Chapter 77

They looked at each other and, after each of them nodded, swords in hand, the three of them ran towards the girl. One of the swords was already very close to her, passing silently behind Noah and heading towards her. But seeing that scene at a glance, the woman quickly got up and prepared to attack him.

However, with her heavy body she fell to her knees on the ground after having her heart pierced by a sword that came from behind.

"AUNT!!" Ting yelled as he abruptly stood up.

And seeing that the girl's uncle quickly attacked that man. With his open palm, as he slowly turned it, he attacked the man's side. But already knowing that that attack would come, the man dropped his sword and quickly put both his arms in front of the attack, so that he could defend himself.

However, the attack was so powerful that it broke his arms, his ribs, and destroyed all of his internal organs. Then, after having received the attack, that man flew out of the house, while breaking the wall beside him and then hitting a tree that was near the house.

**********

"Shit!" Noah thought, after he heard Ting's scream, he looked at the woman and saw that she had been attacked.

Then, after he heard that scream, Noah got scared and got up quickly as he pushed his chair back. And in doing so, Noah unwittingly hindered the man with his sword going towards the girl right behind him.

And thanks to Noah having disturbed him, because the chair he pushed back caught that man's legs and, that made him lose a little of his balance. The attack that should have been fatal for the girl only made a small cut on her arm.

Upon noticing the cut, Ting, frightened, quickly took a few steps back, thus stepping away from the man. The man, on the other hand, annoyed to know that he missed that attack because of Noah, while slowly raising his sword he said "Oh you…"

But on hearing your other partner yell "Focus!" while wrestling with the girl's uncle, and had his sword held by him, even though he himself had his bare hands. The man thought, 'So you mean he really was telling the truth… in the end, this really is a suicide mission…'

Then, after he had thought that, moving his sword quickly he made a deep cut in Noah's belly, and then kept going towards the girl, while Noah's blood continuously dripped from the tip of the sword's blade.

As Noah leaned against the edge of the table and pressed where the cut on his stomach was, he muttered "That bastard…"

And even though her life was at risk at the moment, Ting was strangely worried about a boy she had just met and her aunt, whom she hadn't even spoken to in years. But she couldn't lose focus at that moment, because even though she was worried about those people, there wasn't much she could do, as being in the first stage of the tempered body, even when compared to Noah, there would already be a huge gap between them. . So imagine this man in front of you, who attacked him and he didn't even have a reaction time.

Then, seeing that man was approaching her, as he narrowly deflected the blade impregnated with a strong IQ that was coming towards her shoulder, her uncle shouted "Stop!!"

But not caring about that, the man began to slowly raise his sword as he continued to approach the girl. And even though she wanted to run, or even try to dodge that attack, her legs weren't moving anymore, so when she closed her eyes she seemed to have just accepted what was to come next.

And seeing that her uncle being in despair continued, "I'll give you O double what was promised, triple, no, four times as much. So get away from her!"

But he saw that those words hadn't worked, so even though he wasn't sure it would work, he left his hand wrapped around his own IQ and tried to stop the sword attack coming towards her head. However, that didn't work and, the hand he used to try to defend the attack ended up being cut in half, (Gritting his teeth) leaving now only a single finger, his thumb.

However, the loss of that finger was not completely useless, for using the mere instant that man stood still after he finally landed a blow, he gathered a vast amount of IQ in his other hand and, with a single punch, did a big hole in that man's chest. And as he turned around shouting "Ting!" almost instantly after having launched the attack on that man, the girl's uncle was certainly startled by what he saw and, muttered "What's this...".

*********

With his eyes closed, Ting expected a quick and painless death, but hearing someone mutter "Me…loose…" next to her, even though she was afraid she opened her eyes and looked to know what was going on.

And what she saw was, Noah who was technically supposed to be severely wounded, holding that man's sword in his hand and, O standing up as he slowly squeezed his neck and with his own glowing blue said "How dare you human. Don't try to fight anymore, as her time has run out from the moment she hurt this body."

So was Ting, who was much more scared than before when her life was at risk. Seeing that scene, her uncle couldn't move and after muttering "What's this..." he was speechless and, completely paralyzed seeing that scene.

As Noah slowly tightened his grip on the man's neck, in the few moments he let the air return to his lungs, horrified that man tried everything to get free, he tried to take Noah's hand with all his strength, he tried even pushes it. But even with all that effort, he clearly wasn't succeeding.

As he looked deeply into that man's eyes and saw that he was truly horrified, Noah closed his eyes and said, "(Sigh) ...I think it's good enough..."

After having said that, he then gripped the sword that was in his hand and after breaking it. Noah took the broken part and then said "Now feel some of the annoying pain from this blade."

And after saying that, he put the tip of the sword in the belly of that man and, after making it light up in a strange whitish flame, Noah slowly stuck that piece of sword inside his belly.

As the sword entered his body, the man felt an excruciating pain and while shouting "Aaaaaaahh !!" he tried to grab the sword and stop Noah from pushing it further inside. But what he achieved by doing this was to make that strange flame pass to his hands and completely consume his arms and, soon after, his body. Except for her head and her neck, which was where Noah was holding him.

"Aaaaaaahhh!"

The girl couldn't stand to see that scene, so she closed her eyes and with her hands covered her ears. As she crouched on the floor and in whispers she asked Noah to stop it.

Then after a few minutes the man stopped screaming and at that exact moment Noah looked directly into his eyes, which began to slowly close. And when they closed completely, Noah opened his hand and dropped the man's now lifeless corpse.

But the moment he released him, that flame covered his entire body and before he could touch the ground, nothing of him was left there.
