Chapter 604 Dark Battle Arena (1)

Chapter 604 Dark Battle Arena (1)

Jacob entered the Dark Room; it was five hundred square feet large and brightly lit. There was a small area for alchemy practice and another area for magic training with unfamiliar equipment.

But what Jacob was focusing on was a dark crystalline pod attached to the western wall. It was 25 meters long, and tiny runes were embedded in its shell.

At this moment, Jacob felt a vibration on his wrist, and a control virtual menu appeared on his star watch. This control menu was used to adjust the Dark Room settings, like the unique magic elements setting, training sequels, and finally, the operating information of the Dark Pod.

After reading the information, Jacob confirmed that the Dark Pod was indeed the equipment to connect him to the Dark Battle Arena, the true specialty of the Dark Room.

But he wasn't in a hurry to try it; despite his curiosity, he didn't forget his true purpose here. So, he arranged the setting of the room, making it adjust for alchemy.

The next moment, he waved his sleeve, and Karim appeared in front of him!

"I'm going to teach you how to make Titan tears. Afterward, you will continue the refinement." Jacob coldly commands Autarch.

"I understand." Autarch sounded in acknowledgment.

Before, Jacob was planning to use Karim to refine the materials while he would be in charge of creating the titan tears. But now, after finding out about the Dark Battle Arena, he has decided to leave it all to Karim while he explores the battle arena.

Without wasting any time, he took out alchemy equipment that belonged to Karim. Since he was going to 'flee,' why would he leave his equipment behind?

These pieces of equipment were far more precious than the equipment he got from Masha, so Jacob naturally wouldn't abandon them, and they would also make the process easier and faster.

Jacob quickly began to teach Autarch step by step, and Autarch was an extremely fast learner, especially since he already had memories and could emulate them almost perfectly. Although it was a pity that he didn't get Karim's memories, it was enough to refine the titan's tears since the process wasn't too hard.

After half an hour, Jacob collected three drops of inky black liquid into a glass bottle from the furnace.

"Did you get it all?" Jacob inquired.

"Yes."

"Alright, refine a batch for me." Jacob didn't just leave directly and wait for Autarch to show him the exact process.

Autarch controlled Karim and began to refine the titan tears like a robot. The entire process was exactly the same as Jacob's, without missing anything. The crux of the titan tears was to control the flames, and Autarch emulates it perfectly.

Seeing the finished product, Jacob nodded in satisfaction before handing everything to Autarch, and he finally headed towards the Dark Pod.

Jacob opened the large pod and inside was filled with runes. It was completely empty except for some tiny holes in the pod walls. There was nothing there. But he could tell that those runes were of extremely high level even though he couldn't understand them.

Without hesitation, Jacob laid down following the instruction, and just as his body lay bare, the runes on the dark pod lit up, and Jacob felt his star watch vibrate.

The Dark Rose voice rang in his head, "Do you want to start the Dark Pod?"

"Yes." Jacob acknowledged.

The next moment, the dark pod began to close before sealing entirely as the runes on its surface shimmered brightly.

"Dark Pod has been activated!

"Releasing the Virtual Liquid!

"Please note that you can only stay in the Dark Battle Arena for seven days and seven nights before you will have to leave for a 24-hour break! The exit time can be lessened depending on the enumeration of your deaths in the Dark Battle Arena!"

Jacob was surprised by this but didn't say anything since he was new to this.

Suddenly, a milky white liquid shimmering with tiny stars begins to pour out from the tiny holes in the Dark Pod, and it wasn't cold but warm, this was the Virtual Liquid.

The moment the liquid began to fill the pod, Jacob sensed a strange, warm current entering his body, and a sleepy sensation washed over him as he wanted to sleep all of a sudden.

But that sensation was instantly gone as Nyx's playful voice sounded, "Do you really want to be effective with this substance? It might be detrimental to your mind."

Jacob was surprised since he didn't think this liquid could put him to sleep.

But before he could reply, Dark Rose's voice rang.

"Detecting the user's mind defense is above the level of Virtual Liquid!

"Please don't resist if you want to continue!

"Your staying time in the Dark Battle Arena has been readjusted from 7 to 30 days!"

Jacob hesitates for a moment, "Stop blocking it. But if you sense something amiss, I'm giving you permission to wake me."

"Alright." Nyx obeyed Jacob's command, and the same sensation returned before he was completely submerged in the virtual liquid, and his eyes began to close.

But the strange thing was, despite the darkness, he seemed to be wide awake, and at this moment, a dark voice rang again, and an interface appeared before him.

"3-Star Privilege Star ID connected!

"The strength limit of the Dark Battle Arena is Epic-

Tier-9 (Advanced Epic Ran)!

"Detecting Dual Element Magic Core Body (Fire and Magic)

"Your body has been emulated up to 95%; you can readjust it up to 91%!

"Please create your advanced epic rank weapon.

"Please choose a Dark Battle Arena Name."

Jacob was surprised as his own body appeared in the interface, which was exactly the same as his current body. But he can readjust it as he wishes as long as he doesn't change the core of his body.

But he didn't readjust the size since he knew doing it would only harm his own fighting style, so he adjusted the facial features and hair color.

His strength would also be limited to epic-tier-9, which was probably done for fairness. But he was surprised about the Dual Element Magic Core Body detected by the Dark Rose.

This could only mean that the dual cores might not be unique at all. Furthermore, his hex core wasn't detected, or it would be a triple element magic core body, which means it was most likely because Immortika or his hex core was just too rare.

Whichever the case was, he continued since his hex core was special, and not being detected wasn't a bad thing.

Afterward, he created the weapons, which were naturally dual swords, and he had the freedom to design the swords since they would be at advanced epic rank no matter what.

Lastly, he entered his Dark Battle Arena Name. After thinking about it, he didn't enter any of the aliases that he had already used, especially the Faceless Ancient, Jack, and Viper… so he chooses another one, which was also the alias in his previous life when he once entered another fighting area when he was still young and wanted to learn martial arts.

This name also mirrored his ambition and resolve in the past, present, and future.

"Your Dark Battle Arena name has been selected!

"Starting the process of constructing the Virtual Body of the User: Dictator!"
