Resplendent lights were shining in the Spiritual Land and outside it, as a hazy shield that was isolating everything in the floating landmass became more and more distinct.
OOOH!
An excited howl erupted from Noah's mouth as he poured out more and more mana without reservation, feeling the amount required for the master of the Spiritual Land to provide reaching the maximum capacity in a few minutes as the process was about to finish.
A blinding light erupted out with the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land at the center and spread out in the dark waters of the Abyss, almost as if signifying the birth of something wondrous.
There were all sorts of colors still shining inside the Spiritual Land as the beasts howled excitedly, feeling the changes as dense essence congregated around and was raised to even higher levels around them.
Grandiosity was spread out from the Spiritual Land as Noah checked the changes under {Spiritual Land Management}

His mind was fully locked into the singular feature that he was looking forward to the most.
[Time Dilation] :: The abstract concept of time can be manipulated in a small area. 1:5 Ratio (Unlocked), 1:10 Ratio (Locked), 1:20 Ratio (Locked)...
There were amazing words listed under the description of [Time Dilation] that made Noah's heart palpitate. New information was sent to his mind from the Spiritual Land about the new changes, and the one that dealt with [Time Dilation] was the rise of runic monoliths in the underground area of the Spiritual Land.
The many runic monoliths surrounded an area of two acres, forming into what looked like a circular enclosure. Thin blue lines spread out from each of the monoliths as they connected to one another. This was the area where [Time Dilation] could be applied. This was the newly created [Time Space]
An area of more than 2 acres where whoever entered and stayed in, 5 hours in that area would be equivalent to 1 hours outside of it. Noah's eyes shined with excitement as he couldn't wait to begin his training regiment in this location.
He could spend a bit over a month in the [Time Space] to raise the proficiency and spam skills as much as he wished, combining them continuously with ease thereafter. This was a plan he had in the back of his mind, but never expected to be implementing it so soon.
The main way he rapidly increased his strength was to kill enemies of the next rank and absorb their cores and skills to attain their rank. He always lagged behind in his combinations as he had to spend a significant amount of time to raise the proficiency of his skills before he could combine them. His highest combined skill was currently EPIC+ while he has amassed many more skills at the MYTHICAL rank through defeating enemies.
But, with the use of this [Time Space]...he might be able to rise up even faster with [Skill Combination], achieving a PHANTASMAL ranked skill that would put him far ahead.
Since awakening from rank F, he had only been active for a little over two months to achieve Mythical rank. If he spent 1 month in the [Time Space], which would be equivalent to less than a week in the outside world, that would be more than one-third of all the time he spent since awakening. The rapid rise in strength during that time...his eyes shined as he thought of the ridiculous things he was about to do.
He wanted to quickly get started with his training before he went searching for the [Kraken], when he felt a few oppressive auras gathering outside the Spiritual Land.
"Hey little fish, while you were there spacing out, a few more fishes surrounded your isolated space treasure~"
The nonchalant voice of Barbatos rang out from the fantastic modern house Noah had built first as the Demon Empress had her feet up while relaxing at the same fluffy couches that a certain arrogant beast enjoyed as well.
Noah turned his attention to the outside world where he found three large deep-sea creatures surrounding the Spiritual Land menacingly as they were attracted by the abundant explosion of energy during the upgrade. His eyes shined as he turned towards the other unlocked feature after the upgrade, wanting to try it out on these newly appearing Mythical deep-sea creatures.
[Offensive Maneuvers] :: The Spiritual Land becomes a tool for destruction. Features include Beast Armament and Falling Meteor.
The feature was straightforward, giving two possibilities of attack. Noah looked at the newly advanced Mythical beasts as his eyes shined, he would try the [Beast Armament] first!
His thoughts were delivered into the {Spiritual Land Management} unique skill as a blue and white light began to shine on the bodies of the [Emperor Penguin] and the other 6 newly advanced Mythical Beasts. A tremendous amount of mana left Noah's body as one of the moves of the [Offensive Maneuvers] feature was used.
On the body of the arrogant penguin began to appear a snowy blue suit of armor. The material of the armor couldn't be discerned, only looking extremely resplendent and powerful as it went to fit his body like it was made for him. The [Winged Spider] also had its own specialized armor wrapping around its body, its many legs gaining jagged blades that shone with a red light.
This scene repeated for all of the Mythical Beasts as powerful pieces of armor that let out maddening pressure appeared on their bodies.
RAA!
Excited howls were let out from the beasts as Noah gave the command to attack. The arrogant penguin led the charge as its body flashed with silver light and appeared outside the bubble of the Spiritual Land. Its flippers were now modified to have long serrated blades as they struck towards one of the Mythical Deep Sea Creatures.
RAA! RAA! RAA!
A terrifying [Winged Spider] with fitted metal wings and sharp legs, a gloriously armored [Arctic Fox], and all the other beasts rushed outside the Spiritual Land and pounced on the surrounding Deep Sea Creatures as the beasts were finally let out of the Frozen Plateau to battle their Master's enemies.
