This was the first time Noah was using a Sword Domain attack against an opponent. He had only used this attack in practice before.
He knew that his opponent was a 5 Star Warrior but that didn't affect him much.
Noah had a rather strong spiritual sense. He noticed Gilbert's presence as soon as he appeared over this battlefield.
He understood that this was due to that whistle earlier. The whistle must have sent a special signal to Gilbert. It probably held an echo array or something similar.
Noah expected Gilbert to attack him after arriving on the battlefield. However, he never expected that this warrior would target the other members of the Heretical Paladins. Moreover, he actually launched an attack on Aria!
At that moment, Noah realized that holding back any more would be nothing more than foolishness! He couldn't be selfish any longer and used his Sword Domain immediately.
