1349 1349. Violent battle

Black smoke flowed out of Noah's figure as his ambition empowered his centers of power. The two layers of fiendish armor formed, and the dark world expanded.

The dark matter couldn't cross the room. There was an invisible barrier that divided the staircase and the secret area, but Noah couldn't sense it with his mind.

Something told him that he had to enter the room to affect its insides. That test wouldn't allow any cheat or tactic. It wanted Noah to fight the puppet on an even field.

'Fine then,' Noah concluded before cutting away any useless thought.

The puppet was a creature in the middle tier. Its materials made it stronger than an average magical beast, but its power was within the range of Noah's prowess.

The light coming from inside the puppet intensified when Noah entered the room. The invisible barrier didn't affect him, and it didn't even hurt the abilities prepared beforehand.
