Chapter 68: A Ridiculous Growth Rate! II

The next 24 hours were extremely busy as Noah worked with utter efficiency to clear the Shattered Light Plane Dimensional Rifts while dividing his attention for the future plans.

Of the tens of Subjugated Silver Blessed, many were sent outside of the city to act as eyes and ears. Of the lands that could now be considered part of the Dark Continent, the former Academy City was located tens of miles inland!

There were 9 other Subjugated Cities located tens of miles away from each other, with the forces of the Dark and Wild Continent officially considering them their own as they had already set up the system of resource collection and allocation to increase the might of their forces.

Noah's Silver Blessed were tasked with leaving the city and watching which areas the forces of the two continents were moving across, as well as the status of other nearby cities and which commanders dwelled within them!

This allowed them to have a clear idea of what was happening around them, while also learning of the bloody battle taking place in the Wandering Plains far from Academy City from the Golden Commander Stephon who continued to get regular updates because of his role.

The knowledge of the bloody wars only made Noah delve into the rare Rift with more vigor as he tore through their floors, intent on collecting as much loot as possible before he moved out.

He was already standing on the 20th at this moment as the Light Element beasts he faced increased in variety and power, and the loot he gained was just as wondrous as he got himself enough Light Unit Shards to summon 5 more units of this rare element!

It was actually another 2 Silver Light Guardians- the same one that came from him fusing the 2 Light Elementals.

As the Light Guardian was extremely deadly with his Invisibility skill and had boisterous defensive abilities, Noah already knew which Unit was getting fused next.

All he needed was a thousand more Silver Upgrade Crystals...which he would be receiving as soon as the 20th Floor GOLD Rift Boss of the Light Plane Rift was defeated!

ROAAAR!

A heart shaking roar was released from the much more powerful Rift Boss of the Light Element, the one they fought being a Sun Golem.

Terrifying defensive abilities backed out with its heavy attacks forced Noah to run around it in circles as his Conflagrant Pegasus wore down its defenses with his other units backing him up.

As for Noah himself, he was routinely utilizing the abilities of a ||Telekinetic Emperor|| as he found he could even restrict the movements of the Rift Boss for 2 seconds before its overwhelming force broke through his mental energy!

But this 2 second help he could provide every now and then caused the battle to go much smoother, the powerful Light Rift Boss of the Floor being taken down after another hour.

"Sheesh…"

Noah let out a tired sigh as a few hours had passed since he returned to climbing the Shattered Light Plane Dimensional Rifts, this 20th Floor with a GOLD Rift Boss giving him the last Upgrade Crystals he needed for another Gold Unit, along with his first +25 GOLD Unit Shards along with +100 Silver Shards for another Light Unit!

As he was teleported into the waiting room and the [1 Hour and 23 Minutes Remaining] in front of the Light Plane Dimensional Rift, he knew he would not be able to utilize the 25 GOLD Unit Shards for a while as when the timer finished and another High Tier Element Rift replaced the current one, he didn't know when he would come across it again.

But from it, he obtained a total of 6 Silver Light Units, and over 11 Bronze ones that he could fuse!

After the fusion of the Bronze ones, it meant he had obtained a total of 11 Silver Light Units that he could fuse to make his team become a full set of GOLD Light Units in the future…

Such a terrifying thought made his blood boil as he focused on the ones he could currently make!

His tired eyes summoned the two Light Guardians as the Silver Upgrade Crystals were pumped into them, a wondrous congregation of lights playing out as usual, followed by a prompt that Noah agreed to and finally...the fusion of a new GOLD Unit.

RUMBLE!

With a burst of light, Noah's sharp eyes found themselves staring at...a glorious set of armor and golden battle axes moving by themselves!

[Animated Light Equipment Guardian] :: A rare animated moving armor and weapon creature whose only purpose is to follow the orders of its master. It's abilities include [Invisibility], [Golden Shield], [Light of Dawn], and [Equipment Mode].

A gorgeous new GOLD Unit appeared in front of him, this one having a 4 meter tall Golden armor and battle axes as its body, golden energy moving through the gaps as it connected everything together!

The wondrous Invisibility skill was retained as [Golden Light] was a defensive skill that released an enormous illusory golden shield to block enemy attacks.

Meanwhile, Light of Dawn was actually an AOE Healing ability that healed everyone in a certain area!

But the most stupendous ability from this new Light Unit was the last one.

[Equipment Mode] :: The Animated Light Equipment Guardian is granted the highest honor of fusing with its Master, becoming a glorious set of Armor and Weapons adorned on its Master as all of its strength is given. +150% Increased Attack and Defense in this state.

…!

A skill that allowed the Animated Light Equipment Guardian to actually become a set of armor and weapons on his body...where he could reinforce himself with the strength of a Rift Boss thereafter!

"Good!"

He couldn't help but shout out at such an unexpected and powerful skill, a smile coming upon his face as he glanced at the remaining Silver Light Unit Shards and already summoned Silver Light Units that came out to 9, excited to see what the 4 GOLD Units coming out from them would be whenever he got his hands on enough Upgrade Crystals.

RUMBLE!

He glanced at the Shattered Light Plane Dimensional Rift one last time as he gave the command to leave the waiting room, heading back into Academy City as there were a great deal of things for him to do!

First was the reduction of the clear times of the Dimensional Rifts...and then he would set off to the nearby City 9 to carry out the plans he had been discussing with Annalise and Rose in the past few hours!

"Berserker, Stephon!"

He sent commands to the 2 GOLD Units as they were ready to go, a party of them, Noah, and the two girls moving silently in the night towards the Encampments of the Rifts that were already isolated for them alone.

Those hoping to dive into the rifts this time during the night would all be turned back as they were exclusively reserved for the beings that were the true power behind Academy City!

The girls wanted to let off some steam and continue training themselves while also watching just how much stronger Noah had grown, their eyes only becoming filled with shock when they saw his new GOLD Unit and him displaying the terrifying abilities of ||Telekinetic Emperor||. 

In the Iron Rifts, Noah's [Telekinetic Energy Emission] released tendrils of blue light that smashed onto the heads of the iron creatures and caused them to burst into brain matter with ease!

Along with the 2 GOLD Units and 2 GOLD Blessed, they tore through the Iron Rifts as the average clear time for all 3 Rifts...came down to 5 Minutes.

5 Minutes!

The same shocking reality played itself as they delved into the 3 Bronze Rifts, the ridiculous power that Noah and his Units displayed on top of the Blessed with them allowing the average clear time for these Rifts to be reduced down to 8 minutes!

Much of this time was spent wading through the Rifts as any Dimensional Beasts they came across were decimated in a single shot.

It was a shocking scene to experience as just a few days ago, these same Rifts had taken Noah an hour or 30 minutes to clear, but now he was going through them as if they were nothing!

What a shocking rate of progression! What a wondrous Idle Gaming System that made it all possible!

RUMBLE!

The boss of the Silver Rift fell as this last Rift was cleared in 11 minutes, the clear times of the Rifts within Academy City being brought down by a shocking amount as the Idle Exp and Idle Resources Noah could receive was about to explode.

The true overpowered nature of the Idle Gaming System...would soon start to display itself as the reality of hundreds of thousands of Cores, items, and skill books that would pile up to millions soon enough began!
