Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse c1-705

by Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Game

  They were here as saviors, beings that actually came to liberate those in the Dark Expanse and show them a better way of living, a way through order and balance that would allow them to prosper and leave behind their savage ways!

  But to do this, they had to first battle them and tear through their defenses before they could achieve their goals. So as they headed towards the forces of the Dark Expanse, they only felt a righteous light and reasoning as they prepared to clash.

  WAA!

  The Prime Warsh.i.p.s began slowing down as the scene in front of them changed from the void of space, twinkling lights coming in front of them as the three stars that made up Witches Layer shone brightly in the starry space.

  All around the 3 planets, numerous dots of light that counted up to hundreds of thousands of beings floating in the void of space could be seen, with billions more dwelling within the planets themselves.

  Strong expressions could be seen on the beings defending their homes as they looked forward, numerous spells already cast on their side as tens of thousands of Elementals floated fiercely in the void of space. Elementals of all elements and sizes permeated throughout as they released a strong aura, Noah looking across the beings in front of the stars as his gaze remained cold.

  He only found them to be Mages and Wizards, the reinforcements of Vampyres having not arrived at this location as they judged the significant collection of Mages and Wizards on this Witches Layer would be enough to withstand against a Celestial Legion.

  In front of Noah's eyes, he counted three World Rank Experts among the forces defending Witches Layer, this location not being as important as the Verittas Fortress where 7 World Rank beings from the Celestials had attacked and it had the defenses of an Infernal Lord and 3 other World Rank Experts.

  This was also the reason why Noah's Celestial Legion was sent here, it was because this was meant to be his first battle as Commander Crixus where he would be faced with three beings at the World Rank as the opposing leaders, those at the top wanting to see exactly how genius his talent was!

  OOOH!

  His cold eyes glanced at the opposing forces of Dark Expanse as roars began to ring out from his Legion, the Celestials having bright faces as they looked towards the beings defending The Witches Layer like a pack of wolves.

  Chapter 523 - I am here to save you

  "For order!"

  "For Balance!"

  OOOOM!

  Waves of golden essence erupted out as the forces came to a stand still, those in the legion of Commander Crixus simply waiting for his command in order for them to start the battle.

  RUMBLE!

  The vibrant yells of the Celestials only made the defenses of the defender of the Witches Layer tighter, the Mages using rune magic to put up huge reinforced barriers as the Witches summoned more Elementals and powered their wands ready to go with powerful spells!

  Noah had an apathetic gaze as he glanced at this, his figure waving his hands as the Prime Warship he was on opened up and he floated out into the void of space.

  This movement caught the attention of the three World Rank Commanders protecting the Witches Layer as two men and a single robed woman stepped out to the forefront, assessing the Celestial Legion in front of them as they breathed easier.

  They had spread out their aura multiple times, confirming that even though this entire Celestial Legion contained many beings at the Soul and Domain Expansion Realms that would make the battle tough, they only had a single World Rank Commander!

  This was good news for them as even with the title of a Commander, they believed themselves to be capable of withstanding the attacks of a single being on the same realm as them. This was even better since the Commanders recognized the Celestial in front of them as the genius the intelligence reports had shown, the one called Crixus the Destroyer who had just stepped into the World Rank. To them, someone like this was only starting on this realm, and could be considered a baby!

  Alas, this would have only been true if it was against anyone that wasn't Noah.

  His apathetic figure that radiated coldness that seemed to say he cared for absolutely nothing in the wide worlds glanced at the hundreds of thousands of beings cl.u.s.tered around the three stars as he spoke words that caused the minds of many to shake.

  "I am here to save you."

  RUMBLE!

  His words reached the minds of those floating in the void of space and even the billions dwelling within the three stars of the Witches Layer. They caused anger to erupt out in the hearts of those that heard it as they contained not an ounce of emotions and said contradictory things for the tyrants attacking their homes!

  The coldness also made the hearts of many shake as they glanced towards the singular figure that had left one of the Celestial Vessels, seeing a golden glow begin to wrap around this being as his whole figure became inflamed.

  Noah released no commands to the Celestial Legion as it remained still, lifting his hand up as he moved the over 3 million fate lines in his body to pull out the essence of fate. This golden essence wrapped around his hand as it crackled beautifully, showing golden arcs of light coursing through his hand as they quickly went on to wrap around his entire body.

  When one reached the point of having more than 100,000 Fate Lines, they gained more control over the law of fate as they could begin outwardly using Fate Essence, and those more proficient could ingrain varying qualities to the Fate Essence that they used.

  The most straightforward effect of this essence was to attack the enemy and cause them physical and soul damage, but Noah was ingraining a different quality in the fate essence he was displaying out as his figure became grandly colored gold!

  OOOOH!

  The Celestials within his legion looked forth in splendor as they cheered for the power of their Commander, their bodies palpating with power as they waited to jump into battle themselves.

  Arcs of gold light rolled through Noah's body as he repeated himself once more while his figure began to float towards the defender of the three shimmering stars, their forces roaring out as they prepared for contact.

  "I am here to save you."

  RUMBLE!

  His movement towards them acted as the match that lit up the fire, waves of beings from the Prime Warsh.i.p.s rolling out as the forces defending the Witches Layer lit up with colorful and destructive attacks, elemental energies of numerous laws shooting towards Noah and the being rushing behind him as another battle began in the Dark Expanse.

  Noah's words really were true, where among the many beings behind him that wanted to reap the lives of the Mages and Wizards, his purpose of being here in this battle was to actually save them.

  He could only do this in a way that would make many beings look at him like a bloodthirsty Commander, but he would achieve his goal of saving as many as he could in the battles he fought while still putting up a show for the Celestials that were undoubtedly watching!

  Seeing the array of colorful spells obscuring the entirety of his vision, his body that was clad in crackling golden fate essence became tout as his cold eyes flew towards the forces of the Witches Layer even faster.

  BOOM!

  His body pierced through the layer of spells as the rest of them rushed behind him towards his Legion, his hand forming a fist as his eyes honed in on one of the Commanders of the Witches Layer at the very center that prepared to clash with him, numerous Mages and Wizards casting spells behind him as his fist clad in a golden aura blazed towards them!

  OOOOH!

  The Commander at the forefront waved his hand as a fiery red and blue phoenix came to life and rushed towards Noah, numerous other spells from the beings behind him shooting out as a blinding impact took place.

  BOOM!

  Many of those watching the first clash of this battle around the Witches Layer or those watching it as video feeds from vast distances were startled at the result, a shiver running down the spines of others as the result of this clash was shocking!

&nbs
p; The golden aura covering the body of the one legion the Celestial Legion, the one known as Commander Crixus- this golden aura went on to explode on impact with the spells of the Mages as it permeated out like a raging flame, the fate essence wrapping around the bodies of all those nearby as unholy screams erupted out.

  Commander Crixus himself was completely fine, the arcs of golden light coursing through his body as his apathetic eyes seemingly watched the scene in front of him where the golden light he released wrapped around the bodies of the beings in front of him, acting like the most horrendous tongues of flames as they fiercely burned the bodies of all they attached to, people watching in horror as those weaker began to see their bodies rapidly disappearing into ashes before they became completely extinguished!

  Extinguished!

  Gone!

  Erased entirely!

  Anyone that the golden flaming essence wrapped around screamed out as they felt a burning sensation that affected their very cores, those at the Void Rank turning to ash the fastest as the nearby beings at the Soul and Domain Realm took longer, but anyone affected by the golden flames released from the apathetic Celestial in front of them was soon turned to ash.

  The Commander of the Witches Layer that was currently matching Noah had the same fate essence affecting him, his body feeling piercing pain as his vibrant and powerful essence 'protected' him, his eyes shaking as he saw the essence he could not stop latch onto his people as they were all burnt to a crisp, not even a corpse remaining behind!

  "You fiend!!!"

  He was one of the few remaining in the surrounding area that had not been extinguished by the attack, his face shaking as he tried to douse the golden fate essence still trying to break through his defenses while matching the being in front of him that had now raised his hand high, snapping his finger as one could see the materialization of an enormous golden blade of light, the same terrifying golden essence wrapping around this Blade of Liberation that was more than 25 meters large.

  His eyes were apathetic as they repeated the same thing he had said two times previously, more than a thousand being already seemingly 'turned to ashes' by his single attack as he continued.

  "I...am here to save you."

  …!!!

  BOOM!

  Chapter 524 - This is an Ally?!

  In a command center of a Mage's Tower, Edrusim was in an enormous control room that displayed numerous scenes of all the events occurring across many of the defensive positions of the Dark Expanse.

  Many Mages were moving beside him as they monitored other screens, but the eyes of Edrusim were glued to a particular one that already had a battle beginning, and it was the Celestial Legion that had just clashed with the forces of the three stars of the Witches Layer.

  This Celestial Legion had someone that should have been considered their ally, a spy that they had placed in the ranks of Celestials.

  Yet this being that had now taken the role of a Commander that was leading his own Celestial Legion was actually moving first to attack in the most destructive and cruel of ways, not caring about the commander he was fighting against or the beings around him as he unleashed an attack that wiped any and everything away!

  Edrusim's face was called as he pulled out a medallion and coldly spoke into it.

  "Vladivostok, I thought we agreed Crixus was to act tough and stall, losing and winning some battles as he kept his identity as a Celestial for a while longer before we used him in a crucial battle. Yet why is he actively moving to kill at this moment?!"

  The Grand MAge screamed out as he had many things to pay attention to at this moment, not thinking the issue of an ally in the enemy camp would be taking up his time as he watched this Crixus begin to dominate the battlefield the moment he arrived.

  There was silence on the other end before a calm reply came from Vladivostok.

  "He is stalling in his own, and his words of him saving them are actually true, Edrusim."

  A reply that seemed disconnected from reality was all he received as Edrusim glanced to make sure they were both looking at the same scene.

  On the illusory screen, Crixus had raised his hand up as a single enormous golden blade of light appeared, beginning to rush down towards the lone Commander of the forces of the Witches Layer who had all the beings near him turned to ashes.

  This enourmous golden blade shone with a shocking light as it tore through the spells this Commander cast, going on to smash into his chest as an even larger amount of the golden essence wrapped around him, his body that was attached to the tip of the blade heavily injured as even this commander began to scream horridly, feeling his body burning as he as well...was soon turned into ash!

  "..."

  In just the first minute of the battle, the single Commander Crixus at the World Rank had already 'killed' an enemy commander of the same Realm, now only two remaining as they rushed towards him with unbelievable expressions, not understanding how their friend had not been able to last even a minute!

  Edrusim watched with a cold gaze as the golden blade that towered over 25 meters did not even wait or go for the other 2 Commanders that were now rushing towards the unprotected Crixus. The golden blade went further into the army of the Witches Layer, the beings at the Domain, Soul, and Void Rank that were dissipating like flies from the might of this blade, but they could not run fast enough as it barreled towards them and smashed, making all those it touched turn to ashes in a matter of seconds!

  "...you call this our ally? He is more actively killing our people than even the normal Celestial Commanders would!"

  Edrusim shouted into the communication medallion once more, his words actually being true! Other commanders would match themselves against enemy commanders, the loss and victory of the battle being decided when the powerful commanders of either side lost. Meanwhile, the lower ranked soldiers in both camps would carry their own battles as victory could also sometimes be decided this way if a larger amount of force in one camp remained.

  Yet this Crixus did not even seem to aiming for the commanders, apathetically saying he was there to save them while his first attack affected everyone in the surrounding, and his second attack killed a command while it ignored the other two, actively rushing towards the lower ranked beings as he destroyed them as well!

  This was an ally?!

  "Hold on, let me show you something."

  Edrusim's wrath was only met with a calm reply as some of the Vampyres inside the command room of this Mage's Tower that were receiving cold looks from the Mages came forward with a shining crystal.

  They fearlessly came towards the wrathful Star Forging Edrusim as the crystal in their hands floated forward, displaying another scene that caused the eyes of many to nearly pop out of their eye sockets.

  It displayed a red world filled with crystal stalagmites, but the scene displayed showed the constant teleportations of beings covered by a shining golden glow, their horrible screams of them feeling their bodies burn and turning to ash coming to a stop as the moment they were teleported in, the golden essence receded from their bodies as they looked around them in a confused manner!

  They had felt as if their very origins were burning a moment ago, and yet now they appeared in a completely different location as the burning sensation left, the battle they should have been at gone from their eyes as they appeared in an unknown world.

  Edrusim's eyes shone as he say the figure of the dead commander that had just taken an enormous sword to his chest and turned to ash in front of his eyes be safe and well, an injury still remaining on his chest as the impact of the sword was real, but he was alive and well!

  "This is…"

  The vast knowledge he had failed him at this moment as he thought back to the previous scene at the Witches Layer and what he was seeing now, his shocked thoughts hearing the voice of Vladivostok once more as the words made more sense this time around.

  "He really is there to save them all, or really as many as he can. That is why he is so aggressive.
"

  …!

  The surrounding Mages and Edrusim had shocked gazes as they saw this development, questioning their own eyesight that showed them being hit with terrible attacks as they turned to ash, and yet something these same beings were alive and well, teleported to some place they knew nothing about!

  Exactly what was going on?!

  Chapter 525 - The Destroyer I

  In the eyes of the beings protecting the three stars that made up the Witches Layer and those not in the central command room of the Mage's Tower that knew the truth, a scene of horror was imprinting itself into their minds as a being clad in the essence of fate brought down horrendous attacks without any reservations.

  With a wave of his hands, a shining sword of light that was immensely large materialized and swung down, vaporizing any beings it came across as this Celestial Commander seemed to purposefully be targeting all the forces in his immediate surroundings.

  Even his Legion that was rushing behind him like a fierce wave had only just brushed off the attacks thrown towards them by the forces of the Witches Layer, and they had not even come in contact with their enemies!

  "CRIXUS!"

  A loud bellow from one of the two remaining Commanders of the Witches Layer rang out across the battlefield as the identity of the Celestial Commander was widely spread out to any that had yet to know about him, many other knowledgeable individuals being reminded of the Celestial termed as the Destroyer, the one who had massacred the powerful beings of a particular Prime World and was one of the genius Celestials- Crixus!

  BOOM!

  The Commanding Mage of the Witches Layer arrived with a Chaos Elemental, a rare elemental that very few beings could summon that rained down hellishly dark flames towards Noah.

  The other Commander waved his hands forward as runic symbols erupted, bringing with them crystallized spears that reflected all light as they thundered down towards the one enemy that had already destroyed too much.
