"Welcome to the Beginning and End World."
Noah heard those words in his mind, and his instincts screamed danger before he could even open his eyes. He moved to the side, dodging at the last second a warrior in white armor that rose into the sky.
Noah took his weapon to fight against the white warrior, but he saw that he was not this one's target.
Just as the white warrior rose in the sky, another in black armor descended. Each had nothing but pure killing intent in their heart toward their enemy.
Noah saw how the white warrior pierced the chest of the black one with a sword, and he thought that was all, but he was wrong.
The black warrior bit toward its enemy's neck with so much strength that blood splashed everywhere.
"AHHH!" A scream of pain emerged from the white warrior, but it did not let go of its sword and pushed it up, splitting the black warrior in half.
Noah's eyes widened as he saw that level of savagery. He had never seen a battle like that, where the desire to kill the other party mattered more than your own life.
He then saw the white warrior with blood leaking from its open neck turning to him, making him tightened the grip around his spear.
If Noah had found himself as the target of such a bloodthirsty entity before his training with Ezequiel, his emotions would have gotten the best of him, and he would have attacked without thinking.
However, Noah's willpower was powerful enough to allow him to keep control even in a situation like that.
The white warrior stared at Noah for a second before looking away and flashing to the sky toward another black warrior. It showed no concern for its wounds, and the only thing in its mind seemed to be killing the enemy.
Noah glanced at the white warrior before unleashing his consciousness and seeing the countless battles covering this world.
White warriors emerged from the ground, and black warriors from the sky; the only thing on their minds was to kill the other. It was carnage, and neither side would stop until the other died.
Noah's presence acted as a catalyst as the number of battles rose exponentially. He also noticed that every time a warrior died, they would decompose into a foul substance that would blend with the air.
Soon it became a thick black fog that Noah could not avoid. He did not know its nature, but feelings of rage, hatred, envy, lust, gula and every other negative emotion invaded his mind.
Emotions like those were weird to Noah. It made sense he would find them unfamiliar, having lived in a utopian universe.
The emotions could not twist his personality due to the power of Noah's True Will, but they did not just remain inside him without doing anything.
Noah's eyes widened as he felt those negative emotions devouring his energy. Before he could get over the shock, they began materializing in front of him like deformed monsters.
"AHHHH!" The creature unleashed a howl of pain before attacking Noah, full of killing intent.
Noah acted decisively, using his spear to pierce the monster's skull. Purple flaming soul force carrying the power of samsara bathed the weapon.
However, other than stopping its march temporarily, the monster acted as if nothing had happened and continued its attack while the spear still pierced its head.
Noah managed to move back and dodge the monster's claws, but he could not hide his stupefaction when he saw that his attack did nothing.
The monster did not care about Noah's state of mind and carried on with its attack.
Noah countered all of the monster's attacks, but no matter how much damage he did, it healed the next second. Things only worsened as more negative emotions devoured his energy and materialized as new monsters.
It did not take long for a dozen monsters to attack Noah. He was able to keep up with their attacks, but wounds were slowly appearing on his body.
No matter what type of spell or soul strike Noah used, those monsters would instantly heal every wound and continue with their onslaught.
Noah was already at his limit when his eyes began to glow with silver light, and he began to inject his willpower directly into his spear.
"¡AHHHHHHHH!"
A smile appeared on Noah's face as his spear managed to split the monster in half, and this time it could not heal from the damage.
'So this is the Prima Universe's Depravita Race. Monsters my father created using people's negative emotions.
Unlike the ones born from the Depravita Sacred Mountain, they were psychopathic monsters that only knew how to kill. Only those that manage to evolve to Rank 9 could break free of their nature and choose their own path.'
Now that Noah knew the secret to break their pseudo-invulnerability, he was able to kill all the monsters. The battle drained his energy, but he could not relax since the black fog kept growing more potent the more warriors perished, making the negative emotions that invaded his mind stronger.
Unfortunately for Noah, a sense of utter doom assaulted him before he could even catch his breath. He looked up only to see a massive portal appearing.
Noah could not see the thing on the other side of the portal before a giant mummified arm covered in yellow robes emerged from it.
He was only able to raise his spear and make purple flames cover his body before the giant hand clashed with him, pushing him all the way to the ground.
"¡BOOOM!"
The giant hand crushed Noah into the ground, and this one was doing all he could to avoid being smashed to pieces by its immense strength.
Noah's bones were breaking to pieces, and his viscera were shattering. It was only thanks to his impressive regeneration abilities he managed to endure without any severe injury before the portal closed, and the arm vanished.
