UNLIMITED SPEED

'She constantly holds that much within her,' Noah spoke inwardly, re-evaluating Erolia's skill. She already did a lot by containing that much of her influence within her body.

Both figures appeared relatively high up in the sky and did not stop until they had journeyed many kilometers away from the city's first gate. There were about four others at certain points of its immense and expansive walls.

Eventually coming to a stop above a small hill situated across a river, both of them remained high up in the clouds. The city of Yeldel did not possess a barrier protecting it from individuals simply diving into the city.

Nevertheless, there were multiple high-stage tier 4's, and not only that. The elves had erected huge green pillars possessing hundreds of inscriptions that ran up and down their length.

From Noah's short inspection, those pillars were meant to combat anything that flew above a certain height, so even they remained at a certain altitude. Not too far from the surface, but far enough to remain in obscurity.

Moreover, they had arrived at a desolate area, the places with thicker populations were still a few kilometers from them.

Noah and Erolia tightly bottled up their auras. They remained too strong to not be noticed. In truth, both of them had the strength of higher-stage cultivators even if their power remained in the middle stage.

"What shall we do now?" Erolia spoke, being able to look many kilometers and spot buildings and even people. She had great visual capabilities, even stronger than Noah's. He could achieve that feat too though.

"We'll follow the map, of course. We'd have to remain as silent as we can, however. I might need to carry you around if that's the case. But yes," he explained allowing the map in his possession to appear in his hands.

"We're not doing much apart from checking out certain locations…" He gazed at the map whilst calculations appeared in his mind.

Erolia nodded, adopting a sitting posture; her arms wrapped around her knees, while she floated around Noah's tall figure. Thoughts swirled in her mind as she recalled the moment he had spoken about that mission.

Her eyes had caught the flames of fury, and he had not rebuked her for it. But continued speaking on how he'd carry out the task of wiping the noble family out if that was the only thing he did.

She had naturally calmed down, even if she spent a few hours grieving again. After that point, she recovered and was ready. Noah already showed his capabilities in certain things. She trusted his words a whole lot.

Even more so, she felt grateful for him giving her the chance to be present in avenging her family. A soft smile appeared on her face whilst she continued to stare at Noah. He noticed it but did not address it.

"Found it," he announced placing his index finger on the map before turning to point it in a certain direction. He had needed to pinpoint their general location since not all the landmarks were included In the map.

The hill below them remained one of the many missing details. He couldn't blame those who drew the maps though. It would seem many things had changed over the years. Certain things were not as they were before.

"I believe this hill isn't even natural, and this portion of the river seems to have been created only to deter mappers," Noah explained, looking at the said hill and blue river. His words weren't the least bit impossible. After all, beings closer to the fifth tier were at play. Moreover, they were elves too. Cregar favored that race.

"Ooh…" Erolia glanced at the hill and squinted her eyes. Her actions had not possessed any real meaning to them.

He nodded but gave no real attention to the matter. He didn't really care for it.

"Let's go." He announced, grabbing onto Erolia with his mental waves. He sprinted across the skies at that point, traversing many significant districts. The city stood true to its great size. It could even house smaller cities.

Coupled with the high quality of the residents, no wonder they could defy the royals and not fear too much of a repercussion.

Their destination was as mentioned by Elder Adonis, a private estate. Its size being about 10sqkm. The full details about the palace were non-existent, but all Noah needed to check was if it truly was there.

His sprint toward that region in the city was quick. At some point he had started to see portions of destroyed lands. Signs of battles.

Now that he thought about it, there had to have been a group of individuals who revolted against the idea of working with the order. They had probably been snuffed out, hence those craters.

The population density shrunk and bits of vegetation filled those former battlegrounds, and soon the blue walls of the estate were in view, and also one of the pillars that watched over the city.

Noah descended into those scantily placed vegetation. Mostly short trees and tall bushes. He sensed that the soil struggled to repair itself.

"Tier 4 damage," he muttered when his feet touched the ground.

Erolia had remained silent throughout the flight. It had not even lasted thirty seconds after all.

"We need to get closer," Noah revealed, despite the danger of the green pillar. The map had included its presence, and it had been explained that it wasn't dangerous as long as one didn't utilize their powers to fly abovea certain height. There would be an immediate attack on such figures.

Due to this, all tier 4's were ordered to walk until they were out of its 1000m radius range. Or simply hover above the ground by a few meters. However, right before the entrance into the estate was a completely clear ground, devoid of any sort of covering.

This spanned about 500m in terms of distance but surrounded the entire estate. This allowed guards to take note of individuals before they arrived at the estate's entrance. A clever way to ensure safety.

Then again, people hardly came there. Noah could almost be 100 percent certain that the security would have gotten lax. Still, it didn't matter. They would be leveling the entire place.

Sweeping his gaze on his surrounding, Noah could see that vegetation still stretched forward for a few hundred meters before completely vanishing.

The sun wasn't at its peak anymore as the day was already nearing its end. Still, the cleared ground before the estate remained hard and dry. For obvious reasons.

Noah began his walk toward the edge of that vegetation. Uncoincidentally, that was the estate belonging to the Earl noble family. Noah would be returning there to destroy them. He wanted to ensure that they truly were wiped out, even if only a majority of them.

"Noah… I sense something," Erolia frowned, staring intently at the ground beneath her. Noah nodded his head in agreement with her words.

"I do also." He replied looking at the hard sun-smitten ground. Merely minutes after arriving close to that estate they had made discoveries crucial to the success of that mission.

"This will be interesting," Noah muttered, raising his head to stare at the blue walls in the distance. There was definitely more going on than the eye could see.
