Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Arkhen went into the gate and arrived in a vast empty plain of barren land.

But there was a single structure made of stones far away.

It looked like a temple of some sort.

Arkhen flew towards it because it was the only thing standing out in this barren land.

After flying for a bit at full speed, he arrived at the building and saw a headless corpse.

A fresh corpse of a young girl as the blood had barely dried.

[ There is a city ten kilometers away, and the killer is there. You have two days to find and kill the killer by looking at the clues present in this temple. ]

The building was indeed a temple, as there was a statue of a deity wearing exquisite golden clothes and long hair.

The deity was of a different race since the statue had two drilling-type horns on its forehead and four arms.

"So I have to play detective now?" Arkhen muttered speechlessly as he approached the corpse and started looking for clues.

Narrowing his eyes, he found a string of hair and asked, "Velshi, does that string of hair belong to the corpse? Check by consuming reality motes."

[It doesn't belong to the corpse.]

"Good. Then find the person matching the DNA of that hair and create a blue arrow for me that points to that person."

[273 reality motes deducted.]

[Done.]

Arkhen saw a blue arrowing pointing further in the same direction as the temple and flew out.

After flying for a bit, the barren land started vanishing and was replaced by greenery, other small structures, and people.

Soon, he indeed saw a big, lively city and entered inside.

'How strong are the strongest people here?'

Arkhen asked as he saw people flying in the city and using other magical means.

[The strongest is as strong as peak 5th ring powerhouse. You should be able to defeat them.]

Arkhen walked in the streets while following the blue arrow and arrived in front of a big mansion.

'I want to do this quickly and without making a scene,' Arkhen thought as he stood at the side of the mansion's gate.

The two guards at the mansion glanced at him since Arkhen stopped three meters away from them and leaned at the wall before looking into the sky and closing his eyes.

"What are you standing there for?"

One of the guards asked him.

"I am waiting for someone here," Arkhen care freely asked without sparing them a glance.

[538 reality motes deducted]

[My lord, I got more information about the murderer as per your request, and it's a bit creepy.]

'Oh?'

[Yes. The murderer is a girl in her late twenties. She is the daughter of the city of this city, and this mansion belongs to the city lord.]

'No wonder this mansion is so exquisite. So? What's the creepy thing?'

[You saw that corpse didn't have a head, right?]

'Yeah.'

[That murderer took the head back here. Apparently, the city lord's daughter is very beautiful and becomes more beautiful as she ages.]

[However, that is because of a ritual she does by sacrificing poor young girls who have weak and poor families or straight-out orphans.]

'I see…'

Arkhen internally nodded before he used Shadow Sneak skill and sneaked inside the shadow created by walls before entering the mansion.

The guards didn't notice anything, but when one of them looked at where Arkhen was standing, he was surprised and asked, "Where did that guy go?"

"Eh? He was here just a minute ago… Strange."

"Meh, whatever. Let's just focus on duty."

"Yeah."

…

Arkhen leisurely walked through the corridor of the mansion while following the blue arrow.

At the moment, he had used Phantom Maze and created an illusion exactly similar to the mansion.

So people inside the mansion didn't feel any abnormality.

He controlled the mist border of this maze such that it was sticking into the walls inside the mansion and in the shape of the mansion.

So whoever enters the mansion would automatically enter into an illusion.

Arkhen walked past servants, but none of them could see him as he leisurely followed the blue arrow and arrived in front of a room.

'Nice door. It looks like it belongs to that murderer.'

Arkhen continued walking as he unlocked the door by using a reality mote.

However, the beautiful girl with long wavy light blond hair inside the room couldn't see the door opening.

'This superpower is really good if I use it better,' Arkhen thought after he entered the room and saw the girl, who didn't notice him.

Instead of crudely using Phantom Maze like he used the first time, he controlled the power and made some changes before using it, thus creating such a powerful illusion.

The girl was applying some red paste on her face while sitting in front of her mirror.

Arkhen walked behind her and snapped his finger as he deactivated Phantom Maze's power while also using reality motes to seal the girl's throat and tongue, rendering her mute.

And at that moment, the girl suddenly saw a man behind her from the mirror and was startled.

Arkhen pressed his hands on her shoulder and said, "Why the hurry? Come on, finish that makeup."

The girl wanted to speak but couldn't say anything. Not a single word or sound came out of her mouth!

Panic and dread filled her teary eyes.

"Jeez, already crying? I thought you would be a tough bitch since you had killed multiple times before and dealt with brutality."

'Velshi, I want to hang this bitch naked in the air at the most populated place in this city.'

'Oh, and put a mini bomb in her head.'

Arkhen infused his energy into the girl and crippled her power as she became a normal human.

Afterward, Velshi consumed 5,800 reality motes and 500 reality essence to forcefully teleport the girl as she appeared in the city's most populated place.

Central City Plaza!

A connected two poles and the city lord's daughter appeared on that rope naked and bound at her hands as she hung there.
