Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

Noah's gaze looked with the monstrous Behemoth in front of him as he thought about this Celestial Beast's ludicrous level of power.

The overpowering essence it let out still confirmed with him that it was a beast half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm, but its power, even while putting its the crazy strength Behemoths usually showed, was still crazy!

The reason for this was because of this concept that the Draconic Fire Behemoth had mentioned...the concept called Authority!

Noah's heart trembled as he thought back to the frozen time that he never thought could possibly be broken. This went out of the bounds of his knowledge as he had cast the ability of the Dagger of Time and moved speedily, casting [Emperor of Greed] thereafter. But this was when the ridiculous power of this Draconic Behemoth put itself on display!

The Ancient Blood Clone in this frozen time was actually able to hear the calm release of three words that reverberated throughout the wide underground cavern.

[Flame Lord's Authority].

The words were calm and light, but the effect they caused was horrendous as they directly went on to shatter the essence that created stopped time, and it even went further to destabilize and cancel [Emperor of Greed] that was heading towards the Ancient Pedestal!

This was an entirely new concept to Noah, but he had just seen the type of strength that a truly high level being could portray, the strength that somehow allowed them to shatter formed skills and disrupt the casting of abilities.

After the monstrous Draconic Fire Behemoth uttered these three words, it stood in front of the treasure as its gaze locked onto him, its message being loud and clear- you will not be able to run.

The utterance of [Flame Lord's Authority] had spread out some kind of a blazing flame domain that caused huge damage for anyone in it, the clone being able to survive it fairly well because of the numerous compounded Enhanced Flame Element Resistance that came with the items of the Incandescent Flameborn Set.

Only his head that did not have a helmet was undergoing the process of burning and healing constantly until he took out the Glaive of Simmering Ember and reduced the damage caused even further, bringing him to this point in time where the brilliantly shining red eyes of the Draconic Fire Behemoth. A smile of immense arrogance seemed to spread on the lips of the fearsome beast as it spoke out again.

"I can see that you have not yet gained an Authority, so you being able to withstand mine is quite a feat."

The Behemoth glanced at Noah closely as it continued.

"Is it the items you are wearing? Or some innate ability? Hmm鈥�"

The Draconic Fire Behemoth did not seem to have an ounce of worry about Noah, continuing on nonchalantly as it wanted to sate its curiosity, and that was it.

"Well, no matter. For the crime of intruding into my layer, for the crime of setting your eyes on something that is not yours...how would you like to die, little worm?"

RUMBLE!

Strong words resounded throughout the underground Cavern as Noah felt the fantastical [Flame Lord's Authority] recede, the Draconic Fire Behemoth letting out words that already condemned him to death as the only option!

He sighed again as his heart shook with slight excitement, knowing he would have to go with the second plan where he would actually have to match this monstrous being, and actually come out on top.

As his armored body covered in the [Incandescent Flameborn Set] floated atop the boiling lava smoothly, his strong heart actually began feeling a sense of thrill as he stared at this enormous Celestial Beast!

It was a dangerous situation where nobody knew what the results would be, but Noah was actually finding himself getting strong feelings of excitement whenever he was in situations like these. It was something terrifying and out of his wildest dreams that someone like him could be standing face to face with a Celestial Beast, an Elite Behemoth half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm, and he could actually stand against it with some level of confidence.

This was the adventure he longed to have! This was the strength he wanted to achieve! To be able to look at something this powerful and still believe there was a way for him to trump over it!

A bright smile covered the devilishly handsome face of the Ancient Blood Clone as he replied to the fiery Behemoth while casting numerous skills.

"I will not be dying here today...little dragon."

His words held a tinge of excitement over this unavoidable battle as above the molten and simmering earth around him, the aura of death appeared in the skies, the figure of [Arch Lich Ra'Zan] beginning to shoot down towards the lava as its body shone, an enormous Bone Dragon appearing below it as it flapped its wings and allowed the powerful Lich to remain in the air.

In the Celestial Realm, flying was restricted until one broke through to the Domain Expansion Realm, but winged beings could still fly nonetheless!

[Arch Lich Ra'Zan] looked at the monstrous opponent its Master had as golden flames blazed from its sockets and the skull staff it held, the essence of death spreading out in the surroundings as huge runic circles appeared in the skies.

These runic circles signified the casting of [Abyssal Summoner], the ability that called forth enormous Abyssal Undead to fight for the Arch Lich.

This wasn't all though, as Noah uttered multiple skills without reservation while his gaze continued to lock with the Draconic Fire Behemoth.

[Empyrean Guards]. [Empyrean Armament]. [Blood World]. [Dawn of the Blood Lord]. [Ancient Blood Scion]. [Summon the Ancients]...[Lesser Cthulhu].

RUMBLE!

The atmosphere quaked as an enormous amount of mana was used wantonly, the numerous number of wide area buff, strengthening, and transformation abilities forming with a gorgeous array of colors in the expansive Cavern below a volcanic mountain in the Celestial Realm!

Yet at this moment in time, a single Dragon remained calm as its voice reverberated out.

"What did you just call me?"

The nonchalant tone of the large Draconic Fire Behemoth had changed as it ignored the fantastical essence and splendor of skills and transformations that Noah was undergoing as it asked a simple question.

Noah's resplendent but still transforming figure that still seemed smaller than the 70 meter Dragon held a devilish smile as he taunted out a reply the numerous skills he cast coming to life around him gloriously!

"A little dragon. You know, those small little lizards you can find scurrying in crevic-"

BOOOOOOOOM!!!

The very air itself shattered as a wrathful Dragon's Roar resounded, the start of a monstrous battle going underway!
