Chapter 145 - Journeying to the Depths II
The Spiritual Land was looking more and more different as Noah spent more time using the unique skill, {Spiritual Land Management}, to plant and design even more things.
On the side of designing, when he checked the panel of the unique skill under the feature of [Architecture] he was surprised to find that the advanced futuristic designs he saw in the City of Liquinia were now added amongst the things he could choose.
Now he had designs that were common in three worlds he could play around with. He felt like he went back in time when he was playing computer games that allowed you to build cities and kingdoms, the one good thing was that he didn’t have to wait long periods of time for the buildings in the Spiritual Land to finish.
On the snowy location outside where he built the advanced modern house with luxury amenities, he began building new things around it. Taverns and inns commonly seen in the Beast World had popped up, their designs instantly showing the large contrast against the modern house in the center.
When the large buildings he saw in the City of Liquinia also appeared, the mismatch became even greater as a complex air began to emanate from the very different architecture. He was just having fun with the things he could do, so he continued to play around with it.
On the other side was the planting of fantastical things that would go towards boosting the strength of the beasts born in the Spiritual Land and bring about a possibility for the next upgrade of this Unique Treasure of the Beast World.
Ice-Fire Persimmon :: A treasure that rarely grows and ripens, needing a specialized environment and care. A perfect fusion of two elements is contained within, allowing for the beings that consume them an easy path of breakthrough to the next rank. Effects severy reduced for beings not born in the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land. Time until maturity: 1 year.
Pigmy Melon :: Good for the body and soul. Heals injuries and reduces stress. Even the best healing potions lose when it comes to their effectiveness. Time until maturity: 2 months
The additions of new things to plant was a welcome one, as it provided new avenues for increasing the strength of the beasts in the Spiritual Land even more. The beasts were still consuming large amounts of the fruits from the [Snow Vines] and the [Sacred Rye], which had been causing an explosion of advancements as more ran S became EPIC, and a new LEGENDARY beast could appear any day now. The main factor in all of this is if they had the talent for it.
After spamming [Budding Farmer] on the newly planted acres, there was a change to the maturation of the new plants similar to the old ones.
[Ice-Fire Persimmon] :: Time until maturity- 3 weeks
[Pigmy Melons] :: Time until maturity- 4 days
The skill continued to be one of the biggest rule breakers so far, continuing the trend of reducing more than a year that was required for magical fruits to grow and ripen to just under 3 weeks.
Noah’s finished designing the new buildings and planting the many empty plots of land in the Frozen Plateau, heavily changing how the Spiritual Land looked from before. As time passed, the change would become more and more prominent, and he didn’t even know how it would look a few weeks from now.
One this was finished, his journey to the City of Atlantis could begin.
After receiving the Champion’s Trident, he had effectively received a key, and didn’t have to remain in the City of Liquinia. The key acted as a GPS, pointing him towards the direction to the grand city below. Many Atlanteans or Merfolk with the title of Champion ventured out to the dark waters when they were ready.
Some would fall to the unexpectedly powerful creatures they come across, others would be lucky and powerful enough to get past the deep and reach the magical city at the bottom.
Even though Atlantis laid at the deepest parts of the sea, their expansive strength and technology allowed them to move around unhindered even after they came out of the area where the Sea’s Blessing was applied.
Noah reappeared in the cave where he massacred a squadron of demons. He knew that nobody would be alerted anytime soon about their deaths. The burnt and destroyed bodies lying around didn’t make him flinch as he moved out. He had obtained even more memories, and the hideout of multiple Demon Squadrons, as well as the location of the Demon Lord moving around in the nearby waters.
A ruler of the 29th rank, Demon Lord Astaroth.
This was was particularly powerful, even stronger than Asmodeus who was leading the charge against the Beast World. He had strength nearing the peak of MYTHICAL rank, and his power was terrible to think about.
Noah wouldn’t be going near him or other Rulers anytime soon though. The reason was that the moment they clashed, it would either be their deaths or his. If True Deaths began to occur once again this early, the demons would group up and go in hiding, becoming even harder to kill.
A vicious smile was on Noah’s face as a plan to corner and kill Demon Kings and Demon Lords en masse had already formed. He had many memories that allowed him to know the identity and locations of many LEGENDARY ranked Demon Kings he could ambush and kill. But he didn’t just want a small piece of a pie, he wanted the whole damn cake.
If he acted with the power he had now, he might be able to kill one or two more rulers before they become completely spooked and swarmed together in the Demon World. If he waited and acted later when his power was much higher, he could move even faster and take down even more.
But, there was nothing stopping him from taking down their minions that did not have the same ability to resurrect like them. They would face disruptions and be left to grind their teeth in anger searching for the identity of the one moving against them and taking down their forces, but they would find no respite or answers.
As things stood now, his power didn’t even reach someone of the 29th rank who stood powerfully in the MYTHICAL rank.
Now, the way to increase his own power rapidly? This was one of the goals for coming to the Lost World of Atlantis. Besides possibly getting his hands on the Supreme Treasure of this world, which required him to be much more powerful than he was now to even contend for it, the other main goal was the many deep-sea creatures roaming the seas.
Orias’s exploration memories of the Lost World showed her dying multiple times to MYTHICAL ranked creatures when she went too deep into the sea. She would come back as good as new in a few months to continue her exploration and be met with even more different levels of creatures.
The plan was to go slowly and catch multiple LEGENDARY creatures on the way to Atlantis, before possibly matching against a MYTHICAL ranked one with the help of all of his forces.
This was another boost the Spiritual Land provided, and he couldn’t wait to use the beasts in it to gang up on something of the next.
His body physiology soon became that of the golden-haired Atlantean as the journey to the depth of the sea began.
