elder Diana .



The two powerhouses flew close to each other as they launched attacks whenever they didn't have to defend against the threatening arrows . Armies of tall puppets self-detonated on the golden shields, and an array of orange spheres cast small lightning bolts that targeted the formations' cores .

Their offensive stopped whenever the two ballistae shot arrows . Metallic puppets and orange spheres would fall apart as the massive bolts crossed the golden shields and flung every cultivator in their range back .

The arrows injured even the Elbas family's assets, but they had the golden light healing them continuously, so they didn't mind that strategy .

Instead, the allied forces had to dodge those attacks every time and expose themselves to their enemies during the evasive maneuvers . Only Chasing Demon and Great Elder Diana could remain still and cast spells capable of blocking the arrows .

Chasing Demon saw the bolt curving to aim for his chest and was about to summon a few metallic creatures when he saw a familiar figure stepping in front of him .

The emblem of the Hive on his back reflected the many lights filling the battlefield, and his aura resembled a violent torrent of swords capable of flying in an orderly manner .

A smile appeared on the old powerhouse's face . Now that Noah was there, the alliance could finally attempt to overwhelm the Royal family's annoying defenses .

Noah saw the arrow coming in slow motion . The Demonic Sword was in his grasp, and Snore was ready to help, but he wanted to see how potent those disposable weapons were .



Before the arrow could hit his chest, Noah threw a punch, giving birth to a silent shockwave when his knuckles and the huge tip connected .

Both Noah and the arrow remained still for an instant before the effects of their clash became visible to everyone .

Cracks appeared on the bolt and covered its surface . A long wound opened on Noah's arm, spreading from his knuckles to his shoulder . The impact also flung him away, but the arrow crumbled at the same time .

Noah felt two powerful pairs of eyes on him when he managed to stop his momentum . Third Prince and First Princess stared at him from behind the shields with an annoyed expression .

A few drops of dark-red blood flowed out of his wound, but corrosive smoke soon came out of his skin and covered his whole figure . Chasing Demon ordered a full retreat of the weaker forces at that sight, and Great Elder Diana imitated him .

Noah was using the Demonic Form while being a rank 6 mage . The battlefield would soon turn into a rank 6 danger zone where only powerhouses could live .

The Prince and Princess shouted similar orders, but the Elbas family's troops only retreated behind the shields . They didn't move to the edges of the region like their enemies .

'Is this darkness enough?' Noah asked, and Night released a long chirping sound that resembled a battle cry .
