Chapter 141 - Intense Battle
-----
BOOM!
Amber\'s beam of light hit Noah\'s barriers and exploded, shattering Noah\'s elemental blood gem shields, however, most of the attack was already mitigated, and Noah used this opportunity to enhance his vampiric wings with more mana while using Crimson Flash to reach Amber in an instant!
Amber was not so good at close combat and was a hunter that enjoyed long-ranged fights, however, Noah\'s speed was pushing her to always fight in close combat, as the Vampire man enjoyed using his Soul Weapon in the shape of a giant bony claw to fight.
Amber also had a Soul Weapon, the Princess of Jewels Spear, a C-Rank Soul Weapon she acquired one year ago inside a dangerous Dungeon.
She used such a powerful weapon to concentrate her mana into it and fire beams of light towards Noah!
Noah was certainly being damaged by them even with his armor, but any damage inflicted to him would soon regenerate afterward!
"This… are you some kind of undying beast?!" asked Amber in anger and frustration, as she rushed towards Noah while creating large wings made of jewels!
CLASH!
Her spear clashed against Noah\'s claws, as an explosion of crimson flames and dark winds was unleashed afterward!
Noah generated more elemental blood gem weapons, pointing them at Amber as she gritted her teeth!
"Barrier!"
CLASH!
The shower of elemental blood gem weapons began to explode into colorful explosions each time they clashed against her barriers, as the barriers themselves began to crack and shatter as well!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Noah smiled eerily as he once more saw Amber lower her guard due to his overwhelming onslaught, using Crimson Flash and Mist Form to fly towards her while being undetected for a few seconds, and then, he began to gather his Soul over his claws!
"Let\'s see if you are as tough as Pride…" thought Noah, as he unleashed a powerful slashing attack over Amber\'s back while she was still defending against the weapons Noah generated and sent towards her!
SLASH!
The slashing attack that was charged with his very soul broke through any barriers set by Amber, as it shattered her jewels and reached her tender, flesh, slicing through it and even damaging her very soul!
And in that very moment, Noah activated several other Skills!
Such as… Toxic and Poisonous Fluid Secretion, Bloodline Curse, Vampiric Drain, and Blood Detonation!
Flash!
The several Skills activate within that millisecond, as Amber grits her teeth and glares back at Noah, while unleashing a shower of giant boulders of jewels towards him!
"GAAAAGGH…! GET AWAY!" roared Amber, as Noah was thrown away, however, a wicked and shit-eating grin emerged on his face.
"Boom," he said, closing his fists as Amber felt something within her back and inside of her soul… begin to inflate!
"W-What…?"
She felt as if enormous burning energy began to accumulate within her flesh, her entire back exploded!
"Unnnngrrrryyyaaaaaaaaaahhh…!"
BOOM!
Noah flew back as he glanced at the scene unfold…
The pieces of flesh of Amber flying over the air…
However, he felt like her life force had yet to dissipate.
"Alive even after that? Impressive…" said Noah, squinting his eyes as he began to generate new weapons around him, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.
Then he saw Amber\'s appearance, her head was barely standing as most of her back was blown away, a river of blood was coming out of her gigantic wound, as her spine was visible within it…
Noah noticed that her left lung was blown away as well, but she was somehow still alive…
Even without being a Vampire like him…
"Impressive. So this is the resilience of a B-Rank Hunter. This is quite insightful," said Noah.
"Hhahhh….! Unngggahhh…! I am… going to kill you…!" roared Amber, as she covered her large wound with jewels, resembling an armor of them, as she flew towards Noah with all her might!
BOOM!
Noah was thrown into the air, as he smiled with excitement!
"Is that so?! Well, try!" laughed Noah, as his entire body was infused with all of his buffing Skills, enhancing his physical capabilities, hastening the flow of his blood, and making his eyes turn completely red as a berserk-like frenzy took over his entire self!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Noah used his enormous claws to slash through Amber\'s powerful blows while using his legs which he covered in a coating of elemental blood gems of fire and wind to kick Amber\'s stomach and send her flying into the air!
BOOM!
FLASH!
Noah did not waste any second as he flew toward her, charging all of his power once more!
Amber glanced at Noah with a twisted and insane expression of pure wrath, as she infused all the mana left within her soul, creating a giant boulder, and throwing it at Noah!
"GET CRUSHED TO DEATH!" she roared, as Noah was hit by the enormous boulder, hitting the ground of the manor, and shaking the entire place!
BOOM!
The manor itself could not resist anymore, as it finally gave in and began to fall apart!
Noah felt the enormously heavy boulder fall over him, as it started to crush him entirely!
CLASH!
Noah started to smile like a complete madman, however, as he started to use all of his abilities to break through the entire thing!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
His enormous attacks started to blow away the boulder into pieces, cracking and shattering it!
Infusing all of his might and soul, Noah unleashed an explosion of crimson aura, blasting the gigantic boulder into pieces once and for all!
BOOOM!
Amber, who had thought that she had already won when the entire manor fell apart was surprised and taken aback!
"Y-You broke through my hill-sized boulder-like nothing?!" she asked while panting for air and falling into the ground, she was out of mana, and by overexerting herself, she was having a terrible headache, making everything around her even more confusing and dizzy.
Noah flew towards her, hovering right above her and glancing at him from above.
"Now my entire manor is ruined… Well, I should have predicted that it could happen. This is a nice opportunity to rebuild it with new specs though… Hm? Oh, you are still alive?" asked Nah.
"Eh?!"
Amber was left in shock over Noah\'s shamelessness, he was not even paying attention to her, who was at his mercy right before him!
Iris, Arthur, and Timassa quickly flew at his side, as the group glanced at Amber from above.
"Hahh… What are your monsters?!" asked Amber.
"We are the Noctem Family," said Iris.
"Noctem… Family?!" asked Amber.
"My lord, it would be beneficial to leave here alive so we can extort the Crystal Guild Leader with her life, find his location, and take over the entire thing," said Arthur.
"I was thinking the same thing!" said Noah.
"W-What?! I would rather die than let you use me as such a thing!" roared Amber, as she grabbed a jewel and tried to penetrate her chest with it!
Flash!
However, shadows suddenly took hold of her entire body, like tentacles and claws, they grasped tightly into her body!
"Adamantine, Noire, good job," said Noah.
Adamantine and Noire emerged from within Amber\'s shadows, and entangled her entire body with them, tightly grasping her limbs and sealing her movements.
"I wanted… to fight!" said Adamantine.
"We are quite late, it took a bit more to take care of the army of D-Rank Hunters, there were some who had some explosive and interesting Skills, but they had been exterminated," said Noire.
After all the Robots received updates into their Mana Core Batteries, becoming Blood Core Batteries, many of the protocols and rules that bound their minds were easily erased from their minds and became completely independent. However, they held great devotion to Noah, of course.
Such a rule about not harming humans that Sakura, Sugar, and some other Robots had was already erased from their hard drives, and they were able to slaughter any invaders or enemies mercilessly and coldly, be it human or monster.
"Nnngh… Such masterful… use of shadows… agh… let me go! You monsters! Ah? A robot?!"
Amber glanced at Noire, who was clearly a Robot, using such advanced ability overshadows!
"I am indeed a robot, although I have evolved into something far greater thanks to the grace of my lord," said Noire.
Flash.
Clementine and Jon emerged at the side of Noah once more, as they alerted him of their scouting.
"Master, we found the cameras watching over us, here they are…" said Clementina, showing Noah an ice cube filled with flying camera droids.
"And we had also marked one and let it run away as you ordered us," said Jon.
"Excellent, let\'s go, this isn\'t over yet…" said Noah.
