Chapter 518: Borrowing Some Skills, And Darkness?
StepStep
Halting, Rael leaned against the wall, his unsheathed sword lazily resting in his hand as he stared at the black-haired man opposite him, guarding a giant door that led directly to the portal room.
Silence hung in the air for a few short moments until Rael finally broke it with a sly remark:
"So, how does it feel being a fake?"
Alcetas raised a brow. "A fake?"
Rael sighed. "My bad, I should’ve started with an experiment. Doesn’t make it any less fake though... But I assume you don’t know anything, do you?"
"All I know is that you’re intruding in the Silver Palace again," Alcetas replied coldly, yet his gaze flickered slightly, as if Rael’s words stirred something within him. "This is our second time meeting, I believe."
"Second time here. We’ve met plenty of times on other occasions," Rael corrected. "Though that’s enough about me, isn’t it? It’s not like who I am matters, when you are the interesting one."
His smile widened. "I usually like giving bombshells in small doses, but I’m kind of in a hurry."
After a brief pause, Rael spoke again.
"Your friend, Milan Ansar, is alive, and he’s maintaining your actual body. Solenne used the DNA from your body to create replicas of you, and... well, here you are. As for your real body, it’s rotting in the cathedral where all those experiments were conducted on you."hat seemed healthy, and only then did Rael realize what this could be.
Is it because I mentioned his true body? Is it possible that he’s fighting against his true body right now?
[Yes...] Gaia spoke. [I sense a fight going on beyond the Mind Realm. You should take this time for granted and leave. No one knows how long that fight will last, so you only have mere seconds on the outside.]
Hearing that, Rael carefully stepped back, and then closed his eyes, willing his mind out of Alcetas’s Mind Realm.
But not before snagging a little trophy.
Isn’t that...?
[A Mind Realm domain by the looks of it,] Vatyra remarked.
Gaia sighed. [You already have one, but yours is underdeveloped.]
After a brief pause, she spoke again.
[I have a selfish request, but if possible, could you steal that skill?]
I don’t mind, but what’s it for, exactly? You said I already had one.
[Just a little something I’ve been meaning to make. I wasn’t able to until now because I had been lacking in power, but this skill would supplement what I need,] Gaia replied.
Rael smiled. I take it you’re not going to tell me what it is?
Gaia let out a giggle. [It’s a surprise. A-An expensive surprise.]
Taking a deep breath, Rael went ahead and stole the skill. After all, if it was in the hands of Gaia, what could go wrong?
There was a big dent in his pocket now, but despite that, he pressed "Yes," and to his surprise, the skill vanished from his skill list.
[Thank you. I’ll be sure to make something nice for you whenever you arrive,] Gaia said softly.
Rael nodded slowly, and in the next moment, he reappeared in the body he had possessed previously.
Alcetas stood frozen in front of him, and for insurance’s sake, Rael went ahead and performed the ancient kick in the balls, causing a loud crack to resound.
And yet, despite having his balls crushed, Alcetas didn’t show a reaction.
Rael puffed his chest, and then kicked the door in, revealing the portal room. All the portals were lit, ready for soldiers to cross through.
Since he did only have a few seconds, Rael went with the safe option.
•—Premium Shop—•
Category: Bomb / Big Bomb/ Massive Bomb/ Extremely Big Bomb/ Magical Nuclear Warhead / Compact Area / Controlled /
•—Balance: 5,188 Premium Coins—•
• #0001 (Transcendent): 50 Premium Coins
• Pest Exterminator (Transcendent): 100 Premium Coins
Rael swiftly skimmed through both of the nukes, and despite the price of the Pest Exterminator, the #0001 bomb was much better, so he bought it right away.
—#0001 (Transcendent)
Durability: 1/1

Special Option: Remote detonation. Upon detonation, trigger the skill: Ring of Destruction (Transcendent), amplifying the damage several-fold.
Special Option 2: Upon detonation, spread the [Darkness] World Effect.
Darkness...?
"..."
Perfect.
Its explosion range wasn’t too massive either, so it would ensure that only the portal room and a little bit of the Silver Palace exploded. After all, while he did want to destroy Solenne and her army, there were one too many civilians to unleash a full-scale nuke here.
So instead, a black grenade appeared in his hands, making it hard to believe that this was an actual nuke.
But despite that, he went up to one of the portals and placed the black grenade behind it.
And now that the preparations were complete, there was only one thing he left to do...
Kill Jashin Artemios, the Fifth Seat.
