Chapter 1066 1066. Slashes

The Demonic Sword had a flexible structure. It could compress and divide itself according to Noah's needs, but it needed to return solid during specific actions.

Noah couldn't use the Demonic Sword to cultivate when it wasn't in its original form, and he needed it in specific shapes to perform his martial art in the past.

Yet, the Cut had sharpened his individuality and made him find his original expression of his power. A sword could slash in any form, even if it were nothing more than a short knife.

Noah didn't want the Demonic Sword to suffer due to his physical strength, but there wasn't a way around that issue. He could either hold back while performing different slashes or change the living weapon's shape to increase its density.

In the form of a short knife, the Demonic Sword would be able to endure more pressure without affecting its sharpness. Noah only had to change his slashes slightly to tune it with the new length of the weapon.

Second Princess had taken Noah's seriously since the beginning and had used King Elbas' iconic ability to fuel her flames. Instead, First Prince had limited himself to summon lumps of fire that floated around his figure as they waited for his orders.

Noah would typically escape from that situation. He knew that he couldn't win. Even with his many advantages and absurd body, he couldn't deal with two powerhouses and the Royal Academy's formations at the same time.

Moreover, those two cultivators were King Elbas' direct descendants. Noah wouldn't be able to kill them if they had only a fraction of their father's inscribed items.

However, June was still somewhere inside the Academy. Noah didn't know her status, but he wanted to gather the attention on himself for a long as he could anyway.

His body gave him another reason to fight in that situation. The dark star's best functions were on the hands of his subconscious, and Noah could trick it by putting himself in a tough fight.

Fighting against the two powerhouses could force his body to create new techniques or finish the projects he had started since the end of the chrysalis.

The two powerhouses kept on staring at the enlarging corrosive cloud while they waited for their opponent to come out. Even existences on that level couldn't ignore the power of the Demonic Form. They preferred to remain still until Noah made a move rather than jumping into his dangerous lair.

Small golden circles shone on First Prince's fingertips. The Royal tapped them on the air, and flashy signals spread throughout the Royal Academy at his gestures.

The golden light radiated from the ground began to neglect the destroyed buildings and lines in charge of creating knights to fix the sensors quickly.

It seemed that First Prince was in charge of the defensive formations of the Academy. As the clash against Noah became imminent, he prioritized the restoration of the protections that could hinder Noah's most annoying ability.

There was no countermeasure to Noah's sprints in the end. No one on that level was as fast as him. The Royals could predict and react to his movement technique only if the formations helped them out.

A tremor swept the cloud, and the Royals prepared themselves for Noah's attack. Yet, the sensors shone and began to send pieces of information to their minds that made them dodge immediately.

A large part of the sky disappeared. A tall vertical fissure had suddenly appeared on the powerhouses' previous spot, and they could only stare at it in astonishment.

That crack was thirty meters tall and four large. It wasn't the type of damage that the sky could fix quickly. Its size even created consequences in the environment.

A vortex appeared in front of the crack, and the air went into the void. The fact that laws converged on that spot to fix it gave birth to a traction force that led matter into the darkness.

The traction force didn't affect only the air. Broken pieces of the formations, energy, and even part of the golden light ended up dragged inside the void. Noah had been able to create a natural catastrophe with a single slas.h.!.+

The Royals had no words to describe that event. They had spells capable of expressing as much power as Noah, but his sharpness made him far more dangerous for the world's structure.

His sharpness was more effective on material defenses, which made him a troublesome existence to face. They didn't feel surprised about the destruction of the defensive formations anymore after that discovery.

The sensors flickered like crazy while the two Royals retreated in opposite directions, and a golden light suddenly covered First Prince's figure.

A shockwave followed the appearance of that defensive measure. Noah had sprinted behind the powerhouse and delivered a punch, but the golden light absorbed most of the power behind his blow.

"Not so fast, My Lord!" First Prince said as flames spread around his figure and engulfed Noah. The latter wanted to retreat, but he found that he couldn't pull his fist out of the golden light even with his immense physical strength.

The sky became red, and Second Princess launched her fiery snake toward her brother's position to help him with the invader.

First Prince's fire had pushed the corrosive smoke away and dispersed part of Noah's Demonic Form, but it vanished when a cry echoed in the battlefield and a starry sky spread in the area.

Noah roared as he spewed black flames on the Royal's defenses. The fiendish armor reformed completely while the golden light flickered under that offensive. Nevertheless, he still found himself unable to pull his fist back.

The sight of First Prince's arrogant smile and the dangerous sensation coming from Second Princess' snake piled in Noah's mind and made his dark star spin faster.

Noah pointed the small Demonic Sword in his free hand toward the smiling Royal. His aura became an orderly tide that flowed toward the sky as it spread its sharpness in the environment.

The fabric of the sky broke as Noah focused. The dark star forced the activation of the Divine Deduction technique to complete the slash that he needed to break free of that situation.

Noah saw laws replacing the matter in front of him, and the world began to slow down. He started to see the various connections that kept the sky's fabric united, and he instinctively learnt how to break them.

His sharpness was a pure expression of his destruction. His existence could sever matter, fate, and even laws, and the fabric of the sky was only another hindrance on his path.

Noah's free hand moved slowly. He waved the tip of the Demonic Sword, separating laws from each other and creating a small cut in front of him.

The Divine Deduction technique went dark at that point, and his vision became normal again. Yet, the scene that he saw was far different from before.

The attack had cut the golden sphere around the Royal in half, and Noah's slash had severed First Prince's left arm too.
