He removed the cloth and saw Alen Remark.
Alen Remark was one of the teammate of Mari Redwood. He wore glasses and had medium size black hair. He was 2-3 inches taller than Noah and he trained under the water dragon.
Noah questioned,
What the hell are you doing, Alen?
I am doing what you can see, Noah!
Alen grabbed the right hand of Noah and tried to slice them off using his abdnormal knife but Noah, he grabbed the right hand of Alen through which he was holding the knife, used his legs to make him fall on the ground and used his strength to smash him on the ground by turning back, pulled him and smashed him.
Noah noticed another presence and another person came running towards Noah wearing a cloak.
Noah was confused to see Alen and now there was another.
The another person was using a yellow color long sword.
That person swinged the sword on Noah and he dodged it but then Alen stabbed the left leg of Noah using the abnormal knife and Noah felt like he had a large amount of water inside his body.
Noah grabbed the knife and pulled it out.
The knife was made up of the body material of the water dragon under whom Alen trained. It was the prove that Alen formed a dragon pact with the water dragon.
Alen pointed his palm towards the knife and the knife forcefully freed itself from Noah's grip and came back to Alen. It was the another ability of all the weapons created using the dragon's body parts.
The another person in the cloak again swinged the long sword towards Noah and Noah jumped and dodged it and tried to punch that person using his right fist but suddenly, numerous cuts developed on Noah's right fist.
Another person came and Noah heard a very loud sound. He felt like his ears were going to burst so he covered them up.
Noah created a crack to escape from there and entered inside it but before he could close it, the person because of whom Noah was hearing the loud sound entered in the crack too and Noah used his powers to send that person to the shrinking dimension.
Noah thought that now he could easily escape but in the next second, the person came back. Noah was really surprised because that person destroyed the dimension without any struggle.
That person removed the cloak and the one behind that cloak made Noah fell into despair.
The one behind that cloak was none other than Mira, Mira Redwood.
Noah questioned,
Why.. why are you doing this?
Well, that's because I want your power, Noah.
Noah screamed with anger and charged on her to punch her but the sound increased and he collapsed. The crack he opened disappear and Noah fell on the ground where as she came on the ground pretty easily.
Noah stood up but there was nothing he could do because against him was the whole group of Mira.
Noah created two mini black hole and collided them with each other and at the same time opened another crack and jumped into it.
The collision created a lot of energy and because of the blast of that energy, Alen was turned to ash right at the moment where as Mira blocked it using her sound waves and rest of the group faced severe wounds.
Mira trained under the sound dragon and developed many mutations in her power.
Alice, one of her group member and the one who light the fire at the campfire for Noah trained under the electric dragon.
Rose, another female member trained under the blue flame dragon.
Rowan, another member of the group trained under illusion dragon.
Arkie, another member of the group trained under acid dragon.
Max, another member of the group trained under wind dragon.
Noah had a hope, he thought to went to the group of the trainees camping nearby.
He opened the crack near them and found them sitting there. He though that he could be saved now.
He wanted to go to Voidran but he came quite far away from where he cannot open a crack to Voidran directly.
He went to those trainees and said,
Please... please help me. They will kill me.
But the group, it remained silent and there was no moment in their body. Noah felt something was wrong. He touched one of the member of the group and his hand pass through his body.
He heard a voice from behind,
Poor boy, what you can see infront of you is nothing more than an illusion.
He looked behind and behind him was Mira.
He opened a crack again and went to the farthest distance he can travel near Voidran.
Noah cannot used his Void Travel ability for 5 min now and that was the draw back of his ability. If he travels the farthest distance he can using Void Travel, then Void travel will go on a cooldown of 5 minute. Voidran's den was now just at the distance of 100 meter.
He used his remaining strength and ran towards Voidran and suddenly, a thunder strike fell on him and he fell on the ground.
He stood up and looked towards the direction from where the thunder strike came and saw Alice floating in the air.
Did you really thought you can surpass the speed of electricity, Noah!?
Noah was breathing heavily as his whole body was pretty much messed up.
Another thunder strike came and he opened a crack and another crack at another place to dodge the thunder strike.
In a while, the whole group arrived there.
Mira came to Noah and grabbed him by his hair and pulled him up.
Say, we will spare your life but in exchange, you will let us kill your filthy old dragon.
These words were enough to make Noah mad, he punched her face with full strength.
Her nose started bleeding and she became furious.
She kicked Noah on abdomen and the whole group beat him up pretty badly. Noah was barely able to maintain his consciousness.
She again pulled him by hair and spit on his face and said,
You look better now.
She took the long sword from Alice and said to Noah,
Farewell and please don't hate us, blame your own luck for this type of end.
She pierced Noah's heart and Noah, he lost his consciousness and collapsed on the ground.
Few hours passed
Noah suddenly opened his eyes. He sat on the ground and could not believe that he was still alive.
Morning, child.
He heard a familiar voice from behind and when he looked behind, there was Voidran. First he thought that he was just dreaming but when he looked around, it was the same place in the forest where he died at the hand of Mira. There was even blood around him.
He said to Voidran in a hasty manner,
Voidran, you were right. She was n-
But before he could finish, Voidran said,
Yes, I know what happened with you.
Yeah, I died but I do not know how am I still alive.
Look at your right chest.
Noah looked at his right chest and there was it, the symbol of Voidran. He was surprised to see it because he never actually formed a dragon pact with Voidran.
How.. I never formed a dragon pact with you.., so how do I got the symbol, Voidran?
Do you really want to know, child?
What do you mean, Voidran?
Okay, then listen.
He started explaining,
I was waiting for you and like that, few hours passed and it make me worried because you never took that long to find fruits. First I thought that other trainees must have took the fruits from the trees but then, my instinct kept telling me that something was wrong.
I came out of my den to look for you and you were nowhere to be found. I flied at a higher altitude and saw a body lying 100 meter away from the den. I went to the body and when I insepcted it, I found out it was yours.
At first, I thought I was just dreaming but inside my heart, I actually knew what really happened to you. It was already too late, you were dead.
He questioned,
So, how did I came back to life!?
There was only a single way to save your life, Noah. I performed the dragon pact by myself and gave you my soul, gave you a second chance.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING VOIDRAN!?
Tears came in his eyes as he asked that question. He started crying because Voidran was like his father, which he never met.
Voidran touched Noah's right chest using his right claw and said,
I gave you my life child, take care of it and put it to good use.
He questioned while crying,
But.. but how can that be possible, Voidran. Only we trainees can perform a dragon pact.
Didn't I tell you the first day we met that I am a legend. Nothing is impossible for me, Noah.
He continued,
Please, take care of her too.
And right after finishing his sentence, Voidran collapsed on the ground. Noah ran to Voidran while crying and said,
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY 'HER'!?
AND YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS, VOIDRAN! PLEASE, I BEG YOU, PLEASE WAKE UP.
A light starting coming out of Voidran and his body turned to a long Void Purple color Blade with a void purple color orb at the top end of the handle of the blade.
Noah couldn't do anything and kept crying. Suddenly, a fast blowing wind struck him. The impact was like a solid punch and he fell on the ground.
He looked towards the direction from where the wind came and saw a muscular trainee standing there. That trainee was wearing a rugged brown paint and his upper body was fully exposed. He had long yellow hairs.
Noah grabbed the blade which came out of Voidran's body and got ready to fight.
Do you really want to fight me, crybaby?
Said the trainee.
Noah asked,
Who are you?
Lance, Lance Ashford.
Lance further questioned,
Your name?
Noah... Noah Astris.
Lance said,
Well, I was here when that group brutally murdered you and when your dragon sacrificed his life for you. So, you better not let his sacrifice go to waste and grow strong.
Noah was now not ready to trust anyone else anymore. It was because of his naive nature that Voidran had to die.
He asked to Lance,
Is there anything you want from me?
Not really.
Then leave me alone.
I refuse.
Lance charged at Noah and tried to punch his face but Noah dodged it and used the blade to attack Lance but the blade didn't even give Lance a small wound. The blade was very messed up, it has no sharpness.
Lance grabbed Noah's face and threw him at one of the tree behind Noah.
The impact hurt Noah pretty badly.
Aughh...
He stood up and grabbed the blade again.
Lance again charged at him and he again swinged his blade to slice Lance and this time again, the blade didn't do anything. Lance grabbed the blade with his right hand and grabbed Noah's neck with his left hand and smashed him in the ground.
He said to Noah,
Just give up and become my pupil.
I refuse...
Noah kicked Lance at the face and Lance felt the kick and let his neck go.
He used Void Travel to maintain a distance with Lance.
He made two mini black hole again and collided them near Lance but Lance, he easily blocked the energy waves coming towards him with his bare right hand palm.
Noah was surprised to see that, he had no hope to fight him but he still can't lose because Voidran sacrificed his laugh for Noah.
Noah charged at Lance with full speed and Lance used his speed to get behind Noah and striked his Carotid Sinus using his left knifehand.
Noah's blood pressure sensor got activated and his heart beat slow down because of which he fainted on the ground.
See, I knew the outcome all ready.
He grabbed Noah and carried him on his left shoulder.
After walking a certain distance, Lance came out of the forest in a mountain area infront of a cave and a big stone and on that big stone was sitting someone who massacred numerous trainees.
