Chapter 312 BOOK!

Some small towns and hubs that were independent would be terrorized by random gangs every now until some passer-by powerhouse wipes them out.

This cycle would continue.

In this Karanow Town, which was just like a starting area after leaving Ascension Mountain, this Thunder Beast gang and another gang named Black Lightning were ruling.

Since the progression in the 2nd realm didn't solely depend on the resources but also on comprehension, it was both fast and slow, depending on people.

Alas, the five people of the Thunder Beast gang were 2nd ring power, just like Sierra, Meya, Luna, Sasha, Isabella, Zoe, and Evelyn.

Moreover, they were overall weaker because their physiques were weaker than those of girls!

*Boom!*

*Slap!*

*Crack!*

*Phof!*

…

In just five minutes, all five people of the Thunder Beast gang were lying outside on the road with their arms and legs broken.

All five of them were screaming like pigs and crying because of pain.

But one of them suddenly snapped and shouted, "You bitches! Just wait for our boss. He will-"

Meya shut his mouth by kicking him in the face. "Sister Sasha, burn their clothes with your flames."

"Good idea," Sasha grinned as she waved her and burned their clothes. Her flame was not like the usual flame, but it was a dark blue flame!

Since her Fire affinity reached level 2, she also gained a unique flame.

"Arghhh! Fuck, Fuck! Just wait for the revenge! Our boss will tear you apart!"

"Girls, we shouldn't stay in this town anymore," Isabella said with a wry smile. "If they have confidence in their boss after seeing our power, then he is like a 3rd Ring stage powerhouse."

"Yeah, the gap between each Ring stage is massive in the 2nd realm. One can contend against a higher ring power, but it's only possible for people who have power in each aspect,"

Sasha said with a nod and continued, "None of you have a powerful bloodline, which is one of the power sources to increase overall power. I have a bloodline, but it's not that strong since it's impure."

"So, we won't be able to fight against a 3rd Ring powerhouse even if we outnumber him?" Luna asked as she creased her brows.

"Yep," Meya and Sasha both nodded.

"Then let's get out, quick. We don't want to land in trouble. Our goal is to get strong and save Arkhen. None of us must die," Sierra said with a determined expression.

"Hahahaha. As expected of my girls."

Suddenly, they heard Arkhen's voice from above and raised their heads.

"A-Arkhen?!"

"Brother Arkhen!"

"Arkhen!"

Everyone was shocked.

Five minutes ago…

…

At the top of the ascension mountain, Gerald, Tiffani, Sherly, and Yosin were waiting for Arkhen.

"I thought he would be the first one to arrive here," Yosin said with a wry smile.

"Yeah, I wonder why it's taking him so long. People usually finish acquiring innate physique in sixteen hours, and those who already have innate physique barely take twelve hours of time," Sherly said.

"But it's almost a day since we arrived here," Tiffani said before entering a thoughtful state. "Maybe, he is also doing something special here?"

"Like what? Getting double the pool's worth of power? That's not possible since one can only enter into a single Myriad Manifestation pool in their life. Even if they dive in another pool, they won't get any power," Gerald said while shaking his head.

"Haha, sorry for the wait."

They heard Arkhen's voice and saw him flying towards them.

"What took you so long?" Yosin asked in curiosity. He wanted to know if Arkhen got some additional boon or not.

"Nothing. I just got an epiphany and progressed in my Order Affinity," Arkhen said with a smile as he rubbed his nose. "Anyway, let's go now. I want to meet with my girls."

"But how? What is your teleportation method?" Sherly asked.

"Just stand still and don't use any kind of energy," Arkhen said before he willed them to enter Mystic Wonderland.

"Woah, what is this?" Tiffani asked in surprise as she saw silver-white sparks appearing around them.

"Teleport," Arkhen said with a grin.

In five seconds, all five of them disappeared and entered inside Mystic Wonderland!

"W-What is this place?" Gerald questioned in shock. The atmosphere here was so comfortable!

"Is this your so-called mini-world? It's beautiful," Sherly said as she saw the aesthetically structured Skill Pavilion and Alchemy Pavilion.

"Yep, it's my mini-world."

*Boom!*

"A-Arkhen, I am going to stay here and practice martial arts for a while. I think I suddenly got an epiphany of a powerful skill," Yosin said as he started swinging his left fist and sword in the air.

*Swing!*

"Fine, I am going out to meet my girls. It seems that they beat up some people, hahaha."

Arkhen laughed and left.

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

"Wait! How do we leave?" Gerald shouted, but by that time, Arkhen had disappeared.

[ You can leave by thinking about it. ]

"Who?!"

Gerald, Sherry, and Tiffani were startled to hear a female voice out of nowhere and soon found a cute ball with big eyes and wings.

"Are you the spirit of this mini-world? Strange-looking but cute," Tiffani said with a smile.

[Yes. You can say that I am a spirit of this world]- Velshi nodded her head.

"Sherly, can you accompany me to the practice?! I really want to create this skill," Yosin shouted while swinging his sword.

…

Outside, Arkhen met with his wives. All of them rushed toward him before hugging him.

"How did you leave that place?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

"But we're really glad that you are back, hahaha."

Alas, their reunion was cut short by a powerful burst of energy that shot toward them!

"HAAAA!"

Everyone quickly used energy and erected barriers. Each of them had one or two rings on their fingers, and they shone as they used their energies.

Those rings are the same ethereal ring they were formed from their ponds!

Zoe used her unique shadow element called Turbus Shadow and created a shadow barrier as her Shadow Affinity reached level 2.

Sierra used her unique elements called Rumbling Darkness and Deep Abyss Water and erected barriers of their powers as both her Dark and Water affinity were level 2.

Evelyn had an Ethereal Affinity called Scope and a normal affinity of Earth. Her unique Earth element was Dural Earth. So, she created a tough barrier of Dural Earth that was less brown and more grey.

Sasha used her fire element, Farfail Dusk Flame, and created a barrier to it.

Luna used her unique lightning element, Overlord Lightning, and created a barrier to it. She also had a level 2 Ethereal Element called Charm.

Meya also used her level 2 light affinity unique element called August Light and Sprout Wood element of her level wood affinity as she created two barriers of light and wood powers.

Finally, Isabella also had a lightning affinity, but her lightning was called Cure Burst Lightning, and another of her affinity was Mist. Mist affinity was also level 2, and her unique Mist element was Peeling Mist. So, two more unique barriers appeared.

With the combination of so many barriers, that sneak attack of pure destruction was blocked at the last barrier of Mist!

"Damn, is that the so-called boss?" Arkhen said as he flew out of the gathering of his girls.

"Wait, Arkhen!"

Sierra shouted because Arkhen hadn't even reached 1st Ring power!

"Just watch, girl," Arkhen said with a grin as he took out something from his inner space.

[It's finally time to open it, my lord]

"Brat! You all dared to humiliate and beat my men to such an extent… Hehe, I'll have you pay ten folds for that," a slim man with long dark blond hair stood ten meters away in the road with ten more people behind him.

"Really? Hahaha. For now, just try to hold on to your piss," Arkhen said with a laugh before he opened the book that he had taken out.

The Book of Exotic Demons!

"You!" The leader of the Thunder Beast gang was angered at Arkhen's words. His face turned red.

Pointing his hand at Arkhen, he gathered his energy, "Die, bastard!

"As for those women, I have a different use for them, hehehe."

"Girls, stand behind me," Arkhen said as he opened the first page. "And don't worry about anything."

"Die!" The leader of the Thunder Beast gang unleashed a red orb with a black border toward Arkhen.

That red orb with a black border was more powerful than Arkhen's strongest attack by far!

Alas, Arkhen had just finished opening the 3rd thick page of the book.

Instantly, the sky turned dark, and the atmosphere changed!

Lightning clouds and seas of flames appeared in the sky like some mysterious phenomenon as all kinds of powers nulled!

"Finally, it is my turn~"

A beautiful and alluring voice rang out before a figure started manifesting in front of Arkhen, seemingly coming out of the page that had a heavenly figure of a demonic beauty drawn on it.
