Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

"Attack!" Gereld shouted as his daggers glowed before he slashed them towards the dragon, shooting two sparkling icy blade projectiles towards the beast.

Arkhen looked at the dragon's Life and saw that Gereld's attack only reduced its Life by a measly 47,547.

'A full-powered attack of Gereld dealt only that much damage? Holy smokes!' Arkhen was dumbfounded.

However, the dragon still lost over 200k Life since many attacks hit it.

Such damage angered the dragon as it roared furiously and dark ashen clouds started forming in the air over the entire area before ambers started sparking in them.

"A large one is coming. Everyone stack your defenses," Jeizy said as he created a barrier.

Baloth, Farin, Gereld, and Yeezy also used their main defense-type skills.

Baloth created shield-shaped projectiles on the top, Farin created a prism barrier, Gereld also created a round dark green barrier, while Yeezy created a dark brown square shield on top of Jiezy's shield.

"I'll add mine too," Arkhen said with a grin as he snapped his finger and created 200 layers of force fields in the next three seconds.

"Force fields?" Yeezy was surprised. Arkhen revealed this for the first time. "Do you have space affinity?"

"Nope," Arkhen shook his head.

"If you had, these force fields would become so much stronger," Yeezy said with pity in her voice.

The potent ember rain was falling from the clouds as the dragon channeled its power into the clouds for the attack.

Everyone was doing their best to defend, but Arkhen saw a group not being able to hold back as their defenses melted!

"Arghhh, NOOOO!"

Death cries resounded as four people died in seconds.

"That's the result if you come with a weak group," Baloth said with a sigh. "It's a tier-3 labyrinth. Although people of 2nd class and below can enter, they need the protection of powerful 3rd class powerhouses to survive."

"They courted death. Simple as that," Farin said indifferently.

"Their luck was also bad. Not all field beasts have such powerful area attacks. Some weak groups try their luck to pass the first floor so they can just roam on the 2nd floor for some reward and then leave," Yeezy said with a sigh. "Alas, the weaker groups in this area are unfortunate to have encountered this dragon field beast."

Arkhen saw several more people dying in the next five seconds and looked at these cards.

'Let's try it,' Arkhen thought as he looked at one of the three Metamorphic cards he drew.

[Butterfly Dust Card]

-Effect: Transform a target into a butterfly. Size is reduced depending on the power gap between you and the target.

-Adverse Effect: The butterfly flapping its wings would release magical specks of dust. If people inhaled these specks of dust, it would make people sleepy and lose focus for a few seconds.

-Note: The transformation duration depends on the overall power gap between you and the target.

In the next second, clouds disappeared, and the dragon roared, releasing its deadly dragon breath towards a group while everyone continued attacking.

"Everyone! Unleash your most powerful attacks after exactly 3 seconds," Arkhen said as he held the card in his hand and locked it onto the dragon. "Get ready for your attacks!"

"What do you mean?" Farin asked with confusion.

"Just aim your most powerful attacks at the dragon after three seconds!" Arkhen said in a stern voice as he also prepared thousands of Slaughter Blades in the sky.

"Two! One!"

*Swoosh…*

The card from Arkhen's hand disappeared while Gereld and others also unleashed their most powerful attacks.

'I wonder if the transformation will also reduce that dragon's Life,' Arkhen thought as a tiny light hit the dragon first, covering it into a white cloud before it dispersed and revealed a big butterfly.

However, in the next half a second, the powerful attacks of Gereld and others also hit the butterfly along with Arkhen's Slaughter Blades that he had unleashed right after activating his card.

Arkhen's gaze was fixed on the beast as he wanted to see the status of the dragon after it transformed.

-Life: 2,524,475/2,524,475

'It really reduced!' Arkhen thought as all attacks hit the butterfly. But not even a second later, the butterfly turned back into the dragon.

The transformation didn't even last one full second!

However, the dragon Life was reduced to 1,897,652!!

Everyone was shocked to see the dragon becoming way more injured!

"Damn, how?!"

"What the hell just happened?"

The dragon was also confused and angry as it roared and started flying around the area while dropping destructive fireballs like it turned mad!

"Fuck! Now it's even harder to hit it! Everyone, predict its course and unleash your attacks. You can see that it's attacking in zig-zag patterns!"

On the other hand, Gereld and others looked at Arkhen with a dumbfounded expression.

"You did that, right?" Baloth asked with wide eyes.

"Yep. Ready your attacks. We are going to unleash one more," Arkhen said with a grin as he drew a card from the Status effect deck and pulled it out along with another Metamorphic card.

[Pigeon Egg Blast]

-Effect: Transform a target into a pigeon. Size is reduced depending on the power gap between you and the target.

-Adverse Effect: The pigeon will drop a potent egg bomb that deals damage according to the target's EP in a moderately large area.

-Note: The transformation duration depends on the overall power gap between you and the target.

[Power Reduction]

-Effect: Reduce the target's EP by 20% and Strength by 25%.

-Note: Duration of the effect depends on the overall power gap between you and the target.

"Ready to attack after three seconds," Arkhen said.

But right after that, they saw two fireballs coming at them.

"Let me," Arkhen said as he waved his hand and unleashed Wrathful Dragon Avatar in front of the fireballs.

*BOOM…*

The stored dragon avatar was destroyed along with the fireballs. He actually wanted to destroy the Avatar since it was the weaker version that he summoned previously. After all, he couldn't fill Archion Burst while a dragon avatar was active or stored, so he decided to get rid of this old Wrathful Dragon Avatar.

"The surprise you are giving are shocking but pleasant ones, hahaha," Gereld said with a laugh.

"Ready to attack!" Arkhen said with a grin. "Three! Two!…"

"One!!"

Both cards from Arkhen's hands disappeared before directly hitting the dragon.

*Poof!*

A cloud appeared, but before it dispersed, several powerful attacks hit it along with a shower of Slaughter Blades from Arkhen.

Half a second later, the giant Pigeon that other people couldn't even see properly turned back into the dragon with even more injuries.

It couldn't even drop the egg during transformation because the transformation was just too short. Only 0.5 seconds.

People were once again surprised at the dragon becoming even more injured.

After several seconds, it was on the verge of death, and at that time, Arkhen grinned and activated the most powerful effect of his weapon and his most powerful attack to date!

The oblivion guage was filled since he hit lots of attacks on the dragon with his slaughter blades through his weapon.

———> Oblivion Gauge: [1000/1000], Oblivion Slash: A slash of any size you will (maximum size: 10,000 meters wide, either horizontally or vertically.) This slash will ignore all obstacles for 5 seconds and pass through them or until it reaches the target you locked on to deal damage according to your EP. This slash will also ignore all forms of defense of the opponent.

"I'll finish it off," Arkhen said as he waved his hand, releasing the Oblivion Slash!

Everyone saw a giant 100 meters long dark silver slash shooting toward the bloodied dragon on the verge of death.

The slash was super fast and it sliced the dragon into two in the next second since its defenses and Life were almost nonexistent.

Its scaly body was injured, and it also couldn't reinforce its organs and internals through its power anymore. So with how low its Life was, Arkhen's Oblivion Slash killed it!

[48 reality motes gained]

Everyone cheered loudly at the fall of the dragon!

Its beast core shined brightly and shot towards the river before cracking it open and revealing a giant deep hole with mysterious sparky mist covering it!

"Passage to the 2nd floor is open! Let's go!"

"Hooooooooo!!"

"Whoever that used that transformation power! Thanks a bunch!"

Everyone shouted and cheered while rushing towards the passage to the 2nd floor.
