Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Erix didn't have to wait long as Rin also emerged from the wish reward dimension after a minute, successfully attaining the Mind Zone.

"Mind Zone is awesome," Rin grinned as she looked at Erix, but when she looked at his eyes and aura, she was startled.

"You seem a bit different, honey," Rin raised her eyebrows.

Erix arrived before her and grabbed her hands before looking at her, his eyes expressively bright, "Rin, don't leave me."

"Why would I leave you?" Rin laughed.

Erix shook his head, tightening his grip.

At that moment, Lilith, Isabella, Lily, Sameira, and Kenshin arrived one by one. They were also surprised by the distinct change in Erix's aura and vibe.

"I want to say something," Erix said calmly.

"What happened?" Sameira asked.

Everyone looked at him before he opened his mouth, his words like a decree.

"Supreme," Erix's words invoked a change in the surroundings as his Supreme Crown appeared above his head.

Everyone was startled and also felt an overwhelming pressure on them.

They also understood that this was Erix's new Concept. But they didn't know that he would acquire such a powerful Concept that boosted all of his parameters by a lot.

They could feel it in the air, let alone the pressuring aura emitting from him.

They knew that the difference between Erix and them increased yet again even though they also awakened their Mind Zone.

Erix didn't say anything else. All he showed was bursting out with his most powerful state and looking at them with clear, fiery eyes.

Words were not needed.

"Supreme, eh? I got it, darling," Lilith licked her lips and smiled.

"You walk, we'll be by your side," Rin said with a fiery glint in her eyes.

"Exactly," Lily bit her lips, her eyes determined.

"Mhm," Isabella also nodded as clenched her. 'I want to awaken this Concept. For Erix, and myself.'

Suddenly, Nira appeared amidst them from tiny watery moisture in the atmosphere, "Everyone, it's time! You all are done with the challenges, right?"

"Yep," Erix grinned. "It's trial time now. Let's go."

…

The group went to the trial while Korin was also inside a Trial.

The time to complete a Trial was significantly longer than completing challenges and Events, but completing Trials increased a group's overall power and survival thanks to the Features they gave.

Korin successfully completed the Trial after 6 hours and returned to the Throne Hall.

The Feature he received from the Trial was [Call of the Dark Tide], it was a debuff-type Domain that would activate around their Throne Hall and reduce the effectiveness of all invaders' senses by 30% for 1 minute.

It was an OP feature capable of changing the tide of the battle because a 30% reduction in all senses would reduce invaders' capabilities by a significant chunk.

'Another defense-type Feature, yes!' Korin's eyes glinted. 'It looks like luck is on our side in regards to survival. As long as we don't die and properly defend, we'll survive more days.'

'Erix and others are progressing significantly fast as well…if this continues, we can achieve one of the top rankings.'

But he suddenly remembered a pain in the ass and frowned, 'Ragna…he won't leave Rin alone unless he gets that Heavenly Nimbus Shen.'

Suddenly, he heard a notification.

[Congratulations, the Throne Hall has acquired the Feature: [ Fallen Star Impact ]

Right after that, Korin also received Nira's call.

[Nira: We've finished the Trial as well. Returning in soon.]

[Korin: Fast. We are going to an Event and it will start after nineteen minutes. There will be more participants, but we have to do this and get the best results in this event.]

Korin looked at the Throne Hall's panel to check out the Fallen Star Impact.

[Fallen Star Impact]

_Only the leader can invoke this feature.

_Effect: Call a Dreadnaught Meteorite on a targeted location, which will cause destruction of a 50-kilometer radius upon impact and also destroy all types of magic and skills in the area, while creating a field that prevents all types of healing for everyone for 10 minutes.

_Note: This can't be used within 50 kilometers of any Throne Hall.

_Duration until Impact: 3 seconds.

_Cooldown: 24 hours.

'An attack-type with a powerful debuff…hmmm, this kind of feature will be useful if we have an unexpected encounter with a group.'

Korin's eyes glinted. 'The Event…alright, this is a plan.'

Erix and others soon returned thanks to the teleportation of Erix and the group began the meeting.

"The event we are going to participate in is Zion Zergs. I hadn't discovered it, so we don't know the hidden rules, but that's fine," Korin said with a sharp expression. "If we win this, we'll get a big boost."

"Is it a big one?" Nira raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah. It will start once 30 spots are filled, which means it's a competition among three groups. I have filled our spots there."

"We saw four pillars of light, so four Events are discovered in this region, eh? Which one is ours?" Rin curiously asked.

"The black light pillar one. It is also the toughest and most rewarding," Korin said, his expression severe. "We have to win this and kill everyone else after the event finishes."

"Fallen Star Impact?" Erix's eyes narrowed as he grinned. "Alright."

…

"What?!"

Tenebria's expression changed, her face getting pale—A sight that Ayaka had never seen before.

"What happened?" Ayaka frowned.

"Lady Wisteria just informed me about the matter with Aria…" Tenebria put away the comm card while sweat beads formed on her face.

"This is bad," Tenebria took a breath.

"Huh? Do you mean Aria? What happened?" Ayaka's brows furrowed strongly.

"She can't come back from the 4th Dimension Realm anymore…they paid the price to keep her there instead," Tenebria uttered with utter somberness. "I don't know how this will affect Erix and others."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Not to mention that you told them Aria will return safely," Ayaka ruefully smiled. "But who knew this kind of thing would happen?"

"The one who sacrificed her life was a Palace Master position…I can't imagine their power level as they are beings of the 4th realm, but they paid such a price…" Tenebria sighed. "They won't let Aria return unless Aria becomes powerful enough."

"She is on the 4th Dimension Realm…a cosmos we know nothing about, but can say with certainty that she will progress fast as long as she works hard for it thanks to resources and advancement of powers in such a higher dimension realm."

Ayaka rubbed her chin and smiled at Tenebria as she asked, "So, what are you going to tell them?"

"I don't want to disturb them during the War of Thrones, but it feels wrong to lie to them, even if it is temporary," Tenebria frowned.

"Or…" Ayaka opened her hand fan as she cunningly smiled, "Just wait for them to contact you about Aria. You told Nira to tell them that Aria wouldn't return until an unknown amount of time."

"So don't tell me anything now. Wait until they finish the War of Thrones."

Tenebria slowly nodded and sighed before she rubbed her temples, "Everyone in that group is a powerful force for me. Not having Aria with me anymore is hurtful to me as well."

"I can only hope she can endure the hardships there and get strong, so they can reunite again."
