Chapter 477: Dark Guider!
Another day passed in the outside world as Noah's Ancient Blood Clone was able to bring yet another skill tree to the next rank, this time being particularly exciting as yet another Guider Type job appeared in front of his eyes!
When the prerequisite sacrificial skills were given with the skill tree hitting maximum proficiency, the options of either [Chaos Guider] or [Chaos Relegator]. He naturally chose the one that had the name of Guider, seeing how the previous selection of [Unruly Guider] under the skill tree aligned with the Law of Fate granted him ridiculous abilities. He placed all the required skill points as he viewed the new additions at their peak.
DOMAIN [Agent of Chaos](60/60) :: The title of an Agent of anything is a rare one. This skill tree gives its user the ability to confidently call themselves an Agent of Chaos. Abilities include Essence Disruptor(5/5), Chaotic Mandate(5/5), Chaos Orbs(5/5), and Void of Impending Doom(5/5). >> [Chaos Guider] (75/75) :: A path of a being that revels in unpredictability and the comfort of chaos. Additional Abilities Include Dark Guider (5/5), Chaos Bearer (5/5), Aura of Chaos (5/5), Desecrate (5/5)
[Dark Guider] (5/5) :: All the beings that are following the rule of the Chaos Guider are blessed with his source of strength as a portion of the user's aura of chaos surrounds them. To those classified as Subordinates of the Chaos Guider: +120% Physical, Soul, and Elemental Damage, +120% Cast and Attack Speed, +120% All Element Resistance, +120% Defense.
[Chaos Bearer] (5/5) :: Any chaos that the Chaos Guider causes is amplified, granting them +50% increased comprehension in the Law of Chaos.
[Aura of Chaos] (5/5) :: The distinct aura of chaos wraps around the body of the Chaos Guider and allows for all cast abilities and skills to be layered with the chaos element. +100% Chaos Damage to all utilized abilities.
[Desecrate] (5/5) :: A wide area ability that creates a Desecrated Space where Chaos Elements are abundant as far as the eyes of the Chaos Guider can see. Within this Desecrated Space, the Fear, Slow Mana Regulation, Debilitated, and Blind debuff effects are applied to all enemies.
Abilities that satisfied his heart were shown in front of his eyes, once more granting him a wide array of extra abilities that he could utilize on the coming battlefield. His enemies were beings proficient in the law of fate this time around, and the opposing abilities of the law of chaos would be one of the best counters.
When he saw the [Aura of Chaos] and [Desecrate] abilities, a smile appeared on his lips as these abilities essentially allowed all of his attacks to be layered with the power of Chaos, as well as release a wide debuff domain that further lowered his enemy's defenses and even granted them horrible debilitating effects.
Then there was the [Chaos Bearer] ability that actually enhanced his rate of progression in the Law of Chaos! This was similar to the ability that the Hydromancer's Mantle provided, but cut by half. It was an unexpected surprise as the gathering of Chaos Particles always lagged behind the Fate Lines.
This was because he initially began with the law of fate, and he also had the [Fate Stealer] ability which allowed him to actually get 12% of the Fate Essence of the beings that he killed. In the upcoming battle, it was actually this single ability that excited him the most!
With the thousands of Celestials coming towards him, especially the big bosses like Grandmaster Onillus that had more than 3 million Fate Lines...he was actually going to increase his progression in the Law of Fate at a pace that would break any remaining common sense in the Novus Galaxy.
In his eyes, he foresaw himself easily passing the 1 million mark, and even going above it just with this single coming battle! That was how domineering this [Fate Stealer] ability was!
His progress in the Law of Chaos was bound to be left in the dust, but it would still increase even faster because of the newly gained [Chaos Bearer] ability.
The last ability that did not just give him joy, but granted even more happiness to his subordinates was the [Dark Guider] ability.
They were already boosted by the [Golden Guider] from the skill tree stemming from the Law of Fate, and now there was another Guider Type ability that essentially doubled the boosts they already had!
At the same time, they now had the auras of both Fate and Chaos coursing through their bodies. This was an aura of two Supreme Laws that were freely coursing through the bodies of billions of beings...at this point in time, even Noah himself would not fully know the effects of this until much later.
RUMBLE!
The instant the ability was activated, Noah felt the surging of Fate Lines and Chaos Particles once more as he greatly influenced billions of beings, some in more ways than he expected as huge changes occurred throughout the planets he was connected to once more!
In the quadrant of Light Expanse where numerous of the connected Worlds were hidden behind layers of a Veil, essence dispersed freely as the singular addition of another Guider Ability caused another Supreme Law to descend onto these worlds, their targets being the numerous inhabitants of these worlds that fell under the category of Noah's "Subordinates".
When the prior [Golden Guider] from the Law of Fate was activated, the multitude of beings had experienced a period of rapid advancement in their strength as with the backing of a Supreme Law, they were able to do things they never considered before. With the widespread project of creating dungeons not just in Noah's homeworld but in the many connected worlds, the phenomenon of beings diving in dungeons to enhance their strength only propagated further.
With the boost of [Golden Guider], those diving in dungeons saw firsthand how they could defeat monsters that were a rank above their own as they took advantage of the boon and became rapidly stronger. Yet at this moment, as if the first boon was not enough, [Dark Guider] arrived and brought with it another Supreme Law!
Dark auroras of pure chaos energy descended onto the numerous worlds and wrapped around their inhabitants, another point of widespread change occurring as it was not just the addition of another law to their bodies. It was the inclusion and utter synchronization of two opposing Supreme Laws in the bodies of billions of beings that could be considered relatively weak.
It was something that should have never have the chance of happening, but it did! And it brought with it too many changes and opportunities...
Noah was about to look into everything that was changing when he felt the presence of the Mages in the castle he was supposed to be in come closer, stopping his strengthening session as his body teleported away from the Spiritual World and into the room.
"Lord, our scouts have begun to see the Legions of the Celestials. Commanding Mage Turner has tasked us to ask to grace the other Commanders with your presence!"
The words of a strong mage rang in his ears as he waved his hands, the many fearsome and colorful skill effects of numerous elements that surrounded his body gradually fading and turning invisible as he opened the door and followed the inviting Mages.
He would let the worlds and beings he was connected to experience the changes as he enjoyed the boons from it himself as time passed, setting his gaze towards this coming battle for now.
His aura spread out from the location he was in as he sensed even more forces within the expansive Verittas Fortress, the auras of many new Vampyres from the Dark Expanse being apparent, as well as numerous more powerhouses he had yet to come across.
The unique attire of the Mages and Wizards along with the shimmering wands they carried beneath their robes gave Noah a mystical fantasy feel of this Dark Expanse, especially the wide and dark halls of the dreary castle he was walking in.
It reminded him of the imaginative stories he used to read in the past about the grand abodes of wizards with pointed hats that lived in the darkness of the world. The castles of these actual Mages and Wizards of the Dark Expanse had their own unique style, their halls lined up with small floating shining lights that added on to the air of magic and mystery.
There was a bustle of activities everywhere they went as Noah saw floating animals that he recalled to be Familiars of Wizards move along with them, his observation also seeing the unique way these beings used magic as he could see floating utensils cooking by themselves when he passed a dining hall, or things link ink brushes and pens moving on their own to write manuscripts in huge rooms where discussions were taking place. It truly was a place where the beings around it utilized magic fully in their daily lives, even to the smallest details!
Noah wanted to explore more of this culture and their techniques if the time came in the past, curious at the wand-shaped weapons that boosted the abilities they cast by a large degree as wondered of the wide array of techniques that the Wizards and Mages of the Dark Expanse used.
He already had so much on his plate in terms of skills and abilities that he felt the addition of even more was just him continuing to go overboard, where he might not even get a chance to utilize them all. But he would wait for the time to come when he could truly observe the culture and techniques of the beings within Dark Expanse, his figure currently going towards one of the command centers as it looked like the clash with the Celestials would soon begin, their Legion being close!
