Chapter 109 Dumbfounded
Ten minutes later...
"No! Stop!"
"Enough, please!"
"S-Stop! We give up!" the old man with a long white beard said. His body was punctured with several tiny holes because of the barrage of <Piercing Rain Blades> that Arkhen released from his dragon blade.
Every single one of them was injured badly, and none of them could even put a scratch on Arkhen.
"You all have some energies left, right? Attack me, I want to test one more power," Arkhen said with a grin.
Those 25 powerhouses revealed helpless expressions.
"Can we heal ourselves first?… Please?"
"Alright, heal yourselves," Arkhen nodded.
Many of them had a healing-type skill, and two of them had a healing-type superpower, so after spending their energies, they moderately healed themselves.
"We don\'t have much energy left. We can only release our powers once at most," the white-bearded old man said.
"It\'s fine. Do it," Arkhen said as he stretched his hand forward and activated a superpower he had yet to use.
Mayhem Field!
A 100-meter diameter round whirlpool-like field appeared in front of Arkhen.
"Attack!" Arkhen said in a loud voice.
Those 25 powerhouses released their offensive superpower active powers and skills with their remaining energy. However, they saw that all those attacks didn\'t pass through that whirlpool-like field but started whirling inside it after turning into unstable energies.
"That\'s it? Release more!" Arkhen shouted.
"Uh, we are out of energy."
"Yeah, out of gas."
Arkhen clicked his tongue as he wanted to see the limit of Mayhem Field. Shaking his head, he manipulated the mayhem field and threw it far away into the ocean.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM…*
A giant explosion occurred after it impacted the ocean, almost like a mini-nuke.
*Gulp…*
Those 25 powerhouses gulped with sweat beards covering their foreheads.
*Swoosh…*
Arkhen stored the Wrathful Dragon avatar back into the armor since it still had HP, and he could summon it whenever he wanted until it got destroyed. The downside was that he couldn\'t heal the avatar. But that was fine.
After that, Arkhen flew towards the 25 people and faintly smiled. "From now on, I am your leader in the name. I won\'t bother with this managing work and shit, but when those people from Galactic Alliance arrive here, I will represent myself as a leader and talk with them. I also want to know all things you know about the outer space world."
"Understood?"
Everyone quickly nodded.
"Alright, now lead me to the library," Arkhen said.
…
"Arkhen, I volunteered because I need your help," Emily said with a serious expression.
"What?" Arkhen asked while walking beside her. Both of them were moving towards the library.
"Can you announce from now on that I become your secretory or assistance of the sort? Since you are not interested in managing things and staying here, I can help you by relaying you information about various things," Emily said.
"Stop," said Arkhen as he paused his footsteps and also stopped Emily before looking at her and sizing her up. "Hmm…"
|Emily|
-Stamina: 100
-Strength: 100
-Agility: 100 (+35)
-Charm: 9
-EP: 29,458
——>Primal Energy: 500,000/500,000
"What help do you need? And how old are you?" Arkhen asked.
"I am thirty-four years old," Emily said with a wry smile before adopting a serious expression. "I need help because I am being forced to join a clan. I don\'t have my parents anymore, and I was also a student here. After turning thirty-one, I joined the academy\'s staff. But half a year ago, I received a blessing of an unknown entity that powered me up a lot."
"I see. So after finding your strength, they want you to get bound to a clan for sure-fire support," Arkhen said with a smile.
"Yes," Emily nodded. Her curly long silver hair slightly bounced with her nodding.
"Sure, I\'ll announce that to the council\'s hall before leaving. But let me ask you, you are probably single, right? So why don\'t you join a clan?" Arkhen asked out of curiosity.
"I, I am not interested in men."
"What!?!" Arkhen was dumbfounded.
"I had an abusive father who beat my mother a lot when I was young. I and my mother ran away later, but because of my childhood, I don\'t like men," Emily said with a sigh. "I get disgusted and feel like puking even when a man touches me."
"But you are such a beauty… Well, alright," Arkhen said as he was a bit speechless and nodded. "I\'ll help you, but in return, you will join my harem."
"I-I already you, I-"
"Chill, I will not force myself onto you," Arkhen said with a grin, "I have many women, so you can also have fun. But I will make sure to turn you straight little by little. Not any other men, but you will definitely fall in love with me. I\'ll make sure of that."
Emily turned silent. After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded. "Fine. But don\'t force yourself on me, please... I won\'t be able to resist your strength so..."
"I won\'t, hahaha. I already have a plan to get you to accept me as your man with little things every day," Arkhen said with a grin. "I could also instantly change your thoughts, but there\'s no fun or truth in that, hahaha."
Arkhen didn\'t want to influence Emily even a tiny bit and wanted to get her normally.
\'Velshi, can I remove those little influences I did from all my women?\'
[None of them are influenced since long ago. The moment their genuine thoughts and feelings for you solidified, the influence no longer mattered as all of them loved you dearly. Since you never deeply influenced anyone of them, all of them have their original personalities and characters.]
\'Glad I didn\'t brainwash them.\'
[Well, even if you did brainwash them. It could be removed and turn them back to how they were so you can make them fall for you again normally.]
\'Haha, right.\'
…
After entering the main library, Arkhen was surprised to find many A, S, and SS rank skills. However, there were no SSS rank skills.
"Is this the best this academy got?" Arkhen asked as he looked at Emily.
"Yep," Emily nodded.
"Weak. But whatever," Arkhen said as he picked up a primal energy-based SS-rank skill scroll for Nick and turned it into a skill stone before leaving the library with Emily.
Afterward, he went to the council hall and gathered everyone again.
"I have something to announce," Arkhen said as he turned around and beckoned Emily to come.
Emily nodded as she walked towards Arkhen and stood beside him.
"From now on, Emily is my woman, one of my wives," Arkhen said with a dominating grin and put his right hand on Emily\'s shoulder.
At first, Emily felt uncomfortable but soon, she was surprised as a comfortable sensation manifested with Arkhen\'s hand touching her shoulder.
"If anyone dares to touch her, I will cut them into pieces with my blades," Arkhen said, his eyes gleaming coldly.
*Swoosh…*
The entire hall was filled with crescent sharp thin blades, making everyone sweat.
"Is that clear?"
Everyone quickly nodded, including the female members of the council.
After that, both Arkhen and Emily left the hall and stood outside.
"Did you feel uncomfortable with my touch?" Arkhen said as he turned to Emily with a faint smile.
"Not…not as much as I expected. But that didn\'t change my perception," Emily said after taking a short breath.
"It will change step by step," Arkhen said with a laugh. "Alright, now I am leaving. Contact me when you are done with work here, and I\'ll take you to my castle to meet with your fellow wives, hahaha."
"But how can I contact you? You didn\'t give me your number."
"You can contact me through that bracelet. You will know its function after activating it. There\'s a function of communication. It connects to other bracelets users, but you only have my contact in it for now," Arkhen said. He added this function about communication later, allowing everyone to contact each other via that bracelet.
Emily infused a bit of energy in the bracelet and activated it before seeing various function tabs.
Nodding her head, she said, "Got it. Then I\'ll contact you later."
"No kiss yet, I guess. Well, laters," Arkhen said with a smile before he teleported back to the castle\'s 3rd floor as it was time for the daily training of Sierra and others.
After that, he also had to disclose the news of Mark and others leaving.
