UNLIMITED SPEED-Chapter 492 492. CITY OF ORPHOS

"Have they been wiped out?" Noah wondered out loud, lifting his gaze from the mass destruction below him.

"Thirty years," he muttered. That was a long time to be away from a place. He would have been considered dead in all ways. After all, he had even left that realm for a place outside of Cregar. The universe was vast. Ersha's memories told of many worlds and beings.

He doubted that reality. The Grand-masters were too strong for such a reality to exist. Merely the armored statues in their throne room would be able to stop tier 5's from ruining things.

Still, the question remained. Where was the city that housed the members of the great guild, divine lightning?

"They probably moved," he considered as an item he had never utilized before appeared in his hand. The communication amulet he had been given when he first joined the guild.

Noah activated the amulet and watched it buzz with golden lights before suddenly going off.

He furrowed his brows and tried again, but had to conclude that the amulet wasn't functioning. They could have re-modified things throughout the years he had been away.

Finding his guild would prove more difficult than he had initially planned.

Noah returned the amulet to his inventory and swept his gaze on his environment. His mind moved as a plan formed in his head. He would essentially need to ask for directions. But only powerful and involved individuals would know where the city had gone.

The first persons were Helena and her partner. He would need to ask them first, but before he left Noah dived toward the black crater.

The formerly crusty brown region had been replaced by that crater. Only tier 5's had that type of power. They could fit whole cities in the darn hole.

It was also deep. A few thousand meters in depth. It was an immense hole.

From the sky the crater emitted a faint powerful aura, but now that Noah got closer to it. He understood that the crater still carried heavy traces of the type of power that had formed it.

It almost choked him, but the amulet which had been given to him by the guild protected him. It had remained safe during his evolution process, and he could resume wearing it when he got out.

Noah landed at the depths of the dark crater and gazed at the sky from that perspective. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

Due to its vastness, it wasn't too dark, but he shook his head anyway. When he reached the 5th tier fighting would need to be taken high into the sky.

Even now that rule applied to him.

The soil was glassy and cracked, bearing the traces of the huge bolt of lightning that had dealt that damage.

Yes, just from being close to it Noah could tell which element had inflicted that terrible damage to the environment. There was even a huge pattern spreading in all directions within the crater.

He took to the sky a few moments later having achieved what he wanted. He simply added it to the list of places he could teleport to. After all, he felt certain that decades would have to pass before any real life could spring up from there.

A forest in a crater.

Teleporting back to the small city headed by Helena, Noah remained outside again, and his arrival once again startled the experts at the gate.

He unfolded his aura and spoke.

"No need to come here," his voice boomed forth, but he made it harmless for lower experts, but they had covered their ears due to his loudness.

"Do you know where the divine lightning city has gone?" Noah made known his request and he felt a consciousness interact with his.

"Sir Noah, this is unnecessary commotion," Helena responded, but he remained silent.

"I don't know where the guild has moved to. After the battle between them and certain experts of the elves 24 years ago, their Grand-masters moved the island north-west of the nation.," She explained from wherever she was.

"I have no idea where exactly, but I know someone who could. She's far from here. But the last time we spoke she mentioned her connection with a few experts from the great guild. They've been all over the place ever since the guild council's emissary had been wiped out."

"Tell me of this person, and I shall go to meet her," Noah mentioned.

"I don't trust you enough. She's my friend. I cannot send someone potentially dangerous her way. Please understand," Helen explained.

"I do. What can I do to prove my goodwill?" Noah asked, already arriving at a quick solution.

Helena was silent, so Noah pushed his suggestion forward.

"I can show you my guild crest stating that I belong to the great guild," He suggested, and her mind gasped.

"Yes," Noah responded calmly. While parting his robe to reveal his chest. He considered hurting the guild and watched as a crest lit up on his chest.

Noah felt Helen's mental waves interact with his chest.

"I see. That is enough proof. You're simply a lost member who needs to find their way back," Helen stated, even if she tried to reassure herself. Noah didn't feel human to her senses, so her instincts were naturally suspicious even if he meant no harm.

Noah closed his chest at that point and gazed at a certain area far into the city. He could see the tall structures that filled it and even traces of humans.

"I'll inform her of your coming," Helen spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"She's Nora. And is one of those individuals strong enough to be deployed at the outskirts of the nation," Helena explained.

"She's based in the city of Orphos. It's a great distance from our position, but I believe it's not a problem for you," Helena explained and Noah nodded.

"I advise you to take this," Helena suggested as an object approached Noah. He stopped its flight with his consciousness shocking her at how easily he had nullified her mental waves.

"Thank you," Noah announced after checking the map's contents. She was right, Orphos was a great distance from that region.

"One piece of advice, she's a weird and potentially infuriating individual who sees everything as a challenge. She might challenge you when you meet. Please be careful," Helena explained, genuine worry and apology in her tone.

"I don't find that an issue," Noah revealed. "I'll be taking my leave now. I'll remember the kindness you showed me today," he announced performing a bow.

"I'll hold onto your words. I hope they are trustworthy," Helen responded.

Noah said nothing at that point. He moved his mental waves and sprinted toward the direction of the city of Orphos.

'That was convenient,' Noah commented miles away from that city. But thanks to his emotionless state, joy did not overtake him. He was constantly prepared for anything.

And that was a good thing since he would need to focus on the journey before him.
