1968 Boons Amidst a Nightmare! l

WA! WA!

A fast-paced symphony was playing as Noah changed the pre-set movement of the Blitzkrieg, choosing the shape of a star that encompassed all the paths of the 3 Ultima Strata LEGENDs that had remained around him as the movement.

Under his barrage and these Dream LEGENDS fearing for their own lives with the Nightmare Sword Flames surging in the surroundings, they weren't able to avoid the triple chain of the DHARMIC coalesced path of the Blitzkrieg as the heavy essence of Gravitation dragged them into it and ground them down!

When Noah was about to complete the preset movement of a star, a set of Nightmare Sword Flames appeared before him.

Their power was threatening as they were numerous, but they collectively had approximately 1 Trillion Damage Values surging forward!

Yet...things had drastically changed between now and just a few microseconds ago as Noah didn't lose the valiant light in his eyes.

With the halfway completion of the Second Dimensional Layer, the Innate Dimensional Barrier had fantastically gone past 1 Trillion as it could approximately withstand more than 1.25 Trillion Damage Values.

His whole body was then surrounded by his Unparalleled Emperor's Blitzkrieg as the Damage Values of this ability had to also be accounted for.

Paired with this offset of 500 Billion due to his Blitzkrieg, the shocking Nightmare Sword Flames would not be able to pierce through his Innate Dimensional Barrier!

BOOM!

Absolute Dream Authority erupted as flames raged, but they bounced off a dazzling Dimensional Barrier as Noah completed a movement that outlined a star.

A Trillion in Damage Values.

He may have not been able to deal with something like this as of now, but he could definitely withstand it.

SHIING!

Lines of purple and gold shone radiantly before they erupted with a Gravitational force and exploded, reaping the lives of all remaining Ultima Strata existences that had come for Noah while he also survived the residual onslaught of a Dream Master!

But others...were not Noah.

His eyes captured the battle as the burnt ashes of a Royal Human Suzerain littered the void, this shocking action paving way for the remaining sea of black and gold Nightmares and Dreams to surge forward as the Nightwalker gazed at the 4 remaining Suzerains who had ashen expressions and injured bodies.

5 of them could not hold him, and now that he had reduced them to 4?

Suzerain Jiyeon communicated with the others as in the next moment, all four of the remaining Grotto Haven Primordials moved closer together at the front lines of the Primordial Legions- Suzerain Jiyeon being the one to lay down a despairing command.

"Retreat!"

...!

The higher levels of power one achieved, the more decisive they were. The more understanding they were of destiny!

The Primordial Suzerains could very well see this Dream Master was abnormal and they couldn't match him unless they received the aid of a particularly powerful Grotto Haven Primordial or the reinforcement of another 5 or more Suzerains.

So the choice was made quickly as after the shocking display of power that injured 4 Grotto Haven Masters and killed one, none of the Ultima Strata Commanders and those below them complained- beginning to undertake a strategic retreat as spatial domains and circles began to bloom in the surroundings while the massive War Vessels and Relics of Primordial Legions flew back- the Suzerains staying close together to hold the front line and save as many beings as possible!

It was a shocking result and defeat for the Primordials assigned to this region, Noah being grouped in this retreat as against the excited sea of black and gold that was coming towards him- he wanted to stay. But the malevolent eyes of the Dream Master in the distance wielding an Absolute Dimensional Relic that could eradicate his Clone kept him from going forward as even he...would have to 'pull' away from this battle and retreat in the face of an enemy he couldn't yet face.

SHAA!

His figure turned into a streak of light that returned towards the Legion Representative Aileron led, Noah taking on the same role as other Ultima Strata Primordial LEGENDs who were providing support from the ranged attacks of an opposing army that wasn't worried about defense right now. They were only buying time for the retreat just like the 4 Suzerains!

But...would this really be it? Would Noah really let such a chaotic battlefield full of loot be taken from him because of a retreat?

'Hmm...the first ones should be reaching soon?'

A devilish smile was hidden within Noah's eyes as he could feel his Reserves of the Essence of Reality still depleting.

It meant that a True Sanguine Clone of his was actively utilizing droves of Mana and the Essence of Reality- and it was not Alexander or any of the prominent Clones sent to specific Dimensions!

---

When Noah was relegating tasks to his Clones, he had initially given the Atlatl of Reality and Emperor's Ruined Blade of Oblivion to the Clone that went towards the Apollyon Dimension- even though these weapons were recalled onto Alexander and not even utilized in the Apollyon Dimension.

At that juncture, he had also designated a Clone with another weapon as his part to play had not come in yet.

This Clone was sent off with the HERESY Relic- <Silent Killer> that came in the form of a Bow- a Relic that was generated from the Quintessential Treasure Cache.

A bow that was similar to the Heartsplitter Bow he gave Natalya Rostova in some concepts...but much deadlier!

HERESY <Silent Killer>:: A powerful tool drenched in the Decretum of Apollyon since its birth. Holding the nearly perfect form of all Bows forged, Silent Killer has been perfected in the extreme of assassination as its features exist to allow its master to kill silently from up close or from a distance while remaining untraceable. This distance covers Realities and Dimensions- so long as the Master of the Silent Killer has seen a target they wish to be erased with their own eyes, the attacks and abilities of this Relic can reach them no matter how far the distance is. To accomplish what its name stands for, it has focused all of its capabilities onto two features- the single target ability <Infernal Hypersol's Kiss> that costs 5 Million Units of the Essence of Reality to cast, and the area of effect ability <Bombadier of Perdition> that costs 10 Million Units of the Essence of Reality to cast, and is limited to deal only 50% of the Maximum possible Damage Values due to its wide range of effect. The cost to cast these abilities is correlated with your level of power as it will fluctuate and rise depending on the maximum possible output of Damage Values you can achieve...

A wondrous HERESY tool for assassination that went along the same lines as Sever...but was more covert as Noah had not displayed it to others and could not have it linked to him.

And it was something Noah planned to put into play in conjunction with Sever for his enemies- or utilize it alone when he was hiddenly targeting those who considered themselves his allies!

All of it...was for the purpose of sniping.
