The Tale of the Void Emperor

Four more months passed as Athan was still standing with his eyes closed. The number of threads had increased and were more profound.

Tiana and Avelia also went to Newbie Event Palace and cleared the four events.

No surprise as they jumped to rank 3rd & 4th.

Today, They were sparring with each other as usual after training.

But suddenly...A bright golden light shot in the sky that attracted everyone's attention.

Tiana and others descended and looked at Athan in surprise..

The golden light was released from the Runic brush in his hand as it was going to rapid changes.

All those threads surrounding Athan were infusing into the runic brush in Athan's hand.

Athan opened his eyes that gleamed with excitement while his face had a faint and confident smile.

He waved his right hand as he took out hundred thousand low-grade chaos stones in his right side while taking out all of his void pulse in front of him.

Afterward, He closed his eyes and started waving the Runic brush in front of the void pulse, which slowly transformed.

While he was forming runic patterns on the voidpulse that was transforming into something, a small mouth of abyssal darkness conjured and started eating the chaos stones.

A good chunk of chaos stones disappeared as Athan used up all of his abyssal darkness.

But he didn't stop his work of forming runic patterns and...creating runic symbols on the mass of voidpulse.

After ten minutes, Athan waved his hand as he infused lightning dust inside a mass of voidpulse that was resembling a creature.

The creature looked like a small tiger, and it had runic patterns carved over its body by Athan.

Another ten minutes passed as Athan waved his other hand and released abyssal darkness towards the creature.

The creature slowly turned black and white with golden patterns and yellow-brown veins over its body.

Afterward, for the next hour, Athan only used his Runic brush to carve various runic patterns and form symbols.

Tiana was shocked as she looked at those complicated runic patterns and symbols, "Five layers of runic patterns and three-dimensional runic symbols...along with that brush..."

Avelia looked at Tiana and asked with excitement, "What stage of Runic Artist Athan became?"

Tiana smiled widely and laughed, "Hahaha, Athan became 8-star Runic Artist."

Linci looked at the Athan and the thing in front of him before saying in a shocked voice, "What is he creating? He is using his unique powers to create something with his own Runic patterns and symbols."

At this time, many people also arrived because the golden beam was quite long and thick.

Dean Lenix and other Hill Masters arrived and saw Athan, who had his eyes closed while creating something with his Runic Brush.

"HIll Master Faoust, are my eyes playing tricks or...those five runic patterns and three-dimensional symbols are real? Only 8-star Runic Artist can form three dimensional runic symbols with five-layered runic patterns."

Hill Master Faoust was a Master Runic Artist ( 10-star Runic Artist are considered Master Runic Artist ), and he had a serious expression on his face as he looked at the thing that was in front of Athan.

Dean Lenix didn't walk on the path of Runic Artist, but he knew general information and could recognize the five-layered runic patterns and Three-dimensional runic symbols, 'Athan...hahaha, you are making my hopes even higher with every shocking feat you display.'

He turned to Hill Master Faoust and asked, "Faoust, do you have any rough idea on what is Athan creating?"

Hill Master Faoust had a serious expression as he focused on the runic patterns and three-dimensional runic symbols on the strange creature.

After ten minutes, His serious expression turned into a slight frown," Dean, as you know that each Runic Artist creates his own runic patterns and runic symbols by understanding the set of the order of every effect in this Chaosverse. I can roughly understand the meaning of those runic patterns and symbols, but I have no idea what he is creating."

Hearing him, everyone was shocked.

Shaking his head, Faoust continued with a wry smile, "As a Master Runic Artist, I should be able to understand what he is creating, but the thing he is creating...I have never seen it before, and I don't know what that creature and those powers are."

With his gaze still on Athan's work, He spoke with narrowed eyes, "With how impeccably he is working on his art, It won't take long for him to become a Master Runic Artist. In the first place, we all know that all those people in history who managed to receive the Blessing of the Runic order managed to become Master Runic Artist rapidly."

"You are right, Hill Master Faoust. But nobody in history managed to receive Blessing of the Runic order this fast and this early. I heard he was just 3-star Runic Artist when he managed to enter this enlightenment. But among those in history, the earliest one who managed to enter this enlightenment was 7-star Runic Artist. So it might still take a long time for Athan to reach Master Runic Artist."

"You are wrong, Hill Master Zoltan," Faoust shook his head before he continued, "Athan managed to enter this enlightenment and...most importantly, he stayed for one year in it. This is the highest time spending while receiving this Blessing. The highest record was seven months, but Athan had broken it and received it for a year."

Hill Master Faoust's mouth formed an arc as he spoke, "I think we are going to witness a birth of Runic Grandmaster in the near future and whatever he is creating...hehe, I can't wait to see it."

Runic Grandmaster!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

To date, They have only heard about Runic Grandmaster but have never seen one in lower-Chaosverse. Many Hill-masters and Dean Lenix knew and even saw Runic Grandmasters, but they saw them in upper-Chaosverse, not here.

Dean Lenix's eyes gleamed with excitement, 'If Athan managed to reach Runic Grandmaster before going to upper-Chaosverse...no, it doesn't matter even if he becomes Runic Grandmaster after going there. But if he managed to reach it, his value will shoot up by a significant margin, and the main organization will grant him special status.'

Unfortunately, Dean Lenix didn't know about the future plan of Athan. Otherwise, he wouldn't be thinking of such things.

But Primo was looking with disdain at everyone and thought, 'A bunch of ignorant fellows. Master being able to do this is the most given thing in the world. But it's good that they recognize his greatness, Nyahamph.'
