The remaining Gold Blessed in City 9 did not even have a chance with the force that came, the one known as Commander Oden simply rising to the skies to find Rickat returning alone.
As this Blessed tried to figure out what was going on, a wave of intense mental energy from Noah's Inherent Skill rushed towards him, Noah using a lot of his strength to hold the body of this powerful Blessed in place in the skies for just a few seconds!
If he was facing the being alone, such a move would have used a majority of his mental strength and left him vulnerable if the enemy wasn't taken down, but since he had multiple Gold Blessed with him- even a single second where the enemy could not move could spell death!
The moment the body of Commander Oden was brought to a halt, he found to his shock and dismay the body of Rickat flashing with a powerful offensive skill to smash into him, Stephon's body also appearing from behind to land another attack as an instant later, the deadly force akin to a speeding train that was the Conflagrant Pegasus came up from below to knock the figure of the Gold Blessed into the skies like a rag doll.
Drops of blood were all that fell to the quiet grounds of the city after that as for anyone watching, they would have only seen bright flashes of light in the skies for a few seconds before everything came to a stop!
What occurred after was a subjugation after the body of Commander Oden became tattered and ragged, the two GOLD Blessed of City 9 silently being placed under Noah's banner.
That easy!
WAA!
In the skies, the wings of the Conflagrant Pegasus flapped majestically as Noah had his eyes closed, reading the memories of the two new Blessed as he expanded his knowledge of the forces of the two Continents and got a better grasp of the City below him.
What caused his eyes to burn with the light of ambition was that from the memories of Commander Oden, he actually found that this being from the Wild Continent had been in constant contact with a Golden Commander currently commanding a battalion in the Wandering Plains where the forces of the three Continents were clashing- this Golden Commander talking with Oden about the fact that in under 2 days, the war situation would change as a being capable of changing the entire battlefield would be sent over!
This was a shocking piece of information that meant the Wild Continent would actually send out a Diamond Ranked Expert first to cause a big splash in the war. Noah played close attention when it came to any experts at this level, every time he read the memories of the New Blessed looking for any information about them.
He roughly knew the numbers of those that publicly showed themselves in the Wild and Dark Continents from the memories of the 4 GOLD Blessed he had taken over so far, but he needed more information!
The piece of news about the deployment of a Diamond Expert was shocking enough though, as he knew the war was about to become even more tumultuous.
In the middle of this turmoil……he could obtain the most benefits if he moved rapidly!
While the three Continents were focused on their war and even planning to increase its dangers up a notch, Noah could fully take control of the Gold Blessed situated to look over all the subjugated Cities as when the battle in the Wandering Plains became even more chaotic- he could have a force of Blessed under him that was as strong as one of the armies battling in the Wandering Plains right now.
With each subjugated City having around 2 Gold Blessed overseeing it, with some cities having three- it meant Noah could have more than 20 Gold Experts under him! This was the number of Commanders deployed to lead the battalions at the warfront of the Wandering Plains at this moment! Noah's options after controlling such a force……would be heavily expanded.
Many thoughts swirled in his mind as he shifted his plans somewhat, accelerating how quickly he would go from city to city to subjugate the Gold Blessed there.
He stared down at the twinkling lights of City 9 as he eyes the Dimensional Rifts below, giving a shocking command to Commander Oden that would cause the turmoil of the war to only increase.
"Head towards the Wandering Plains in haste. Silently leak the news to the Commanders of the Light Continent that a Diamond expert will soon enter the field of battle!"
Noah's eyes shone brilliantly when he gave this command, plotting many things in his mind as sank into the City below to clear the Dimensional Rifts.
This was his main goal of going City to City, the Rifts within being tremendous boons to give him Idle Exp and numerous other resources to increase his power!
An example was the increase in Silver Rank Rifts- the more of these that he had, the faster he could gain the Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals, which meant the faster he could fuse new gold units!
It also gave way to the reality where he could obtain thousands of Silver Cores that he could utilize to raise a terrifying army. Of course, the results would only be expounded when he moved on to Gold Rifts and the only Diamond Rift within the Ethereal Realm.
Such thoughts always remained in the back of his mind as within City 9, he used Rickat's authority to blatantly enter the Rifts within as he and Stephon just didn't show their power, the Blessed who were overseeing the encampment simply looking forward in confusion as Noah knew they couldn't do anything at this moment, especially with the major forces of the continent focused on the battle at the Wandering Plains!
From the 2 Iron to the 8 Bronze and the 1 Silver Rift, he went from one to another as while he carried the terrifying force of 2 GOLD Light Units and 2 Gold Blessed along with his own terrific power, the rate of clearing the dungeons was just monstrous as his average clear time was around the same as the rifts within Academy City.
All in all, it took him just an hour and a half to clear all the rifts once, having an average of 5 minutes on the Iron? Rifts, 9 minutes for the bronze, and the single Silver Rift he blazed through in under 14 minutes!
This meant he added another 11 Rifts in Idle Mode, his bright eyes watching the timer ticking on these rifts as they landed on the ones that shone with a golden splendor- it was the Rifts from Academy City.
3 Iron, 3 Bronze, and one Silver.
These rifts had nearly been running on this timer for a day, their boxes shining intensely with a golden light as Noah couldn't help but click on them to see the fruits of his labor!
With the clear times of 5, 8, and 11 minutes respectively for Iron, Bronze, and Silver……the rewards were shocking to say the least.
IRON [+4320 Idle Exp][+13,00 Iron Rank Cores][+300 Blazing Armor]……[+445 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard]……[+27,000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals]
BRONZE [+5,400 Idle Exp][+9847 Bronze Rank Cores]……[+395 Bronze Rank Frost Wolf Shards]……[+25,134 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals]
SILVER [+2,640 Idle Exp][+3,145 Silver Rank Cores]……[+295 Silver Rank Molten Beast Shards]……[+8,445 Silver Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals]
"……"
A shocking set of details exploded in his mind after he clicked on the rifts, seeing his shocking rewards after moving around with vigor the past days as he was greeted with an unbelievable amount of loot.
Enough Iron Rank Unit Shards and Unit Cores to fuse over 10 Bronze Units, and enough of the same loot in Bronze for him to fuse over 10 Silver Units!
A shocking detail to recall was that since many of the Unit Shards were the same Dimensional creature from the loot of Rifts, Noah could fuse element specific Units all the way to Silver and Gold!
He could continue fusing multiple of the same Minotaurs all the way to Silver and Gold, or multiple units of the Ice Element or Fire Element.
It left many possibilities for the future where if he experimented and spent his time correctly, he could call forth an entire team of a specific Element if he wished!
Then there was also the matter of the most precious loot for him at this moment- the Idle Exp. Just from a single day, he had gained over 10,000 Exp! This was the old amount of exp he needed to upgrade the System, and he got it in just a day at this moment as it was one tenth what he needed to get to the 100,000 he required before the next upgrade.
All that from just a single day!
THUMP!
Noah could feel his heart beating clearly as he thought of all the wondrous possibilities.
The shocking results of reducing the clear time of the Rifts as shown above……it could effectively be multiplied in two after he added the rifts of City 9 that he just conquered- or maybe even by 3 as he added 11 Rifts from this city compared to the 7 in Academy City.
This was why he wanted to very quickly descend onto other cities and clear their Rifts as well!
Just with the addition of another City, he would be getting 20,000+ exp after 24 hours.
If he added the remaining 8 Cities and all the Rifts they held? That number would stupidly and easily spill over 100,000+ Idle Exp in just a day, with his being able to obtain a similar number when it came to Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals as it meant he could ridiculously fuse a Gold Unit every single day!
The numbers of Iron and Bronze Units he could fuse would become uncountable.
The number of cores would pile up to treasure mountains!
All these possibilities……they made Noah's eyes turn hungry with greed as in just minutes after he took control of the 2 Gold Blessed of City 9, his Conflagrant Pegasus rose to the skies as it began to fly towards City 10!
His blue eyes blazed with arcs of light as his mind just couldn't stop after he thought of all the possibilities!
