Noa spoke without the slightest courtesy. Leaving aside Legend's current state, even at his absolute peak, Noa still would not have deigned to look at him. He fired another beam of light straight at the Upper Mythic expert.
Legend lay upon the star beneath his feet, utterly disinclined to move. Having already taken two blows from Lucifer, he was severely injured to begin with, his core cracked. Then he had expended a vast amount of energy in his battle against Saga, only to be struck by Noa the moment he arrived here. While he wasn't going to die right away, if he didn't patch himself up soon, the end wouldn't be far off.
Meanwhile, that Upper Mythic expert in the distance, having taken the hit, finally figured out what was going on. Without another word, he spun around and fled. Since he couldn't possibly win, staying put was just waiting to die—a thoroughly sensible choice.
