Chapter 715
'So much has changed in such little time...'
As Rey's thoughts flowed, his exposed eye that seemed focused on the three Dragon Generals was actually staring at a screen
before him.
The screen's glow was invisible to others, and it displayed something they were never to know.

'So far, so good...'
He had been racking up more Levels than he expected thus far, and thanks to his Divine Growth, he could Level Up a lot easier
than before.
Then, there was the matter of his Stats.
'[Sacrifice] has never been more useful than now. I have seen so many Skills being used in the span of just just a few days.'
Of course, most of them weren't particularly useful to him—or they overlapped with his current Skills—so he simply used
[Sacrifice] to turn them into Stats.
The result of that were the excess Stat Points that remained unused in his arsenal.
'The main thing here, though, is that Skill... [Domain Of Man].'
Rey had noticed its presence ever since he returned from the Oracle's Domain. He had no idea how the Skill appeared there, but
he reckoned it had something to do with him witnessing something within the space.
'I've gotten Skills without particularly meaning to or knowing why before, so it all adds up.' He told himself in order to quell his
slight confusion on the Skill's appearance.
But, unlike last time where Skills were captured with [Doppel], this one appeared among his regular Skills.
That didn't make sense at all.
'It hasn't happened before. It means I didn't copy the Skill, but naturally awakened it.' Since Rey was no stranger to the natural
awakening of Skills, he also didn't consider it too strange. In the end, this only meant he had one new Skill to work with.
And this particular Skill was incredible.
'With these three here, I should be able to see how far I can go with it.' He leaked out a small smirk as he finally took his eyes off
the vanishing Status Window in order to focus on the trio before him.
U'riah, R'azak, and Ce'phas: the Dragon Generals leading the invasion on the Land of the Elves.
'They don't seem particularly strong.' Rey had already taken a glimpse at their Status Windows a while back, so he could think
these things with absolute confidence.
'Their Skills are also not particularly intriguing to me... except a few.'
For example, the [Time Dilation] Skill that Ce'phas had was rather interesting. No... it was beyond interesting.
[Seer's Sight] was also interesting, but since Rey already had [Perfect Divine Appraisal], the former didn't seem all that
impressive any longer.
All in all, the Dragon Generals were not a formidable bunch for him.
Still, since they had multiple S-Tier Skills, and also possessed ample combat experience, they were the perfect guinea pigs for
the utilization of his new Skill. At the very least, they seemed to be the most powerful opponents around.
'Now then... shall we begin?'
All of Rey's thoughts were encapsulated within a moment, so as soon as he finished his internalization, it seemed the world
resumed activity.
"W-what did you do to me just now?!" Ce'phas yelled out, his eyes bloodshot as he focused a certain kind of emotion on Rey.
It was rage mixed in with confusion.
His two colleagues—U'riah and R'azak—mostly had shock written on their faces, but this soon graduated to confusion as they
processed what they had just witnessed. If their eyes were not deceiving them, the way Ce'phas was returned to his position
resembled a certain Skill.
'[Time Dilation].'
Ce'phas must have recognized this, gotten confused, and then enraged.
"How can you use [Time Dilation]?!" He yelled out, veins now appearing on his face as his bloodshot eyes burned with fury.
As one of the only two Dragons in the entire Empire who had that Skill, he held great pride in it. He was recognized as incredibly
strong as a result of it as well. While he wasn't as proficient as the other user, he had mastered it to the point where he was
considered invincible.
Yet... YET...!
"How did you even... when did you make physical contact? What the hell is going on here?!" He screamed, dashing towards Rey
once again.
The result—just like before—remained constant.
~ZZZTTZZZ!~
Ce'phas returned to his earlier position, his face displaying an agonizing feeling of helplessness.
'Thanks to [Perfect Divine Growth], the [Time Dilation] Skill has evolved into [Perfect Time Dilation], and it allows me to control
the flow of time of anyone within my range of influence as long as I am equal or superior to them.' Rey thought to himself,
somewhat relishing in the despair of his opponent.
Using the new [Perfect Time Dilation] Skill with his other Skills, like [Perfect Domain Of The Divine] and his Spatial Magic under
[Perfect Divine Magic], he could even improve his range and affect opponents from an extended distance.
In essence, the limitations that bound Ce'phas did not apply to him at all.
'There's no need to tell him all of that, though...' Rey slowly moved his hand, causing all the Dragon Generals to react by taking
combative stances.
None of that mattered to Rey, though.
They could try to escape, fight back, or plead. The results would still be the same, so he didn't even try to waste his time on
unnecessary activities.
His hand reached out to the eyepatch that covered his left eye, all so he could fully control and observe the effects of his new
Skill.
Once the eyepatch was removed, his eyes shone bright red, blue, and then purple.
As the sparks burst forth, his lips parted and words emerged.
"[Domain Of Man]."
