Time passed as the Sea of Chaos churned.
Noah currently stood on the balcony of the peaceful castle surrounded by the chaotic sea, the dark waves making him think of an unknown future as at this time, he could only take it step by step.
The night had passed as he and Annalise were forced to eat and drink by a certain powerful being, Annalise being knocked out long ago as only Noah remained.
Behind him, the steps of the eccentric Dimensional Ruler sounded as Catherine came to stand beside him soon after, her face placid as they stared at the same chaotic sea with many differing thoughts!
Noah spoke up lightly first.
"I wish to delve into all of the Elemental Dimensional Rifts and any Platinum and higher ranked Rifts present in the Sublunary Plane. If I could get your help with this…"
Noah wanted to make his life even easier as he turned towards Catherine and spoke, the girl turning towards him with her head tilted to the aide as she nodded without asking too much.
"There's a rare WORLD Rank Chaos Element Dimensional Rift within this Realm called the Labyrinth of Chaos that I've delved in over the years to obtain enough Chaos Crystals until I assimilated the law fully, we can dive in there and a few other Rifts within this Realm that match your specifications!"
…!
"I'll also get to see your usage of the Dao of Destruction first hand before we spar…"
Her face held a devilish smile as she sail this, Noah only nodding lightly as he heard the steps of a groggy Annalise come up soon after.
After everything was ready, these three being set off from the calm castle floating peacefully in the chaotic sea as they flew towards a certain region at high speeds!
The sea around them churned dangerously as Noah only watched its enticing beauty, following Catherine's lead as they flew across a few miles of sea before they soon came across a pulsating black portal that was half-submerged in the chaotic sea.
The rough waters smashed into it constantly as it forever remained stable, Catherine motioning to them to follow as she delved into it a second later!
This would be the first WORLD Rank Rift that Noah had ever descended in, and one that was a Chaos Elemental one at that as his heart was filled with expectations!
The Elemental Rifts he cleared before were only at the Diamond Rank as with their clear time, he could obtain 20% of a Universal Law from the Loot resources every day.
But this Labyrinth of Chaos was an Elemental Rift three levels higher, and he wondered how extravagant its loot would be!
No matter how expensive and dangerous it was though, he was entering it with a Dimensional Ruler at the STAR Rank that had delved into it for many years as she knew it like the back of her hand, and he himself was in the WORLD Rank as the only Annalise was a level lower than the Rift at SOUL.
Just how vast and numerous the resources of such a Rift would be? Noah would get a chance to find out soon after as he appeared in the starry space of the Labyrinth of Chaos.
That's right- space!
The name said Labyrinth but…
"I'm not sure what level of Rifts you have entered before, but some of them expand to become vast challenges as the one for the Labyrinth of Chaos...it is to clear the Worlds below us of all Chaos Dimensional Beasts"
…!
Noah's eyes constricted as he looked around him, seeing 3 planetary bodies floating peacefully below them as the auras of powerful Beasts could be felt from each of them!
They had to actually defeat Dimensional Beasts from three genuine worlds for a Rift at the WORLD Rank, Noah's eyes Blazing with excitement when he thought of the possible rate of Universal Law Crystal collection from such a high level Rift.
He looked at the nearest World around them as his figure shot down towards it, Annalise and Catherine following him down as he passed through the thin boundary of the world and descended to its dark skies soon after, his eyes landing on its surface as he saw dark mountainous valleys rolling around- each of them filled with the figures of powerful Beasts in the millions as the aura of SOUL Rank mobs permeated while he felt the powerful auras of multiple WORLD Rank Rift Bosses dangerously spread out across the regions of this world!
RUMBLE!
Essence erupted from him as with a gaze of excitement, he called forth his 12 Units that were all still at the SOUL Rank, his eyes flashing brightly as he cast [Telekinetic Constructs] to allow Incandescent blue black armor to surround each of their bodies protectively.
They might not be able to single handedly face the powerful WORLD Rank Rift Bosses on their own, but they could stand against them and even defeat them with Noah's powerful reinforcements!
This was because the mental essence he released while casting [Telekinetic Constructs] even caused the brows of Catherine to rise, this Dimensional Ruler seeing the essence of Destruction that she sought for releasing with this wave of essence among many Universal Laws.
She nodded thoughtfully as after the Units were fully armored, they spread out across the regions of the World to begin decimating the Beasts within as Noah went towards the aura of one of its Rift Bosses near their position.
ROAAAR!
A bellow of a terrifying creature could be heard soon after as from the peak of a dark mountain, an oversized beast flapped its wings and rose, Noah getting to see it clearly as an enormous bat with wide spanning wings came up before them!
On its chest, a beautiful illusory world could be seen as it signified this creature standing powerfully in the WORLD Rank, Noah's eyes flashing brightly as he went towards it without any fear.
Normally, he would fear a Rift Boss at the same level as him as it held strength that was 10 times what normal Blessed held!
But...he now held the support of a myriad of Universal Laws and even a Grand Dao that was even more powerful than laws.
BZZZZT
The essence of the Telekinetic Emperor flashed out beautifully as his eyes flashed with blue light, [Ruler's Emenation] being cast first as his oppressive aura that carried the essence of a Dao crashed into the Rift Boss and caused it to quiver, its soul trembling from the abstruse concept of Destruction as it roared out madly after that, the huge bat waving one of its sharp wings towards Noah!
WAA!
It thundered does in gorgeous arcs of light, Noah only glancing at calmly as around him, his [Mental Field] was already reinforced by the essence of Destruction and many laws as he wanted to test its resiliency.
...BOOM!
The Dark skies shook as the wing of the Rift Boss smashed into his protective Mental Field, causing it to ripple and distort as it never broke, but he did feel a large amount of his mana being used up as the might of a WORLD Rank Rift Boss was still terrifying!
"Good!"
He called out gloriously with a smile as he saw that his strength had truly elevated greatly, being able to even withstand the attack of a Rift Boss at the same level! He pulled out a Mana Potion as he chugged it an instant later, waving his hands as he utilizing [Field Master] to call forth an Attractive Force that pulled the Chaos Bat towards him, Telekinetic Constructs already forming in front of him as it was huge drills that rotated at fast speeds.
THRUM!
Noah let the drills containing the essence of laws and a Dao thunder down at the beast being pulled forward by an attractive force, blood spraying out for the first time as the defenses of this powerful beast were breached!
Under the gaze of a Telekinetic Emperor with an elevated mind and abilities carrying the essence of a Grand Dao, Noah was actually able to match the Chaos Bat on his own as a terrifying battle made its debut in the skies.
Catherine watched this with shining eyes as she chased after the abstruse energy that Noah was using, while Annalise had gone down below where powerful SOUL Rank Beasts roamed as her eyes blazed with a cold light.
The Inherent Skill of [Ice Queen] had been elevated to greater levels every time her Rank rose, and now stood at an extremely powerful stage as from her body, droves of ice and Frost erupted out as they formed into the shapes of Beasts before her!
Soon enough, Ice Dragons, Ice Mammoths...numerous Beasts encased in ice thundered towards the enemies below as the body of the Ice Queen emanated intense coldness and might.
The duo of brother and sister fought their way across this Chaos World as powerful beasts carrying the law of chaos within their bodies shot towards them in droves, Catherine not lifting a finger throughout as it was only with the help of the 12 Units Noah had released were they able to slowly take down the 4 WORLD Rank Rift Bosses within this World and the remainder of the normal ranked Beasts in 35 Minutes.
It took them 35 minutes to clear the Chaos World, and there were 2 more just like it for the Dimensional Rift termed the Labyrinth of Chaos!
Noah wiped his brow as they flew out of the empty world after over half an hour, this being one of the few times where he and Annalise had just been chugging Mana and Health Potions to reinforce their strength as the beasts were truly too powerful.
Catherine had not made a move throughout as it was their turn to watch this powerful being do her work, their bodies stepping into the void of space as Noah and Annalise were about to descend into the second Chaos World when they were stopped by Catherine.
"Now, let me show you how to truly clear a Dimensional Rift efficiently…"
RUMBLE!
Her small body trembled with power as the fully assimilated essence of Chaos emanated from her, her body blazing with a dark aura as she stopped Noah and Annalise from descending into the Chaos World because...she was forming a punch that she wanted to throw towards it!
…!
Noah's eyes widened at this incredulous scene as he reminded himself of the ranks of beings.
At the STAR Rank, beings held enough strength as they could display might even capable of shattering stars.
It seemed like a Dimensional Ruler wanted to display this might right now as compared to Noah and Annalise's inefficient clearing where they spent over 35 minutes to clear one Chaos World, Catherine was throwing a punch towards one as she threatened to decimate it in seconds!
Ah!
