The Tale of the Void Emperor

Seeing Arcued claws piercing Opak and blood flowing out like crazy, Kazia's group panicked and glared at Athan.

Athan clapped his hands and released two whips of Voidpulse towards Arcued and Opak, " Alright. The battle is over. You won, Arcued. "

" Siiiii.....It hurts...it frigging hurts..."

Arcued winced in pain from the three snake's attack as his back burned and red hot bubbles formed on his back.

The two whips of voidpulses grabbed both Arcued and Opak before bringing them in front of Athan.

Kazia and the group dashed in front of Athan before she asked with a frown, " What are you doing? "

" Relax. I am just healing them. "

After taking back the whips of voidpulse, Athan waved his right hand towards Arcued and released abyssal darkness.

With his newfound control and power after breaking out his cacoon, He manifested this abyssal darkness in the form of several small beastly mouths with many small teeth.

These small beastly mouths carefully started eating the chaotic power from the back of Arcued.

After that, Athan looked at Opak, who was severely injured since his internals were a mess due to Arcued claws and its ability, ' Oh...His heart got several slashes from those small swirling needles. '

Kazia also frowned after checking Opak's condition and was just going to take out a 3-star blood recovery pill.

But before she could do that, She received a voice transmitter from Dacon, " Don't. If Opak dies, then we'll slaughter them and take revenge for him. That pretty boy's attitude is very annoying. It's like he doesn't see us as his equal. "

Kazia glared at the red skin and horn man standing beside her and spoke, " What the hell are you saying? He is our teammate. "

Dacon didn't respond to her as his face remained cold and fixated on Athan. After arriving here, He saw Athan seeing everything, like their challenge, as a joke. That's what he felt. He felt that Athan was looking at them like a bunch of kids playing, and he didn't like it.

Kazia ignored him and took out the pill, but right then, she saw Athan release two wisps of voidpulses from his hand as they passed through Opak's chest and patched up his heart. He then also threw a Blood recovery pill that went into Opak's mouth.

Naturally, He first scanned Opak's body structure with his soul sense to do that. With his superior soul and even higher comprehension ability, He quickly broke down the structure of Opak's heart. His soul had the greatest change after coming out of his cacoon, and now he can do much more things.

The voidpulse he consumed was instantly restored in just a few seconds because his abyssal darkness was eating the chaotic power from the back of Arcued.

" Cough...cough cough. " Opak regained his consciousness since he had fainted and threw a fit of coughs with a surprised expression, ' My injuries? Wait...My heart seems to be in better shape than before. What's going on? '

Athan didn't know about that since he didn't look at Opak's new heart after sending in two wisps of voidpulse to patch it up.

" Hey, pretty boy, I want to challenge you. "

At this moment, Dacon couldn't hold himself back as he walked in front of Athan and stood just two steps away from him.

His height was taller than Athan at 7.2ft, so he was looking down at Athan...in both ways.

Athan's face formed a grin as he looked up, " Someone weaker than me looking down on me leaves a bad taste in my mouth. "

Dacon sneered and put both of his hands on Athan's shoulder, " You? Stronger than me? Good Joke. "

At this time, A gleam of black and white passed through Athan's eyes as they shone briefly, and he uttered one word, " Kneel. "

" Wh-"

*thud...*

' Huh? Wha-what happened? '

Dacon was confused as to what just happened. But at this time, When his eyes met Athan's eyes, He had an illusion as an immense pressure bore down on his existence.

He saw a terrifying beast hovering over him, ready to devour him anytime.

" Aaa...Aaaaaaa....W-wha..."

His entire body and soul trembled, and he couldn't even scream properly.

*thud...*

And then, He fainted.

' It surprisingly went better than I expected. I think I can improve this in many ways. As for its name...I should call this, Gaze of Void. ' Athan thought as he used his power in a new form by using a bit of his soul energy in his mystical eyes, which can now do a few extra things If he used his soul sense and soul energy in them.

He then looked at Kazia with a smile, " I won't be wasting my time with you lot. I want to learn many new interesting things like 5-star order techniques and also need to train. If you want to spar, then you can spar with Sen and Tealery for some practice. "

Pausing there, He narrowed his eyes before continuing, " Of course, Some injuries are unavoidable but don't attack with intent to kill, or death will be the least of your concern. "

After saying that, He turned around and returned to his place, which was apparently a rock, and sat down on it before closing his eyes.

Kazia and others remained dumbfounded and didn't know how everything happened from start to end.

They saw Dacon looking down on Athan, both literally and metaphorically. After that, He put his shoulder on Athan's hand and then...He kneeled after Athan told him to kneel. He then looked at Athan and...fainted after letting out a weird sound from his mouth.

What the fuck just happened?

A girl with the light brown feathered body from the group dashed forward and checked the situation of Dacon before sighing a relief. She looked back at the group and said, " He is fine. "

Sen and Tealery smiled at each other before looking at Kazia.

" Let's have a spar. I want to adapt better to my new strength, so sparring is an excellent opportunity for it. "

Hearing Tealery, Kazia hesitated for a moment before nodding her with resolve, " Alright. We came here intending to fight you, so it would be a joke if we refused to spar. "
