Chapter 856: 856
Two cuts on his shoulders were noting if they allowed Noah to put his opponents in a worse position than him .
He had never fought two rank 5 magical beasts at the same time, and the creatures facing him in that situation were even hybrids . Yet, for Noah, they were just food that he had to obtain .
The only issue about fighting hybrids was that their physical might could rival his own . The fact that there were two of them with that power meant that the battle would be long and could lead to various injuries if he wasn't careful .
Engaging in such a fight in the middle of a battlefield was dangerous for various reasons . After all, someone had already tried to ambush Noah once . However, he couldn't just give up on the possibility of obtaining those powerful corpses along with their dantians .
Noah didn't activate the Divine Deduction technique . He knew how those creatures acted already, and he could handle the spells in their possession without enhancing his mind .
Also, he had to preserve as much mental energy as he could in case someone tried to sneak up on him .
He didn't hold back his other spells though . A sea of saber-shaped runes quickly surrounded him, and a black dot formed in his palm only to float upward to hover above his head . A series of Ghostly Sabers appeared around him too and pointed their tips at the Sonic Hawks that had already turned to face him .
Trails of gray smoke came out of the fiendish mouth of his draconic helmet as he prepared his flames . Just the slight touch with his fire had made the two Hawks lose a large number of feathers, which acted as protection in that species . A direct attack would probably cause a critical injury in those hybrids .
The only issue was that they were too fast for him to land a direct hit with his flames . They had even survived the direct contact with them thanks to their fantastic acceleration .
The Sonic Hawks released another cry, and Noah felt his consciousness struggling to maintain its focus on the two figures that had suddenly accelerated in his direction . The "Breath" in their dantians had improved their innate ability so much that they could even affect Noah's mind!
Yet, Noah had already raised his weapons and surrounded himself with his flames, ready to receive their attack and counter-attack .
The Hawks flew past him, piercing the layer of flames and leaving two deep marks on the sides of his waist . Blood started to come out of his injuries, but Noah's attention had never moved from the chains that bound those hybrids to the fissures on the ground .
As soon as he sensed the pain coming from his waist, he let go of his weapon and stretched his hand, tightening his grasp when he felt something metallic touching his fingers .
Noah flew backward, pulled by the momentum of one of the Hawks as he kept his hand on the chain linked to its neck . The speed that he reached in those short instants forced him to close his eyes, but his consciousness remained vigil .
The Sonic Hawk understood that something was wrong when it sensed that its speed was decreasing, but a wave of flames suddenly enveloped it and forced its flight to a stop . With the inscribed chain hold tightly in his grasp, Noah could aim his innate ability with high precision, and he didn't fail to hit the hybrid that had just become aware of his presence .
A series of loud cries spread through the battlefield as the Hawk screeched in pain . That noise claimed the attention of the other hybrid, which didn't hesitate to echo that sound and direct it to the human that had hurt its companion .
