Chapter 945: 945. Idea
Noah had released two black lines as soon as he saw the blue arrows forcing Elder Julia to perform an evasive maneuver. His attack stopped the solid stage cultivator's offensive and forced him to use his metallic birds to defend himself.
The black lines couldn't pierce the cultivator's spell, but Noah detonated them once they were close enough to inflict some damage. The corrosive smoke that they contained enveloped Elder Julia's opponent in a threatening cloud.
A series of wind slashes soon pierced the cloud and ravaged its insides. Elder Julia had immediately understood what was happening, and she didn't hesitate to launch an attack once the arrows had flown past her.
The black smoke affected the power of the slashes, but they still managed to reach its center, where the expert of the Empire was using his defensive methods to fend off the corrosive gas. It was needless to say that the arrival of the new threat forced him to reveal more of his power.
Noah felt a dangerous sensation surging from the back of his mind and warning him that something was coming. He couldn't pinpoint the cause due to the many threats on the battlefield, but he retreated anyway.
Messing with cultivators in the last stage of the fifth rank wasn't a matter that he could take lightly. He was a hybrid in the upper tier, and his abilities were already above those that cultivators on his same level were capable of casting.
Nevertheless, he knew that one serious attack from someone in the solid stage could hurt him badly, and he preferred to avoid that outcome.
The cause of the dangerous sensation turned out to be both the districts near the floating structure and the cultivator inside the black cloud. Two blue arrows shot in his direction, and a series of metallic feathers came out of the remains of the black smoke to reach for him.
Noah promptly activated the Merging spell to escape from the trajectory of the spells. He didn't need to use that ability, but he wanted to put as much distance as he could between him and the feathers to counterattack.
He was already far away when the arrows crossed his previous position, but the feathers were still after him. Noah could only turn at that point and use the saber-shaped runes around him to face the incoming spell.
A loud clash happened. Metallic feathers and black sabers met mid-air and destroyed themselves. Noah's runes had reached the power of the solid stage by that time, and the soldier's spell wasn't as sturdy as the birds. Both attacks failed to cross the opponent's barrage.
The cloud of black smoke had dispersed when the feathers shot toward Noah. The expert of the Empire reappeared in the open, showing how both Noah and Elder Julia didn't manage to inflict much damage.
There were metal feathers all over his body, and the same birds from before circled him at high speed to create a protected area with the soft shockwaves that they released.
A few trails of blood seeped through the feathers and flowed alongside his body until they fell below. The cultivator of the Empire had suffered some light wounds, but it was unclear who caused those injuries.
Still, his expression showed his immense anger and irritation.
"Iron Feathers is an expert with earth aptitude," Elder Julia's voice resounded inside Noah's head at that moment. "Be careful, Prince. His attacks might appear straightforward, but he has a large variety of them."
Elder Julia continued to convey what she had learnt about Iron Feathers during their battle. The truth was that she didn't want Noah to join her fight, but the blue arrows were giving her a hard time.
