The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 436: Dead?

Chapter 436: Dead?

Three hours before Athan entered the [ Race To The Peak ] event lobby, The envoys finished distributing the rewards to the organizations and clans behind the fifty people recruited into the Chaos Monolith Hill.

They then passed through the Chaos Bridge and arrived at the place where the new recruits were training to master the Cloud of Chaos.

" Someone is missing. There are only forty-nine kids here. That slaughterer is missing. " Rezy spoke with a cold frown on her face.

Other envoys who didn't pay attention there and directly conjured their cloud of chaos paused.

Rukia also noticed this as she raised her eyebrows and moved towards Shiromi, Sen, and the group before asking, " Hello girls, Where did Athan go? "

Tealery, Sen, Arcued, and others opened their eyes before they all pointed in the sky.

" He already mastered cloud of chaos long ago and flew up. " Theo stated with a respectful expression.

...

...

The envoys silently flew towards the Cloudly Plains with shock contained in their eyes.

' Mastering the cloud of chaos in just four hours? Even if it was the most basic version, people still take days to comprehend it. Hmmm... '

' I'll have to convince faction leader Rufus to recruit him into Bullet Hell Hill faction. But, that Rukia...She will be a tough block to pass since she was interested in taking Athan from the start. '

All envoys were thinking and making plans regarding Athan while flying towards the Cloudly Plains on which the Chaos Monolith Hills organization was situated.

But none of them knew that Athan had already attracted the attention of all faction leaders with his mind-boggling performance in the events.

After returning, They finished their business and reported to their factions which took two hours.

...

At present, It's been exactly a minute since Athan sat down at the same table as Linci.

The dark blue wisps were attacking Athan from Linci's body, but they would be devoured by Athan's veil of Abyssal darkness on his body as he leisurely drank wine.

Suddenly, He had a thought ' I wonder strong her strange power is? Hehe...Let's see. '

Athan grinned behind his mask as he completely lowered the defense from his body's outfit and removed the veil of abyssal darkness.

At that instance, His body felt biting and piercing cold invading as his body turned weak and stopped functioning in mere two seconds. He was frozen from inside as his skin turned dark blue before getting stiff, and...his heart stopped beating.

" W-what the hell? Th-that guys dead? "

Instantly, A commotion arose, and Linci, who was not paying attention to Athan and was instead focused on reading a book, heard the words and looked at Athan before turning shocked.

She instantly stood up and made her distance from Athan so that her strange power would stop attacking Athan.

An intense frown appeared on her face along with confusion, ' What's going on? It's been only a minute...In the Slaughter In Space lobby, he sat for two minutes at the table and was not affected in the slightest. So, why is he affected now? '

" You...you killed him. "

Someone suddenly spoke with a terrified face. Everyone looked at Linci with various expressions on their faces.

There were no heavy rules or restrictions here, and anybody could fight anyone. But...There was one thing to note: They were allowed to fight, get serious injuries, or do whatever they wanted...but killing was not allowed. If two people want to fight to the death, they can do so in Life & Death stadium.

Linci's face turned cold as she looked at the person who looked like an ape but with wooden demon horns and tail, " I warned him not to sit at the table. Humph, he was courting his own death. "

On the other hand, Athan was checking out the strange power, and he was surprised, ' Not bad. It's powerful. Very powerful. According to her, the wisps coming out from her gets stronger as time passes...Hmmm, how powerful is its true form? '

He noticed at the wisps straightly aimed his soul after entering inside, but naturally, his true soul energy easily destroyed those wisps.

After seeing its power and effects, He destroyed all the wisps that entered inside his body and recovered his body to the normal state using voidpulse.

Seeing the commotion occurring as everyone looked at Linci, He coughed a bit loudly.

All people soon noticed that he became perfectly fine from being internally frozen to death and were dumbfounded.

" What's going on? Didn't he just die? "

" Strange. Hey man, Didn't you just die? "

" Yeah, what the hell happened? Why did you become perfectly fine? "

Athan shook his head with a wry smile, " I was just checking out her strange power. Anyway, no need to make a big deal out of it. I am perfectly fine. "

After saying that, He took the glass of wine from the table and looked at frowning Linci with her eyes filled with mild shock.

" Why are you standing there? Hahaha, Chill and sit down. " Athan gestured her to sit down at the table.

Linci snapped out of her reverie before her frown intensified. Sitting at the table, She spoke after sighing, " Look. I have sworn to my..."

She suddenly paused for a second before continuing, " Anyway, I don't want to be responsible for the death of someone unrelated to me. You are not my enemy, nor did I see you do any horrible thing that makes me angry. If you were either of them, I couldn't be careless if you died. But...since you currently don't come in either of those categories, then I don't want to be responsible for your death due to my promise to someone important. "

Athan nodded as he took a sip, " Then why did you act like you didn't care when those people stated that I died? You replied coldly, saying that you warned me and I courted my own death? "

" Humph, That's because I was in doubt regarding your death. You were not affected even after two minutes in our first meeting so it was strange that you suddenly died after a minute here. Even though I have a promise and I don't want to be responsible for such deaths, I won't feel guilty since I already warned you. So, for your own safety, you should go sit at another table. " Linci stated coldly.

" Alright, I got it. You don't have to worry about it, though. I won't die. " Athan spoke before he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, reliving the past.
