Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 739

Chapter 739
Noah was a fantastic liar, and he was great at hiding his emotions . His acting skills were incredible, even if he didn't rely on them so often anymore . His path led him to express his individuality, and he couldn't risk tainting it .

Yet, he still needed to pretend when it came to June and some of his powers . He couldn't just reveal all his secrets to his enemies .

However, all that experience in feigning his emotions didn't help him when he heard Danielle's words .

It wasn't hard to understand what she meant, and Noah even believed that her punch had only been a test . She needed to assess his physical strength to be sure of her guess .

'Did this world use to have hybrids?' Noah questioned himself, but there was a more pressing matter in front of him .

Danielle's words had been soft, but the cultivators behind him were rank 4 mages . Their consciousnesses couldn't have missed hearing her, especially when she was attacking their leader!

The fact that he was a hybrid was one of his biggest secrets, and he wasn't ready to reveal it to the world .

The Hive and the other factions could have picked up some clues about his body-nourishing method, but they were useless without actual confirmations . Also, the thought that he had fused himself with a magical beast was quite unbelievable, and that further hindered their ability to understand .

"Humans haven't been able to wield the beas-," Danielle began to speak, but Noah quickly interrupted her by raising his voice .



"This conversation should be private!" Noah shouted, and both sides felt surprised when they heard him, especially his companions .

Noah was always cold and calculative with his behavior . They had never seen him losing his cool .

Their interest obviously spiked at that point, but Danielle didn't fail to understand the meaning behind his sudden action and decided to protect his secret .

"Follow me," Danielle said while moving her gaze toward her wrist still locked in Noah's grasp .

Noah nodded at her when he noticed that gesture, and he slowly released her while storing his saber and dispersing his spell . His eyes though didn't leave the tall woman even when she turned to fly toward the center of the region .

If someone were to look at Noah's expression, they would believe that Noah had been captivated by Danielle's beauty and was unable to stop looking at her . However, the truth was that his interest in the matter was so high that he could barely contain himself from asking the questions that were popping in his mind .

Noah followed Danielle, and the other envoys did the same . The three natives limited themselves to escort the group while keeping some distance from it . No one talked . The envoys were still surprised by the sudden change of attitude of the rank 5 cultivator, while Noah was simply waiting to be alone with her .

Of course, the envoys didn't fail to link Noah's body with that change . It was the only logical conclusion, but they didn't really understand what they had discovered .




Noah's body was still a mystery in their minds, but it was a mystery that seemed extremely important in that world . Only June had a clearer picture of the situation since she knew that Noah shared many similarities with the magical beasts .

Danielle led the group in one empty area that lacked any sign of civilization . However, when she waved her hand, a crack spread in the sky and revealed a tall castle hidden behind that cloaking spell .

The envoys went through the fissure and found themselves in what appeared to be a transparent dome .

The castle wasn't the only building inside those glassy walls . There were many mansions laid around the perimeter of that huge structure, and a series of training grounds spread behind it .

Also, Noah didn't fail to notice that the awful smell had increased in intensity when he entered the dome .

'This should be one of the most protected places in the entire region . ' Noah thought .

He had already begun to link the intensity of that scent with the defenses of an item or area . Its purpose was quite evident for someone who could recognize it . As for the three natives, they simply remained on the other side of the crack and watched as it quickly closed .



Danielle led the group inside the castle, and a series of human cultivators with two centers of power welcomed their arrival with a military salute .

She didn't look at them and continued to speed through the large corridor unfolding in front of the envoys . Noah and the others didn't even have time to inspect the environment for fear that she would disappear if they lost their focus .

Danielle slowed down only when they reached a large hall, where other human cultivators welcomed her again and waited for further orders .

It appeared that those weak soldiers guarded the entirety of the castle, and their status seemed to be higher compared to that of the rank 2 cultivator still carried by the Empire's envoy .

'They should be some kind of Royal Guards, but they are just humans . ' Noah thought before losing interest in them .

Danielle completely stopped when she reached the end of the hall and turned to look at Noah at that point .

"The rest of you must remain here . " She said . "The guards will bring you everything you ask . "

Then, she crossed the door at the end of the hall without waiting for their reaction .

Noah quickly followed her even if he felt that the envoys were about to shout a series of complaints . However, they didn't say anything when they saw that Noah had already left them .

Also, they didn't dare to break Danielle's orders for fear of undermining the opportunity of a peaceful relationship with that world .

Danielle brought Noah in the deepest parts of the castle, where a series of paintings depicted images of cultivators slaying giant beasts with their bare hands . Some of them even used abilities belonging to the magical beasts' world!

Yet, when he saw a painting depicting a human eating the raw meat of a giant snake, he felt the need to stop to admire it .

"We weren't always so weak," Danielle said when she noticed his behavior . "We used to treat those beasts as nothing more than food when the bloodline of our ancestor still existed in this world . "

Noah remained silent when he heard her . He knew that he was about to learn what made that world so strange .

"Limitations often accompany power due to Heaven and Earth's fairness, but we managed to keep that bloodline alive even with its poor fertility . " Danielle continued while pointing at a painting that featured a series of naked men around a woman lain on a large bed .

"Yet, they crossed a limit when they tried to give a dantian to every cultivator, and lightning storms filled the sky until all of them were reduced to dust . "
