Chapter 708
Noah didn't need to spend much time on the Ghostly sabers spell during the two years before the attack . So, he could focus on other abilities after completing the modifications on the Mental saber spell .
Of course, he had prioritized the abilities that didn't require much "Breath", and one of them was the Will-consuming rune .
Noah had yet to create another personal rune, but he had used that time to improve the saber-shaped one that he had made in the past . His mind had become able to condense stronger emotions when it reached the fifth rank, which allowed him to create a stronger version of his first rune .
Thomas saw hundreds of small, black sabers with power in the solid stage of the fourth rank filling the ground under him .
The sabers began to absorb the "Breath" in the environment and even the primary energy that Noah's spells had previously released with their destruction . Their power multiplied, and they seemed to near the peak of the fourth rank in just a matter of seconds .
The density of the "Breath" in the area quickly plummeted as the runes absorbed it, but Thomas couldn't focus on it since a series of ethereal sabers shot from the ground toward him .
It was clear that Noah was planning something and that he didn't want Thomas to interrupt his strategy .
Thomas snorted and surrounded his figure with gales again while also waving his fan many times . His mind felt the strain of using powerful attacks and defenses at the same time, but the situation required him to push himself to his limits .
Also, Noah was still nowhere to be seen . It was as if he had disappeared after the last attack flung him underground .
The raging, dense air around Thomas fought against the incoming ethereal sabers while the winds released by his fan crashed on the array of black runes on the ground .
He didn't want to fall in a passive position against an opponent that used mental attacks . After all, he had already been injured due to one slight distraction .
However, that approach lowered the might of both his attack and defensive method .
Thomas was only a rank 4 mage, but he was using abilities fueled by "Breath" in the fifth rank . There was a limit to how well he could handle two of his strongest skills at the same time, especially since their power surpassed the capabilities of his mind .
His mental energy depleted at high speed to control both abilities, but he managed to obtain some initial success with that approach . The black runes fell apart and released the energy that they had previously accumulated, and the ethereal sabers struggled to pierce the dense winds that surrounded him .
Yet, that positive trend was bound to stop as the reserves of his sea of consciousness kept on diminishing .
Thomas' focus reached its peak as he poured more energy to destroy the runes on the ground, and he moved his attention to the Ghostly sabers only when the other threat was taken care of . The winds around him became more violent when the last saber-shaped rune fell apart since Thomas could use all his concentration on the mental attack after that .
Nevertheless, he suddenly felt that an unstoppable force was tearing apart his defensive method .
Noah had hidden underground and used his Dark cover spell to conceal his presence while his spells kept his grandfather busy . Thomas had been so focused on the various sabers that he didn't notice that Noah had come out from the ground behind him and had directly charged at him .
Thomas' defensive method countered mental attacks, but it couldn't do anything against Noah's physical strength .
The winds dispersed under the pressure released by Noah's punch, and only then was Thomas able to feel the immense danger that Noah radiated .
