Noah had completely regained his composure and no longer pursued the traceless Darren.
Golden blades ford from blood materialized around him, constantly accumulating the power in his veins, planning to kill most of his enemies in an instant.
Although the surrounding Extraordinary Exponents were attacking vigorously, those blood-ford blades automatically defended Noah, blocking most of the attacks.
Even the few attacks that did reach him were utterly aningless.
Soon, five golden blades ford from blood appeared around Noah, each filled with destructive power, capable of easily killing any Extraordinary Exponent below Monarch Level!
However, just as Noah was about to launch his attack, he suddenly sensed that sothing was amiss.
His body began to petrify without warning!
Darren, wearing an Iron Mask, approached him, looking imposing. He stared at the immobilized Noah, watching as each golden blade turned to stone, fell to the ground, and shattered.
After winning the gamble with the "soul dice," he had gained an imnse rule power, so much so that even Noah was astonished by this regulatory force!
"Die here, King of Cyart. If you don't die here, many people won't be able to sleep... at the very least, my family will be up all night."
The previously laughing Darren suddenly grew serious, staring intently at Noah with a deep voice, deciding to kill him off completely!
He was fully aware of the vast gap between himself and the top mid-level Monarchs, knowing that even with the help of a barrier and the distraction of other Extraordinary Exponents, he couldn't hold out for long.
There was only one chance, to use the regulatory power of the "soul dice" to kill Noah Adley!
"So it's this kind of power?"
Noah took a deep breath, now fully understanding deep down that the dice were definitely a double-digit Forbidden rare artifact!
Even his Blood of Salvation could not resist its petrification!
Darren of the Fischer...
"Iron Mask Man"...
was just a Transmutation-level Extraordinary Exponent...
A re ant-like existence could threaten his very life and death!
His eyes grew wider, brows furrowed, lips tightly pursed, trembling slightly with anger, involuntarily clenching his teeth, producing a soft clicking sound.
Golden blood ignited around Noah's body, attempting to delay or even remove the petrification.
However, his skin beca increasingly hard, as if life-like stone textures were spreading across his arms and chest, showing no signs of stopping.
Darren chuckled, looking at the once high and mighty but now helpless king, asking cruelly and gleefully, "King of Cyart, how do you feel now?"
Despite Noah's imnse effort, the petrification process seed irreversible; his body grew heavier and his movents slower.
Finally, Noah Adley had turned completely into a stone statue, devoid of any sign of life.
Darren burst into laughter, then took a deep breath.
He had finally dealt with him!
Suddenly, the air around Noah's stone-like body began to tremble, a warm and dazzling light burst from the deepest parts of his body, growing stronger, blurring the outlines once restrained by the petrification power, and replacing them with flowing, brilliant golden radiance.
In the golden light, Noah's figure gradually beca clear, and as the light reached its peak, it exploded, transforming into countless tiny golden specks, like seeds of life. All the golden points converged into a powerful energy stream, reshaping his physique.
Darren's eyes widened in horror at the sight.
The power of a Forbidden rare artifact?
In the next mont, the revitalized Noah had exhausted his strength, unable to support his body, and thus knelt directly in front of Darren.
"Hahaha, you almost killed , so close... Fischer's 'Iron Mask Man' Darren, I'll rember your na, and no matter what, I will never let you go, I'll rember you!"
"You can take pride in that! Now go to your death!"
Darren looked down at the silent Noah, deeply shaken inside, quickly pondering his next move.
Was that resurrection from the dead?
Can he use it a second ti?
Or rather, how could he possibly kill him a second ti?
How could it be like this?
Darren's heart was filled with gloom and reluctance, but he had exhausted his Spiritual Power. Even with "household managent" for recovery, it would take ti and he couldn't imdiately reuse the "soul dice."
Noah knelt on the ground, his eyes wide with fear erging from deep within. He knew one thing clearly: if not for the power of the forbidden rare artifact on him, he would have been killed by an Extraordinary Exponent who hadn't even reached Monarch Level just monts ago.
Indeed, powerful forbidden rare artifacts all have strategic value, enough to reverse huge gaps in strength. Luckily, his own forbidden rare artifact was also very effective!
It was a forbidden rare artifact numbered 722, shaped like a colorless bracelet, nad "Death Retrospection."
Your journey continues at empire
Ten years ago, it was by the power of "Death Retrospection" that he had barely survived, though the cost was that his strength would drop several levels for the following years, even losing the Monarch Level.
The power of "Death Retrospection" could also only be used once every few years.
Today, there would be no second chance for resurrection.
"You all really drove to a dead end..."
Surrounded by enemies, Noah kneeling on the ground took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting an unprecedented realization.
He pulled out a beautiful, golden Holy Grail.
Number ninety-three.
"Golden Holy Grail"
It was a hereditary object of the Adley family, a national treasure of Cyart. The old king of Cyart had used it to end a war with the Rhea People.
However, the cost of using it was also extrely heavy; the old king of Cyart beca delirious, thus in his mad state, he was exploited by the Words of Tranquility.
Nevertheless, Noah knew he had no more choices!
The beautiful golden Holy Grail always contained an invisible liquid, emanating a special wine-like aroma that attracted everyone in Nasir City.
People had never slled such a delightful scent.
Noah drank it expressionlessly in one gulp.
His voice suddenly beca god-like, imnse enough to spread throughout the entire city.
"Spirits of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, I command you..."
"Kill all my enemies!"
"Destroy everything in my sight!"
It didn't take long for Darren and the others to be shocked to see an unprecedented hurricane sweep through with the force of thunderous fury, the howling wind like an angry beast, tearing the city's buildings apart.
This was followed by incessant thunder and lightning, each bolt like Divine wrath, tearing through the night sky and striking the ground, setting buildings ablaze into towering infernos.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, and raging floodwaters surged into the city like ferocious beasts.
This was followed promptly by fire spreading rapidly, forming a sea of flas that licked the buildings, turning them to ashes, thick smoke billowing, darkening the skies, filling the air with the acrid sll of char.
Lastly, the earth also joined in the feast of destruction, the ground splitting open huge cracks, swallowing everything.
The Fischer family tried to attack Noah, but the Holy Grail gave the Cyart King a glowing protective barrier that made him impervious to all Extraordinary Powers until the Spirits of the Elents fulfilled Noah's recent commands.
Screaming, crying, and shouting intertwined, forming a mournful symphony throughout Nasir City.
Watching Nasir City being devastated, the terrible casualties, Felix trembled uncontrollably, unable to stop himself from cursing loudly.
"You beast!"
"You are unworthy to be the king of the Cyart people!"
In the Grand Hall beneath Fischer Manor, an extrely weak Lilian finally advanced the ritual to its last step, her whole being reviving as if greatly ntally inspired.
Ten years.
Yes.
A whole ten years had passed...
She had waited far too long for this day...
Her eyes brimming with tears, she paid no mind to the chaos outside, focusing on the sacred object and slowly speaking.
"Great Lord of the Lost, awaken!"
"Fischer family always rembers our covenant with you, asking for your return!"
