The Ascendant Existential Extremity Clone of the Protagonist was putting himself to the test.
What his concept truly stood for.

There were even those who made breakthroughs during battle and grew strong enough to overcome it, or other tools that made up the Protagonist came into play!
Other tools.
When it came to this, the eyes of Noah's Ascendant Existential Extremity Clone of the Protagonist became sharp as it shot out from its position and towards the engulfing obsidian crimson Nine Hells of Kataklysmos!
