The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 270: Advanced Ascender

Chapter 270: Advanced Ascender

Reikent and Athan started walking towards another place in this central town because Reikent has some business here with someone.

They arrived in front of an old shop and entered. There wasn't any board outside the shop that displayed its name.

Athan didn't see anything inside the shop except the furniture. There was a long table like in a bar and some chairs on the other side, but Athan didn't see any glass, bottles, or any such things. There were some paintings and wall attached cupboards behind the long table, but that's was all.

" Wait here and sit on the chair. I'll be back in a few minutes. " Reikent told Athan and then started moving towards a door inside the shop that seemed to lead deeper into the shop.

Athan nodded as he watched Reikent entering through the door and then sat down on a chair.

He had already worn the armor he bought, The Aquafest. However, he can't use it to its best because he needs chaos essence to use its additional function, which can boost the armor's defense and activate an ability that comes with it.

The pouch inside his void region still has three thousand eight hundred low-grade chaos stones because he didn't plan to buy any weapon right now.

Previously, He was hanging the storage pouch at his waist, but he felt that It was a bad decision, so he tried to put it inside his void region after he bought the armor, and it worked. At that time, Reikent was surprised and told him that he shouldn't be able to store the things of chaosverse inside his inner space without understanding a type of space order. But then he attributed this function to what he thought was Athan's unique physique.

It was true that he had a unique physique in a way, both soul and body physiques. Reikent displayed envy and told how lucky Athan was to have such a physique, but he figured that Athan's physique might not be able to store higher-grade items. Though, Low-grade storage pouches and chaos stones should be fine.

After five minutes, Athan saw the door opening and Reikent coming out with a bag. The bag was half of his size, and its shape was round.

Reikent's expression displayed helplessness, and Athan also saw another person coming out right behind Reikent; This person looked old and was not a human. He had four legs, and each leg had sharp-looking three dark brown talons. The old man also had a feathered head and big ears.

Reikent put the bag down and spoke with a glare, " Old man Forage. You sure don't have a 4-star storage ring? Am I supposed to carry this with me to the Organization? "

The old man Forage smiled wryly, " Stop asking me again and again. Someone badly wanted a 4-star storage ring and even offered me a 50% higher price than normal, so I sold it. Now go and deliver it safely. "

Reikent shook his head and picked up the bag before he started walking towards the exit while speaking, " Let's go, Athan. Also, Old man Forage. Don't blame me if someone steals this big bag from me. There are bound to be some people who cast their greedy eyes on this thing even if they don't know what's inside. "

Reikent and Athan left the shop while the old man Forage shook his head with a wry smile.

Athan and Reikent didn't stop anywhere this time and directly arrived at the exit of the Central town before he summoned his companion beast.

After they took off to the air and started flying, Athan asked, " Why you can't store this thing inside your inner space? And from the looks of it, You need better storage rings to store higher-grade items. "

Reikent nodded with a grin on his face, " Yep. This is really troublesome, but we can't do anything about it. The space-time of chaosverse is not as normal and simple as the space-time of the universes. There is no whole and single concept of anything here. Everything is chaotic here, and you have to grasp and comprehend their orders to use these chaotic powers. "

Athan nodded, and although he felt that he might be able to store that bag inside his void region, He felt no need to try it.

They didn't encounter any trouble in their return trip like what he expected, ' Looks like he was just joking with the old that about the bag getting stolen by greedy people. '

Both Athan and Reikent returned to the organization. Athan went to his abode and started training to make his connection with the source dimension deeper while Reikent went to do his work.

Time passed as after a month. Athan finally made his connection deeper, and he successfully became Advanced Ascender. The primal essence he produced now was ten percent stronger than the primal essence he produced when he was a Novice Ascender.

He stretched his body and rested for a few minutes while watching the beautiful and peaceful scenery before he once again entered meditation and started training.

Another month and some days passed, and today, Athan suddenly opened his eyes as he sensed someone's presence.

Athan saw a beautiful lady coming towards him. She wore a fancy dress with revealing clothes as her snow-white cleavage was for everyone to see that revealed a G-sized bust. Her long ash brown hair also fluttered behind her.

She arrived in front of Athan and stood five meters away before speaking with a smile, " Hello, Little brother. I am also a one-star special guest of this organization, and I am here to ask if you have any chaos spirits. I need 1-star common and rare chaos spirits, and I will pay one thousand low-grade chaos stones for 1-star common chaos spirits and five thousand low-grade chaos stones for 1-star rare chaos spirits. "

Athan stood up and thought, ' Looks like there are also differences in chaos spirits and large at that. ' He then shook his head towards the lady and spoke, " I don't have any chaos spirits. Till my journey here, I never owned a chaos spirit before. "

Lady revealed a surprised expression before smiling, " No problem. My name is Nalani, and If you find anyone willing to sell 1-star chaos spirits, please give that person my contact.? "

Saying this, Nalani produced a card from her storage ring and threw it towards Athan before she flew away.

Athan grabbed the card and saw a circle with an eccentric design on it. He put the card in the storage pouch inside his void region before he continued to practice.

Time passed, and after fifteen days, Athan once again opened his eyes as he sensed Reikent presence.

Reikent arrived in front of Athan with a wry smile and said, " There's a little trouble regarding the 1-star guest contract I gave you. "

Athan nodded with a plain face and asked, " What's the problem? "

It's not like he wanted these perks when he was not that strong in the first place. He was fine with how all regular ascender starts their journey here.

"It's not that serious, but an elite member has requested that since you are not able to use the crimson power pool as an ascender, your this year's quota of using it should be given someone he recommends. "

Athan nodded and thought for a moment before saying, " I don't have any problem with that. If I can't use that crimson pool, then you can give my quota to someone else. "

Reikent made a difficult face and sighed, " If I allow this, someone else might also ask for your library quota, which is important to you. Anyway, How is your progress? can you see yourself progressing towards the Advanced Ascender? "

" Well...I already reached Advanced Ascender and I might reach the next level after ten to fifteen days, I think. " He took one and a half months to become Advanced Ascender.

Hearing this, Reikent was shocked, " Are you serious? How strong is your soul sense? " But right after asking this, He laughed out loud and spoke, " Anyway, This is good news. With these, I can hundred percent save your library quota. But about the crimson power pool...you might lose this year's quota. "

After he finished speaking, Reikent started thinking while looking at Athan deeply, and after a few minutes, He said, " Your body and...your soul both are someone different than normal ascenders. Anyway, I am not interested in your past story but the future. So...How about this? Want to try to take a dip into the Crimson power pool? If you managed to absorb its power, Your body would be strengthened depending on how long you managed to stay inside it. But..."

Athan raised his eyebrows, " But Ascenders can't absorb the pool's benefits, right? "

Reikent nodded with a grin, " True, but your body is somewhat different. You have a unique physique, so you might be able to absorb it. Generally, only those whose body is refined by chaos essence can enter the crimson power pool, but I think you might be able to do that too due to your physique. What do you think? The final decision is on you. "
