Chapter 446 - Even if its you!
Noah"s main body was sparring with Athena in one of the huge training halls while his clone continued the Dual Cultivation of the Laws of Fire and Water, the unique energy pa.s.sing through his two bodies continuing to strengthen him.
BOOM!
The golden floating hammers around him stopped the strikes of the War Princess that was clad in an empyrean armor, her own hammers that she held in her hands striking the ones floating around Noah away as she tried to land attacks on him. But every time she neared, they stood in her way, and this situation was made even worse as five enormous blades of liberation were on standby to strike towards her anytime she left a gap in her defenses.
Noah himself was floating in the skies as he glanced at this sight, a smug smile on his face as Athena"s sharp eyes found him.
"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me, Junior Brother?"
The frustrated Athena called out as her body began to s.h.i.+ne gold with numerous fate lines erupting out, the essence of fate beginning to s.h.i.+ne brilliantly around her as she sprung forth like a cannon towards Noah.
BOOM!
With every swipe of her hammers, powerful fate essence erupted out, this ability being something that only those pa.s.sing the 100,000 Fate Lines milestone could use. The strikes filled with fate essence smashed back the three floating hammers around Noah as Athena closed in, her gaze filled with bloodl.u.s.t as she spoke.
"Very soon, you will be facing Special Existances that have been in the Domain Expansion Realm far longer than you have!"
BOOM!
Her flurry of attacks swiped away all the three hammers, being thrown away a great distance as Athena"s curvaceous body weaved through the glistening edges of the blades of liberation and neared Noah, her two hammers landing on the huge tower s.h.i.+eld that he raised up.
DONG!
Golden light erupted out as Noah was pushed back, yet fully protected as not a single bit of damage got through to him. He raised his tower s.h.i.+eld as he glanced at the huffing War Princes and spoke with a smile.
"If I can handle your attacks this easily Senior Sister, I think I"ll be just fine."
"Oh? Let"s really put that to the test!"
A provocative light bloomed in Athena"s eyes as he pointed her hammers forward and called out- [Judgment]!
OOONG!
Numerous large spears formed around Noah, his figure at the very center becoming serious as the tower s.h.i.+eld in his left hand was raised, his golden flail in his right hand already moving to deflect a dangerous golden spear that already rushed from his right side.
DONG!
His body s.h.i.+mmered with a brilliant l.u.s.ter as he moved his body to dodge the onslaught of a powerful skill, his s.h.i.+eld blocking many of them as they sent shockwaves through his body, his flail directed towards any others as he rapidly knocked them away and dodged.
In the middle of all this, Athena appeared in the skies as she pointed down, a huge Blade of Liberation descending under her command as it went on to "overwhelm" the surrounded Noah and smash him towards the ground!
BOOM!
His body acted like a sh.e.l.l as it made a dent into the floor, the Senior Sister finally reigning some light in her eyes as she looked down with concern, only to find her junior brother protected like a turtle behind his golden tower s.h.i.+eld, his head peeking out with a smile.
"Hmph, and that was me going easy on you. The Special Existences we are up against are on an entire league entirely, with some of them even being proficient in multiple Supreme Laws."
She went down towards her junior brother as she helped him up, pus.h.i.+ng his roughed up hair away to the side as she looked directly at his eyes in a teaching manner.
"You may be able to block my attacks, but your enemies will have been in the Domain Expansion Realm Longer than you and have more experience, with the most obvious choice for them being to just attack you until you run out of energy, all of these defensive skills you have around you being rendered useless."
Noah"s eyes locked against this War Princess as he nodded with a smile, his face moving forward to quickly sneak in a kiss as a surprised Senior Sister sprang backwards with an admonis.h.i.+ng expression on her face.
"Stay focused!"
Athena said this as she looked around the training room and spread out her senses to see if there was anyone watching, her slightly angered gaze landing back on Noah who was wiping the dust off his body while speaking with a calm expression like nothing ever happened.
"What if I meet you in one of the matches, my dear Senior Sister?"
The question caused a serious expression to appear on Athena"s face, her gaze locking with Noah as she replied with conviction.
"I would go all out. The treasures given to the winner of these upcoming battles are enough to create a powerhouse- meaning whoever takes the t.i.tle will most likely be the first one to enter the World Realm!"
Yes! The treasures that the Celestials had collected were many over the years, especially the really unique ones that were so potent in their unique essence that they allowed beings to quickly break through a rank!
Just the [Luminescent Rainbow Dew] mentioned by the Grandmaster was enough to send any knowledgeable Celestials crazy.
"I still seek to understand exactly what my fate is in this chaotic universe, I will stop at nothing to achieve that goal. That does not change, even if it is you that is standing against me, Junior Brother."
The gaze of the War Princess was filled with conviction as she finished, Noah looking at this with a hidden smile as he nodded, an imperceptible red light crossing through his eyes that reflected on Athena"s eyes as well!
"Very well. Let"s continue the spar, Senior Sister. I won"t be going easy on you this time."
"Hmph, come!"
RUMBLE!
