Chapter 214 - Training
In the Time Space of the Spiritual Land, Noah was actively moving as days quickly passed in the area he was in while only a few hours passed in the outside world.
The rapid combination of many skills was occurring as he continuously spammed and raised their proficiencies before combining. Other beings also joined him in the wide area as they trained skills of their own.
In another section of the wide Time Space, Noah had installed a relaxation zone which consisted of fragrant steaming hot springs that a few beings were currently using. Not too far from the hot spring was a gigantic version of a spinning grill that held a crackling flame around it, continuing to cook more portions of the many sea beasts that Noah had collected over his time in the Lost World.
In the hot springs, Barbatos's voluptuous figure was dipped in halfway as a particularly arrogant Emperor Penguin was behind her using its flippers to give a shoulder massage.
Its arrogant face showed unwillingness and shame as it turned to look at Noah and the other beasts training in the distance. It was the most powerful beast in the Spiritual Land, holding unlimited potential to advance! Yet it was currently being forced by this crazy woman to attend to her like a servant, giving massages or bringing food at the snap of her fingers.
It didn't want to do it because its pride as the most powerful beast in the Spiritual Land prevented it, but it could not take it anymore. It would do it. It was going to complain to the Spiritual Land Master!
Near where Noah was training were two figures of young women. One of the Frozen Queen that was using her relaxation time from her busy schedule, with the other being the Shadow Guard, Night.
Queen Adelaide was sitting down holding a tray of refreshments and fresh white towels as she looked in Noah's direction with a smiling expression barely breaking through her icy exterior. Night was standing up with her piercing gaze looking in a certain direction where a demoness was relaxing in steaming waters.
Not too far from where the arrogant Emperor Penguin and Barbatos were, there lay a field of gorgeously shining trees that were dangling completely ripe [Ice Phoenix Fruits] and [Spirit of the Arctic] that Noah had planted in the Spiritual Land some time ago.
He had specifically planted them in the Time Space so they could mature even faster, using the boundless mana to continue to keep the [Time Dilation] active in the space. Even with this cheating format, their time for ripening was around the same as the previously unlocked tier of plants, being just slightly shorter.
But this still meant that the newest tier of Plants in the Spiritual Land had already matured and bore the fruits that were extremely conducive to the rise of strength of the beasts born in it.
Aside from the [Winged Spider] that was hanging from one of the large trees picking and eating [Ice Phoenix Fruits] with a content expression, a miniaturized Calamity of the Sea, the [Goldfish], was also floating nearby and opening its wide mouth to eat the resplendent fruits whole.
The fruits shown they were most effective for the beasts born in the Spiritual Land, but they still collected a tremendous amount of essence in them and were exceptional to enjoy for anyone.
The process of breaking through from the Mythical to Phantasmal rank was even longer for the beasts this time around though, as they had been eating and absorbing the energies of the [Ice Phoenix Fruits] and [Spirit of the Arctic] this past day, and they were still consolidating and increasing their power at the Mythical rank. Noah expected the Emperor Penguin to be the first to breakthrough as usual, and he wasn't worried if it would take a few days or even a week.
There were miniaturized forms of the other Calamities of the Sea furiously going head to head as they fought against one another to increase their strength in another portion of the large Time Space. After residing in Noah's homeworld and being considered as one of its inhabitants, they were able to access the system that quantified their strength as well as their skills with the permission from the will of the world.
The demons were experiencing a similar situation after the establishment of the connection, with the top echelons observing the use of Power Jewels closely to corrupt their skills and make them even more powerful.
There were any different ways to upgrade their strength, and everyone was continuing to work hard, not wanting to be left behind.
Kazuhiko and Steel Mikhail had obtained their own unique and ultimate skills from the Rulers they had taken down, boosting their power by a large amount as they spent more time diving in the dungeons that were newly created throughout the three worlds.
The remaining three Mythical Beasts of the Beast World were also actively moving in a similar direction, with the addition of their research into creating skills through mana manipulation on top of dungeon diving.
There was a tremendous amount of essence that could be used by the worlds, and creating dungeons that were filled with constantly replenishing origins of Legendary and Mythical beasts was not too hard. Noah was especially helpful with this through the use of his summoning abilities.
Putting his abundant mana to full use, he cast [Summon Titans of the Abyss], {Primal Conjurer}, and {Witch Slaves} to provide the origins of powerful beasts that could be used as the base for the dungeons.
[Summon Titans of the Abyss] brought in two PHANTASMAL ranked BOSS monsters that were placed as the masters in the newly created dungeon in Noah's homeworld, [Titan's Abode].
{Priman Conjurer} was a unique skill that could only summon and keep active two creatures at the same rank as the user, and was used just like [Summon Titans of the Abyss] to make two BOSS monsters for a dungeon in the Beast World called [Scalding Sand Dunes].
{Witch Slaves} was yet another unique skill, and this one held even more uses.
{Witch Slaves} :: Spawns powerful undead witches that are proficient in Blood Magic to do your bidding. Their strength can be adjusted up to the rank of the user. A maximum of three Witch Slaves of the same rank can be summoned, with the number tripled for every rank lower.
Three Witch Slaves of the PHANTASMAL rank could be summoned, or nine at the MYTHICAL rank, or 27 at the LEGENDARY rank, and so on. It required an exorbitant amount of mana to keep active, but it was nothing with the reserves of essence for even a single world.
Many origins of BOSS monsters to use in dungeons were obtained from this skill as ingenious ways to strengthen the forces of the three worlds continued to be created. The only negative thing was that the origins of these beasts were being used and constantly replenished anytime they were defeated in the dungeon space, Noah couldn't use them for his own purposes. It wasn't too big of an issue as he wasn't too active in using the summons in battles with his skills being so overpowering that the battle was finished even before anyone else could join.
This also wasn't to mention a side project that Barbatos was working on to fill a dungeon with her undead and an abundant amount of traps as she had the goal of creating the hardest possible dungeon.
Scenes like this constantly played out across the three worlds as their inhabitants worked to unceasingly improve themselves.
