Looking at the massacre on the screens, everyone shuddered.


    People were killed like pests, painting the sky bloody!


    Those ten people of Myriad Mayhem looked at the ughter after turning around with somber expressions.


    "Should we call an officer-rank member from the 2nd realm?"


    "Shut up! We can handle him ourselves," the woman with crimson hair shouted as the symbol on her forehead shined. "Combine our attacks!"


    Arkhen killed thousands in just several seconds as a vast patch of the sky became empty after his Tempest Zone disappeared.


    Looking at his reality motes, Arkhen wanted tough out loud.


    489,841 reality motes!


    After that massacre, the rest of the people who were far away ran away by literally burning their blood essence and soul energy to increase their speed.


    They were terrified to their core!


    Arkhen didn''t chase them and turned to those ten people as he sensed a palpitating aura forming around them.


    A ck gaseous head with two glowing red eyes and a mouth with sharp teeth formed behind them.


    Soon, another head formed beside. It was a white-golden gaseous head with two glowing deep blue eyes and a mouth with golden teeth.


    Arkhen measured that attack power and was surprised.


    19,494


    21,330


    24,494


    26,905


    28,490


    30,494


    …


    After those two heads fully formed, Arkhen saw the number stopping at 34,000 OP!


    ''I won''t be able to dodge this, I guess,'' Arkhen thought before he smiled. ''Well, I don''t need to.''


    "Humph! Let''s see how you defend yourself from this attack," the woman shouted. But she and others looked weary after preparing those two heads.


    "Shoot," Arkhen said with a grin as he gestured with his right hand.


    Both faces opened their mouths before unleashing two thick spiralingsers!


    One was ck with golden rings around it, while the other one was golden with ck rings surrounding it.


    Their speed was super fast as bothsers crossed the distance of 500 meters in just two seconds and arrived in front of Arkhen.


    s, something strange happened when bothsers were ten meters away from Arkhen.


    The atmosphere and space became unstable in front of Arkhen as the Oblivion Shrine of Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen appeared!


    Oblivion Shrine: Conjures a Shrine of Oblivion that erases all iing attacks within the next three seconds that enters twenty meters radius around you. (It will erase all attacks as long as they are no more than 250% of your EP. If the attack is higher, then it will try to block but won''t be able to erase)


    Obviously, only Oblivion Shrine was not enough to block that attack.


    But Arkhen had unleashed Vanquish force by consuming all of his soul energy in front of him!


    Vanquish force had the property of decreasing the potency of iing attacks!


    After those bothsers passed through that field of Vanquish Force, their power dropped to 24,360 OP!


    Moreover, he also used half of the total order force he gained by consuming his soul energy to create the Order of Transfer and imbued that order effect on Oblivion Shrine!


    As such, when bothsers hit the space curtain created by Overlord Shrine, the power of thesers was transferred into a sphere created by Arkhen.


    Arkhen had created that sphere using chi energy and fortified it by creating an Order of Fortification with the remaining of his order force.


    As such, the Oblivion Shrine transferred the energy of those twosers into the sphere instead of erasing, which was its normal effect!


    Seeing the mind-bending scene in front of them, those ten people went nk.


    The people of the empire watching this scene were also dumbfounded.


    The entirety of those twoser beams was blocked, and their energy transferred into a football-sized sphere floating in front of Arkhen.


    *snap!*


    While they were shocked, Arkhen used Demonic Overlord''s Descent.


    [ Demonic Overlord''s Descent ]


    [ -Rank: Ex+ ]


    [ -Affinity: Demonic ]


    [ -Cost: 10% of your Primal Energy]


    [ -Effect: Conjures a demonic avatar for you tomand and unleash devastating demonic attacks. ]


    [ -Demonic Overlord Avatar''s abilities: Impurity Barrage, Demonic Prison, Baal''s Gaze. ]


    [ -Note: Demonic Avatar''s stats are 100% of your stats, including EP]


    Without wasting any time, he used Demonic Prison to trap those ten people in a jail-structured cage with ck vail covering it before using Baal''s Gaze.


    A demonic eye appeared on top of Arkhen that nulled all senses of those people for five seconds!


    "Fuck! I can''t see!"


    "Stop panicking and use your defensive skill! He will attack, and we have to block it!"


    Arkhen saw them scrambling about, but he just grinned widely seeing that and popped a pill into his mouth.


    Belruga me Burst pill!


    Everyone who knew about that pill gasped as they sucked in a cold breath of air.


    They knew that an apocalyptic scene would follow soon!


    ''Since I got this, I''ll add it to the attack,'' Arkhen thought as he looked at the sphere that contained those twoser beams'' power.


    He took out a soul-recovering potion and drank it to recover half of his soul energy and spent half of it to use Vanquish force on the sphere.


    After all, Vanquish force also had the property of boosting potency!


    With the remaining soul energy, he could cast Overlord Shrine once, and he did cast it before creating the Order of Compression and imbuing it in the sphere.


    The sphere was now etched with Order of Fortitude and Order of Compression!


    Afterward, Arkhen started consuming his primal energy and turned it into pure fire energy with his fire affinity before infusing it into the sphere!


    For three seconds, Arkhen infused fire energy worth 40,000,000 of Primal energy!<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    The sphere was visibly distorting around the sphere as even those who were far away watching through the screens felt terrified.


    Those ten people had erected theirbined defense and a total of five seconds also passed as they regained their senses.


    But what greeted them was a sphere burning with reddish-orange me.


    The sphere was constantly trembling, and along with it, the space around it was distorting!


    "Hahahaha," Arkhenughed out loud as he saw the numbers!


    148,930 OP!


    "Dead…" the young man in the group of ten muttered as despair filled his eyes.


    Arkhen also didn''t waste time; a second after they regained their senses, he unleashed the sphere toward them!


    A maddening excitement danced in Arkhen''s eyes as he saw the sphere hitting the Demonic Prison and melting it instantly.


    *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*


    Following a moment of silence, the sphere exploded as a sea of me burst out from it!


    In just two seconds, the sea of me engulfed ten kilometers of area, including Arkhen!


    However, Arkhen was already in a trance as the fire did nothing to him even though he was bathing in the sea of me!


    At the center of the explosion, the space literally cracked as the majority of the fire was sucked out into unknown space.


    But that space cracked quickly and healed as well.


    People watching the screen couldn''t see anything since the several mediums of video feed were destroyed.


    For a few seconds, all people who watched that scene were silent.


    Yosin and the others looked at each other, their heads utterly empty.


    They couldn''t think straight after witnessing that power!


    If Arkhen wished to destroy their empire, he could do so quite easily!


    "Such power… It''s unfair," Sherly muttered after she snapped out of her reverie.


    …


    On the other hand, Arkhen had entered deep meditation after gaining enlightenment regarding fire affinity. His understanding of Fire affinity was increasing quickly.


    The sea of me slowly subsided as if some unknown power exerted its power to suck it away.


    It was the 1st realm itself, Breadth of Wildered!


    After thirty minutes, Arkhen opened his eyes two sparks of me danced in his eyes.


    Something was transforming as he felt power filling him.


    Those two sparks of me in his eyes were orange, but they slowly turned on the lighter side.


    Soon, those two sparks of me in his eyes turned bluish and continued turning lighter before stopping at faint white-bluish sparks of me!


    [Congrattions on progressing your Fire Affinity to level 2, my lord. You now have your own unique me, and it is called White Nightmare me].


    [White Nightmare me]


    -Grade: Emperor


    -A me that brings nightmares to people. You can produce this me by consuming both Primal and Chi energy.


    -This me can travel through intents of iing attacks and directly hurt the target''s soul. People hurt by this me will carry Nightmare me poison in them. If they fall asleep, they will experience a nightmare and damage their soul while experiencing pain.


    "This me… it''s awesome!" Arkhen''s eyes glinted. He could already feel the power of this me since he had acquired it with his own ability from enlightenment.


    [Yes. After every affinity reaches level 2, people gain a unique, more powerful version of their respective element].


    "What are the grades?"


    [Three grades of all elemental powers. Knight-grade, King-grade, and Emperor-grade].


    | Affinity |


    - Fire, Vanquish, Ki, Chaos, Order, Dark, Lightning, Blood.


    1) Fire: Level 2 affinity (0%)


    —> You can consume primal and chi energy to produce White Nightmare me.


    —> Overall control of fire-rted skills increases by 200%.


    —> Fire-rted skills'' damage increased by 50% + 200%.


    "A direct increase of 100% after reaching level 2 affinity?!" Arkhen was startled. No wonder he was feeling such power in him.


    [Indeed]


    "Phew… well, time to go home," Arkhen said as he wryly smiled and took out the token.


    After infusing energy into it, he teleported into the academy.


    In the za, everyone was discussing heatedly. Naturally, the topic was none other than Arkhen!


    "H-He is here!"


    Someone shouted, and everyone looked around before spotting Arkhen.


    The discussion stopped as absolute silence descended.


    *Pooo…*


    Amidst the pin-drop silence, someone couldn''t hold their fart as it reverberated everywhere.


    Arkhen''s wryly smiling face turned into a frown as he looked around, causing everyone to sweat.


    "Who farted?!" Arkhen thundered loudly as everyone shuddered.


    Some literally pissed off their pants!


    But a secondter, Arkhen burst outughing while shaking his head. "I''m just joking, lol. Hahahaha."


    "This guy…" Tifani wiped the sweat on her forehead, and even Sasha felt her heart tremble at Arkhen''s shout.


    Despite knowing him for several days and even bing friends, they felt scared because of the carnage they had just witnessed!


    Everyone signed a relief as they wiped off their sweat. Nobody could see Arkhen as a simple participant anymore.


    He had be a powerful force on his own! Capable of bringing nightmares and destruction to the mass of the 1st realm!


    ...


    On the other hand, the secret base of Myriad Mayhem turned chaotic, with their ten leaders dying!


    The remaining leaders quickly gathered for an emergency meeting!
