Chapter 1525 1525. Mouth
Noah wasn't faster than the rank 8 Foolery. His movement technique was excellent, but it didn't have the power to make him surpass magical beasts in the eighth rank.
However, Noah had learnt how to make his ambition focus on specific abilities. His speed could surpass what rank 8 creatures in the lower tier could achieve when his law enhanced his movement technique.
The dragons felt surprised when they saw his figure appearing right above their face. They immediately tried to attack, but Noah exploited their surprise to slash at one of the leaders.
Dark matter flowed out of his figure and Demonic Sword while his blades descended. A fiendish armor formed above his skin while his cultivation level rose.
The dragon barely had the time to open its mouth before a deep cut opened on its forehead. The attack didn't manage to fling it back, but it had the power to pierce its thick scales.
Noah wore a confused expression at that sight. He had tested the power of his ambition long enough to know that the wound didn't reflect the full might of his attack.
Dragons were usually stronger than other beasts, but he had already faced creatures with high defensive capabilities. His slash should have done twice as much damage, but it didn't even manage to reach his opponent's skull.
Noah's eyes fell on the dragon's mouth, but his figure suddenly disappeared when a tail cracked on his position. He reappeared under the dragons, and a second attack flew out of his blades. NovelsToday.com
A large cut opened on the base of his opponent's tail. The attack had almost severed that limb from its body. A roar then followed that event, but the cries of the other beasts suppressed it.
The Foolery and the other beasts in his army crashed on the pack of dragons. The battlefield became chaotic in a matter of instants, but the two rank 8 leaders didn't let that mess distracting them from their actual opponents.
One of the rank 8 dragons remained still and met with the rank 8 Foolery head-on. Instead, the other slowly turned toward Noah while wearing an expression that conveyed pure anger.
Noah's face slightly relaxed at that sight. His second attack had met his expectations and had allowed him to gain some insight into the dragons' innate ability.
'They must be able to absorb the energy contained in my attacks,' Noah concluded in his mind before shooting in the distance.
The injured dragon followed Noah outside of the mountain's range. The creature kept its mouth open and darkened the areas that it crossed. Even the white light of the sky lost against its pulling force.
The cuts on its forehead and tail soon stopped bleeding. Noah felt sure about his hypothesis at that point. He could link the previous odd event to those creatures' innate ability.
'I wonder how it works,' Noah thought before teleporting above the dragon.
The creature quickly stopped its charge, but Noah managed to make his blades descend before the dragon could turn its mouth toward him. An invisible attack fell from his figure, and a large cut opened on the beast's back.
Noah tried to teleport away, but his technique grew unstable and eventually failed, leaving him in the same spot.
Confusion appeared in Noah's eyes. He had mastered the teleports after countless battles. He couldn't commit mistakes after amassing so much experience.
'How could this happen?' Noah thought, but the appearance of a dangerous sensation forced him to focus on the outside world.
Noah flew upward to dodge the incoming tail, but he found himself unable to accelerate properly. Something was draining the energy that seeped out of his figure. Even the dark matter released during his sprints vanished as soon as it came out in the open.
The tail slammed on Noah and flung him away. When he managed to stop, he noticed that the attack had broken his right arm and most of his ribs. His body had managed to withstand the blow only due to the unstable substance that flowed through his black veins.
Noah didn't blame himself. He had been surprised after the failed teleport, but he had understood what was happening now.
The dragon shot after Noah. The creature kept its mouth open as it flew through the sky and absorbed any form of energy on its path.
Noah studied the pulling force coming out of the creature's mouth. Its power wasn't great, but it seemed able to seep inside the very matter of the world.
'The dragon can absorb energy even when my abilities have yet to appear,' Noah concluded in his mind. 'I didn't make a mistake during the teleport. I didn't have enough power at my disposal when I activated the technique.'
Noah's interest increased once he understood how that innate ability worked. The dragon had incredible defensive skills. It could negate techniques as long as it pointed its mouth toward its opponents.
'Will my ambition be enough to kill it?' Noah wondered before covering the area with his flames.
Part of the energy gathered by burning the environment flowed toward the dragon and ended in its mouth. The creature could even weaken Noah's innate ability. There didn't seem to be a limit to what it could absorb.
Noah couldn't wait until the flames healed his body. He seized as much energy as possible before expanding the dark world. Trails of dark matter began to fly toward the dragon, but Noah sacrificed them to activate his teleport.
The dragon crashed inside the dark world. All the dark matter in the technique flowed inside its mouth, but it failed to satisfy the creature.
Noah reappeared above the dragon and transformed. He soon entered his draconic shape, and the Demonic Form didn't hesitate to cover his figure.
Dark matter also gathered on his torso and gave birth to four additional arms. Noah had entered his strongest form. His ambition had even pushed his cultivation level to the peak of the seventh rank.
The dragon turned its head while Noah deployed his techniques. The dark matter in the draconic armor began to flow toward the creature's mouth. Even some roots broke to fly toward the beast.
Noah teleported again and reappeared above the creature's tail. His blade descended, and a second large cut appeared at the base of that limb.
The dragon tried to turn toward Noah, but he disappeared before it could point its mouth at him. He teleported right under its large mouth and launched a piercing attack that stabbed his blades through its scales.
Noah spread the blades, but the creature promptly slammed its head on the ground. Noah couldn't fight against that incredible physical strength, so he teleported to reappear above the tail.
A trace of blackness shot out of his blades and severed every connection between the dragon and the tail. That limb flew in the air, and Noah promptly stored it inside the separate space.
The dragon gave voice to an angry roar, and the pulling force radiated by its mouth intensified. Noah failed to teleport away, and one of the creature's rear legs slammed on his torso.
Noah spat blood while flying through the sky. Two large cuts had appeared on his waist, and a large gray spot had formed on his chest. His internal organs had also suffered some damage, but his flames soon burnt the environment to fix his condition.
