Far from the Wandering Plains where a deadlock had occurred, deep in the heart of the Dark Continent.
In a glorious castle that was fit to win a competition for how menacing and majestic a castle could be, a shocking meeting was occurring in the Halls where only the King and his trusted aides could step into.
As we are in the Dark Continent, the Ruler was naturally the being that termed himself the Dark King, the expression of this being cloudy as he spoke while looking into a mirror that showed the scenes of the battle at the Wandering Plains!
"This deadlock might continue for a few days, but if we sacrifice more Blessed...we should be able to break through and take over the Cities that have GOLD Rifts within them."
RUMBLE!
Shocking words left the Dark King's mouth as beside him, a shining red Communication Medallion reverberated with a voice from thousands of miles away.
"You may be ok with sacrificing so many of your subjects...but not I!"
The voice was gruff and Wild, coming from the being that had risen in power until the Warlords of the Wild Continent came together under his banner- it was the Ruler of the Wild Continent.
"Then how should we proceed, Alexander?"
The Dark King's eyes had no emotions as he spoke, seeking a reply from his ally that waited an entire minute before his voice came out from the medallion.
"If the situation doesn't change in 3 days...I will send forth a DIAMOND Warlord to take control of the situation."
…!
A sharp light crossed the Dark King's eyes when he heard these words from the medallion, a devilish smile appearing on his face as his voice only came out blandly in a reply.
"We shall wait and see then!"
RUMBLE!
Two Rulers continued to gather information and watching how things were playing out in the Wandering Plains as in an entirely different spatial area, a being they had no knowledge about but would come in contact with soon enough- this being was going through the floors of the Tower of Champions with purpose!
WAA!
The DPS of the Gold Rank Conflagrant Pegasus was so dominating that the beasts they came across in the frozen landscapes of the past levels were decimated with ease.
As every Dimensional Beast had been at the Silver level on the past floors, they finished up to the 49th with ease as they were currently staring down at the boss they had to defeat on the 50th floor!
Similar to the 25th, this floor seemed to be a major jump in power and significance as their enemy was a single Rift Boss- but one that was in the GOLD Rank.
It was the first GOLD creature Noah came across in the Tower, this creature being a genuine Ice Drake!
ROAAAR!
It released a wondrous bellow of power as it clashed with the Conflagrant Pegasus in a show of power.
Noah was standing on top of the shoulders of the Flesh Giant, his hands drawn on the Silver Light Bow where he shot out arrows towards the eyes of the Ice Drake.
The major combatant was the Conflagrant Pegasus, gorgeous Scorching Light Rays raining down and slowly piercing the thick skin of the Ice Drake as a Rift Boss of lower Element could not so easily defeat one of a higher element…
This also reinforced in Noah's mind the need to continue the Shattered Light Plane Dimensional Rifts as soon as he finished the 50th floor of the Tower and obtained the rewards he wanted.
This was because only a day remained for the Light Plane Dimensional Rifts before they were changed into another element!
ROAAR!
The roars of the Ice Drake in front of him gradually got weaker as it was facing a much higher tier Beast than it while being grouped on by multiple Silver Rift Bosses.
In no time... its enormous body slammed onto the frozen ice caps as the bodies of Noah and his Units appeared in the Waiting Room, Noah's eyes glimmering brightly as he saw the rewards listed in front of him.
[Rewards for clearing the 50th Floor] :: [+10,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+1000 Random Bronze Equipment], [+100,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+1000 SILVER Rank Cores], [+100 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+50,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+100 Health Potions], [+100 Mana Potions], [+100 Defense Potions], [+100 Attack Potions], [+1 INHERENT Skill Book], [+1 Random GOLD Equipment], [+5 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards]
"..."
It was the glorious display of loot only meant for the greatest Champions!
There were truly too many things to go through, where Noah isolated the most important things to be the SILVER Upgrade Crystals that contributed to him obtaining another GOLD Blessed soon, the +25 GOLD Unit Shards that he needed another 75 of for another Gold Unit, the INHERENT Skill Book...and the GOLD Cores.
From these, he entered his Inventory as he took out the Gold Cores!
Ever since he had dominated the minds of the 2 GOLD Blessed, his mind felt a constant pressure as he wasn't able to add any more Subjugated Blessed to his ranks.
He needed to personally upgrade his own strength to solve this, so he sat down and began absorbing the GOLD Cores as the first thing!
The Cores looked like luminous gold crystals whose light sank into his palm until they turned dim, Noah going through 3 of them before his body began to tremble with power.
BZZZT!
Golden sparks began to erupt on his body as his figure shockingly floated and sank back into the ground!
When he absorbed the 4th core, a glimmer of wondrous gold light swam around his body as he fully lifted off the ground, his hand already grasping onto the 5th core as with it, he felt like he broke heavy shackles that bound him and flew to the skies!
WAA!
A wondrous golden aura raged around his body like a storm, his blue eyes opening as his dark hair whipped around gloriously.
GOLD was achieved!
