UNLIMITED SPEED

"With that done, take this," A folded paper appeared and floated towards Noah.

Grabbing the scroll of sorts, Noah unfolded it to study the map. A few moments later he stored it in his inventory.

A heavy silence fell on the duo after that. Noah felt the silence to be a bit awkward, and was probably because he had been ready to proctect his secret a few minutes ago.

Truth be told Noah had the silent idea that Jon tried to intimidate him with the protections surrounding the village, but he felt no danger from the expert. His full power could one-shot the cultivator.

The silence eventually turned annoying when no words had been said for ten whole minutes.

'I wonder if there are cultivators with three elemental affinities,' Noah wondered, 'Is it safe to announce my probably very rare status,' he thought.

'Probably not,' he answered his own question, 'I should get protection first,' he concluded.

"Can you take me down. I really want to rest," Noah turned to focus his gaze on Jon, who silently nodded his head, and a familiar circular Inscription expanded between them.

The duo arrived back in front of Noah's quarters, but Noah didn't care about that. His mind shook from the teleportation, causing a bit of confusion and pain, but this time he recovered far quicker.

"Is this your first time teleporting?," Jon asked with a bit of concern.

"Well yes," Noah lied partially, "Is it a normal symptom," he asked.

"Yes it is, for those new to it, that is. The longer the distance the more effect the teleportation has on your mind," Jon explained.

"Though high tier teleportation methods have little to no effect, as the process reaches a level of seamlessness, that amateurs like me can't achieve, though they cost far more energy," A sigh escaped his mouth.

"I do apologize for the troubles," Jon bowed slightly, "We shall meet a few hours from now," He said about to walk away, when he suddenly turned to say a few things.

"After you arrive in the cave, I'll send you a signal when it is time for you to show up," The man quickly said before walking away.

Noah could only nod at that point while his mental waves seeped into the room and unlocked the door from inside.

Noah entered and laid on the mat, his eyes shutting as he fell asleep almost instantly.

A knock on the door brought Noah out of his short and dreamless slumber. He soon found out that the visitor was Enik, who had a tray of food on his hand, and the sun had also risen.

After accepting the meal, Noah informed the man of his plan to leave the village around an hour from then.

Enik showed a frown at that information but didn't say anything and left. Noah found the reaction very normal, he even felt pity for the man.

He would have his village raided by the other villages', and by normal means Enil would get destroyed in the process, but he soon buried that pity, after all he wasn't really leaving them.

Noah ate the meal and simply sat for a while, though he was actually Inspecting his soul core and island.

His soul island had expanded by a few meters and it sturdiness was far different from when he advanced around a week ago.

Noah couldn't stop a few memories of his past from surfacing. His wrath and hatred towards the royals burned even more at those fresh memories.

His desire to get stronger also shot up in terms of intensity, he wanted to achieve tier 4 as fast as he could, since that level of power felt enough to kick-start his revenge.

'Can't i just cultivate inside my cultivation room after the ring expires. I'll definitely achieve an exponential increase in strength,' Noah thought.

'But the need for beasts for the dungeon,

won't allow me stay inside for too long,' he sighed. 'I hope tier 3 Beasts attack me before I reach Vonol,' Noah chuckled standing up. It was time to leave.

Exiting the building, Noah decided to go fake a farewell to Jon, to make his exit more believable. 'Is that even necessary,' he soon furrowed his brows, sweeping his gaze on his environment.

Noah immediately found that his earlier concern wasn't necessary since his gaze landed on the the seven figures of the five elders, Jon and Enik.

They soon arrived at his position, and Noah didn't hesitate to talk.

"I'll be taking my leave elders," he bowed at them, their hands gesturing at him to straighten his position.

"It's a pity to see you leave so soon, but since it's what you want, we have no opinion in the matter," The elder who had teased Noah the other day spoke, the others nodding at his words.

"Enik informed us of your plan to leave, and we'd like to escort you," Jon spoke with a straight face, his tone formal.

Noah only nodded his head and they began to lead him towards the path that led out of the village.

The elders questioned Noah about his past, but he constantly, without failure, gave vague answers. His mind studied their words carefully, and it produced an answer so fast, Noah felt like he had rehearsed their conversation before hand.

Noah also threw questions at them, and they all responded, seemingly truthfully also. His questions even looked to bring them a nostalgic feeling.

Surprisingly, the elders had been in the village of Enil for over a century, and each of them, at one point in time had been the head of the village.

That all changed when Jon arrived at their village, badly wounded, and the villagers took him in.

At that time Jon had power at the middle stage of tier 2, which was around thirty years in the past.

They helped him heal, and also ambushed the men that had been trying to kill him. A few villagers died but the ambush still succeeded. From there on things changed drastically for the village.

Jon had knowledege of Inscriptions which he utilized in protecting the village. He also possessed skills in trade, which managed to get the attention of the nobles, and even the royals to purchase the products the village produced.

Eventually Jon would then be elected as the village head, and had been in that position for a bit over twenty years now.

Apparently the elders formerly numbered twelve, but the others had sadly died from old age.

The Information Noah got wasn't necessarily anything Important, but it was something anyway.

They eventually arrived at the gate, which signified the end of Enil, and Noah didn't hesitate to cross it and begin walking towards the forest.

Noah spent a bit more than ten minutes to reach the beginning of the forest, but he didn't divert, he simply continued walking on the path.

Another twenty minutes passed before he decided he had gone far enough into the forest.

The map Jon gave him appeared in his hands at that point, and he didn't hesitate to expand his consciousness to pinpoint the area he was, and satiate the feeling he'd been experiencing for a while now.

But he soon stopped looking at the map to shoot his gaze at a spot a few tens of meters from the road, but it wasn't where the map displayed as Jon's cave.

"At least try to hide your blood thirsty aura," his voice boomed out of his mouth, reaching its target, or rather targets.
