Chapter 819
The invading forces didn't expect to take the city at their first attack . The defending side always had the advantage during a war, and the three organizations were attacking the most powerful force in the world . There wasn't much that they could do before they analyzed the battlefield properly .
Yet, the only way to do so was to test the defenses of the Empire and create countermeasures .
Elder Julia and Elder Austin weren't injured . They barely looked tired at all . However, Danielle had a few cracks on her mantis body . As for Noah, his skin had many wounds, and his robe was torn and bloody . The bleeding though had already stopped due to his powerful healing properties and the innate resilience of his body .
Noah didn't feel tired as he stood proudly on the rocky terrain, staring at Peaceful Storm that was eyeing him with an annoyed look on his face . Those wounds weren't enough to force Noah to rest, but it wasn't the same for his opponent .
Peaceful Storm had come in contact with the black smoke multiple times, and that corrosive gas had even affected his internal organs . The humans were simply too frail, and Peaceful Storm was managing to keep on fighting because he was suppressing his injuries . Once he came back to his quarters, he would need to resort to powerful drugs to heal .
On the other hand, Noah only needed to eat . His skin and muscles weren't a problem, but his internal organs had suffered a bit during the outburst of the distorted space and needed some nutrients to heal quickly .
Yet, Noah wasn't worried about his state in the slightest . He only cared about his battle prowess, and he felt some satisfaction as he reviewed his first fight against a complete rank 5 cultivator .
Noah knew that he had never really gained the upper hand in the battle . He had only relied on his superior body to match Peaceful Storm's annoying defense . However, he couldn't help but approve the power that his darkness was able to produce when it fueled his abilities .
Peaceful Storm wasn't weak, and his experience in battles at that level far surpassed Noah's . Also, his centers of power were stronger than Noah's, even if they weren't on superior stages or tiers .
Nevertheless, Noah's attacks had managed to match his and even overcome them at times .
'I can fight the old monsters,' Noah thought as he moved forward to gather the hybrids that had survived the blue pillar . Most of them were scared and had fallen prey to their survival instincts, but Noah's roars calmed them down and forced them to regroup with the other troops .
They had lost a battle, but that was just the beginning of the war . The Shandal Empire had managed to fend them off that time, but it was still against three powerful forces . Its defenses could only delay the inevitable defeat .
The elders in the fourth rank shot worshipping gazes at Noah . They still wielded the living weapons that had given them an incredible advantage during the battle and had put them in a position where they could notice the arrival of the blue pillar before it was too late .
Having access to an almost limitless number of spells had made them overwhelm the enemy forces and even kill a few of them before the blue light arrived, and Noah was the one who had provided that power .
