Chapter 295 Torture, Anger, Girls, And Zoe & Evelyn

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and those five people returned to see Arkhen's status.

However, all they saw was Arkhen sleeping with his eyes closed while those ice shards continued to torture him with injury and a healing cycle!

"Is he sleeping?" One of them muttered with doubt.

"He is not dead, that's for sure. Humph," a woman's sharp voice rang out as she snorted and waved her hand to make the icy cloud disappear.

A second after that, they saw Arkhen opening his eyes and looking at them with the utmost calmness, like a dead still pond without any ripples.

"Level up the torture. It's clear that he won't hand over the reality token as it is," another womanly voice rang out, a sweet melodious type. However, her words were anything but sweet.

"Since he tasted ice, then…" a man said before he waved his hand and created a volcanic dirt material before burying Arkhen in it.

His entire body, except his head, got buried inside volcanic dirt with red-orange vein patterns.

Afterward, the man snapped his finger as Arkhen suddenly felt a burst of pain covering his entire body, and his outer layer of skin burned to crips.

"Urghh…" Despite himself, Arkhen let out an involuntary grunt of pain before he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

However, the vein-like patterns suddenly glowed as a lava-like substance entered his body before spreading slowly and injuring him.

'FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!' Arkhen screamed in his head as his bones, organs, and flesh were seeped by that scorching lava lines, and that too, slowly, so as to maximize the pain inflicted on Arkhen.

"Not so calm anymore, eh?"

"Milus, add some healing power as well. We don't want him dead for now. Haha, he'll suffer torture until he gives up."

They saw Arkhen's eye turning red and his expression twisting with anger.

[My lord, should I turn off your pain receptors?]

' No!' Arkhen rejected the idea and closed his eyes while bearing the pain. 'I'll fucking bear this! As long as I don't die, I'll fucking endure anything!'

[B-But…this will mentally affect you]

'And I won't let it affect me, which is what I want,' Arkhen started thinking of his happy times, his moments with his girls.

'Velshi. I missed Zoe's and Evelyn's first trial, but I'll attend the others' first trial. Instead of an imaginary Arkhen, can you put my real consciousness in the first trial?'

[I can do that]

' Good. Then I'll participate in the trial instead of being a spectator. The next one will be… Grace, my blondie aunt,' Arkhen grinned as he remembered about her. The pain was still seeping into every part of his body, but he wanted to endure it despite that.

…

"Arkhen…" Luna's eyes were dripping with tears. Not just her but all girls were silently crying as they saw the current situation of Arkhen.

Sierra's eyes were red with fury and tears as she said, "Let's continue!"

"I'll kill everyone related to them," Meya muttered with a crazy light in her tearful red eyes.

Velshi also closed the cloudy projection as she said, [Arkhen doesn't know I was showing you the whole thing. But I wanted to show you what he is going through at the moment]

[He will bear their torture and hellish pain until you all become sufficiently powerful and save him]

"Velshi, can't you increase Dream Fragment's spawn rate?" Luna asked while clenching her teeth. "We will fight as many as you bring us and progress."

"That's right," Sasha said with a determined expression.

[Sorry, girls. Only one dream fragment a day for now. More will appear as you purify more dream fragments and when the system levels up]

"Got it. Everyone, let's continue practicing our combat ability while waiting for the next Dream Fragment," Sierra said.

[I have prepared an alarm for each of you. It's connected to your minds, and whenever it rings in your heads, you have to stop doing any activity and go to sleep.]

[A rest to mind and body is a must]

The girls nodded before they started sparring against each other.

…

Ten days later, Zoe and Evelyn appeared in Mystic Wonderland while Sierra, Luna, Meya, and Sasha were inside a dream fragment.

They appeared within Skill Pavilion and saw a beautiful scene all around through the open pavilion and two tigers slumbering on a unique marble floor ground outside the pavilion.

"Where are we?" Zoe said as she curiously looked around with her cute expression.

"Where is brother Arkhen?" Evelyn questioned.

Both looked eighteen years old but were twenty-one years old in age.

After Nirvana Awakening, Zoe and Evelyn became 10/10 charm cute beauties while possessing hot figures they inherited from their mother.

Naturally, both of them appeared naked!

Zoe had a cute innocent face, light pale skin tone, long silver-white hair ponytail, beautiful emerald eyes, and plump D-cup breasts with cute pink nipples.

Evelyn had a face that screamed mischievous, light-brown skin tone, short brown-black hair ponytail, blue eyes, and boobs the same size as Zoe's. But the cherries on her watermelons were a bit dark pink.

However, there was one more thing present on them. A single horn on each of their heads! Zoe had a horn on the left part of her head, while Evelyn had a horn on the right part of her head. The horns were curvy and demonic, but they enhanced their beauty even more since the horns had a beautiful structure and simple layered patterns that added sexiness to the girls.

"Jeez, we don't even have clothes here," Evelyn wryly smiled as she covered her breasts with one hand and her crotch with another.

But suddenly, both got a t-shirt and shorts over their body, and on top of that, a long coat also covered them before Velshi appeared in front of them.

[Hello, girls. First of all, I am Arkhen's companion. Second, It will be a long story, so sit down and listen carefully]

Zoe and Evelyn were startled to see a ball with cute big eyes and wings appearing in front of them.

Zoe looked at her outfit and then at Velshi, "What is this fashion sense? A black t-shirt, jeans shorts, and a long coat?"

"Might as well give us a cap and a pipe so that we can become like modern steampunk detective hybrid," Evelyn said as she rolled her eyes.

"Hahaha, you two haven't changed."

Suddenly, both girls heard Arkhen's laugh behind them, causing their hearts to beat wildly while their faces turned red.

"Brother Arkhen!"

Both girls turned around and saw Arkhen before they rushed forward to hug him with excited and happy expressions, but…

They passed through Arkhen's body.

"T-This?"

Zoe and Evelyn were startled.

In Arkhen's mind, he could see Zoe and Evelyn through a cloudy screen that Velshi created for him, while Velshi created a realistic projection model of his, to which he could connect his consciousness without leaving his body.

'Velshi, since my projection here is ready, then call other girls when they come out of Dream Fragment.'

[Yes, my lord. Task 1: Make something that would allow you to interact with your girls. Completed.]

It cost over a thousand reality essence and thirty thousand reality motes, but the projection that Arkhen could control to speak, move, and interact with people was completed.

Unfortunately, he couldn't touch or feel them physically.

"Brother Arkhen, what's going on? What is this place?"

"You know, we almost lost you in the first trial and felt like we died while living," Zoe said with a sad pout. "Where are you? We want to meet you and embrace you right now!"

Evelyn reputedly nodded with slightly red eyes as she also missed Arkhen so much. "Come to us!"

Arkhen wryly smiled at his two little sisters, cough… step sisters.

"Velshi, show and tell them from the start."

[Yes, my lord]
