Chapter 850
With the Black Hole spell almost ineffective against Icy Stare's spells, Noah had a hard time creating a strategy that could allow him to defeat her . He lacked the means to gain the advantage in that fight .
Of course, Noah had known that since his last battle with her . Still, he had chosen to fight her again to gain an idea of how to improve his combat style further .
Truth to be told, his disadvantage came mostly from the difference of power between their centers of power . Noah had been in the fifth rank for a little more than forty years, and he had only spent a part of them training since he had advanced without a suitable cultivation technique .
The fact that his darkness allowed him to match an expert at the peak of the gaseous stage was already an incredible feat, even if part of the merit had to go to his hybrid status . Yet, Noah had never been satisfied with his current power and always desired more .
The power of his darkness didn't make up for the weaknesses of his combat style . He lacked attacks that could match the power of the second form of his martial art, a type of offensive that only a hybrid could be capable of performing .
Nevertheless, creating or modifying spells and fusing them with martial arts was a long process that Noah couldn't start during that war . He didn't have enough time to immerse himself in another series of experiments .
Also, his instincts told him that he had to focus on the creation of his higher energy before concentrating on other projects . Having access to that new fuel would give Noah more possibilities to create a suitable offensive . It would even make him understand what it was capable of improving .
The creation of something so powerful would require time and experience in the field, together with a detailed plan .
King Elbas' research said that darkness and light cultivators didn't have only one way to create higher energy, but that lack of guidelines only increased the amount of work that Noah had to do in that project .
It had been quite straightforward with June since King Elbas had explained what type of procedure the lightning element had to go through to evolve . However, she had still spent a lot of time preparing and studying the inscription methods that had allowed her to complete the evolution of her "Breath" .
Instead, Noah would have to start from scratch, knowing only that it was possible to create something similar even with his rare aptitude .
Nevertheless, if he succeeded, he would be virtually unbeatable against beings on the same level . After all, his darkness was already incredibly strong, and he couldn't wait to see how powerful he would become if he created a form of energy with his "Breath" as its basis .
The battle against Icy Stare continued for a while .
Noah would take a few hits from time to time to gain enough space to launch his more potent attack . However, Icy Stare performed an evasive maneuver every time she saw him enduring her spells with his body .
There were clear limits to Noah's simple combat style, and any expert in the fifth rank that he couldn't overwhelm with his sheer power would understand them in a few exchanges . After that, it was almost impossible for Noah to hit them .
'A powerful Blood Companion would be beneficial here,' Noah thought as he pushed his limits to block the barrage of spells coming at him . He had almost stopped attacking at that point and was mainly focusing on defending .
