Birth of the Demonic Sword
chapter-2095

'Help?' Noah thought as a bit of surprise filled his mind. 'From me?'

"Which dragons?" Noah growled to make sure that the ferrets really meant the four upper tier specimens.

The middle tier ferret dooked a few times to describe the dragons' appearance and levels. Noah's doubts vanished after that explanation. The ferret depicted the four upper tier specimens clearly and in great detail. It had actually met the leaders of the magical beasts' side.

"Noah?" June called, but Noah didn't say anything as he fell deep into his thoughts.

Noah and June had spent a long time traveling through the weak sky. He didn't even dare to count the years that had passed since their reunion. Yet, that still felt too soon. The final battle couldn't begin without causing massive changes in the world.

'Is this a trap?' Noah wondered. 'No, impossible. I would have felt it. Also, Heaven and Earth don't deal with the magical beasts.'

Confirming that the ferret's words were valid turned out to be almost immediate. However, there was a pressing issue that left Noah doubtful about the nature of the crisis. He was strong, incredibly strong for his level, but the dragons' side had four upper tier specimens. Even he would struggle to match something so powerful.

'Why did they ask for me even?' Noah wondered. 'This doesn't make any sense.'

"Can you lead us there?" Noah eventually asked.

"A long time has already passed," The middle tier ferret explained.

The timeline vaguely made sense. Noah and June had gone a long time without meeting anyone, so the dragons had the chance to send a message in that period.

"How am I supposed to find them without directions?" Noah questioned, but the ferret didn't know what to answer.

"Noah?" June repeated since she sensed the gravity of the situation.

"We must find the dragons," Noah quickly summarized.

"How?" June asked. She knew how difficult it was to find someone in that environment. There was almost no one who could have a complete understanding of the area.

Noah inevitably thought about the orange city. King Elbas might have developed something useful, but Noah didn't know how to find him. Instead, the orange city sent hidden messages from time to time, and he had already learnt how to hear them.

'The orange city again,' Noah sighed as he made his consciousness converge on the ferrets.

His mind studied the magical beasts' bodies and their uniqueness before developing fake cores that suited them perfectly. The seeds flew in front of the creatures, and a simple glare from his side was enough to make them eat them.

"I guess it's time to taste their lightning bolts," June announced as a smirk appeared on her face.

Noah shook his head at the sight of his smiling lover. June knew basically everything that he had seen during his travels. She could connect his expression with a possible solution, which led her to think about the orange city.

"You can go," Noah casually growled as dark matter covered his figure.

Noah hadn't heard the orange city's messages for a long time, and his dark matter didn't improve the issue. Still, he only needed to glance at June to make her understand that they had to travel in the hope of picking up something coming from the old rulers.

The two resumed their travels but at a far faster pace than before. Noah and June had something that resembled a mission now, and they couldn't wait to join it.

Noah couldn't sense anything even after years passed. The constant flight found a short break when the two encountered another pack of magical beasts assaulted by Tribulations. June dealt with the lightning bolts, and Noah created the fake cores, but the following investigation didn't lead anywhere. Those creatures didn't know anything about the message from the dragons.

Doubts inevitably appeared in Noah and June's minds, but they became complicated when they met another pack of magical beasts. The latter had heard the message, but they didn't say anything about the dragons' current position.

Similar scenes happened in the following years. Noah and June flew at high speed and questioned every magical beast they found. Some knew about the message, while others were completely unaware of the matter. The weak sky could explain that oddity, but Noah and June still believed that something was off.

A change happened when Noah finally sensed something through the layer of dark matter over his figure. A faint voice tried to reach his ears, but everything remained too unclear to understand the contents of the message or its source.

"They changed the structure of their hidden communications," Noah concluded after inspecting the voice for a while.

Noah and June stopped flying after that realization. They waited for him to modify the membrane of dark matter and make it able to hear those messages clearly. The process took a while since the old rulers seemed to have gone all-out with that new approach, but he eventually succeeded.

The message was nothing more than a summoning. The old rulers were trying to call all the improved magical beasts dispersed among the weak sky. Still, that was enough for Noah. He could find the source of the voice now, and he didn't hesitate to lead the way.

Noah and June flew even faster than before now that they had a target. They prepared questions and escape plans during the travel since they didn't know what expected them in the orange city and with the dragons. The unknown reason behind that request for help worried the two, but they moved forward anyway.

The answers arrived even before reaching the orange city. Noah and June saw a vast empty area unfolding in their vision after he felt close to the source of the message. The weak sky had shattered there, but the fabric of space still resisted the various shockwaves that tried to destabilize it.

An orange glow shone from a distant spot of the empty area, but the scene unfolding at its center soon claimed Noah and June's complete attention. They could see the four upper tier dragons there, but they were busy fighting each other.

The death dragon was at the center of a joint assault from its three companions. The latter weren't using deadly force, but they still launched powerful attacks meant to suppress the creature.

Meanwhile, the death dragon was going all-out. Its black flames killed everything in its surroundings, and its speed wasn't something that its companions could match. Cracks in the fabric of space expanded as the creature flew everywhere, making it impossible for the other upper tier specimens to corner it.

"Were they always like this?" June couldn't help but ask in front of that majestic display of power.

"Something is wrong," Noah commented. "They would never fight each other before the final battle. All of them hold the time dragon in too high regard to fight it willingly."

"Defying Demon!" The time dragon roared when it noticed the two figures that had appeared in the distance. "Come and help us. I'm afraid my companion has reached its limits."

"I don't think you can join this," Noah stated. "You know, dragon stuff."

"That's a pity," June voiced while a wide smile appeared on her face. "I would have loved to join the fight."

"Maybe another time," Noah chuckled before shooting forward and appearing in the dragons' range.

"Quick," The time dragon didn't hesitate to add after Noah arrived on the scene. "Heaven and Earth have tricked it. We must bring it back to its senses."
