Ashkavaal’s hand came down to squish him.
It was the size of a small mountain and it moved with the full unhurried confidence of a being who had just done the math and found a human at the bottom of it, and it reached for Noah to close around him and be done with the whole ridiculous afternoon!
And Noah calmly read out a skill he had used years ago in dungeons.
"Fireball."
HUUM!
A ball of deeply cerulean flame formed in the air in front of him.
It was small, the humble first spell of a Rank F Hunter who did not yet know he would one day bring back Observable Existences and Steeds, except the mana feeding it now was Osmontian Source Infinity drawn through the narrow straw the domain allowed him, and even a single river of THAT ocean was not the same thing as a beginner’s mana at all.
The cerulean fireball smashed into Ashkavaal’s descending palm and flung the titanic hand away, scorched black across its whole surface, the giant’s arm knocked wide.
And Noah moved brutally.
More cerulean fireballs erupted in the air in front of him like bullets leaving a barrel, one after another after another, a stream of them, and they slammed upward into Ashkavaal’s chest and her body was shockingly thrown up into the air by the impacts, a mountain of a woman lifted clean off her feet!
And while she hung there more of them came in from other angles, fireballs curving in on separate trajectories that Noah’s narrow trickle of Infinity guided true, each one landing with a heavy wet impact that burst skin and blew muscle apart in cerulean flashes!
She could not scream in time. She could barely fall in time!
By the time THE Second Breath came back down she was no longer recognizable as a woman or as anything, only a spinning mass of ruined flesh turning over in the air, and it smashed down onto the scorched land seconds later and did not move, and there was no sign of life left in it at all!
Oh!
The most powerful Infinite True Lifeform in the garden. Dead! Killed by the first spell Noah had ever learned!
...!
A heavy silence spread across the whole ruin.
Noah stood in the middle of it, and he turned slowly and let his gaze move across all of them, every ashen face in the army.
"Kneel," he said, "and your deaths will be quick."
...!
HUUM!
The words were heavy!
Then one of the Infinite True Lifeforms reined in its fear, and threw back its head, and roared.
"HE IS ONLY ONE MAN!" it bellowed across the army with fear and rage!
"There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of us! SWARM THIS MOTHERFUCKER!"
And the army came!
And Noah...waded into it.


"Sever."
HUUM!

"Sever."
HUUM!
