Chapter 174: New Fate Holder - Aldric
Although Noan knew that using magic would be detected by the City's Protective Dome, at this moment, he could no longer afford to think too much.
Maya was in danger; she had been taken by the government, which was certainly related to Santoro's experiment.
"Compatibility reaching 100% with the energy reactor."
After hearing that statement, Noan was fully aware that Maya's outcome would definitely not be good if the government took her away.
Therefore, Noan took the risk and used his "Space" talent to shorten the time.
"Master, feel free to use your magic; I will help you conceal it." At that moment, Malrik's voice echoed in his mind. "However, time is short, so we need to act quickly."
"Thank you, Malrik," Noan silently said in his heart.
Then, he continuously used teleportation magic, and in less than a minute, he saw a narrow highway cutting across an open area with no houses or structures.
On either side of the road were only utility poles and vacant lots covered with grass and trees, resembling a forest.
"Master." Vylyss suddenly spoke up. "Be careful; the person ahead seems very strong, and I can sense their threat."
Hearing this, Noan looked toward the person riding a motorcycle at the head of the convoy moving along the road.
The person was not wearing a helmet, so Noan could see that it was a young man with black hair and a handsome face like a Greek statue.
He wore a white outfit with a white cloak draped over his back, carrying the symbol of the Royal Family.
What was particularly noteworthy was that there were five small stars around the Royal Family emblem.
Noan recognized the significance of the five stars as soon as he saw them. After all, he had studied the ranks of the Royal Guards at the academy.
A five-star rank represented a Lord of rank A, with the lowest level rank 4 and the highest rank 8.
"A Lord rank A?" Noan was slightly startled upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that escorting a government convoy would involve the appearance of a rank A Lord, especially one who was a Royal Guard with a five-star rank.
However, Noan had no other choice but to save Maya.
He donned his Mythical attire for his class, covering his entire appearance, and then proceeded with his actions.
As the convoy was moving, suddenly, the young man riding the motorcycle at the head of the convoy furrowed his brow, looked into the distance, and smiled, muttering to himself, "Looks like there are a few fearless rats causing trouble."
"Good, it's been a while since I've had a proper workout. I hope you don't die too quickly."
At that moment, a fireball with a diameter of over one meter, glowing blue-green, shot toward the convoy at bullet-like speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireball skimmed along the road, tearing it up wherever it passed, leaving a deep, arc-shaped groove in its wake.
"Huh!" The young man sneered, holding a lance in his hand, and threw it toward the fireball.
Whoosh!
A sharp wind sounded as the lancer flew from his hand, speeding toward the fireball with tremendous velocity.
BAM!
The lancer collided with the fireball, causing a massive explosion. The deafening blast echoed through the entire area, followed by a flash of blinding light.
Like a furious storm, the shockwave blasted outward, causing the convoy to halt.
"Captain Aldric, what's going on?" someone from the group quickly asked.
"Find cover. This fight isn't for you," Aldric said with a smile.
He stepped off the vehicle, extending his hand forward, and the lancer from earlier flew back toward him, where he caught it firmly in his grasp.
Seeing the explosion before them, everyone shuddered and immediately obeyed Aldric's command, staying out of the fight.
After all, the battles of high-rank Lords were no different from nuclear disasters, and they didn't want to get caught up in such a terrifying war.
"Surround and protect the vehicle; don't let anyone get near," Aldric ordered.
"Understood, Captain," everyone responded in unison.
They then armed themselves and positioned themselves around the container truck in the middle.
At that moment, a shadow appeared on top of the container truck.
Yes, it was Noan.
He had only used the fireball to mislead them about his position.
He wasn't in front but always close to the truck carrying the people.
While Aldric was focused on the front, Noan immediately approached the truck. However, he couldn't teleport inside because there was a magical seal around the vehicle.
The seal was very powerful, preventing him from teleporting in to save Maya.
"Ah! This rat knows how to use Space magic?"
"Hm?!" Noan was startled when he heard Aldric's voice right next to him.
He turned around and saw a handsome face with a 'friendly' smile looking at him.
Whoosh!
The tip of the lancer was less than 10 cm from Noan's head. In that brief moment, Noan's nervous system tensed like a bowstring.
He used all his strength and reflexes, activating his "Space" talent.
Noan instantly disappeared, and the sharp tip of the lancer plunged into the air, the sound of the whistling wind echoing loudly.
A spiral vortex of green light shot out like a drill, racing off into the distance.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
The loud explosions rang out as the vortex drill tore through everything in its path, even splitting large tree trunks.
It then collided with a massive stone, exploding in a blast resembling the simultaneous detonation of ten tons of TNT.
Although the explosion wasn't huge, if one looked closely, they would see the incredible piercing power of the spiral drill as it tore through everything in its way.
The stone shattered, and the ground was pierced, creating a deep pit tens of meters wide, with cracks spreading like a spider's web.
Noan reappeared, but he hid among the bushes this time, feeling a sense of fear deep within.
Even more surprising was that he saw a notification board from the System appear in front of him.
[Ding! A new 'Fate Holder' was detected. Please check the 'Fate Holder List' for more information.]
Noan took a deep breath as he saw the notification. He immediately opened the 'Fate Holder List,' and sure enough, there was new information about a 'Fate Holder.'
…

…
Noan stared wide-eyed at Aldric's three S-rank talents.
Not only was Aldric a Fate Holder, but he also possessed numerous S-rank talents, and on top of that, he was a rank A Lord at level 7.
Moreover, his talents further complemented his class, which was the truly terrifying part.
We don't even need to mention what it means to have the Traveler Class.
It's enough to know that by choosing this Class, the Lord would no longer be a Lord but a Traveler, walking alone on the path of the future.
However, Aldric's talents enhanced his solo combat abilities, which made Noan begin to feel anxious.
"This isn't good!" Noan suddenly realized the implications of Aldric's "Aerial Knight" talent.
This talent could help Aldric lock down an enemy within a vast range.
Noan jerked back, looking up just in time to see a vortex of green light, like a drill, hurtling toward him.
He quickly activated his "Space" talent to teleport to another location.
BAM!
In an instant, Noan disappeared, and the spot where he had been standing exploded, creating a hole identical to the one formed by the earlier vortex drill.
Noan reappeared, but before he could gather his thoughts, he shuddered, a chill running down his spine. His senses screamed that he was about to die.
He didn't have time to think, immediately teleporting again and vanishing again.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless sharp sounds of whistling wind filled the air, and many green wind blades cut through everything in their path.
The trees around him fell like soft sponge cakes, sliced into countless pieces by the wind blades, collapsing to the ground.
"Ah! Space magic, huh? It's the first time I've seen this kind of talent," Aldric said, standing atop the container truck, holding his lancer.
With the sunset light behind him, he appeared like an undefeatable war god.
"I don't know why you're attacking me, but facing the Federation and Empire is a foolish choice."
"I'm quite intrigued by your talent. Why don't you join the government and the Empire? With your abilities, I'm sure you'd be given a cloak of pride like mine."
What do you think?
