Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

'Yeah. I am thinking of getting them. Though, I also need a low-rank defensive skill, either SSS rank or EX rank because that Aegis of Life Conversion being a Supreme rank skill is draining too much of my energy whenever I use it.'

[Yes. It indeed drains you faster if you use it to defend against every big attack in a long fight. Your current soul and mental prowess also get exhausted. Well, you will have a stronger soul and mental prowess as you ascend higher, making your limit of using your unlimited energies longer as you get stronger].

'Hmmm... Alright. I think I have a sufficient defense if I manage my Chaos Empowerment passive correctly and use the <Aegis of Life Conversion> at proper times,' Arkhen replied with a nod and decided to spend all of his points to buy essence stones.

Anyway, his offense was powerful, and as they say… \Offense can be the best defense/

Arkhen spent 488,000 points to get 6100 high-grade rainbow essence stones. With the remaining one thousand-something points, Arkhen selected the custom order Class-3 pill/potion option.

Naturally, he didn't get the items. But he inserted the card in the card slot and then added information on what things he wanted to buy. The points were deducted and the information about the things he bought was stored on the card.

Now he could bring that card to another door behind him.

[Take your items] was the plate hanging at that door. Arkhen entered inside and gave his card to an old man sitting at a table.

That old man took the card and read its data before giving Arkhen a storage pouch. "This storage pouch has 6100 high-grade essence stones and a coupon. You can use that coupon to any alchemy shop in this town and get a Class-3 pill or potion of your choice."

"Got it," Arkhen nodded as he took the pouch and left through the exit door on his left side.

He arrived at the plaza hall after coming out of that door and saw a few participants still there.

"Hey!"

Arkhen saw a voice booming in his direction and turned his head to the side, only to see that Niviam guy.

"What connection do you have with City Lord Yanshi? How can they disqualify me and take away corrupted cores I collected even though I didn't do anything?!" Niviam said while fuming with anger.

"Go ask them. Not me," Arkhen said before he walked towards a bench and sat down on it. 'Velshi, how is Sierra doing?'

[A lot better than before. She will pass the trial after three days, I presume].

Niviam saw Arkhen ignoring him, but he was actually scared now. Arkhen didn't suppress his aura anymore, so when Niviam released a faint soul sense outside to check Arkhen's aura exuding from his body, he knew that he was no match for him.

His instincts told him that he would die if messed with this guy.

'Take out Lucius and Blancia.'

A second later, Lucius and Blancia appeared outside from Mystic Wonderland and looked around curiously.

Both of them were in normal size, just like regular tigers.

"Be on the lookout buddy. Also, don't be naughty, Blancia," Arkhen said as he lightly caressed their heads.

"Rawr…" Blancia cutely roared as she moved her head and licked Arkhen's palm before sitting down.

"Grrr…" Lucius nodded his head in response and also sat down beside blancia. Suddenly, Blancia's displayed a mischievous glint in her eyes and used her tail to tickle Lucius.

Lucius's body trembled before he snorted laughing and also started tickling Blancia back.

Seeing them playing around, Arkhen smilingly shook his head and also called out Ruan the wolf before laying on the bench and closing his eyes. 'Velshi. Take me to see Sierra's trial.'

Ruan the wolf didn't join in the fun, and like a loyal pet, it just slept on Arkhen's stomach in its miniature palm-size body.

…

Arkhen watched Sierra's trial for an hour and then decided to just sleep on the bench because he was exhausted and needed rest.

After an hour, City Lord Yanshi and Lady Rong came out into the plaza hall and saw Arkhen sleeping on the bench.

"I've been wondering how he could fight so long... haha. As expected, he is exhausted," City Lord Yanshi said with a wry smile.

Velshi came outside in her big cute eyes and wings on a ball form and observed them. Arkhen was in a super deep sleep, and he had told her to wake him up if something happened or if Lady Rong arrived there.

"He is coming to the sect anyway, so I'll take him," Lady Rong said with a smile as she waved her hand and took out her small flying ship in the air above everyone in the vast open hall of the plaza.

Although her flying ship was just ten meters long and five meters wide, it was of the highest grade in the 1st realm.

After taking out her ship, she pointed her finger at Arkhen.

"Grrr…" Lucius, Blancia, and Ruan released a low growl toward Lady Rong despite being scared. Their beastly instincts told them that Lady Rong was too dangerous. Of course, they could also feel that she had no bad intentions toward Arkhen. Still, they remained cautious.

"Relax, cuties," Lady Rong said with a smile as she looked at Arkhen's pets. "I am taking all of you in that ship because your master planned to come with me in the first place. Stay still, okay?"

Velshi quickly calmed those beasts down and sent her thoughts into their heads and told them.

The three beasts looked at each other before looking at Lady Rong and nodded their heads.

"They are intelligent, and all of them have high-ranking bloodlines… Just where did this kid get them?" City Lord Yanshi spoke with a speechless expression before wondering, 'About that wolf… I can't quite put my finger on its bloodline, but it is so unique… What kind of wolf is that?'

"Who knows? But he is an interesting individual nonetheless. It will be interesting if he manages to arrive at the 4th realm soon," Lady Rong said with a grin as she waved her hand to create faint cloudy cotton-like things around Arkhen and the beasts before putting them on the ship ten meters above the ground.

"Alright, I am leaving now. You can come to the sect after you've freed yourself from this debt of being a City Lord of this town," Lady Rong said before flying up on her ship.

"Only one year left, haha. I'll be there soon," Yanshi said with a grin before she remembered something and said, "Wait! You are taking him just like that. What if he has some unfinished business here?"

"Eh, you are right," Lady Rong wryly smiled and paused.

Velshi also remembered about Jeizy and thought, 'Arkhen should say farewell to him, I guess.'

Lady Rong woke up Arkhen as Arkhen opened his eyes with a headache and feeling groggy.

"Uhh…" Arkhen lightly grunted as he rubbed his temples. However, he soon understood the situation and thanked Lady Rong.

"I don't have much matter to attend. But I'll say farewell to a friend," Arkhen said with a smile as he contacted Jeizy.
