299. Second battle

The cultivators on the desolate mountain stared with wide eyes at the spikes stabbed in the layer of water.

"I wanted to replace the spikes with a rank 3 material too but I don't think that something on that level would survive the explosion. Also, it will lower the actual damage that its capable of so I need to stick with it."

Noah explained, standing up from his crouching position and carefully inspecting the damages on Leo's spell.

The spikes didn't manage to break through it but they still did some damage, Noah concluded that they were the most powerful aspect of the Instability.

Leo watched his spell with a complex expression.

Noah's weapon was almost useless against rank 3 cultivators but it seemed to be quite effective against those in the second rank.

The casualties in the monthly battles were always red or blue cultivators, increasing their battle prowess would sharply lower that number.
