A faint aura wrapped around his arms and greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he changed his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his greatsword slightly back, and his expression became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he moved. He stepped forward and swung his greatsword in a diagonal slash, but this time it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint arc of mana left the blade as he swung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s eyes widened slightly, and he quickly moved his spear to block. Mana wrapped around his own spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he blocked the sword, the mana slash still pushed him back a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward smirked. \"This is my family swordsmanship. Let’s see how long you can last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward attacked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each swing of his greatsword now carried mana blades that flew a short distance from the sword. Noah was forced into defense, constantly blocking and dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knew basic spear techniques, slightly better than complete beginners, but nowhere near Edward’s swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward didn’t just attack with those slashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Edward dashed forward again, but this time his movement was different. More controlled, more precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah blocked with his spear, but he immediately felt the difference. The attack was not just strong. It was refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Noah did the only thing he could. He defended and avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back, deflected a vertical slash, twisted his body to avoid a horizontal swing, then blocked another mana slash with the shaft of his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward’s attacks became faster and more aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s arms were starting to hurt from blocking the heavy greatsword again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t win in close combat like this...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah suddenly jumped back, creating distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward smirked. \"Running away now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the spear in his right hand and lifted it above his shoulder. His left leg moved forward and bent at the knee, his body leaning slightly back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana started gathering around the spear. More and more mana wrapped around the spear shaft and blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear began to glow blue because of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward noticed this and narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish, Noah threw the spear with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear shot through the air like a bullet, glowing blue, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound. The spear went straight toward Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Noah didn’t stop there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Okay... let’s do it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he threw the spear, he kicked off the ground and dashed forward, following right behind the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward looked at that with a smirk. He raised his greatsword and swung it with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatsword struck the spear and knocked it away, sending it spinning across the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just behind the spear, Noah appeared, since he was running behind the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward immediately tried to swing his sword at him. But at that exact moment, something was forming in Noah’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward didn’t notice at first. There was something going on in Noah’s hand. Mana gathered rapidly in Noah’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an ice sword formed in his hand instantly. A blade made entirely of ice. It was ice-blue in color. Clean and crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah swung it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward’s greatsword collided with Noah’s ice sword. Edward’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sword?!\" He was confused as to where it came from. Did he pull it from a storage ring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to step back. But he couldn’t move. His foot was stuck. He looked down for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice had formed around his foot, freezing it to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s eyes filled with excitement. \"Got you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward tried to curse, but before he could react—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s left fist moved. He had already formed an ice gauntlet around his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist, covered with an ice gauntlet, slammed into his right cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah, with a wide smile, had put all his strength into that punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That felt nice..’, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact was so strong that Edward’s head snapped to the side and his grip loosened on the greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice sword in Noah’s hand suddenly shattered into pieces. It was Noah who dismissed it, not because of the impact with the greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah didn’t stop. He sidestepped quickly and moved his right hand fast toward Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward tried to move, tried to defend. But he was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A partially formed ice gauntlet appeared on Noah’s right fist. He was not able to fully form it, but it was still enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah punched Edward directly on the chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward groaned in pain, his head snapping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah then completely lost control and started beating him without giving him any chance to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right fist was now fully covered with ice, forming a gauntlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was laughing loudly now. \"Haha! Where did your arrogance go now?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man! This is more fun than I had thought!\" Noah excitedly said those words while punching Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He punched Edward’s face. He punched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward couldn’t defend properly. His greatsword slipped from his hand and fell to the floor with a loud metallic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah kept punching him again and again, his ice-covered fists slamming into Edward’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students watching from outside were completely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Testu and Richard. They had horrified expressions on their faces. They didn’t expect the fight to turn like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the staff member acting as referee shouted loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Match over! Winner is Noah Eldritch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah stopped mid-punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Noah was enjoying it, and even laughing like crazy, that didn’t mean he had gone crazy. He was still in his right mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward’s body fell to the ground, groaning in pain. The ice that was freezing his foot also shattered into small pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah stood there, breathing heavily, looking down at Edward, who was lying on the floor defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... that was a fun fight,\" he said with a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward the fallen spear and picked it up. Then he put it inside the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-05T19:56:14.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce142bffab17c36288edb54bafdbe2c646efa7536297ecb0fe9eade06764fe81","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-31","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-29",144,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-cover.jpg"]
