Birth of the Demonic Sword Chapter 1681 - 1681. Awakening

Chapter 1681 - 1681. Awakening

Noah's ambition created storms as it spread through the battlefield. Raging currents made of his law flew in every corner of the region and submitted the matter to his power.

His ambition had changed. It had broadened after the years that Noah spent as a Devil. It obtained aspects that involved s.p.a.ce, but it also intensified its ability to evolve everything around it.

The images of his life as a Devil flowed inside Noah's mind as his angry roar continued to echo through the sky. Noah was livid. He couldn't believe that the other world's will had kept him under its control for so many years.

Still, he could also understand that the transformation had benefitted his existence. Noah was angry beyond reason, but part of him felt glad that the procedure had been a success.

His body had remained the same. The chaotic laws couldn't improve it. Noah had reached a state that surpa.s.sed perfection when it came to his flesh.

His mind had expanded a lot. His mental walls had become quite frail, but his dark matter was reinforcing them for the time being. Moreover, the scarlet radiance given by his bloodl.u.s.t had intensified, and his anger fused with that light.

The greatest changes in Noah's existence had happened to his dantian and black hole.

The fourth center of power had enlarged, and its walls had thickened. Thin flares of dark matter also shot out of its edges and spread through the rest of the body to send waves of power to the various tissues.

The dark matter had become denser. It had already gained liquid properties after the breakthrough to the eighth rank, but its previous shape couldn't match its current one.

Instead, his dantian had shrunk. Noah felt shocked to discover that it had reached the liquid stage, but his surprise didn't end there.

The ambition that the organ radiated was violent. It forced everything around Noah to evolve, but it destroyed the matter that tried to oppose the change. Also, some of its old aspects had intensified, which added new abilities to his darkness.

His pride and hunger were now as powerful as his creation, destruction, and sharpness. Noah's energy could directly devour the matter around him, and it even radiated a heavy pressure that forced weaker beings to kneel.

The black hole could mimic all the new features of his dantian and transform the dark matter into a stronger version of his darkness. Noah's energy had basically become an additional fuel for that power.

Noah didn't immediately learn about those new features. Information flowed inside his mind as the black hole studied the changes that had happened during the Devil state.

Some changes had affected his companions. Noah could see that the parasite had developed a tighter connection with his existence. It clearly depended on him now.

The other companion affected by the chaotic laws was the Demonic Sword. The blade had always been an expression of Noah's existence, but the other world's will found it pointless to keep it severed from his law.

'That's why my black hole has improved,' Noah thought as he closed his mouth and interrupted his fiery pillar.

'It's strange,' The Demonic Sword's young voice resounded in Noah's mind. 'It feels natural to be part of you even if I have retained a separate will.'

The Demonic Sword had fused with Noah's existence. It had become part of the black hole, but Noah could summon it at will. Its level had also developed a better connection with him. The weapon had directly reached the middle tier after the breakthrough to the liquid stage.

Noah studied his surroundings. The battlefield was a mess, but it seemed that the human side had gained the upper hand after he attracted many Devils away.

A platoon of Devils was still kneeling around him. They didn't dare to move from their spot and waited for Noah to give orders.

Their figures had also grown entirely dark. They shared the victory of Noah's mental energy over the other world's will. They had become his followers now.

King Elbas and Wilfred inspected Noah. They didn't know if his mind had awakened, so they didn't dare to near him yet.

"Thank you," Noah growled before stretching his hand toward one of the Devils around him.

The creature stood up and walked toward Noah before placing its neck on his palm. Its energy then flowed inside Noah's body and placated part of his hunger.

'How is this an improvement?' Noah snorted in his mind.

His hunger had returned stronger than ever. His evolution past the simple hybrid state had taken care of that feature, but the chaotic laws had brought it back.

However, Noah could feel that his hunger depended on his pride. His ability to rule over weaker beings had intensified, so that feeling had also grown stronger.

Noah was still livid. Learning about his growth couldn't satisfy the rage that filled his mind. He had inherited part of that feeling from the other world's will, and it seemed that a simple battle wouldn't be enough to vent it.

"Go and make a mess," Noah growled before disappearing from his position.

The Devils stood up and flew back to the battlefield. The cultivators didn't hesitate to fight them, but they soon noticed that something had changed in those creatures.

Their influence had grown stronger and could now affect the experts even from behind their defenses. Also, their battle style wasn't a mere copy of their opponents anymore. The Devils fought like Noah now. They released sharp attacks and toxic dark clouds that seemed able to devour everything.

Noah reappeared near King Elbas and Wilfred. The two experts felt surprised about that sudden event. They didn't sense his arrival, and their minds struggled to fend off the pressure innately generated by his figure.

"Make our team retreat," Noah ordered. "I'm about to go all-out."

"We should all leave the area," King Elbas complained. "Heaven and Earth are about to deploy something meant to get rid of the mutated beings. That includes you now."

"I can't wait to face what they have in mind," Noah growled before disappearing once again.

Wilfred and King Elbas could only exchange a confused glance before flying back to their companions. Noah had already given the order. Nothing in the world could make him change his mind now.

The duo quickly grabbed Luke, Fergie, the Foolery, and Divine Demon before shooting out of the battlefield. The other human troops shot angry glances at them, but they couldn't punish their retreat since they had Devils and sharks to fight.

Meanwhile, Noah reappeared in the middle of the human army. The four solid stage cultivators were nearby, but they couldn't stop his sudden discharge of energy.

A wave of darkness flowed out of his figure and pierced the weaker domains and defenses around him. The solid stage cultivators quickly understood that something was wrong and deployed their techniques to suppress the dark world, but their complexion paled after the darkness disappeared.

All the cultivators under the liquid stage hit by the darkness had disappeared. The leaders couldn't sense them anymore.

Author's notes: The others on the discord already knew about this. I'm writing a second story. It will have a western setting and sci-fi elements. The name of the new novel is "Chaos' Heir". Give it a look if you want. Anyway, I'd like to point out that Demonic Sword will always have priority in my writing schedule, so don't worry about that.
