The Tale of the Void Emperor

A group of people was standing near a chaotic portal that leads to the newly spawned C-grade Chaos phenom dimension.

Tronel, Samira, and Chunsi were standing a bit further away from the group in different directions as if they were on alert.

In the group near the portal were four men, five ladies. But only three of them were humans. Others were humanoid with mixed races. One of them even had a lizard head and skin with two powerful-looking tails.

This lizard-head spoke in a rather dissatisfied tone, " What are we waiting for? People of other organizations already went inside. Tsk. "

Shiromi glanced at him indifferently before speaking, " Tongliz. If you want to go alone, then you are free to do so. But, We will only leave after one more member arrives. "

" Who is that, Sister Shiromi? "

One of the girls spoke. She looked relatively young and was a human without any additional body features.

Before Shiromi could answer, She saw Aakerin and Athan coming towards them.

" They are here. Let's go. "

Others in the group saw Athan and Aakerin coming towards there. They recognized Aakerin, but it was the first time since they saw Athan.

But apparently, One of the men recognized Athan and spoke in a natural high-pitch voice," That person...I saw him sparring with Mrs. Shiromi in our Organization's C-grade CPD. "

Others were surprised to hear that. All people gathered here were Peak Master order elites, which means they could break through from the Tier-3 order base with a slight opportunity and reach Orderic Catastrophe.

Tongliz snorted and blatantly used his soul sense on Athan, who had already reached near the group.

Athan instantly felt it and glanced at Tongliz before a small grin formed on his face. He allowed this weak soul sense to take a peek at his void soul.

*thud!*

The group of people saw Tongliz falling down while heavily breathing as he looked at Athan with fear.

But Athan was not paying attention to him anymore as he greeted Shiromi.

" What happened, Tongliz? "

" Why are you trembling? Did you had a daymare or what? Hahaha. "

" Get a grip, Tongliz. You are the second most powerful person in our group after Mrs. Shiromi. "

Tongliz wiped the sweat on his lizardy face before he slowly stood up. But the fear in his eyes when he looked at Athan didn't fade away. What he sensed with his soul sense was simply too frightening: He felt like a black beast was going to devour him as an innate fear was produce from his own soul.

Ducking his head down, He thought, ' Who is he? He can't be just a Master Order elite like us. Or is he also someone like Mrs. Shiromi?  '

While Tongliz was thinking, one of the men who looked like he was in his thirties shook the shoulder of Tongliz before saying, " Snap out of your daze and start moving. "

Tongliz looked up and saw that everyone was going inside the portal and spoke incoherently to the man, " Ah, My b-bad. Let's go. "

Athan, Shiromi, and the group entered the portal.

Seeing this, Tronel, Samira, Chunsi, and Aakerin gathered near the portal. Several additional presences also appeared as more people gathered near the portal in groups and looked at each other with hostility.

In the group of warrior's valley, A buffed man with strong muscles and two-meter tall spoke while looking at Tronel and others, " I heard that one of your members known as Shiromi became won in a Penta regional tournament? Hehehe..."

Tronel narrowed his eyes before he laughed out loud, " Hahaha. Indeed. But I heard that someone from warrior's valley and Rozuin Clan also won in the same Penta regional tournament as our Shiromi. "

But after Tronel finished speaking, Samira snorted spoke arrogantly, " Humph, They are lucky. If they met Shiromi inside the chaos phenom dimension of the tournament, They wouldn't have survived. "

" Warrior's valley and Youhan Tree. If you want to fight, then go do it somewhere else. "

...

Inside the C-grade Chaos Phenom Dimension, whose name turned out to be Spezil Flame Dimension,  Athan, Shiromi, and other eight people were moving rapidly.

They had summoned their own chaos beasts and flew on them while exploring this dimension.

After a while, Shiromi told the group to stop when a burning pond appeared. This pond was a Wild chaotic power. The flames burning on it looked like light grey flames with an orange hue in them.

" Why did we stop here, Mrs. Shiromi? "

One of the men questioned politely with a questioning look. He had blue skin, big eyes, and a single antenna on his forehead.

" While we are here to breakthrough to Orderic catastrophe, Athan here is to progress in his Tier-3 order base since he is still at an Early-stage. "

Indeed, They saw Athan going near the pond.

But the next thing he did made everyone stupified, including Shiromi.

*shuwaa...*

" W-what are you doing, Athan!? "

Shiromi shouted as she dashed near the pond because Athan jumped into the pond.

But she soon saw Athan popping out his head from the pond as he said plainly, " Clam down. As you can see, I am training. "

His clothes were burned, and he was lit up in this strange flame while his skin was cracking and bleeding but also healing at the same time.

At this time, The group also arrived near the pond as they looked at Athan with a dumbfounded expression and fright in their eyes.

Shiromi frowned as she looked at the injuries being inflicted on Athan's body.

Cait, the young-looking human girl, advised Athan, " This is dangerous. You are not supposed to train this way. Instead, You should just rile some of the wild chaotic power and take them on portion by portion. "

Athan indifferently spoke to the group and also Shiromi, " Just wait here until I fill up my early-stage essence core and don't worry about me. "

After saying that, He went inside the pond and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Shiromi was going to say something, but Athan directly left after speaking his part. With a wry smile, she said to the group, " Let's wait, everyone. We will leave after he is finished. It won't take long because almost at the end of saturating his early-stage essence core. "

Hearing that, Most of them frowned and were confused.

A woman who looked to be in his thirties and wore a white dress with green design and pattern spoke with her forehead creased into a frown; her voice filled with skepticism, " Leave after he is finished? Are you joking, Mrs. Shiromi? "

One of the men nodded as he also agreed with her and asked doubtfully, " Mhmm... Will he survive there? I don't think he can. Everyone could see that his body was seriously getting injured.  Why did we take someone like him here? He courted his own death. Let's not waste time here and move on. The organization can't blame us for this. "

Shiromi looked at the group with slight anger, but before she could speak, Tongliz spoke in a surefire way, " He will definitely survive. So, just wait. "

The group was startled seeing Tongliz taking the side of Athan.

Shiromi also looked at Tongliz with a surprised expression before thinking, ' So that was Athan's doing. Although I couldn't sense anything about Athan, Tongliz fell down and was scared after using his soul sense on him. I wonder what Athan did to him to make him scared like that? '

She is sensitive to the soul and has very high talent in it. She also has an extraordinary power of soul due to her unique soul physique.

At this time, The group asked why Tongliz was so confident that Athan would survive. But Tongliz just answered indifferently, " You don't need to know why I am confident about this. But He will survive, and we will leave after that. Mrs. Shiromi obviously is also staying here, so just wait. We have a lot of time to explore this dimension. "

Others couldn't comprehend why he would say such a thing now when he was the first one who complained and was in a hurry to go inside the dimension.

" Alright, everyone. Instead of just staying here, Why don't you scout surroundings? But don't go too far and go as pairs. Definitely do not go behind those hilly areas and also the forest area in the west. Scout within a one-kilometer radius with me as the center because that's the current limit of my soul radar. "

Shiromi instructed everyone on what to do as the group members left to scout in pairs of two. She then closed her eyes as she used her unique soul physique's power to sense everything within a one-kilometer radius. Despite her closed eyes, She could see everything more clearly and better.
