As the group entered through the dimensional bubble displaying ruins of Fallen Aeon Stars, they soon found themselves amidst massive broken buildings gladdened with overgrown exotic greenery in all directions.
[Reach the Saturation Point by acquiring resources within the ruined dwellings to unearth the nexus of this ruin for the most important reward of Fallen Aeon Star Ruins.]
Giant flowers, twisted trees, and gleaming meadows weaved through massive buildings, some pulsing with power, while some were deafeningly silent.
The whole group of 110 people stood on the ground over a ruined dwelling that looked like a pointy-headed structure hundreds of meters tall with symbolic carvings. It was broken and demolished, creating big gaps of entry, each one oozing ever-flowing colorful sparks taking shapes of exotic flowers from within.
To their left was another ruined dwelling, looking like the massive metallic head of a three-eyed being, bald head, and pyramid-style 6 dots on their forehead. It was roughly a kilometer tall, and the giant head’s eyes were staring at them.
One was intact, the other had a hole, from which eerie whispers undeniably entered everyone’s ears.
Similarly, all around them were eccentric giant ruined dwellings, each one hiding resources.
Suddenly, Joran pointed his palm at Admiral Rudra’s feet and released an orb, which instantly exploded.
Everyone was startled, but as the dust settled rather instantly, they saw that Admiral Rudra was completely fine.
“As you can see, our attacks do not work against each other. They will only work when we are in a duel against Monsters or against each other,” Joran said. “From hereon, we can explore the ruins in small groups or solo, but whoever spots the resources first would get to have the chance to get it first. If they fail, the second one to look at the resource would get the challenge.”
“There’s one more thing,” Joran added with a smile. “Another person can challenge you to a duel while you are fighting a Monster. Whether to accept it to make it a Monster-less duel or not is up to the challenged.”
“Sounds perfect,” Kexell laughed out loud. “That’s more fun.”
“There are hundreds of ruins here, so making a group is not advisable it seems,” Krala said as fifty metallic-winged ethereal eyes spread out.
“So, we just need to clear these ruined dwellings by acquiring resources from within. But, judging by the orderic auras from them, each ruined dwelling has only one resource,” a blue-scaled Supreme Emperor with twisting long horns spoke as he looked at the giant head.
“There will be changes to this dimension as we clear the ruined dwellings,” Joran said. “For now, we just need to start clearing them and get resources.”
“Everyone,” Admiral Rudra said as he looked at the Regalons. “Go solo, earn yourself resources, and be responsible for your life.”
25 High Mortals of House of Regalon consisted of all old monsters, grim breakers, and some Guild masters. They were the strongest among High-Mortals.
Among the Immortal-rank powerhouses, Admiral Rudra, Victor Volkov, Bianca Moretti, Silvester Duncan, Hiroshi Ryugiri, Zauna Okoro, and Arjun Maheshwar were old monsters.
The remaining Immortals were Natalia, Marcus, Maya, Emma, Kira, and Noah.
The only Immortal King they had was Kexell the Disaster Dragon.
They lacked one to fill the 15th slot of Immortal ranks, but on the other hand, for giving up nine slots of Immortal Kings and one slot of Immortal, they were given six spots of Immortal Emperors instead of five.
One more than the other party.
Those six Immortal Emperors were Asura, the Demonic Throne of Death.
Meliora, the Elixir of Chaos.
Nyssara, the Wintersun of Apocalypse.
Galvaren, the Warring Skylord Tyrant.
Ashkar, the Infernal Knight of Doom.
And lastly, Krala the Raging Temporal Fortress.
As the powerhouses scattered away, each one had an ethereal eye following them, possibly the strongest powerhouse in this chaotic dimension.
Ramonia, the Exalted Ocularist.
She was here as an observer and streamer of the battles for the audience. As such, it could be said that the Trelfjor clan only brought three Immortal Emperors here.
“User interface, activating,” Romania spoke as her ocean-blue eyes flickered.
All across the second layer, people began watching the 110 sections of streams in displays with a U.I. to give them control over which screen to watch in big size, and what bets to place.
The bets would be placed via a spatial function that could open up from whatever device they were using to watch the stream, so all the bettings were not digital, but physical and authentic, and people could bet with anything of value, not just Arcane Crystals.
But there was one feature only available to the spectators of Arcadia Spectrum—Creating a challenging task.
“Hey, that girl already found the resource from the giant head!”
“So fast? Didn’t she just fly all the way in without looking and stop?”
Suddenly, more of the audience converged on Natalia’s stream.
“What kind of luck is that?”
“The fight started!”
Natalia was really lucky, and she used it. But she wasn’t expecting to succeed in one try.
She just decided to on a random number between 5 to 10, choosing 7 in the end, and flying for 7 seconds at her full speed randomly before stopping.
Viola, in front of her, was a chaotic amalgamation of semi-liquid, semi-metallic stuff stuck on the wall, and within it was a strange round object with a checks-mark, looking metallic while growing a finger-sized flower atop it.
Natalia looked at it, and the moment she sensed its energy, she got a notification.
[Would you like to accept the challenge to win this Spheric Bloomvein Flower? Ingesting this flower can increase your Body Constitution by 100 regardless of your rank.]
‘What?’ Natalia’s eyes popped up as she read the reward.
An increase of 100 Body Constitutions regardless of the rank was crazy, especially considering the fact that it got harder and harder to increase it at higher ranks, requiring more resources.
Natalia and other Regalons at Immortal rank would have to spend multiple days in Vitalis Crucible Tower to get an increase of 100 in Body Constitution.
Without hesitation, Natalia accepted the challenge and a pulse spread out from the resource, creating a mini-dimension of just clouds and thundering skies in which Natalia appeared.
In front of her, a four-meter-tall demonic humanoid with wings, a tail, and holding a hammer manifested, his outward fangs gleaming as he grinned at Natalia.
This monster had matching stats as Natalia in her peak form by scanning her memories and also having a combat arsenal with ability power matching her.
Natalia crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing as seven different types of instruments manifested around her.
Two Drums, Guitar, Piano, Flute, Cello, Trumpet, and Harp.
Natalia’s eyes flickered as all instruments were held by ethereal hands that resembled hers before they started an orchestra of chaos.
Natalia’s figure’s outfit transformed into a long golden-white embroidered dress with white gloves on, and a conductor’s stick.
As she waved her hand once, flickering eccentric notes into existence different types of waves and projectile shapes suddenly blasted out, from the sound of instruments, converging into a storm surrounding both Natalia and her enemy.
The demonic humanoid flashed like a beam of light, attacking Natalia at Hyper Speed 1.
But right when he reached halfway, he was blasted by exotic projectiles coming from the storm, smacking him down.
Natalia didn’t give him a chance anymore, using stun-notes by combining drum and trumpet to rattle the enemy further and keeping him restricted with paralyzing and shock-inducing strings made from Guitar’s power.
The audience watching were hyped as they heard a symphony of chaos that hit their brain waves loudly while the demonic humanoid was utterly annihilated with the stream of chaotic symphony exploding onto him constantly.
[Congratulations, you have won]
Natalia blinked before she flung her transformed white-gold hair back as they reverted to orange. “That was easy.”
