UNLIMITED SPEED

Chapter 225 225. CHAINS



"Forty-seven against one. That's plain shameless!" Noah announced at the slowly swimming experts. However, his words didn't manage to faze them. They were cultivators who had taken part in the unthinkable multiple times in their lives. Eliminating a young man, who could potentially become trouble was well within their moral compasses.

Gritting his teeth at their lack of response, Noah glared at each one of them straight into their eyes shielded by the glass helmet. Seeing that each one of them had stern faces, including stronger experts like Nathaniel, he heaved a sigh.

His instincts informed him of how hard the task he hoped to accomplish was. He was about to engage in battle with over forty middle-staged experts, an unimaginably hard task even for him. That was if he desired to keep his other assets hidden.

'Dammit!' Noah exclaimed inwardly feeling fear creep up his heart. Lady Edna's words about the higher-ups seeing their potential gained a clearer meaning in his mind.

His daggers appeared in his hands as the electrical tendrils around him flared with power stopping their ever so slow approach. Noah resembled a glowing octopus surrounded by humans about to hunt it down.

Several ideas appeared and disappeared inside Noah's mind, but none saw a way out without him utilizing his more powerful skills. Eventually deciding that he would reveal some of his more dangerous assets, Noah picked one of his lightning-based skills and didn't hesitate to cast it.

[Lightning Chains[Active]: When conjured, users' fingers attain the ability to create chains made of Lightning. These chains can stretch as far as the user's mental consciousness.

Costs: 500SE, Duration 20 minutes, Cool-down: 1 hour]

Noah's hands immediately shone with a runic magical circle really small in size at the activation of that skill. Surprisingly loud crackling sounds exited his palms, alerting the individuals around him.

Soon strands of dense electrical energy materialized out of the circle to wrap around his fingers, thereby clothing them in a glove of erratic energy.

Knowledge on how best to utilize that skill trickled into his mind, as Noah felt like he had been born with that skill, knowing its ins and outs.

Seeing that their opponent had prepared something that felt dangerous to them, the surrounding experts quickly moved against him. Mana poured out of their cores as they fueled whatever technique they planned to unleash on him.

Multicolored lights quickly sprung up in the environment as multiple spells based on different elements barreled towards Noah's radiant figure.

The spells crossed the distance between their casters and Noah in mere instants, as the cultivators wished to end Noah in one go.

Unfortunately for them, Noah wouldn't stay still to let that happen.

Kicking the water below him, Noah casually shot out of that area to arrive at a position a few hundred meters above his opponents. Immediately spotting a moment of weakness on all their sides Noah attacked when the spells collided into an explosion of incredible proportions. And Noah's armors saw chunks of its material vanishing for being too close to the explosion.

The space of five hundred meters sizzled as waves of erratic water fled away from that spot. A blinding blue light shone in the environment immediately after the spells collided, but Noah's attack shot forward toward the fleeing experts.

The pond seemed to quake at the power of literally more than thirty middle-staged experts.

Amid that chaos, a shower of more than one hundred objects deep-yellow in color and every single shower in the intricate form of chains barreled downward from above the unsuspecting experts.

Noah manipulated the movements of the chains with his mind, and immediately after they arrived on someone's solid figure, he tightened his grip.

In less than a second, Noah caught seventeen experts with his chains of doom. However, before the experts could do anything about their bondage, an intense surge of erratic electrical energy traveled down the chains to arrive on their bodies.

The experts held by Noah's spell seemed to explode into a bright deep-yellow light, as screams of agony escaped their mouths, but they were teleported out of the pond a second later. The damage dealt by Noah's chains had been too severe, leaving them in a state of near-death before even the ejection could take place.

Silence prevailed in that area for a second or two, as everyone still present struggled to understand what just happened, even Noah.

"Fuck!!" Noah exclaimed in utter shock and excitement. The effects of the chain's abilities had been outrageous even for him. Although the flashy attack on the experts had cost him exactly 1300SE, Noah considered it more than worth it.

'I just took out multiple middle-staged cultivators at once,' he affirmed locking his mental gaze on the remaining experts.

Needless to say, the aspirants felt his presence and some tried to activate the "Finish' function of their armbands, however deep-yellow chains of crackling energy wrapped around them in the blink of an eye, all 6 of them, and before they knew it they suffered the same barrage of immense amounts of electrical energy wielding blinding power.

This was all Noah could do before the remaining experts activated their various armors. Another three individuals activated the "Finish" function before Noah could do attack again. And he felt furious about it.

Somewhere within him, he had decided that no one would witness his power and escape.

More than fifty balls of searing flames shot towards his now known position, closely followed by bolts of lightning, more than one hundred.

Noah spotted the three lightning affinity holders in that water, but they were already swimming out of the range of his consciousness.

'As expected them. They've already figured out how I'm able to attack them so fast.,' Noah thought, recalling the chains back to his figure.

With his armor still on, he concluded that he wouldn't be fast enough to escape the attacks unless he burnt large amounts of energy, which he wasn't ready to do.

Clenching his fists, Noah caused the Lightning Chains to wrap around his figure multiple times, creating multiple layers of crackling defenses.

The fireballs and bolts of lightning almost immediately arrived on his blinding figure now covered with chains of electrical energy.

The explosion from the collision of incredibly powerful spells able to wipe out large towns was so big that the escaping experts suffered injuries, and they were already a few 9 kilometers from his position.

But it was expected, they were experts approaching the realm of tier 4, where one serious attack could wipe out whole cities.

The pond rumbled with terrifying power, and a blinding white light shone in the position the spells collided. The water in that area boiled and vanished so fast that a distance of 100 meters was left empty for a whole second. But to their astonishment, Noah's presence was revealed after the effects of the attack died down.

He was alive, but not complete.
