The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan looked at his right wrist.

83%.

" Looks like It will take me a few more hotspots depending on their size to reach 100%. " Athan muttered, and he also activated his soul technique to call everyone back to the special space because the time of the soul technique was almost up.

...

Avelia and Tiana were currently traveling to find another hotspot and their body had additional things on them.

Both of them sat on Stormy and Hawkray as they moved at a fast speed. But suddenly, They all disappeared.

Mike and Qerin, who were fighting with the metallic beasts, also disappeared. Their two altar spirits also reached the first stage of spirit armaments as they wore powerful-looking armaments on their body and wielded powerful weapons.

...

Athan entered the special space after calling them and was a bit surprised by their appearances. He knows why they looked like this, but he had yet to give his altar spirits any menima crystals.

Avelia had additional armor that covered her body along with her leg armors. The armor on her body looked dark brown with golden patterns inscribed on it.

On the other hand, Tiana also had additional armament on her body in the form of armor that covered her whole body.

The full armor covered her legs, chest, and even hands in metallic white surfaces with black and gold patterns.

" Your armaments are not that matching, Avelia. "

Avelia pouted at Athan and said, " It's ok, I will get one more chance to change their forms when they reach the second stage of Spirit Armaments. "

" Anyway, What's the deal with Mike? Did he form a pure weaponry armament of his altar spirit? "

Mike looked like an ancient knight covered in thick armor that covered every inch of his body.

The armor looked bright brown with grey metal linings, and it was likely the armament form of his altar spirit, Aegisron.

But in addition to it, two spears were floating in front of him that burned in bright orange flames. The spears were burning in flames, but one could clearly see the dark and golden patterns on the spears' surface as they were shining.

This was the armament form of his pure offensive altar spirit known as Furious.

Qerin smiled and said, " Yep. Same with me. We don't need to make all of our altar spirit's armament form into some type of armor on our body. Instead of that, We should separate their functions after feeling their new powers. "

Mike grinned, " Hehe, My Qiqi's idea is good. You all should follow that. "

Qerin also had one single type of armor, but it only covered her chest, back, and head with a helmet. Her armor looked perfect with light green and light yellow patterns on them.

Her armor resulted from her balanced altar spirit called Yinu, unlike Mike's altar spirit Aegisron which had pure defensive powers. Wearing this armor didn't only give her defense as she could also produce light wings from her back armor to increase her flying speed and attack speed.

In addition to that, Three shuriken-like weapons were floating behind her. The shurikens were big and gave of pure offensive power.

Athan could feel that Qerin gave off the most refined aura from her spirit armaments, ' Well, She certainly started to give off a different aura after regaining her memories. '

He then asked them about their battle level gauge, and depending on them; He might finally give his altar spirits the menima crystals.

Tiana's battlefield level gauge was 51%

Avelia's battlefield level gauge was 49%

Mike's battlefield level gauge was 41%

And Qerin's battlefield level gauge was 44%

Seeing this, Athan nodded with a grin and said, " If you could make two of your altar spirits reach the first stage with this progress, then I think all of my altar spirits will be able to reach the first stage. "

Tiana asked while chuckling, " You didn't give any menima crystals to your altar spirits yet? "

" I was planning to give them enough to reach stage 1 at the same time. Well, now is the time for it. "

Athan then called out his altar spirits, who eagerly stood in front of Athan in their miniature forms.

" Here you go. "

He took out all of his menima crystals as Lucent, DeathKnight, and Skylord started to eat them with an excited and satisfied expression like little kids eating chocolates.

" Dang, bro...so many menima crystals? What is your progress in battlefield level gauge? I can feel that the gauge is filling up slower and slower as it continues to go up. "

" My battlefield level gauge is filled up to...take a guess. " Athan grinned as he looked at Mike.

Mike pondered for a moment and looked at the pile of menima crystals before saying, " I guess...70% to 75%. "

" Nope, but close. It's filled up to 83%..."

Hearing this, others were dumbfounded, and Mike said with a wry smile, " Actually, I lowered the count but seeing that your progress is 83% despite so many menima crystals, The gauge will fill up even slower as we go up. "

Athan nodded, " It slows more after passing the 70% mark, and I've noticed that the metallic beasts that spawn near me got stronger after passing the 70% mark. "

Suddenly, The Skylord turned into a ball of light and entered Athan's body.

At this time, Qerin said, " Athan, You should feel the new power of your altar spirits and make a perfect set of armaments depending on their new ability. That way, you can achieve maximum efficiency of their Spirit Armament form. "

Athan nodded and closed his eyes as he sensed the new power coming out from Skylord, who was floating in the main hall of his Erudite Palace.

Lucent and DeathKnight also turned into a ball of light and entered Athan's Erudite palace.

Outside, There were still many menima crystals left.

Athan was carefully sensing their new powers and felt that the power was really unique and felt slightly similar to Rule power but not at the same time.

After a while, His altar spirits were done with their power up after reaching the first stage of spirit armament and told Athan to start the process where they would turn into their first Spirit armament form.

' A form that could harness their newly acquired power perfectly, huh? But I also don't want to look weird with no sense of harmony in the armament design. '

He thought for a few moments and decided how he would proceed with this as he also told his altar spirits about the forms he imagined.

[ Wow, Master will look the coolest person with this style. ]

[ Hehe, Of course. He will really look like a supreme king with this set of armaments. ]

[ You guys...stop talking and start. Master is already concentrating. ]

...

Tiana and others saw Athan slowly floating as colorful lights surrounded him.

" What is he doing? It looks his armaments will be one hell of an artwork seeing this. " Mike spoke as he saw Athan floating.

" True. Athan had good imagination and creativity, so his armaments will certainly look awesome. "

Avelia nodded in agreement with Tiana.

They continued to observe Athan as something started to form below him.

A black platform with dark sparkling golden patterns appeared, and it slowly started to get bigger and bigger before taking a certain shape.

There were also white, sparkling silver, dark green, and red color on his both sides that started to form into something that gave off a powerful and destructive aura.

" Holy...I can already feel that he is aiming to create something awesome and cool looking from this. It looks like I'll also have to carefully plan about what would be my altar spirit's second form. "

Hearing Mike, Tiana and Avelia nodded seriously. As Athan's life partners, They felt that they would let down Athan if they looked out of proportion with their armament forms, just like many others they observed on the battlefield.
