Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

As Arkhen absorbed the parasite, Velshi was also doing the work.

These parasites were very unique such that they would be able to absorb everything of their host and finally, become like their host. They would gain everything… And that also included the curse!

So Velshi planned to let the parasite eat the curse only while keeping the rest of Arkhen unaffected. It was hard... But with reality essence and reality motes, it was possible.

"Cough…cough…"

Samira opened her eyes with some coughs after the corruption parasite was removed from her.

"Samira!" Dirroth hugged her as he started bawling in happiness. From the despairing situation of accepting his wife\'s death to gain hope to cure her and then once again being told that her illness was very grave and uncurable to Arkhen finally showing his miracle and curing her…

This roller coaster of emotional upheaval was crushed after he saw his wife finally getting cured, causing him to bawl out loud.

"Let\'s go. I need to take some rest," Arkhen said as he rubbed his temple. He was feeling a bit weird because of the corruption parasite in him. Although it was trapped by Velshi in one place, he was still feeling strange.

"Thank you very much for saving me. I don\'t know how we will repay you for this," Samira quickly said as she saw Arkhen turning around.

Dirroth also stood up and wiped his face off tears. He had a big happy smile as he said, "Arkhen, thank you very much. Whenever you want my help or require any assistance, you can call me. We will help you without any hesitation."

"Hahaha! Although I doubt I would need that but alright! I\'ll keep that in mind," Arkhen said with gusto as he also felt happy that he managed to accomplish this task.

…

Inside the Duke\'s palace…

Arkhen was resting in his room while Balthin and others just waited in the hall for Arkhen to finish. On the other hand, Liani went to the Royal Castle for some work.

"Urghh… This is annoying," Arkhen grunted in pain as all veins on his body bulged. Sometimes, those corruption patterns would also appear on his body for a short time before disappearing.

[Please bear with it. I need the parasite to affect you a bit while trying to lead it to the curse aspect in you].

\'How long?\' Arkhen asked.

[Can\'t say exactly, but 20 min top]

\'Alright.\'

Arkhen sat on the bed with a firm expression as he also focused to stay conscious.

…

Somewhere in a dark place…

There was a blob of black slime with dark red patterns all over it. It had one eye and looked very ugly. This blob of black slime was the origin of the corruption parasite that affected Samira and was now inside Arkhen.

"What…is…happening?"

"Change…host…I…cannot…"

"Eat…I…eat…this…new…host…is…more…delicious…"

The corruption parasite had slimy tentacles growing out. Its corrupt power inside Arkhen was trying to devour Arkhen. But alas, it couldn\'t affect Arkhen\'s body fully nor affect his soul.

"Strange…strange…strange…"

After trying for over ten minutes, the corruption parasite started growing restless. "I…eat!"

"I…found!"

Suddenly, it devoured something pulsing with power since it got a chance and became happy.

"Yes!… Devoured!"

Indeed, it devoured. But what it devoured was the curse power! However, that curse was also power and the corruption parasite was able to feed on it.

After a minute, the surrounding dark and corrupted energy sensed something and moved toward the corruption parasite.

"Evolution…I?… Yes…I…did…"

The corruption energy infused the parasite as it grew bigger and bigger before taking a form of a humanoid with the black body of a twelve-year-old, a very ugly face, and dark red veins patterns on its body.

On his forehead, there was a black symbol, and it was the curse it fed from Arkhen.

With the parasite\'s evolution, the curse became a part of the parasite, becoming something like never before.

"I…go!"

"Not yet, idiot!"

Suddenly, a man wrapped in a cloak appeared beside this newly evolved corruption parasite. His face was hidden because of the hood, and he wore a dark green robe with a black design.

The man grabbed the evolved parasite\'s head and turned it around before looking at it curiously. "Interesting. Nothing like this has ever happened before."

"I..not…go?" the parasite asked with a confused expression.

"Come with me," the man said as he waved his hand to create a portal and entered inside while grabbing the parasite\'s head.

…

"Phew… So I am finally free of that curse, right?" Arkhen asked with relief on his face.

[Yep. Parasite\'s corruption has been removed along with the curse].

\'Great, hahaha! Now there\'s nothing left except for Nirvana Awakening of Sierra and me,\' Arkhen said as he looked at his status and couldn\'t help but wryly smile. \'I had over 10k and neared 20k reality essence after completing the Emergency quest, so I wanted to awaken Luna as well, but this parasite matter reduced my reality essence quite a lot…\'

[I am sorry, my lord. That curse increased our workload more and caused me to spend more reality essence to complete the task].

\'It\'s fine. It\'s worth it since we finally got rid of that curse. Humph, once I get powerful enough, I am going to kill that old man in heaven,\' Arkeh thought as he looked at his status.

[My lord. I suggest you finish the matter with those people from the Draken Kingdom first. After that, you can tell them to drop you at the Pentatrix continent and meet that lady Rong. There, you can take out Sierra, so you both can join the same sect as Meya].

[Depending on their matter, you can start the Nirvana Awakening process of Sierra after going to the Draken Kingdom since it could take several days for her to finish her trial].

\'Alright, that sounds good. But just in case, I want you to spend reality motes and tell me if they really need my help or whether they have any bad intentions towards him.\'

[Worry not, my lord. I have actually already checked that. It appears that they indeed need your help and doesn\'t bear any ill intentions towards you].

\'Good.\'

Arkhen stood up and went downstairs to meet Balthin and his entourage.

"Arkhen! So, are we finally ready to go?" Balthin asked with a wry smile.

"Yep. Let\'s go."

…

After saying farewell to Liani and others, Arkhen left with Balthin and his company using a teleportation magic talisman.

Such talisman can only be created by Enchanters who have space affinity, and that person must be at the peak of the 1st realm to affect such large teleportation in the 1st realm.

There was a ten seconds buffer time before the talisman teleported them. So, if someone used any kind of energy or attacked them in the ten seconds buffer time, the talisman would fail and turn into waste while canceling the teleport.

...

"So, what is the problem?" Arkhen asked after he looked around as he arrived in a big room with others after teleporting.

"Please wait here. I will come again to take you and then explain everything in detail. If you want something, then you can tell them," Balthin said with a smile before he left the room, leaving Kalrog, Rengoki, and Lukem in the room with Arkhen.

"If you want to eat something, I can order," Rengoki said with a happy smile as she continued, "Seeing you curing that woman has really given us the hope we needed.

"Indeed, indeed."

Kalrog and Rengoki quickly nodded their heads.

"Can you tell me about the problem first?"

"Yep. While Blathin went to tell others and prepare, we are to brief you the problem, but if you want anything to eat first, tell us."

"Nah. I am not hungry for now. Just tell me the problem. I am curious about the thing that even your powerful kingdom couldn\'t solve."
