Noah didn't want to fight.
He was in an unknown territory that the three big nations had explored for more than four years, there were simply too many variables that he couldn't possibly be aware of.
Yet, the woman from the Papral nation didn't want to let him go, she chased and attacked him through the western coastline.
Noah's companions were far away, it would take them at least one day of full-speed flight to reach him, and that was only in Elder Duke and Elder Morgan's case.
The others were over the lava lake on the southern coast, and there was no way that Elder Austin and the others with a fire aptitude could come in his aid anytime soon.
Noah was left with two options: Either use all his abilities to escape the pursuit or fight!
The issue with the first option was that he would most likely reveal his identity and, consequently, the involvement of the Hive in the exploration of the new continent.
