Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 285 Trouble And Mayhem

"Arkhen, those three pills struck by seve-

*Crackle…boom!*

Eight lightning strikes the three pills as they now had golden-red patterns over them!

Those pills were 800% times more effective!

Everyone looked up after that eight lightning strike and sighed in relief after seeing that those dark clouds had finally started dispersing.

"So? What's the matter?" Arkhen questioned with confusion.

"Arkhen, those three pills struck by eight lightning bolts are boosted by 800%, making it 900% of its original effect."

"Yeah, so what?"

"To put it simply, we are in trouble. Many forces must have sensed the potent power of these three pills by now. Among them, there is a hidden force with extremely ruthless people."

"Name of the hidden force?" Arkhen asked curiously.

"We don't know. But many years ago, they appeared when six lightning bolts struck a class-10 pill in Nightimber Empire."

"They came to take the pill and killed thousands of people in the process. They all had a similar type of weird power beyond average powerhouses."

"Along with that hidden force, other forces like clans, organizations, and such also arrived to fish in troubled waters."

"In the end, that empire's capital was destroyed in just one day, all of their important powerhouses were killed, and that hidden force took the pills."

Arkhen was surprised to hear about such events. But when he thought about his pill's effect at 900% effectiveness, he could only wryly smile.

Belruga Flame Burst Pill:

- Eating this pill can give one a short burst of comprehension to make progress in fire affinity and also increase fire damage by 50% for 1 hour.

Perfect-grade Belruga Flame Burst pill increases fire damage by 100%.

Now imagine the above effect boosted by 800%.

Fire damage increased by 800%… It was absurd!

If he ate that pill and dropped Infernal Star-Fall… Arkhen shook his head as he could imagine a scenery of utter destruction.

If a peak powerhouse got those three pills… A single person could bring vast destruction to any force with a single area damage skill like Infernal Star-Fall!

"It seems that you understand. We are currently outside of the Empire's capital, but not that far. So we have to leave this place quickly before that hidden force and other forces come here."

After saying that, the middle-aged man forcefully triggered the token teleportation of the participants inside the Alchemy Dimension.

"You all, quickly use your token again and teleport back to the Royal Academy," the white-bearded middle-aged man said to other participants.

"What happened?"

"Is the competition being canceled?"

*Clap!*

A loud clap reverberated, drawing everyone's voice as the middle-aged man shouted, "Leave now! You will get an explanation later!"

The participants started leaving quickly as they felt the direness of the situation seeing the expressions of those alchemy heads.

"Arkhen, I will stay here," Sasha said as she flew beside Arkhen.

"Sasha, it's not time to make foolish decisions. Quickly return," a lady with short silver hair and a shapely body said with a stern expression. She was one of the alchemy heads.

"Go back; I'll be fine," Arkhen said with a grin. "I am actually excited about this situation. It feels like I can loose myself and wreak havoc."

'And farm reality points.'

[Indeed, my lord. But it will be challenging due to that hidden force]

Sasha wryly smiled while others shook their heads.

"Fine. But you better return safe and down," Sasha said before she used the token and disappeared.

"You all return too. I'll be fine here," Arkhen said as he cracked his knuckles. "I can't return to the Empire anyway. If I go there, the forces will come there."

"Yes. The best choice is to leave the pills here and return with us," the middle-aged man said with a somber expression. "You don't need to court death. These pills are not worth your life."

"Heh, I am not giving up on something that's mine," Arkhen grinned tyrannically as a glint passed through his eyes. "You all go back. I want to see who dares to snatch these pills from me."

Before they could say anything to convince Arkhen, the white-bearded middle-aged man got a contact from his comm crystal.

After roughly twenty seconds, the middle-aged man put away the comm crystal and said to Arkhen, "Emperor has already announced that the pills are left in this location, and anyone who wants it can come here."

"Since our Empire is near and it was already known that we have an alchemy competition being held, that hidden force and other forces might directly arrive there; that's why Emperor already announced about the pill to prevent any trouble to the Empire."

"I understand, and I don't mind. But I am not leaving, and these pills are also not leaving," Arkhen said as he took the three pills and put them inside his inventory.

"So be it, Arkhen. But please, do not come to Empire with those pills. Such a potent aura of those pills can be sensed easily with many means."

"Even if you hide the aura and run, those people will most definitely come to the Frezya Empire. We want to avoid that, so please… come empty-handed or don't come back."

"There's also a third option. I am sure you all be able to witness it soon since there are still mirage crystals here that are sending a live feed to those screens," Arkhen said with a grin as he donned his Archion Draconic Armour.

His right hand also turned into a katar-shaped blade, which was the Sarangan Dragon Blade.

"Fine. All the best, Arkhen. Still, it's our sincere advice that you give up on those pills when your life is in danger."

"Yes. Even if you eat one pill and attack, you won't last long against many people. Moreover, you should know that you can't eat more than one class-10 pill within a short period of time."

Those alchemy heads also left after saying their final piece of advice.

[My lord. The hidden force they are talking about is most probably Myriad Mayhem of the 1st realm]

'If I had learned my Combat Art and Mortal Chaos field technique, the upcoming chaos would be more fun.'

[I can let you learn Combat Art in an instant, skipping the several days' process of carving runes and patterns and learning the art].

'How many reality motes?'

[Not motes, but essence. Fundamental powering up related to your body will always cost more. To instantly learn combat art, you need to spend 1000 reality essence].

'Fine, do it.'

The moment Arkhen finished peaking, his heart stopped beating for a second, and he felt immense pressure from within his own body.

1000 reality essence consumed, and he finally learned his powerful combat art!

Eminence of Fiery Dance!

[ Eminence of Fiery Dance ]

[-Type: Combat Art]

[-Rank: Supreme]

[-Cost: 300,000 chi energy per minute]

[-Passive Effect: Increase your EP by 20%, Agility by 20%, Constitution by 20%, and give your soul attacks a fiery aura that will burn the target's soul to inflict pain and additional damage if you attack with your offensive-type soul abilities]

[-Activation Effect: Creates a fiery field with ten chaotic pathways in a one-kilometer diameter of yourself as the center and don yourself in an exquisite Exo skeleton made of fiery flames]

—> While activated, your speed increases immensely on the pathways, and upon completing traveling one pathway in the fiery field, you gain a Flame Burst stack that increases your fire damage by 10% and increases EP by 5%.

Arkhen eyes glinted with fiery amber sparks as a wide grin formed on his face.

Power!

He was feeling absolute power in his grasp, a feeling of being supremely powerful permeated his whole body!

As he released his breath after inhaling, a powerful heat left his mouth along with a faint orange spark, creating the atmosphere around him several times hotter!

Of course, that was only a temporary effect since just finished instantly learning the combat art.

Afterward, Arkhen waited for people to come as he floated in the air in a cross-legged position.

Several minutes later, he sensed the presence of people rushing in his direction and soon saw several flying ships and people flying toward him.

"Nice," Arkhen faintly smiled while excitement danced in his eyes.

He waited for people to arrive because he didn't scare them by attacking first, thereby reducing the income of his reality motes.

Soon, all those people approached Arkhen and floated ten meters away from him while those flying ships floated further away, but people from those ships also came out and approached Arkhen.

"Where are the pills?"

One of them shouted towards Arkhen.

Although he asked that, everyone knew that those pills were in Arkhen's possession because of the intense aura of the pill lingering on him.

They also clearly sensed that the pill's aura didn't leave this area.

Arkhen didn't answer and just grinned as he waved his hand and created a giant force field square spanning ten square kilometers.

Everyone was surprised to see a square force field suddenly trapping them, but none were worried.

They were over five hundred people! If all of them released their single powerful skill once, they could break the force field.

Alas…

The heat in the atmosphere spontaneously increased before a burst of fire covered Arkhen, donning him in a hot Exo skeleton!

A dashing fantastic flaming robe with dark orange, red, and light orange patterns, a pair of flame wings over his bloodline wings, the storm wings that he just activated, and a majestic flame crown above his head!

A second later, a palm-sized orb of flame with an eccentric pattern shot out from Arkhen's body and flew up at the ceiling of the force field before busting into ten lines that chaotically covered one-kilometer diameter in front of Arken, almost covering all of the powerhouses!

"Hell is calling you," Arkhen devilishly grinned.
