    Emerald smiled!


    He had attained victory and defeated the ursed subhuman!


    The falling pieces of Noah''s body parts began to burn with crimson mes, as Emerald sighed in relief, ncing at the fight unfold outside of his range, where Noah''s allies were fighting his party.


    "Now, let me assist you so we can get rid of this pest quickly… I must tell this to my father after- Nnnngh…! GGaaagghh…!"


    However, against all of his expectations, Emerald felt a sharp object prate his stomach, his guts flying out of his insides!


    Emerald nced with horror, as his Danger Detection began to ring loud rms inside of his head!


    But how?!


    How wasn''t he able to detect it beforehand?!


    "Was it… because I didn''t saw Noah as a threat anymore…?! Unnghh…" thought Emerald, tightly grasping his stomach as he nced behind him, the body of Noah was intact, and the dismembered limbs he thought were Noah''s suddenly converted into blood, rushing back to Noah!


    "Blood Clone has a lot of uses… throwing it in front of his face and releasing shing attacks behind it to make him think that it was indeed me really worked quite well, although Blood Clones cannot really fight… but through Blood Maniption, I can manipte them like a puppet!" thought Noah triumphantly, as he prated Emerald''s stomach with a powerful blood spear!


    Emerald nced at Noah with rage and pain!


    "W-What kind of tricks did you use, filthy subhuman!?" roared Emerald, generating dozens of jewel spears, firing them directly towards Noah!


    Noah, however, instead of deciding to evade, used his own ws and Blood Tentacles emerging around him to destroy the rock on his ground, and digging underground like a mole!


    BOOM!


    "W-WHAT?!"


    Emerald was left in shock as his attacks reached the ground and exploded without being capable of hitting Noah directly!


    However, the ground below must have surely crumbled, so Noah should be crushed to death by now!


    "Ngh?! Danger Detection…! Below me?!"


    Emerald nced below his feet, as suddenly, the earth began to bulge, exploding!


    BOOM!


    "What kind of monster…?!" thought Emerald, generating a disk-shaped jewel, and grabbing, managing to fly above the ground, evading Noah''s underground attack!


    Emerald noticed as Noah''s ws had grown in size tremendously, by umte crystalized blood around them, he really did look like some kind of mole!


    "So you can fly… I should be able to do the same then… If I can manipte and make blood float… Blood Patch," said Noah, generating blood patches and sticking them to his feet, and then manipting them to float, giving him the ability to float as well!


    "Impossible…!" asked Emerald in surprise, Noah''s ability to manipte blood was just as good as his ability to manipte created jewels!


    "You better begin to believe it!"ughed Noah, as he generated more Poisonous Blood Projectiles, firing them towards Emerald!


    Emerald decided to counterattack with jewel projectiles of his own, as Noah evaded them in midair, although some managed to prate his flesh and seep into his shoulders!


    However, Noah just used this opportunity to conjure Blood Sacrifice and enhance the damage dealt of any of his attacks, even long-ranged ones!


    More and more blood flowed out of his wounds, as Noah shaped them as weapons and made them fly towards Emerald!


    By using Blood Sphere, he nourished himself back with the blood of those he hunted yesterday, and slowly regenerated his enormous wounds!


    Emerald was left more and more in surprise as despair began to emerge in his eyes!


    "J-Just how strong is he?! How strong has he grown in this little time?! He''s too dangerous to be left alive! His speed to grow stronger and adapt to battle situations is too much!" thought Emerald, gnashing his teeth as he generated enormous boulders of red jewels, firing them towards Noah like zing jewel meteors!


    sh! sh! sh!


    Noah used his outstanding speed and reflexes to move in midair, evading the gigantic jewel boulders in time, and even grabbing some with his Blood Tentacles and firing them back to Emerald!


    "AGH!"


    sh!


    Arge, over three-meter-tall boulder of zing jewels, reached Emerald''s body, crushing him and sending him straight to the ground!


    Boom!


    Noah quickly followed him from behind, charging all the power he could, he needed to kill Emerald now or never!


    His blood was running low, and he began to feel lethargic!


    His wounds were not regenerating as fast, if he could not kill him now, he wouldn''t be able to get another chance!


    However, Emerald smiled wickedly, as he nced at Noah mockingly!


    "Hahaha! You stupid subhuman!" heughed, surprising Noah, did he had an ace before his sleeve?!


    Noah sharpened his senses, detecting all of his surroundings as he fell directly towards Emerald!


    And then, from the ground below, gigantic spears of ck and white colors emerged, made entirely out of jewels!


    Noah finally noticed that Emerald''s hands were seeped into the ground, although he was gravely wounded, he was still nning a victory!


    Noah desperately evaded the spears, but more and more began to emerge, as one finally reached him, prating his stomach, and busting out of his intestines!


    "Nnngghaaa…!"


    Noah vomited a mouthful of blood, as he grasped the Jewel Spear with his ws.


    Emeraldughed in victory, as he vomited blood from his own wound over his stomach.


    However, against his own expectations… he saw something horrifying!


    Noah began to… tear himself apart!


    "W-What…?!"


    Crash!


    Noah''s torso was torn apart from his own hips, falling into the ground, directly over the weakened and exhausted Emerald!


    "Y-You… what kind of… grotesque monster are you!?" asked Emerald in disbelief, as Noah''s crazed crimson eyes nced at Emerald with a voracious appetite!


    "Die and be my nourishment!" roared Noah, falling over Emerald as Emerald tried to generate another jewel spear to impale Noah''s head!


    However, Noah''s crimson eyes released a strange power, making Emerald paralyzed for a split second!


    "Unnghh…!"


    This was Noah''s Vampiric Eyes of Hypnosis, which have not worked at all through the entire battle because of Emerald''s immense strength of will, however, in thisst moment where he despaired the most, his will faltered, and he managed to hypnotize him enough to make him cancel his move at least for a little time!


    Noah moved his ws towards Emerald, falling over him and shing his neck!


    "NNNNGGGYYYYAAAHHH…!"


    SLASH!


    Emerald''s head rolled out of his body, as for thest seconds of consciousness, he nced at his beheaded body in horror!


    He… lost!


    "T-This… can''t… be…! Fa… ther…" he thought, as his mind faded away into eternal darkness.


    Noah immediately began to drink all the blooding from Emerald like an insane monstrous creature, managing to nourish himself, his legs began to regrow from the bone to the muscle and skin!


    He had… somehow made it!
