Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality-Chapter 336 Netherwind Darkness
"Where did they go?!"
"W-We don't know. We left from that place first."
Two men in fully covered black garbs had caught a few newbies who were in the Arena grounds and questioned them about people who killed their prince.
"Even if you don't know where they left, you should have remembered their faces, right?"
"Yes, Yes… I remember."
"Describe them and draw a picture! Quick!"
"But y-you will spare us if we do that, right?"
*smack!*
"That depends on your pictures. Now, draw it!"
…
Arkhen and the girls were slowly progressing in their 2nd Ring stage while Yosin, Sherly, Tiffani, and Gerald constantly battled to saturate their Rings to break through to the 2nd Ring stage.
"To reach the 3rd Ring stage, we need to have a single level 3 affinity. This will be hard, but there are elemental crystals in the deeper level of forests. So let's go there," Sierra said.
"Elemental Crystals are good and all, but it will still take time," Tharin interjected. "I have reached the 3rd Ring stage, so allow me to say something if you don't mind."
"Speak," Arkhen nodded. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
"When you get an elemental crystal of any element, you can infuse soul energy in them to absorb the elemental knowledge and then comprehend it in meditation. This is what everyone does, but you shouldn't do that."
"Is there a better way?" Meya asked while raising her eyebrows. "You better not try to play any tricks."
Tharin wryly smiled and said, "Of course not, young lady. Normally, newbies need to use elemental crystals as soon as possible because making progress in their affinity makes them stronger, which means better chances of survival. But your group is already strong. You don't need to use elemental crystals as soon as you get them."
Tharin paused there and took out a small blue bead with eccentric cracky patterns, "Instead of using them as soon as you get them, you should collect ten elemental crystals of the same affinity so you can combine them into an Elemental Bead like this."
Arkhen narrowed his eyes as he got information about the bead.
——
[Lightning Elemental Bead]
-Effect: If one can completely comprehend all knowledge in the bead, they can make 100% progress in their level 2 affinity.
——
"It can help one reach 100% progress in their level 2 affinity! That's big," Arkhen said in surprise.
"100%? Haha, no way," Tharin laughed while shaking his head. "No one can do that. Reaching 100% progress in level 2 affinity with just one elemental bead means that your comprehension power is off the charts, allowing you to comprehend all elemental knowledge of the bead. But that's just impossible."
"At least, I've never heard or seen anyone doing that," Tharin said.
'Velshi, is it easier to comprehend affinity using the beads, or should we use the Elemental Ruins.'
[Elemental Ruins. They are way better than the beads. One Supreme Boost will ensure that one of your affinity reaches at least 50% progress towards level 3.]
"Girls, forget about these beads, and let's focus on killing beasts," Arkhen said before stretching his hand toward Tharin.
"What?" Tharin questioned as he felt some forbearing.
"Give me that bead," Arkhen raised his eyebrows.
"What?! No," Tharin quickly put the bead back into his storage ring and shook his head quickly! 'This is not just any bead, damn.'
"Fine. Then start working," Arkhen said and also commanded Kolak.
"You two beat beasts to half-death and bring them to the girls. They will deal the killing blow," Arkhen said before turning to the girls. "You can also kill the beasts or anyone that troubles you."
"Are we collecting Reality Motes?" Isabella asked with a frown. "But, Elemental Ruins requires Reality Essence."
'What are they talking about?' Tharin was confused but didn't dare to ask.
"What are you still here for?" Arkhen glanced at Tharin and said, "Go."
Tharin quickly left while sighing.
Afterward, Arkhen answered Isabella with a grin, "We need Reality Essence, but now I can convert Reality Motes into Reality Essence."
This was one of the new functions after the Reality System reached level 3.
The conversion rate was 1000 Reality Motes into 100 Reality Essence.
Killing a 1st ring beast granted 400-500 reality motes, and killing a 2nd ring beast granted 900-1000 reality motes.
"That conversation rate is not bad," Sasha nodded with a smile. "Alright, let's do it."
"I'll go and power up myself. If you are in trouble, then our Telepathy Network is already open," Arkhen said before faint white sparks started appearing around him.
The girls knew Arkhen was going to Mystic Wonderland after seeing those sparks.
"Have fun, darling," Meya said while grinning as she waved her hand.
…
"Alright, the first thing is to spin roulette. It's been a long time since I spun them," Arkhen said as he smiled.
[Indeed, since you just ascended, you will get some good things from roulette.]
The roulette board appeared in front of Arkhen, and without wasting a second, he spun it.
He had 13 spins at the moment, and he planned to use five.
[Congratulations- You have gotten a Mythic-grade Bloodline orb.]
"Woah, a Mythic-grade bloodline right off the bat?" Arkhen was startled before he quickly checked it.
[Nefarious Waters Bloodline]
-Grade: Mythic.
-Affinity: Dark, Water.
-A bloodline source born out from the deepest depths of Dark Nefarious Seas. It contains various changes of nefarious waters in which ancient beasts of old times imprinted their powers.
"This will be suitable for Sierra," Arkhen said with a nod since Sierra had both Dark and Water affinities.
[Yes.]
"Alright, time for another spin."
[Congratulations, you have gained 10,000 Reality Motes.]
Arkhen continued.
[Congratulations, you have gained a random Supreme rank skill scroll.]
Arkhen opens the scroll. It was blank at first, but then texts, symbols, and intent started to appear for one to learn the skill.
[Netherwind Darkness]
[-Affinity: Wind, Dark]
[-Rank: Supreme]
[-Stage: 5th Ring]
[-Cost: 500,000 any energy]
[-Effect: Creates a flat curtain of darkness with fierce nether winds in a large area for devastating damage. Additionally, it reduces all senses of targets caught within the raging darkness and grants 50% increased speed to oneself inside.]
Arkhen learned the skill without hesitation and even executed it in the sky over Skill Pavilion.
A tiny dot appeared before it quickly expanded into a five-hundred-meter darkness zone filled with fierce winds!
"Nice."
