Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 88

Chapter 88


Evergreen forest was vast, it spanned for many kilometers in an uneven way .

Inside it, there were many danger zones and, in its depths, it wasn't unusual to find rank 3 magical beasts or large packs .

Humans were the overlords of the world but magical beasts had the advantage in the evolution process, their numbers increased in every place where humans were scarce .

Twilboia Cliff was one of those areas and there were many more like it in the world .

Generally speaking, the areas were humans lived had to be secured often in order to stop the developing of the magical beasts .

Most of Noah's mission back in the mansion had that purpose .

He was deep in the forest, hidden in an empty cave that he found along the way .

A week had passed since the events in the inheritance ground and all he did was running in a straight line away from the Shosti domain .

He was consulting a map at that moment, his clothes had changed to his usual black ones and his hair was combed in a simple ponytail .

'The academy's entrance test befalls four months from now . The city holding one of them that suits me the most is Ebonrest city at two months of travel from my position . It is quite far from Mossgrove city and the communications are scarce with the Shosti family due to Sheflan Mountain between them . '



Noah had prepared his escape routes long ago .

His space-ring was full of long-lasting provisions, new clothes, and all the useful means for a long trip .

His clothes were mostly plain gym suits that he managed to steal from the servants, he could not be found wearing the armors of the Balvan family .

'I can reach it in less than one month if I travel at a decent speed but that's quite useless . I'd rather use my time alone to raise my strength before the test . '

He still had to sort out the rewards from Eccentric Thunder and the bodies of the group from the Balvan family were still in his other space-ring .

He had a long process of arranging goods ahead of him and he had to destroy the bodies but he prioritized his escape in that week .

At some point, Noah nodded and put back the map in the ring .

'I will focus on traveling for another week and just spare some time for the Kesier rune in the meantime . After that, I will slow my march considerably, sort the goods, and return to a complete training schedule . '


He didn't feel safe .

Even if he left no proof of the battle in the first stage he still preferred to be as far as he could from his family's influence .



'Though, it should be pretty hard to investigate in the separate dimension . I bet that things aren't that good in the mansion . '

He resumed his march at a fast pace toward Ebonrest city, he was careful to avoid any magical beasts on his road, he didn't want to leave any sign of his passage .

'There is also the fact that even if they reach the conclusion that the group is dead, they can't possibly suspect me . In their mind I'm just a talented kid with no spells, never could they imagine that I have two of them which are incredibly strong . '

The blood companion had proved its value countless times by then and it was even of an unfit element for Noah .

The Demonic form, instead, was extraordinary even for him, he couldn't really imagine that something like that existed .

Not only it was a specific spell of a rare element so inherently stronger than the others, but it was also a top tier one .

'No wonder nobles are so wary of giving spells to outsiders . My battle prowess doubled with one darkness spell . '

He was finally understanding the advantage of belonging to a rare element .

Noah spent another week traveling at high speed .

He would run during the day, train in the rune for one hour, and then sleep, he did nothing else in that period .



When he felt that he had distanced himself enough from the Shosti's domain, he decided that it was time to sort the items in his space-rings .

He found a deep inhabited cavern and sat at its bottom .

One body after another appeared in front of him as he inspected them and then threw them away in a corner .

A nauseous smell began to fill the cavern but Noah simply continued in his process .

The guards had nothing valuable, he couldn't take their armors since they were a signature of his origins and they had no storage methods .

Only their weapons seemed somewhat good so he chose to keep them .

Trevor's weapon and his reward were one tier higher in quality, especially the spear with inscriptions on it so Noah didn't hesitate to store them .

'It's time for the nobles . '

Noah's eyes lit up as the shiny items entered his field of view .

Fabian and Neil didn't have a space-ring but their weapons seemed amazing .

He tried to look for the item that created the protective membrane but there was nothing that resembled it .

Since he only had Neil's body, he inspected it carefully until he found a strange cracked pendant with runes on it .

'It should be this thing but it appears broken . Now that I think about it, Lena's ring survived my black smoke so why the protective items didn't?'

He had some theories but he knew too little to be sure .

He threw Neil's two halves and broken pendant in the corner with the other bodies and moved to Lena's space-ring .

She made her whip explode so the ring was the only valuable thing left from her .

Noah used his mental energy to inspect the space on the inside but he felt a wall blocking his probing .

Some runes illuminated on its surface .

'Is it protected? What if I destroy the inscriptions?'

His mental energy continued to assault the wall while black smoke rose from the hand that was holding the item .

The runes began to corrode until the ring was near its breaking point .

Then, the wall crumbled and his mental energy was free to inspect its interiors .

Dozens of bottles and pills were inside with a small scroll and some change of clothes .
