My Bugged System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 193: Test out abilities

With the invaluable help of Kael’s newly enhanced dark abilities, and also relying heavily on his own naturally sharp senses, Noah had also discovered a deeply unsettling truth during his time at the headquarters.

He had successfully detected that there were indeed actual shadow spies hiding silently within the dark, neglected corners of the guild.

These hidden entities had never once shown their faces to anyone before, managing to remain completely cloaked in the darkness, so absolutely no one else in the entire building knew they were even there.

They existed as perfect ghosts, completely bypassing the standard magical detection wards of the adventurer guild.

They were simply lying in wait in the darkness, completely motionless as they bided their time and faithfully waited to execute direct instructions from the higher-ups of the demons.

They were a patient sleeper cell, embedded deeply within human territory to monitor the guild’s actions and report back any major developments regarding the war.

Noah thought to himself that there were exactly ten of them in total scattered throughout the guild’s massive headquarters.

He had meticulously counted every single hidden signature, and even when he and Kael were speaking directly to Yaroth down in the cell, one of those ten spies was hiding right by the corner, quietly listening to every single word they were saying.

’I honestly thought it would try to attack me while my back was turned... but I guess they are far too wary of me now.’ he thought.

He recalled the absolute silence of the spy in the corner, realizing the hidden entity hadn’t dared to even change its breathing pattern while he was nearby.

It was completely normal for them to be that incredibly hesitant and terrified to make a move, though.

After all, he was none other than the legendary Mr. White—the mysterious, unstoppable powerhouse who had easily and ruthlessly taken down Tara, who was universally known as one of the strongest shadows in existence.

Noah hadn’t shared a single word about these hidden shadow spies with Morris.

During their entire conversation, he had purposefully chosen to keep that specific piece of information entirely to himself.

However, Noah was absolutely certain that Morris had already come to this exact realization on his own.

After hearing the deep, unsettling truth about the demons and their extensive operations, a sharp and experienced leader like Morris would have easily deduced the threat.

It was only natural for Morris to realize that the adventurer guild’s headquarters was no longer the safe, impenetrable sanctuary they had always assumed it to be.

The sheer scale of the demon invasion made it inevitable that their security had been breached.

What Noah definitely didn’t tell them, though, was the fact that he possessed a foolproof way to detect these hidden entities.

He kept the exact method of his heightened sensory perception a complete secret, choosing not to reveal how he could pinpoint their exact locations.

More importantly, he completely hid the fact that he had a powerful, ancient dragon currently hiding directly inside his very own shadow.

The existence of the legendary being resting within his shadow was a trump card that no one else could know about.

It was an extraordinary power that gave him a massive advantage over the hidden intruders.

These were deep, critical secrets that he simply could not afford to disclose to anyone at the headquarters.

With the demons keeping their invisible spies everywhere, crawling through the dark corners of the building, any piece of information spoken aloud could be compromised.

If he revealed his ability to sense them, or the presence of the ancient dragon, the spies would immediately report it back to their masters.

Keeping his true capabilities completely in the dark was the only way to maintain the upper hand in this silent war.

Noah let out a soft, quiet sigh as he stood there, his mind processing the dangerous situation. Slowly, his lips curled up slightly into a knowing, confident smile in the dim light.

’These shadows would definitely make a move very soon.’ he thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He felt it was highly likely that they would try to either forcefully free Yaroth from his cell or ruthlessly kill him to keep him silent.

The moment they finally decided to step out of the dark and execute that plan, Noah knew he would be perfectly ready to stop them in their tracks.

He shifted his thoughts away from the hidden shadows for a moment and focused his attention inward.

’For now, we should just test out your new abilities, or what do you think, Kael?’ Noah thought.

The ancient dragon chuckled deeply, the sound echoing softly and warmly inside the depths of Noah’s shadow. The powerful creature seemed entirely amused and eager to stretch its power.

’Yes, of course!’ Kael responded readily, his voice filled with a sense of excitement at the prospect of testing his newly enhanced abilities.

A few minutes later, the dark and cramped confines of the guild’s lower cells were far behind them.

Noah was now positioned incredibly high up in the vast, open sky, far above the bustling city and the massive headquarters below.

The wind rushed past him, but he remained perfectly steady and composed in the high altitude.

He was flying through the air without the help of any traditional flight spell or magical incantation.

There was no glowing magic circle beneath his feet, nor was there any visible expenditure of his own internal energy.

Instead, he was simply drifting effortlessly through the ambient mana that naturally saturated the air around him.

By seamlessly blending his own presence with the atmospheric energy, he could move through the sky as naturally as breathing, completely weightless and free.

This was a miraculous ability he had unlocked solely by breaking through to the legendary realm of a supreme magus, though he was only just discovering the full extent of it now.

He hadn’t had the time to sit down and test out each of his new abilities as a supreme magus since he broke through.

Now, far away from any distractions, he could properly test out his power.

He could feel the fundamental shift in how his body and soul interacted with the world around him.

It was a level of existence he had never experienced before, a complete awakening of his magical senses that changed everything he knew about the nature of magic.
