Chapter 524 524. COLDNESS
Elder Andrea was a lady of youth. She looked to be in her mid-thirties and featured almond-colored hair and features that spoke of beauty. She would be above average in terms of looks. But Noah had lost the ability to care about such.
Her golden and black robe spoke of how much she stuck to the standards of the guild. Most individuals usually stuck to normal but high-tier robes. Things changed after the war began. They were allowed to wear whatever they desired.
Funds could not be wasted on things as mediocre as clothing They usually ended up cloth-less after all.
Noah remained silent before the experts, his gaze pierced their figures to inspect their powers and he could tell how strong they both were.
Elder Von had always been strong and he knew this thanks to the battle with the unknown cultivator many years prior, but lady Andrea stood on a whole different level.
Unfortunately for both individuals, all their potential danger remained barely recorded in his mind. Noah had the capacity to take on a higher-stage cultivator. They could never hope to defeat him if they couldn't defeat individuals at that level.
If he could feel pity for them, he would. Since only the elder themselves could take him.
"Are we truly going to do this?" Asked Noah, already seeing that elder Von didn't desire a fight. But due to his strength, he would naturally be chosen to battle an old friend.
Lady Andrea nodded her head before elder Von could speak.
Noah shook his head at that point. He performed a head bow before disappearing from their sights to appear far away from them.
"I believe both of you would not be naive enough to only utilize martial arts against me," he placed his hands on his sides, and his opponents nodded.
Noah felt their seriousness from his position and he wasn't going to disrespect them by not being that way too. But he couldn't kill them. So he naturally wouldn't utilize all of his power.
Gazing through the record of his skills he shook his head finding them all too strong for the event before him. Still, he needed something to work with.
Stretching his palm forward, Noah allowed spears of ice and wind to gather behind him. Their number reached hundreds even if their size remained on the small side.
He lowered his arm and watched all that gathered attack shoot toward his opponents with blazing violence.
He had not put much into those constructs, but he put just the right amount.
Before his many elemental arrows could make contact with his targets, Noah watched a huge wall of flames suddenly spring forth out of thin air.
Hot winds flew in the land at that point and the ground started to melt at that event.
"I have trained with some of the best flame users In the lands. My fire needs something stronger to burn," Elder Von's voice reverberated throughout the lands as his wall of flames managed to destroy all of Noah's attacks.
"Impressive," Noah revealed ascending into the sky. His eyes forces on the wall of flames and watched its shrink until it was the size of a man's head.
The sheer amount of heat it released could be felt from Noah's position. Elder Von was following a basic pattern. Compress and addition.
Pouring more of his mana into the construct he forced it all to collide with itself, shrinking it, but also increasing its power and heat.
Elder Andrea simply stood close to the expert. She was a woman with the lightning affinity. Noah knew she could unleash a certain level of destruction. They seemed to have a plan, however.
"You're well aware that I'm far faster than whatever attack you desire to throw at me. If you're not, then here I am telling you." He shook his head and allowed another round of arrows to unfold behind him before letting them shoot forward with terrible speed.
This time, however, Noah added more to those constructs, but it would seem Elder Von's simple sphere of flames had just enough heat to annihilate those attacks even before they reached it.
Truly the heat was great, but Noah was resistant to it anyway.
"What an enormous amount of mana," he commented sensing the sheer vastness of the expert pool. It was outstanding.
Noah wondered what to do at that point, Elder Von wouldn't stop that dangerous process, while Andrea remained inactive. Waiting for whatever they planned to occur.
The blue light in the environment continued to intensify. So did the heat. But then something happened.
The ball of flame became too big for compression and portions of its mass flew out to land on the ground and burst into an expansive surge of flames that destroyed everything in its path.
The sphere trembled violently at that point when its mass suddenly shrunk till it reached the size of a man's fist.
The heat in the environment ceased for an instant before returning with full force. But this time its color had changed to purple and so did its radiance.
Elder Von struggled to hold it at that point so he let it go. It would seem the color of flames indicated limits of cultivators with such affinities.
Noah displayed an unfeeling smile when a purple mass streaked toward him with horrendous velocity, whilst bubbling forth into a massive ball of violent purple flames.
The ground disappeared and the air in the environment vanished. Kilometers upon kilometers suffered that event, but the true target only found his clothes disappearing, as hotness dominated his environment.
Noah remained ready to move when his instincts caught a whiff of a different element embedded within that ball of horrendous flames.
The mass of raging fire abruptly saw huge bluish-green sparks bursting out of its constitution with an ear-rupturing roar, and the sphere's overall power directly skyrocketed.
'A combo,' Noah commented. 'A strong one at that.'
The world moved in slow motion to him at that juncture in those events, and his figure accelerated forward to tank that attack.
He aimed to end the fight as quickly as possible. What better way than to show just how far above them he was?
Noah crashed into the ball of flames and directly dug past its searing surface. His essence rumbled as he felt his skin sustain burns from that joint offense.
Coldness tried to seep out of his figure, but it struggled. He poured a huge amount of his reserves into that event however and watched his silver mist barrel out of his figure to dominate the mana-based attack he had entered.
He was going to turn everything to ice and would do so domineeringly.
It took Noah a few instants and a significant amount of essence, but he ended up flying out of that now-solid mass to sit on its frozen surface.
He had turned the flames and sparks into one huge frozen mass that sat on the charred ground for all to see.
