UNLIMITED SPEED

Crashing on a tree a few tens of meters from the road, Noah clicked his tongue as Muliix receded back into his skin. He had seen the explosion begin, and had reacted in time.

Putting the pieces together, Noah got a full picture, Lisa was sent to kill Augustus.

Dashing out of the forest, Noah saw a badly injured, Luke, who had his legs blown off. He had been on the carriage so the explosion caught him off guard.

His gaze swept the road, as he frantically, searched for three figures, James, Lisa and Augustus.

Sighting James who was only lightly Injured, since he had been further away from the Carriage. Seeing Lisa stabbing Augustus in his stomach, Noah shook his head.

Dashing forward, he retrieved his staff, spinning it he used it to slam Lisa off Augustus. Sending her flying for a few tens of meters, he glanced at Augustus who though still alive, was badly injured, it seemed his clothes had protected him from the blast, not letting it kill him.

Crouching in front of Augustus, his voice rang out, "Are you okay, can you stay awake?," he said.

​ "Yes," Augustus weak voice rang out, he had multiple patches of burnt skin, his beautiful face was badly burnt, but he could still talk.

"What should I do about her," Noah said, after all it seemed she was his lover or so. A moment of silence passed, as Augustus seemed to think.

"Deal with her but leave her alive," Augustus's voice rang out, as multiple bottles appeared, as he gestured for Noah to feed it to him.

Picking a bottle up, Noah tried to feed it's contents to Augustus, when he sighted, Lisa's, sword coming for him.

Clicking his tongue, Noah got ready. immediately her sword was about to strike him, he raised his hands and caught it.

This greatly surprised her, since her eyes were wide open when she realized that she couldn't remove her sword from Noah's grip.

Dropping the bottle in his right hand, Noah formed a fist, then he punched her stomach, so fast, Lisa only saw a blur before she was sent flying towards the forest with the speed of a bullet.

Nodding at the successful attack, though he actually didn't reduce the power of the punch, purely because she had come out of the carriages explosion unscathed.

Picking the bottle back up, and pouring it's contents into Augustus mouth, Noah watched in surprise, his body glow a green shade, so slight it was almost imperceptible, but Noah saw it.

Making Augustus drink five bottles, Noah watched as his skin began the regrow. Feeding him the sixth, Noah stood up, since Augustus had fallen asleep.

Heaving as sigh, he swept his gaze on the destruction caused by Lisa. Luke and the two magical beasts were dead, Jonas badly injured, Bern also badly Injured, Jessica had passed out, Mona too. James simply sat on the ground, his hands holding his head.

Glancing at the three remaining bottles, Noah picked them up, rushing towards Bern he fed him the bottles contents, seeing that his body stopped bleeding, Noah rushed towards Jonas, but immediately he arrived in front of him, he found that he wasn't breathing.

Noah's expression darkened at this sight. Taking a deep breath, he went back to Bern and fed him another bottle, watching his body being to heal, Noah checked on Jessica seeing that she had simply passed out, he relaxed though he still fed her a bit of the bottles contents, to be sure, he also did the same for Mona.

Walking towards James, who sat crossed-legged cultivating, Noah wanted to say something, when he sighted the crawling figure of Lisa.

Immediately flashing in front of her, he picked her up. Seeing a caved in hole in her stomach which bled badly, he gave her the remaining contents of the last bottle, to make sure she didn't die on him.

Immediately she drank it, after a few seconds of struggling, she fell asleep. Not knowing what to do, Noah went and tore a long piece of cloth from Jonas's attire. Then tied Lisa to a tree where he could see her clearly.

Sitting next to James still cultivating figure, Noah practiced his elemental control, since they helped incredibly well. After about thirty minutes, James stopped cultivating.

"So she was sent to kill him," James said while his eyes fell on the still unconscious Lisa.

"It seems so," Noah stated with a light shrug still practicing.

"Then why was she found wounded, it doesn't make sense," James said with a confused expression.

Noah gained a thoughtful expression, the his voice rang out, "It was all probably staged," he said. "That's why the tier 3 expert didn't kill us," he added.

Shock ran through James's mind when he heard those words, "Tier 3," he muttered.

"Yes. And he even spoke with me," Noah said getting up from the ground.

"Seriously, what did he say?.....Is that why you were that injured?," James questioned.

"Nothing much, but yes that's why I was the reason I got that wounded," Noah said walking up to Luke's corpse. Crouching next to it, he Inspected the body.

Picking up the right hand, Noah removed the ring on it. He was almost sure that there were valuable things inside it, but he couldn't take much since Augustus would probably ask for it.

Calling James over since he couldn't do it alone, solely because he wasn't alone.

Wearing the ring, Noah inspected it. The ring was made out of a metal, but he couldn't determine it just from look.

Although it was black in color, it seemed to sparkle, just a bit in the sunlight.

The ring had a very tiny gem embedded into it. 'Damn' Noah couldn't help exclamain in his mind.

The gem embedded into it showed that whoever that crafted it knew what they were doing, extremely well at that.

"This one had been imprinted by him," James said, after a few seconds of speculation.

"But he is dead now, and the fact that it hasn't blown off your finger, proves that," He added.

Surprise ran inside Noah's mind when he heard those words. "Wait people can imprint space rings, and unless the imprinter dies if anyone wears it, the would explode?," Noah questioned.

"Yes, and yes,"James replied, simply shaking his head in wonder.

"I see...." Noah muttered. "Let's see it's contents," James eventually said with an ever so slight hint of greed on his expression.

Nodding his head, Noah did exactly that. Controlling the space ring, a relatively loud thud resounded in the area. Noah and James glanced back and front, to make sure no one was awoken by the sound.

Sighing in relief when nobody woke up, they focused on the items on the ground.

There were exactly six bags, an armour, a giant sword, multiple scrolls, and bottles, a few good looking clothes, and lastly the gruesome scene of multiple disembodied body parts!.

Noah didn't want to think of why Luke stored body parts, so he immediately put them back into the ring, followed by the large grey armour, and the giant sword, there was no doubt Augustus would ask for it.

Now all that remained, were the clothes, six bags, multiple scrolls and the tens of bottles.

First moving to the bags, Noah uncovered their contents. Four of the bags were filled only with foodstuff like bread and some meat, Noah took some of them so did James.

The remaining two smaller bags, the size of large yam tubers, were suprisingly filled with coins, silver ones!!.

Greed seeped out of every corner of Noah face at that point.

After all multiple silver coins lay right in front of him. Although for the first bag Augustus gave them, he had managed to get 6 small silvers coupled with the 5 he previously had from his work in Vonol, putting the amount of money tied to his name at 11 small silver coins.

But after Noah and James shared a portion of the bag, he managed to get 30 each!!, and there was still a reasonable portion of just one bag!.

Honestly Every cell in Noah's body wanted to just take both bags and run to Crilion, but he couldn't. Though after a few seconds they both added 10 each, with James asking Noah to take his'. Which Noah did with a smile.

Now he was a mini rich man, with 66 small silver coins, 7 large copper coins, 80 medium sized coins and 300 small coppers.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Noah moved to the bottles.
