The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 288: Tronel

Chapter 288: Tronel

" Yo Boss and Lil Leib...And...that little brother over there. " A six ft tall man appeared from a light blue portal and greeted Yone, Leib, and Athan.

He had a giant broad sword behind his back and wore a long robe with red and black patterns and design on it. He had long spiky dark blue hair and brown-colored skin. He was a pure human being, just like Reikent.

Yone smiled and introduced him to Athan, " Athan. Meet Tronel, another member of Hidden Dragon Troupe. " Afterward, Yone told Tronel about Athan and how he was a new member of the group.

Tronel somewhat guessed that they were getting a new member after seeing Athan because this chaos rift was their base of operation, and seeing someone new here means they were finally getting a new member after a long time.

" Did he already take the oath? "

Hearing the question, Leib also looked at Yone as he didn't know if Athan already took the oath or not. Yone only told him that they were getting a new member after meeting with him before arriving here.

" Nope. He had yet to take the oath. But now's a good time. " Saying this, Yone looked at Athan and spoke with a smile, " Athan, you know the oath. "

Athan nodded plainly and took the oath, " With the Chaosverse as a witness, I take the oath. " Right after Athan finished speaking this, a small dark cloud materialized right on top of his head. But Athan continued, " If I betray my comrades or members of the Hidden Dragon Troupe, my soul and body will be utterly destroyed and turn into the nourishment of Chaosverse. "

After Athan finished speaking, He sensed a palpitating aura from the cloud on top of his head for a second before the cloud disappeared. But he knew that It has marked and recorded this oath and his existence. If he broke the oath, then the cloud will come to him and utterly destroy his soul and body before absorbing it for the nourishment of Chaosverse.

" Hahaha. Good. " Tronel laughed out loud before he grinned at Athan and asked, " So? How strong are you? "

Hearing that, Leib smiled faintly and spoke lazily, " Why don't you check it yourself? Just use the chaos sight. "

Chaos sight was something that one gains naturally when their order base reaches Tier-3. One of the functions of chaos sight was that they could sense the order base of people in the same tier of order base as them. Naturally, the one being sighted upon would instantly know if someone observed them with chaos sight.

Tronel looked questionably at Yone and Athan, but seeing Yone nodding at him, Tronel used Chaos sight to check out Athan's order base.

Athan felt something different around Tronel but couldn't sense it clearly. Though, he knew that whatever that chaos sight was...It can't see through him.

Indeed. A second later, Tronel involuntarily exclaimed and hurriedly cupped his fist towards Athan and bowed a little, " So you are a Zen Order Master..." After that, Tronel revealed a hesitant and embarrassed expression before he continued, " Could I request senior to give me some pointers? Also, please forgive me for calling you little brother earlier. "

After saying this, Tronel also spoke telepathically to Yone, ' Boss, What's going on? How did you find this powerhouse to join us? '

On another side, Yone and Leib were suppressing their laugher, and Athan had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Leib laughed out loud as he couldn't bear it anymore.

" Hahahahaha, Tronel. You didn't betray my expectation and showed the exact response I wanted to see. "

Tronel was confused, " What? What's going on? I am stuck being a median Zen order elite, so what's wrong in asking some pointers from a senior? "

Yone also couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Knowing Tronel's nature, He also knew that Tronel would react like this after failing to sense Athan's power.

If Tronel observed Athan in the slightest of action, like using or absorbing chaos essence from the atmosphere, He would know that Athan was weak and not a Zen order master that he expected, but he just arrived while Athan was listening about the operation Conquer from Yone and just greeted them.

' Boss! What's going on? I can't sense his order base or even his body aura, and that only means that he is an entire order above me. '

Yone received another message from Tronel and let out a good laugh before he said to confused Tronel, " Calm down, Tronel. Athan is just a novice order apprentice. "

" What?! But...how? " Tronel felt like banging his head when Yone suddenly told him that Athan was just a novice order apprentice.

Tronel was the second strongest in the Hidden Dragon Troup, with the strongest being Yone. Tronel was a fighting maniac, and he was always trying to progress and improve himself. His unique talent and drive to become stronger helped him become a zen order elite faster despite being just a thousand years old.

Yone grinned and told Tronel about the uniqueness of Athan.

On the other hand, Athan also cleared his confusion after thinking about it, ' It looks like my innate power that one can't see through my body increased in effect after I comprehended more about the Abyssal Void of Fabrication and also broke through. Otherwise, Tronel would've at least sensed the aura of my body, which should be like an ant to him. '

He then couldn't help but smile, thinking how Yone and Leib made a fool of Tronel.

Tronel was speechless and glared at Leib and Yone after hearing the truth, and in the end, he just sighed and smiled towards Athan, " Athan, You saw how these two are, so be careful in the future lest they prank you too. Anyway, Welcome to our small family. If you need any help, then don't hesitate to ask me. "

Athan nodded with a smile and said, " Sure, I will. " He then also caught the card that traveled in front of him with a wave of Trone's hand.

" This is my contact card. You should know how to use it. " After saying this, Tronel asked Athan, " So, how old are you, Athan?? "

Athan was confused at this question of Tronel, but he was just going to answer when he heard the voice of Reikent from behind him.

Behind Athan, A blue portal appeared, and from it, two people came out. One of them was Reikent, and another was a woman with five red tails behind her back and two red horns on her head. Her body skin was white with slightly red patterns that could be faintly seen on her skin.

Reikent heard the question and answered with a laugh, " Athan is just three months old. "

Hearing this, Athan was dumbfounded and asked, " What do you mean? "

Reikent grinned and said, " You are indeed just three months old. When you become the being of Chaosverse after breaking through from the peak ascender, your soul transforms qualitatively, which also causes your lifespan to reset. "

" I see..." Athan nodded in a surprised manner but internally, he frowned because his soul didn't change qualitatively like mentioned by Reikent. But after he thought for a moment, he found the answer, ' It should be because my soul is already transformed into a unique one after the mutation. At least, the quality level of my soul should be on the same level as the people who become the chaotic being after it mutated. '

" And yes. After the lifespan resets, The limit of one's lifespan becomes a thousand years. Of course, When you advance in order base, you gain more lifespan. With your talent, you don't have to worry about lifespans anyway. "

Hearing this, Tronel coughed and eyed Reikent.

Seeing this, Reikent laughed and said to Athan, " Of course, there are cases when your progression speed becomes slow after a certain amount of time as the difficulty to advance higher increases. "

At this time, The lady who had two red horns and five red tails chuckled and said to Athan, " Tronel only took a thousand years to become a zen order elite, but he hasn't made any progress and is stuck at being a median zen order elite since the last five hundred years. "

After saying this, The lady introduced herself with a smile, " My name is Aakerin. Rei told me everything about you. Welcome to our little family, Athan. If you encounter any problem, then you can call me. "

Aakerin then gave Athan her contact card.

" Alright. since everyone has gathered, Then let's start the meeting. We will also speed up and start our operation after two days since Athan is also done stabilizing himself after his breakthrough. "

Hearing what Yone said, Everyone nodded.

Tronel knew from Yone that Athan was also participating in the operation after he was pranked and when Yone told him everything about Athan him.

Leib already knew this from Yone before they arrived here and Reikent also told about Athan to Aakerin before they arrived here.
