Chapter 75 75. LIE

Time seemed to stop for those present, in the span of a second, Noah became a tyrant among them. Each of their instincts told them that only death waited after a clash with the young man.

He immediately became unbeatable in their way eyes. "But...due to my not so bad mood, I'll give you a second chance. Drop your weapon or greet death," Noah explained.

Matthias who's hand had been frozen in its pointed position, immediately dropped his sword, as he took a step backwards. 'What the fuck. He was only at the bottom of tier 1 a few months ago,' He shouted inwardly.

"That's good...Now go away." Noah waved his hand. Truth be told he wished someone acted out of line, after all the leaderboard showed that Matthias's team was in 30th position.

The group of five did as they were told, though there was struggle on their expressions, they didn't dare act in anger.

Though before they could leave completely, a high pitched screech resounded in the environment, followed by thirty aura's, belonging to the peak stage!.

A stern expression appeared on everyone's face, not even Noah could escape the frown that everyone had immediately after.

Incredibly fast moving figures filled the sky above them. Noah was able to follow those movements, but wasn't inclined to help the opposing team, actually he did something that surprised everyone.

Appearing in front of a man who was the target of on of the thirty eagles, Noah punched the man's chest which directly exploded. 'Better to salvage as much as I can' Noah said inwardly, after all the man was as good as dead, if Noah wasn't there.

His team directly gained 200 points from the kill, elevating them to 49th position. Glancing at two who were about to tap the surrender button, Noah shook his head and decided to leave them, though the eagles would kill them before that time, his teammates were his priority.

Dashing back to them, Noah stood in their middle, while he cast one of his very powerful spells.

[Lightning Domain: Create a domain of lightning that covers a radius of 50meters around you. in your domain the damage of all lightning related skills are tripled. Cost 20% of total mp , duration 10 minutes, cool down 30 minutes]

A magic circle expanded above them, as a thin orange veil fell from the magic circle. Immediately that happened Noah found that he was totally in control of the area. Sparks began the flicker in the air, as all those including the other team, felt their hair stand due to the electrical energy in the very air they were breathing.

The thirty eagles entered the domain at that point, as Noah didn't waste time in casting lightning bolts.

Multiple magic circles appeared above the fast moving beasts as before they could get a bite out of anyone, lightning bolts the same size as their bodies fell on them.

A wave of surprise rushed through Noah's mind when he saw that the lightning bolt did not kill the creatures, but he didn't let that sight slow him down, since he cast lightning bolts again.

The exact same thing happening, it wasn't until Noah cast lightning bolts three more times did they die.

Noah felt weird at those notifications, he wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad, after all he had killed 30 peak tier Beast which only gave him 3 levels, and he was only in the middle stage!.

Ignoring the notifications for now, Noah swept his gaze on his immediate environment, then he clicked his tongue, he had accidentally saved the other team.

Everyone present didn't know what to say. It was either because Noah had just killed 30 beasts stronger than him, or because his team had jumped to 15th position.

"Let's go," Noah eventually said to his teammates after the two that activated the teleport function of the hand bands, had disappeared.

They silently agreed, as they saw Noah in a new light, 'Incredibly strong,' each of them said Inwardly, not even James escaped that feeling.

Noah heaved a sight after a few tens of minutes of not hearing anyone's voice, so he decided to address the matter.

"I hope you all aren't seeing me as someone who can do impossible things, because I can't," Noah shook his head, while his audience raised an eyebrow at his words.

'What the heck is he talking about, he has done what is considered Impossible twice, and he's asking us to not see him that way, when he's actually monster,' Steve said inwardly.

Seeing that no one replied, Noah was about to say something when he got cut short. "Who exactly are you," Kayla said. "How can you do things like that?. Are you hiding your true cultivation level?. Or you are just not normal," she added.

"She's right, we'd really like to know who you really are, or else you'll break our courage with your abnormal achievements," Mark nodded.

Noah was at loss of what to do, his shot a 'i need help,' glance at James who simply shook his head in response.

Noah could only heave another sigh, at that point, "Honestly I'm really not someone special," Noah lied. "I'm actually just hiding my cultivation level," he lied again as a sweet plan formed in his head.

Multiple gasps resounded in the area, as Noah found that Matthias and his lover were behind his team.

"How.... When, is that even possible!," James stuttered, while Noah only nodded his head, and turned to face the direction they were moving towards, though James didn't buy the lie one bit.

"With that done, I guess we can leave the whole thing for the maybe later" Noah said, as smug smile appeared on his hidden face.

They all nodded, and dashed forward before he even moved. Glancing at Matthias team of two, Noah's voice rang out, "You can follow, but don't disturb," he said dashing towards his teammates, and catching up immediately.

"Are you sure!," Lilia said in a worried tone. "Yes...He may be a low life, but he has the power to make us succeed in this stage, we just have to follow closely, and steal a few targets," Matthias grinned, as the two dashed forward.

The group ran for multiple minutes, as the remained in the top 20 throughout that period, Noah himself finalising his plan.

He had lied about hiding his cultivation level, since it would allow him level up in peace and actually reach the higher stage of tier 2, which would speeden up his advancement to tier 3, the only problem was the powerful audience watching, and James.

Noah couldn't help but realize that he had gotten smarter than his first day on Cregar. He had intentionally shown a bit of his powers, without really revealing his speed force, which was basically his main strength.

To the world he was just a strange tier 2 expert who had two elements, and was recently found to have been in the peak stage. Although the VIPs probably knew that he was lying. If he was ever asked he'd simply say he was fast at cultivating.

Although only the first day was about to end, Noah and some others had gained the attention of multiple VIPs, and even some of the normal audiences, as within the VIP area, multiple conversations able to change the lives of most individuals were going on.
