The Tale of the Void Emperor

Seeing everyone waiting, Avelia finally summoned her Geno Art: Outlandish Ze Teronic.

Athan and others saw as five silver glowing things appeared behind her back. They looked like glowing silver blades with golden lining patterns. But these silver blades were wriggling like worms.

" Ahem...They don't look so bad. " Athan said after looking at her Geno Art.

Mike and others snickered hearing that, but those silver blades with golden lining patterns didn't look that bad.

Avelia signed with a pout and said, " But I look weird with those blades wriggling behind me. "

" What do those do? And you all should have some powers that come with Geno Art. Just like how my Horned Crown can strengthen my body strength to a high degree, and when I attack, a purple aura burst forth in a projectile of my attack pattern. "

Hearing him, Mike was the first one to introduce him as he grinned and said, " This is Bahamut's rage. "

Everyone looked at him as a dark orange aura started to spread around his body, and his gauntlets' claws got bigger, " My body has this protective aura, and although we can't test it here, I can attack with my claws which I think will deal really a good amount of damage. As for my Geno Skill, Its name is Arbitrary Taints, and it's an offensive skill, so it will be useful in our plan since we have to hit them anyway. "

He then stopped the Geno Art as he didn't want to consume his geno power before executing their plan.

" It's my turn. " Qerin said after Mike was finished as she activated her Geno Art: Fetterless Horizons.

Everyone felt a weird force around Qerin, but they couldn't see it.

Mike asked with confusion, " What's your power? "

" Hehe, throw an attacking spell at me, and you will find out. Oh, and don't use a powerful spell. Just use the weakest Fireball because I don't want to consume too much geno power as I will need it to use my geno skill in our plan.  " Qerin chuckled and said to Mike.

Everyone had curious looks as they saw Mike throwing a Fireball towards her.

But a strange scene appeared. The fireball stopped at a certain distance in front of Qerin and slowly turned into nothing as its energy ran out.

Qerin smiled and said, " Did any of you notice what happened? "

Mike scratched his head and shook his head while others had a pondering look.

After a few moments, Athan mumbled, " Fetterless Horizons...I see. " He then smiled and said, " The fireball was traveling towards you, but your geno power just created an infinite distance between two points, so the fireball couldn't reach you and ran out of energy. "

Qerin nodded her head as she smiled, " Correct. My Geno Art consumes geno power to broadens or shrinks the space between two places. Which is why I think it's called Fetterless Horizons. If you use your skill, then I can shrink space between two places so that your skill will reach there faster. But if the attack is powerful, then I will drain more geno power. "

Everyone was astounded by this Geno Art because it was actually advantageous in many situations.

Mike laughed out loud with an excited expression and said, " We get all these by filling the first branch so imagine what we will get after filling up the 2nd, 3rd and more branches."

Tiana and Athan shook their heads, hearing him.

" Don't be too happy. The difficulty to fill up the 2nd branch is increased by 8 to 10 times. I spent Twenty days and could only fill up the 2nd branch by 10% heck I think it's still a bit less than 10%. "

Tiana also nodded and said, " And don't forget about the consumption. After using your Geno Skills, You will empty your geno power and need more than a month to fill it up. "

Mike and others couldn't help but get dismayed.

Although these powers were good, the limitations were also quite severe.

" Let's focus on the current situation now. Qerin, what's your Geno Skill? "

Hearing Tiana's words, Everyone knew that they didn't have time to waste.

" My geno skill is called...Sheen of Doom. It can jumble my opponent's senses randomly, and the randomness changes each second. The longer I use this skill, the more my geno power is consumed. "

Athan's jaw dropped to the ground as he remembered a certain fictional character from his previous world having a similar ability. Still, this one was a bit more powerful in a sense.

" Hahaha, This skill is awesome. "

Mike and others looked at Athan with doubt.

Athan grinned and said, " You all will understand its true power when she uses it on the opponents. Sheen of Doom...It's an apt name for this skill. "

He then looked at Avelia, who said helplessly, " I will only activate it for a bit as it's an offensive Geno Art. "

The wriggling Silver blades with golden patterns shone for a bit as dark silver water waves started spinning around her for a bit before they dispersed.

" I canceled it for the reason that it also consumes my geno power even if no one attacks me. But know that it's both attack and defense-oriented. As for my Geno Skill: Disruptive Ray, I can release a super-fast ray filled with my geno power to disrupt the energies inside my target. "

" Although we don't know about your Geno Art, your Geno Skill is very deadly. If their energies are disrupted while using their powers, it will backfire on them, and even after that, They will find it hard to use their energies. "

Avelia nodded, but she then smiled wryly, " It's indeed powerful, but I feel like one ray will consume all of my geno power. "

After that, Tiana introduced her Geno Art and Geno Skill before planning on how to attack Youmi and Raktar.

...

After ten minutes.

Outside...

Youmi and Raktar were recovering their injuries and energies inside a camouflage barrier created by Youmi ten days ago.

Both of them suddenly opened their eyes as they saw a purple slash destroying their camouflage barrier, which made them visible to all. The purple slash continued to move forward after decreasing in size.

Raktar roared despite the injuries as he put up a red metal wall in front of the purple slash, but the wall was destroyed along with the purple slash.

Youmi was going to use her ability, but a flash of light appeared in front of her eyes as she felt the world spinning.

When she tried to stand up, Her left hand moved up, and when she tried to use her left hand, her right leg moved.

She couldn't even see properly as everything appeared upside down. Just when she thought that she got a pattern of hand and legs moving, Everything changed. This time, When she tried to move her left hand, She actually opened her mouth. It's like her brain's nerves that were connected to muscle control changed entirely along with her various senses.

On the other hand, As soon as Raktar's red metal wall and the purple slash destroyed each other. He was hit by a dark silver ray that disrupted his energy and sprouted a mouthful of blood.

...

Athan and others were just 10 meters away from them as they used their skills according to the plan they made.

First, Athan used Chasm Severing to destroy the barrier to make them visible and any possible defense, while Qerin used her Sheen of Doom on Youmi to render her useless. Right after that, Avelia used her Disruptive Ray to damage and disrupted Roktar's energies and his system.

And now Mike and Tiana attacked at the same time.

Mike attacked Raktar with his Geno Skill: Arbitrary Taints as a black, blue, yellow, and red ink-like attack released from his gauntlets and hit Raktar.

Meanwhile, Tiana used Symphoning Gale as a tornado of dark red feathers shot towards Youmi.

After Raktar was hit by a disruptive ray which rendered him useless, he was hit by a strange attack that made him want to suicide. His body's pain shot to unimaginable levels, and He felt biting cold inside his mind and soul while also feeling desolate heat in his internals before a yellow-colored blast stunned his mind completely.

On the other hand, Youmi's skin and blood, along with her internal organs, started to corrode away and wither. She wanted to defend herself, but her senses were jumbled, and she couldn't do anything.

All of these things happened in 4 seconds.

Athan exposed them with Chasm Severing, which took one second, and the next second, Qerin used her Sheen of Doom on Youmi while the remaining Chasm Severing destroyed the red metal wall.

In the third second, Avelia used her Disruptive Ray on Raktar, and in the fourth second, Mike and Tiana attacked Youmi and Raktar at the same time.

Two reasons attributed to their success in the plan; the sudden sneak attack which caught them off-guard, and second, Their already injured state.

The plan was perfect, and they would succeed if not for the external factors.

Since the moment Athan and others came out from the Special Space and made their presence known. Two human beings were approaching this place and they just happened to witness the last attack on Raktar and Youmi.
