In the Waves that followed, the Gold Rift Bosses he faced were of course ramped up in large numbers, where by the 45th Wave, Noah was facing 40 Gold Rift Bosses that swarmed towards him in a terrifying manner with hundreds of normal Gold Rank Dimensional Beasts!
OOOOOH!
But with the presence of 4 Champions of Aether, genuine Dragons that were at the DIAMOND Rank who were paired up with a majestic Paladin of Light...the battles were shockingly dominated by Noah's strength.
The terrifying DIAMOND Units released their milky white luster of their Rank, managing to withstand multiple Gold Rift Bosses to themselves as after the release of a few skills, a few Bosses would begin to fall as the pressure on them would reduce even more!
[Hammer of Glory].
RUMBLE!
A hammer that released a shocking light would be cast as it thundered down and wiped out a large region of Beasts!
[Dragon's Breath].
WAAA!
Filled with the pulsing power of Aether, vast stretches of land were affected by the high temperature Breath that decimated anything they came across.
Like this, even the 45th Wave with 40 Gold Rift Bosses were cleared after half an hour!
Noah continued to slowly and carefully make his way forward, the waves continuing to come up until the 49th Wave, the Gold Rift Bosses he faced became 45.
This didn't bode well for the last coming Wave where if Noah was following the pattern of previous Waves, there would be a creature a Rank higher after he faced such a large number of Rift Bosses in the previous waves!
[Wave 50 Commencing.]
THRUM!
The waves of the Infinite Crucible were emotionless as they continued to come, the many red portals spread out across the octagonal Crucible vibrating as they began to release a horrendous amount of Beasts.
The Dimensional Beasts this time were extremely unique, Noah seeing all of their bodies dancing with flames as it looked like the Beasts of the 50th Wave were naturally given the Flamebourne Curse!
The auras of 50 Gold Rank Rift Bosses could be seen in a shocking fashion as to top off all this...Noah could sense the aura of a single creature that released a much more dreadful feeling than all of them.
ROAAAR!
In one direction, Noah's eyes squinted to find an enormous 30 meter tall beast stepping out of a huge portal!
3 heads, a body clad in writhing flames, and eyes releasing terrifying beams of light as a milky white aura surrounded it.
It was a creature at the DIAMOND Rank!
The name of [Hellfire Cerberus] appeared above it as Noah felt his heart beat faster when looking at this scene, his mind moving rapidly as he gave multiple commands to his Units.
A terrifying battle was ahead of them!
THRUM!
The body of the Paladin of Light glimmered as before the battle even began, it's hands came to its chest as if it was praying, the skill [Summoning Holy Totem] being cast as a brilliant Light Totem releasing powerful boosts and Heals manifested in the skies, washing over Noah and his Units as the Champions of Aether flew put towards their enemies with fervor!
[Storm of Decimation].
[Storm of Decimation].
Terrifying destructive Aether began to form and rain down all around them, Koddrys and the other Dragons fully displaying their shocking might as they went to om to release storms of Aether onto their enemies.
ROAAR!
The Hellfire Cerberus bellowed out while releasing waves of flames, but the elements of Aether and Light could not be brought to a stop!
Against 5 DIAMOND Rank Rift Bosses, the singular powerful Cerberus was torn down as the other Flamebourne Dimensional Beasts faced the same fate.
It was the fate that would befall any enemies that would meet Noah's soon to be completed team!
BOOM!
After an hour had passed, the enormous body of the Hellfire Cerberus slumped to the ground as Noah breathed hard, his Units looking at everything with shocking majesty as a few injuries were present on their bodies and healing rapidly from the Holy Totem floating above them.
The offensive strength of the Champions of Aether overflowed as they were followed up by the great utility of the Paladin of Light that provided healing and powerful attacking strength as well!
But with it, the 50th Wave was cleared as Noah chose to give up from continuing right after! He did not yet want to face the eventual Waves that were filled with 5 Diamond Rift Bosses and then 10 Diamond monstrosities, liking his little life too much and not wanting to lose the privileges of the Idle System when he had to set off to face the experts of the Continent soon.
[50 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 5 DIAMOND Rank Treasure Trove.]
…!
A DIAMOND Ranked Treasure Trove had appeared!
Granted, it seemed to be the lowest Tier 5 of the wondrous Treasure Troves, but it was DIAMOND nonetheless!
[Tier 5 DIAMOND Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+10 Diamond Cores], [+10,000 Diamond Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+10 Random Diamond Rank Unit Shards], [+1 Random Diamond Equipment], [+20,000 Gold Cores] [+300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+300 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+80 Random Gold Equipment], [+200,000 Silver Cores], [+1,000,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+2000 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]...
A beautiful display of words were displayed in front of him as he and his units were teleported out of the Infinite Crucible!
It was loot of great significance in many ways, as most importantly was the finding of DIAMOND Cores for the first time in Noah's life, A DIAMOND Equipment, and enough Gold Upgrade Crystals in a single Crucible run to call forth another Diamond Unit!
It took him around 6 hours to fully clear up to the 50th Wave at this time due to the increased Gold Rift Bosses in Waves 41 through 50, but him repeatedly farming all 50 Waves would be much more beneficial even if takes the longer period of time as the loot one could obtain from them...was simply too high tier.
His eyes swirled with intense light as he waved his hands to bring out the DIAMOND Cores from his Inventory, watching the crystalline white Cores glisten brightly and illuminate his face! This was his key to stepping into the next rank that very few beings achieved in the Ethereal Realm, a rank that any who did achieve it were stuck on for all their lives!
Yet Noah was about to reach it in just days, his speed being something that would cause the natives of the Ethereal Realm to die of envy if ever they knew.
WAA!
A glorious shine emanated out as he began to absorb the Cores pulsing with energy, his eyes going towards the two Conflagrant Pegasi as he gave the command to utilize the 300,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals on them as the bases for the next fusion of a Diamond Unit!
For the next few seconds, a light show pulsed out of the region Noah and his units were at as a powerful bellow came out soon after, the two Conflagrant Pegasi disappearing as a glorious 20 meter tall creature with a pristine white horn appeared majestically before Noah's eyes.
[Luminous Unicorn] :: A rare creature of the Light Element that is known for its gentle yet terrifying nature. It's abilities include [Scorching Light Spear], [Elemental Reinforcement], [Rays of Burning Light], [Instant Acceleration], [Swords of Light], and [Photoportation]
"Ho?"
Noah's eyes perked up at the details of the new Unit as he stared at the gorgeously white furred Unicorn that held a piercing horn and expansive white wings. He looked at the details of the skills that pulled at his attention!
[Swords of Light] :: The call of a wrathful creature of light rains down scorching swords of light that cleanse all enemies.
[Photoportation] :: The Luminous Unicorn is capable of teleporting itself or others with the use of light photons.
…!
A brilliant new skill that caused Noah to veer over [Swords of Light] entirely, Noah giving a command to the Luminous Unicorn to cast Photoportation!
SHAA!
Like a literal flash of light, the Unicorn disappeared from the location it was at and appeared a few meters away, instantaneously!
Noah stared at this skill as he gave another command to cast the skill, this time on Koddrys.
SHAA!
The enormous Dragon became a glimmer of light as it was also instantaneously teleported meters away, the light in Noah's eyes shining ever brighter as he obtained a top tier skill with the advancement of the Luminous Unicorn!
"Good! Let's go back in…"
With such a creature coming into his party, he became all the more terrifying as thereafter, the dangerous trek towards the 50th Wave of the Infinite Crucible that he went on to repeat was as dangerous, where the lives of none of the Units ever became threatened!
After clearing up to the 50th Wave again and receiving another Tier 5 DIAMOND Treasure Trove, Noah's 7th DIAMOND Unit was another Luminous Unicorn after he found its damage output and unique Photoportstion ability to be just too useful.
He then spent a reduced amount of 4 hours as he moved with 7 DIAMOND Units to clear the 50 Waves again and obtain another 300,000 Gold Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals from the Tier 5 DIAMOND Treasure Trove, getting his hands on the last Upgrade Crystals he needed to obtain the last Diamond Unit!
He chose to go with the tank that could also dish out ridiculous damage and Heals, getting another Paladin of Light after he purchased its Unit Shards from the Dimensional Store.
THRUM!
After coming out of the Crucible for the last time since he came here in the past day, Noah stared breathlessly at the ridiculous sight of the achievements he had managed to obtain after just a few days.
It was the achievement of looking at 8 DIAMOND RIFT Bosses, putting him in the upper ranks of strength if not near the peak of the powerhouses dwelling in the Ethereal Realm!
Now...it was time for him to make a move!
