"Three more skulls, haha. That's just perfect. Brothers, let's do it," one of them with a pair of demonic horns said as he stuck out his long tongue and grinned.
These four scums didn't collect skulls of people for fun. Well, they had fun doing it, but there was a purpose.
Once they reached the required collection of varying age skulls, they would be able to unlock a particular dimension and quickly get strong with a unique method. Especially their soul and body would receive a huge boost, instantly becoming as strong as the 5th ring powerhouse.
Alas, their plans hit a metal plate known as Arkhen.
Arkhen's anger was bubbling inside him, but he still tried to remain in control of that anger because he didn't want to give them an easy death.
'Verve Domain.'
*Swooosh!*
A faint red domain with dark green and white motes expanded from Arkhen as the center and covered ten kilometers of the area!
"Is this your new bloodline's ability?" Sierra curiously asked as she sensed blood essence energy from the domain.
Arkhen nodded, and his hand trembled a bit before he moved his fingers.
"Huh, what is this? Well, whatever… You can just die."
*Booom!*
One of the men conjured a black wind vertical tornado that shot towards Arkhen.
A destructive attack!
However, Arkhen stood there as a black hole appeared before him!
Chaos Empowerment!
Since his Chaos and Order affinity reached level 2, both of his physique's passive also upgraded!
For the Chaos Empowerment passive ability, he could manifest a black hole connected to his body at will, and it would absorb any attacks and turn it into chaos force.
As such, Arkhen absorbed the entire big vertical tornado and became full as he got Chaos force to his limit.
"Arghhhh!!"
Sierra and the other girl with her were startled to hear multiple screams from those four men.
They quickly saw countless blood strings coming out of every part of their body and binding them!
"Is this…?"
Sierra was shocked before exclaiming, "You can control blood?"
"In this Verve Domain, I can freely control blood and disrupt their energy flow. It's even easier against people weaker than me," Arkhen said while suppressing his anger and thinking of how to give them the worst death.
"Arghhhhhh!"
Those four men screamed as Arkhen forcefully extracted their blood before manipulating that blood to mix with his energy and solidifying it to create a prison of blood.
Arkhen trapped them in a prison of their blood!
He maintained the connection to keep them alive and approached them before wearing his Finger armor.
*****
[Exotic Noxious Finger Armor]
-Rank: Unique
-Exotic Poison of the day: Bone Rot
-Cost: 10% of your total blood to use the poison.
-Use: You need to touch the target's skin with your index finger wearing this finger armor to affect them with the poison of the day.
-Note: The poison changes daily, and the poisons are never fatal. But… They are exotic, for sure.
*****
Uncovering their heads, Arkhen touched their foreheads with his finger armor one by one as their screams increased serval notches!
The poison from the finger armor seeped into every bone and started rotting it from the inside while inflicting hellish pain!
"Now the last," Arkhen murmured before he snapped his finger and produced a wisp of White Nightmare flame with some energy before waving his hand.
Four wisps of white nightmare flame attached to their heads before entering their inner space and attacking their soul.
Their screams changed into something more horrifying as their bodies twitched constantly, and their eye showed white sparks of White Nightmare flame.
"Eight hours," Arkhen uttered before he turned back to Sierra and the other girl. "They will suffer three types of torture for eight hours, including their soul being burned by white nightmare flame.
"After eight hours, the flame will completely burn their soul."
The girl beside Sierra shuddered hearing Arkhen's words and felt scared, but she knew that he was their savior and quickly bowed before saying, "Thank you for saving me."
"I-I don't know how to repay this favor, but I have some elemental crystals," the girl said as her elf ears moved up and down in nervousness.
"No need," Sierra said with a smile. "I didn't save you to get something in return. Don't worry. You can return to your group without feeling burdened about this favor."
"Thank you, thank you so much," the girl bowed again before flying away while contacting her group using comm crystal.
"Arkhen, you were pretty far, right? How will you return now?" Sierra asked with a wry smile.
Arkhen could instantly go to members of Mystic Wonderland by entering Mystic Wonderland and coming out to anyone's side. This was set up by Velshi previously when he was trapped and tortured.
But now that Arkhen had arrived by her side to save her, Sierra felt bad.
"I can return because Ruan is in the workshop. Anyway, how many motes have you collected?"
"Ninety-three thousand. I am close to reaching the goal," Sierra said with a chuckle before waving her hand." See you soon."
She flew away to finish her task while Arkhen returned to the shop's workshop by entering Mystic Wonderland and exiting again, but at Ruan's side.
…
"Yeash! This plan really worked, girls. Hehe, let's quickly finish and tell darling our wishes," Meya excitedly said as she, Zoe, and Evelyn worked together to kill beasts!
Moreover, the three of them had combined their specialties and were killing beasts so fast that they were close to collecting 300k reality motes!
"There!" Evelyn pointed in a direction. Her eyes were glowing as she was using her Scope element's power!
"Another one there! Double scope transfer is ready. Shoot them, girls," Evelyn continued as she looked at Zoe and Meya.
Meya buffed Zoe and Zoe used her shadow bolt skill before two flickering black bolts appeared.
Evelyn waved her hand as those two bolts disappeared and directly appeared in front of two beasts!
*Chreee!*
The bolts penetrated their heads, instantly killing the two 2nd Ring beasts!
Evelyn detected three more beasts with her scope vision sense while Meya used her attacking skill this time.
Another three beasts dead!
