"Let's go, buddy," Arkhen said to Ruan with a smile before he asked, "how long until we reach the deep forest area?"
"With Ruan's current speed, at least half an hour," Sasha answered.
"Arkhen, how about you five fight some battles in arena grounds for warm-up?" Luna suggested.
"I agree with her. Let's fight some people in the arena first," Sherly said with some excitement in her eyes.
"Alright, then we'll stop there for a while."
…
After ten minutes, they arrived at Arena grounds in the forest, where people had dug giant craters and fought inside.
Almost all of them were 1st Ring powerhouses.
[Bounty Target detected. It's a 3rd Ring powerhouse who had devoured several people's souls from Gravel Realm.]
'Interesting. Point a blue arrow toward him. Make it such that only I can see that arrow.'

When Arkhen and others entered the Arena grounds area, people were surprised looking at Ruan.
One guy, a human, wearing a waistcoat that showed his abs and muscles and looked handsome, walked towards Arkhen and the group after they got off Ruan's back.
"Whose wolf is this?" The guy said as he looked at glanced at Arkhen and others. His eyes shined with lust when he saw the beauties.
He quickly approached Arkhen since he assumed Arkhen was the leader based on how he stood at the front and stretched his hand for a handsome while smiling, "Hi, brother. My name is Miraj. I want to buy this wolf and…
Miraj glanced at Isabella and others for a second before quickly turning back to Arkhen, "cough, never mind. Anyway, I am rich and can help you in any way you want."
'Miraj? Is he that nephew of Bloody Mo?' Tharin thought. 'Hmmm, Bloody Mo was from the 2nd layer's Kingdom and is now handling this arena ground's betting house and other guiding programs. So this Miraj must be from the Kingdom.'
"It's not for sale," Arkhen said before he turned to the nearest arena crater that was twenty meters away and started walking towards it.
The others also followed him.
"Haha, brother. If the wolf is not for sale, then one of those women will do," Miraj said with a laugh.
Arkhen paused while Isabella and others revealed disgusted expressions.
"Brother Arkhen, kill that bastard," Zoe said with an angry pout.
'Kolak, kill him.'
*Swoosh!*
*Boom!*
Alas, Miraj had some protective items that kept him safe.
A barrier appeared around Miraj the moment Kolak's attack reached him.
"Hehe, you are done for. If you had obediently sold me what I wanted, then you wouldn't have lost everything," Miraj said with a nasty grin.
The nearby people also gathered and shook their heads.
"No wonder there are no women around here," Arkhen said as he noticed that there were no women.
"Haha, they all ran away after I arrived here yesterday," Miraj said with a prideful grin. "This Arena ground is my territory."
"What's going on?!"
Suddenly, a powerhouse shout reverberated as a man looking in his thirties arrived. He was slim, had long brown hair, and wore noble clothes.
"Bloody Mo," Tharin said out loud as he looked at the newly arrived powerhouse.
"Tharin and… Kolak?! Why are you attacking my nephew?"
Bloody Mo's face turned dark as he looked at Kolak standing near Miraj.
"Haha, they are listening to that guy's command," Miraj said as he pointed at Arkhen.
Bloody Mo saw Arkhen and women besides as he understood. 'This bastard… I have to send him back before he hits a steel plate.'
Bloody Mo was also annoyed by his nephew's lecherous nature.
"Tharin, fight with that Bloody Mo and keep him busy while I finish off this stupid prick," Arkhen said as he crackled his knuckles.
*Swoosh!*
Kolak flew towards Bloody Mo as Arkhen also commanded him.
"You! Stop, Kolak!"
"No use, Bloody Mo," Tharin said as he flew towards Bloody Mo and roared as a powerful thunder roar with crackling blue waves shot towards Bloody Mo.
Miraj narrowed his eyes as he saw his uncle fighting against two 3rd Ring powerhouse. 'I'll have to call my guards.'
He infused some energy on his earring to notify his two guards.
"Miraj, right?" Arkhen said as he arrived before Miraj and stretched his hand toward the barrier that protected him.
"I wanted to say something, but it will be useless," Arkhen said with a sigh while shaking his head.
"After all, dead people don't remember anything."
[11,400 reality motes deducted]
In the next second, the barrier that protected Miraj suddenly vanished!
"How?!" Miraj shouted in disbelief.
Miraj was a 1st Ring powerhouse, the same as Arkhen. Alas, Arkhen was in a different league of power!
'Genesis Flare, Slaughter Blade-fire type, Vanquish force boost.'
Arkhen used three powers in a second while Miraj was in disbelief as a fist-sized slaughter blade covered by white flames and genesis flare boost hit his head.
*Booom!*
After his head was obliterated, the rest of the power went inside his body under Arkhen's control.
In the next two seconds, his body turned into dark-white ashes and disappeared, leaving his jewelry behind.
"NOOO!" Bloody Mo's eyes turned bloody.
The surrounding people who had gathered were also shocked.
…
In the 2nd layer of the sphere…
Sandia Kingdom, main hall.
*Rumble!*
The King of Sandian Kingdom unleashed a powerful pulse from his body, jolting the entire Kingdom and all people living in the capital town!
People knew that King was angered!
All figureheads that managed the Kingdom rushed into the main hall and saw King Diamos sitting with burning fury in his eyes.
"Father, what happened?" The crown prince, a 4th Ring powerhouse, asked as he knelt on the ground.
"Where did Miraj go?" King Diamos questioned, but his voice still trembled a bit
The Queen and the rest of the harem also arrived as they stood behind the King since they came from the gateway behind the throne in the hall.
"M-Miraj? He went to 1st layer, at uncle Mo's place."
Crown Prince Kale replied with a stammer.
"What happened to Miraj?!" Queen asked as her face went pale.
"His soul talisman burned into crisp," King Diamos replied. His emotions have become under his control by now.
"Miraj…dead?"
*Thud…*
Queen Marina directly fainted and fell. The other women couldn't prevent her from falling since they were shocked at hearing about Miraj's death.
Though some women internally gloated and celebrated his death.
