Chapter 382: How Could I Let You Run?
🕑 Added 2025-09-18 02:33:51 +0000 UTC"Taking advantage of a fire to loot!"
After feeling the difference in the power of these Isu, Noah's internal resolve became even firmer! Noah had originally planned to thoroughly explore her memories for any other gains before ultimately eliminating this woman's soul. Of course, if it was too troublesome, Noah wouldn't waste his time. Noah was someone who disliked trouble. To avoid greater trouble, Noah would be willing to utterly annihilate her, making her soul scatter, but now Noah felt that this woman's value was terrifyingly immense. As a mage, the pursuit of unknown knowledge is truly terrifying; otherwise, mages wouldn't be called madmen. Noah wasn't interested in many things;
acquiring unknown knowledge was a minor interest, but acquiring unknown knowledge about power was his greatest interest.
Without any superfluous communication, Noah's elemental magic and Juno's power clashed again, and the violent impact directly shattered the entire valley! At this moment, Noah didn't have time to bother with Desmond and the others; his only enemy was the Isu in front of him.
"Damn it!" Loki saw the situation and naturally knew that he probably couldn't help at all'though he had no intention of helping anyway. But this couldn't suppress his inner envy. Loki was now truly starting to doubt his life. How powerful was this Noah guy? How terrifying was Earth? Why was even a creature sealed for thousands of years so formidable? Loki knew his father was also very interested in Earth's First Civilization, otherwise he wouldn't have brought back the scattered Isu artifacts after they left. But this only proved the Isu's technological means and craftsmanship were good; Loki truly hadn't expected the Isu's combat power to be so terrifying.
Sighing helplessly, looking at the two constantly intertwining streaks of light, Loki decided to keep his distance for now. This battle was truly beyond his intervention. Loki could tell that neither side was probably using their full strength. Especially Noah; he hadn't used his full power at all, because Noah had only used some of his basic magic so far, and his so-called 'domain' magic hadn't been used yet. According to his memory, Loki casually blasted open a rock; their way in had already collapsed, so Loki could only rely on this method to escape.
On the other side, Desmond and the others were injured by the shockwaves caused by Noah and Juno's clash, but they weren't dead. To be honest, they were now personally experiencing the true power of these mages, which was far more intuitive than watching the Battle of New York on TV or the internet!
Seeing the two intertwining figures fighting fiercely, and the precarious state of the cave, Desmond immediately made a decision: to quickly follow that strange mage and leave this place!
Noah had no idea that Loki would inexplicably save Desmond's assassin team like this, but even if he did, there would be nothing to say, because Loki saving them was merely an accident. Noah was currently dealing with Juno's attack. It had to be said that the power Juno wielded truly opened Noah's eyes. The power generated by that pure golden orb was truly terrifying, and this golden power was unusually close to the power of nature.
This unique Isu magic truly captivated Noah, and Noah was also certain that if he learned it, it would be extremely beneficial to him. One must remember that Noah excelled at elemental magic, and these elements were, fundamentally, natural elements. The power used by the Isu was the power of nature. Noah increasingly felt that if he could learn these things, it would have unimaginable benefits for his understanding of elemental magic.
"Boom!" With a loud crash, the cave, even though it was once an Isu temple, couldn't withstand the magical burst of Noah and Juno after enduring the erosion of time and lacking any other protection! The cave collapsed, and the entire valley seemed to experience a terrible earthquake!
Fortunately, this area was a wilderness, so Noah didn't pay attention to these things. He stared intently at Juno, whose body was covered in golden runes. At this moment, Juno seemed to be fighting with her life. Her hands were forming strange golden runes, and her eyes had turned faint gold. At this moment, Juno looked extraordinarily
divine, and her aura became even more terrifying.
"It seems I can't drag this out any longer. This woman
seems to be burning her soul to restore her power?" Noah frowned. This was not good news. Although doing so came at a high cost for her"even if she didn't die, her strength would drop a stage. But in this situation, her choice was clearly correct. And Noah wasn't Poseidon, the guy with the trident. Poseidon could easily subdue both Juno and Aita by himself, but Noah couldn't. Even if he were to face Alexios or Kassandra, Noah might not be superior, not to mention both of them were sent flying by a single spell when they faced Juno.
"System, activate the domain. Let's end this quickly."
"Understood." As the system's mechanical voice fell,
Noah's entire body was instantly enveloped in a golden glow. Black runes slowly emerged and rapidly spun around Noah, and a torrent of magic surged around him! This torrent spun faster and faster, and in an instant, something new seemed to cover Noah, and Noah himself appeared exceptionally unique. Everything seemed to quiet down; Noah's magical fluctuations disappeared, and the massive torrent seemed to vanish, as if everything had stopped.
But this caused Juno to feel an immediate sense of unease. This eerie silence made her feel something spreading within her heart, and the name of that thing was fear! Juno swallowed unnaturally. Her expression, though still somewhat arrogant and grim, involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Who exactly are you?" Noah said nothing. He simply looked at Juno with a faint gaze, and instantly, Juno felt immense pressure! Noah's perfectly fitted black robe moved without a breeze, gently swaying as if by a light gust, gradually rustling violently as if in a raging storm.
"This... this is?" As the wind blew around Juno, she suddenly felt a completely different sensation! She seemed unable to perceive the power of nature, and she even felt as if she had entered another world. Even the golden runes on her body began to dim! As Juno pondered, the fierce wind stopped, turning back into a gentle breeze. But this wisp of clear wind seemed to have suddenly gained life.
Like a fallen leaf, it slowly rose from the ground, leaped into the air, and, pulled by an invisible force, like an invisible butterfly, hovered and danced around Noah. Perhaps summoned by its companions, wisps of clear wind followed closely, transforming into butterflies, flying into the air without hesitation, forming an invisible, winding serpent ascending.
Noah's expression remained unchanged, only a chilling coldness that made one's heart palpitate. The invisible wisps of clear wind also began to gain color; faint green appeared on their bodies. This color was full of the breath of life, but in Juno's eyes, this thing was the most fatal magic, and Noah's calm gaze seemed able to freeze souls! At this, Juno panicked.
Although she was a soul body, to exert even a fraction of her power in this battle, she had gathered her strength into a physical form! It was imaginable that if her 'physical form' were harmed, the blow to her would be unimaginable! But if she didn't do this, facing these disgusting ordinary humans as a soul, she was very worried about being sealed, knowing that sealing already existed in their era!
"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Why can't I feel the power of nature? What is this place? Why do all the abilities I can perceive belong to him?!" Juno was internally hysterical. She couldn't do anything now; even the body she had condensed with power seemed unable to sustain itself!
And at this moment, Noah's magic was directly activated. This seemingly long-prepared spell was actually completed in an instant by Noah's thought. The terrifying clear wind gathered into a long serpent, emitting a desperate hiss, and instantly tore Juno into pieces when she had no resistance whatsoever!
A desperate, hoarse sound echoed through the sky, but it abruptly cut off as soon as it began. A massive impact once again erupted in the valley, and as Noah's magical power enveloped it, the entire valley was utterly transformed into an abyss!
Noah stood silently at the center of the domain, calmly looking at Juno, who had been torn into pieces. However, Noah quickly acted again. Like a phantom, the moment Noah withdrew his domain, a portal appeared in front of him. In the blink of an eye, Noah had vanished from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was standing next to a small orb of light. Terrifying magical power erupted once more, and the orb was effortlessly grabbed by Noah!
"Still trying to run? What a joke!" Noah muttered disdainfully. Looking at the orb in his hand, Noah's calm expression, which he had maintained for so long, finally revealed a hint of something different. This orb was Juno's soul core.
After Noah shattered Juno's converged body, she had gathered all the power she could concentrate in her final moments, attempting to escape this dangerous area. But Noah had been watching Juno intently, especially in his domain, which was Noah's home turf. How could he possibly let Juno escape?
Clearly, Noah wouldn't let her escape; otherwise, all of Noah's efforts would have been in vain.
