Chapter 1273 Noah’s Great n


    Unknown to both Noah and even Michael, Vedora wasn''t just any hydra but one of royal lineage. His ancestors served the queen on their home for generations, safeguarding their legacy. The egg from which Vedora hatched was meant to be protected within the Crypt, destined to be guided by Mugashuku. However, circumstances and a rift between Mugashuku and the Queen meant Vedora was kept hidden from his intended mentor.


    Had the younger Vedora, who apanied Michael, been aware of this revtion, they would have disyed a tumult of emotions. But the Vedora engaged inbat with Mugashukucked a soul or any semnce of intelligence, driven solely by a killing instinct. Mugashuku''s heartfelt words, therefore, went unheard by Vedora.


    "One who betrays my kind doesn''t deserve life," growled one of Mugashuku''s heads, unable to ept the sight of his kin being used as weapons even in death.


    In response, Vedora, devoid of any understanding of Mugashuku''s words, propelled itself forward with a mighty p of its wings. Ayag''s head unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts, while Sarba emitted a devastating sonic wave. The force of the attack caused the ground to crack open further, swallowing many of Noah''s soldiers.


    "HELP!"


    "Save me!"


    Cries for help echoed as soldiers fell into the dark abyss below. Noah, amidst his efforts to salvage what remained of his army, felt a pang of despair at their loss.


    Meanwhile, Eve, fueled by her disdain for Skyhall, did not relent in pursuing the angels. Her determination only intensified as she leveraged the chaotic battlefield to her advantage, showing no intention of slowing down, even after killing the leader of the angels.


    "Lady Eve, you''ve got to bail. This is spiraling out of control," Azazel''s voice came through to Eve as she sent another angel spinning through the air with a forceful blow from her hammer.


    "I''m not leaving till these bastards pay for their sins," Eve thundered back, her resolve unshaken. Thisnd, now marred by conflict, was once a flourishing vige, owing its prosperity to a ndestine pact with Eve. The vige elder pledged allegiance to her in secrecy, bringing under its fold the Dark Lord''s blessings. In return, Eve and her allies showered the vige with guidance and resources neglected by the Kethen monarchy, turning the vige into a beacon of prosperity.


    Yet, the vige''s fortune turned to ashes when a Skyhall spy unveiled the elder''s allegiance. With loyalty to the Dark Lord deemed treachery across allnds but Awor, Skyhall dispatched its angels to obliterate the vige in a so-called ''purification'' raid. By the time Eve arrived, all that remained were the charred remains of once lively homes and the elder''s pyre. Innocents, oblivious to the elder''s dealings, faced the angels'' wrath, chased away from their incinerated homes.


    "They don''t deserve to live!" Eve bellowed once more, throwing herself at the angels with unrestrained fury. Stripped of their powers by Mugashuku''s void effect, the angels were left defenseless, their ability to cast spells nullified, facing the wrath of a vengeance-fueled Eve Voldiguard. Her hammer struck with devastating force, crushing the chest of another angel, his ribs shattering under the impact as he copsed, coughing up blood.


    "Fucking bitch," the fallen angel growled through gritted teeth.


    "SUPREME GUARDIAN!" Just as Noah was about to sprint towards Eve to halt her rampage—realizing he was perhaps the only one who could—his attention was abruptly seized by a cry for help. Whirling around, he witnessed several of his soldiers desperately clinging to the edges of an ever-expanding crevice in the ground. The choice was immediate and harrowing: save his men or stop Eve.


    Noah''s sense of duty to his men overshadowed his desire to save the angels, particrly in light of their recent actions in the vige. He was aware of the elder''s allegiance to the Dark Lord, yet he had turned a blind eye, valuing the prosperity it brought to the vige over his personal vendetta against the Dark Lord.


    "HELP US, SUPREME GUARDIAN!" another voice screamed across the battlefield,den with terror.


    Without hesitation, Noah surged towards the crack, his movements swift and decisive. He grasped a young soldier''s hand, anchoring himself firmly at the edge of the fissure. With a mighty roar, Noah exerted his strength, his muscles straining visibly as he fought to close the menacing gap.


    "ARGGHH!" His roar, filled with exertion and desperation, cut through the chaos of the storm and the hydra''s battle cries, as Noah''s biceps bulged and veins throbbed in his neck, holding the earth together against the forces tearing it apart.


    "Holy shit!"


    "How fucking strong is he!"


    A couple of soldiers were stupefied as they watched, frozen in awe. Meanwhile, some of the generals barked orders at their men, reigniting their courage amidst the chaos.


    "Help the Supreme Guardian and our men!" one general bellowed.


    Promptly, many soldiers who had been standing on the safer side of the crack dashed towards their strugglingrades. Together, they began to haul the endangered soldiers up, pulling them away from the gaping maw of the earth.


    Meanwhile, the colossal battle between Vedora and Mugashuku raged on, turning the sky into an arena of ancient titans. Their massive heads coiled and struck with ferocious speed, each blow resonating like thunderps. Lightning crackled from Ayag''s mouth, illuminating their titanic forms in the darkened sky, while Mugashuku''s heads spewed crimson mes, painting the clouds with fiery streaks.


    On the ground, the earth shuddered with each of their collisions, sending shockwaves that tore through thendscape, creating fissures and upturning the terrain. Soldiers screamed and cursed as they scrambled to maintain their footing amidst the chaos.


    "Damn it, watch out!" shouted a soldier as a nearby tree was uprooted by the force of the hydras'' battle, crashing down near their formation.


    Eve, fully drowned in her own fiercebat, swung her hammer with lethal precision, each hitnding with the weight of her fury. Her eyes zed with vengeance as she faced the angels, her hammer crackling with lightning energy.


    "Come on, you winged fuckers, is that all you''ve got?" Eve taunted, her voice echoing over the mor of battle.


    The angels, stripped of their cultivation, relied on theirbat training and the razor-sharp metallic wings attached to their armor. One of them swooped down, aiming to sh at Eve with his winged edges.


    Eve dodged the strike, her movements fluid and deadly. She countered with a swing of her hammer, connecting with the angel''s side and sending him crashing into a pile of debris.


    "You''re going to need more than wings to take me down, asshole!" Eve growled, her gaze scanning for her next target.


    Another angel charged at her, his weapon raised high. Eve met his charge head-on, blocking his strike with the shaft of her hammer and then delivering a brutal knee to his abdomen. As the angel doubled over, Eve grabbed his head and brought it down onto her rising knee, a sickening crunch sounding upon impact.


    Blood and cries of pain filled the air as Eve continued her relentless assault. Each of her attacks was a disy of raw brutality, her strength andbat skills honed from fighting and training under the Dark Lord.


    Despite their numerical advantage, the angels were outmatched by Eve''s ferocity. Their strategic formations crumbled under her onught, and their attempts to wound her often met with her ruthless counterattacks.


    Suddenly, a massive lightning bolt from Ayag''s head struck the ground near Eve and the angels, the explosive impact sending them hurtling through the air. Eve crashed near Noah, teetering on the edge of a massive crack that had opened in the ground. Just in time, Noah reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back from the precipice.


    "We need to work together, or we won''t have a world to fight for," Noah said urgently, locking eyes with Eve.


    "I''m not about to team up with you, Noah," Eve snickered, wiping blood from her mouth. "It doesn''t matter who you serve right now, Eve! If we don''t stop those hydras, we''re all dead, and your Dark Lord will have no world to rule!" Noah, frustration and urgency mixing in his voice, growled. Eve hesitated, her eyes flickering between the hydras wreaking havoc in the sky and Noah''s strained face. The gravity of the situation sunk in, and with a reluctant nod, she grabbed the opposite edge of the crevice. Together, they roared, pulling with all their might, as the gap slowly began to close.


    As the ground beneath them started to stabilize, more and more soldiers, fueled by the sight of their Supreme Guardian and the notorious Eve working together, found the strength to scramble up and escape from the widening chasm.


    After narrowly avoiding disaster, Noah and Eve stood together amidst the wreckage of the battlefield. Eve, with a growl, eyed the angels making their escape into the storm but then took in the extensive destruction around them, realizing there were more pressing matters than chasing the fleeing angel and killing them.


    "We can''t kill them, but maybe we can drive them away," Noah proposed, eyeing the battling behemoths in the sky.


    "Good luck trying to reason with those pissed off titans. You''re out of your mind if you think that''ll work." Eve snorted dismissively,


    "Got any better ideas, Eve? Because right now, I''m willing to try anything," Noah met her skepticism with a wry smile. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Eve remained silent for a moment, her gaze shifting between the battling hydras in the sky. "If you''re dead set on negotiating, aim for Mugashuku. That abomination," she pointed towards Vedora, cks both soul and sense."


    At that moment, a general, bleeding and caked with mud, staggered towards Noah, voicing his disbelief. "Supreme Guardian, you can''t seriously be considering negotiation. How do you even n to reach them? We''ve lost our ability to fly or cast spells."


    Noah responded with a shake of his head, producing a shard of glowing arch energy crystal from his robes. Eve, recognizing the crystal as originating from Stormville Mountain – a ce under their domain,


    "You son of a bitch,"Eve''s eyes red with anger and disbelief as she said.
