UNLIMITED SPEED

After the explosion within the attack eventually died off there was great silence. Everyone had seen the black figure leave and the effects it had resulted in. But after Sir Glee, Elder Malachi and his group searched and did not find the orb they concluded that the worse had happened.

Someone had successfully stolen the item from under their noses. And their power was clearly above theirs.

Even Noah gauged that the power of the thing or individual would have at least needed to be in the higher stage to leave that type of effect on the mass of unfolding energy.

Things were getting more serious than he thought.

If the person returned, they could wipe out the entire group. And would do it easily. He wasn’t in for that type of trouble.

Elder Malachi and Sir Glee came to the same conclusion and quickly resumed their journey.

Needless to say, real tension and danger fell on the group after the event. The fear of suddenly being attacked by a higher-stage cultivator hung upon them as they sped forward.

It took a while for them to fly out of the range of the destroyed region. Noah really began to wonder if higher-level experts were that careless and uncaring of the environment.

Hundreds of miles after, settlement began to appear and soon a grand city unfolded in Noah’s incredulous gaze.

Unlike the cities he had been to, the central city didn’t feature that many tall buildings, but one, in particular, stood out.

It was gigantic, at least a few hundred kilometers in sheer size.

The glass-like palace stretching towards the sky would be the first thing anyone would notice when they arrived at the city. The three-peaked building itself was tall and massive, but the huge walls that divided it from the rest of the city were even more expansive. Its compound was also its grandest attribute.

The walls of the city were round and made of huge silvery crystalline material that was denser and sturdier than some metals. It circled the whole city which was many miles in radius

The same crystal created arcs that connected the immense palace in the distance with the walls.

There were ten of them and they held a purpose Noah knew nothing off.

The city had an aura of its own and it was nothing like he had ever experienced. Most especially the palace. It quickly felt incredulous. He couldn’t tell but it was actually beyond the fifth tier.

The party of 115 flying beasts curved downwards before Noah could get a complete view.

They had dived towards the ground even if they were still a few kilometers from reaching the city’s gate.

The event startled him, but he could only bear it.

“I’ve only been here once,” Madison broke the silence, pulling their attention towards her. “It’s still as beautiful as I remember,” she added gazing intently at the immense palace gradually becoming taller as they descended.

Tall trees appeared around them at that point, as the huge beasts landed on the path that led to the city.

The road was tard and wide enough to accommodate three of the huge beasts.

A march towards the city began at that point. Many other paths spread out around them but they stayed on that one.

Noah even caught sight of bridges telling how advanced that place was.

In less than twenty minutes the crystalline wall closed up on them, and only then did Noah understand how tall it was.

From his point of view, the palace was completely blocked. He could only begin to wonder how high they had been in the sky.

The tier 4 guards at the gate welcomed the party. Commander Glee and Elder Malachi seemed to be popular even among those guards so they were let in quickly.

There were pressing matters to tend to. 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

Noah felt his excitement peak when they crossed the silver gate to arrive inside the city’s walls.

A different air rushed into his nostrils. He felt its quality and was surprised at how unique air could be. It felt fresher within the walls of the city, and that was probably due to the barrier even he couldn’t sense.

The view of the palace from that distance and point of view was nothing short of stunning. That thing was the grandest structure he had laid eyes on since he got to Cregar.

The chattering of people filled his ears as their party traveled down the street. He was shocked to realize that the scene left no impression on the people. They simply gave them one glace and seemed to forget about them.

Sure their numbers were a bit, but tier 4 beasts were not exactly rare.

The road led to a huge bridge that crossed over; closer to the palace. Noah could tell that that was their destination.

Apart from the beauty of the city and the high power level, Noah could only anticipate the palace more.

His eyes barely left the glass structure.

It glimmered and reflected multicolored light from the sun. Noah already wanted to get a nighttime view of the structure.

Soon the sight of brown armored men unfolded in their eyes after they had spent a bit over an hour marching down the bridge. He wondered why they didn’t just fly.

He asked Madison and according to her, the beasts were unable to fly within the city. Not because of a rule, but because of the pressure that existed in the city. It was a result of a high-tier spell that left even tier 5 beasts unable to take flight.

The revelation had been stunning. All experts under the sixth tier were reduced to normal humans. Having to walk. He gained an idea why experts who had been there would want to fly all they could in the outside world.

A wide glass-like wall eventually unfolded in their sights, and Noah sighted individuals in crimson red armors.

They arrived before the gate and Elder Malachi got off his carriage as he was at the forefront of the group.

His mood was bad and the armored individuals sensed it.

Barely two hours in the central city of Elidra, Noah was already allowed passage into its wondrous castle.
