Noah didn't hesitate for even an instant. As soon as the raw laws entered his mind's range, his legs kicked the air to make him sprint toward that light.
His experience as a lone cultivator allowed him to act before the Royals, but they reacted rather quickly too at that sudden event.
Noah reached the lump of raw laws in less than a second, and he stretched his hand toward that white sphere of light to seize it. He didn't know how to absorb that resource, but he trusted his body to handle that part.
However, a fireball landed on his arm right before he could close his fingers around the sphere. The explosion that followed pushed the raw laws away and made Noah lose his chance to seize them.
The Royals appeared in that spot immediately after the explosion, but Noah had already shot forward to go after the raw laws.
He didn't care about the two powerhouses. Killing them in a mission where King Elbas was the leader wasn't ideal. Also, the raw laws were more important than that.
