Chapter 255
A shadow ran near the western side of the continent .
It was fast, it shot through the plains without hesitation, only looking at was in front of it .
That shadow was, of course, Noah .
He was clad in a tight black robe with a hood that covered his face and he was speeding in a straight line along the coastline, he was using it as his landmark .
'Two months have passed by now, I bet that the information about my element has become public already . '
Noah knew that the noble families would retort in some way to his absence to the meeting, he had already considered the worst possible outcome and he couldn't care less .
'Even if they label me as a criminal and start a man-hunt, I am already outside their reach . '
In the two months after the events of in the Bare Dungeon, Noah did everything he could to cover his tracks and escape the Utra nation .
He had destroyed his hunter and academy's tokens for fear of being tracked down by the Royals, he really didn't want to bet on Ivor's words .
Then, he had inspected Phoebe and Manuel's space-rings, gaining a large number of resources and potions before destroying the rings too .
Lastly, he had cut his hair short, he didn't think that a simple haircut would hide his identity in front of other cultivators but he believed that it could slow down the investigations .
As for his escape plan, it was quite simple .
The Bare Dungeon was already near the border of the nation, it was at only one week of travel from the Royal city after all, reaching the border took him no time .
Noah had chosen to move to the westernmost part of the country though before abandoning the nation and he had his reasons for that .
The first one was that he had no idea about the actual layout of the other countries, he could only use the coastline to be sure of his path .
The second one was that the western side of the country was the one with fewer cultivators!
At the center of the border, there was the Royal city and, on the eastern side, there was the academy .
Those two structures gathered the majority of cultivators of that part of the country, the others would just reside in their mansions and would generally avoid the areas populated by commoners .
However, Noah preferred to hide his presence even in front of those commoners .
During his travel, he had encountered many small or large villages that had only a few weak cultivators in them .
Those were the moments when he would use the Warp spell .
Noah had always held back in using that spell during his battles .
The main reason was that he wanted to hide his actual proficiency with it but there was more to it .
The Warp spell was hard to perform, it required a great deal of concentration and mental energy and required for the user to see or to sense the place where he would teleport .
Also, it needed some time to cast it, its efficiency in battle completely depended on the situation .
Yet, one big advantage was that it left no traces of the user .
