Chapter 821
Countless Wings was a perfect counter to Noah's abilities .
The Ghostly Claws and the Demonic Form managed to repel the explosive power of the fiery butterflies, but Countless Wings kept on moving, and her arrows prevented Noah from chasing after her in a straight line . Also, as she kept Noah away, her wings would leave a trail of fire that created even more butterflies .
Noah found himself unable to reach her even when he used the Merging spell, which left him in a hopeless pursuit that only depleted his energy . It seemed that he didn't have any chance to gain the upper hand against Countless Wings .
'I didn't want to use this just yet,' Noah thought as he focused on activating another spell .
It all started as a black dot coming out of his palm . That little sphere floated above Noah's head and generated a gravitational pull when it was in position . The trajectory of the butterflies suddenly shifted and converged toward the sphere that shattered them until they were nothing more than primary energy . That primary energy then fused with Noah's spell, enlarging its shape and increasing its suction force .
Countless Wings was an experienced warrior who had witnessed a large variety of spells . The sphere summoned by Noah was an ability that the heroic assets of that world had already noted down, even if they weren't aware of all its specifics . Yet, Countless Wings had already encountered similar attacks and knew that all of them could only absorb a limited amount of energy .
It was a necessary feature dictated by the fairness of Heaven and Earth . An ability able to absorb energy indefinitely simply couldn't exist .
So, she decided to move even faster, increasing the number of flames that she left behind and creating more butterflies to overload that defensive spell .
Noah felt strange when he saw the reaction of his opponent . On one side, he felt happy that Countless Wings had chosen that approach . Yet, part of him was worried at the sight of the black sphere madly absorbing the energy released by the shattered butterflies .
The truth was that the Black Hole spell had gained unusual properties after Noah replaced the "Breath" of Heaven and Earth with his darkness . It had become a never-ending vortex able to devour any energy that came near it, and the usual limit applied to that kind of spells seemed to have vanished in its case .
When he tested it inside the separate dimension, the Black Hole spell had continued to absorb energy even after it had become too powerful for his mind to handle . Noah had been forced to detonate it back then and listen to a long series of complaints from Thirty-seven, which labeled it as an unstable spell .
Modifying and fusing two different diagrams had given birth to something impressive that could act on its own when Noah's darkness fueled it . The cause behind its unusual behavior probably was Noah's greed since it was a core part of the fused spell .
That feeling apparently resonated with his "Breath" and destabilized the structure of the spell, turning it into an all-devouring sphere that radiated his distinctive destruction .
Noah had understood that his mind had to improve before he could use it in battle at ease, but he always could detonate it before it escaped his control . So, his decision to use it in that fight wasn't exactly reckless . It just made him feel worried about potential drawbacks .
