Chapter 185 Unexpected Danger?

"Alright, I decided!"

After thinking for a bit, Arkhen chose the <Earth Sphere Explosion> skill from the options.

[Congratulations. You have learned an SSS rank skill: Earth Sphere Explosion]

[The skills: Fire Fist: Agnister, Dust Devil, and Plasma Cannon have been removed from the panel. However, you can still use them as you have already mastered the skills].

"Alright!" Arkhen was pumped up after learning the skill as he got all the information regarding the skill in his head.

But he was still curious about one thing and asked, "Now, tell me. What is that Hyper Skill Combine?"

[Hyper Skill Combine… Alright, so you saw the skill combination results, right? You put three S rank skills, which resulted in all combination options of SSS rank skills. Naturally, there were SS rank combinations as well, but I automatically removed them as they were inferior to the SSS rank skills].

[Anyway, the maximum result of the normal skill combination of three S rank skills was four SSS rank skills. The skill pavilion only took into consideration of those S rank skills' original potential and then created the combination results. But if you had used that Hyper Skill Combine, the pavilion would go beyond what those three skills had to offer and include other factors before doing the skill combination].

"Oh? Then it means I could get EX skills from that?"

[You will 100% get an EX rank or higher rank skill from Hyper Skill Combine. If you had put those three S rank skills in orb and used Hyper Skill Combine, it would've resulted in a bunch of EX rank skills. However, I strongly suggest that you only use Hyper Skill Combine on EX or EX+ rank skills to get a Supreme rank or higher rank skill options].

"Supreme rank? Damn… Ok, I will put three EX rank skills," Arkhen said with a grin. "I got one EX rank skill. Now two more to go. It also seems that I only have one chance of Hyper Skill Combine for now. How to get more Hyper Skill Combine?"

[Quests].

"Quests as always, huh?" Arkhen muttered before he shook his head and finally stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

"Doesn't the outside of this pavilion looks like a perfect training ground?" Arkhen said as he looked around the peaceful ground with trees at the borders along with a few decorations and statues.

[Yes. You will gain higher focus if you train here. Since you have yet to complete your Combat Art, you can finish it here].

"Yeah, combat art… Alright, only internal runes are left now. It will only take several hours," Arkhen said as he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

…

Arkhen was indeed progressing fast while here. Instead of the five-six hours that he expected, he finished learning Combat Art in three hours.

The Combat Art's runes were perfectly carved on his body and inside his body! His combat power once again increased a lot because Combat Art is a core battle mechanic in a fight.

[My lord! Quick, go out. There's some trouble in your room! I can sense a presence bearing ill will entering the room through the balcony!]

"What?" Arkhen stood up with a startled expression. "Isn't there any security? What the hell…"

A second later, Arkhen disappeared from the ground of the skill pavilion and appeared in his room.

It's been a bit over six hours since he entered Mystic Wonderland. The sun was halfway in the sky, but Meya was still sleeping covered in a comfy blanket.

'Where?' Arkhen asked. However, after a second, he actually felt a gaze on him, so he quickly acted normally and yawned before stretching his arms.

[That person just arrived and is watching you. That presence has used some kind of power to go into a shadow and is way more powerful than you. It is better that you quickly inform the servants and move the elite guards stationed here].

'But I can't leave Meya here and go inform the servants. I also can't contact Gereld by taking out the comm crystal as it would make whoever that is watching me suspiciously, which may prompt an attack from them.' Arkhen said but he still acted casually and walked towards his bed.

After getting into the bed, Arkhen hugged naked Meya and whispered slowly in her ears. "Don't resist, Meya."

Meya opened her eyes but her face turned instantly red as a unique pleasuring feeling coursed through her. She knew that this would only happen if Arkhen touched her. However, hearing Arkhen's grave tone, she felt that something was off and slowly nodded.

Arkhen added Meya as a member of his Mystic Wonderland before saying, 'Velshi, get us into the castle in Mystic Wonderland.'

After five seconds, both of them disappeared while the shadow outside the balcony suddenly got startled as the detection skill he was using of Sound-attribute told him that both people inside the room disappeared!
