<h4>Chapter 1447 1447. Question</h4>


    Noah transformed into a ck de thatunched dark matter to perform an evasive maneuver. ck mes also filled the environment as he flew to escape Charles’ sight.


    The mes healed his body, but the sense of weakness that had begun to permeate his mind became more intense. His bloodlust also intensified. His consciousness was slowly slipping away due to the drawbacks of the cursed sword.


    "Disappointing," Charles said as he waved his sword toward the escaping Noah.


    A wave of sharpness flew through the environment. The attack destroyed every nt on its path and turned into ash the superficial part of the ground as it reached Noah.


    Noah felt forced to stop and sh toward the wall of sharpness that was about to fall on him. His Demonic Sword left the cursed sword and reformed in his left hand before the two des released a thick dark-red sh.


    The sh pierced the wall of sharpness and allowed Noah to pass through the attack. Yet, a deep cut opened on his chest and forced him to rely on his mes to heal his injuries.


    Charles had stopped ying around. His de danced in the air andunched a series of small curved shes that flew on different trajectories as they converged toward Noah.


    Noah couldn’t avoid that attack. He lifted his des above his head and shed toward the curved blows when they were about to converge. The two abilities gave birth to an explosion when they shed, and tiny shards of chaotic sharpness flew through the environment after the impact.


    A vertical wound appeared on Noah’s torso. The weakness that had filled his mind intensified even if he spat more mes to heal his injuries.


    Noah felt that his mind was slipping away. The bloodlust was taking over his thoughts. A part of him already desired to charge recklessly toward Charles.


    Noah hadunched only four attacks with the cursed sword, but his condition had already deteriorated. His new de’s drawbacks were too severe, but that weapon was the only reason he was still alive.


    Charles’ attacks were too powerful. Noah could block them only when he used the cursed sword, but that brought him closer to an insane state. Even his body had begun to show signs of instability. Healing it wasn’t enough to disperse the drawbacks of the bloodlust.


    Noah took the pills gained in Supreme Thief’s inheritance and stuffed them in his mouth. One of them wasn’t enough for his body. He had to eat all of them to feel their effects.


    His body regained some stability after the dark world purified those drugs and redirected their energy toward his tissues. Noah even regained some rity, but Charles didn’t give him time to recover.


    Charles shed again and forced Noah to answer with another attack. Two huge ck and dark-red lines flew toward the iing white curved cut and created another explosion. Noah fended off Charles’ blow, but his body paid the price for that feat.


    Arge wound opened on his chest and spread until it reached his right foot. A waterfall of blood flowed out of the injury, and Noah spat mes to heal it. However, the fire didn’t return to him. There was nothing left to burn in the area.


    "It’s over," Charles said as he raised his sword, but Noah quickly ced both des on his forehead.


    His consciousness expanded and carried his bloodlust in the environment. Noah’s sharpness intensified, and massive cuts began to open in the whole area.


    Each cut gave birth to more shes. That piece of the sky fell into chaos as Noah’s sharpness created an endless stream of attacks that forced Charles into a defensive position.


    Charles waved his sword madly. He wore a stern expression as he replied to every sh that flew in his direction. To his surprise, some of those attacks managed to pierce his sharpness andnd on his robe.


    Noah didn’t hesitate to fuse the two swords again and perform another lunge. Snore and Night also appeared behind him and attacked the expert, deploying the full-power of their innate abilities.


    The thin ck line flew together with a shadow and a ck beam made of violent dark matter. Noah’s sharpness didn’t affect the attacks, so they soonnded on Charles’ body.


    A cloud formed a vanished as the sh between the different individualities severed everything in the area. Night managed to fuse with Charles’ robe before that spot fell intoplete chaos, and those inscribed clothes eventually crumbled under the might of Noah’s endless cuts.


    The lunge pierced Charles’ sharpness andnded directly on his body. The expert almost didn’t believe his eyes when he saw the thin ck line creating arge hole on the right side of his waist.


    Noah had managed to hurt him. He had managed to surpass his sharpness, de, and robe. Even if he was only a liquid stage hybrid, Noah had showed the potential to fight against a cultivator far stronger than him.


    The drawbacks of thest two attacks brought Noah to the brink of madness. His body became a mess of maimed skin and exposed organs. Blood never stopped flowing from his injuries, and his mind began to ask him to give in to his instincts.


    Noah knew that he had reached his limit. His body and mind would crumble if heunched another attack. He fell on his knees and gasped for air as he supported himself on the two swords.


    That was the end of his immense effort. Noah didn’t even feel able to perform his movement technique to escape. The seven attacks with the cursed sword had drained him. His endless cuts were hisst hope now.


    Charles struggled to fend off Noah’s sharpness. The endless cuts were a technique founded on Noah’s ambition. That was the secret behind their relentless assault.


    The cuts eventually reached Charles’ body. The expert didn’t know what to do when injuries opened on his skin. Nothing he did seemed able to stop Noah’s technique.


    Charles’ de began to shine at that point. An immense amount of his sharpness flowed inside his sword that released it in a single explosion. Every trace of Noah’s attack vanished after that blow, and the endless technique finally stopped creating more cuts.


    The explosion of sharpness flung Noah and thepanions away. He never lost control of his connection to the Shadow Domain, but he was struggling to remain focused on his body.


    His mind was weak and his tissues unstable. His ck hole was doing its best to keep him together, but Noah was suffering more than what that organ could fix.


    Charles didn’t know what to say. Many injuries had appeared on his body, and the hole on his way proved that Noah could potentially kill him at his current level.


    That realization made Charles’ expression even more severe. He suddenly felt lucky that he had found Noah when he was in the liquid stage. Charles didn’t dare to imagine what might Noah would wield if he reached the superior stage.


    Charles pointed his de toward the crouched Noah before retracting his weapon. He was preparing a lunge to finish that battle, but a shadownded near Noah at that point.


    Noah was desperate to find a way out of that situation, but his tricks were over. The Shadow Domain still required some time, and he had no way of gaining it.


    A shadow suddenly crashed on the ground near him. After a sh with his opponent, King Elbas had fallen there, but no injury had appeared on his body. He seemed fine, but he wore a severe expression.


    Noah had an idea when he saw him. His mind was on the verge of slipping away, but his ck hole was keeping him sane and forcing his organs to work properly even if injuries filled them.


    "Elbas, how is your alchemy?" Noah asked.


    King Elbas nced at him before replying with his usual arrogant tone. "The best, of course."


    "How can you fuse primary energy, "Breath", higher energy, and mental energy to create something stronger than any of them?" Noah quickly asked.


    "By fusing them? Impossible," King Elbas exined. "The higher energy will always carry more power. However, you can create an unstable product to obtain a great surge of energy for a short amount of time."
