Chapter 72: Stack the GOLD Rift Bosses! I
WAA!
From the skies above mountainous plains, the cry of a Conflagrant Pegasus could be heard as it descended to the ground.
The mountain it descended on was filled with verdant greenery, the light of dawn making them shine brightly as Noah looked at this beautiful scene before he turned towards the 6 Gold Blessed he had brought with him.
"Wait within this mountain until I return, we'll resume the mission at night."
His command rang out as the powerful experts nodded reverentially, not even being able to disobey a command from their Master!
Noah had them wait here and not return to their cities as there was still a Gold Blessed in each City overseeing things, with the focus of the forces of the three continents being on the Wandering Plains. Until this battle ended, Noah knew there would be no surprises when it came to the subjugated cities.
As for even the possibility of being able to bring other beings aside from himself and the Units he obtained from the System into structures like the Tower of Champions? It was null as always, the description staying true that it was only for the Master of the Idle Gaming System.
THRUM!
Waves of spatial energy rang out as after having given the command, Noah's body disappeared along with the enormous Conflagrant Pegasus, the two of them appearing within the Waiting Room where the brilliantly shining Tower of Champions as the Shattered Planes Dimensional Rifts lay waiting!
Noah's eyes instantly turned towards the Shattered Planes Dimensional Rifts as he wanted to see which High Tier Unit was available now, seeing the clear and purple name reading AETHER at the front of the Shattered Planes Rift at this moment.
The structure had lost the brilliant gold color that represented the light element, pulsing a wondrous purple at this moment as Noah nodded his head towards it with shining eyes.
The plan for today was to descend onto the newly available high tier element rift only after he had ascended the floors of the Tower of Champions. He was much further ahead in here as this was also the location that gave him the most Upgrade Crystals, and after the 50th floor, it would begin to give him Gold Cores!
If he obtained a large number of such Cores, the ridiculous reality of him producing multiple Gold Blessed could be realized.
In the coming days, if he pumped the Silver Blessed he had subjugated to the peak of Silver rank and then had multiple Gold Cores in hand, what prevented him from raising tens of Blessed that others still considered rare experts at this moment? Depending on how far he climbed the Tower and its rewards...he wouldn't be surprised if he could elevate the ranks of tens of Silver Blessed to make a terrifying army of Gold minions!
With such thoughts in his mind, he dove towards the 51st floor of the Tower of Champions!
The environment had finally changed from the frozen plains and ice caps, this time finding himself standing in a barren plain that looked like a road. As for where this road led? It was towards a huge fortress that Noah could see a shining white name above it.
[Elven Fortress] :: Clear all the creatures within the Elven Fortress to pass through the 51st floor.
On the 51st floor, he shockingly had to fight beings he had not even heard about- Elves!
His powerful eyes could see that on the Fortress Walls, figures of multiple Silver Blessed walked around protectively, and he could sense the aura of a Gold Blessed at the center of this fortress as well.
If he could sense the aura of a being in the same realm as him…
RUMBLE!
An alarm seemingly rang from the Elven Fortress as the Silver Elves stationed on the walls became ready for battle while staring out towards the barren plains Noah was in. The Gold Elf at the center of the Elven Fortress had sensed his appearance as it seemed the enemies he would face after the 50th floor were not just powerful creatures, but ones with high intellect!
His eyes shone as he recalled what he knew about elves from the fantasy stories of his old world. The image of beautiful beings with bows and arrows was wiped away as he saw mana pulsing brightly on the walls, the ferocious face of murderous Elves that had pointed ears and looked exactly the same as humans being seen as they released powerful long range elemental attacks.
"Well alright then!"
RUMBLE!
Noah smiled brightly as the rest of his Units were called forth, 5 more units aside from the Conflagrant Pegasus making their appearance. The Equipment Guardian was the only other GOLD Unit as the rest were in silver, but this would change soon enough as Noah climbed the tower and waited for the rewards of the Idle Gaming System in a day.
CAA!
The Pegasus voiced out powerfully as it took to the skies with Noah on top of it, the Equipment Guardian pulsing with light as it looked like a formidable paladin protecting the Silver Units as it went head on towards the huge steel doors of the Elven Fortress!
BOOM!
From the skies, scorching rays of light began to thunder down as Noah appeared directly above the center of the Fortress to engage the Gold Elf Rift Boss right away. A brilliant luster of gold shined out as a reply, a figure flying to the skies while shrieking towards them, enormous balls of fire that causes searing waves to travel in the air forming around the creature before they rushed towards them.
WAA!
Noah's eyes flashed as they released blue tendrils of light, the energy of the Telekinetic Emperor erupting out as the directory of the horribly scorching fire balls was changed away from them, a glorious battle erupting in the skies as below, the Equipment Guardian had cast [Light of Dawn] as a wondrous golden light erupted from it, this light increasing the power all of Noah's units could release while healing them from any injuries they received!
Facing the Silver Elves on the Fortress Walls...the Guardian moved unhindered as the main entrance was broken through and a massacre began.
With the Conflagrant Pegasus and Noah above while the Equipment Guardian led the other Units below, the Rift took Noah just half an hour to clear out after the terrifying GOLD Rift Boss fell from a protracted battle.
Unlike the Blessed he faced outside, genuine Rift Bosses were much harder to kill as Noah moved carefully against them! But the floor was cleared in half an hour as Noah and his forces were teleported out, the rewards of the floor displayed in front of him!
[Rewards for clearing the 51st Floor] :: [+5,000 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+500 Random Bronze Equipment], [+50,000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+250 Random BRONZE Rank Unit Shards], [+500 SILVER Rank Cores], [+25 SILVER Rank Equipment], [+20,000 SILVER Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+100 Random SILVER Rank Unit Shards], [+50 Health Potions], [+50 Mana Potions], [+50 Defense Potions], [+50 Attack Potions], [+5 SILVER Rank Skill Books], [+1 Random GOLD Equipment], [+5 GOLD Rank Cores], [+25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards].
The words were in a box that shone with gold light, his blue eyes reading over them thoroughly as he saw the most important details.
The biggest was of course the 25 Random GOLD Rank Unit Shards that made him now have 50 from the original 25 he obtained on the 50th floor, meaning if he cleared the 52nd and 53rd floor...another GOLD Rank Rift Boss would fall under his lap!
There were also the 5 Gold Rank Cores that meant the birth of another Gold Expert, his first priority being to strengthen Annalise and Rose as he saw how powerful these girls could be with the Inherent Skills they had along with him feeding them a bunch of Skill books.
The potions were welcomed as always, especially the Mana Potions that he chugged nearly in every battle until the taste could be recalled by his taste buds the moment he pulled one out! The Attack and Defense potions were ones he utilized to boost his strength even more when he faced the powerful Rift Bosses like the one he just faced.
After analyzing all the rewards of the floor and seeing what was waiting for him, he returned into the tower once more as he went into the 52nd floor!
[2 Elven Fortresses] :: Clear all the creatures within the two Fortresses to pass through the 52nd floor.
The difficulty rapidly ramped up as Noah was teleported to an area that held 2 Elven Fortress, the battles bound to be more hectic as his units vibrated with power while they went forward relentlessly!
In his hands, he was already chugging potions to be in his strongest form, his figure looking extremely valiantly as he sat on top of the Pegasus that tore through the skies towards a fortress filled with murderous Elves!
