Arkhen wanted a burst movement-type skill that he can use in tandem with his purple-star wings, so this skill was perfect.

"I'll remove the seal. Wait a second." The staff lady stood up and walked towards the same cupboard before taking out a magical stamp.

She put that stamp on the seal symbol on the scroll and removed the seal. "Here you go," the woman said with a smile.

Arkhen grabbed the scroll and infused his primal energy in it. The next moment, the scroll turned into motes and disappeared as Arkhen received the knowledge of the skill.

"Now show us the best combat arts," Meya said.

…

After twenty minutes, everyone left the Royal store as Arkhen selected an SSS-rank skill, Thunder Mirage dash. And an SSS-rank combat art: Exo-Blood Gear Combat Art.

Arkhen didn't want to roam further since he wanted to learn the combat art, and It was also nearing the evening of the day.

[My lord. Since you have completed your urge of combat, you have gained 100 reality essence and completed today's daily quest. Tomorrow's daily quest will appear at 12:01 AM].

'Gotcha.'

"Ok, I will also train with you three in your room," Meya said with a grin. "I also need to foster the power I got from my Star of Endowment."

The four of them returned to the palace, but Gereld was still nowhere to be seen.

"Where did your brother go?"

"They are in a meeting at the royal palace regarding the incident that happened today," Meya said.

Soon, the four of them entered the big room and entered the balcony garden before sitting cross-legged on the lawn floor in meditation.

Azela just tried to feel the phenomenon regarding Stars of Endowment in the sky but didn't intend to awaken. After all, they were waiting for that so-called goddess of water and life.

However, Emily was fully focused.

Meya also focused as a mysterious aura appeared around her.

On the other hand, Arken took out the scroll of Exo-Blood Gear combat art.

After making a slight cut on his left hand by activating his Dragon Blade on the right hand, he dropped some blood on the scroll.

A second later, the scroll turned into motes and disappeared. However, unlike skills, he couldn't just activate this combat art right off the bat.

After Arkhen received knowledge about this combat art, he knew what to do.

Arkhen had to carve runes on his body according to the knowledge he received. The process was painful since he had to do that on his body and also inside his body.

However, Arkhen was used to pain. In a way, his pain feeling threshold was higher than most people because of his stubbornness and thirst to get stronger so that he could live his life however he wanted.

Just like how in the Doom Tower, he passed that 15th gate despite his entire body cracking. Arkhen did that for the best result to increase his overall power.

After taking a deep breath, Arkhen started controlling chi energy and began carving the runes on his body according to the knowledge he received.

He also had to make the runes perfect, without any errors in them. Otherwise, if he activated runes with errors, he would get serious injuries once activating the combat art.

…

Time passed as everyone trained in their various things…

After five hours, Arkhen's entire body had mysterious blood-red patterns as he was done with the external part and opened his eyes.

"Half work done," Arkhen murmured as the runic patterns all over his body pulsed before they vanished.

'Now time for the internal part,' Arkhen thought before he looked at his left side and saw that Meya was still training.

"Arkhen, I am not going to make a connection with a Star of Endowment. Although I am not that close, I don't want even want to try since you are waiting for that person to arrive here," Azela said.

"Yep. That's better. I need to teach that wench a lesson to complete the task and get great rewards," Arkhen said with a grin. "Don't worry, I won't let any harm fall upon you."

"I know," Azela gently smiled and nodded before blushing as a hesitant experience appeared on her face, "But can you take a small break? It's night and…and… You know."

…

Approximately an hour later, Meya opened her eyes but saw that Arkhen and Azela were nowhere to be seen in the garden. "Where did they go?" Meya muttered in confusion.

Suddenly, Arkhen appeared right beside her, fully naked.

Arkhen was also startled as he quickly spent 1 reality mote to create clothes for him.

"W-What were doing naked?" Meya asked with her mouth wide open. She saw the glimpse of Arkhen's fully naked body, making her face turn red.

"Haha, I was having some fun with my wife," Arkhen said with a laugh. "She is now sleeping, so I am back here for the training."

*knock knock…*

Before Meya could say something, someone started knocking on the door of the room.

Arkhen went to open it and saw a female servant standing there. Looking at Arkhen, she said, "Lord Gereld is calling you and lady Meya downstairs for something urgent."

Meya also arrived behind Arkhen and heard that as she nodded, "Alright, we'll be there in a second."
