Chapter 60: 60. ESCAPE
The expert watched with pure shock, Noah’s body light up, with so much energy that it strained his consciousness!!!.
His consciousness threatened to let the young man go, but he held on. This young man wasn’t ordinary in the slightest, as he had never seen such a technique before, so he had to take care of him.
That was when he saw Luke the personal guard was of Augustus erecting a pole of earth, immediately making the people he brought, stop their fighting and begin to dash towards the exit.
The man wanted to do something, but he couldn’t, he had no doubt that the person he trapped would escape if he lost concentration, because the man was very heavy, and shockingly he couldn’t sense an ounce of aura coming from the man, but he could see him, which meant a lot of things, normal not being one of them.
Heaving a deep sigh, while his face twisted because of the mental strain.
The man brought out a pill from his space ring. Swallowing it, he felt only a miniscule amount of relief, and was forced to take two more.
This pill was a medicine, used to boost the mental faculties. Although pills that could work for those at his level weren’t rare, but still expensive.
It wasn’t until after he had taken seven of them, could he stop frowning in pain.
Getting up from his seat, he walked towards the door, he figured if he could lay his hands on the young man, he would be able secure his capture.
As for Augustus and his team escape, he didn’t care, after all the plan had never been to capture him in the mansion.
Exiting his room, he began to walk towards the direction of his captive, after a few seconds he decided to also bring the young man closer to him.

Silence had reigned inside of Noah’s head, although he was constantly thinking of a way to escape, it had been but a minute since the stone pole, and no voice had spoken to him.
Heck one time he felt like the unknown energy, or rather the tier 3 experts’ consciousness, would let him go, but it returned to its full grip.
That all changed when his body began to move!.
Noah’s mind pushed itself to it’s limit, his body released more energy, as he became even brighter, though a notification that Noah had never thought possible, popped up.
[WARNING WARNING WARNING]
[Your body is going into energy over load, continue and you risk falling apart]
[WARNING WARNING WARNING]
[Your body is going into energy over load, continue and you risk falling apart]
Shock ran through Noah’s mind, as all thoughts were halted, ‘Overload?, falling apart?’, Noah said inwardly.
As if answering his question, Noah noticed something, it was so small that if not for his heightened brain activity he wouldn’t have noticed it.
Right there, on his right arm, a tiny piece of his skin fell off, and turned to dust a milisecond later!!.
Fear gripped Noah, as to his horror, his body released more energy, and he witnessed more of his skin turn to dust.
Immediately that happened, something clicked inside his head, Noah remembered a skill he had never used before, and it’s usefulness seemed to fit this situation perfectly.
[Speed clones: Call upon clones made from the depths of the “Speed Force” to confuse your enemies. They are half as fast and strong as you, and can be made to explode into an attack made of both lightning and Air. You can also take over their body to see what they see and hear what they hear.
Currently clones able to summon [1]
Cost 50% of total Mana , Duration: Until destroyed. Cool down N/A ]
Casting the summoning skill. Noah watched as the energy that accumulated around his body come to a halt, then a orange magic circle appeared right in front of him, with that magic circle came a big drain to his nana reserves. Noah had never felt this way before, after all fifty percent of his mana was going into the skill.
A milisecond later, a hand emerged out of the magic circle, followed by the summons whole body, but it looked unstable, but it didn’t have any of Noah’s facial features, only eyes and ears.
Immediately it got out into the open, the halted electrical energy around his figure flowed towards the clone, entering it, and bringing it to life.
An Instant after that happened, Noah felt like he had found a lost limb, he immediately knew how to control the summon, and that was what he did.
Commanding the clone to grab hold of him, Noah made it run, with his body in its hands.
And to his expected surprise, it failed to work, it seemed a person mental wave wasn’t just an invisible force it could also hold things in place, even after external force tampered with it, but Noah had never utilized it this way.
Heaving a deep sigh, Noah glanced at his body. After the clone had siphoned some of the energy around him, he had stopped falling apart, and the system had stopped sending warning messages.
‘I guess that is the only thing I can do now,’ Noah thought.
Glancing at the clone, Noah also looked at himself with the clones eyes, and he had to admit that he was good looking, very; actually.
Kicking that thought out his mind, Noah proceeded to complete his escape.
The tier 3 expert had not yet caught hold of his clone even after multiple seconds of its arrival, which confirmed Noah’s theory, about his body being all the expert could hold on too, which also made his plan seem able to work.
Noah’s body had still been moving albeit slowly. Casting energy armour, since it had deactivated long ago, and he hadn’t recasted it since, he didn’t need to.
A magic circle expanded beneath his floating body, but rather than tendrils of energy shooting out and wrapping around his body.
The magic circle stayed open, while some of the energy his body continued to release wrapped around his skin, forming a armour.
The magic circle disappeared at that point, but Noah remained astonished by what had happened, it seemed the energy from the speed force, could be used to cast a skill.
Noah wanted to do some test, but he pushed that to the back of his mind.
Glancing at the speed clone that was walking beside his floating body, Noah closed his eyes, as he commanded it to explode!.
BOOOOOOOOM!.
An intense explosion resounded, as a small pool made from electrical energy and condensed air, spread out in the environment, ravaging the walls, and making them begin to crumble!!.
As for Noah, his figure could be seen, rapidly moving in the air, like a ragdoll.
The explosion had flung him away, and he even threatened to pass out, but he didn’t.
Using his control over the wind to slow down his movement a bit, Noah’s was able to watch the destruction that the explosion caused.
He could see what looked like a rapidly expanding pool of multicolored energy destroying everything in its path, as a side of the mansion began to collapse, further worsening the whole chain of destruction.
Slamming the ground with the grace of a rock hurled from the sky, Noah found that he was only a few tens of meters from the back gate.
He also found that both his arms, a few ribs and shoulder were badly damaged, his clothes were barely hanging on to his body, while multiple black patches of skin could be seen on his body
This caused him to continually spit blood, as pain ravaged his mind. His body was healing itself but he wouldn’t be awake to witness it.
Though just before he passed out amidst the scrambling figures, of some of the people still alive in the area, he saw clearly the running figure of James, then his vision went black.

Back inside the still crumbling mansion, the figure of the tier 3 expert could be seen holding his head, while he knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with rage, he was currently experiencing an immense headache, but inside of his head, he continued screaming ‘I’ll kill that bastard, I’ll kill him!’.
