Chapter 296 Plan Commences
Velshi showed everything to Zoe and Evelyn through a cloudy screen while narrating the events.
After finding out everything and Arkhen's current situation, both sisters became furious and sad.
Arkhen and they talked for a while before Velshi sent them to the Dream Fragment, where Sierra, Meya, Luna, and Sasha were present.
Sierra was familiar with the feisty sisters and introduced them to others. Zoe and Evelyn already knew about them since Velshi showed them and introduced them through the cloudy screen.
The girls were killing all dream beasts with no hurry to purify because killing dream beasts would help them progress.
That's why it took six to ten hours to purify a dream fragment after entering.
Days passed as girls got stronger and collected Reality Essence for Arkhen.
Twenty-two days later, Arkhen had enough reality essence to start the grand plan.
"Are you all ready?" Arkhen's projection model looked at the girls.
"Brother Arkhen, we are ready!" Zoe and Evelyn simultaneously said with determined expressions.
"Yes!"
Sierra, Meya, Luna, and Sasha also nodded.
"We will do our utmost to get strong as soon as possible and save you," Sierra said with a loving smile.
"But it just pains me that you will have to endure their torture so much," Luna clenched her teeth and fist as she said.
"Let's not waste any more time. Arkhen, send us out," Sasha said with a solemn gaze. "Wait for us."
Meya had become a bit silent, but her gaze was still cold and determined as she nodded. "Send us out."
"Hahaha, I feel blessed that you all are this focused and hyped, but don't be careless out there," Arkhen said with a heartfelt smile. "Don't put your lives at risk with recklessness. Remain level-headed in all situations and make decisions after thinking. Alright, Velshi. Commence the planned arrangements and send them out."
...
A grand door opened as five hooded figures entered their exquisite large palace.
They walked through a corridor towards a door leading into the hall where Arkhen was trapped and constantly tortured.
"It's been a month, heh. He should have already lost his mental fuse and turned insane with that constant torture."
"No doubt. We'll heal his mind and ask him for the Reality Token unless he wants to experience the torture again."
They reached the door and opened it before seeing Arkhen still chained with his eyes closed.
Hearing the slight sound, Arkhen opened his eyes and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
The five hooded figures frowned. They were expecting to see a different scenery here.
First, one of them waved their hands and stopped the lavatic torture before healing him.
However, they still didn't see Arkhen's eyes getting relieved or any similar sort. So again, they were not expecting that.
"Willing to hand over the reality token now or want to experience an even higher level of torture?"
Arkhen stared at them silently for two seconds before closing his eyes.
"Fuck! It seems that the previous torture was not enough, humph."
"Let him test my Gu poison for a few months."
"Hmm? The one that seems poison even into the soul? We can't use it on him yet, or we'll have to waste resources to heal his soul, heh."
"Hehe, not that. This one will seep into every centimeter of his body, letting him feel constant immense pain. The pain will be like each centimeter part of his body, both inside and outside, dripping with molten acid.
"On top of that, his entire body will constantly rot, which will bring even more pain. But I need one of your healing powers to add to this cycle, or he will die."
Arkhen's eyes trembled upon hearing that womanly voice describing the torture, but he toughened up his mind and was prepared for it.
Those five hooded figures saw that and laughed as to them; it indicated that Arkhen was indeed affected by the torture and would soon give up.
...
"Is there only wilderness in this dimension?" Sasha asked as she stood to stop a tall tree and looked around.
Other girls also climbed up while dead bodies of giant beasts littered the ground below.
All beasts were of the same kind, monkey! However, the monkeys were five to ten meters tall and had metallic armor and guns over their shoulders.
Those armor and guns were naturally born and grew on them! These were just that type of unique lifeforms beasts.
"Let's just follow my path of stars," Sierra said as she could sense and see a mysterious path extending from her.
She had reached 10th class and unlocked her path of stars. Since she broke through while in this dimension, her path of stars adventure also appeared in this dimension.
She could also see stars in the sky, but they were only visible to her. Each time she reached a milestone indicated by her path of stars, she would receive a slight boost in her power and a fragment of comprehension regarding her Endowment Star.
"I can also break through to the 10th class anytime. Should I do that and follow both of our paths of stars to save time?" Sasha said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, do that," Luna said with a nod.
"I also want to get strong quickly," Zoe said with a pout.
Zoe reached the 7th class, and Evelyn also reached the 7th class.
Meya reached the 9th class, while Luna also reached the 9th class.
"I think there is something," Evelyn said as she looked in a direction. Her left eye glowed faint silver.
[Arkhen spent some reality motes and created this arrow for you. Follow it, and it will lead you toward the first populated place]
Velshi appeared along with a blue arrow, and the arrow also pointed in the same direction where Evelyn was looking.
"Alright, let's go," Meya said and quickly started flying without waiting for anyone.
"My path continues in that direction as well. Let's move," Sierra nodded.
The girls unfurled their various types of wings, either from a skill or their innate physique, as they flew quickly.
While flying, Sasha said, "I think we should make an organization. We don't need to settle, of course. But if we have more people working under us after we enter the 2nd realm, it will be helpful and increase our progress."
[Arkhen agreed and also sent the name of the organization. That same name will be his surname, which he has been missing]
"Oh? What's the name?" Zoe asked curiously.
[A/N: xD I am doing this again. I did mention about making his surname before and also chose a good one, but it left my mind and the whole thing about his surname :P Anyway, everyone write their suggestion in the comment box. A super cool name, okay? xD If I like one of yours, I'll choose it instead of mine.]
