Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Chapter 256 Accidental Completion, Entering The Final Floor



"Yep, I am sure. In my 2nd attempt in the 3rd trial, I encountered some ghost-type monsters and used that method to kill them," Sierra replied with a sharp grin. "It feels a bit strange when our fists hit them, but it's strangely good. Hahaha."

*Screeeeeee!*

The moment they arrived on the 2nd floor's lobby through the stairs, they saw five ghostly monsters with red eyes, big heads, and four hands standing there. Their bodies were glowing with the same color as the fog, and they instantly attacked Arkhen and Sierra.

Arkhen and Sierra infused soul energy into their fists and dashed forward!

Arkhen's physical combat was at its peak, as usual. At the moment, it was even more so since he gained Absolute Mastery over his bodily prowess.

The five ghosts were killed in a matter of three seconds before Arkhen and Sierra suddenly saw blood-red footsteps appearing on the floor.

Those footsteps started moving towards a corridor.

"I guess we follow them," Arkhen said.

"Yep."

Arkhen and Sierra followed in the footsteps in the corridor before they stopped in front of big doors.

Opening, the doors, they entered a hall. Surprisingly, the bear beastkin group was already in the hall.

"Yo. This labyrinth floor seems bullcrap. Those ghosts were too easy, right? Hahaha," said the bear beastkin leader laughingly as he turned to Arkhen and Sierra.

"Yeah. Very easy," Arkhen grinned.

Soon, they saw the elf man's group entering the hall before the rest of the people also arrived. None of them died. All twenty-seven people who were present in the first floor's hall also arrived on the 2nd floor's hall.

[My lord. There's some problem. Something is wrong among those who arrived at last. That group of seven people consisting of four humans and three orcs].

'What? I don't sense anything unusual,' Arkhen replied confusedly.

[I can't tell exactly, but I feel something is wrong. I think we will see soon].

The countdown of ten seconds once again appeared at the center of the floor.

However, once this countdown turned zero. The new doors didn't open. Instead, the ceiling of the floor opened a hole and a signal stair conjured at the center of the hall that connected to that hole.

"Now there is a single stair only. Heh," the elf man said as he smirked at the bear beastkin leader and started walking at the stairs to climb it. His group also followed him.

'We'll go last,' Arkhen sent a telepathic thought to Sierra before he glanced at the group pointed out by Sierra.

In the end, all groups were left one by one except for that group of seven consisting of humans and orcs.

"What are you waiting for?" asked a man from that group as he looked at Arkhen and Sierra. He had short black hair and wore a brown robe.

"You go first," Arkhen said with a faint smile.

"It seems that you also got a ghost task plate," the two-meter-tall orc said as he grinned. "What's the task?"

Arkhen and Sierra were startled but didn't show it. They decided to play along.

"You show first," Sierra said.

"Hahaha. Alright," the man said with a laugh as he took out a square stone slate with glowing ghostly words carved on it.

[You must enter the second floor at last. Reward: a random treasure chest]

"Now you know why we stayed behind. So, what is your task?"

"Actually, we didn't get any ghost task plate," Arkhen said with a wry smile as he walked towards the stair. "Oh well, let's hope we get it on the next floor."

Arkhen and Sierra climbed the stairs, but after they left, the group of seven people in the hall turned strange.

Their appearance started shifting as large creepy wide smiles appeared on their faces. They were ghosts!

...

After Arkhen and Sierra climbed the stairs, they arrived on an open ground floor with the grassy ground.

The other groups were also there.

Soon, the ghost group also arrived, and right after they entered, the fog became thick such that it severely limited everyone's vision!

Arkhen and Sierra quickly grabbed each other's hands.

*Screeeeeee...*

A creepy shriek reverberate before ghosts started appearing out of nowhere!

Alas, the situation quickly turned chaotic!

The bright lights of the bright energy attack were several dimmed here! Moreover, they also couldn't see clearly because of the mysterious thick fog!

The result? The groups were injured by attacks released from other groups in attempts to kill the fast-moving ghosts with long nail claws!

"Fuck! Stop attacking and just defend!"

"Hahaha! Dream on! Just fucking kill all ghosts and survive. If you can't survive, it's your fault! Kill all ghosts, Yalas!"

"Hou!"

Arkhen and Sierra were also attacked because they had already defended themselves. Arkhen conjured several layers of force fields while Sierra used her defense-type skill, Aquatic Prism Barrier.

"Those little shits. They are purposefully using other attacks in an attempt to kill others when it's clear that only spirit energy-based and soul energy-based attacks hurt those ghosts," Arkhen said scornfully as a cold glint passed through his eyes. "I'll give them the same present."

"Then I'll kill the ghosts," Sierra said as she punched another ghost that appeared within ten meters of them. The barrier and force fields also blocked ten meters of the area around them.

If any ghost spawned inside or came after passing through their barriers, Sierra killed them.

On the other hand, Arkhen snapped his finger and muttered, "Let's lighten up this place with Infernal Star-Fall."

He also buffed the skill using the Overlord shrine of the <Melferious Shrine Tree, Jiragen> skill.

Everyone saw the place getting brightener due to the burning star conjuring in the sky with energy readings that made them shat and piss their pants!

"W-Who the fuck is that? Stop it!"

"Defend!"

The star fell like a rocket, but the group of ghosts was not worried since they were ghosts and primal energy-based attacks wouldn't hurt them.

Alas...

*BOOOOOM...*

The Infernal Star-Fall bought devastation to the whole backyard-like place and surprisingly, all ghosts died!

Arkhen was surprised to see the ghosts who were entering the force field suddenly bring burned to ash motes by the intense fire produced by the blast.

"I thought that wouldn't kill them," Sierra said in confusion.

"I also thought the same, but... I think I know why this attack also worked on them," Arkhen said as he smiled and continued, "It's because I buffed the skill with my other skill."

"That tree and shrine skill? Yeah, it was exuding some unique kind of affinity and you used soul energy to execute it," Sierra said as she nodded in understanding.

"Yep."

[The undercover ghosts who were going to sneakily kill you one by one died. Challenge over.]

Everyone saw the red-colored challenge over in the air after Arkhen's attack. Well, Everyone as in...only 3 people aside from Arkhen and Sierra was left alive.

The other three people were actually half dead and were trying to recover while cursing in their heads.

'I guess that group of seven people were ghosts.'

[Yep]

"Let's move, Sierra."

Sierra and Arkhen saw the entrance to the 7th floor of the labyrinth appearing after the fog subsided and walked towards it before entering.

...

9th labyrinth floor...

"Finally, we have gold-grade personal treasure chests. It took longer this time compared to when I adventured in the tier-3 labyrinth," Arkhen said while surrounded by a bunch of giant dead harpy monsters. "Anyway, the next floor is likely the final floor."

"Yep. Also, I am opening this one," Sierra said as she walked towards the golden treasure chest that dropped after they killed the ten meters giant harpy boss.
