"These stats are really… Hahaha."
[Yep. You are one of the strongest 3rd Ring powerhouses unless there's someone who has more than one level 3 affinity at the 3rd-ring stage. But even so, you can win against them as your stats are very high.]
Arkhen smiled and said, 'I'll get my second level 3 affinity after others get their turn in Elemental Ruins to reach level 3 in one of their affinities.'
'That reminded me. Where are they?'
[They just entered a Dream Fragment a minute ago.]
"So they are once again inside…. Well, they should reach the peak of their current Ring stage by the time they come out, right?"
[Indeed. Yosin, Gerald, Sherly, and Tiffani will break through to the 2nd Ring stage after an hour, while others will reach the bottleneck of their 2nd Ring stage before coming out of Dream Fragment.]
"Great. Then I'll go and start moving. Our work in this 1st layer is done."
Arkhen also saw Reality Essence increase by 7500, while his reality motes increased by 89k. 'Everyone worked hard, haha. I guess we can enjoy a small break later.'
[You must do that. Breaking through to the 3rd Ring so fast has caused your rings to be unstable. You need to solidify their foundation by refining them gently with your energy and fighting.]
[The others will also need to take it easy and solidify the foundation of the rings after reaching the 3rd Ring stage.]
'Got it.'
…
After leaving Mystic Wonderland, Arkhen and Kolak went to the passage entrance to the 2nd layer.
On the way, they saw many people going in and out of the passage.
It was a five-kilometer-long passage, and Arkhen was not in a hurry, so he reached the 2nd layer after ten minutes.
However, when he entered the 2nd layer, he was surprised.
"There's also a sky here? What's going on?" Arkhen asked in confusion.
They went under the ground of this sphere! So how come there was a sky here with clouds and stars and sun?
[These spheres are inter-dimensional world spheres, my lord. Essentially, you are in another dimension in the same sphere. The 2nd layer consists of many dimensions connected to each other via inter-space passages.]
[Moreover, you don't need to fly out of the sphere's 1st layer to travel to a different sphere. You can do that by going to the 3rd layer of this sphere and teleporting to another sphere via space passages.]
"Damn…" Arkhen was speechless. If the scientists of Earth knew that such fantastic and mind-blowing things existed above their universe, they would turn mad with excitement.
Arkhen saw a lush green plain after arriving in the 2nd layer. Far away, he saw shadows of mountains.
But there was a road in front of him, and people were walking on that large road, so he also traveled on it before seeing a large city with tall buildings made from exquisite wood and stones.
'I'll get a 4th Ring slave first,' Arkhen thought with a glint in his eyes as he entered the city.
After walking for a bit, observing the stores and various people of different races, Arkhen entered a relatively big Blacksmith shop.
"Welcome, esteemed customer. How can I help you?" A staff lady with squirrel ears and a thick fluffy brown tail approached him and asked politely with a smile.
Arkhen smiled back and said, "Can you tell me the name of a powerful 4th Ring person in this city?"
"A 4th ring stage powerhouse?" The girl repeated before looking around and whispering, "the most powerful is Ginjal. He is also very bad and oppresses people here."
"Sigh, now people here waiting for another one who can kill this Ginjal or waiting for him to go to 3rd layer. But the cycle will still continue. After Ginjal, someone else will take his place, and people will have to wait for someone again to kill that person." the staff lady lamented.
"I heard only rarely can this city get someone decent who looks out for the city and doesn't let these atrocities happen while they stay here to make progress," the staff lady continued as she curiously asked, "mister, are you here to stay in this dimension of 2nd layer until you reach the peak of 4th Ring?"
"Yeah," Arkhen nodded with a smile before asking, "So, where can I find him?"
"He stays in his lavish mansion in the north of the city. You can easily find him," the staff lady answered.
"Got it. What's your name, lady?"
"Misa."
"Alright, Misa. Thanks for the help," Arkhen said with a nod before he turned around and left the store.
"W-What?" Misa was dumbfounded seeing Arkhen leaving. Arkhen had just entered and then left.
Arkhen actually wanted to buy something in that store, but then he remembered that he didn't have any currency to buy things here since he gave all of it and other resources to Tharin so that he could arrange a good place for them in the Sandia Kingdom.
As he walked out of the store's peripheral and entered the road, he heard a crashing sound from behind as Misa, who talked to him in the store, came flying out with her arms broken, bones protruding out of her right leg, and spurting blood out of her mouth.
She was on the verge of dying!
Arkhen was startled and quickly told Velshi to heal her.
Arkhen helped her get up by grabbing her hand and shoulder before asking. "What happened?"
"I- what?" Misa's brain was still fuzzy, but she was mostly shocked at how suddenly her injuries healed.
She almost thought she was dead, and thinking that caused her eyes to fill with tears and fear.
Arkhen heard some footsteps and turned in the store's direction as he saw a burly man with a black bandana and a loose white silk outfit with a belt at his waist.
