Arkhen flew out of the Warring Meadow and indeed saw an army.
But the only danger he had was from those two 5th Ring powerhouses, and he wanted to fight that danger.
"That's him!"
"Prince Kale, that guy's face matches the picture."
Everyone's gaze was directed at Arkhen as he floated in the air.
"Commander, capture him alive if possible. I want to bring it to my mother," Prince Kale said.
The muscular bald man wearing dark red armor and a long and powerful spear in his hand nodded before narrowing his eyes at Arkhen.
*swoosh!*
A pair of wings materialized behind him before he disappeared from his location and flew towards Arkhen.
'Nice, I am faster in speed than that 5th ring powerhouse,' Arkhen thought after seeing that speed. 'Unless he didn't fly at his full speed.'
[My lord. Let me scan the area as I feel some malicious gazes locked on you from the ground].
'Alright.'
"Boy, you should know that you've reached a dead end. So obediently come with us," the commander said after he used some skill and trapped Arkhen into a red cube with black patterns.
"Dead end, eh? Yeah," Arkhen nodded with a smile before a black hole appeared in front of him and sucked all energy off the cube as it disappeared.
'To reach the 5th ring stage level of physical stats, I'll need to use that method,' Arkhen thought as he used all the chaos force he got to empower his physical body and started getting bigger.
"Hahaha, you think you can beat me if you get bigger?" The commander laughed with disdain before he attacked Arkhen.
But Arkhen commanded his 4th Ring powerhouse slave to fight against this commander.
*Swoosh!*
That slave flew out from Warring Meadow and created a defensive wall of energy to block the commander's cannon orb attack.
'Burn your soul and blood, but defend me at all cost,' Arkhen commanded.
"Arghhhh!" The enslaved powerhouse roared as he started using his blood essence and burning his soul to empower his attacks and engaged in battle with the commander.
"Are you mad?" The commander asked with a dumbfounded expression. 'Why is this guy wasting his life for that brat?'
That slave was of some hybrid demonic race, meaning that Arkhen was not related to him. So why was he wasting his life to protect Arkhen?
'Bah, whatever.'
The commander snorted and started attacking with his full power.
On the other hand, Velshi reported a piece of shocking news to Arkhen.
[My lord, I think we are in grave danger, there are ten 5th-ring powerhouses waiting below, and… they are most likely from Myriad Mayhem.]
'What?!... Fuck, if that's true, then they must have that mirror that can seal me.'
Arkhen's face slightly darkened as he started thinking.
The current main quest was to wipe out ten leaders of Myriad Mayhem in this 2nd realm.
They were here, so this was a perfect opportunity. But that mirror…
'I got an idea. I'll control that commander and then engage in combat with that other 5th-ring powerhouse. But, when I tell you, you will forcefully teleport me to where those ten leaders are hiding.'
[Understood. Also, your skill combination is finished, and it's your strongest skill after I added that complementary skill, even stronger than the Supreme-rank skill]
[It's an Exceed-rank skill! You can give it a suitable name after using it.]
'Let me learn it, quick.'
Arkhen felt an intense headache, but he kept his gaze on the commander, who leisurely swept his spear before releasing a long wingless dragon projectile at a light speed that finally shredded that 4th ring powerhouse into pieces.
Death.
"Alright, brat. Do you still want to resist or want some slaps before I take you back?"
Arkhen looked at the commander with a distant gaze, "I have far more troublesome matters at hand than playing with you."
"You!"
Baldy's face turned red in humiliation. He was just about to attack Arkhen, but before he could do that, a sudden force assaulted his soul.
Empyrean's Authority!
'It's good that you came here alone.'
Arkhen thought before proceeding to beat the living shit out of that commander's will avatar.
"What's happening?" Kale frowned when he saw Arkhen and Commander just floating blankly without doing anything.
"Something is wrong," said a man with a white hand fan in his hand as he narrowed his eyes. "I'll go."
The man with hand fun was the second 5th Ring powerhouse.
[My lord. Another 5th Ring powerhouse is coming. Be quick, or quit.]
'Fuck…'
Arkhen cursed as he had to break the ability.
On the other hand, the commander's eyes shot open as he started heaving wildly.
"D-Damn! Kill him! Zunil!"
Arkhen clicked his tongue at the incoming cannon orb, which had over 200,000 Offensive power!
But Arkhen was ready to use his defensive skill.
Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen!
Oblivion Shrine appeared beside Arkhen before the space around Arkhen became wobbly.
When that cannonball hit that wobbly space, it simply vanished!
'Got the order force. Now let's begin.'
Arkhen got the required order force since he consumed 25% of his soul energy to use Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen.
'Order of Extreme Condensement!'
His fifteen meters tall stature started shrinking as his organs, bones, blood, and even cells started condensing!
While he was shrinking, Arkhen saw those two just looking at him, so he also didn't run away.
If he started running back, it would instead prompt them to attack. But for now, those two 5th Ring powerhouses still thought it would be easy to subdue Arkhen since he was an entire power base lower than them.
'Keep the aura suppressed, Velshi. I don't want them to know my physical prowess.'
Arkhen said after he became just a half meter tall in size!
"Bastard, I don't know what you did to me, but that was certainly dangerous. However, your stunts are over now, pipsqueak."
The commander once again trapped Arkhen, but this time in three layers.
The other 5th-ring powerhouse also created two barriers around Arkhen.
Arkhen smiled and punched.
*Dhoof!*
Not even a single layer broke!
"Shucks. Well, you can bring me back to your kingdom," Arkhen said as he raised his hands helplessly.
[My lord? I am sure you can easily break them and even kill those two with your current physical prowess.]
After shrinking to half a meter in size, Arkhen's physical stats were over 25,000! That was nuts!
'I can, but I might as well complete the side quest since I am at it.'
[Oh, I get it. Alright.]
The side quest was about conquering the Sandia Kingdom, and they planned to bring him there!
