406. END

Noah closed his eyes to savor the feeling of his gained levels. Although he hated the fact that he was in the weird pending state, he couldn't ask for anymore. He was satisfied knowing that his advancement wasn't too far away from him.

The pillars of light and the magical circle beneath him shattered into motes of white light before disappearing into nothingness and he was able to open his eyes and focus on his surroundings again.

His eyes fell on the stunned figure of the sphere's humanoid portion.

"How did you do that?" Its voice rang out, and Noah could tell that it felt shocked.

"That was high-tier magic. The highest I've gazed at In my long life," it remarked, floating closer to Noah, who raised his hand with renewed confidence.

"I'll leave it to time to reveal it unto you," Noah declared keeping his laughter under wraps, but it seemed his joke didn't get across to the non-human.
