"You will truly start a war between Ancient Powers if you do this!"
The voice of Prince Kirigan was relentless as his hand rose up, ready to give the signal to attack at any time as he first tried to salvage the situation.
But the being that had made him change his entire demeanor only smiled calmly as he twirled his fingers, where one would be able to notice a Galaxy flowing fluidly as his body still released immense Dao essence that pumped into his pets.
RUMBLE!
A brilliant light shot out as on the side, the Void Serpent entered into the Low Tier GALAXY Realm as its body grew even larger, more pronounced draconic features appearing on its head as its red eyes shone with even more l.u.s.ter!
ROAAAR!
A loud bellow released from it as when it calmed, Noah’s voice rang out clearly.
"I never looked highly at Ancient Powers before, and I won’t suddenly look highly at them now. We don’t need to talk so much, birdman. Are you ready?"
The question came out in a domineering tone as Prince Kirigan’s face turned sour, his eyes glancing at the two Aileron Royals he had tasked with checking if they could break out of this isolated realm as they looked towards him while shaking their heads.
His eyes then went back towards Noah as his expression became hard and livid, putting his hand down as all 18 Aileron Royals swarmed towards Noah, Anna, and his Three Animus Summons!
OOOOOH!
The bellow from the Colossal Helios Leviathan shook the very space itself as the enormous body of the Void Serpent Coiled out, the figure of the Mercurial Obsidian Panther erupting in a flash as it appeared in front of a Low Tier GALAXY Aileron Royal instantly.
As for Noah himself, he didn’t do much but cast an ability that he had cast once before- an ability that was able to heavily damage Low Tier GALAXY beings as only an Entity was able to stop its advance!
||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust||
THRUUUM...CRACK!
The skies quaked and rumbled as the verdant green hue released by the isolated Life Realm changed to a tinge of grey, deadly essence from the combination of the Ultimate Laws of Life and Death coming together as they neared the oppressive aura of a Dao!
This essence locked on to the 18 Aileron Royals as their expression heavily changed, their senses feeling their very surroundings aging as their bodies would soon follow if they could not defend.
They shockingly faced an ability that was very similar to the Dao they cultivated, an ability that caused the decay of its target!
Although what Noah cast could allow the progression or regression of the targeted beings...
RUMBLE!
The bodies of the Aileron Royals erupted out with the essence of the Dao of Withering as they covered their bodies fully, but their expressions remained solemn as they observed the ancient essence that could age them and their origins combat the defense of Dao essence, seeing that if they lost their focus even a little- this ability would deal great damage to them!
Yet...how could they keep their focus when three PRISMATIC Summons were rushing towards them?
SHAA!
The Mercurial Obsidian Panther was the first one to make a move as the Aileron Royal it appeared in front of and was defending against Noah attack only saw the phantom image of dark claws swipe past his head, a second later his face developing huge gashes where one could even see the white bones!
SHAA! SHAA! SHAA!
Yet before he could even react to the horrendous pain, the figure of the Obsidian Panther flashed tens of times around his body as wings were torn and shredded while his skull became fractured, his limbs shockingly seen detached a second later as even he could not follow the progression of attacks.
It was too fast!
POOF!
The moment this horrendous damage was dealt, the Aileron Royal could not defend against the eroding essence brought forth by ||Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust|| as his messy blood and bones quickly withered, his entire body exploding thereafter as shockingly from the explosion of this body...glimmering crystals erupted out.
Noah watched this singular scene as his eyes shone with intense splendor, observing the effects of the Affix that stated [Slain enemies have a 10% chance to drop Dao Crystals based on the Dao they cultivate] first hand!
With his increased Luck from the Protagonist trait, he expected the chance of his enemies literally exploding into loot to happen much more frequently than the stated probability.
As for the sight of the glimmering red Dao Crystals? They were truly beautiful to look at!
Do you recall looking into a screen after defeating droves of monsters and seeing tons of dropped loot that signified their rarity based on beams of gorgeous colors that shot to the skies? This was the scene that Noah was watching right now, his eyes seeing the Dao Crystals shooting out a bright red cylindrical light to the skies as it screamed out it was a prime loot!
OOOM!
He didn’t even have to wave his hands as the Dao Crystals that had exploded from this Aileron Royal rushed towards him along with the glistening GALAXY cores that came out thereafter!
In the middle of this terrifying battle where 17 Aileron Royals remained after just a second had passed, Noah even cooly glanced at the description of the Dao Crystals.
[Crystal of the Dao of Withering] :: A unique Dao Crystal that contains comprehensions in the Dao of Withering. When absorbed, one gains .5% Comprehension in the Dao of Withering.
"..."
His thoughts moved rapidly as he read over the details of the Dao Crystals, a single one providing half a percentage as he obtained 10 Dao Crystals from the exploding Aileron Royal just now. This meant 5% comprehension in a Lesser Dao could be gained by him if he wished from just slaying one enemy!
This was the same amount as using 10 seconds of the Protagonist’s Bookmark on an Entity, and yet it was made possible by a single Affix from the Ruination Core.
If he got lucky enough and obtained tens of Dao Crystals from the remaining 17 enemies...
THRUUUM
His origin called out hungrily as his essence moved, his eyes shining golden beams of light as he sent numerous commands to his summons!
He seemed like an archaic being commanding a battlefield as the Colossal Helios Leviathan below him moved, its wide jaws already shooting out horrendous plasma beams as the Void Serpent nearby opened its jaws to release an oppressive devouring force.
OOOH!
Seeing this stupendous show of power as yet another Aileron Royal died in just a second after the battle began, Prince Kirigan bellowed out as his body shone with a grand light, cutting through the skies as he made way directly towards Noah!
