Noah's Ancient Blood clone passed through the large gate that stood within the Second Infernal Realm. The legion of infernals followed behind him closely as they passed through with utter cordiality- It looked like the procession of a king that was leading his troops to battle!
RUMBLE!
They passed through the gate as Noah felt the changing of spatial locations, his eyes and senses opening up as a brand new world and folded itself in front of him. The void of space was not too different from the one that he was used to, but he felt a peculiarity that made him know that this was not the Light Expanse.
This peculiarity was hard to pinpoint, but his sense told him that he had fully arrived into the other side of the Novus Galaxy, the Dark Expanse!
OOOOM
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Infernal Legion passed through the gateway easily and appeared behind him as the surroundings of this particular Infernal Gate that led to the Second Infernal Realm was not actually surrounded by numerous warsh.i.p.s as the first one that he went in through to conduct the Infernal Hunt with the Celestials.
The large gate stood alone in the vastness of space without a single soul in the surroundings. This was because there was a certain agreement between the beings of the Dark Expanse and the Infernals.
The leaders of both forces knew that their enemy was not among each other, but something even larger that stood to threaten all of them. Thus, there wasn't any measure of protection or watch surrounding this gate as Noah glanced around the empty doorway that led the infernal realm and began to take the legion under him towards the coordinates where a certain Verittas Fortress was.
This would be the location that the first collision of this war would occur in!
RUMBLE!
The strong force of ten thousand infernals that consisted of a majority void ranked and the remainder being at the Soul Rank and even the ten at the Domain Expansion Realm thundered forth menacingly as they followed behind their infernal Lord.
Noah ignored any of the surrounding planets, whether dead or alive that he passed as you continued forward for a few hours, eventually coming across a bustle of activities as he began to see exquisitely designed warsh.i.p.s that were much different than what the celestials wielded move across the void of space. These vessels were only similar to the ones Celestials used in shape, seeming more like imitations that could never live up to the real thing when actually put to the test.
He could also sense numerous figures at the void realm or above streaking as lights across the vastness of space, their faces serious as they prepared for something big. Noah glanced at the appearance of these beings from the Dark Expanse as he neared the Verittas Fortress.
They weren't all that different from the beings it was used to seeing in the Light Expanse, with most of them being humans and the remainder being collective beings of other races. Many of those he came across glanced at the fearsome ten thousand army force that went towards the vast Verittas Fortress.
But they only watched on as relieved expressions actually appeared on their faces, their hearts seeming more at ease as these fearsome looking Infernals appeared in front of them.
This was an extremely stark difference compared to how infernals were viewed in the Light Expanse where they were feared and even told as ghost stories to scare kids. In the Dark Expanse, Infernals were welcomed as they represented a force of protection against the raging celestials!
Noah continued forward until he came across a collection of beings that actually came towards him with their heads bowed down respectfully. The beings had conical hats that would make one assume for them to have the profession that was fairly unique but wide-spread in the Dark Expanse- the profession of a Wizard!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWizards were also called Mages, beings that wielded incredible magic to affect the essence in their surroundings and produce spectacular spells that could even weave the very reality itself when utilized at their peak.
10 Wizards came bowing towards Noah, stopping his procession of 10,000 infernals. The beings had power at the level of the Soul Forging Realm, the one at the forefront standing at the Domain Expansion Realm speaking.
"It is an honor to have the aid of an Infernal Lord. Please, let us guide you."
The ten beings respectfully pointed towards a certain location, their eyes slightly shaking as they stared at the field of Chaos that the being in front of them freely released. Noah nodded and went along with them, where inn front of his eyes the appearance of this spectacular location known as the Veritas Fortress became apparent.
It was worthy of being called a fortress as shockingly, he found it to be a literal planet-sized fortress that was floating in the void of space. It was not circular like most of the planets he had come across. It actually seemed more like a floating island that was even bigger than his Spiritual World, but this floating island was built in the terms and designs of a unique fortress.
There was a truly exuberant numbers of beings that could be sensed within and around this planet sized Verittas Fortress, being the highest number of beings that Noah had seen cl.u.s.tered in one area at once. Numerous vessels moved around it as beings of all species and races moved in out, the busy bustle of activities only getting wilder as he moved closer.
His eyes observed a purple field of light surrounding this entire fortress that looked to be even bigger than most prime worlds and infinitely neared the rank of a Realm.
Looking at this grandiose Verittas Fortress, he knew that he had arrived in the Dark Expanse. He had arrived at the location where the first battle against the celestials would take place. He had arrived at the location where the 9th Infernal Lord would make his presence known!
