UNLIMITED SPEED

Noah didn't know what to do, and Augustus seemed frozen. So he expanded his consciousness and also held his daggers tighter.

The rest of the group gathered around Noah, as the ground continued to shake, reaching intense levels, forcing Noah to act.

"Augustus!. What is happening?," he shouted bringing the man out of his stupor, as a deep frown appeared on his face. "This is big trouble," Augustus answered.

Immediately he completed his words, Noah picked up an aura, belonging to a tier 1. Then two more sprouted as the rumbling continued, then ten belonging to tier 1, followed by more than seventy belonging to a tier 1.

At that point, Noah understood what was going on and the ironic-ness of the meaning brought a smile on his face.

"Prepare yourself guys, a horde is coming," Noah announced immediately casting 'energy armour', and walking over to Luke's corpse, removing the space ring he stored it in front of the astonished eyes of the others.

"What?. We are about to die, might as well die with something good with me," Noah countered their astonished gaze's.

Focusing on the environment at that point, Noah announced, "Let's move," he said running towards the direction they were headed before the carriage exploded.

The other's were startled for a billi-second, but immediately chased after him, as they understood his reasoning, it would be crazy to stay where the beasts would be centered at.

Noah continued to pick up wild aura's, as he ran, the shaking ground almost made him stumble multiple times.

Though after a few seconds of running the first batch of beasts arrived, Noah counted 30 tier 1 beasts, as immediately lightning flickered into existence around him.

Shaping them into tiny arrows with his mind, Noah sent them flying, kill practically all of them.

Ignoring the multiple notifications saying he had gained exp, Noah continued to run, as multiple ideas filled his mind, all of them ending with revealing his superspeed.

Truth be told he had once thought of telling James but decided against it, but now, he was ready to grab James and run if the situation required it.

Eventually more beasts exited the forest, surprise appeared on Noah's face when he saw the monsters fighting themselves!.

Though some still found their way toward him, slashing left and right with his dagger when they got to close. Noah switched to his staff for a not so close-distance battle.

Eventually tens of tier 1, began to pour out, forcing Noah to slow down and let his group catch up to him.

Glancing at James seeing that he was alright, Noah began to spin his staff madly, kill loads of the tier 1 beasts in the process, followed by Augustus who was swinging his sword incredibly fast, Though Noah could still follow it's movement.

The night sky illuminated their surroundings as magical beasts of various species poured out of the forest, most entering a deadly brawl with each other, while the few that managed to burst out from the brawls, were slaughtered like the ants they were by the group of six.

Although that changed when a few tier 2 beasts in the lower stage arrived. Only Noah and Augustus could easily kill them. Eventually the area became crowded, forcing Noah and the others to utilize spells.

Grabbing the fist of a tier 2 lower stage ape, Noah utilized his control over lightning, as he poured 10 Mana points, into it. Controlling the electrical currents to run through the apes body, Noah watched with an annoyed expression, the ape fry.

Hurling it's body across the crowded battlefield, Noah also got to watch the tier 1's devour it.

Retrieving his daggers, since the area was crowded, Noah was about to say something when Augustus voice rang out.

"It's time to switch to spells," he announced, then a magic circle expanded above their heads, fire balls the size of fully grown humans, rushed out in their tens. Causing destruction, and sending mild shock waves.

The other's nodded at that point, since the magical beasts before their eyes, numbered in hundreds.

Searching among his skills, Noah looked for an area of effect (Aoe) skill. Though he ignored the domains since it was too early for that, so he stuck with 'Air Spears' and 'Lightning bolts'.

[Air Spears: Create Spears made of Air. Cost 10 Mp, Duration N/A. Cool down N/A]

[Lightning bolts: Create bolts of lightning, Cost 20 Mp duration N/A, Cool down N/A]

Two magic circles, appeared in front of his figure, then five Spears made of densely packed air shot out, impaling multiple magical beast. Followed by an incredibly fast lightning bolt, which caused an explosion, killing tens of magical beasts even those in tier 2.

Noah's spells weren't the only ones, as immediately after he was done, a giant hammer made of water flew and smashed multiple beasts.

The ground opened cracks as from them emerged, massive stakes, it seemed the two earth affinity wielders were working together.

Slashing at a tier 2 tiger detaching it's legs from the rest of its body, Noah felt his movements slow down as he felt sloppy, then he noticed that he could see every breath that left his mouth, glancing at the only person capable of this, Noah clicked his tongue, kicking a tier 1 lizards.

A blue magic circle expanded under their feets for tens of meters, followed by ice stakes over 10ft high which numbered in hundreds, appearing on all four sides like a box, impaling the beasts, creating a space where they got the chance to rest for a bit.

The whole group couldn't help but shoot gaze's at Mona, seeing that her face was a bit pale, and her breathing was rough Noah nodded his head at her good work.

Sweeping his gaze on the bluish withe ice, Noah admired this scene for a few seconds, until he heaved a sigh, the group weren't getting anywhere, they had moved a few hundred meters from their previous position, but having to fight magical beasts coming from all sides really slowed down their movement.

"What exactly was that?," Noah asked Augustus.

A few seconds of silence passed as sounds cracks could be heard but no one did anything.

"It was a secret technique called Beginning of hordes. It was used by my family to trap enemies in a horde of raged monsters," Augustus explained passing a Mana potion to Mona who drank it immediately, and her face regained their colour.

"Is there a way to reverse it?," Noah asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yes but the person that reverses it completely has to be more powerful or equally as strong as the activater," Augustus explained with a sigh.

"Can you do it?," Noah asked.

"I can, though not completely, but I will have to sacrifice someone, as you have seen," Augustus stated.

"We mostly used slaves or our own enemies the activate it," Augustus added.

"So does the technique affect all magical Beasts?," Noah asked

"No. It only affects magical beasts one stage below the activaters power, and it range is also limited, about two kilometers or so," Augustus answered.

"Two kilometer!," Noah blurted out.

"So basically you mean for you to reverse it you'll need a person, and it would only work on middle staged beasts," Noah said after he was done being surprised.

Augustus nodded in affirmation. "Does the person have to be alive?," Noah asked as an idea formed in his mind.

"Well only people with a reasonable amount of energy can let it activate, like you saw the other time. Lisa was in the peak stage which was enough for the activation," Augustus explained with a frown.

Noah's ears perked up when he heard the word energy. "Ohhhh if you meant energy then I have lots of that," He commented with a smirk.
