Chapter 227: Hidden Realm 3
The sky darkened and a powerful power settled inside him.
[...This power?]
Unknowingly, Noah's eyes turned red for a moment. His muscles activated. Gripping his sword, hellfire surrounded it and he swung it fiercely.
Boom!
The sphere split with an explosion.
The sun's power was erased by the sword strike. The skeleton gasped.

[You!]
It knew Noah was strong but not this strong.
The second round was about to begin and he would prevail, the skeleton firmly convinced himself.
[Die! Die!]
The skeleton kept mumbling as if he had become crazy.
Noah chuckled before using the Shadow steps and Splitting Waves Slash!
[Guah?]
The skeleton was reduced to dust under Noah's attack combining Hellfire with his skills.
Suddenly there was an explosion.
Boom!
Noah found himself face-to-face with a towering, another spirit, an ethereal spirit. Its form shimmered and shifted, a translucent apparition against the vibrant backdrop of the hidden realm. The spirit's eyes glowed with an eerie light, and its voice echoed through the space, a haunting whisper.
"You have disturbed our sanctuary," the spirit intoned. "You must pay the price."
''Again!" he spat.
Noah knew that a battle was inevitable. He gripped his sword tighter, his heart pounding in his chest. The spirit raised its ethereal hands, and a wave of energy surged towards him. Noah dodged, the wind whipping past his ears.
Instead of attacking directly, Noah focused on disrupting the spirit's energy field. With a series of precise strikes, he managed to disrupt the flow of energy, causing the spirit to waver and become less coherent. Seeing an opportunity, Noah launched a powerful attack, his sword piercing the spirit's ethereal form.
The spirit let out a mournful cry, its form flickering and fading. It was a victory, but Noah knew the battle was far from over. More spirits were emerging from the mist, their eyes filled with a burning hatred.
The hidden realm was a dangerous place, but Noah was determined to overcome its challenges.
The hidden realm was a battleground. Spirits, ethereal beings of pure energy, swarmed Noah, their forms shifting and changing like water. Their attacks were swift and precise, their eyes burning with a malevolent intensity.
Noah fought with a ferocity born of desperation. His sword, a beacon of light in the ethereal darkness, danced and slashed, parrying the spirits' attacks with incredible skill. Each clash was a symphony of energy, a clash of wills.
The spirits were formidable opponents, their ethereal forms making them difficult to harm. But Noah was no ordinary warrior. He was a survivor, a fighter, and he possessed a unique ability: the power to manipulate the very fabric of reality.
With a surge of determination, Noah channeled his power, his mind racing with strategy. He visualized the spirits as fragile vessels, their ethereal forms a mere illusion. With a flick of his wrist, he released a wave of energy, targeting the very essence of the spirits.
The spirits wavered, their forms becoming less coherent. They shrieked in pain, their attacks growing more erratic. Noah seized the opportunity, his sword a blur of motion. With a powerful strike, he pierced the heart of the lead spirit.
The spirit let out a mournful cry, its form fading into nothingness. The other spirits, sensing their leader's demise, retreated into the mist, their attacks growing weaker.
Noah stood alone, his breath ragged, his body aching. But he had prevailed. He had defeated the spirits, protecting the hidden realm from their malevolent influence.
As the last spirit vanished into the mist, the hidden realm seemed to sigh in relief. The ethereal light that bathed the surroundings grew brighter, and a sense of peace washed over Noah. He had done it. He had survived.
Exhausted but triumphant, Noah made his way towards the exit of the hidden realm. The monolith, the gateway to this otherworldly place, stood before him. As he approached it, the pulsating energy field that surrounded it began to weaken.
With a final look around, Noah stepped into the energy field. The world around him dissolved into a kaleidoscope of colors, and then, darkness.
The darkness was absolute. Noah felt himself falling, tumbling through an endless void. His senses were numb, his mind a blank slate. He was lost, adrift in a sea of nothingness.
Then, light. A faint glimmer pierced the darkness, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped him. Noah opened his eyes, blinking against the sudden brightness. He was back in the familiar surroundings of the abandoned temple.
The monolith stood before him, its surface pulsing with a soft, ethereal glow. Noah approached it, his heart pounding with anticipation. He had survived the hidden realm, and now, he was about to uncover its secrets.
With a deep breath, Noah placed his hand on the monolith's surface. The stone vibrated beneath his touch, and a surge of energy coursed through his body. Images flashed before his eyes, a kaleidoscope of scenes from the past, present, and future.
He saw the hidden realm in all its glory, a vibrant and teeming ecosystem. He saw the spirits, their ethereal forms dancing in the light. He saw himself, fighting for survival, battling against the forces of darkness.
And then, he saw the future. A world in peril, threatened by a darkness that was spreading like a plague. He saw himself, a lone warrior standing against the tide, fighting for hope.
The vision faded, leaving Noah with a sense of purpose. He knew what he had to do. He had to warn the world of the impending danger, to rally the forces of light against the encroaching darkness.
With a newfound determination, Noah turned away from the monolith. The hidden realm had revealed its secrets.
