Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Rin entered the room and swiftly finished the examination as it was simple.

She just had to execute a few skills utilizing her Blade Concept in the room.

After she finished, a staff member arrived to give her the report of her Blade concept, "Congratu-"

But Rin interrupted him and said while shaking her head, "No need."

She vanished from her spot and arrived at the exit door before going out.

'There's no point if my name is not in that leaderboard.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, she immediately heard an uproar in the hall.

"Who is that?!"

"Damn, the leaderboard finally changes, eh?"

"Zenith Zenblade? Damn, sounds cool."

Rin's eyes are stuck on the leaderboard, blocking the surrounding view and checking out the leaderboard from the bottom.

10. Solarius Sunblade — Solar Sovereign — SSS-Grade

'Alright! I am not 10th at least,' Rin grinned and continued.

9. Gaia Thornblade — Verdant Vortex — SSS-Grade.

8. Seraphine Frostblade — Frostbite Fury — SSS-Grade.

7. Draconis Emberblade — Infernal Incisor — SSS-Grade.

6. Zenithia Skyshard — Celestial Cleaver — SSS-Grade.

5. Vortek Steelrend — Void Vanguard — SSS-Grade.

4. Aetherielle Duskblade — Twilight Tempest — SSS-Grade.

3. Nebula Nightstrike — Shadow Shredder — SSS-Grade

Rin's eyes glinted.

2. ??? — Zenith Zenblade — SSS-Grade.

1. Sugil Nerat — Ethereal Edge — SSS-grade.

'Tsk!'

Seeing her rank that high, but not at the top made her mood a bit foul.

"Um, Miss Rin. Could you please write your name here? This name will be displayed on this leaderboard. You can write any name you want like those 9 people. Only the first rank used his real name."

Rin took the stone tablet and wrote her name before leaving.

She went to the 2nd floor's opponents, raring to fight and defeat whoever stood in her way to the top!

Or in this case, at the furthest underground floor of this Den of Blades.

…

Lilith wanted to progress in her Engulf concept, but her Concept dimension was different.

She was alone in this Concept Dimension that was filled with utter danger that could take her life at any time if she didn't constantly use her Engulf concept to protect herself and attack the strange phenomena.

This best Engulf Concept dimension had no land or sky. Lilith felt like she was in a thick liquid-atmospheric world threatening to engulf her anytime, throwing colorful and overwhelming phenomena at her that forced her to utilize her Engulf concept to save herself.

Meanwhile, Lily was in the same situation as Rin and Erix in her best Weave Concept dimension.

Isabella was also in the same situation as them in the best Harmony Concept dimension, competing with others in Death Matches.

Aria chose to progress in her Dream concept, and she was in the same situation as Lilith—Alone in the concept dimension that threatened to take her life if she failed to keep up and progress constantly.

Kenshin and Sameira both were in the same type of dimension as Aria and Lilith.

Kenshin was progressing in his Tempest concept, while Sameira was progressing in her Serenity concept.

…

Erix's 3rd opponent was tough and the fight went on longer in his opponent's favor.

However, he broke through to the 5th realm in the Punch concept and nailed the fight.

"And he finally broke through!! Hole Man makes holes again!"

Erix sat cross-legged and started healing himself while hearing the cheers and uproar, a faint smile on his face.

[Punch Concept]

_Realm: Jeta — Oblivion Dominion.

'Oblivion Dominion. Awesome.'

—> Oblivion Dominion: You can mark any number of targets with Oblivion Dominion and your Punch-affiliated will never miss, becoming undodgable. They can only be blocked head-on. Punch-affiliated damage on marked target is increased by 100%.

'And its effect is also powerful! No wonder that guy instantly died on my last attack despite his annoying toughness.'

_Effect:

—> Each attack on a marked target increases the next punch-affiliated attack by 50%, up to 100%. Follow-up attacks on the targets directly cause micro-explosions and create holes in the target.

Erix grinned from ear to ear. 'Holes are super op because of my Hollow Puncture as they explode with the same power as my attack. Alright, I know what kind of skills I need to create with the addition of Oblivion Dominion.'

…

Lilith floated in the colorful semi-liquid ocean and waves while two black whirlpools with dreadfully colorful sparks in them were threatening to engulf her—one on top and one below her.

Their size was massive enough that Lilith in the middle of both of them looked like a grain of sand.

There was no escaping this because she physically couldn't move. The suction force of the whirlpool was also forcing her to focus and balance.

The only way for her to survive this was to break through her Engulf Concept to the 6th realm and increase the power of her Concept's effects.

But her expression was serene and she was in the zone.

Her success was nigh.

*Swoosh!*

In the next second, Lilith opened her eyes and a black maw manifested hundreds of kilometers wide, overshading both whirlpools.

*Crounch*

*Boom!*

The maw ate both the massive whirlpool and Lilith before vanishing in the next second.

Lilith floated in the middle with her hands behind her back, and a smile on her face as she watched her Concept's power.

[Engulf Concept]

_Realm: Nexor — Devouring Maw

—> Engulf Directive: Your Engulfment takes the shape of ink-black waters, slowing down everything within as if they are in an inescapable thick swamp. You can manifest Engulf anywhere by wrestling away uncontrolled energy and atmosphere energy or by consuming your energy.

—> Abyssal Grasp: Your engulfing abilities reach into the depths of the shadows, pulling targets into a realm of eternal dusk, where they are ensnared by the tendrils of darkness and held captive. 100% extra damage to targets as long as Abyssal Grasp is affecting them.

—> Veil's Embrace: You can create Engulf Veils on yourself and allies that work to engulf all hostile energies while enemies affected by Engulf will have reduced potency of skills or power they release.

—> Devouring Maw: You can mark any number of targets as 'Prey' and instantly engulf them within abyssal darkness. You can directly transport your attacks near your target while they are engulfed. If you succeed, the power of your attack will increase by 200%.

_Effect:

—> Your Engulf disrupts the target's energy and steals 50% of their skill attack if your skill strikes them before Engulf is removed.

—> While affected by Engulf, your damage to them increases by 100%.

—> You can forcefully engulf untamed energies and use them to fuel your skills' potency.

—> While affected by Engulf, allies have increased the speed of everything and enemies have decreased the speed of everything, including thought-process.

—> You can apply 'Devour' to your attacks. When your attack impacts anything, it instantly creates an Engulf zone in an area depending on your energy consumed and activates all effects of your Engulf concept.

Lilith smiled, 'So my Devouring Maw's conceptual effect increased in power. From 100% boost to 200%. That's big.'

After the 6th realm and onwards, her Concept's effect would be upgraded after each realm, and even evolve depending on her efforts.

'Alright, what's next?' Lilith's senses immediately sensed the next stage of this Concept Dimension as the pressure around her was slowly increasing.

…

While hours upon hours passed by in everyone's Concept Dimension, only one minute passed by outside.

If they emerged successfully and returned to the playground of War of Thrones, it meant that they had successfully reached the 10th realm and achieved the Conceptual Manifesto.

The question was…would all of them return or not?
