The next day, Arkhen and Azela purposefully went out into the capital town and started roaming.
According to Velshi, that wench should have entered the capital town by now.
After roaming the streets for a while, a girl suddenly bumped into them. She had books in her hand and wore big round glasses. The outfit she wore consisted of a scholarly blue and white robe. She had a dark blue short ponytail and a bomb body with big boobs and thick butt cheeks.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I-I was not focused," the girl quickly said as she started picking up her books that fell.
"It's fine," Azela and Arkhen helped her pick the books.
[My lord. She is the one. This is not her real appearance since she used some skill to change her looks and body].
"T-Thank you. Again, I am really sorry," the girl said as she bowed, tears appearing in her eyes.
"Haha, it's fine. It's nothing to cry about," Arkhen said with a laugh.
The girl was startled and quickly took off her glass and wiped her tears with an embarrassed expression. "No, it's not that. I... I just failed to get into the Magic Jewelist guild I wanted to join. Now, I don't even have a place to stay and no money since I used all of them for preparation."
Tears once again welled in her eyes as she spoke, but she quickly wiped them.
Azela and Arkhen were talking in the telepathy network, so Azela also knew what to do.
"It seems that you are in a pinch," Azela said with a kind smile before continuing, "we are also guests at a duke palace, but we can make arrangements for you to stay there for a few days if you don't mind."
"Really?" the girl's eyes shined as she quickly responded, "If it's really possible, then p-please do so. I will be very thankful for your help. I just need to stay for three days. After that, I will retake the test and definitely pass this time."
"Also, my name is Reisa. It's really nice to meet you. You are going to help me a lot. Thank you, thank you very much."
...
After returning to the Duke's palace, Arkhen and Azela talked with Reisa for over ten minutes in Arkhen's room while sitting at the table.
"By the way, since you two are new in the 1st realm, and earn money and resources, you should learn a profession," Reisa said with a smile. "Honestly, I don't want to risk fighting so much and die. That's why I want to become a Jewelist and get stronger by safely earning money and resources by doing Jeweling."
"Oh? That's kind of good," Arkhen said as he raised his eyebrows. 'I'll let some of them master a profession so they can also help me.'
[Regarding that... You will know soon after you occupy more regions in the Mystic Wonderland and Nirvana Awaken your women]
"I feel that sister Azela has some affinity with the Jewelist profession. How about I teach you?" Reisa said with a cute and gentle smile as she looked at Azela.
At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Liani entered... According to the plan.
"I heard that we have a guest here and also an aspiring Jewelist? Haha, Alright, let me help you," Liani said with a smile as she approached the table and sat on a chair beside Reisa.
"Ahh! Y-You..." Reisa was startled and quickly said, "but your excellency is the grand duchess, aren't you busy? I don't dare to take up your time."
"It's fine. I am free for the next few days," Liani said with a light chuckle.
"I am not interested in Jewelist, so I'll go out, haha. You all enjoy," Arkhen stood up and left the room before entering another room and taking out the Memory Crystal Fishing Rod!!
...
Reisa, Liani, and Azela were discussing, and Liani was genuinely teaching both of them about the Jewelist. Although her main side profession was not jewelist, she was still a 7th-class Jewelist.
Meanwhile, Arkhen had taken out the Memory Crystal Fishing Rod and was watching Reisa's memories to know more about her. He spent reality motes to specifically pull out memories that he could use against her.
'Interesting... So, she was born in the 2nd realm as a princess of a kingdom.'
'Hmm?' Arkhen was a bit speechless as he saw that the reason for the destruction of her kingdom was herself.
She was pampered since young, and one day, she offended someone over a petty thing and sneakily tried to kill that person.
Alas, that person turned out to be a big shot, causing her whole kingdom to get destroyed because of her actions. She was captured and crippled off her powers before being sold as a slave.
After struggling and scheming against her master, she managed to gain power and escape before she slowly got stronger by staying low-key and scheming against others out of greed and her desires. Ultimately, she managed to ascend to the 3rd realm and now settled there.
Arkhen continued watching her memories to find some information and secrets that could shock and impact her so that he could use them in the battle of willpower to weaken her.
After half an hour, Arkhen already got the information that he wanted and needed. Since he had a telepathy network connection with Azela and he was also in the range, Arkhen finally commenced the plan.
...
'Damn, when will this bitch leave from here? Doesn't she have anything else to do?' Reisa thought internally. She couldn't act with her plan since this Duchess Liani was here. If she used her soul power, this duchess Liani would surely sense it.
Reisa wanted to hypnotize Azela using her superior soul power and skill, but she was not getting that chance!
'Also, why is this Azela not awakening her soul and making a connection with a Star of Endowment?' Reisa thought as she felt suspicious. Her senses tingled, telling her that there was some problem. But she attributed that tingling of senses to Liani's presence because it was internally making her uncomfortable.
She never thought that these people already knew about her! Normally, there was no way that these people would know she was going to come here to devour Azela's soul. It was an impossible guess.
Alas, the normal didn't apply to Arkhen, who had the Reality System.
"Excuse me, I'll be back in a bit," Azela stood up. "Going to the washroom."
"Alright," Liani nodded before she turned to Reisa, "So, did you understand that rule?"
"Ah- Yes... I did, I did. Thank you very much," Reisa said as she quickly nodded.
'So it's time, eh?' Liani thought. According to the plan, she had to act when Azela left the table and entered the bathroom so that Azela could stay out of the danger in case Reisa acted fast.
As such, right after Azela entered the bathroom, a glint passed through Liani's eyes as a prism barrier appeared around the table, trapping herself and Reisa inside.
"T-This?..." Reisa was startled to see the barrier. "What happened, lady Laini?"
"Still acting innocent?" Liani questioned with a smile before a burst of soul power left her body and she attacked Reisa.
Reisa's eyes turned wide as power also flickered in her eyes. Although shocked, she didn't have time to think and quickly acted in defense.
A clash of soul power took place and both of them were not equal. Reisa was obviously stronger in soul power. Alas, the moment she mistakenly released a bit more of her soul power to defend, the suppression took place as the realm pressured her!
"Urghh! Stop!" Reisa screeched as her appearance changed. Her height got taller, her waist slimmer, long blue hair flowed behind her as a gorgeous two-piece dress appeared over her body with a faint silk robe, showing her belly through the faint silk robe's gap and the cleavage of her big boobs.
"Don't! Let me go!" Reisa said with fear in her eyes. This Liani was a peak powerhouse who had completed her path of the star! While in a suppressed state, Reisa couldn't beat her!
*Clak!*
The door opened at that time as Arkhen entered with a dominating grin on his face. A fierce fighting spirit also burned in his eyes as he wanted to dominate this woman with his willpower and steal her skill using his Endowment skill while he would defeat her in the battle of willpower using his Realm Artifact.
Two birds with Two stones! He planned to use his Realm Artifact to drag her into the battle of willpower now that she was weakened. During that battle of willpower, he would initiate the battle of will domination using the <Ravenous Devourment> skill!
Naturally, he would boost the skill's initial impact using his EX rank skill, the <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen]!!!

[Bell of Gracious Doom]
-Realm Artifact
-Use: Infusing primal energy in the bell will ring a melody in the head of the selected target to activate the effect. You can select the target by focusing your gaze on that being.
-Effect: You will enter a clash of wills with your target's will. If you win in this clash, the target will come under your absolute control for one month and obey your commands.
-1st Note: You can only use this bell three times whether successful or not. The moment you infused primal energy in the bell, it will be considered used once.
-2nd Note: After the bell is used three times, it will transform into an inheritance of a random exclusive skill.
-2nd Note: This Artifact will only work while you are in the 1st realm: Breadth of the Wildered. Once you ascend to the second realm, this Artifact will automatically disappear even if you haven't used it up, and you also won't gain the exclusive skill.
----
Taking out the bell, Arkhen infused primal energy in it and used it.
*~~~*
A peaceful melody of doom reverberated in the room. It passed through Liani's barrier and forcefully entered Reisa's mind.
Battle of Will... Start!
