Arkhen spun the roulette 4th time and got a special item.
[ Survival's Orb ]
-Rank: Special.
-Limited to one-time use.
-Effect: activating the orb will create an absolute protection zone of 100 meters to 1000 meters depending on your choice for one hour, and teleport you to you anywhere you've visited before.
"Wow, this is a powerful item even though I can only use it once," Arkhen was surprised.
[Indeed. For the current you, it's a much-needed item.]
"Haha, true. Alright, the last spin," Arkhen said as he spun the roulette for 5th time.
[Congratulations, you have gained 10,000 reality essence].
"Well, since I got the ten thousand reality essence, then activate Supreme Boost for Order Elemental Ruin," Arkhen said as he cracked his neck and fingers. "It's time to make my Chaos Affinity reach level 3."
He had already used one supreme boost on Chaos Elemental Ruin, which progressed his Order Affinity level 2.
But his Chaos Affinity was still level 1, so he decided to open Order Elemental Ruin and make it level 2 as well. Once both of them level 2, he would significantly power up, enough to match 3rd Ring powerhouses.
…
While Arkhen went to comprehend chaos from order, the girls were working hard.
Half a day passed, and everyone made good progress in collecting 194,029 reality motes. That was almost 20,000 reality essence.
But for everyone to progress, they would need way more reality motes.
Sasha, Meya, and Luna stayed near Gerald, Yosin, Sherly, and Tiffani since those four were just 1st Ring powerhouses and needed protection.
"Miss Sasha, I've brought five more beasts. Two of them are 3rd Ring beasts," Tharin said with beads of sweat on his face. 'Damn, I am tired.'
"Good," Sasha nodded before she dealt killing blows to the beasts. "Collect the important body parts."
"Yes," Tharin obediently nodded.
On the other hand, Kolak also brought some beasts to Sierra, Isabella, Zoe, and Evelyn's group at another location where they hunted beasts.
"I found an element crystal!" Zoe said as she picked up a green-colored crystal under a bush near a tree.
"It's a wood elemental crystal. Let's collect them if we encounter them. They can be sold at a good price," Isabella said.
"Yep," Sierra nodded.
…
A day passed since Arkhen entered the Order Elemental Ruin to comprehend chaos and came out.
[My lord, everyone is inside a Dream Fragment and purifying it, including Lucius and Blancia.]
"Got it," Arkhen nodded before thought of something and said, "Velshi, I want to combine three skills."
[Which ones, my lord?]
"Hmm, combine these three SSS rank skills: Thunder Mirage Dash, Roaring Tiger Cannon, and Earth Sphere Explosion."
"Also, do that special combination chance I have. Since the side-quest I have will give me one more chance after completing it, I want to use the current chance and see what kind of skill it creates."
[Understood.]
…
But outside, people were searching for him.
"Have you seen this guy?" The black-garbed men showed Arkhen's drawn picture to everyone they met in the forest.
But Arkhen hadn't stayed long enough for other people to see him.
The two men saw a 3rd Ring powerhouse and were surprised.
"Tsk, when will they return?" Tharin murmured before he also noticed two powerful presences of 3rd Ring powerhouses.
…
Four hours ago, the entire group of Arkhen, including Yosin, Sherly, Tiffani, and Gerald, disappeared before telling them they would return after several hours.
Naturally, all of them went inside Mystic Wonderland to purify Dream Fragment.
Since the system leveled up, Dream Fragment also got stronger and gave more reality essence. Moreover, it actually benefitted them more by progressing in their rings regardless of the requirement.
But the final requirement was still needed to reach the 3rd Ring stage, which was having a level 3 affinity.
It's just they would have to infuse less energy in the ring since killing Dream Beasts in the dream fragment would make certain progress with each kill.
…
Two powerhouses approached Tharin and showed him Arkhen's photo before asking, "Have you seen this guy?"
Tharin looked at the picture and was stunned.
Seeing his expression, those two powerhouses knew that Tharin had seen Arkhen and exerted their aura to pressure Tharin.
"Where is he? Tell me if you have seen his general location."
"What's happening?"
Arkhen flew towards Tharin and saw two men's backs as he asked.
Tharin was wide-eyed seeing Arkhen.
Those two men turned around and saw Arkhen before quickly using their skills.
A prism-shaped prison and a square prison conjured around Arkhen before trapping him!
Arkhen was startled before he narrowed his eyes.
*swoosh!*
From behind, Kolak arrived at fast speed, and upon Arkhen's command, he used his full power to attack the prison.
Seeing that, Tharin quickly attacked those two men from behind while they were not paying attention to him.
*Crackle…Roar!*
A beastly lightning mouth roaring like thunder materialized before he shot toward those two men with palpitating power!
"Fuck!"
Both of them didn't have any time to dodge or create a defensive skill since Tharin was too close to them!
*puchi…*
One of them puked blood before crashing, while the other one puked blood after crashing on the ground.
*Boom!*
Kolak also destroyed those two prisons and freed Arkhen.
"Well, well. Let me guess, are you from some kingdom for that trash I killed? What was his name, Tharin?"
"Miraj," Tharin answered with a smile.
"Ah yes, Miraj," Arkhen said with a smile with his hands behind his back.
The aura around him started increasing as he used several skills.
First, he used Demonic Overlord's Descent and then used the activation effect of his combat art, Eminence of Fiery Dance, as several eccentric fire paths appeared, covering two hundred meters of area in front of him.
Afterward, he used Aegis of Life Conversion as four orbs appeared around him, ready to protect him at any instant.
"Kolak, attack me at low intensity," Arkhen commanded as he saw those two men standing up.
Kolak attacked Arkhen and kept the four protection orbs deactivated from getting hit.
But, when Kolak's normal energy attacks hit him, he wasn't injured because of his physique's passive as the damage was nullified, and in turn, he got chaos force.
"Bastard! You will pay the price for killing Prince Miraj. Hehe, we've already sent a signal to call others. Hehe, today, we'll bring you back to the Kingdom and punish you in the worst way."
"Good luck with that," Arkhen smiled. He stopped the attack he was going to do after hearing that more people were coming and told Tharin and Kolak to attack those two.
While the four of them battled it out, Arkhen occasionally interjected to help Tharin and Kolak. He mostly used Deck of Mystic Card's support deck to debuff enemies and buff those two.
After a minute, those two were near death and were just barely holding it out on defense. Suddenly, Arkhen felt several presences closing in and also saw that the ongoing fight was at a critical juncture
'Time to start.'
A glint passed through Arkhen's eyes as he used Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen and activated Overlord Shrine before using Netherwind Darkness around him,
Tharin and Kolak were not affected since he didn't intend to hurt them, and this skill targeted people based on his intention.
"You two, just try to survive," Arkhen said with a grin before clapping loudly and using his newly acquired superpower!
Magic Clones!
Ten Arkhen appeared.
And right after that, he also used the 2nd active power of the Illusionary Kingdom superpower.
Phantom Maze!
