[Incandescent Chaos Bearer] :: A Unique Existence that has lived between the border of chaos and fate for many years, choosing the side of chaos as it has grown to be so proficient that it has touched upon the abstruse concept of Destruction.
The name of the Boss of the Incandescent Fate Treasure Plane was shown in front of Noah as he glanced over its details with a solemn expression.
Its description was short and concise, with Noah focusing mainly on the part that showed it had exceeded even chaos as it comprehended something else.
A concept of Destruction!
From Noah's knowledge, he knew that this must be the stage above laws……the stupendous realms of Universal concepts known as Daos!
Such a thing……he wanted it in his hand, but he knew it would be extremely hard to get his hands on it when he looked at the enemy he had to defeat.
But, he had prepared for a day such as this.
When an exceedingly powerful enemy appeared as he might not have any way of taking it down……it meant that it had to be taken down in waves.
The method he made to achieve this……was in the form of Units!
Aside from the main team that he regularly used, he had spent his abundant Diamond and PLATINUM Cores to buy Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store, where he then went on to use his even more abundant Upgrade Crystals to fuse hundreds of Units at the Diamond Rank and tens at the Platinum Rank.
He also had 32 Unit Shards of freshly unsummoned SOUL Rank Rift Bosses that he planned to deploy if ever an unfortunate death occurred during his fights!
This was all his savings for the past 2 weeks of farming.
This was where he spent most of his Cores and Upgrade Crystal Reserves as he prepared for a day like today, and it actually came!
Deaths……seemed to be inevitable in the battle to come as he would have to enact his plan of reducing the enemy's strength with waves of Unit Teams that would try to last as long as possible, reducing the strength of this enemy before ultimately taking it down.
THRUM!
The large cavernous space that the Boss of the Incandescent Fate Treasure Plane was in began to tremble as its aura shot out madly. Noah's eyes squinted as he waved his hands to command the Units of his prime team back into his inventory,? calling forth 12 SOUL Rank Units that made up a team he considered "Disposable", not even bothering with releasing a Platinum Unit Team as it would only be shredded in front of this Boss that would be two levels higher!
SOUL Rank against the WORLD Rank……at least this might be feasible.
Aside from him having nearly 3 back up teams after his prime team, there was also himself.
When he made his advancement into the SOUL Rank, his two Inherent Skills also advanced a stage as he unlocked two new abilities.
||Mind Dominator|| :: A weak mind cannot advance far in the future. This is an inherent skill that strengthens the mind of the user while granting them abilities that can dominate others. The abilities [Subjugate], [Mind Connection], [Remote Control], [Dominator's Consciousness], and [Evolve|Devolve], and [Spatial Puppet Master] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will become usable as the User rises through ranks-[Mind Guider] ……
||Telekinetic Emperor|| :: An inherent skill that grants its user the capability to manipulate matter with their mind. Constant and continued use of the abilities of this Inherent Skill will only work to increase the mental strength of the Telekinetic Emperor. The abilities [Matter Manipulation], [Mental Field], [Telekinetic Energy Emission],[Field Master], [Ruler's Emenation], and [Telekinetic Constructs] are currently unlocked. Locked abilities that will become usable as the User rises through ranks- [Precognition]……
From the Mind Dominator, it was [Spatial Puppet Master], while the Telekinetic Emperor granted a new ability termed [Telekinetic Constructs]!
The one currently in focus that Noah planned to use to help in taking down the terrifying Boss ahead of him was Telekinetic Constructs.
[Telekinetic Constructs] :: The Telekinetic Emperor can actualize mental energy into movable constructs of his choosing, having a finer control of the released energy as its power is elevated over ten times.
Yes!
Noah could actually exert even greater control over his mental strength as he could actualize it into any forms he wished at this moment! If he wanted to construct spears, swords, armors……any sort of constructs that he had in mind, as long as he could provide enough energy for it- he could utilize it.
WAA!
As his thoughts churned, his 12 newly called on Units moved towards the terrifying creature whose body began to vibrate with a chilling black aura, its eyes cold as it waved its hands to cause the appearance of enormous spears palpating with the darkness of the abyss!
These spears carried with them the essence of multiple laws, but they also held a tinge of the terrifying essence of Destruction that caused alarm bells to ring in the minds of the SOUL Rank Units. Before the spears even arrived, Noah's mind moved as waves of mental essence erupted from him, the constructs he chose to form with all the essence he released actually being a set of armors that protectively wrapped around the Units.
It was all for the sake of survivability!
Among the newly put forth Units, there was a Light Overseer who stayed behind casting golden shields to rotate around the other Units, an Imperial Life Phoenix ready to release powerful Healing skills for anyone whose defenses were pierced through.
And when it came to the attacks of a being a Rank higher than them who also held the concept of something higher than even Universal Laws……
BOOOM!
Some of the units were flung back as if they were doll rags even with their exorbitant amount of mana and protection, many of them managing to survive by a hair's breadth due to Noah's protection as his mental essence wrapped around their bodies protectively!
The heals from the Light Overseer and Imperial Life Phoenix came down as Noah was also ready to distribute potions, a battle of attrition occurring against a powerful Rift Boss as the strategy of slowly grinding it down with sheer numbers and the use of potions began.
The Incandescent Chaos Bearer's face was placid at first, but as a minute passed where it flung back Noah's units with powerful attacks only to have them recover seconds later caused her expression to turn wrathful, her body crackling with the essence of many laws as behind her, the essence of the concept of Destruction began to be inlaid with her attacks.
THRUM!
The very air crackled as chaos storms began to form around the Chaos Bearer, Noah's units beginning to be ground down as one of them actually faced death at this instant!
Yet Noah's face remained passive as the moment this unit died, another set of Unit Shards were fused as another SOUL Rank Unit took its place.
"Let's see who can hold out longer. You……or the tools of my System!"
WAA!
While chugging a mana potion and using his mental energy to send even more potions into his Units, Noah got into the pace of the battle as he personally stayed far away from the Incandescent Chaos Bearer, simply using [Telekinetic Constructs] to grant his Units enough defenses to withstand the attacks of this creature a level higher than them as they would be reinforced and healed with the defensive units as time passed!
Yet, Unit after Unit still fell as the minutes passed, the attacks of the terrifying Rift Boss being relentless as it just seemed to become more and more enraged.
Three Light Overseers were acting as Tanks at this moment, withstanding its deadly attacks tinged with the concept of Destruction as vibrant golden shields surrounded them as they healed themselves back to back!
Aether Dragons and Propitious Unicorns flew in the skies of the wide cavern and laid down appalling attacks……this cycle repeating as over an hour passed!
13 Units had perished as of this moment.
The aura of the Incandescent Chaos Bearer had also begun wavering as her attacks became even more drastic.
Yet Noah stayed far in the back as he continued to control the pace of the battle, around 20 Spare SOUL Rank Units still in his reserves for him to use even without putting his original team into account!
His heart burned with the death of each Unit as it represented too many resources, but he was also expectant for the end of this battle as what he would be able to obtain was something much too grand!
Another half an hour passed.
The wide golden cavernous space was filled with cracks from attacks of multiple laws as well as the largest cracks that contained a hint of the concept of Destruction.
The Incandescent Chaos Bearer was now missing one of its golden wings as its face was bloody, its golden irises rotating maddeningly at the possibility of it even being defeated with lesser beings!
OOOOH!
It bellowed out madly as chaos exploded from it, this chaos carrying a hint of destruction as two nearby Units weren't fast enough- being wiped out instantly.
SHAA!
Yet……two more Units identical to them took their places a second later as the Chaos Bearer screamed in frustration!
Its bellows seemed like the dying calls of a majestic creature that didn't expect to be taken down in the way that it had.
Another 30 minutes passed.
The spare Units Noah had saved up this entire time were nearly all wiped out, but the result was the Chaos Bearer missing multiple limbs as it lay at death's door! Its gaze was unwilling as its golden eyes locked murderously with Noah's, but he didn't even give this creature a chance for any last minute attacks as he waved his hands, ushering forth the 12 Units of his main team- every single creature being brand new as their attacks released the moment after they were summoned.
BOOM!
Aether, Light, and the essence of the Laws of Life thundered down as a second later……the Origin of a WORLD Rank expert shattered.
THRUM!
Glorious golden light erupted out as when the scene of deadly skills cleared, Noah could see the fractured body of the Incandescent Chaos Bearer, an even brighter golden light erupting out in the next second as the body of this creature was split apart……the bright glimmer of loot beginning to shoot out from it as Noah could see tens of Universal Law Crystals and Cores fly out, as well as a glistening core the size of his head that shone with a terrifying dark light!
It was an eruption of loot!
