The Dark King had achieved a lot in his life.
Even after being cut off from the DIAMOND Rank Dimensional Rift by the Ethereal Emperor, he had still moved relentlessly as he gathered other Diamond Blessed that were not trusted by the Ethereal Emperor, eventually crowning himself a king of an entire Continent!
When his hidden forces within the Imperial Capital got wisps of the news that the Ethereal Emperor might be dead, he planned decisively for years until all these plans bore fruition in the past days, where he was currently moving with Legions being led by DIAMOND experts to reclaim the Rift whose access was stolen from them.
He imagined a glorious future where he waged war until the forces of the Light Continent fell, where he took down Protector after Protector until the Crown Prince trying to take his father's place was groveling beneath his feet soon enough!
He would then pierce through the terrifying mobs of the Diamond Rank Dimensional Rift as he looked for the rare drop that would allow him to break through to the PLATINUM Rank...and he would then begin to explore the grander worlds and Realms in the starry space as his life would then achieve its glorious purpose!
Yet…
Yet…!
Why the fuck was a being commanding four DIAMOND Rift Bosses appeared at this time?!
The Dark King's face was ashen as Alexander looked forward with a blank expression.
As for the 13 other DIAMOND Experts beside them...their hearts trembled as mana surged around their bodies protectively!
At the scene of four identical purple Dragons, their shock gradually turned to stupor, and stupor gradually became horror!
If it was one Diamond Rift Boss, they would be able to handle it and move on with their conquest.
Even that one would have taken over an hour and exhausted all of their power, but three more had appeared right after as they circled all around them to make sure they couldn't even run!
"This might have been inconsequential to you at the time, but did you think anything of the command you gave to send your first wave of forces to occupy regions like Academy City?"
THRUM
The voice of the being looking at them with eyes releasing tendrils of light reverberated out, the bodies of all the experts continuing to brim with power as they were ready to move at any time, their eyes locked onto the aura of the four terrifying Dragons around them.
"Your goal is the Diamond Rift in the heart of the Imperial Capital and becoming the Rulers of the Ethereal Realm, yes? Why attack peripheral regions? Why send airships to attack regions that barely have Silver Rank Rifts? Why not just go to your target and defeat your enemies while claiming your ticket into the Rift everyone is fighting for?"
WAA!
"What did the poor people of these small regions have to do with the enemies you all have in the Imperial Capital? Why did they have to be massacred?"
Noah said these words as he looked down to the Legions that consisted of millions of humans below them, those on the Gold and Silver Rank who could visibly see them high up in the skies only looking at them in shock!
He saw the innumerable number of airships floating in the skies that carried even more Blessed and materials as his eyes returned to the 15 experts before him for an answer.
Neither of them replied as they still locked eyes threateningly with the Dragons around them, Noah's body beginning to slowly erupt with more power as it was then that the Dark King raised his face and spoke!
"We were only following the code of War! For the number of forces we had to move, we needed many resources if a prolonged war broke out! You cannot just go directly to the heart of the enemy territory when you haven't weakened their influence or their source of resources...we could not just go to the Imperial Capital!"
RUMBLE!
The Dark King's expression was grim as he spoke, trying to think of many ways to avoid what seemed like an inevitable confrontation the more this being in front of him spoke!
It seemed as if he was an inhabitant of the lowly Academy City, yet it didn't make sense for his forces to have bullied him as his Rank was too high for that…
BZZZT
His reply seemed to have not been favored as the tendrils released from the being atop the purple dragon increased, his dominating voice ringing out.
"You cannot go directly to your enemies? What do you think I'm doing?"
…!
"You…!"
Silence descended in the skies as the Diamond Experts looked at the Rift Bosses around them as their form of an answer!
He came directly to them because he had the power to! Because he believed he could stand against them without losing his life!
This was an uncertainty for them, and it was why they never went into the Imperial Capital to attack the Diamond Protectors within right away.
They were fearful of the result, more so because their enemies had access to the Diamond Rift and could enter it whenever they wished to improve their strength.
The being standing atop the purple Dragon...reminded them that the reason they involved the forces of entire Continents and caused blood to spill...was due to their own weakness!
RUMBLE
The blood of the two Rulers of the Dark and Wild Continent bubbled at this slap in the face, gazing towards Noah with eyes blazing sharply as they saw this being merely nod at them.
"Good. At least you know now."
THUMP
It felt like time was in slow motion in the next few seconds as the being waved his hands again.
Mana trembled out as above them, a gloriously white-gold Luminous Unicorn made its appearance, its white wings eclipsing all of their figures as it looked below them coldly!
THUMP!
Many of the Diamond Rank Blessed could now feel the beat of their hearts at the ridiculous scene as with a wave of another hand, a similar looking Unicorn appeared below them as well.
A second later, two enormous moving sets of Living Armors that contained wondrous white light appeared further behind the circling Dragons as their auras were not the least bit weaker than any of the other Rift Bosses here!
"...!"
8 Rift Bosses!
The equivalent of beings who could stand them when we apply the rule of 10 Blessed per Rift Boss of the same rank meant 80 Diamond Blessed were required to stand against these terrifying Bosses.
And this wasn't even putting into account the fact that they were High Tier Element Beasts!
THUMP!
The Experts from the two Continents could feel their heartbeats clearly as their bodies trembled while looking at the forces around them. Atop the? Champion of Aether, Koddrys, Noah gazed towards them as he spoke coldly.
"In the next hour, it is going to be the choice of death or submission."
RUMBLE!
"Choose wisely."
BOOOOM!
The bodies of the Diamond Rank Experts exploded with power the moment these words ended as they felt immense killing intent from them, their hearts set to fight for their lives as the skies changed color.
Yet before any of them could cast any powerful skills, an immense force seemingly erupted at the center of their forces, this terrifying force uncontrollably flinging the bodies of the 15 Diamond Experts in different directions as they were all sent towards the direction where terrifying Rift Bosses awaited!
This was the work of the Telekinetic Emperor who utilized [Field Master] and caused a force of repulsion to push the experts away from each other and into the jaws of terrifying Beasts!
…!
Horror was on the face of the Diamond Warlord from the Wild Continent who found himself heading towards the Dragon that had Noah's figure on top of it, his milky white aura erupting out in full as he shook the force wrapping around him while preparing to pull back.
Yet Noah only looked at this being coldly as he waved his two fingers forward, his entire mental energies focusing on this being as he released an Attraction Field that pulled the Warlord towards him at high speeds!
[Dragon's Breath].
WAA!
The jaws of Koddrys opened at this instant as this Diamond expert flew like a missile directly into a scorching breath of Aether and death!
BOOOM!
…!
Terror spread out into the hearts of all those watching as it seemed they had been sidetracked by the 8 Rift Bosses that they didn't look at the being that had summoned them too closely.
It seemed this being...had terrifying power no less than the Rift Bosses he summoned!
"Impossible!"
The Dark King's face was unwilling at having met such an unstoppable force right when his goals were near, his body erupting out with darkness as the sunny sky gradually turned dark.
With a face twisted with reluctance and unwillingness, the Dark King called out.
[Descent of the Dark Emperor].
RUMBLE!
The skills of Diamond experts capable of affecting large regions of space began to be cast, the Ruler of the Dark Continent taking the spotlight with his wondrous abilities of the Dark Element as clouds of darkness roiled down and threatened to surround everyone!
At this scene, Noah's eyes only shone as he gave commands to his Units.
The commands were followed with the entire sky that was darkening...to be lit up brighter than ever before as terrifying skills were cast!
[Storm of Decimation].
[Storm of Decimation].
[Swords of Light]...[Swords of Light]!
RUUUMBLE!
It was a wondrous scene that the Legions consisting of millions of beings below would not be able to forget, something that would be etched into their memories!
The scene of enormous glimmering Swords made of golden light piercing through the clouds of darkness, the scene of dense purple tendrils of Aether shattering all obstacles in the skies as they went on to decimate their targets!
It was the scene of the stupendous skills of Rift Bosses being cast at once as it made it seem like the sky had been torn apart!
