Chapter 922: 922. Leap
Noah's world suddenly became white as the noise of the detonation of his disposable weapons spread in the area. He didn't remain still though and quickly used the Merging spell to sprint away from the Albino Snake's attack.
The beast's attack was quick, but Noah had his fuming armor and had acted in time to dodge most of the destructive power of the white beam. Only the left side of his protection got destroyed as he escaped from the area of effect of the light.
A series of hisses of pain followed that attack, and Noah heard even the Albino Snake's cry among those sounds.
The detonation of his inscribed weapons had spread chaos in the pack. Almost all the creatures in the human ranks had died in the explosions. The few of them that had survived had suffered grave injuries too since the disposable weapons were items in the fifth rank.
The shockwaves that they had created were enough to kill anything in the human ranks.
The Albino Snake had suffered only some minor injury, but the explosion had forced it to stop its light beam and focus on protecting its body. Noah had predicted such an outcome, and he had already prepared himself to launch another series of attacks.
Noah executed the second form of his martial art again as soon as he came out of the beam. A fissure appeared among the light still lingering in the environment, and more deep wounds formed on the curled body of the Albino Snake.
Then, Noah attacked again and again, taking advantage of every second that the Snake was giving him to inflict as much damage as possible.
Noah managed to launch only three attacks before the Snake reacted. Angry hisses sounded in the area as the beast lifted its head again and threw another light beam.
Noah couldn't face the beam head-on. The Albino Snake was at the peak of the fifth rank, and its attacks could injure him gravely if he were to let it hit him directly.
The difference between the strength of their bodies was enormous even if they were both in the upper tier of the fifth rank, and Noah was a hybrid. He couldn't compare with a magical beast that had almost stepped into the last part of the heroic ranks.
However, Noah didn't need to get close to the creature, and the fact that it couldn't fly allowed him to take complete control of the flow of the battle.
Noah would dodge whenever the Albino Snake launched one of its beams and throw disposable weapons to force it to stop its offensive and give him time to attack.
The Demonic Form prevented him from suffering any injury, and the Snake saw wounds piling on its body as the fight kept going.
That was the difference in power between a cultivator and a magical beast. The Albino Snake was far stronger than Noah when it came to basic abilities, but he had the wits to choose the battle style that gave him more advantages.
The fact that it couldn't fly also helped a lot in the matter. The Snake was unable to face Noah as long as he stayed in the air.
Still, the peaceful behavior of that species was just a natural consequence of their calculative minds. Albino Snakes weren't on the level of intelligent beasts when it came to their thinking ability, but they came quite close to them.
Also, Noah's target was unique, so it wasn't a surprise that it could resort to simple tactics.
The Albino Snake's body was a mess of blood and cuts after it exchanged multiple attacks with Noah. Still, it could keep fighting at full strength since the stamina of a beast at that level was nigh-endless.
