Chapter 292 Unexpected Development

Another day passed, but that entire day was spent in Arkhen's bedroom.

Sasha, Meya, Sierra, and Luna were sleeping naked with Arkhen when he suddenly heard the alarming voice of Velshi in his head.

[My lord! Quickly wake up. Trouble has appeared].



Arkhen appeared on the ship's deck and saw Tiffani, Sherly, and Yosin looking ahead with frowns and slight fear.

Only a slight fear because there was someone with them. Someone who gave them immense confidence and a sense of safety.

"Arkhen! You are here, phew… Are those guys the same as those ten? From that hidden force called Myriad Mayhem?" Tiffani asked.

"Yep," Arkhen nodded as he looked at twenty-two hooded figures blocking their way while doing something as a powerful aura was exuding from them. The intensity of their aura was increasing each second.

Behind them was a giant black ship with two people at the front.

Those two people held a strange thing with their hands. It was a 3 meters long mirror with dark red and dark gold cracks, shining ever so slightly while exuding tiny sparks.

"Arkhen! Come out and die!"

Arkhen flew out of the ship and faced twenty people at the front.

[My lord, I am uncertain about this battle, I have no data on that thing held by those two people at the back].

'Use reality motes and find out.'

[That's the problem. I can't find out even if I spend reality motes. The system's current level is not enough to get the details on that thing].

"Harbinger of Blazing Destruction, huh? Come on, bring that out!"

'These idiots don't know that I have a White Nightmare Flame and another EX+ rank skill,' Arkhen thought as a smirk appeared on his face.

Since Arkhen's Fire and Vanquish affinity had the highest progress, he created Fire and Vanquish attributed skill in his super enlightenment state.

[Genesis Flare]

[-Affinity: Fire, Vanquish]

[-Class: 10th class]

[-Rank: EX+]

[-Cost: 10,000,000 Chi or Primal energy & 100 soul energy]

[-Effect: Attach a genesis flare to any medium before unleashing the medium for an utterly devastating attack in either narrowed form or area wide form]

"I'll not waste my time with you lots this time," Arkhen scoffed before he consumed 25% of his soul energy to use Melfarious Shrine Tree: Jiragen and activated Overlord Shrine.

Right after that, he used Genesis Flare as a meter-long and ten-centimeter-wide white-bluish flare appeared.

48,930 OP!

Sensing the power of that flare, those twenty people didn't flinch. But the power started surging out from them.

"Move according to the plan. Once he unleashes the attack, tell those two to activate the relic."

"Don't hold back in defending his attack."

On the other hand, Arkhen consumed the rest of his soul energy to produce Vanquish force to boost the Genesis Flare further.

73,940 OP!

Consuming all of his soul energy produced a lot of Order force, and using that, he created Order of Extreme Compression and Order of Anti-Resistance before imbuing both orders into a Slaughter Blade.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

He started compressing thousands of slaughter blades into that single slaughter blade as he did once inside a corrupted dungeon.

"Why is he making another attack?"

"Should we attack him while he is preparing?"

"Don't waste needless energy and mental force. The relic will affect us if we let out our energy."

"We also can't disrupt our current preparation of defense."

"Yeah. Let him shoot his attack."

Five seconds later, Arkhen imbued so much energy that he was feeling slightly exhausted.

But after he reached his limit on that, he finally attached the Genesis Flare to the empowered spear-shaped Slaughter Blade!

123,985 OP!

"W-What the fuck?! He managed to combine those two?!"

"We are dead! Q-Quick, activate the relic! Since his powers are already out, the relic will surely hit him!"

Arkhen grinned, and without wasting any time, he threw the spear toward them!

*Zooooooom!!!!*

Those two people at the back also activated the relic as it glowed with dark gold and dark red hue before shooting a mysterious thin beam made of dark gold and dark red motes towards the incoming attack of Arkhen!

Its speed was so fast that it hit the spear in a second!

But… it passed through the spear before directly arriving in front of Arkhen.

'W-What?!' Arkhen could only think in shock while Velshi's shout also entered his ears!

Alas, he could not do anything at all as the mysterious beam made of motes hit him on his chest.

*Crack!*

Instantly, Arkhen was covered in a black square barrier while dark red and dark gold cracks appeared behind him, literally cracking space so easily as a portal formed in that cracked space that sucked Arkhen inside!

"What the fuck?!"

Only Arkhen's cursed words reverberated while he entirely disappeared.

However, what awaited those 22 people was also nothing but despair!

They erected their barrier, and the spear also hit it. But after blocking it for a brief moment, every single one of them felt shocked.

Their faces turned white while their eyes turned blank as an intense force assaulted every single one of their souls before instantly….obliterating their souls!

Death!

Yosin, Tiffani, and Sherly rubbed their eyes to see if they were not dreaming.

But they were not dreaming!

They saw those twenty-two people falling from the sky while not a trace of Arkhen remained.

"What the fuck happened?" Yosin muttered with a confused and flabbergasted expression.

"Don't tell me Arkhen died?" Tiffani was in disbelief.

"He was sent into that portal inside space crack… But that single attack of his also killed those people," Sherly said.

After not being able to find answers, they quickly landed on the ship where those twenty-two people had fallen.

"They are dead. Their bodies still have vitality, but they are utterly devoid of any soul presence," Yosin said as he checked one of the guys.

"What should we do now?" Sherly asked as she furrowed her brows.

"First, let's loot their bodies. Get their storage rings or anything you find. As for the most important thing…." Tiffany said as her gaze went towards the mirror. "We'll take the mirror back to the Empire."



"Where am I?!" Arkhen was still trapped inside the square box and couldn't get out. He also couldn't see anything past that black square box.

However, he soon got a notification…

[Main Quest completed]

[Congratulations! You have gained Desperado Mark in your soul, and the Ancient secret of the world of Nine Realms is etched into a scroll that is sent to your inventory]

'How did I complete it? Could it be because I killed leaders of all 32 forces affiliated with Myriad Mayhem?'

[Indeed. However, the situation at hand is anything but favorable. I am afraid that we are in big trouble, my lord]
