Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse c1-705

by Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Game

  These undead were different from the ones Noah summoned, their exterior being dreary as a fiendish black aura covered their grey skeletons, green flames burning in the sockets of the most powerful undead.

  WAA!

  Barbatos released a cute battle cry as she descended into the blazing earth of the First Hell riding on one of her giant Skeleton Knights, the rest of the Harbingers following the lead as they quickly joined the fray of this stupendous land filled with opportunity.

  If one was looking from a distance, they would be able to notice an apocalyptic scene of thousands of undead released like a tide from a floating landmass, with large beings accompanying them as they began to rain down destruction towards any nearby Infernals!

  Chapter 295 - Farming Skill Points

  Noah observed the pace of the battle first as he was finally content at being able to release the thousands of Beasts in the Spiritual Land that had just been training and having their strength upgraded through the Medicinal Herbs and unique environment that pervaded through the Spiritual Land.

  The Beasts followed closely with the forces of the Undead Legion as they received help and protection when required, the Lich working overtime to conduct all the Undead forces' movements and raining down destruction on the surrounding Infernals.

  Noah observed the unfolding battle as he affirmed it's ongoing smoothness, and began floating from the Spiritual Land as he wanted to let loose and fight properly himself without any worry about super powerful beings watching him.

  "I'll be right back!"

  He said this to the relaxing Adelaide and her Shadow Guard, Night, who were enjoying some of the resplendent fruits that could be seen all over the Spiritual Land as he shot into the skies.

  He went past the figures of the terrifying Undead Legion that was continuing to advance forward and raze down the rushing forces of maddened Infernals, already seeing multiple huge groups of Infernals led by those in the Saint Rank forming.

  He moved past this scene as he went deeper into the First Realm of Hell, towards its center most position where the temperature palpitated and became even more scathing, the region where an abundant amount of Void Rank Infernals resided!

  OOONG!

  Mana moved through his body as he took the form of the [Lesser Cthulhu] once again and became a purple streak that tore through the fiery skies, his body appearing and disappearing every now and then as he smoothly traversed through with the boost from [Child of Space] and naturally powerful body of the form he took.

  WAAA!

  He came to a stop after a few minutes, his body materializing as he glanced down. The area around him had become a mountainous range where flames sputtered in and out, Infernals filling every inch of it as deep within each mountain, he could sense the power of a Void Rank Infernal.

  His gaze met the upturned eyes of multiple roaming Saint Rank Infernals that looked up towards him and screeched, wings erupting from their backs as they flew towards him at breakneck speed!

  A wide smile appeared over Noah's terrifying tentacle filled face as he cracked his fists, thoroughly about to enjoy this upcoming thrashing while getting used to the tremendous power of this [Lesser Cthulhu].

  THUNK! THUNK!

  His thick arms caught two of the flying Saint Rank Infernals as he grasped their tough bodies in his enclosed palms, the bodies struggling as dense hellish flames erupted from them and went on to cover his hands. The other Infernals in the skies also let off hellish flames of abhorring temperature as they created hell storms of rapidly rotating flames that went on to cover the entirety of his more than 20 meters large humanoid body!

  Noah's smile only got brighter as within these burning flames that would have turned any normal Void Rank being into cinders, he didn't even feel a thing!

  "Haha!"

  A wild laugh released from him as the energies of his body trembled, the wild Aether he couldnt control around his body dancing as it went on to cover the two Saint Rank Infernals he was holding in his hands, sending their inner essence into chaos as the hands holding onto them closed down!

  SPLUCH!

  Blood and gore erupted from the terrible hands of the Lesser Cthulu as Noah got the show under way, starting off by using a skill he was very curious about the extent of damage that it could cause, the [Portals of Terror]!

  Mana coursed through his body swiftly as the skill was activated, his thoughts sending a command a single ovular portal appeared amidst the masses of Infernals that had begun swarming towards him in the distance.

  The summoned portal held a purple hue as it trembled, seemingly not being able to contain what was on the other side as Noah observed stupendously powerful destructive energies begin to leave this portal in a circular fashion.

  RUMBLE!

  It felt like the blazing earth had quaked when the summoned portal released its first blast of destructive energies that were a mix of purple and blue, their power so destructive that any Infernal that was near this single portal found their bodies exploding as if they were overblown balloons!

  "Fuuck."

  Noah watched on in shock as this single portal released continuous destructive energies more than 30 meters around it as the entire landscape was changed, one hellish mountain being completely wiped off as a heavily injured Void Rank Infernal limped out from the bottom of this mountain, but its protective essence couldn't keep up as the destructive energies that still left the Portal of Terror grinded down its defenses until it exploded into a puddle of nothingness.

  "..."

  An eerie silence pervaded the normally maddened Infernals as they observed thousands of their kind wiped off in a few seconds, especially a powerful Infernal at the Void Rank that could not even last a few seconds under the unstable energies released from the newly appearing portal.

  "Crazy!"

  Even Noah was blown away by the overpowering and completely overwhelming power released from this one portal, which had effectively created a dead zone that no being could pass as long as he left it active.

  It was extremely overpowered, but this was what he liked!

  His thirst for more Skill Points increased as he watched the numbers rapidly fill up in his stat panel from the deaths of so many high ranked Infernals, his mind turning cold as he cast [Portals of Terror] multiple times, numerous different colored portals appearing all around this innermost region of the First Realm of Hell!

  One portal was bloody red in color and released what looked to be energy of the fire element, but it was so completely unstable that it burnt to ashes all it touched!

  Another portal was blue in color, releasing waves of energy that froze and shattered everything they touched in less than a second. Another was completely black, releasing an overwhelmingly powerful blast that pulled any beings it touched back towards the portal before they were ground to gory meat and bones!

  A variety of portals continued to appear across the fiery regions of the First Realm of Hell, and this continued until their number reached 18.

  Because of their extreme destructive energies, tens of thousands of nearby Infernals were wiped out in a blink of an eye, the remaining Infernals watching and the training Void Rank Infernals coming out from deep beneath the fiery earth feeling a sense of unknown fear as a hellish torment began for the beings in the First Realm of hell!

  Chapter 296 - Havoc

  Tides of change could be felt by the destructive beings in the First Hell of the Infernal Realms as in its outer fringes, a Legion of Undead accompanied by powerful Harbingers of Sin were sweeping across the droves of Infernals while in the innermost location, a dreadfully enthusiastic [Lesser Cthulhu] was testing out the wide range of abilities available to him on the maddened droves of even more powerful Infernals.

  The [Abhorred Lich Emperor] was situated above a grandly floating Bone Dragon as the golden flames in its eye sockets danced, feeling its power growing ever stronger as its master returned more and more Skill Points into its Skill Tree.

  D
eathly forces of powerful undead continued to rush forward and clash with the Infernal, the moment a single undead died, another one taking its place. The Lich Emperor continued to wave its Skull Staff as more and more Undead continued to be summoned!

  The eerie Specters, Bone Dragons, Blue Phoenixes and other powerful high level undead were accompanying the Harbingers of Sin whose majority were still at the Transcendent Realm, their power being able to match the lowest level Infernals of which there were thousands of.

  Soon after the battle began though, their skills became more dreadful as they began using the Skill Points they gained from defeating the Infernals, many of them wonderfully tweaking and choosing which of their skills to enhance as they exploded in strength!

  Yet, not a single one of them could even compare to the rate at which one particular being gathered Skill Points.

  The more that the forces of the Abhorred Lich Emperor struck down the rushing Infernals, its master would gain the Skill Points as they steadily rose with the constant movement of forces. But if there was a graph that showed the increase of Skill Points, they would at this moment show a constantly increasing parabolic line that continued to shoot up rapidly when Noah himself began casting the tremendously monstrous abilities of the Lesser Cthulhu!

  RUMBLE!

  Moving scenes and going to the innermost location of the First Realm of Hell, a Lesser Cthulhu was wreaking havoc as the stupendously large body moved like a streak of light, appearing in one location that held huge cl.u.s.ters of Infernals and leaving a deadly Portal of Terror there, before he flashed away to another location and cast yet another Portal of Terror that went on to decimate any Infernals standing or floating nearby!

  The number of points under the [Infernal Skill Points] were rapidly changing as small decimal increments continued to come in rapidly, this indiscriminate hunt for the Infernals taking on the form of something never done before as they died at such fast rates, that even the Infernal Hunts that many worlds participated in could not compare.

  As long as Noah continued to rampantly run around like this for just another few hours, the number of Infernals that he alone would kill would be higher than the number of all the Infernals killed in the recent Infernal Hunt!

  This tremendous feeling of strength that one could get drunk on continued to permeate through Noah as unconsciously, the unstable Aether that was distinctly covering his body seemed to slowly increase and acc.u.mulate the more he killed the Infernals.

  The destructive Aether energies unknowingly contuinued to coalesce around his large body, their unusual power palpitating as Noah continued to use brute force and the [Portals of Terror] to wreck havoc on any nearby Infernals. He moved around numerous regions as he only left behind unrecognizable landscapes and blood and gore behind him.

  After a few hours, many of the powerful Infernals across the wide inner regions of the First Hell realised this immense commotion and the killing of their brethren as multiple Void Rank Infernals grouped up and went towards Noah's position!

  He was casting yet another portal of terror when he felt the bubbling power of four Void Rank Infernals rush towards him from all sides. His battle intent surged at this sight, as these maddened beings would only serve to provide him more skill points, a howl leaving his mouth as the tentacles and feelers covering the lower half of his face trembled with baleful Aether.

  OOOH!

  After killing so many Infernals, the Aether around Noah's large body had built up to such an extent as it seemed even more unstable, his roar of power acting like an unknown switch as the destabilized Aether element all over his body erupted outwards with him at the center!

  BOOM!

  The four rushing Void Rank Infernals were stopped in their tracks as this circular blast of Aether filled with destructive energies ripped through their bodies, their powerful defenses torn apart as heavy injuries were instantly inflicted upon their bodies.

  Noah observed this powerful blast of energy that released from him in surprise as he was too engrossed in enjoying the immense power of the [Lesser Cthulhu] form that he was not paying attention to the constant build up of Aether which had just erupted from him at this moment in time. This came as a surprise as this wasn't an ability listed among the skills of this terribly powerful form, but this made Noah all the more curious to find out all he could about this [Lesser Cthulhu]!

  He looked at the heavily injured Void Rank Infernals that had been trying to get near him, their advance stopped short by this unexpected blast as he honed in on each of their locations and cast a skill that was even more destructive than the [Portals of Terror].

  The skill [Sever] was activated, as in the direction his hand was pointing, the chest of one of the Void Rank Infernals was pierced through instantaneously, with the Infernal only feeling the pain a millisecond after!

  It was only then that the remaining Infernals noticed this destructive ray of Aether coming from Noah's hand, but at this point, Noah spun around in a circular motion as this deadly ray of Aether covered the entire 360 degrees around him.

  SHAA!

  Space trembled as a distinct thin line of severed space began to heal and close back up, everything that was around Noah experiencing a terrible nightmare as the bodies of the remaining Void Rank Infernals surrounding him were shredded into two clean pieces, any nearby Infernals experiencing the same fate!

  THRUM!

  Noah took in this amazing feeling of strength as he saw the red streaks of light that represented the unquantified form of the Skill Points releasing from the powerful bodies of the Infernals and enter his own, watching the jump of 4 points all at once as he took down many powerful high ranking Infernals in this one attack.

  He marveled at this sight as he was about to continue this ecstatic battle, when he found himself rooted to the fiery skies he was floating on.

  "Hmm?!"

  Surprise left his terrifying mouth as he felt something unknown lock onto him and completely stop his movements. Below him from the blazing earth, and above him from the fiery skies of the First Realm of Hell, a domineering red light ascended from below and descended from above to lock onto his figure, freezing his figure and actually stopping all movements from him!

  …!

  Chapter 297 - A Qualification!

  Noah used his observation skill as he found out that he couldn't even move his eyes, the skill showing him the area around him as this mystical red light that erupted from the blazing earth of the First Hell and descended from the skies held tight to his body, the Infernals around him cowering at the appearance of this light.

  He could not figure out what was happening when yet another change occurred, this time with him actually beginning to feel something he had not felt in quite a while- pain!

  "Ugh!"

  [...Analyzing…]

  Indescribable pain erupted from his body as he could distinctly feel the voice of the Planetary System of his homeworld, this pain seemingly coming from deep within his body as the red light that held him in place flooded into his body ceaselessly.

  It was centered around his wide chest as the more that the red light flooded into him, etchings began to appear on his chest as they began forming peculiar runic lines.

  "AARGH!"

  This process continued until Noah forcefully let out a guttural howl, feeling the pain slowly receding as the dense amount of light rushing into him had etched out a particular shape clearly on his chest. The whole process wasn't done, as on top of this mystical shape, the remainder of the red energy shot towards his head as a momentary sharp pain could be felt, this time only lasting for a millisecond as pieces of information began to enter Noah's head.

  [Analyzing…]

  The Planetary System of his homeworld was still trying to use its authority to see what exactly had occurred just now, this situation being similar to when Noah first came in contact with the energies that Infernals released after they were destroyed, but on a much grander scale!

  Yet, at t
his moment in time, Noah did not need the System to tell him exactly what was going on, as the remainder of the red light that had shot into his head actually contained an abundant amount of information.

  As for this information? He was left in awe the moment he began organizing everything and looked down towards his chest, his movements coming back to him fully as the red light completely receded, the cowering Infernals still looking from a distance as they were unsure what had just occurred.

  On his chest, a glistening runic star that shone with a shimmering red light was clearly etched out, his mind remembering the pain as he realized this brand was not just etched onto his body, but onto his very origin! This was the reason he felt such a tremendous feeling of pain as the process occurred.

  [You have gained a...qualification?]

  Both Noah and the Planetary Systems were trying to piece together the foreign information coming from this new source of energy, but Noah did not need to wait for the Systems to analyze and quantify this information as it was being fed to him as clear as day from the remainder of the energy that rushed to his head.

  The first piece of information that he received was a memory about the Infernal Realms of Hell.

  In this Novus Galaxy, all across the regions of the Light Expanse, Dark Expanse, and Letalis Expanse- there were a total of five gateways that led to different realms of hell. These realms ranged from the First Realm of Hell where many of the Infernals had their beginnings, all the way to the Fifth Realm of Hell where the most powerful Infernal Lords resided!

  The first piece of information that Noah received was an overview of these realms and where each of their gates were located. The second piece of information pertained to the Infernal Lords themselves, and the empty seat that had been left dusting away for hundreds of years as these Infernal Lords awaited for something exactly like what occurred to Noah to happen.

  In this Novus Galaxy, there were exactly 8 Infernal Lords currently moving around, with the information making it clear that there were only 9 possible Infernal Lord that could take that title at any point in time, with there being an empty seat these past hundreds of years after the downfall of a particular Infernal Lord sometime in the past.
