Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 155 Ashen Lava Dragon! Labyrinth (4/13)

In his Deck holder, three cards were extended in a flower-like manner but not flipped. Though not flipped, he still knew their effects since he drew the three cards from the deck.

All three cards were Metamorphic cards. After drawing those three cards, Arkhen changed the deck to a Status effect deck.

'If the transformation also weakens monsters, it would be perfect,' Arkhen thought as he continued walking with others.

They soon arrived in front of the giant labyrinth gates and like others, they held each other's hands to not get separated after passing through the mysterious membrane entrance.

"Let's go," Gereld said, his voice containing slight excitement.

Everyone walked inside the gate and disappeared.

…

In the next second, they found themselves on a lavatic ground. They were in a large area with a lavatic floor and a river of flowing lava in front of them.

*Roarr!*

*chiiiii…*

There were many other people here, and all of them were fighting with various dire beasts that spawned from the lavatic river.

"It looks like we landed in quite a hot zone," Yeezy said as she bumped her big gauntlets against each other.

"Did anyone find the passage to the 2nd floor yet!!"

Someone shouted in the vast area.

The ceiling of this area was also 400 meters high. It was a rough structure like a giant vast cave.

"My group was the first to arrive here, and the field beast hadn't appeared yet! Kill the monsters here first!"

"Let's start the killings. Unless we kill enough beasts to call the field beast of this area, the passage to the next floor below won't appear," Gereld said as he also wielded his daggers. "The real fun, danger, and rewarding adventure start after we pass this floor."

"So there are multiple areas in the labyrinths," Arkhen said as he looked around.

"Yep. There are several first-floor areas, but then people will dwindle as we go down because the labyrinths get bigger and bigger," Yeezy said before narrowing her eyes and jumping high. "One is coming here!"

*Crhiiiiiii!!*

It was a giant flying beast with long and wide wings, a large lizardic head, and sharp talons.

"Leave me the finishing blow!" Arkhen shouted as he flew up and started raining attacks with his slaughter blades.

'Piercing Rain Blades!'

Yeezy flew even higher than the beast and a giant energy fist appeared with her punch that smacked the beast to the ground, making it half dead.

It was a 2nd-stage beast, and Yeezy's single attack reduced its health by 96%.

"Thanks," Arkhen said with a grin as he pointed his attacks at the beast on the ground and killed it with his Piercing Rain Blades that were released from his Dragon Blade.

Sarangan Dragon Blade was a proper EX+ item. So its upgrade was also drastic. Like the Deck of Mystic Cards, it also reached 9th class.

——

[Sarangan Dragon Blade]

-Rank: EX+ (9th-class)

-Passive: All attacks of this blade or through this blade will ignore 50% of the enemy's defense.

-Chi medium: You can unleash chi energy-based skills through this blade.

-Oblivion Erasure: Whenever you successfully kill or hit a target with this blade, your Oblivion gauge will fill up. Upon reaching 1000, you can unleash an Oblivion Slash. (1 point for a successful hit, 10 points for a kill)

———> Oblivion Gauge: [0/1000], Oblivion Slash: A slash of any size you will (maximum size: 10,000 meters wide, either horizontally or vertically.) This slash will ignore all obstacles for 5 seconds and pass through them or until it reaches the target you locked on to deal damage according to your EP. This slash will also ignore all forms of defense of the opponent.

-Vital Chi Flame+: You can consume 100,000 chi energy to coat the blade with vital chi flame for 1 minute. During this 1 minute, your injuries will be healed according to the damage you deal.

-Dragon Cry: You can infuse 500,000 chi energy in the blade to unleash a deafening dragon cry that disrupts all attacks within 100 meters of you and gives temporary fear for a few seconds to dire beasts depending on the strength gap between the user and targets.

——

After the upgrade, the passive and Vital Chi Flame improved while an additional effect also appeared.

Previously, it cost 10,000 Chi energy to activate the Vital Chi Flame, but now it took 100,000 Chi energy. Obviously, the effect also increased drastically along with the cost.

…

After ten minutes, everyone was surprised by Arkhen's combat power.

? "How did you get that blade? I can see that it is bound to your existence since your entire hand turned into a blade, but that is really a powerful weapon," Baloth said.

"It's a secret," Arkhen said with a smile as he pointed his hand at the giant lava-horned goliath beetle-like beast with spikes on its body and unleashed Piercing Rain Blades to finish it off.

[29 reality motes gained]

In the last ten minutes, Arkhen dealt a finishing blow to 32 beasts and earned 918 reality motes!

'Hahaha, keep them coming!' Arkhen thought.

Each dead beast dropped a beast core, and Meya was carefully collecting them. Apparently, dire beasts at 2nd grade and above dropped beast cores. The beast cores have other uses outside, but inside the labyrinth, they have a unique purpose.

The dire beasts killed inside the labyrinth are a bit different. Their beast cores couldn't be taken out. However, they were used in the labyrinth to get rewards in a unique way after passing the 1st floor.

*Roar!!*

Suddenly, a dragon came out of the lava river and flew up in the sky before roaring!

That dragon was 20 meters long with 25 meters of wingspan! Its body was ashen with lavatic red patterns, and its wings were also the same.

"Field Beast is here!"

It was a 4th-grade dire beast!

Arkhen looked at its status and turned serious.

[Ashen Lava Dragon]

-Dire Beast ~ Fourth-grade

-Stamina: 456

-Agility: 448

-Strength: 469

[My lord. Be extremely careful. Two attacks of this beast will destroy your armor, and if another hits, you will die].
