Chapter 1645: 1645. Unique

Name:Birth of the D.S. Author:eoc
'Are they immune to Heaven and Earth's laws?' Noah wondered while inspecting the Devil.

A lightning bolt had hit the creature, but the latter had absorbed that energy and increased its influence. The attack didn't manage to inflict any damage. It only strengthened the Devil.

'I won't learn anything if I keep relying on Althea,' Noah sighed in his mind before stepping forward.

His companions turned to shoot surprised glances. Some questions even reached Noah's ears, but he ignored them.

Althea wasn't a friend. She was barely an ally who could contact Heaven and Earth. That alone put her closer to the status of an enemy, so Noah couldn't trust her.

The same went for the other experts. They were clueless about the whole situation and couldn't tell Noah anything. Even his friends didn't know what the Devils were, so he had to take a personal approach to solve his doubts.

It was hard to discern the Devil's cultivation level. Noah's mental waves didn't help him in the task, so he had to rely on his instincts to gain a vague understanding of the creature's battle prowess.

His instincts placed the Devil between the gaseous and liquid stage. That amount of power was perfect for Noah's current battle prowess. In theory, he couldn't even come close to losing.

The group saw Noah crossing the area with dense air and stepping among the floating boulders. The Devil continued to ignore him, but he didn't plan to remain silent much longer.

Noah waved the Demonic Sword, and a singularity flew toward the Devil. The attack destroyed its trails of energy before crashing on its humanoid shape.

'Strange,' Noah thought while inspecting the damage caused by his slash.

A few dark spots had appeared inside the singularity before hitting the Devil. The attack's purity had fallen while approaching that opponent.

The Devil didn't even suffer much damage. The singularity had taken half of its torso away, but the event didn't seem to affect the creature, which continued to laugh and ignore Noah as if nothing had happened.

'I did hold back, but the attack should have blasted its entire body away nonetheless,' Noah thought without moving his eyes away from the strange creature.

A second slash shot out of the Demonic Sword. The singularity crashed on the Devil in an instant and finished destroying its torso. The creature only had its lower body and head left, but it continued to laugh and ignore its surroundings.

'Does it ignore me because I don't carry Heaven and Earth's scent?' Noah wondered before shooting forward until he arrived in front of the Devil.

The creature wanted to continue to ignore Noah, but he had appeared right in front of it. He didn't even move. He wanted to see how the Devil would react once someone sealed its path ahead.

The Devil eventually stopped laughing and turned toward Noah. Its head had continued to float above its lower body even after the singularities had destroyed the torso. It seemed that its existence didn't depend on the integrity of its figure.

Noah felt a strange pressure landing on his mind. That force wasn't heavy, but it carried a peculiar aura that he couldn't completely understand.

The absorption of chaotic laws could cause a similar effect, but Noah felt that it was different. That aura carried a distinct hatred that resonated with Noah's feelings.

'They are born to hate Heaven and Earth,' Noah concluded as that aura remained around him. 'Still, they should only be a mass of chaotic laws. Why would they even gain a human figure?'

The Devil required more study, and Noah couldn't wait to get his hands on that creature. Its existence could develop an apparent immunity toward Heaven and Earth's laws, and it even seemed resistant toward other types of true meanings. Noah had to learn its secret.

The creature's aura began to spread past Noah. All the mutations that the Devil had triggered stopped affecting the matter and gathered on its figure. Its torso soon reappeared after that energy converged in that spot, but the nature of its laws remained unchanged.

The Devil raised its hand as soon as its body healed. A trail of dark-red energy shot forward and exploded right before hitting Noah. A cloud with the same shades soon covered his figure.

Noah had let the attack hit him on purpose. He couldn't understand the Devil's power through exchanges alone. He had to feel what its energy could do to his existence.

The dark-red cloud sent unique energy toward his body. It didn't have much power, but it also seemed to carry an unstoppable force.

Noah's existence remained firm, but a few instabilities appeared, especially on his centers of power. The aura seemed able to force part of his law to mutate, but the black hole always got rid of those tainted spots.

A wave of destruction ran through Noah's aura and forced the dark-red cloud to disperse. Its power transformed into higher energy and converged toward Noah's nostrils, which gave the black hole a chance to inspect it.

The black hole wasn't ideal for the task, but Noah didn't have much better. The primary energy passed through its waves of dark matter and revealed everything to the organ while the purification began.

Noah could gain a deeper understanding of that energy during the process. His initial guess had been on point. The Devil's chaotic laws saw Heaven and Earth as their main enemies, and their state gave them an innate resistance against those attacks.

'I wonder if I can obtain similar features,' Noah thought as his eyes lit up.

The Devil had resumed its mindless destruction, but Noah quickly appeared in front of the creature. His blade directly descended, and a massive vertical singularity opened through its body.

The creature's laugh distorted after Noah's attack had cut its mouth into two pieces. Still, the Devil soon noticed him again and decided to take the threat seriously.

The Devil raised its arm, but Noah punched it before it could discharge the dark-red energy. The limb shattered during the impact, but Noah felt as if he had attacked a pool of water.

His attack didn't stop the Devil. The creature barely noticed that it had lost an arm and continued its offensive. Its second limb began to rise, but Noah cut hit away with a clean slash.

The severed limbs exploded into clouds of chaotic laws that began to affect the world. Their influence triggered mutations in the environment and altered the correct functioning of the matter.

Noah memorized everything. He didn't let a single event escape his mind, and he even continued to attack the creature.

A flurry of punches came out of his figure and landed on the Devil's c.h.e.s.t. Night and Snore soon joined that fight, and multiple injuries appeared on the creature's body in less than a second.

The creature found countless holes in its c.h.e.s.t, missed all its limbs, and even its head appeared quite corroded. Still, it remained alive, and its aura didn't dwindle at all.

A wave of dark-red gas shot out of the Devil's mouth, but Noah didn't even bother to defend. He ate that energy and let his black hole handle the rest.

"Can you even die?" Noah asked before waving the Demonic Sword.

The head and the small chunk of the lower torso vanished after the attack. The singularities engulfed those body parts in an instant, but the Devil's aura didn't disappear even after that event.
