Chapter 422 - Two Gods, Two ideals

Outside the kitchen, Noah was fighting all the armored figures by himself. Regardless of their number, they couldn't get the upper hand in the fight. Noah's spells were so powerful. However, Noah did not kill any of them. He just incapacitated them as his mentor taught him. While fighting the armored figures, Noah noticed the interruption in the rain of arrows.

"Light Blade" Noah cast the spell without chanting. A long sword sparkling materialized in his hand. The armored figure surrounded Noah. Some of them had swords, some had spears, and some cast a spell that turned their fists into fire fists.

Diana's heartbeat was getting faster by the second. Looking at Noah facing all the unknown figures by himself made her uneasy. No one could tell which cultivation stage the armored figures or Noah was at.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Noah swung his light blade at the three figures dashing towards him. The figures with fiery fists shot fireballs. Nearly twenty scorching hot fireballs flew towards Noah.

The figures were fast but Noah was faster. He safely evaded their swords and counterattacked. The light sword in Noah's hand clashed with their metal swords, creating sparks of fire.

Diana and Ethan looked in the direction of the kitchen. They were nervously expecting Ghost to come out of the kitchen. They did not know what happened inside the kitchen.

"Puriferous"

"Expinio"

"Recta"

"Exterminiatis"

After Noah knocked out the three armored figures, those who were behind them immediately cast spells.

Ethan and Diana were stunned after they heard the spell casting. Ethan looked at Diana with a terrified look on his face. Diana's face was pale with shock and terror.

The spells they cast conjured various objects such as a dragon head made of fiery red energy, rotating chakra, and thorns that came out from the ground beneath Noah. The thorns tried to coil around Noah's legs but he cut the thorns like butter using his light sword. A hot stream of scorching hot fire was shot from the dragon's head. It burned the marble ground beneath to ashes as it shot towards Noah.

"Noah!"

Ethan, Diana, Xanali, and Alicia all shouted in unison.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

"ARGH!"

Boom!

Noah let out a battle cry and swung the light blade at the stream of fire approaching him, splitting the fire in halves.

The translucent light bubble around Noah flickered after the chakra hit the bubble. The force of Noah's sword-swinging split the ground open. One of the armored figures fell into the crack. When he tried to get out, Noah flicked his wrist, forming a light spear in his hand.

He threw the light spear at the figure. The light spear stabbed the figure through the shoulder, pinning him to the ground.

Noah started to breathe heavily as he could count twenty people surrounding him. In addition, he sensed more figures flying above the building.

"Teacher" Noah called his teacher in his mind,

"They can't keep the void spell for no longer than ten minutes, Noah. Five minutes more and all the cultivators here would get their arch energy back"

Andreas's voice reassured Noah. Noah wiped off the blood dripping down the corner of his mouth.

Noah closed his eyes as the translucent bubble became brighter once again.

"I...I don't know" for the first time, Noah heard his teacher stutter without having an answer.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 10000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 5000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 4000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 6000 badass points]

....

The sound of notifications kept ringing in his head like crazy. He completely ignored them. When a rapidly increasing amount of badass points could not put a smile on his face, one should know someone was about to get slaughtered mercilessly.

Diana's jaw slightly opened as the images of the Dark Lord she saw in the future flashed across her eyes. Those who surrounded Noah dashed at him despite failing again and again to kill him. They seemed to be oblivious to Michael's existence.

Michael slowly raised his sword as the golden lightning bolts coiling around the sword became brighter and brighter. In the next second, a thick bolt of lightning shot out of the end of the sword.

Boom!

The armored figure which got hit by the lightning bolt exploded into a red mist. A Core Formation level 3 cultivator stood no chance against Michael.

The rest of the armored figures finally noticed Michael. They stopped attacking Noah and turned their gazes at Ghost.

Noah could have easily overpowered the armored figures if he went for the kill. Instead, Noah focused on incapacitating them. Otherwise, Noah would have ended the battle long ago.

"Kill them, kill them all!" Claire shouted. For the first time in her life, she encouraged someone to take lives.

"No, don't!" Peyton and Xanali screamed from the other end.

The armored figures momentarily stopped attacking as though they were interested in the conversation. Something about them rubbed both Noah and Michael in the wrong way. They were acting more and more like puppets who were being controlled by someone or something else.

"Diddle diddle" the cold words escaped Michael's mouth,

"You are so..." he slowly stepped towards the armored figures without an expression on his face. There were two armored figures in front of him. One was standing with a fiery fist while the other one was pinned to the ground by Noah's light sword.

"Etheri-"

The one who was standing tried to cast a spell,

Pulch!

His chanting was abruptly stopped by a sword through his throat.

Zzzzhhhhhrrrrr!

The electric bolts slid through the sword to the armored figure. The figure's body violently squirmed as smoke began to come out from the inside and out. The lightning bolts turned his body into a pile of half-burned mess within a few minutes.

"Ignitia" Michael turned his sword to the armored figure who was standing a couple of meters away from him. The lightning bolt shot out from the sword soared through the sky,

"Light beam"

At the same time, Noah raised his light sword as a beam of light shot out from the end of the light sword.

Boom!

The light beam hit the lightning bolt before it could reach the target. When they both clashed, a mini-explosion knocked everyone around them to the ground. Their eyes were locked on each other.
