6. Dominion of the Heavenly Peak
Revet was in 2nd place and his clear time was 3 minutes 40 seconds. The 3rd and 4th place cleared within 3 minutes 56 seconds and 3 minutes 55 seconds respectively, just a few seconds difference which was not shocking.
The person he should be concerned about was whoever was named Berry; they cleared in 55 seconds. He faced a Fenrir and it was really sturdy. Even though Duran would have finished it himself, he chose to get some combat practice in. But 55 seconds? He was really curious now.
"Who is this Berry? If only you let me handle that overgrown wolf you would have taken the top spot," Duran exclaimed with slight annoyance in his tone.
[Yh! I totally agree. And how did they clear it in just 55 seconds? Maybe they have more than one powerful summon.]
They each made valid points but the rankings were bound to change.
'That should be the least of our problems!'
He exhaled deeply.
'Right we need to fortify our fortress. And make it look and feel like the domain of a top ranker. On that note I will begin to level it up'
This would be a good opportunity to make use of his new domain buff: Overflow Growth. It allowed his domain to level up faster. It multiplied how much he leveled up his domain in a row by 2. So if he leveled up his domain 5 times in a row it got leveled up by an additional 10 tiers.
'Aria how do I restore my domain core back to it's physical state?'
[Release is the word!]
'Release'
He removed his domain core from his body and it returned to its normal physical state.
'How do I level it up?'
[Level up is the word Revet-san!]
He touched the domain core.
'Level up'
[Would you like to consume all materials currently owned or would you rather do it one by one?]
'Consume all materials'
[All materials consumed]
[Domain has been leveled to tier 20. Would you like to consume 50 Mitra for Domain rank up?]
'Go ahead'
[Congratulations your domain has upgraded to silver rank!]
[Domain has been further leveled to tier 35]
[Overflow growth has been activated!]
[Domain has leveled to tier 50. Would you like to consume 100 Mitra for Domain rank up?]
'Yes'
[Congratulations. Your domain has ranked up to gold rank!]
[Your domain has leveled up to tier 103]
[Universal domain trait: A call back home can now be used. You can return back to your domain through teleportation!]
His domain now had 3 million HP. With this amount only extremely destructive attacks would be able to destroy it.
[Congratulations you are now level 103!]
[All abilities have been leveled up accordingly!]
[I just felt a surge of power! My archives have expanded immensely!]
"So you can finally give us useful information," Duran reacted mischievously.
[Hmph! Not right away it will take some time. In case you don't know with this sudden expansion it will take some time to sort and unpack all the info!]
"Excuses!" He smirked.
Revet felt different. He felt lighter than usual.
"Whatever just happened now it seems to have increased your strength and spirit energy significantly. Though it is still far from the realm of the gods," Duran scoffed.
[Forget the foul mouthed fox. I think you look extraordinarily strong now! Like you could turn this place upside down!]
"The feeble voice over exaggerates. I do agree that you are about 100x stronger than you were before," Duran exclaimed.
Revet already knew that. His spirit energy was currently a million.
'Time to get renovating'
[Yay!]
"Don't forget to add a private hot spring for me only," he exclaimed boldly.
'I hear you'
'Create Dominion of the Heavenly Peak'
Green light burst forth from his domain core.
[Due to the size for this fabrication the Heavenly Peak has been reconstructed to contain it!]
"Why are we suddenly going down!" Duran exclaimed as the cliff rapidly reduced in height.
[So many things are happening my eyes can barely keep up. What the fuck did you imagine!?]
[Revet-san!]
Walls erupted, the ground shifted. Everything continually moved in an endless rotation. A roof began to emerge about 35 feet above him, stairs, chairs. There was a lot going on just as expected.
[Fabrication completed!]
[Dominion of the Heavenly Peak has been created!]
[Would you like to rename your domain to Dominion of the Heavenly Peak?]
'Yes'
[Is this the time for renaming Revet-san!?]
"I must commend your imaginative strength," he tapped him on the shoulder lightly.
'I did not think it would turn out this well. That artifact is really something else'
"There's even a courtyard! What's that floating above the dominion?" Duran asked.
[Yeah! I am curious about it too!]
'That is a surveillance station. It will help us to monitor neighbouring domains and also alert us if there is any incoming attack'
[In case the enemy is able to bypass Obscure. It will be a backup. As expected of Revet-san!]
"This was indeed a splendid tactical decision on your part," he exclaimed calmly.
'Wait until you see what is outside the gate'
Creak
Duran pushed the huge red gate open. His eyes widened.
"I take it back you are a psycho."
[It's a freaking maze!]
'Not just any maze. A death trap once an intruder is trapped, they can never leave because there is no exit'
[Revet-san is scary!]
'Duran want to check out the hot spring?'
He turned back slowly with a huge smile on his face.
"Yes please!"
Revet had not had a proper bath since he came here.
"This is really extravagant." He removed his clothes. "Just like I like it." He jumped in, splashing water on him.
'Watch it'
Revet removed his clothes.
[I am really jealous! I wish I had a physical body too!]
Warmth spread through his body.
All the pent up stress left him.
This was relaxing.
[My physical bo bo dy!]
"Feeble voice what is going on with you?" Duran exclaimed
[I ju ju st rem mem bered!]
'Aria speak properly!'
She did not respond.
'Aria! Aria! Are you there?'
[Commencing deletion of the legendary assistant Aria!]
[5... 10...]
