Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

[2 reality points gained]

After killing Firefury, Arkhen looked at the army of warriors and five angels before speaking with an indifferent expression, "If you want to enter the reincarnation cycle, then come at me."

Without saying anything more, Arkhen flew towards the river of souls where Sierra's soul was flowing somewhere in it and moving towards a giant mountain.

…

In the main gathering hall of heavenly lords, 32 heavenly lords were gathered together.

"We can't let him kill more of us. Let's just let him take that one soul."

"No. We can't let him do that. If we break the law by not even trying to obstruct him, we will be cursed and punished."

"We might be able to kill him if all of us join hands together but…"

"No, I won't join. He will at least take out some of us even if we attack him together. I don't want to die."

"Then we only have one choice…"

"Sigh. Call the aid."

…

Arkhen didn't encounter any trouble in the next ten minutes, and he safely reached the river of souls flowing towards a giant heavenly mountain.

There was a big palace on top of the mountain. From the other side of the palace, another river of souls was also flowing upward in the black sky towards a gigantic faint image of a whirlpool circle with seven sections.

But it appeared that the circle was not present in this dimension as only a faint image of it was visible, and the river of souls also turned faint when reaching there.

'Where is her soul?'

[34 reality points deducted]

[My lord, I created an arrow in front of you. Please follow it as it will lead to you Sierra's soul]

Arkhen indeed saw a starry blue arrow and followed it.

After five minutes, he flew on top of the river of souls as he saw so many white balls A.K.A souls, flowing in the river.

Arkhen followed the arrow and soon found Sierra's soul. He also sensed a familiar presence from a ball of white with a faint image of Sierra's face in it.

A smile appeared on Arkhen's face as he flew towards the soul. "Found you."

However…. Just as he was going to grab her soul, it flew past his hand as if someone pulled it and flew on top of the giant heavenly mountain.

Arkhen's face turned dark as he knew someone was obstructing him again.

'Who was that?' Arkhen asked while flying towards the mountain.

[My lord… I can't give my opinion on the matter yet except that you must be careful after entering the mountain]

Arkhen was surprised, but his speed didn't decrease as he strongly flapped his wings and arrived top of the mountain.

Soon, he saw Sierra's soul inside a small open-air pavilion in a small courtyard one hundred meters away from the giant palace.

Her soul was floating on top of a kotatsu table and an old man with a long black beard was sitting at the table with a smile.

He didn't look fleshy as his body had a dreamy white border and his body was also not perfectly physical.

Arkhen flew towards the pavilion but stopped in front of the table. He didn't attempt to grab the soul as he narrowed his eyes at the old and sat down at the table. "I want her."

"That, I know," the old man said with a smile.

'Velshi, his status.'

|???|

Stamina: 980

Strength: 989

Agility: 994

Soul: 865

-EP: 985,156

—> Mana: [10,000,000/10,000,000]

———> Holy Mana: [9,000,000/9,000,000]

[My lord. He is a divine being of the heaven dimension in the 1st realm. Naturally, he still can't use his full power displayed in the status, but he has certain leverage here. It will be difficult]

"Since you didn't attack me directly, I guess you have something to talk about," Arkhen said with a calm expression. "What do I need to do to get back her soul?"

"You can't get her soul," the old man shook his head before faintly smiling.

"The soul must go through that cycle of reincarnation. However, I have taken a liking to this soul, and I plan to reincarnate it into an angel baby in the 1st realm. She will grow up the become an Arch Angel. The first realm is vastly different than the gravel realm. So, you can come to heaven dimension there and take her after impressing her," the old man finished speaking before he took a sip from the teacup on the table.

Arkhen clenched his fist as a stubborn light lit up in his eyes, "Don't mess with me. After going through that reincarnation cycle, she will become a different person with a different personality!"

"I will use my authority and keep her current personality and everything the same. Only her memories will be wiped out."

"I promised her that I will take her back!" Arkhen coldly hissed through his gritted teeth. 'Velshi, can I use reality points to trap him for some time while I escape with Sierra's soul?'

[Possible, but you must engage in deadly combat first and lead him away from Sierra's soul. During the fight, I will design a domain cage that can trap him while you can take her soul and escape, though it will roughly cost 1 million reality points]

'Got it.'

"How about we have a 1v1 dual? If I win, you will let me take back her soul," Arkhen said with a cold grin plastered on his face. "Or are you not confident?"

"Hahaha, I don't know what plan you have, but this old man values his strength and self-esteem high," the old man said as he laughed loudly. "If you can win against this avatar of mine, then sure. You can take her soul back."

Arkhen flew out of the open-air pavilion and went one kilometer away from it.

The old man also followed Arkhen after creating a small cubic barrier around Sierra's soul.

Arkhen noticed that. 'Velshi.'

[No worries. I can spend 100,000 reality points to erase that cubic barrier's reality]

"You can attack first, kiddo," the old man said after stopping twenty meters away from Arkhen. He caressed his beard with a playful smile on his face.

Arkhen conjured <Domain: Twilight Curtain> as it enveloped both of them before he pointed his dragon blade hand at the old man and released the <Piercing Rain Blades> from the blade.

However, the old man just grinned as his body blurred.

*Smack!*

The old man appeared on the left side of Arkhen and punched him with his fist that shone with a golden hue.

Arkhen puked blood with a few teeth breaking as he flew out of the domain. He barely stopped himself by flapping his wings. The shockwave of the punch still damaged him despite the punch hitting his draconic head gear that covered his face.

After spatting blood, with an angry expression, he quickly flew back into the domain.

'Is the domain not working on him?'

[It is affecting him, but he is like resisting 90% of its potency and the remaining 10% is not bothering him]

"Come on, I will only counter-attack," the old man said with a grin as he bared his upper body and tied his robe at his waist. His body was glowing with faint gold, while dark gold patterns also appeared on his body like some bad-ass tattoos.

[My lord. The skill rank difference will be difficult because he is using skills of the 1st realm. Moreover, the one he is currently using is an Esoteric Combat Art. My lord, you must see through his attack patterns. Focus, my lord!]

Arkhen took a deep breath and calmed down as he knew he must remain calm in the difficult times.

The old man was playing with him, but he must use that to his advantage!
