Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 168 Opening The Treasure Chest

Since everyone returned back to the capital at roughly 4 AM of early morning, they slept till noon due to exhaustion from fighting in the labyrinth.

Especially Yeezy and Arkhen. They spent three hours on their passionate wild sex session before Yeezy lost her consciousness in both pleasure and exhaustion.

Arkhen returned to his room at roughly 7 AM and fell asleep. This was his first proper sleep after arriving here.

After sleeping for six hours, he opened his eyes at roughly 1 PM, feeling very refreshed and energized. The food they ate yesterday, coupled with this six hours of sleep made Arkhen feel vigorous in both body and mind.

Azela had also woken up late, but since she couldn't get out without Arkhen's will, she was spending time on the servant floor of the castle with the people there.

Fortunately, there was still enough food for people there to go by for a couple of weeks.

After Arkhen woke up, he first took out Azela from the castle inside Mystic Wonderland.

After some bouts of kisses, Arkhen and Azela went into the balcony garden. Azela sat on the bench as she inhaled the fresh, energizing air and relaxed while Arkhen took out those 800 rainbow high-grade essence stones to absorb their essence and refine his Primal energy pond.

"It looks like the adventure in the labyrinth was fruitful," Azela said with a smile.

"Yep. There's one more thing which I will open soon. It will give some good rewards," Arkhen said with a laugh as he absorbed all essences from the essence stone into his inner space and then started using that essence to refine his Primal energy pond.

"I'll also spin a roulette," Azela said as her lips parted into a smile. "Let's see what I get from it."

…

After eight minutes, Arkhen finished refining his primal energy pond 400 times, increasing his EP by 40,000.

The tough thing about having multiple ponds was that all ponds needed to be on the same level in each class before breaking through to the next class.

For example, Arkhen needed to refine his primal energy pond 100 times to increase his EP by 10,000, which would make his overall EP reach 200,000, the limit of the 1st class.

However, he could not refine his primal energy pond more to go past 200,000 EP until his other ponds also reached the same refinement level.

In short, Arkhen additionally needed 200 Primal essence stones, 1000 Chi essence stones, and 1000 mana essence stones to reach the peak of the 1st class. Only after that could he break through to the 2nd class.

Opening his eyes, Arkhen took out his personal treasure chest and finally opened it.

Azela looked at it while sitting on the bench as she saw the treasure chest turning into motes before producing several items.

- A scroll of SSS-rank skill: Roaring Tiger Cannon.

- Perfect-grade Earth gemstone.

- A chunk of Aestan Silverblue Ore.

- Random Talent Awakening Scripture.

- A scroll of SS-rank combat art: Revolution Vermilion Combat Art.

- 700 rainbow high-grade essence stones.

"Wow… Labyrinths are indeed very fruitful," Azela said with an amazed expression after seeing all items.

"Indeed, hahaha. Now you spin a roulette. Let's see what you get," Arkhen said as he made the roulette visible to Azela.

Azena nodded with excitement bubbling in her eyes. After rubbing her hands for two seconds, she pulled the lever to spin the roulette.

Soon, she pressed the stop button as the roulette slowed down…

[Congratulations! You have gotten 5000 Reality essence]

"Oh?" Arkhen was surprised. Although he couldn't use reality essence now. He knew that he would need as many as possible. Even that emergency quest's reward was only 5000 reality essence.

To awaken his slumbering women, he would need 10,000 reality essence for each of them.

"How is this reward? Is it any good?" Azela said with a rueful smile as she didn't know if this was any good.

"Yep. It's great," Arkhen said with a smile as he nodded before putting away the roulette.

'Velshi, you told me that I will get reality essence by increasing the mastery of the skills, but I didn't get notifications when my mastery of Fire Fist Agnister leveled up twice. From Novice to Adept and then Expert.'

[You didn't get notifications as you were in mid-fight regarding that. However, those reality essence rewards are indeed added. I have just added the bar for reality essence, so you can keep a track of it. Take a look]

Arkhen looked at the status and saw Reality Essence below the Reality Motes tab.

-[Reality Motes: 16,782]

-[Reality Essence: 5350 (D: 200) (M: 150)]

[To keep track, (D:200) means reality essence you got by completing the Daily quest, and (M:150) means reality essence you got by increasing mastery of your skills].

'So, reaching Adept master in Fire Fist Agnister got me 50 RM, and Expert mastery got me 100 RM?'

[Correct. You will get 200 reality essence when you reach the Perfect level of mastery in Fire Fist Agnister. So mastering a single skill to perfect mastery gives you a total of 350 reality essence. However, this also depends on skills. Mastering skills above SSS-rank skill can grant you more reality essence and some random additional reward].

'Gereld got an Ex-rank skill scroll… I also want to become top 10 in a labyrinth and get a Divine-grade chest,' Arkhen said with slight excitement.

[You will definitely get a chance to get that. Moreover, higher-tier labyrinths give better rewards. There's a much deeper layer regarding skills and powers that you have yet to see].

'I know. I will see that when I awaken my soul and make a connection with a Star of Endowment and get stronger and stronger!'

'Also, since I'll reach 200,000 EP soon after refining my primal pond to the limit, can I fight against the first Guardian boss in the mystical realm?'

[Not yet, my lord. Please complete the main quest before that. Also, the egg will hatch anywhere within the next 12 to 14 hours].

"Arkhen, I am not feeling that good outside," Azela said with a wry smile. "And it's likely related to that person who is after me."

"I'm aware," Arkhen said with a nod, a cold glint flicking in his eyes. "That wench will arrive here after roughly three days. Until then, I will get even more powerful and then finish the task along with freeing you from her grasp."

"Anyway, do you want to stay inside the castle in Mystic Wonderland if you are not feeling good here?" Arkhen asked.

"Yeah. I also helped those people on the servant floor and arranged things in the castle. We made a beautiful garden, and next, we plan to create small farms on the empty 12th floor of the castle to grow various things from this 1st realm.

"Doing this is keeping me busy. If I stay outside, I really get uncomfortable with weakness and get the urge to start training and meditation to make a connection with a Star of Endowment," Azela said with a wry smile.

Since Azela and Arkhen knew the truth behind that urge, Azela was resisting it. Normal people wouldn't even get that urge because it was a common thought in them to get powerful. But since Azela was resisting it, she was feeling that urge due to the blessing caused by that wench.
