The air vibrated with intense power as in front of Noah, there was a line up of 2 Conflagrant Pegasi, a Light Equipment Guardian, a Frost Basilisk...and 2 Aether Half-Dragons!
He had gone ahead and fused another two Aether Drakes to produce another Aether Half-Dragon, the oppressive aura the creatures released being doubled as their bodies shone with a resplendent purple luster.
Noah was looking at this scene with intense eyes as he felt a great sense of accomplishment- the reality of 6 GOLD Rift Bosses having actually been achieved by him!
One must not forget that the entire party of Units...was also made up entirely of High Tier Elements of Light and Aether.
It was Dimensional Rift Bosses that were a notch stronger than most, the terrifying might they could release still yet to be fully explored!
Noah enjoyed the sight of the powerful Beasts for a few more seconds before he waved his hands to send them back into his Inventory, leaving the Waiting Room and reappearing back into the mountain where he left behind 6 Gold Experts.
Darkness had already descended as the area around Noah was extremely quiet, without the sound of even a single animal in sight! This was of course due to the 6 Gold Blessed that stood in a circle while waiting for their Master.
Their eyes flashed with a glimmering blue light when they saw his return, rising up as their bodies pulsed with power!
Noah looked at the 6 figures as he still held the smile from completing a team of GOLD units, calling forth a Conflagrant Pegasus and an Aether Half-Dragon to appear behind him.
BOOM!
Their enormous bodies caused the mountains to shake as Noah's voice rang out!
"Let's head out!"
WAA!
The Subjugated Golden Commanders looked at this scene with fervor in their eyes as the six of them boarded the enormous Dragon, Noah getting on the back of the Conflagrant Pegasus as streaks of purple and gold took to the skies going towards City 4.
Over 200 miles from Noah's currently changing location, the bloody Wandering Plains were filled with a dreadful air as many Blessed were shown the terrifying scenes of the results of war.
The originally peaceful Plains were littered with the bodies of Blessed as since a few hours ago, the soldiers who would risk their lives to collect and bring back the bodies of their comrades had long given up- giving way to the shocking scene where Blessed still fought while thousands of dead bodies were around them!
In the dark of the night, the visibility was so low that some might even accidentally step on the bodies of their dead friends as they fought back against their enemies.
OOOH!
Shouts that stemmed from beings just trying to survive at this point continued to respond out, the biggest casualties being the masses of Blessed from the Bronze and Silver Ranked as the Golden Commanders only fell here and there.
BOOM!...SQUELCH!
Horrifying sounds continued to ring out as destructive Elemental skills flew all around, a Golden Commander from the Wild Continent overseeing a certain region of the Wandering Plains as his face was scrunched when he saw the casualties that continued to rise!
Many thoughts crossed his mind as the most persistent one was the thought of whether all of this was worth it.
For the Gold and Diamond Rift in the Imperial Capital? Were just these things enough to make it okay for so many beings who had family back home be sacrificed?
His face was cloudy as he sighed while observing the ongoing situation.
"When will Warlord Steel arrive…"
The voice was barely an audible whisper- something that even the Blessed who was sitting right next to him would not be able to hear. Yet...a resounding voice actually rang out in the mind of the Golden Commander as it caused his body to shake in excitement!
"You're this fearful, Johnny? Don't worry, I have arrived."
RUMBLE!
The voice was accompanied by a domineering aura appearing in the skies, this aura spreading in all directions as Commander Johnny and many others looked in the skies with excited smiles.
The battles below were brought to halt as many beings looked towards the dark skies to notice...a pristine White aura spreading out!
An aura so white and clear as it seemed like an erupting milky cloud, this aura bringing with it boisterous laughter as it thundered towards the Battalions of the Light Continent.
Many beings turned fearful at this scene as shouts began to resound across the battlefield, shouts that called the identity of the being tearing through the skies!
"DIAMOND…!"
"A Diamond Ranked Expert…!"
RUMBLE!
Hysterical shouts erupted out as the forces of the Light Continent saw the enemy send out a DIAMOND expert, this light of this terrifying being about to reach them as they scrambled to get out of the way!
Yet before a massacre could occur, a vibrant voice reverberated across the Wandering Plains as another aura that was even more oppressive erupted out.
"Warlord Steel, you are still just as vile even after all these years."
RUMBLE!
The voice came with an overpowering aura that stopped the advance of the DIAMOND Rank Expert from the side of the Wild Continent, the figure of a middle aged man dressed in white robes floating in the skies as his eyes shone with a sharp light!
"You…!"
Warlord Steel's face turned sour as the surprise attack from him that should have caused the downfall of many Golden Commanders from the Light Continent and win this battle was erased to nothing with the appearance of a certain Commander.
"Protector Chen!"
"The Impartial Protector!"
Shots of happiness erupted from the hearts of the Silver and Golden Commander from the Light Continent, calling the name of the powerful being appearing in the skies!
"You actually seem surprised that I could be here to stop your blatant bullying of those a rank lower than you? Pathetic what you have become after all these years, Steel!"
RUMBLE!
The face of Protector Chen shone with glorious light as his body erupted with power the skies being dyed white as two DIAMOND Blessed were about to clash for the first time since the war began.
From the side of the Dark and Wild Continent, it was a being that took the title of a [Warlord] to signify his terrifying power at DIAMOND, while from the Light Continent there was a [Protector] that shone with an illustrious light!
OOOOH!
In the skies above the Wandering Plains, a shocking battle erupted out as the being that had a hand in causing it...was silently finishing up the Dimensional Rifts of City 1.
In the past hours, he had successfully gone across the Gold Blessed of Cities 4-1, successfully taking them down through a myriad of means! Whether through using the Subjugated Blessed of previous Cities that they were familiar with, or causing a small commotion of battles breaking out that ended in less than a minute...through any means necessary, Noah continued unhindered as he neared his objective silently!
This was how after more than half the night had passed, all the Cities that had been under the control of the forces of the Dark and Wild Continent...they were now under him as he controlled the strongest GOLD defenders residing in these cities.
SHAA!
His figure and the figure of multiple Blessed were teleported out of the Silver Rift of City 1 as around the encampment, there was not a soul in sight but another Gold Blessed whose eyes flashed with a blue light, the usual guards that watched over the encampment being sent away as Noah's figure was not seen by a single being!
With the Gold Blessed in tow, Noah looked like a king walking in front of his subjects as he turned around to stare at the silver rift portal behind him. This single rift held great significance, as it was the last Rift Noah had to clear in the 10 Subjugated Cities...this Rift bringing to a close the shocking reality of him having taken over the strongest subjugated of all these Cities as he now had all of their Rifts on Idle Mode.
From the 4 new Cities, Noah had added 39 new Dimensional Rifts in Idle Mode as with the past 63...it granted him a total of 102 Rifts in Idle Mode!
A shocking number! And one that promised wondrous possibilities. For these rifts, the average timer for Iron Rifts came to 5 minutes, the Bronze Rifts came to 6 minutes, and the Silver Rifts had a gorgeous average clear time of 11 minutes.
With such a thing being over and done with, Noah felt his heart being immensely at ease as all he had to do from this point was wait for a ridiculous amount of loot to come to him. With a heart brimming with achievement, Noah's smile only deepened when he received information from a certain Gold Blessed he had sent to deliver shocking news to the forces of the Light Continent.
Of course, it was the Golden Commander Oden that he stationed to watch the unfolding situation of the battle in the Wandering Plains, this being letting him know that the development of two DIAMOND experts appearing in the skies of the Wandering Plains!
Such a battle was extremely interesting to Noah as after he achieved his goal, he cast [Remote Control] to borrow the sight of Commander Oden. He wanted to understand the power of the most powerful enemies he would face in the Ethereal Realm...the beings standing powerfully in the Rank of DIAMOND!
