Chapter 274 Elemental Ruins. Annihilating Offence!

After arriving at the top of the tree, Arkhen saw a block monster made of countless squares and rectangles of various colors!

[My lord. This battle will be a bit hard. Not as hard as that first guardian boss, but it will still prove to be troublesome. So, don't be careless].

The guardian boss just floated there, unresponsive.

As always, the boss would activate once Arkhen attacked it. As such, he decided to hit it with his newfound power.

First, he used the <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen> skill and erected Overlord Shrine beside him. 25% soul energy was consumed, which in turn produces order force.

Next, he used his 3rd bloodline ability, <Maximos Expolimos>!

Arkhen felt a burst of power before tendrils of dark lightning energy came out of his body from every part!

—

<Maximos Exoplimos>: Covers the user in an armament of absolute offense mode as the user gains 100 Maximos Sparks. Consume Maximos Sparks to freely create destructive weapons using imagination. The mode will be over after all 100 Maximos Sparks are consumed.

—

Arkhen felt absolute power in him as he was covered in a unique stylist armor of his imaginative choice that was crackling with dark lightning!

There were a hundred four-point star-shaped sparks around him, crackling with dark lightning while oozing out a faint white hue!

"Hahaha! Awesome," Arkhen laughed as he knew what to do.

With a snap of his finger, he created an array of missiles crackling with dark lightning as they oozed out an utterly destructive aura! 20 Maximos Sparks were consumed.

Overlord Shrine buffed all missiles before they shot toward the inactive guardian boss!

*Swoosh… Swoosh… Swoosh…*

But Arkhen didn't stop!

He created five cannons by imagining them as they materialized beside him! 15 Maximos Sparks consumed!

*Boom!… Boom!… Boom!…*

After the Guardian Boss suffered damage from the missile, the five cannons unleashed cannonballs condensed with dark lightning to the brim!

All cannonballs hit the guardian boss and suffered damage before it angrily roared and created colorful clouds in the sky!

All colorful clouds produced colorful bolts of lightning as they shot toward Arkhen!

"Damn!" Arkhen was startled at such an attack. He quickly used the <Aegis of Life Coversion> skill to defend!

The four orbs released their powers as Arkhen willed to create a barrier around him instead of the usual shields.

While his barrier was blocking the constant bombardment of colorful lightning strikes, Arkhen grinned and used all the remaining Maximos Sparks to create his strongest attack so far!

He created… a pistole with one bullet. That one bullet was fully condensed with the power of all remaining Maximos Sparks!

Then, he used order force to create an order of multiplication in the bullet!

However, he failed as the order force dispersed and returned inside him.

'I guess I need more order force to create the order of multiplication,' Arkhen thought as he consumed 25% of soul energy to execute the <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen> and conjured another Overlord Shrine.

He buffed the bullet with it!

Now that he got more order force by consuming an additional 25% of his soul energy, he created the order of multiplication again and…

It worked!

An excited glint flashed through Arkhen's eyes as he pointed the pistol at the Guardian Boss!

*Roarr!*

The guardian boss roared by opening its square mouth with sharp cone-shaped teeth and unleashed another attack!

Powerful winds! Dark, green, golden, and all kinds of wings with various attributes produced before they formed a tornado!

The colorful clouds in the sky infused into the tornado as it transformed into a full-blown tornado storm!

"What the fuck?" Arkhen was dumbfounded. The magnitude and power of that attack were….

Obliterating!

He felt doubtful about his pistole. Would it be able to go past the incoming storm and destroy the guardian boss?

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

'Wish I could see the precise power level of everything like in dragon ball Z,' Arkhen thought.

[ I can create such a device; such devices are also used in higher realms].

'Can my barrier defend me against the incoming tornado storm?' Arkhen asked.

[Nope. But you won't die, if you know what I mean].

Arkhen raised his eyebrows before a maddening gleam passed through his eyes. "Hahaha, alright! Let's do it!"

Two seconds later, the tornado storm hit him as it stopped moving further after it covered Arkhen at its center.

The barrier was being shredded with countless lightning and wind slashes.

"It's going to mess me…." Arkhen muttered as he looked at the horrifying storm surrounding him. He was at the center of it! No doubt, if the barrier around him magically disappeared, he would die in a few seconds!

While the barrier was absorbing the damage and turning it into a healing force, Arkhen was focusing on the structure of the bullet so that he could infuse chaos force in it.

He didn't get any chaos force yet, but he would get it…soon.

*Crack!*

The barrier finally reached its limit as it started cracking after five seconds!

Two seconds later, the barrier completely burst into pieces and dispersed as the brutal bolts of lightning and winds in the storm started striking him!

He quickly directed healing force from the orb towards him as the skin layer of his body was shredded in a second. He turned completely red from his own blood!

He reached the capacity of chaos force in a second!

"Arghh! Fuck!" Arkhen cursed, but he endured the shredding of his bones and lightning strikes jolting his wounds. He was healed quickly because of the healing force and also infused the entirety of his chaos force into the bullet!

The pistol was starting to tremble after that! Without further, Arkhen pointed it at the Guardian Boss while staying amidst this storm and…

*Bam!*

*Shot!*

Everything stilled for a second as the bullet left the pistole! Right after leaving the pistol's barrel, it turned into two bullets containing utter destruction in them!

*Swooosh!*

The storm dispersed from the sheer force of the two bullets as a deafening boom reverberated in the atmosphere!

In the next second, those two bullets hit the Guardian Boss!

"Take it," Arkhen grinned while fully covered in blood.

*Crrrrrrrrrrrr!!*

After the bullets hit the guardian boss, a giant sphere of dark lightning exploded and swallowed the guardian boss entirely!

Not even a piece of its tiny cube remained in existence!

[That was indeed your most powerful attack to date].

Arkhen lay on the giant twig as he took a deep breath, but he was soon surprised. His utterly injured body was recovering faster than usual!

[That is because of the Mythic-grade bloodline. Every bloodline's primary function is the natural healing factor. The higher the grade, the higher the natural healing factor. You can even speed up your recovery by consuming some blood essence].

'Nice! How much blood essence do I need now to recover myself fully? Is 30,000 enough?' Arkhen asked since he used 70,000 Blood Essence to use that Maximos Exoplimos ability.

[23,480 Blood Essence].

Arkhen consumed the blood essence to boost his healing without hesitation. It was better than consuming reality motes.

After ten seconds, he fully recovered!

"Now, time to check the notifications," Arkhen said as he looked at the notifications.

[Congratulations! You have succeeded in occupying the Afraya Tree region!]

[Congratulations! You have unlocked Elemental Ruins!]

[One Supreme boost gained].

"So, where is this new facility?" Arkhen asked.

[Inside the tree, haha. There are entrances into the giant trunk of this tree everywhere, except here on the top; you have to go down a bit].

Arkhen flew down a bit and stood in front of the trunk while standing on a branch. When he neared the trunk, he saw a large door forming with various colorful symbols.

Fire symbol

Vanquish Symbol

Ki Symbol

Chaos Symbol

Order Symbol

Dark Symbol

Lightning Symbol

Blood Symbol

Light Symbol

Water Symbol

Wood Symbol

Eschew Symbol

[The new elemental ruins will be added as you and members of Mystic Wonderland awakens their affinities].

Arkhen nodded and grinned. "I thought I had to pay to unlock the ruins."

"You can access the ruins and comprehend the respective affinity inside without paying. But if you pay for a boost, the ruin will be enhanced, allowing you to progress faster in the respective affinity.

"I see. So I got one free boost after defeating that guardian boss. Alright, let's see the cost," Arkhen said as he opened the window panel of this facility.

"Damn, so the supreme boost I got cost that much?"

[Better save it to use on a level 2 affinity. Also, a dream fragment appeared. Need to purify it fast]

"Then let's go out, hahaha. It's time to meet the girls and continue my alchemy sprint."

…

After coming out of Mystic Wonderland, he was startled to see Meya, Sierra, Sasha, and two more unfamiliar people in the room.

"Ah, he appeared. I told you he would appear sooner or later," Meya said with a grin.

"What is that sorcery?" Yosin asked with intense curiosity in his eyes.

"It seems you have a unique artifact with a mini-world. I only heard about them in legends, but they are available in higher realms," Tifani said. Curiosity was also visible in her eyes as she looked at Arkhen.

"Arkhen. She is my sister, Tifani. And this here is the Crown Prince of this empire," Sasha said with a smile as she introduced Tifani and Yosin.

"Hi," Yosin said while grinning. "Let's have a battle in the arena."

Hearing him, Sierra, Meya, Sasha, and Tifani looked at him with speechless expressions.
