Chapter 497

"Noa... making friends with you is the decision I will never regret."

"Turn into mincemeat, you brat!!"

The warhammer fell, shaking the earth.

The entire forest trembled because of this powerful blow.

This hammer blow is enough to kill any S-rank dangerous species. Adam has always been ruthless and decisive in his actions, and he will not show mercy just because the other party is only a teenager.

"Hehe... hahahaha—finally dead, you brat, I—wait... no, that's not right."

The feel is still off.

"It's been a long time since I've been out and about to stretch my muscles."

Behind her, Noa's voice mingled with the tone of a mature Queen, drifting softly over.

Adam slowly turned around.

A white figure slowly emerged from the thick fog.

People often say that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity.

"I just witnessed true feelings, but I still don't quite understand them."

"I plan to question this kid more thoroughly later."

"So she can't die now."

The powerful magical energy dispersed the surrounding fog, revealing the sun shining through the gloom.

Noa slightly opened her five fingers, then suddenly clenched her fist, and white energy ripples spread out around her.

"Also, here's a piece of advice for you, you clown with the hammer."

"Never push your opponent into a corner."

"Because..."

"Those who are desperate are invincible."

Snap—

She clasped her hands together, and pure white flames shot straight into the sky, her aura holy and sublime, like an angel descending.

"Let's go, Noa!!"

Fantastic news! Fantastic news!

66 Lightning and Fire

Adam looked at the girl in front of him, who was completely different from the one who had just fled in panic.

Her originally silver and black hair had turned pure white, with only a faint trace of pure black at the ends. Her hair swayed gently with the magical energy waves, as if floating in water.

The corners of her eyes seemed to be covered with a light layer of pure white eyeshadow, and her pupils were different colors, one blue and one white.

Of course, the change in appearance was not the most important thing. Adam noticed that the power she was emanating was very different from that of conventional magic.

Adam frowned, observed carefully, and then muttered to himself.

"Is it a power completely opposite to the Black Dragon Scale that 'Shadow' gave me... Hmph, interesting."

With that, he brandished his warhammer and roared, "Then let me see if your new form is just a bluff!!"

"Thank you, Noah."

"You insisted on holding on until the very last moment before asking me for help. Do you really like showing off?"

"No, you said before the assessment started that you didn't want to use your power because it might be detected by the minions of 'Ultimate Fear'. That's why I haven't asked you for help."

"... You silly girl."

That was indeed the reason why Noah couldn't easily intervene, but it didn't mean she would really stand idly by when this little girl's life was at stake.

The ancestor never expected that Noa would actually be so focused on hiding the Primal Power, and that even when struggling to the very last moment, she would not ask for her help.

"Well, never mind. I have a lot of questions to ask you and a lot to say to you, but it's better to deal with the current problem first."

"Um."

"Let me warn you first, because you just forcibly used the Gate of Nine Hells multiple times, your body is already operating beyond its limits, and my Primal Power is also putting considerable pressure on your body. So you can only use this form of power release for ten minutes."

After a pause, Noah added in a low voice, "Perhaps even shorter."

"Okay, I understand."

Having broken free of consciousness, Adam charged forward, wielding his warhammer.

But at this moment, his movements, which were originally as swift as the wind, seemed to slow down in Noa's eyes.

She could see Adam's attacks clearly and react appropriately with her body.

The warhammer slammed down towards Noa's face.

Boom!--

The hammer fell to the ground, stirring up the soil and dispersing the thick fog.

But it did not harm Noa in the slightest.

Adam looked up and saw the small white figure leap high into the air, raising its hand to gather Lightning magic.

Suddenly, sharp bird calls echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Lightning Rush... Ha, idiot, Lightning Rush at this close range can't exert its power at all. It seems you have the power but don't know how to use it."

However, Noa did not unleash the condensed Lightning Rush at Adam.

She landed lightly on Adam's warhammer, her feet slightly apart, one in front of the other, her posture upright and elegant.

His left hand hung naturally at his sides, while his right hand held Lightning Rush.

The blue lightning illuminated her cold little face as she stared directly at Adam, her eyes showing no fear.

"You brat, it's one thing to gather Lightning Rush at close range, but you don't even dare to unleash it. What a coward."

Noa remained unmoved, continuing to pour her power into the Lightning Rush.

The birdsong grew increasingly shrill and piercing.

"With the blessing of the Primal Power, your Lightning Rush will have an even more terrifying explosive force. Even at close range, this clown with the hammer wouldn't dare to take it head-on."

The old ancestor said, "You can act with confidence."

"Wait a little longer, it's not enough."

"Not enough? What's not enough?"

Before Noa could answer, Adam picked up his warhammer and forcibly drove her away.

Noa used the momentum to perform a standard backflip and landed smoothly.

The Lightning Rush in her hand still burned brightly, continuing to emit light and sound.

"You brat, you're so noisy!!"

Annoyed by the Lightning Rush bird calls, Adam swung his warhammer with great force and hurled it at Noa once more.

Noa's choice remained to dodge, showing absolutely no intention of attacking.

She dodged a few times, pulling the battlefield to a distance so that the aftershocks of her fight with Adam wouldn't harm Helena.

Adam also picked up his hammer and gave chase.

The enormous warhammer was several times larger than Noa's entire body, but it appeared so cumbersome in the face of her agile movements.

After several rounds, Adam seemed to have discovered something.

"Damn brat... you never intended to use Lightning Rush to attack in the first place!"

Noa landed slowly on a boulder, her tone steady and her voice cool.

"You finally figured it out, you big oaf."

"What... what did you call me?"

"Hey big oaf, don't you like it? How about 'The Clown with the Hammer'?"

Roar!!

A furious Dragon Roar reignited Adam's anger.

Seeing this, Noa smiled with satisfaction.

Actually, she initially thought that she absolutely could not anger the dragon king.

But now, that idiot has been driven crazy by Noa, and Noa has a way to save her life, so she naturally doesn't need to be on guard against her opponent's emotions all the time.

On the contrary, she could use this to make the monster even more vulnerable.

At this point, someone asked:

Princess Noa, Princess Noa, you are usually so taciturn, how did you suddenly manage to break through your opponent's defenses?

The academy never taught anyone to give their opponents nicknames in battle.

Therefore, there is only one answer:

General Leon: That's right, it is I!

Within the consciousness space, after hearing Adam say, "You never intended to use Lightning Rush Strike to attack in the first place," the ancestor understood Noa's intentions.

"You wanted to use the Lightning Rush's chirping to attract the attention of the teachers and students outside. And accidentally provoking Adam to start yelling would just help you achieve your goal, right?"

Noa nodded.

"Because you said that this form of power release can only last for ten minutes at most, but I'm not confident that I can take care of that guy in ten minutes. So, as far as possible, we should stick to the original idea: attract attention from the outside and get them to come and provide support."

Upon hearing this, Juan Wang did not complain, nor did she fall back into despair. She simply replied calmly,

"Then I will try to make a lot of noise during this time so that it is easier for the teachers and students outside to hear it."

Even though she gained unparalleled Primal Power for a moment, Noa did not become arrogant.

This is something that many people cannot do.

Especially for a five or six-year-old child, being restless and impatient is a characteristic that should exist at their age, but Noa is able to stay true to herself.

The ancestor was quite satisfied with her words.

Who says I can't draw cards in Dragon Race?

This King slept for thousands of years, and when I opened my eyes, I was given a top-tier host!

"But we can't use that trick again; Adam has noticed. The real battle is about to begin," Noa said.

"Okay. Don't underestimate yourself in your current state, Noa. Just go for it."

"Um."

Detaching from the realm of consciousness.

Noa slowly opened her eyes, and a powerful white wave of energy spread outwards.

Round two, begin!

Adam charged at her with his hammer, but Noa easily dodged with her agile movements.

The Lightning Rush, which had been building up for a long time, was finally unleashed at this moment.

Adam sensed the immense power contained within this Lightning Rush.

Since it is a power completely opposite to the Black Dragon Scale of 'Shadow', it is best not to take it head-on.
