Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1527 1527. Drawbacks

The dragon struggled to stand. It had lost most of its legs, and Night had also severed its heart from its body. However, its resilience allowed it to remain alive.

The creature raised its head and spread its mouth. Everything in Noah's vision went dark when the dragon launched a last desperate attack against its opponent.

The pulling force tried to drag Noah inside its mouth, but Snore slammed on him to push him away from that ability. The dark matter inside the Blood Companion started to flow inside the beast again, but Noah promptly recalled it.

Night launched a relentless offensive inside the dragon's body, and its functions eventually stopped. The creature crashed on the ground, closing its mouth and ending its threatening innate ability.

Noah quickly stored the corpse and its legs before kneeling on the ground. His white sword also returned inside the separate space, but Night, Snore, and the Demonic Sword gathered around him.

An intense weakness fell on Noah's mind. He had used the full power of his ambition in that fight. His law had enhanced his centers of power, his abilities, and his companions. He was about to face the harshest drawbacks of his life.

Night, Snore, and the Demonic Sword would gladly share part of those drawbacks, but Noah's ambition didn't work like that. He was the only one who could pay the price of that empowerment.

Noah began to convulse before crashing on the ground. His body trembled, and blood flowed out of his mouth. His consciousness also lost any connection with the outside world as a series of nightmares replaced his thoughts. NovelWell.com

Snore and the Demonic Sword didn't know what to do, but Night showed its experience in that situation. It flew inside the separate space and came out carrying a series of rank 8 materials.

Noah didn't eat all of them. He had stored a few rank 8 materials because they worked better than any pill and potion for him. Night knew that, so it didn't hesitate to take them out after inspecting Noah's condition.

Snore covered Noah with its massive body, and the Demonic Sword did its best to cut those materials into small pieces. Noah was in no condition to deploy the dark world, so his companions had to replace that technique.

The snake's violent dark matter fell on the materials and helped the Demonic Sword in its task. Night also did its best to support the blade, and the trio eventually succeeded in severing those tough nutrients.

Night then carried them inside Noah's black hole. The Pterodactyl was aware that the fourth center of power knew what to do with that energy.

Some of the rank 7 dragons in the distance left the battlefield and shot toward Noah. They had sensed the death of their leader, and they wanted to seize eventual leftovers.

Still, those creatures couldn't go past Snore. The Blood Companion filled the whole area with a cloud of violent dark matter that could shatter the ground. No rank 7 magical beast could reach Noah in that situation.

Noah dreamt about his battles. He saw all his killings, but from the point of view of his opponents. His mind was punishing him for harnessing the power of his ambition. Even his drawbacks had evolved after his expertise improved.

The waves of energy released by the black hole slowly brought Noah back into the real world. His consciousness regained some clarity, and his body stopped shaking.

His slight improvement didn't change his situation. Noah still felt unable to move, and his mind was too weak to think about anything. Yet, his companions changed their approach after he woke up. They started feeding rank 7 materials to the black hole to preserve Noah's stash of valuable materials.

That approach slowed down Noah's recovery, but he felt grateful toward his companions. They had understood that the worst part was over, and they had focused their efforts on saving the results of his long journey.

The battle continued to rage above the broken mountain. The dragons' resilience was incredible. Their bodies were also on par with the Foolery. However, they lacked their speed, which eventually made the pigs gain the upper hand in the fight.

The Foolery even had Noah's troops and Fergie by their side. They could handle the weaker underlings easily and overwhelm them with their numbers. Only the rank 8 pig had to fight the other leader on its own, which led to a long and bloody battle.

Noah became able to sit after spending an entire week laid on the ground. The companions had long since stopped feeding materials to the black hole. He could handle his recovery on his own now.

The battle was still raging. The fight among the underlings was over, but the leaders were in a deadlock. Neither of them could gain the upper hand over their opponent. They were equally matched, even if the dragon was slowly learning how the pig fought.

'Night, help the pig,' Noah said through the mental connection before activating his ambition again.

His centers of power were a mess, and it would take Noah years to recover. He wouldn't be able to stand even if he used his ambition on himself.

However, Night didn't suffer drawbacks. It could benefit from Noah's power and fight without restrictions on its position.

'I will end it quickly,' Night replied before merging with the world.

Night didn't want to fight while Noah was in that condition, but he had already reactivated his ambition. Complaining now would only prolong his suffering.

Noah supported his head with his hands. The intense drawbacks were already returning. He could sense his consciousness losing its grip on the world, and spasms had also reappeared in certain spots of his body.

His dantian was begging him to stop using the darkness in its insides, but Noah didn't let any of that interrupt his plan. The sooner the rank 8 Foolery won its fight, the earlier he could focus on resting.

Scenes of Night's battle entered Noah's mind, but he was in no condition to inspect them. His whole attention was on keeping his centers of power together. He felt about to crumble, but his willpower and materials allowed him to continue empowering the Pterodactyl.

Then, Night sent a mental message, and Noah quickly withdrew his ambition. His consciousness lost its connection with the outside world again, and his companion felt forced to repeat the previous process.

When Noah woke up, he found that the number of his guardians had increased. Night, Snore, and the Demonic Sword were the last line of protection of that defensive formation, and the rest of his army occupied the spots around them.

Fergie floated above the army with the Foolery. They were all making sure that nothing harmful could reach Noah. After all, the pack and the army had gained access to the Soul Stones thanks to his efforts.

'Snore, make me a cave,' Noah said through the mental connection, and the Blood Companion quickly executed his orders.

"Fergie," Noah eventually said in a weak voice, "Make sure that I obtain the largest share of Soul Stones. I will disappear for a few years now."

"I have already taken care of it," Fergie replied. "I have also counted the Soul Stones in each share to reassure you."

Noah couldn't help but nod before entering his cave. His army dispersed at that point, and everyone in the area began to absorb the resources obtained in the battle.
