Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

City Lord Yanshi glanced at Lady Rong and sent her a mind message, 'is that because of his physique or some other power? Do you know about his Star of Endowment?'

'I don't know about his Star of Endowment. It could be either of those,' Lady Rong replied

"It's going hit..." the bald middle-aged man muttered with his eyes glued to the screen.

Honestly, none of them could measure the true power of that attack. So they were eager to see it.

The toughness of that Nexus holder was akin to a regular 8th class powerhouse with that comb-vine defense skill having the power of EX rank defensive skill with approx 800,000 EP.

They couldn't feel the true energy readings of that attack since they were not present there. The bird's eyes showed them some feedback and also the intensity of power, but it was not precise nor at full measurement.

But if they were present there, they would have been shocked!

After all, that single spear-shaped Slaughter Blade contained:

1. 50% defense ignoring effect from Sarangan Dragon Blade!

2. 8,400,000 chi energy worth of slaughter blades' power!

3. Chaos Force to further boost the attack!

4. Fire attributed with the trait of 50% increased damage to fire-attributed attacks due to Fire affinity!

5. Overlord Shrine, which boosted the original attack power by 250%! Basically… additional power is worth 250% of 8,400,000 chi energy, which means…21,0000,00 chi energy worth of power!

Even Arkhen was afraid of getting hit by his own attack as he sensed the power in this single spear-shaped slaughter blade!

"Eat this!"

Arkhen stopped when he was ten meters away from the tree monster's defensive skill and hurled his attack forward!

The spear flew forward, and the moment it hit the shield, everything turned silent for a millisecond…

'Chrre?' The tree monster felt something in that millisecond that it couldn't describe. However, it was the last thing it experienced.

The spear continued as its extremely potent power instantly broke the defense dome and turned it into tiny dust and ash before hitting the tree monster's trunk.

'Burst,' Arkhen thought as he snapped his finger.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

There was an absolute silence for half a second after Arkhen made the spear explode. After half a second, an intense explosion occurred, creating an expanding domain of utter destruction from the center point of the explosion!

[83 reality motes gained]

The destruction expanded to two hundred meters in diameter at a breakneck speed with a loud deafening sound!

Even Arkhen was thrown like a shooting star as he hit the furthest of this vast hall's wall!

"Damn… *Puchi*…" Arkhen cursed as he spat out blood and wryly smiled. He was seriously injured by his own attack.

Looking at the front, Arkhen saw the dust and ashes settling but… didn't see even a faint sign of that tree monster existing.

It was completely and utterly destroyed!

But strangely, the giant corrupted core of that tree monster lay there, sparkling with mainly dark green and other multiple colors.

'Velshi, how many reality motes to heal my injuries?'

[1839 reality motes].

But suddenly, Arkhen sensed a presence and turned his head to his left.

A man looking in his early twenties entered the ancient hall. He had dark brown hair mixed with front hair strands being yellow. His short hairstyle looked like some anime character.

As for his get-up, he wore dark silver slim armor and had two daggers in his hand with glowing dark yellow gemstones in each of their handles.

"Woah, Woah Woah…. What happened here?" the man commented as he entered. The first thing he saw was a fat corrupted core, making his eyes shine. But after that, he sensed a presence and turned to look at Arkhen.

"Hmm… I guess you killed the monster here. But it seems you are done in pretty badly as well," the man said with a smile as he looked at the seriously injured Arkhen with his whole body covered in blood and barely intact clothes.

Arkhen quickly wore Archion Draconic Armor and narrowed his eyes. He didn't wear the armor before because it would have cost all of its durability, and it would be a pain to restore its durability. But he could heal himself using pills and reality points, which were less expensive.

"Chill, rank 1 guy. We can't hurt each other, hahaha. But I will be taking that corrupted core because… you haven't taken it yet," the man said with a cheeky grin.

"Move one step ahead, and I promise you that you will die in one second," Arkhen stated with extreme indifference on his face. Internally, he was actually spent.

His mental exhaustion was especially pretty bad because of the energies he spent in the past four hours and so much at the last minute here.

Arkhen was not in a position to spend enough energy for a powerful attack. If he did that, he would straight out faint before even releasing an attack. However, that guy wouldn't be able to put even a scratch on his powerful body, which was not sealed anymore.

'Velshi, heal me. Also, heal my mental exhaustion if possible.'

[That will cost 14,839 reality motes. Your exhaustion is from all sides right now. Especially your spent soul power and mental exhaustion. I told you that such things would cost way more].

"Rank 1, are you sure you can kill me in the next second?" the man asked with a smile before he continued, "the way I am sensing, you are oozing out so much exhaustion, and I am not feeling any threat from you. Haha, I trust my guts that you can't kill me."

"Pff… Hahaha," Arkhen started laughing as he stood up. His physical body was fully healed as he used reality motes, but the blood on his body remained. Naturally, he also suppressed the aura of his recovered physical body, making it look like he was still injured.

Arkhen could do that easily since he gained absolute mastery over his bodily prowess.

"Props for standing up. But don't exert too much power. No need to act tough. Anyway, my name is Niviam, and I am taking that corrupted core," Niviam said with a grin as he indeed took one step ahead.

"You all are watching this, right?" Arkhen suddenly said as he looked around. "I am going to kill this guy. But if you want to prevent it, send him back to the town."

'Velshi. Heal my mental exhaustion as well. Just enough for me to exert enough energy to kill that guy. Anyway, I've earned a lot of reality motes in the past four hours of non-stop killings.'

-[Reality Motes: 69,719]

…

On the other hand, Lady Rong and others looked at each other with wry smiles after hearing Arkhen's words.

"He is really haughty, eh? Declaring to kill that guy despite knowing that doing so would disqualify him. Humph, does he think we will send that guy back to the town because he said so?" the bald middle-aged man spoke as he snorted.

Lady Rong looked at Arkhen on the screen. After thinking for a second, a glint passed through her eyes, and a faint smile formed on her face.
