UNLIMITED SPEED

Noah could only smile at that point, sitting down on the ground, he sat in a crossed legged position. Bringing out a chunk of uncooked meat, lightning crackled on Noah's fingers, then they went on to fry the meat.

Noah stopping when the meat had reached a suitable level for eating.

The two sat there for around ten minutes, as eventually the whole thing got boring.

Jumping back up on his feet, Noah saw the perfectly okay man begin to shake. Ignoring his cries for mercy, Noah went and retrieved his Daggers from the already dried of corpses of the two men.

Stabbing the man with a broken leg and the partially blind man, Noah watched their bodies lose it's lustre, and turn into ghostly grey, until they resembled sculptures of ash.

"I'm sorry, please don't kill me, I'll do anything, please!," the last man standing begged, Noah simply shrugging his shoulders, while walking closer to him, "I'm sorry too, it's just..., your survival isn't an option, and besides you were already on a death sentence, what did you expect."

The man tried to cast a spell at that point, but Noah's daggers were already In his chest before he could do so.

The light of life left the man's eyes, as he dried up. Noah couldn't help but heave a deep sigh, he wondered why he found it so easy to kill them. Was it because of the situation? or because his mindset, coupled with the killer title had changed?.

A ding resounded In the area, Noah going walking back to James, who pat his shoulders, "I could have done it if you didn't want to," he offered, Noah simply shaking his head, deep down he kinda didn't mind it!!, and he also needed the extra exp.

A few seconds later five inscriptions lit up at the end of cave, followed by the appearance of five scantly clothed figures, all women!.

A frown immediately appeared on Noah face, not because they were just women. No, because they were half naked women, some even having their entire lumps-of-fat sticking out, it was incredibly distracting.

Glancing at the roof of the cave, Noah uttered curse words at the planners of the stage.

"Oh what a fine man," one of the ladies there said, her eyes filled with lust. She was around 5'5 in height had short brown hair, and was currently covered in strips of tattered green cloths, which barely left anything to the imagination.

"How about I get a taste of you, before we fight," another lady said, even taking a step forward, Noah and James going on guard, after all the lady was in the peak stage.

The lady was a bit tall at over 5'8 in height, she had a slender frame, big busts and long black hair. She was the most decently dressed woman among the group, even though she still remained half naked, with just strips of black cloths around her chest and waist which barely went past the beginning of her thighs.

"Feisty! I like feisty men!," she remarked licking her lips. Seeing that she got no reaction whatsoever from the two men, she continued.

"Being locked up among crazy women for months has really increased my desires. Can't you help a young woman fulfill them," She added with a sad face

Noah's eyes were extremely cold, he didn't like what was going on, so he decided to move.

But shock filled his mind when he saw stone needles shooting towards he and James, almost imperceptible to the naked eyes, only that Noah was faster.

Snorting at the smart attack, Noah used his control over the wind to cause a strong gale to blow, interrupting the needles, and stopping the attack, but that wasn't all.

Noah also watched multiple arrows made of orange flames fly towards the duo, it was casted by the other peak stage lady there, but it wasn't much of a problem, since Noah also extinguished them with a powerful gust of wind, causing mild explosions.

"Wow!. You managed to stop those attacks. You really are a fine man," the first lady remarked with a smile, then her expression suddenly turned murderous.

"Let's see how many attacks you can dodge at a time," she announced, while a big magic circle expanded in front of her, Noah noticing hundreds of stone needles rushing towards them.

"Get behind me," Noah shouted when he also saw arrows made of flames, blades made of wind and four jets of water flying towards them.

Noah couldn't help but commend them for their incredible team work, he wasn't sure if they knew each other, but if what the first batch of men said were true, none of them knew each other.

"Your team work is incredible, but it's only a pity you were matched up with me," Noah muttered, while bringing his palms forward, the air there began to condense right I front of Noah, at an incredible rate.

A milisecond later the wall of wind was done, then Noah sent it forward. The collision of spells caused an explosion to resound, but to the pure shock of the five women, Noah's wall of wind stopped their spells in its track. After all he had poured over a hundred mana points into it.

Even after the five spells had vanished, the over 10/ 20ft wall of wind remained floating, which obscured Noah from their sights. A very dangerous thing.

Noah didn't let their minds wander too much, he shot forward with the speed of a bullet, arriving a few meters in front of the surprised group, he cast 'lightning bolt' six times, one for each of them and the last for good measures.

BOOOMM!

The explosions resouded as one, shaking the cave a bit, as dust and stone fell off the sturdy looking cave.

When the dust cleared, all that could be seen of the women were charred corpses, which disappeared after the ground lit up with a yellow Inscription.

They were done with the second batch at that point, James barely doing anything than to stand and watch the events unfold.

If he had to be honest, he was tired of being weaker than Noah. Which was why he anticipated the prize of the whole event even more.

A ding resouded in the area, but Noah being in a bad mood, did something James hadn't expected.

A magic circle expanded above the duo, then a thin orange veil of sorts fell from it, going to form a dome like shape.

The air crackled with electrical energy, as James felt the hair on his neck and even head rise up, due to the abundance of electrical energy.

Noah had cast his lightning domain, after all the illusory figure never said planting a trap for their future opponents was against the rules, so Noah took it upon himself to finish the whole thing fast.

He knew that most people would struggle with the stage, after all it wasn't easy to fight multiple people at your level of power, who also have experience, and can plan, just like the ladies had shown Noah.

The human Ingenuity made them incredibly dangerous.

Five Inscriptions lit up In the far ends of the cave, followed by the five figures of three men and two women, all radiating power in the higher stage of tier 2, but contrary to what the illusory figure said, three of them were actually at the very peak of tier 2.

Noah didn't know why this was so, probably because his strength wasn't normal, but he didn't care.

Immediately their figures were done teleporting, multiple magic circles expanded above their head, as in the next instant they were struck by lightning bolts the size of the standard car.

The five relatively strong experts, who were also criminals died without even knowing their opponents, or what killed them.
