The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan met up with Drizzly and others as they congratulated him.

" Hehe, I knew that brother Athan would win. " Shish said with an excited face. He was happy for Athan.

Celesti pouted and elbowed Shish before saying, " So you also knew that your sister would not win, right? "

" Ehh..I...Of course not, " Shish became awkward for a moment before he grinned and said, " I believed you, my sister, but you failed to reach my expectation, Hehehe. "

Hearing this, Celesti was speechless, and Roselin flicked his forehead before saying helplessly, " Since when did you become this sharp-tongued? "

" Then what about me? Did you believe that I would win? "

Shish looked at Erina, who was coming towards their group with an older woman, and was stunned before his face turned slightly red, " I...I also believed that you would win. But..."

Seeing this state, Celesti chuckled, " Hey, Where is your sharp tongue now? "

Other start laughing, seeing Shish state while Erina and Celesti smiled at each other. By now, Roselin and others knew about the matter of Shish and Erina.

The older woman who came with Erina was also a woman and looked to be in her sixties and had a kind smile as she whispered in a low voice such that only Erina could hear, " Is this the boy you were talking about Erina? Not bad. "

Erina's ears turned slightly red, but she composed herself and whispered back, " Granny Ruori, please don't say unnecessary things here. "

" Master Ayurin. "

Suddenly, Roselin and the older women who came with Erina bowed slightly and greeted Ayruin with respect after seeing Ayruin and Sen coming towards their group.

Sen said to Athan while grinning, " Congrats, Athan. You made the correct choice by choosing the black card. "

Athan nodded with a faint smile before he slightly frowned and asked, " But you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Sen snorted and smiled, " Don't worry. I will also- "

" Sen! This is not the place to talk about such things. "

Sen suddenly realized and facepalmed before saying sorry to Ayurin, " Sorry, Master. I got carried away in the heat of the moment. "

Ayurin patted her head and smiled, " It's ok. " She then looked at Drizzly and revealed a surprised expression and thought, ' The dragon aura on her is unusual. '

On the other hand, Sen looked at turned to Athan and others before asking, " We are supposed to take all those who survived in our batch to Gelamix Town. If your destination is also Gelamix town, Why don't you come with us? There are twenty region masters here. Unless some of them have big backgrounds with powerful strength, they will leave with powerful masters of their respective region who were specifically called here by the Envoy to protect the survivors. "

Hearing that, Athan looked at Drizzly, who nodded back at him. He then looked at Roselin, and she also nodded and transmitted her voice to his ears, " It would be safer to go with them. After all, You are one of the winners, and you must have gained a good haul in the chaos phenom dimension. Although there wouldn't be any hunters around here, we can't say that we won't encounter them on our long way back to the town. "

Athan also agreed with her. He also knew that this was the reason that many region masters were here.

Seeing that Athan agreed to come with them, Sen and Ayurin led them towards the other group, where twenty-two survivors and their families were standing.

Athan knew some of them as they were in the top thirty of the competition while others were among the top thirty of Tier-3 order base competition. He also saw Arcued, who nodded towards him.

But among the sixty people, only Twenty-five people came out alive, including Athan, Celesti, and Erina.

Ayurin looked at the group and, seeing that the numbers were correct, She spoke in her melodic voice, " Follow me. "

After saying that, She started walking towards the north of this land.

Aside from this large ground that seemed to be man-made, other parts of this land were filled with trees and plants.

The sky of this land was filled with a blanket of sparkling white dots that seemed to be some kind of chaotic power. Athan had been to two other regions: the Dosflame region and the Toragale region. The sky of the Dosflame region is permeated with waving, colorful flames, and the sky of the Toragale region is permeated with green and black winds.

The atmosphere of this place was the most peaceful one Athan had experienced, ' Maybe this region is called Starry River Region? Oh yeah, the Envoy said something about the Vaiklaid continent. So all these regions here should be in one Vaiklaid Continent. Hmmm...There should be other continents, too, I guess. '

While walking with the group, Athan looked at the sky and thought, ' What  If I keep going up in the sky and pass through it? Is there anything after I pass through this sky? '

Athan felt that there should be a new world after passing through this sky. He suddenly felt like going there after he brings back Tiana and Avelia to his side.

*Boooom...*

A blast suddenly brought Athan out of his reverie as he looked in the front and saw a big ship.

This ship looked like a pirate ship, but it had wings and a larger and wider base than a pirate ship. It had fans instead of sails.

Athan boarded the ship, and its material felt very tough to him, ' I doubt I would make a dent even if I use my full physical strength. '

The ship was seventy meters long and fifty meters wide. There were on the surface/top floor, and there were many rooms and a hall inside the ship. It looked beautiful with its colorful design, mostly silver, light green, and black.

' This is a different ship than the one from which everyone arrived here. '

Ayurin looked at everyone before saying, " You can stay here or below two floors to take a rest. We will need a month and ten days to return to Gelamix Town. "

After saying that, She walked towards the front controller room of the ship.

Everyone scattered while Aruced talked something to his parents as they walked towards the door leading the below floors while he started walking towards Athan.
