Chapter 339 3rd Ring
Chapter 339 3rd Ring
Heaven's Call Mountain Resort, private area 4…
The old man who had cursed Arkhen was leisurely eating fruits in peace as he sat on a chair.
A beautiful woman wearing a two-piece bikini with no powers or anything was massaging his back and shoulders with a pair of magical gloves that aided in massage.
But then, the old man sensed something and opened his eyes, only to see a portal manifesting two meters away from him.
From the portal, he saw someone familiar coming out, but he couldn't remember that face properly.
The old man felt he had seen him somewhere, but Arkhen had changed a few times since he left Earth.
His body size and shape were still the same, lean muscled physique and 6.5 ft height. But his current hair was black with strands of crimson red, and his eyes were black, and a faint dreamy green left and red right.
"It seems that you didn't recognize me," Arkhen said as he walked out of the portal.
A chair appeared in the front by spending a reality mote as Arkhen sat down face to face with the old man and grinned.
"Who are you?" The old man asked with a frown. "This is a private area. You can't come here."
'Hmm, it will be troublesome if I stay here longer and he calls for help,' Arkhen thought before he decided on his next course of action.
Since Arkhen hid his killing intent and approached peacefully, the old man was not feeling any danger from Arkhen.
"Well, I'll let you remember later. For now…" Arkhen's eyes glinted as he consumed his soul energy and used Vanquish force to directly attack the old man's soul.
The old man's eyes turned wide as he felt immense pain for a second before losing consciousness.
Afterward, Arkhen conjured a slaughter blade and cut him into two before forcefully capturing his soul through Velshi and putting it inside Mystic Wonderland.
"Daddy!" The woman shouted in horror as she saw the old man getting killed.
"Hmm? Was he your father?" Arkhen asked in doubt as he looked at the sexy woman wearing a two-piece bikini.
"Ah, n-no," the woman quickly shook her head before saying tremblingly, "I don't know his n-name. He told me to call him d-daddy."
Arkhen was speechless and shook his head before he turned around and entered the portal.
"Done?" James asked as he saw Arkhen coming out.
"Yep," Arkhen nodded.
James was just about the close the portal when he sensed something had stopped.
The long brown-haired woman wearing a bikini also came out of the portal with fear on her face. She looked at Arkhen and James before saying anxiously, "I-I can't stay here since you killed that person. Mortals like me are killed on a whim by powerful people. I am afraid of being k-killed by a relative of that person just because I was there."
She spoke that in one go and got short of breath as her chest started heaving up and down. She was truly scared.
"Hmm, then work as a maid for me. You will live without any trouble," Arkhen said before he told Velshi to put the woman in Mystic Wonderland.
Some white motes appeared around the woman, making her startled.
"What's your name?" Arkhen asked.
"Rizil," the woman replied.
"Have fun," Arkhen said with a grin as the woman disappeared.
'Velshi. Take that woman to Lena. Rizil will be her assistant from now on.'
[Understood.]
'Also, make that old man remember about me and then put him on the same torture as those four are going through,' Arkhen said.
[On it.]
"I am going now, and I won't appear for things like this very often," James said as he rolled his eyes before disappearing in a slight flash of white that appeared briefly.
Afterward, Arkhen thought of his next course of action and decided to quickly reach 3rd Ring power.
'Velshi, convert 100,000 reality motes into 10,000 reality essence and buy a Supreme Boost for Elemental Ruins.'
He had 427k reality motes, but after spending 100k, he was left with 327k reality motes.
Arkhen wasn't short of 10,000 reality essence as he actually had 16,389 reality essence. But he still converted 100k reality motes into essence.
[Which Elemental ruin, my lord?]
'I'll be gone for twenty-four hours after entering a ruin, so when everyone comes out of the Dream Fragment, tell them to be careful in the forest and stay in a single group so I can have Kolak look out for them.'
[Understood.]
'As for the elemental ruin, I'll go in Fire Elemental Ruin since I want a level 3 affinity as soon as possible.'
[Got it. Also, the special skill combination of your three SSS rank skills will be finished after roughly twelve hours. Do you want me to add supplementary skill information to make the result even greater?]
'Supplementary skill?'
[Yes. There's a skill in store. It costs 120k reality motes, but it's worth it. The final result will be above the Supreme rank.]
'Interesting…but the cost is high,' Arkhen fell into thought, but after thinking for a bit, he agreed. 'Do it.'
He could earn reality motes faster in this 2nd realm, so there was no problem spending 120k for a powerful skill.
Afterward, Arkhen went to Fire Elemental Ruin to make his Fire affinity reach level 3.
…
"Let's take a break for a while. We killed enough beasts," Sierra said with a wry smile before she and others returned back to Mystic Wonderland.
They've constantly been fighting even after coming out of Dream Fragment and gathered 89k reality motes.
[Go and rest in the castle. The rooms there are good and enough for everyone.]
Velshi teleported everyone inside the castle.
Arkhen's harem stayed in the 10th-floor bedroom.
Yosin and Sherly shared a room, while Gerald and Tiffani were sent to separate rooms.
After sleeping for five hours, they woke up and went directly to the Dream Fragment since the next day arrived.
Right after they went inside the Dream fragment, Arkhen came out of the Fire Elemental Ruin, successfully at 3rd Ring power!
"Damn… so we can even do that?" Arkhen mumbled with an exciting glint in his eyes.
[Indeed. Two affinities at level 3 can combine their elemental power to create a combined element. This is the requirement to reach the 4th Ring, and also why 4th Ring powerhouses are significantly more powerful.]
