Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 2188 - 2188. Interesting

Pride was an important matter, especially for magical beasts that had reached the peak of the cultivation journey. That feeling was even more significant for the Eternal Snake due to its angry character.

Still, pride and anger easily led to misconceptions, and they could blind even the wisest existences. The Eternal Snake wasn't part of that group, but the many experiences accumulated in its long life didn't help it understand its flaws.

Remaining loyal to its species was a commendable effort, but it became stupid when it turned into a hindrance toward higher forms of power. The Eternal Snake wasn't willing to accept anyone's help, but Noah's actions had forced it to realize how weak it truly was.

Truth be told, the Eternal Snake was powerful. Only some species of dragons could overcome its innate abilities and sheer physical strength. However, the battlefield had long since gone beyond the mere struggles of the higher plane.

The Eternal Snake's mentality still belonged to the higher plane. At its core, it was a magical beast, so its desires still involved control over regions and similar environments.

Nevertheless, the world was far past those problems. The Eternal Snake could ignore that its pack was thriving on something Noah had created, but the latter couldn't accept that it continued to live like this.

Being arrogant was fine. Being prideful was even better. Yet, Noah couldn't forgive weakness, especially when it came from a bad mindset. He didn't care if the snake ended up hating him. He would force it to turn into something useful and deal with eventual problems later.

The Eternal Snake wanted to complain, but everything that tried to come out of its mouth sounded like childish whining. The truth was impossible to deny, and Noah had made sure to show it multiple times. A mere upper tier magical beast had no place among the sky.

"I will make you pay," The Eternal Snake threatened.

"I don't care," Noah coldly growled. "Just become strong enough to be useful."

"I will become strong enough to kill you," The Eternal Snake promised.

"Be careful," Noah chuckled. "There is a long line for that."

The snake hissed in anger, and the potential accumulated during the long life on the landmass finally broke free of the organ's limitations. Noah's miraculous energy fused with the creature's body, but it didn't take over the process.

Noah would typically create a chrysalis and manage the transformation so that his companion would turn into the best version of itself. Yet, he held back now and let the experiences accumulated by the snake rule the process.

Black lines appeared on the dark-green scales until they covered the entirety of the snake's body. Those marks enlarged and released smoke to create a chrysalis, and Noah did nothing to affect the process.

"Oh my," Philto sighed. "You are up to something troublesome. I can't let that happen."

Philto pointed his hand at the snake, but Noah and Divine Demon materialized in front of it. They had already unleashed their auras, and their dark and blood-red light took over the whiteness in their surroundings.

"Why would you attack now?" Noah teased. "Stay put and let the process end quietly."

"Attacking is a bother," Philto commented, "But I believe that this situation would last even longer if I don't do anything. I'm just pursuing the least troublesome path."

"Causing troubles is our specialty," Divine Demon announced. "Come on. I want to see what you can do when you try."

"Do you think this is the first time someone taunts me?" Philto asked. "Everyone is confident until the immensity of the sky becomes clear in their minds. You merely are a bit better than the others."

Philto didn't speak anymore. A wave of white energy left its hand and clashed with the shades released by Noah and Divine Demon. A clash of ethereal attacks happened mid-air, and a winner immediately became clear.

Noah and Divine Demon didn't hide their surprise when they saw the whiteness pushing their auras back. Philto's attack didn't carry any specific feature, but it remained strong enough to win against their opponents.

Of course, Noah and Divine Demon didn't accept defeat so easily. The blood-red radiance transformed into a series of dragon-like creatures that ate whiteness. Meanwhile, Night came out of Noah's figure and severed that annoying radiance into countless pieces.

"Are your ears even working?" Philto asked in his annoyed tone. "This energy is part of my world, and I'm immortal."

The whiteness destroyed and eaten suddenly reappeared in the area and overwhelmed the opposing techniques. The blood-red dragons crumbled while Night felt forced to retreat.

Noah and Divine Demon also had to retreat, but they couldn't go too far since the chrysalis was right behind them. The two felt forced to take the battle to the next level. Noah wielded his swords while Divine Demon generated a series of circular structures that quickly fused.

Noah knew what Divine Demon was about to unleash, so he decided to be the first to attack. Night returned inside his figure as he pointed his swords toward Philto. The entirety of his destructiveness gathered on his blades' tips before a wave of darkness filled the area.

The whiteness could only crumble in front of that massive wave of power. Noah's attack carried so many aspects of destruction that nothing could stand in its way. The areas inside the sky probably had the most stable fabric of space in the entire world, but they also failed to withstand the blow.

The battlefield fell into the void, and the sky in the distance remained the only source of white light. Even Philto suffered from the attack and found a giant hole at the center of its body.

The offensive didn't end there. Divine Demon circular structures finally fused to create a cylindrical item that featured multiple odd inscriptions. Noah didn't have the time to study them since Divine Demon unleashed his attack and covered the whole battlefield in bright blood-red light.

Nothing survived Divine Demon's attack. Noah even found himself praising that technique in his mind. His companion had proven once again to be an incredible monster.

The appearance of a white light among the blood-red area forced Noah and Divine Demon to focus on the battlefield again. They knew what was about to appear, and they felt no surprise when that radiance took Philto's shape.

"Troublesome, troublesome," Philto sighed while scratching his long, brown hair. "Look at the mess you have made. Heaven and Earth will wake up at this pace, and they will definitely scold me."

Philto's aura quickly spread in every spot tainted by the blood-red light to generate whiteness in its insides. The effect didn't only affect the energy on the battlefield. It also restored the fabric of space that Noah had destroyed.

Noah and Divine Demon could only watch as Philto restored the battlefield to its original state. It was as if the previous attacks didn't exist at all, but the event was different from what Noah had witnessed with Caesar.

"This is bad," Noah sighed.

"Bad indeed," Divine Demon agreed.

"Are you finally giving up?" Philto asked.

"Not at all," Divine Demon stated.

"I wanted to let the snake kill you," Noah explained, "But you are too interesting to take lightly."
