Rebirth: Tyrant’s New Reality - Chapter 265: Eminence Of Fiery Dance, Disappearance

[ Congratulations, you have broken the record of Obstacle Race Challenge ]

After Arkhen reached the peak and crossed a red line, the whole challenge center reverberated with a mechanical voice.

The old man sitting at a corner in the hall approached Arkhen after Arkhen descended the hill and returned to the all.

“Congrats, brat. All who break the record here are allowed to choose whatever they want from Central Library. That also includes choosing a single EX rank skill or a single EX rank combat art,” the old man said with a grin.

“Haha, that’s perfect. I was in need of an EX rank combat art,” Arkhen said as he laughed loudly. He really enjoyed the challenge.

“Go get your milestone rewards. After that, follow me for the record-breaking reward.”

Arkhen, Meya, and Sierra went towards the big window with a table where Arkhen collected his milestone rewards.

500 high-grade rainbow essence stones.

Talent awakening stone.

Passive skill awakening stone.

Arkhen used both stones right away by pricking his left-hand thumb with his dragon blade to drop some blood drops on the stones.

First, the talent awakening stone. After it came into contact with Arkhen’s blood, the stone shone briefly before some unknown force out of nowhere appeared and entered in Arkhen.

[Congratulations. You have awakening Healing Boost talent]

—

[Healing Boost Talent]

-Effect: All types of healing effects of your skills and superpowers are boosted by 10%.

“It’s a meh talent,” Arkhen said before he dropped some blood on the passive skill awakening stone.

[Congratulations. You have awakened Vision Flare passive skill]

“Alright. The passive skill is not so bad,” Arkhen nodded as he grinned.

“Hehe, then let’s go to the central library. I also want to see what kind of collection this grand Royal Academy has,” Meya said.

“Only this brat will come with me inside the library, haha. You two will stay outside,” the old man said laughingly as he caressed his beard.

“Stingy. It’s not like we can steal your scrolls,” Meya said as she stuck out her tongue.

“Rules are rules,” the old man said as he turned around. “Follow me.”

Arkhen, Meya, and Sierra followed the old man as they walked out of the challenge center.

…

After entering the library, the old man took Arkhen to the small shelf which had a bunch of EX-rank combat art scrolls.

Arkhen could copy the scroll and also capture the intent in them, but that required whooping 100,000 reality motes to copy a single EX rank combat art.

As such, Arkhen just wryly smiled internally at that idea and picked up an EX rank combat art scroll.

EX rank combat art, Duality Ed Ouros.

After leaving the library, Arkhen, Meya, and Sierra decided to have dinner since it was already evening when Arkhen left the Alchemy club where he was crafting potion.

The three of them arrived in the Mystic Chef section of the academy where high-profile small dining halls were created for students having Mystic Chef as their occupation.

While eating, Arkhen said to Velshi, ‘Can you get those three scrolls from my inventory and combine them using Skill pavilion’s function?’

[I can do that. You don’t need to visit Mystic Wonderland for it every time. Most of such functions, I can do for you].

‘Noice! Then combine those three EX rank combat art scrolls.’

[2500 reality essence deducted]

‘Ehhh?!!’ Arkhen was startled and almost dropped the fork from his hand. The last Dream Fragment was bigger, so Arkhen got roughly three thousand reality essence. However… almost all of it was gone now.

[Higher rank skills and combat arts requires more reality essence. But don’t worry. The dream fragments will continue giving you more reality essence]

‘I am also not completing daily missions daily… Sigh, I guess I should start doing them daily.’

[Congratulations! You have acquired a Supreme rank combat art, Eminence of Fiery Dance combat art].

‘Hmm? It seems that this combat art is geared towards Fire attribute.’

[Yes. Usually, it cost 2000 reality essence, but I added 500 reality essence to ensure that the combined result is fire attributed]

‘That’s worth it, alright.’

[ Eminence of Fiery Dance ]

[-Type: Combat Art]

[-Rank: Supreme]

[-Cost: 300,000 chi energy per minute]

[-Passive Effect: Increase your EP by 20%, Agility by 20%, Constitution by 20%, and give your soul attacks a fiery aura that will burn the target’s soul to inflict pain and additional damage if you attack with your offensive-type soul abilities]

—> While activated, your speed increases immensely on the pathways, and upon completing traveling one pathway in the fiery field, you gain a Flame Burst stack that increases your fire damage by 10% and increases EP by 5%.

‘This combat art is superb, hahaha.’

…

Time passed as Arkhen, Meya, and Sierra enjoyed it a lot.

But Arkhen was getting confused.

It’s already been two hours, but Sasha didn’t contact him.

“One second, girls. I need to make a call,” Arkhen said as he took out his comm crystal to call Sasha.

However, it didn’t connect!

“What happened?” Sierra asked.

“Sasha told me she would contact me soon after getting the ingredients, but it’s already been two hours.”

“Then let’s go to the Skyflare alchemy club and check there,” Meya said as she puffed her cheeks, “If she forgot about you, then she needs punishment. How dare she neglect my awesome brother Arkhen, right?”

…

“Ledro, your son is quick, hahaha. We already got the main target, a girl from one of the council families.”

Inside a cage, Sasha was also unconscious along with the other three girls.

“Now, we just need the required human girls.”

“Ledro, tell your son to get some human girls. There should be a lot going in and out of the academy these days because of the competition.”

“But we have to be quick because we got Sasha. Her disappearance will be noticed soon, and the empire will not hold back on searching for her.”

“The teleportation formation ring is ready. I am sending these four girls to the headquarters in several minutes.”

“Good. Then we’ll go and capture human girls. Ledro, send your son a message to get some girls as well.”

…

“She is not here… Where did she go?” Arkhen frowned.

“Maybe some urgent work demanded her presence somewhere? I heard that she is a daughter of a big-shot family in the empire,” Sierra said with a wry smile.

“Big shot family?” Arkhen asked, curious. He didn’t know about Sasha background.

“Yeah. This empire has a constitution known as a council, and five families with a special bloodline run this council. Of course, the most authority is still in the Royal family’s hands. But these five families are second only to the Royal family,” Sierra answered.

“Hehe, we also heard that in her family, her elder sister is given more important because of her talent and the purity of her bloodline,” Meya said.

“Welp, whatever her background is, I need to find her so I can continue alchemy.”

‘Velshi, find Sasha.’

[As you wish, my lord]
