Chapter 87: Farming DIAMOND Units! II

A Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove appeared!

With the shocking speed of clearing that Koddrys provided, Noah's rewards were boosted even more that instead of 100,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals, he obtained 150,000! Such a thing meant that instead of clearing the Infinite Crucible's 40 Waves 2 more times, he just had to do it once more…

"Good!"

His eyes blazed with wondrous light as his body was taken out from the octagonal Crucible, finding himself back in the Waiting Room as he made his way over to the pulsing gateway a second later.

Into the Infinite Crucible again!

Noah began going through the waves just like before in a mechanical manner, doing his best to begin the process of farming DIAMOND Rank Units as he wanted to move with a full team of such terrific beings before the Legions of the Dark and Wild Continent reached the Light Continent!

ROAAR!

Within the Crucible, a terrifying Dragon's Breath that released scorching tendrils of Aether crushed down towards two GOLD Rift Bosses, their defenses ripped apart as when the breath receded they could barely move as they whimpered in pain.

SHAA!

A Destructive Ray then thundered out as the two creatures were bisected in half, the floor of the Crucible coming to a stop as the 40th Wave was cleared once more! The moment Noah got the prompt to continue or to give up, he unhesitatingly gave up as he knew another DIAMOND Unit was waiting for him at this moment.

[40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.]

The beautiful message appeared in front of his eyes again as the bodies of him and his units were warped out of the Infinite Crucible once more!

Noah then clicked on the Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove as a deep smile appeared on his face.

[Tier 1 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10,000 Gold Cores] [+150,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+40 Random Gold Equipment], [+100,000 Silver Cores], [+500,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+1000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]...

Upgrade Crystals, and even more Gold Cores that he could use to now buy Gold Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store similar to how he was buying Silver Rank Aether Drake Cores with 10,000 Silver Coins.

When he went back to the Dimensional Store and went to the GOLD section, he would be able to buy the Shards of Aether Half-Dragons, Conflagrant Pegasi, and Equipment Guardians for 10,000 Gold Each- having a unique selection for his future DIAMOND Team!

At this moment, he wanted his team to be somewhat balanced without just overly powerful Offensive Units, and it was why he planned to buy another Light Equipment Guardian for its powerful defensive skills and healing capabilities.

But for now...he wanted the ridiculous DPS of another full-fledged Aether Dragon as he utilized his 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Cores to enhance two Aether Half-Dragons and fuse another DIAMOND Ranked Unit!

RUMBLE!

Mana freely raged in the surroundings as Noah did ridiculous things with utter ease, yet another terrifying Champion of Aether appeared in front of his eyes. 

DIAMOND [Coadrien, The Champion of Aether] :: A full grown adult dragon of the Aether Element. It has gained masterful control of Aether as its enemies can be destroyed with a mere look. It's abilities include [Lightning Burst], [Aether Cage], [Destructive Ray], [Aether Rune Mark], [Aether Breath], and [Storm of Decimation].

Another Champion of Aether, but this time carrying the name Coadrien! Noah only focused on its terrifying purple scales and cold eyes that radiated regality, this terrifying Dragon seeming like a twin of Koddrys as the two of them looked at each other with a sharp light.

"Truly…"

Noah looked at this scene with utter wonder as he truly gave himself another DIAMOND Unit in just 5 hours! With the appearance of this second one, his clear time would be further reduced as he would soon enough even be confident to delve past the 40th Wave and be capable of clearing it to the 50th!

With a heart bubbling with enthusiasm, he delved back into the Infinite Crucible as he farmed to his heart's content.

4 hours later, another 300,00 Gold Rank Upgrade Units were obtained!

Another DIAMOND Ranked Champion of Aether appeared!

After that, the clear time was reduced by another hour as after 3 hours, another Champion of Aether was born.

That was a total of 12 hours to obtain 3 new DIAMOND Ranked Units! It was ridiculous, unbelievable, and it just should not be allowed! 

ROAAR!

When Noah looked at the magnificent sight of 4 Champions of Aether, he finally felt content with these terrifying Dragons as he then looked at the Units of other Elements. He visited the Dimensional Store in between his runs to the Infinite Crucible, spending 10,000 Gold Cores to purchase Light Equipment Guardian Shards.

It was time for him to make an overly powerful healing and defense Unit as after that with the inclusion of 4 terrifying Champions of Aether, he would go past the 40th Wave to obtain even more gorgeous rewards!

With his forces currently, he wasn't even afraid of meeting a DIAMOND Rift Boss in the Infinite Crucible or the Tower of Champions, and such a thing he was even looking forward to as it meant he would obtain DIAMOND Cores to enhance his strength into this level as well!

Another 2 and a half hours passed as he delved into the Infinite Crucible twice in this period of time, his clear time having been more than halved from the original time as the force of 4 DIAMOND Dragons was nothing to joke about.

The last two runs provided another 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals as this time, Noah had the fusion of another 2 Units to step into the rank of DIAMOND.

The wondrous golden colored Light Element raged around with the fusion of two Light Equipment Guardians, Noah's eyes expectant on the result as he wasn't let down, his shining eyes letting out gorgeous tendrils of blue light as they landed on a 20 meter large creature that shone gold from all around!

It looked like an enormous golden armor, beautiful gold light running through the gaps of its armor as it connected everything together, a hazy gold light congregating together as it formed a cloudy head. For its weapons, it held a huge golden hammer that pulsed with a shocking light, as well as a large golden Tower Shield.

It looked like a genuine protector of the battlefield as Noah glanced at its details!

DIAMOND [Glorious Paladin of Light] :: An autonomous living armor that has ascended to become a Paladin of Light. For healing and protection, no others in the same rank can exceed it. Abilities include [Invisibility], [Golden Shield], [Light of Dawn], and [Equipment Mode], [Summon Holy Totem], [Hammer of Glory].

A Paladin of Light. A glorious one at that! Noah's eyes shone as he looked at the details of the last 2 added skills.

[Summon Holy Totem] :: The Glorious Paladin of Light calls forth an ancient totem filled with the power of Light, this Totem hanging in the skies as it grants the Paladin of Light and its allies constant effects of [Resplendent Healing], [Boosted Defense], [Enhanced Attack], and [Righteous Light]. 

[Hammer of Glory] :: The Paladin protects in the most righteous way it knows- by laying down scorching judgment. This ability calls from a 50 meter Hammer of Glory that strikes down any nearby enemies, this Hammer releasing [Scorching Light Flames] in the 100 meter area where it lands.

"...well damn."

Noah glanced at the details of the skills with surprise as they seemed overly powerful, not wasting any time as he delved into the Infinite Crucible. This time around, he didn't plan on stopping at the 40th Wave!

The utility of the Paladin of Light was shocking to say the least, its abilities of healing and buffs being eclipsed by the shocking area of attack that was termed [Hammer of Glory].

On the 40th Wave where 5 Gold Rift Bosses were moving towards Noah from a certain direction, he gave a command as the golden shining Paladin of Light lifted the hammer it held to the skies before bringing it down!

[Hammer of Glory].

RUMBLE!

The skies trembled as they formed an enormous golden hammer that towered 50 meters in size, the oversized hammer thundering towards the group of 5 Rift Bosses and the normal Gold Rank Units following them as the impact was utterly decimating.

BOOM!

The floor of the Infinite Crucible shook as many Beasts were splattered to nothingness, but it was the scene that followed which was truly heart pumping! Golden scorching flames erupted from the point of contact of the hammer, spreading out to a 100 meter region as everything became covered by hellish golden flames that burnt down 5 Gold Rift Bosses to cinders!

WAA!

This was the terrifying power of the Paladin of Light! A defensive Unit whose one attack skill didn't lose out to the most powerful attacks of a Champion of Aether!

With such a creature within his team, Noah did not choose to give up on the 40th Wave as his eyes shone brightly with his voice ringing out when the prompt came.

"Continue!"

THRUM!

Mana exploded out as the mountain of corpses from the 40th Wave disappeared, Noah entering past it for the first time as he was about to come face to face with 30-40 Gold Rift Bosses per Wave, but the rewards were bound to be even more wondrous.
