Chapter 844: 844
Noah's scaled armor had dispersed when the spells landed on him . A thin layer of ice had spread on his chest where a series of cuts had appeared . However, black smoke soon came out of his body and reduced the ice to ashes before turning him again into a fiendish figure .
He had never liked to be passive in a battle, and Icy Stare was able to push him back . So, he had simply decided to endure the might of her spells with his body and cast the second form of his martial art .
His physical strength was well known to the cultivation of the world by then, and no expert would ever allow him to get close . After all, even a single punch could kill them if they were careless .
However, Noah would only express a part of his power if he didn't use the incredible properties of his body . His martial arts were able to match spells because of it, but they alone didn't cover everything that his body was capable of .
In a situation where a melee battle was impossible, and his normal abilities weren't able to overwhelm his opponent, Noah had decided to rely on his innate defenses to launch his most potent attack right through her offensive .
'Why is the Black Hole spell affecting her spells so little?' Noah started pondering about the issue as he resumed his offensive . Icy Stare did the same, but she began to move to affect a wider part of the sky with her freezing aura .
There was something strange with her spells . The forms that she created were extraordinarily lifelike and didn't act according to specific patterns . Instead, they flew in odd trajectories and would even dodge some of the black lines launched by Noah .
It was as if Noah was facing a series of lifeforms rather than simple spells .
That peculiarity became more evident in the forms that imitated magical beasts . Those icy figures never flew in a straight line, and they even tried to encircle Noah at times .
'Dammit!' Noah cursed in his mind before activating the Divine Deduction technique .
He would generally avoid using so many techniques at once . The consumption of mental energy was absurd when he went all out, and adding the divine inscriptions worsened that already dire situation .
The drawbacks of being a cultivator of the darkness element were still there, even if his darkness had considerably eased that issue . It was merely his mental energy the fuel that was enduring them now .
The same problem didn't appear in cultivators with more common aptitudes, and the existences in the fifth rank could make up for the difference in power between their elements by using more spells .
Of course, not every expert in the fifth rank could obtain a large number of diagrams at the same level, but those that were experienced inscription masters had managed to create some spells through the centuries . Those attacks would even match their individualities most of the time, which made them stronger compared to those produced by others .
Icy Stare appeared to be one of those experts since her freezing aura worked perfectly with her icy figures . Also, she was even able to reduce the destructiveness of Noah's smoke, which meant that her ice wasn't ordinary at all .
Noah had a few plans to turn the situation in his favor, but only the clarity given by the Divine Deduction technique could put him always one step ahead of his enemy . He wanted to understand the nature of her ice too, so he could only sacrifice his mental energy in that battle .
