Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

SHIING!

Noah's swords that were dense with the essence of Death and Aether flashed dangerously towards the neck of this wondrous Sage in front of him as he wanted to test out exactly what this stage entailed!

BZZZT

Yet as his swords neared the body of the Sage, his eyes opened wide as he saw the expression of the Sword Emperor clearly. The eyes were like a vast body of water as they were filled with utter calm.

He did not lift up the sword in his right hand to block, but merely raised his left hand!

A simple palm reflected on Noah's eyes, but this palm seemed to have covered his entire eyesight as the trajectory of the two swords of Death and Aether were pulled towards it, both of them striking against this palm as a sound akin to two metals hitting resounded.

CLAAANG!

…!

"You do not yet understand the meaning of the word Sage."

THRUM!

The voice of the Sword Emperor rang out clearly as Noah saw the palm that was seamlessly and without worry holding his two swords...pinch down.

SNAP!

The universal essence that made up the two swords shattered!

"Let me show you."

The voice of the sword emperor rang out again as Noah's body, even with all the boots of speed, seemed to be extremely slow in the face of the palm that shattered his two swords, his eyes only registering this same palm coming towards his body as before he could even have the thought of evading it, it smashed into him!

...BOOOOOOOM!

A simple palm without an ounce of energy.

A simple palm that was more powerful than any attack Noah had taken.

SHAA!

His figure tore through the skies of the mystical verdant Realm as he smashed into the wings of the ten headed Tiamat, the monstrous Animus letting out a painful sound as Noah's figure tore through her sturdy wings while his figure continued to fly out from the impact!

…!

WAA!

The figures of the Golden Crow and the Obsidian Panther flashed towards Noah's flashing figure as the fast summons appeared behind him, using their bodies to bring his barreling figure to a halt as the scene they saw caused flames of anger to erupt from their hearts.

Half of Noah's body was missing as a wriggling mass of bones and muscles very quickly regenerated!

"Haaa…"

He let out a guttural breath as his eyes were red and filled with blood, looking incredulously towards the lone figure of the Sword Emperor that had thrown a mere palm his way and shattered his defenses as half of his body was wiped out!

ROAAAR!

OOOOOH!

His pets roared furiously at this scene as they pounced towards the Sage, this powerful being not even glancing at them as his eyes remained on Noah.

"The full assimilation of multiple Daos opens the way to something that only those at the stage of Sage and above enjoy, something that is inviolable in strength and power."

WAP!

The baleful attacks of Noah's pets hit the air as the Sword Emperor appeared above Noah's rapidly regenerating figure, another palm descending down from him as even the Obsidian Panther was not fast enough to prevent it!

BOOM!

Noah had only begun giving the command to his mana to teleport his body when the palm landed on him again.

THUNK!

His figure smashed into the ground as numerous bones cracked, yet they also healed nearly instantly later as the essence of all Universal Laws had begun filling up his injured body with even more vigor!

"You heal nearly instantly. If you can keep this up, maybe you'll learn something."

The moment Noah's body was about to fully reform as new skin covered the regenerated muscles, the figure of the Sword Emperor appeared beside him on the ground as his left hand reached out once more, this time clasping onto his shoulder as a moment later, Noah felt like he was locked on by an unmovable object.

"Here is the first lesson- When one steps into the title of a Sage, they gain access to something called Primordial Essence."

Noah's shining eyes looked at the figure that was nonchalantly talking while holding him in place, his body erupting in multicolored essences as an innumerable number of miniaturized stellar bodies bloomed from him, countless illusory swords also coming out as they all went towards the Sword Emperor!

Sin of Pride and Envy were also running at full steam from Noah's body as he looked at the Sage, yet this being only shook his head as he felt a foreign power try to affect him, the stellar bodies conjured and the illusory stellar rivers of swords not even reaching his body as they seemed to evaporate from a thin film of light.

"In front of true strength, tricks are meaningless."

The hand that clasped onto his shoulder like a metal clamp released a unique essence onto Noah's body, this essence washing over the universal laws essence he conjured up in the form of armament as it utterly shredded it once more, and then proceeded to enter his body as he felt a searing pain in his origin and soul!

"As I was saying- Primordial Essence. It is the access of this unique power that opens the door of true power to Sages, Great Sages, and all those above them. It is also the reason why right now even with all the attacks you used to decimate my Sword Kings...even you can do nothing but defend."

RUMBLE!

Noah felt his mangled body shake as a foreign essence ravaged him, his body thrown behind like a rag doll while his pets tried playing catch up with the figure of the Sword Emperor once more.

This being clad in a white robe simply warped across space as he evaded the attacks of the Animus Summons with ease, his brows lifting up a little as when he warped to a certain place in the skies, the silent figure of a vibrant blue slime was somehow already there as its body ballooned up to try and devour him!

WAP!

Yet before the body of the slime could expand, the Sage was much, much faster as he flashed away, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Truly Interesting."

He floated in the skies grandly as he watched the figures of all of Noah's pets stand in front of his mangled and healing body, their eyes filled with fury as they stared at the Sword Emperor.

Not even an ounce of fear could be seen among them as they were ready to lay their lives at any time for their master!

Noah finished regenerating a second later due to all his support skills that were further enhanced by the Law of Life and the Dao of Vitality, his soul still feeling pulsating pain from the foreign essence that had just ravaged him.

He sat on the flat ground of the green plains as he breathed sporadically, his heart beating fast as he looked towards the being termed a Sage in front of him in shock!

This...what the fuck was this?!

The shocking scene of the Tyrannical Entity that had been decimating other Entities left and right...the scene of this same Entity getting thrashed played out in mystical Realm as the robe of a Sage remained white and clear, his eyes gazing down towards the Tyrannical Entity as he uttered dominating words.

"This...is the power of a Sage."

THRUUUUM!

It was pure speed he could not keep up with!

It was pure power he could not defend against!

It was the wondrous power of a Sage!
