The ominous aura was no more. Noah had even managed to store the maimed corpse of the quasi-rank 7 Eternal Snake. The only possible conclusion was that the creature wasn't alive anymore.

Noah didn't believe that at first. The Eternal Snake had come back from the dead so many times that he felt skeptical about its actual death.

However, his instincts soon reassured him, and the ice appeared to have lost the drive that characterized its peculiar behavior. The giant frozen structure had stopped moving, and it soon fell while carrying Noah with it.

The drawbacks of his ambition began to hit his centers of power. Noah felt weak, weaker than he had felt in years. That battle had utterly drained him, but the dark matter released by his black hole filled his body with a refreshing feeling.

The black hole wouldn't allow him to collapse on the spot, but it couldn't heal him either. Even his new flames couldn't fix his current condition since his tiredness didn't come from injuries.
