Chapter 495 - A Star Forging Expert Arrives

Noah's mountainous form had reduced as he floated in the void of space, his eyes overlooking the tens of thousands of bodies floating in a mess of bloody gore. The Harbingers were cl.u.s.tered around him as they sensed their Master's introspective look, Barbatos and Kazuhiko being the ones that could still bypass the aura that Noah released to be the ones actually conversing with him at this time.

"We've come a long way, little fish."

The fiery Barbatos had gradually become more and more docile over time, her gaze currently shaking incredulously as she observed their surroundings with sparkling eyes.

When she chose to betray her own kind and follow Noah, she had done it for her own selfish reasons of wanting to be free to do whatever she wanted, and she had thoroughly enjoyed her time since then to the point where she still could not believe it.

Traveling wondrous worlds and being a part of a unique one that was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Enjoying the ridiculously talented being's company and food, as well as achieve a realm of power that was out of her wildest imagination. 

All of it was made possible by her decision to follow this single man, and now she floated in the void of space of the Dark Expanse, having just stood against a powerful being at an entire stage above her as she and those working with her achieved victory.

It was unbelievable, surreal, and most of all exciting!

Her wild heart was feeling calmer and calmer as she experienced so many things the past few months, her gaze towards the bloody void of space actually holding a tinge of happiness.

Behind her, the hidden face of Elena that was filled with wild fanaticism glanced at Noah, numerous thoughts crossing through her mind that only she knew! At this point in time, another voice resounded out to the right of Noah.

"I just want something at least similar to the abilities you have. Come on, what skill tree did you unlock that gives you chaining chaos lasers? Or the abilities in the Blood Lord skill tree, I should at least be able to get those? Right?"

Kazuhiko was looking at Noah in an imploring tone as he had observed the spectacular abilities he released to decimate the Celestials, wanting the same for himself as he also wanted to dominate the battlefield in such a way!

"Haha, I'll tell you the route I followed for Blood Lord, you should be able to reach it if you can raise your proficiency fast enough."

Noah laughed as he replied and stopped staring at the bloody expanse of space, looking at Kazuhiko and Barbatos as these were the few figures who could still converse with him with ease, reminding him that he still had those he could comfortably talk to and even joke around with!

He glanced at the rest of the Harbingers that were no doubt reveling in the victory as they counted their spoils of the battle, sending his thoughts across as he saw the forces of the Verittas Fortress look towards them.

"You guys head back to the Spiritual World first, I'll deal with everything else here."

The Harbingers ascertained his words as the numerous figures around him began to disappear one by one, where he was soon only left with the silent but sharpened Infernal Legion that floated powerfully in the expanse of space.

He sent a command for them to remain stationary as he went towards the figures of Commanding Mage Turner, the Dark Wizard Shanora, and the Royal Vampyre Rokku who was looking at him while constantly fidgeting.

These three World Rank experts had been cleaning up the battlefield while ascertaining the losses and taking care of the tens of thousands from the forces of the Prime Worlds that had surrendered, the fate of these beings that were not necessarily blameless in the war but could still be considered victims being treated in a very humane manner!

Some of them fully believed in the propaganda of the Celestials and came to the Dark Expanse with that purpose, others were skeptical and only came along because the Celestials oversaw the Light Expanse and could not really be told no when they gave a directive. 

There would have to be clear distinctions in the future in how forces such as this would be handled, as those in the Dark Expanse could not just open themselves up to attacks or not defend themselves against those that didn't have the title of Celestials but still participated in the war nonetheless.

Noah had his own thoughts for the future as he glanced at the spread forces of crestfallen beings, the memories he had collected for those that died from the many Prime Worlds set aside to be used for something grand in the near future!

"I have to give you our heartfelt gratitude for helping us keep control of the Verittas Fortress and not allow the Celestials further into the Dark Expanse, O Infernal Lord."

Commanding Mage Turner had began speaking to him in a much more respectful tone than before as he neared, the other World Rank experts actually turning mute as they could not even bring themselves to address him!

Noah nodded towards them as his mission here was finished, where he would soon go back to report to the Infernal Realm. His gaze landed on the Royal Vampyre as he had an entirely separate train of thought about this being and the tens of thousands of Vampyres that still stood behind him, all of them having quizzical expressions as they looked towards him but neither of them bringing themselves to say anything.

Noah knew his display of abilities of the heavily advanced Blood Lord skill tree would catch the attention of the huge faction of Vampyres in the Dark Expanse, and he had done this intentionally as he waited to see if they would be provoked enough to move, his bloodline allowing him immense leeway when it came to Vampyres!

His red eyes turned to the Royal Vampyre Rokku as he decided he might as well begin with the Vampyres here, but at this moment, the aura of a powerful being began to descend onto the Verittas Fortress.

…!

The gazes of the World Rank experts moved as they looked up in shock, noticing a red streak of light barreling forth towards them as their bodies unconsciously moved their essence in case it was a new enemy, but they calmed down as they sensed the descending aura that felt more and more familiar.

RUMBLE!

It brought with it space rumbling majesty as the figure of aged but devilishly handsome Vampyre appeared in the void of space above the Verittas Fortress. Bright silver hair running down to his shoulders and shockingly red eyes that showed experience and age glanced around. His eyes were squinting as he locked them towards the tens of thousands of Vampyres, and then towards the being they were all wondering about!

OOOM!

His power wildly flew out as it announced grandly- the Star Forging Realm being, the Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok, had arrived!

Noah's eyes glanced at this being calmly as a rumbling voice rolled out from the aged face.

"I'll have to take some of your time to ascertain a few things, O 9th Infernal Lord."

…!
