UNLIMITED SPEED

The domain of the starry figure remained vast and seemingly endless. All abroad it were what resembled stars. But like the regions of space, they seemed unreachable. Noah could fly for whole minutes at his top speed and still not arrive at the end of that domain!

The starry figure straightened his position after Noah's comment. The real owner of the voice being in places Noah knew nothing about, just like the vast majority of those on Cregar.

"Not really." The being admitted.

"Does that mean you're not untouchable within this domain?" Noah asked whilst calculations ran tough his mind, he found no proper way of dealing with the being if that was not the case.

"Why should I tell you my weakness? You'll utilize it against me," the starry dummy snorted.

"My beams of light had touched you the other time. Do you have to actively stretch space to completely deal with attacks or is it automatic?" Noah voiced again, reviewing their initial exchanges.

He came to the conclusion that the starry figure needed to actively expand space for such a display to occur again.

"What happens when multiple precise attacks are coming towards you, unlike an explosion?" Noah wondered out loud again.

"Try your best," the starry figure shrugged and Noah nodded.

"Elder frost Golem," he spoke those words and a magical triangle expanded before him to release waves of cool mist. The 15m tall figure of the elder golem appeared at that point and Noah immediately caused it to summon its usual army of golems.

One-hundred golems all standing at impressive heights unfolded into the world and even elder Velsvon marveled at that sight. Each one of those golems held power within the middle stage.

Noah immediately sent them forth, and before they even reached the starry figure he could already see vast chunks of sharp ice raining toward the calm stellar figure.

The being watched that genuinely unique offensive approach him, but they were slow compared to their master. Nevertheless, he stretched his arm forward, aiming at them.

Noah had not seen the dummy utilize any proper attacks apart from its body, so seeing it do that toward his golem made him command those golems to fan out. Unfortunately, the dummy snorted, bending its claw-like grip to the side.

"The fabric of space is essentially a superfluid, but proper control can see that super liquid generating terrible effects. Space fills any and everything. Contains any and everything." It spoke those words whilst Noah's golems still approached it.

"I call this attack, Spatial disarray," the dummy revealed and Noah's instincts flickered as he watched the fabric of space visibly fold on itself, so much so that the chunks of his army on the path of that circular twist saw their bodies being torn apart in accordance to the movement of space.

In a mere second 80 of his golems were destroyed. Their body parts ripped away as the fabric of space twisted like fabric or spun like a whirlpool.

The ripple effect of that event had not reached Noah since he had never been the target of that terrible offensive.

"I think I've met my match," Noah revealed seeing how easily even he could be killed in that attack. It didn't matter a someone was. Space remained all around them.

"Maybe, maybe not. You're not at my level, to begin with. So those in this realm really do not have any such abilities as these. Except for extremely unique individuals. But only a few of them even exist in the whole Cregar," the dummy revealed, lowering its hand seeing as Noah had stopped his golems from marching forward.

"Exactly. Those my match have to be far stronger than me, or I won't struggle like this," Noah admitted, having arrived at that conclusion long ago.

"True…" It paused. "Are we still fighting, I'm afraid this has turned into an experiment rather than a violent battle."

Noah shook his head at that point lowering his offensives and making his aura die down. He had considered utilizing his Speedling form, but he didn't want to abuse that ability.

"My beef with you will be settled by you giving me insight about the element of space," Noah announced, already wondering if he could study that affinity and add it to his list.

He had restrained from learning basic ones such as fire or water since they hardly had anything on his already spectacular affinities.

"I wonder what you'll need that for. But fair enough. You've grown far more powerful than I ever imagined," the dummy spoke, appearing in front of Noah. Elder Velsvon too.

​ "Why have you come to meet me?" Noah queried. even if he knew there might not be a reason.

"There's a lot actually, but I wanted to see you in person after you disappeared for all those years. The bracelet of secrecy I gave you had also hindered me from finding you," the man behind the power of the dummy spoke and Noah found that detail crucial.

"Who are the immortals?" He immediately asked his next and most important question. "And what is their connection to Cregar? And are you one of them?"

"Chill, heir of the god of speed. You're called Aiden by the people of Cregar. We have time to talk. But not here… in the clouds of this region. My domain is too visible in its white environment. The others will also take note if I stay too long."

"They probably have, either way." It shook its head.

"I'll have to ask Velsvon to bring you to my domain deep in the dark continent," the dummy revealed and Noah could only watch Velsvon's dark eyebrows flicker.

"Why can't you just teleport us there? It's too slow to journey many thousand miles just to reach you," Noah complained blankly.

"Unfortunately even with all my power I cannot. Only Velsvon can be affected by my teleportation, as he's my servant. You, on the other hand, will need to be brought physically." The dummy explained, gesturing at the tier 5 expert.

"But do not worry. I'll send two others to accompany you on this great journey. The passage across the continents can be tasking for only one tier 5 especially since you'll be with someone weaker. Just inform me a few days ahead of your decided departure. The others are also busy" The dummy assured, and Velsvon bowed.

"I thank you for your generosity, master." A kick landed on the Elder's head, however, even if it didn't manage to affect him in the slightest.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that," the dummy expressed genuine irritation even if it possessed no facial features. "You can call me by my given name," this time he addressed Noah.

"I am Thanses. Officially known as the Immortal of Space." The dummy gave a nobles-man bow, disappearing along with the starry domain.
