"Bzzzz—!"
Vast, unimaginably surging magic power whirled continuously around Noah at the center of the Royal Palace plaza like a miniature tornado made tangible, filling the entire space with an indescribable oppression that ruthlessly weighed down on everyone's hearts.
Erza stared coldly and solemnly at Noah, who seemed to have become the eye of a typhoon. Her palms were already soaked with sweat.
Even so, Erza still gripped the Ten Commandments Lance tightly, then abruptly drew and spun it. The spear, turning into a shadow, instantly tore through the air and kicked up fierce gusts that sent scattered stones flying from the ground.
With its tip angled toward the ground, waves of dense magic power surged from the Magic Weapon in Erza's hand.
Yet compared to Noah's vast magic power, so dense it could form tangible gales, the magic power stored within Erza's Magic Weapon was pitifully scarce.
Faust's gaze toward Noah grew increasingly fervent and greedy, while the expressions of Erza, Lili, Hughes, and Hughes—the four captains of the Edolas Kingdom Army Magic Combat Unit—became increasingly grave. Hughes and Hughes's faces had even stiffened completely.
"What?" Noah's gaze swept over Erza, Lili, Hughes, and Hughes in turn as he sneered.
"Not coming at me?"
Seeing how effortlessly Noah handled the situation, not only Erza and Lili, but even Hughes and Hughes felt a measure of indignation and anger rising within them.
At this point, Erza and the others understood just how terrifying Noah truly was.
