Chapter 834
That sudden awareness gained from the Horned Horse allowed it to find a way out of Noah's incessant offensive . When Noah pulled the chains again, the hybrid used its innate ability to sprint even faster than before while covering its body with a layer of rocky armor .
Noah sidestepped the charge, but one of his four horns managed to stab his chest and leave a long horizontal injury as it went past him . Since he was still holding onto the inscribed chains, he started flying alongside the charging Horse .
'Did the chain just force it to suppress its mental instabilities?' Noah thought as he flew through the battlefield again as he kept his grasp on the inscribed item .
He didn't miss the flashes radiated by the chains while he was beating the creature, but he only managed to link them to the change in the behavior of his opponent now . It was as if they had forced it to regain its consciousness .
'Is it due to the absolute control that these bindings have once connected to a slave?' Noah pondered about that feature, but the Horned Horse had managed to stop its charge at that point and was waiting for him with its horns pointed straight at his flying figure .
Noah didn't hesitate to dive among the horns with his Demonic Sword pointed toward the center of its forehead . A series of rocky layers appeared in the trajectory of his weapon, but Noah completely disregarded them and continued to pour his darkness into the sword .
The Demonic Sword began to release black smoke that helped it pierce the defensive spell of the hybrid and stab its forehead . Yet, it didn't manage to reach the brain of the creature since its skull was too sturdy .
Of course, the battle would have ended far sooner if Noah used his spells, but he was trying to refill his mental sphere at the moment, and he didn't need them to defeat his opponent .
The Horse had just used three spells, which weren't even that effective against him . There was a limit to how much a sudden acceleration and an exploding armor could do to him after he had to face Countless Wings' strategy .
'It probably was a Flawed Human before the transformation . ' Noah thought as he delivered a punch to pull the Demonic Sword from its skull . 'It doesn't have a great diversity of spells, and the platforms are just a trick that allows it to use its innate ability in the air . '
The Horse neighed in pain, but Noah interrupted its cry with another series of slashes . The corrosive smoke released by his Demonic Sword started to envelop its figure, but the rocky armor appeared again and forced him to break it with another series of attacks .
'Even someone so inexperienced can survive this long just because it's a hybrid,' Noah thought when he began to feel annoyed by the resilience of his opponent .
Strictly speaking, the Horned Horse wasn't strong, and it even fought poorly for a creature capable of complex thoughts . It had its sporadic moments of awareness when it managed to use its hybrid status to be threatening, but its lack of spells made it just a bit more resistant than a magical beast .
Its physical strength was above the average of its species, but Noah had fused himself with a dragon . The only beings that could surpass the qualities of his body were beasts that were specialized only in one field .
