The skies darkened and the ambient temperature plunged. The wind blew violently and the terrains saw a white layer coating their top.
Noah soon began to run above white lands, and snow fell from the sky above him. The temperatures of those regions were deadly low. Only tier 3's could properly handle it. Anything less and would die too quickly.
Being of the ice affinity, Noah had no problem being there. Heck, he felt comfortable in that environment. The white surface gave things a new vibe. He had gained the type of power that would allow him to traverse various landscapes and environments.
If he could feel gladness, it would be overflowing in his heart.
Miles upon miles of frozen andy snowy land areas unfolded in his blank gaze. Noah studied the environment and even a bit of its beasts, but he mainly focused on sprinting across the skies in search of a floating island.
His search would not be in vain since, after only a few minutes of rapid movement, Noah felt a weird aura reach his senses and he couldn't help but slow down,
His instinct picked up a presence, one he had not felt in such intensity but knew about.
"Only a really powerful magical beast can exude such an aura," he considered entering the range of the massive cloud, he could tell what was within it even if his mental waves were mostly restricted.
Noah traversed the insides of the cloud for what felt like hours, even if only minutes passed. Everything was completely dark within it, even if he knew the clouds were pure white.
Soon the sound of rumbling and crackling reached his ears and danger flowed into his head slowly.
A huge land mass appeared in his sight and Noah noticed how the temperature had greatly increased to one suitable for lower leveled individuals.
The flashing of lightning bolts reached his eyes, but so did the appearance of a figure.
Noah watched a certain presence enter his range of sight. The world stretched and he appeared within an environment separated from the city below. The pressure of the forceful teleportation slammed into his mind with full intensity, but he barely felt its power.
Golden buildings appeared in his eyes, while one bigger structure floated right at the center of the area.
Noah recognized that place to be the Grand-elders stayed, but only one person had noticed his arrival and approached him.
"Elder Adonis," Muttered Noah when both their figures arrived within that space.
His words startled the expert before him.
"You know me?' Elder Adonis' voice revealed his astonishment before he fell silent and inspected the person in front of him.
He had only reacted to the new presence thanks to the sensors he placed around the city, but now that he looked at Noah very well, his eyes widened in surprise.
Although Noah had been through a series of evolution he had mostly remained recognizable. In short, his features had only been amplified and not radically changed.
"I am the one you know as Aiden, Grand elder. A student of elder Sarah," Noah announced before the expert before could pick up memories from thirty years prior.
Elder Adonis being a man of stunning looks himself, fell into astonishment. His reaction time to that announcement had been practically instantaneous.
Taking a step back he inspected the man; if he could even call him that, before him.
Noah had grown vastly in power. So much so that only that reality was enough to make him unrecognizable.
His presence exuded deep danger, and although Elder Adonis stood at the very peak of the fourth tier he still felt the immensely strong middle-stage expert could hurt him.
"You're Sarah's student?" he asked unsure of that truth, even if his memory brought images of Noah's face and indeed the person before him was the one. He was simply more stunning and powerful. Very so.
Noah nodded in affirmation and elder Adonis fell into thought.
"But... You're dead," the expert found it hard to believe a person of his status would be in such a situation.
"It's a long story. But I escaped the chains of death and found myself somewhere far away from this place," Noah explained nodding his head a few times.
He placed his hand in his attire and separated the robe to allow visuals of his chest.
Elder Adonis gazed at that body part and saw the oath's manifestation, his eyes trembling at that point.
He felt ready to speak when an aura descended upon them and he looked up to see the figure of a person he knew too well.
"Grand elder Ezra," Noah bowed seeing the cyan-haired lady floating before their presence.
"Aiden!" She exclaimed in astonishment.
"Yes, grand elder," Noah responded not finding her surprise unexpected in the slightest.
"You're alive," She glanced between Adonis and the breathtaking young man before her.
"Yes I am, master," he nodded. "I have returned after many years to take my place in the guild and help it destroy the Order."
She fell silent at his words wondering how he even knew about all that. How did he even find them? But the current issue remained that a dead man stood before them. His presence lacked the attributes of a proper man. Or rather featured more. Speedlings were higher beings.
"Before we decided on anything let us get you up there," Elder Adonis explained and the Mater Ezra nodded in agreement.
They led him into the huge mansion closer to them and rather than the throne room, he was taken deeper into that mansion.
Although Elder Adonis hid it with expert proficiency, Noah could guess he was ready to go hostile and violent on him if required.
Noah silently followed them. He watched the huge pillars that held that place up, pass by as they went deeper and deeper into that grand structure.
He had an idea of what they planned to do, and he remained okay with it.
"Here," Elder Adonis gestured into the room they had reached. The door had opened the moment they arrived before it.
"I understand this is necessary. But I won't stay too long. I also have many things to do," Noah announced walking into the prepared prison room.
The moment he stepped in golden chains sprung out from within the room's golden walls and floors to latch onto his figure. Binding him in an instant.
Those magical chains held a durability only items within the fifth tier could wield.
