Chapter 434 434. CREGAR'S AVATAR
Noah spent a few hours on the cliff and it took him a while to eventually decided to leave. By that time the sun had risen already.
He ran most of the way but eventually decided to cut his journey short.
Noah's figure blazed through a wide array of trees, but the streak he generated was cut short when a white light wrapped around him and his figure left that area.
Noah appeared in his cultivation room, but he didn't spend too much time within it, and soon he disappeared from within that space.
The next time he opened his eyes, they fell on a vast crusty-brown region. The wind blew wildly over that place and the intense heat that existed there spoke loudly of why that land area had turned out to lack any vegetative life.
Noah narrowed his eyes to stop the dirt in the air from getting into his eyes, but his instincts buzzed madly and he didn't know when his figure sprinted away from his position.
Shock and confusion filled his mind when he saw that a massive green-blue lightning bolt slammed on that spot with an earth-shaking bang, and everything turned charred, revealing a crater.
His streak stopped kilometers from that point and he felt his heart skip a beat when he understood that the power within that sudden attack had been within the fourth tier.
In the twinkle of an eye, a whole new world seemed to unfold in Noah's eyes when he gained an understanding of the danger around him.
Only at that point did the incredibly troubled wind register to him.
He looked at the horizon and took in a sharp breath.
A huge fire twister existed far in front of him and it crackled with huge bolts of the same color and power that had made a land area of kilometers become a crater.
He couldn't hear much probably due to his distance. But that changed when the ground beneath him suddenly trembled.
His ear drums ruptured, and a wave of dizziness filled his mind.
Noah felt shocked to realize that he would pass out from whatever had washed over him. However, a force held onto him and fended off the power within the roar he had failed to hear due to how quickly it had destroyed his ears.
"By the gods. What are you doing here!" A masculine voice Noah recognized far too well reached his ears, but he was too busy trying to deal with the shaking of his soul realm.
Noah felt his body float without his consent, but he felt safe within it.
Elder Von's figure appeared in front of him, and he immediately noticed the burnt marks on his attire. Holes riddled his robe.
Noah wanted to reply when a green-blue light suddenly overshadowed the sun's radiance around that area. The event was followed by the roaring of the massive bolt heading for them.
Elder Von voiced a curse, and Noah saw his world spin he had to close his eyes to stop himself from falling unconscious.
An explosion reached his ears, however, and he felt his spine tingle at how powerful he imagined that event had been.
"She's gotten stronger!" Elder Von exclaimed, Noah not failing to recognize the shock in his voice.
"You can open your eyes now, young man," the elder assured, and Noah did so.
He found that they had appeared high in the sky allowing them to get a great vantage point of the event occurring.
Realizing that the fire twister was far larger than he thought, Noah wanted to keep his eyes on it, but a figure caught his entire attention.
"What the fuck is that?" he voiced his thoughts unknowingly, while the hair on his body stood.
A huge figure made out of the same crusty brownness of the land surrounding them unfolded in his eyes as he took in its features.
The thing looked humanoid and was just as large as the fire twister. Its arms were huge, Noah confirming that multiple mansions could fit on just one of them. And it possessed four.
Although its body was mainly crusty brown, Noah could sight hundreds of rainbow-colored markings etched into its material and they continued to increase in number, size, and radiance.
On the monsters featureless head was a regal crown of blue flames and green bolts of lightning. The sheer heat and sound that simple construct emitted burnt all traces of air around it.
Its power, however, was very confusing to Noah. It seemed to waver between the third tier and the fourth tier.
"That's Cregar's avatar," Elder Von responded, causing a wave of surprise to fill Noah's mind.
He turned his head to glance at the expert, but a blue radiance suddenly unfolded in the environment. followed by a thunderous roar, and an intense blast of heat.
Noah's focus was once again pulled to the spinning twister of orange-blue flames and green-blue sparks.
His expression widened when he saw that a massive ball of flames emerged out of it. The event felt even more shocking since not only was the ball of flames far larger than the fire twister itself, but its power far outweighed it, touching the fourth tier clearly.
Noah could now properly tell that the twister itself wasn't in the fourth tier since the ball of flames felt purer and immensely powerful.
The ground around the twister had long since turned charred, but things changed when that powerful ball of raging flames revealed itself. The ground for whole kilometers was quite literally turned to ash and the area affected by that heat continued to expand.
"That's a big one!" Elder Von exclaimed, making Noah wonder why he had not rushed forward to do anything. But then four figures flew towards them rapidly.
Till that event, Noah had not noticed the four other tier 4's in the area.
"Who is- ... wow!" A man Noah recognized far too well appeared beside Elder Von.
Noah furrowed his brows when his gaze landed on Dan, one of Elder Sarah's best friends. His confusion even reached its limits when, Anna, her second best friend appeared beside elder Von, and she too shared Dan's surprise. (See cha 276)
"Aiden? What are you doing here?" Delilah's voice reached Noah's ears pulling him out of his confusion.
That simple question seemed to be shared by all the elders but his thoughts were too messy to reply, and also, the ball of flames made an impact with the huge humanoid monster.
Everything shook.
Noah and the others watched the four-armed monster raise its huge arm to grab hold of the attack larger than even its body.
It looked like a man trying to stop the descent of a blazing blue star.
A deep explosion resounded in the area, and its power touched them in the sky.
It was incredible.
Noah watched everything turn blinding white for him, but the elders seemed able to properly see everything going on.
He had to cover his eyes and wait for the event to die down.
Thankfully he didn't have to wait long for that event. And when he opened his eyes, the destruction that had occurred became vaguely clear.
A massive crater had unfolded in the area and its insides were completely on fire, and it continued to burn the earth.
Chaos was too heavily involved that Noah almost couldn't process the events in front of him.
It wasn't that he hadn't witnessed destruction on that scale. He had been the cause of one even larger after all.
But it was something deeper. His existence considered itself unfit to witness battles in that realm. The difference between now and when he fought Gorno, was that he had been in the fourth tier. Now he was back to the pathetic third tier.
The great smoke that filled the sky was quickly dispersed by the experts, and the reality that the four-armed monster had only lost three of its arms appeared in their eyes.
The event caused Noah to frown, and so did the others. At least that was until Dan suddenly shattered the sound barrier, shooting towards the spinning mass of flames mixed with crackling masses of electricity.
"Sarah! Your student, Aiden is here. Are you going to continue this lackluster display!" Dan's voice swept the region, and Noah felt taken aback, but wide smiles appeared on the faces of the elders.
Silence suddenly spread out in the very world itself. As even the humanoid monster seemed taken aback.
However that event didn't last long since a powerful tremor ran through the fabric of the flames, then its power flared, touching the very limits of the third tier, before shattering it, and advancing into the fourth tier.
"Give me a minute. I'll be done with this fucker," Elder Sarah's voice made the air disappear as a result of the heat it was capable of.
