Azela came out of the bathroom and saw Arkhen standing with his eyes closed. An unknown aura surrounded him.
Reisa was also standing with her eyes closed, a trail of blood trickling from her mouth because of the attack from Liani before Arkhen entered the room.
"So that's the Realm Artifact? It commences a battle of wills between him and his target?" Liani said. Her left arm was below her chest horizontally while her right arm's elbow was resting on her left hand's palm as she pinched her chin with her right hand with a thoughtful expression.
"Yes. I hope Arkhen succeeds," Azela said with slight worry in her eyes. But she was majorly confident in Arkhen and believed that he would succeed.
"If it's the battle of willpower like this, then it will take a long time to finish," Liani said as she waved her hand and put Arkhen on the bed. As for Reisa, she just let her stand here.
"Can we help Arkhen from outside if possible?" Azela asked.
"Nope. In a battle like this, it's entirely dependent on both sides' willpower. How long they last against each other in the will battle is the main factor," Liani said with a wry smile. "A firm mind, a firm goal, desires, wishes, ambitions can strengthen your willpower as well."
…
Arkhen and Reisa were in a blank space filled with clouds and stars. It was a mental world shaped by the Realm Artifact, where both of them were hurling attacks using their willpower.
Guess what the attacks made of willpower looked like?
They were… everything! Everything that you managed to think of and shape, it would appear. Their power was based on the reasoning and willpower of the user. To continue the counterattack against each other.
"Missile Barrage of Hell Fire," Arkhen shouted and imagined the attack that he just uttered.
*Swoosh…*
Instantly, a giant barrage of many missiles appeared and shot toward Reisa.
"Gate of Eternal Spring," Reisa shouted with red eyes as a giant gate appeared in front of her to block the incoming missiles. The gap in the gate was filled with mysterious water.
All the missiles went into the gate and exploded but they couldn't destroy the eternal water.
"Even if it is eternal, I can rot it to death," Arkhen said with a grin. "Flying Fish of Rotting Terror."
In the next second, countless fish appeared as they went into the Gate of Eternal Spring.
All fish started rotting the water gate.
"Wild Expansion, Poison Forest!" Reisa screamed as suddenly, a forest appeared that enveloped both Arkhen and Reisa. The forest was hundreds of kilometers vast!
"Ugh…" Arkhen frowned as he quickly thought and uttered, "Mask of Poison conversion, Vest of Poison Eater."
A mask appeared that converted poison into the fresh air to his mouth while the vest that appeared over his body devoured the poison.
Arkhen's lips curled into a smile as he thought of another thing and uttered, "Ancient Poison Eaters. Eat this forest and grow."
*Roarr!!*
Several creepy giant insectoid creatures appeared and started eating the forest.
Reisa saw the big creatures and snorted, "World Ending Giant. Crush everything in front of me."
*Grrrrrrr…*
A tens of thousand-kilometer tall giant appeared that loudly grumbled and stomped once after raising his giant foot.
*BOOOM…*<sub></sub>

<o>,m "A sword that cut anything in its path! Excalibur!"</o>
Arkhen wielded an exquisite sword and slashed it toward the giant!
*Swoosh!*
A giant slash formed with his swing. It got many times bigger in a second and cut the giant into two.
"Rain of Magic, Oblivion Meteors!" Arkhen followed up right after the slash. "And an Everlasting Barrier, Mugenzhix."
Giant meteors formed in the sky and started raining down on the forest, causing destruction everywhere.
Reisa also defended herself by thinking of a powerful barrier and spoke, "Fill everything with water, World of Zaharix, and fill it with ancient water terrors!"
But suddenly, everything was cleared again, and some words appeared in the sky.
~| Rules applying: Large-scale destruction attacks won't be allowed anymore, nor small-scale attacks. Only a battle of pure willpower matters, though you can still conjure things to affect your opponent, but not raw attacks. Exude your willpower to suppress your opponent. Upon suppression to an extent, the victor will be decided |~
Arkhen and Reisa were startled and stared at each other silently.
"Brat! You better deactivate this Realm Artifact before you regret it," Reisa said as she narrowed her eyes.
"Huh? Are you scared?" Arkhen grinned and said, "Since you wanted to devour Azela's soul, then better prepare for one of the worst life-ending that I will give you."
"You think you can win against me in the battle of willpower? Heh, stop dreaming," Reisa said as she sneered and continued, "This will only end in one way: you dying and I winning.
The only thing I am worried about is that woman outside. I am not sure if I can escape from her. But if you deactivate this Realm Artifact, then I will not try to harm your woman and leave quietly," Reisa finished speaking as he stared intently at Arkhen with intimidation.
‘This bitch… I thought she would put up a strong front, but she is just trying to scare me using her original power and thinking of leaving without fighting,' Arkhen thought.
[My lord. I have prepared the things. Combining the data with the willpower manifestation of this place, it will look very much alive].
‘Good. I'll tell you when I need it.'
Seeing Arkhen silent, Reisa thought that he was contemplating. Alas… She got a shock in the next second.
"I heard you have quite a cult in the Gravel Realm, and it gives you a bit of soul power regularly with their faith. So, why did you want to devour other people's souls?" Arkhen asked as he narrowed his cold eyes.
Arkhen already knew the reason why she and others were devouring souls. From the memories, whenever this woman devoured a soul, her expression was quite an extreme one. Extreme as in… It was like they were eating the most intoxicatedly delicious food.
Arkhen felt that eating a soul must have surely felt extremely delicious to point of making them lose their mind and get addicted to it, along with giving them a soul power boost. That's why these people would trick people of the Gravel Realm and devour their souls.
"Why did I do that? Heh, why don't you devour a soul and find that out?" Reisa said with a wicked grin. "Since you got your Star of Endowment, you can also bless people in the Gravel Realm and grant them a power based on the affinity of your Star of Endowment. Once that person ascends in the 1st realm and awakens their soul, you can devour it using the link you gained through the blessing."
Arkhen shook his head and snorted, "Why don't you just be honest and tell me, little Fiya?"
Hearing the name ‘Fiya', Reisa's expression drastically changed as she twisted a bit. Gritting her teeth, she hissed, "How did you know my true name?! Who are you?"
While speaking, Reisa dashed towards Arkhen with killing intent. They couldn't use their powers, and this was just their consciousness avatar. Naturally, even if they were consciousness avatars, it was no different from a physical body here.
As such, seeing Reisa coming at him, Arkhen just smirked and side-stepped before punching her hand in her stomach.
*Smack!*
Reisa was thrown several meters away. Of course, she was not damaged at all. They can hit each other all they want, but they couldn't feel pain or get injuries.
