Chapter 425 - Unruly Guider!
The eyes of the Ancient Blood Clone shone with splendor as he watched one skill pathway disappear and another one fully settle in under [Fate's Guardian]. The one to disappear was Devout Follower, with the one he chose being [Unruly Guider]!
The stat panel shone as new words and abilities were shown to Noah's eyes, the skill tree going on to add four new abilities as he glanced at their descriptions.
SOUL [Fate's Guardian](45/45) :: As a beginner just learning the workings of fate, the role of a guardian that protects the weak and eviscerates evil is given to you. Abilities include Empyrean Guards(5/5), Empyrean Armament(5/5), Smite of Liberation(5/5), and Judgment(5/5). >> [Unruly Guider] (0/60) :: A path of one that questions and forms their own rules, using immense offensive power to guide lost beings. Additional Abilities include Empyrean Ruler (0/5), Liberator (0/5), Fate Stealer(0/5) Golden Guider(0/5)
A new set of abilities were shown strongly on the skill tree of [Fate's Guardian]. Noah glanced over at the skills as he began putting in skill points right away, wanting to see the full uncovered potential of these abilities right away!
[Empyrean Ruler] (5/5):: The number of Empyrean Guards that the Unruly Guider can summon is increased to 12.
[Liberator] (5/5) :: The Blades of Liberation feel the strong will of the Unruly Guider, gaining their own will as they stay alongside you to bring Judgement to your enemies. +180% Physical Damage, +180% Soul Damage, and +180% Attack Speed to the [Sword of Liberation] ability.
[Fate Stealer] (5/5) :: A support ability that is only activated when an enemy that is proficient in the workings of fate stands against the Unruly Guider and faces their death. 12% of the Fate Essence that they have collected over the years will be absorbed by the Guider.
[Golden Guider] (5/5) :: All the beings that are following the rule of the Unruly Guider are blessed with his source of strength as a portion of the user's aura of fate surrounds them. To those classified as Subordinates of the Unruly Guider: +120% Physical, Soul, and Elemental Damage, +120% Cast and Attack Speed, +120% All Element Resistance, +120% Defense.
Clear and crisp descriptions that made Noah's eyes shine were laid out in front of him, a spectacular set of abilities being added to his arsenal as he went through them slowly. [Empyrean Ruler] and [Liberator] were geared towards strengthening the skills under Fate's Guardian, with [Fate Stealer] being something unique that would most likely allow him to increase his percentage in the Law of Fate faster if he took down beings also proficient in it.
The last skill [Golden Guider] was a particularly interesting one, as it actually granted fairly huge boosts to those following him. He didn't have even a slight worry of the mention that a portion of his fate would surround them as he had long since used the abilities of <<Herald of Fate>> when he first received them to hide hisown fate, the world's he was connected to, and all the beings around him!
This Absolute Skill was just another one of the skills that Noah had active at all times which continued to suck mana to remain this way, but it gave him boundless benefits of moving covertly with his forces while holding no worries.
Even if a Celestial were to be standing right next to someone like the Emperor Penguin and glance at his fate, all they would see would be a normal fate of a unique beast that had the bloodline of a Vampyre!
So Noah himself held no worries, with the only thing he wondered being exactly what classifications there were on who was considered his Subordinate. As his thoughts wondered, in another location in the Celestial Realm, the Order of Blood with Elena at the lead had already found and were hunting another Fire Behemoth when they felt an ecstatic feeling of strength wrap around their bodies silently.
The first one to notice things was the Kraken, as it had cast its [Sea Ray] ability and was releasing powerful destructive rays of light from its reddened eyes when it suddenly noticed its output increase instantly, the rays doubling in size as they shot forth with even more vigor, and it also discerned a golden aura now moving along with these destructive rays as they actually pierced the hide of the Fire Behemoth they were fighting and caused it to release a pained scream!
ROAAR!
The surroundings shook as the skill of the Kraken was the first one to hit the beast the moment after Noah obtained the [Golden Guider] skill and placed 5 Skill Points into it. The ability had turned especially deadly as it now carried Noah's aura of fate, which provided the abstruse Soul Damage that very few could defend against!
The others very quickly noticed the changes as they felt their bodies to be lighter and faster, using their essence to check their bodies as they felt the appearance of a warm and powerful aura enveloping them.
"Master!"
"Ahh, Progenitor!"
The Emperor Penguin was the first to attribute the change to the only person responsible, with Elena hugging her body tightly as she felt the warm aura surround her and enhance her strength.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
The Emperor Penguin waved its flippers as it released numerous [Spatial Blades], this time they were covered with a tinge of a golden aura that went on to pierce through the defenses of the Fire Behemoth easier as it let out another pained roar from the soul damage that came with it!
This stupendous situation was occurring in multiple places, as those who were labeled as Noah's subordinates were truly too numerous to even count!
In the Spiritual World, those remaining in the Time Space to max the proficiencies of their skill trees felt this powerful aura wrap around them. Those in the First Infernal Realm of Hell like the young dragon Draco felt their bodies gain a power that allowed them to take down the Infernals with even greater ease!
Going even further, in a random created Dungeon in Noah's home world where a Rank B Hunter had recklessly dived into a dungeon by himself and was about to die, his body felt an abundance of strength as his low ranking iron blade gained a tinge of a red aura that went on to actually defend against the blow of the troll in front of him, his gaze looking at his sword in shock as he then moved at a speed he had never moved before and slashed towards the beast.
SHAA!
The weak iron blade cut through the defenses of the troll like nothing as the hunter that had overestimated his abilities and was about to lose his life looked around in shock, not understanding what was happening as a unique thought passed through his mind.
'Was I actually born with an unknown power and am meant for great things?!'
To go even further, a man that had just become a father was playing with his child who could barely form words yet in a small city in the United Federation of Noah's home world.
"Say papa, say papa my little boy!"
The father was cradling the boy in his arms with his face full of joy, the child amused by the expressions as random sounds left its mouth.
"aha, da..da!"
The joy on the father's face only increased as he repeated his words, and it was this time that the unique energy of the Golden Guider wrapped around the both of them.
"Say papa...!"
The words of the young father stopped midway as he felt the foreign energy, his joyful expression that was observing his child seeing it adopt a never before seen serious expression as a word actually came out of the child's mouth!
"Papa."
...!!!
Numerous situations like these continued to play out across an expansive array of places as the [Golden Guider] skill that granted boosts to the beings considered to be Noah's subordinates were shockingly applied to every single being on the many planets he was connected to!
