Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 196 Goddess!

Choosing the skill was not tough. There were two Supreme rank skills and Arkhen chose one of them. The main problem with all skills was that none of them were Fire or Vanquish affinity-based.

In the end, he chose a Shield/Recovery-type skill since he had none like those.

[Aegis of Life Conversion]

[-Rank: Supreme]

[-Affinity: Life & Water]

[-Class: Maxed]

[-Cost: 1,000 Inomiz energy / 1,000,000 Primal energy]

[-Effect: Conjures three Aegis orbs around you that automatically extend a water barrier whenever an attack nears you. The damage suffered by the barrier is converted into a healing force, which you can use to heal yourself or anyone within five kilometers of yourself. You can also use an orb to heal anyone directly as they already contain powerful healing force]

[It's lucky that we managed to finish off this wench according to the plan. If things turned a different way and you failed to win, she would've likely escaped with this skill in combination with that another Supreme rank skill. Both are very much effective in protecting and letting her have a chance to escape]

'Indeed. Moreover, I doubt Duchess Liani has any Supreme rank skill,' Arkhen thought.

[Yes. She doesn't have any Supreme rank skill]

'Alright, I am choosing this Aegis of Life Conversion skill,' Arkhen thought as he willed in this ethereal space that was created between the link of Arkhen and Reisa.

The second he chose the skill, a wolf avatar appeared and devoured the orb that indicated the skill, <Aegis of Life Conversion>!!

A primal howl of a wolf reverberated as Arkhen's mind was infused with the entirety of the skill. He received all knowledge, the best execution process, how to use it, and everything regarding it from Reisa.

On the other hand, Reisa lost the skill forever! The skill was completely and utterly stolen from her origin of existence!

Outside, Arkhen opened his eyes and saw that Reisa was still kneeling on the floor. However, her face was pale as if she suffered some damage.

Indeed she did suffer some damage to her soul, but it was minor.

"Arkhen, you won?"

Liani and others entered the room as they sensed some powerful energy readings when Arkhen used the skill <Ravenous Devourment> and came upstairs.

"Yep, I won."

Arkhen nodded with a smile and soon saw other people enter the room. 'Damn, all of them are so powerful. Except for that guy in the middle. But he is still in the 5th class. Who are these people with dragon horns and tails?'

"Arkhen, nice to meet you," the young man said with a smile reaching his eyes. "My name is Balthin. We are from the Draken Kingdom and require your assistance."

"Huh?" Arkhen was dumbfounded. 'Did I hear correctly?'

[Yes, you did hear correctly. It seems that they want your assistance].

"My assistance? Are you sure you are looking at the right person?" Arkhen asked with a weird expression.

"We are absolutely sure," Balthin said with a faint smile as he activated a crystal, which produced a hologram that showed Arkhen's face and upper body until his waist.

"That is…indeed I," Arkhen muttered as he looked at the hologram.

"What type of assistance do you want?" Arkhen asked, still feeling strange that these people came here to get his assistance despite being so strong.

"For that, we must request you to come with us," Balthin said with a wry smile. "If you can help us, we will sufficiently reward you."

"Come with you?" Arkhen frowned and shook his head, "I won't come with you right now. I still have some unfinished business to complete."

"Uhh… It's fine then. We will even help you complete your unfinished business," Balthin said and nodded sincerely. "Once you finish your business here, you can come with us. Don't worry, if you failed to help us, we shall drop you off at any location of your choice as we have the ability to travel anywhere in this 1st realm in a short time."

"Alright then, wait here. My first business lies below," Arkhen said with a grin as he pointed his finger on the ground and took out a mysterious metal ball with tiny blinking blue dots stripes from his inventory with his other hand.

"Below?" Liani was confused, and so were others.

"Yep. Below. As in, I have to finish some business in the Gravel Realm, and it will take exactly five days, no more, no less."

After saying that, Arkhen activated the ball as both he and Reisa were wrapped in a spatial membrane before…

*Poof!*

They disappeared into a tiny blink dot of space that opened for less than a second.

Liani, Balthin, and the other three were dumbfounded.

"That… How did he manage to teleport like that?" Balthin asked with a stupefied expression.

The others in the room couldn't wrap their heads around that either. After all, it was normally impossible for someone at Arkhen's level to teleport like that, at such a speed.

"Wait, didn't he say he had business in the Gravel Realm? He could teleport in the Gravel Realm from here?! I've never heard someone who isn't at the peak of the 1st realm being able to do that!" the woman uttered in shock.

"That ball… I believe it was the power of that ball," Balthin muttered before sighing and shaking his head. "At least, his strange antics give us hope that he may indeed be able to help us. Now, we can only wait for his return."

…

Arkhen appeared inside a garden with little human kids playing with other alien people, who had cute pink antennas while some had tiny tails or horns. These kids looked to be from five to eight years old.

The garden was closed with a glass ceiling, and only kids were present as they were playing with various kid gadgets like swings, rolling, and other various playing things that Arkhen had never seen before.

Instead of being scared, these kids surrounded Arkhen and Reisa with curiosity overflowing in their eyes. More specifically, their focus was mainly on Reisa.

"This person… Doesn't she look like the big statues outside?" one of the kids said as he pointed his finger at Reisa.

"Waaa! You are right. She looks like that. Big sister, are you really the goddess?"

"Goddess? Is she really the goddess? Woah!"

Arkhen was kind of speechless. 'Couldn't this ball choose another location?'

Reisa had an uncomfortable expression as if she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, many people entered this garden from the door with cautious expressions but were utterly shocked when they saw Reisa!

"Goddess!"
