Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Noah's large body was rumbling with power as he moved even faster. The skill [Resplendent Speed] showed off its amazing power as his large body moved like a streak of light.

He had torn apart the body of the Seductress Sitri and gained two skill books in his Sea Pearl, as well as cores and an item. These were the loot from a single PHANTASMAL ranked being.

OONG!

Baal's transformation continued to release wrathful power as his form expanded and changed into that of a fearsome wicked demon. On the left side of his chest, a hole still lay where his heart should be. Noah knew that the Ruler's origin was injured and that the power that he was exhibiting now could not be kept up for too long. All he had to do was continue to drain the fuel from this enemy until he ran dry.

The successful sneak attack from Barbatos would ensure the death of this first ranked Ruler today. But before that occurred, Baal would still erupt with power in his most powerful state.

As his power continued to rise even higher than it was just a few seconds ago, the Kraken that was pushed off shone with a dark light as it's many arms and tentacles tried to penetrate through the blinding red light released from Baal once again.

But this would not be successful as this space around this demon emperor began to crack. The terrifying skill, [Space Destruction], was actively being used by the Demon Emperor.

Bloody gashes began to form on the tentacles of the Kraken as they passed through the area where the space was shattered, causing significant injuries on it.

ROAR!

As the Kraken tried to break through the transforming Baal's defenses, Noah was moving once again as he switched his target to yet another Phantasmal ranked Ruler of the Demon World.

The next planned target after the Seductress was the voluptuous Paimon.

She was fighting with another Calamity of the Sea as a wrathful expression was on her face when she looked at the site of the transformed Baal.

"Barbatos!"

She screamed with extreme anger as she tried to break through the attacks of the Calamity and join the besieged Baal as the destructive suns from a betrayer continued to form and explode.

The undead that were within the ranks of the Demon Legions had retreated at one point, going back into the sea as Barbatos could only bring herself to attack the one person that had a leash on her freedom.

The one person she could never run away from. She did not senselessly send a command for her undead to attack the other demons. This was one thing she would do out of misplaced kindness in her own heart. She knew that she could not go back after this, that she couldn't change her position.

From now on, either they would succeed, or she would become a traitor of the Demon World that would be killed multiple times until a more stringent leash was placed on her.

Paimon was casting her Ultimate Skill as she looked at Baal's current state with a wrathful expression. More bones bloomed around her, forming into shapes of Dragons, Behemoths and other monstrous beasts as she focused on fending off the attacks of the calamity so she could reinforce Baal.

She would not succeed though, as yet another calamity was nearing her. This one had three gloriously shining heads as a rainbow-colored light coursed through his large body.

Paimon was more powerful than the 12th ranked Sitri that Noah was able to take down. His goal was to reap the life of another PHANTASMAL ranked being before carrying out a long battle against the much more powerful Baal. The skills and rewards gained from killing two Phantasmal ranked Rulers would grant him another boost of power and allow him to move even better.

Baal had currently completed his transformation as his wrathful gaze turned towards Barbatos.

"Do you know what you've done?!"

A voice was leaving his mouth, but he was already acting as he fended off the attacks of the Kraken with a wall of hellish flames, his thick arms thundering down towards Barbatos's position.

BOOM!

Like a hammer hitting a nail, Barbatos was knocked down as the strike from Baal caused the space around her to crack.

"Ugh!"

Skin and muscle split apart as the body of the Demon Empress was heavily injured. She had released almost all her energy to land the successful sneak attack that injured the origin of Baal and her defenses could not easily hold up.

Baal was relentless as he moved faster and faster towards Barbatos with his voice continuing to ring out.

"Do you know what you've done?!"

Space continued to break around him as even the Kraken could not get near, the first ranked ruler making use of the offensive [Space Destruction] as a defensive ability as well, holding off successfully against two PHANTASMAL beings.

BOOM!

His figure continued to rain down destructive attacks that broke the space around the body of Barbatos as his wrathful voice rang out.

Noah's mind was acting fast as he observed this in the corner of his eye, but he still rushed towards Paimon who was trying to fend off a Calamity. He knew what he had to do to finish this Phantasmal Ruler who held her own unique and Ultimate skills. He knew how to finish her off fast.

WAAAH!

A piercing cry that seemed to signify the arrival of something grand that shocked all the powerful beings in the battlefield rang out as something resplendent appeared in front of the Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra.

At this moment though, it was only a streak of light as the feature [Heart Piercer] from the Trident of the Sea was activated. This was an ability of a supreme treasure that required an immense amount of mana to activate, and Noah cast it without a second thought as he observed the destructive attacks of Baal towards the Kraken and Barbatos.

Instantaneous!

Less than a second!

BOOM!

The powerful and destructive Trident of the Sea appeared out of nowhere in front of Noah as it sped down and struck into the body of Paimon in the blink of an eye.

"Urgh!"

A shocked scream came out of the Ruler's mouth as she felt her origin heavily injured and her life force rapidly disappearing. This was just one of the skills of the Trident of the Sea, the Supreme Treasure that allowed for one to bring down the true death of any beings.

Paimon desperately looked at the life force leaving her body as Noah did something crazy yet again. The Trident's ability, [Heart Piercer], required a tremendous amount of energy to power up. But for Noah, this was simplicity.

[Heart Piercer] was used yet again as an insane amount of energy was placed into the trident and it moved at a speed barely visible to many of the beings on the battlefield as it struck onto the crumbling body of Paimon for the second time.

BOOM!

The explosion resounded out as the body of Paimon ruptured into a mass of flesh and gore. A blinding red light exploded out as yet another Phantasmal ranked Ruler of the Demon World had fallen in a brief period of time.

Noah reached his goal as he neared the mass of flesh and took in multiple phantasmal ranked skills and cores in his Sea Pearl. The trident he had used to kill this Ruler so quickly was now floating in front of him with a gorgeous golden glow.

It was a grandiose picture as both sides that were fighting looked in shock at the treasure everyone else was searching for. They looked at the treasure that had appeared in front of the menacing Three-headed Hydra that had just killed two Phantasmal ranked beings.
