Thanks to the memories he gained from inheriting Ersha's blood, Noah realized the unique nature of the bodies of Speedlings.
Due to their unique disposition. Speedlings were naturally incapable of being hurt with mere physical attacks.
Their bodies were made from a special essence. Although there were variations and certain exceptions. For Noah who now held the title of an original Speedling that rule applied more to him.
Unless other things were at play, Noah would be immune to physical attacks.
Elemental attacks were capable of hurting him since they originated from the soul realm. But elemental attacks or physical attacks became even more potent when Soul energy was infused.
Upon arrival into the fourth tier. A new type of energy became available to humans. Soul energy.
A small but highly potent energy source that could be infused into both physical or elemental attacks.
