Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Arkhen—, \'I am sure you all can at least block one attack of the beast, whatever that beast is, right?\'

Gereld nodded—, \'We do have the means for that. But we will have to follow up with a powerful offense so as to not let the dire beast attack us.\'

Arkhen—, \'I\'ll go first. The dire beasts are not that stupid, and I have a weak aura. Whatever beast there is will not feel any threat from me and won\'t go all out to hunt me. I also have solid means to defend myself and escape with my new skill and my powerful armor.\'

Yeezy—, \'Are you sure? If you are truly sure that you won\'t be severely injured in the first few seconds, we will follow up with our full power.\'

Arkhen—, \'In terms of a pure burst of offense power, I am still weaker. So I\'ll bait myself. Just make sure to finish off the dire beast after it comes to attack me.\'

Arkhen walked to the front of the group while nodding—, \'Get ready. Jeizy can put that sparrow on me to observe the situation. When you see the dire beast attacking me, come quickly.\'

Meya—, \'Be careful, brother Arkhen.\'

Meya looked at Arkhen worriedly and used her skills to buff Arkhen.

[A faint aura covers your body. You have gained a buff: Gray Steel Coating]

[A coating defends you that is 20% of your total Life. No attacks will harm you before it is destroyed].

Arkhen—, \'Thanks, brat. Hahaha.\'

Jeizy also conjured his spirit sparrow again as it perched on Arkhen\'s shoulder.

Afterward, Arkhen walked out of the passage and entered the dark cave.

The cave was not pitch dark as there were some glowing crystals. But they didn\'t provide much lightness.

Arkhen—, \'Where are the eggs?\'

Jeizy—, \'To the extreme right. Thirty meters away from that big stone in the middle.\'

Arkhen walked to the right side while being covered by ten layers of force fields.

Soon, he saw the three big eggs after walking on the uneven ground.

"Come out, or your eggs will be crushed," Arkhen muttered as he pointed towards the eggs with his right hand, which had turned into Dragon Blade.

Jeizy—, \'Wait! Are you truly planning to destroy the eggs? It will make the dire beast who reared them truly furious!\'

Arkhen—, \'Yeah. Furious means it will only focus on me, the culprit who destroyed the eggs. Make sure you kill the beast as it comes to attack me.\'

Jeizy—, \'Shit! Everyone, get ready!\'

\'Piercing Rain Blades!\'

Without hesitation, Arkhen released the attack!

[17 reality motes gained]

*Shriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!*

*Grrr….*

Gereld and others came out of the passage, but a second later, they saw a giant snake directly moving past them! It didn\'t even attack them and directly moved towards Arkhen with furious red eyes!

*Shriiiiiiii!*

Arkhen\'s hair stood on end as he was having goosebumps. He could feel intense bloodlust locking him. However, a hint of thrilling and maddening excitement appeared in Arkhen\'s eyes instead of fear.

He saw the giant snake coming at him as he clenched his trembling fist and grinned, "Come on!"

Lightning thunder sparked around Arkhen as he used <Thunder Mirage Dash> and dashed 20 meters away while the snake opened its mouth wide and devoured the mirage.

*Boom….*

A small explosion occurred in the snake\'s mouth, but it didn\'t affect it at all. On the other hand, its tail directly swept like rocket speed and hit Arkhen right after he finished dashing.

[-986,654 durability]

Arkhen was smacked into the wall and embedded himself in it. However, he was not injured in the slightest since the armor and Meya\'s buff absorbed all the damage.

\'Alright. The plan worked.\'

[Yes, my lord. The 3rd grade beast need more attack to destroy the armor].

In the next second, the all-out attacks of Gereld, Baloth, Jeizy, and Yeezy hit the giant snake\'s head that was moving towards Arkhen.

The snake didn\'t see anything as it just wanted to kill Arkhen. Alas, in its berserk mind state, the powerful attacks of the group hit it.

First to hit was a red and blue colored glowing spinning arrow! It directly drilled into the snake\'s head. Right after that, Two icy glints with intense coldness hit the same spot before the ice power exploded that bound the snake\'s head to the ground with ice.

"Die!"

Yeezy\'s burning gauntlets with dark red flames hit the snake\'s head along with Jeizy\'s skill, which was a projectile of a fierce hound with sharp teeth, exuding a terrifying aura.

*BOOOOM…*

Arkhen also waved his hand as he came out of the wall and unleashed Slaughter Blades from his Dragon Blade weapon.

[38 reality motes gained]

The snake died as its head was totally mangled and destroyed.

A second later, the snake\'s body turned into motes, leaving a treasure chest and a beast core behind.

Everyone cheered as they killed the snake before it could use even half of its full power.

"Are you okay, Arkhen?"

"I am fine. My items are more powerful than yours," Arkhen said with a grin.

*Shsssssss... Grrr!!*

The ground trembled as everyone became cautious and turned their heads behind to see another giant snake!

*Hisss~*

The snake opened its mouth and spit a dark green acidic attack in the wide area towards the group.

However, Baloth quickly smacked his shield on the ground and shouted as a burst of wind power unleashed from him into a giant whirling orb.

The whirling orb clashed with the incoming spits, but the spit was thrown back towards the snake with the advantage of wind power. Moreover, the whirling orb also hit it.

"Attack!"

...

After a minute, they killed the other 3rd-grade snake dire beast as well.

Still, they stayed cautious and observed every direction for two full minutes before finally sighing relief.

"Alright, this area should be safe for now," Gereld said before everyone gathered at the treasure chest and stated while looking at Arkhen, "A treasure chest dropping is a rare occurrence. Not all dire beasts will drop a treasure chest upon being killed."

Naturally, this dropping of the treasure chest and automatic body disintegration phenomena only applied inside labyrinths.

"Brother Arkhen, you open it," Meya said with a smile. "You can also get the first pick. Everyone agrees, right?"

"I don\'t mind," Farin nodded with a smile.

"Go ahead." Baloth, Jeizy, and others also agreed as they nodded.

"Alright," Arkhen said with a grin as he rubbed his palms before opening the treasure chest by breaking its lock with his blade.

However, right after he broke the lock, the treasure chest glowed before it turned into motes and disappeared while leaving things on the ground.

100 high-grade colorful essence stones, a skill scroll, a gemstone, a glowing flower, and a pair of red-colored boxing gloves with white patterns.

Arkhen looked at the skill scroll first.

"Oh, that\'s… Uh, never mind," Yeezy said before she quickly shook her head.
