Noah had completely regained his composure and no longer pursued the traceless Darren.
Golden blades formed from blood materialized around him, constantly accumulating the power in his veins, planning to kill most of his enemies in an instant.
Although the surrounding Extraordinary Exponents were attacking vigorously, those blood-formed blades automatically defended Noah, blocking most of the attacks.
Even the few attacks that did reach him were utterly meaningless.
Soon, five golden blades formed from blood appeared around Noah, each filled with destructive power, capable of easily killing any Extraordinary Exponent below Monarch Level!
However, just as Noah was about to launch his attack, he suddenly sensed that something was amiss.
His body began to petrify without warning!
Darren, wearing an Iron Mask, approached him, looking imposing. He stared at the immobilized Noah, watching as each golden blade turned to stone, fell to the ground, and shattered.
