The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 113: Truth, Secret & Quagmire

Athan looked at the mark with confusion as he had never seen something like this before.

" What is it? "

The mark slowly disappeared as if sinking back into her hand before Avelia opened her eyes and said with a sigh, " This is....a Chaotic Spirit. "

Taking a deep breath, She continued, " My mother was fortunate enough to encounter this Chaotic Spirit, and the spirit was even willing to form a contract with her. But...Since the spirit was a bit special, It attracted greed. "

" The chaotic spirits are very rare, and there's not much information about it. It is generally impossible to forcefully contract with a chaotic spirit as they are also very powerful. The only way to get a chaotic spirit so far is if the chaotic spirit itself is willing. But The chaotic spirit that my mother formed a contract with was the first one that was not violent and seemed to be in the infancy stage. Due to this, My family....no Zenford family cast their greedy eyes on it. More specifically, The Ancestor of the Zenford clan. "

Athan was shocked to hear such information as it was indeed....sensitive, ' No wonder she was hesitating to tell me this. '

" But what if they find out that you have the chaotic spirit? "

Avelia shook her head with a sad smile as tears welled in her eyes and said, " They won't know. One day, my mother gave me a special ring that looked similar to the ring I always wore and told me that I always wear this ring, and said that on my 18th birthday, I would finally find the truth.

But...but..*sobs* The next day, My mother was found dead. My father told me that she died because a group of mercenaries attacked her, so she took her life and exploded with her chaotic spirit.

At that time, I didn't understand anything because I was small, but when I turned 18, the ring automatically disintegrated. A small creature then appeared inside my Mystic Realm, along with my mother's voice. "

Avelia wiped her tears as she remembered the exact words her mother spoke to her, " At that time, I finally found the truth. She transferred the spirit to me through the ring while she used a small part of the spirit to let everyone know that she exploded with a chaotic spirit. In her message, She told me that If I ever find a person that can cause resonance with the chaotic spirit, then rely on that person and get that person's help. She said If that person is a boy, marry him as it would be the best choice and give him the chaotic spirit for a safe life after you feel that he can protect you. "

She took a breath to calm her agitation from remembering her mother and continued, " She also told me to behave normally in the family and don't think about avenging me but...I wanted to avenge my mother, and since you were that special person, My mind was clouded and confused with so many thoughts upon finally finding you that I could not hold back myself and acted stupidly."

Athan didn't know what to say, He naturally didn't want the chaotic spirit, and her troubles are such that he can't solve them with his current strength.

Avelia saw Athan's expression and smiled while her eyes were filled with tears which kept at bay and didn't let them fall, " You don't have to worry. I...can't and don't want to put you in danger because of me. "

She wiped her tears before they could fall and said with a bitter smile, " Since I could not let you fall for me, then I will...not continue. I won't bother you from now on. "

Saying this, She didn't wait for Athan to say anything and turned around before saying, " I hope that you eat my food one last time. "

She then started moving towards the treehouse house and entered the kitchen.

Athan was stunned hearing that and didn't know how to reply to her, " She...is serious, I can feel it but..... " Shaking his head, he muttered, " I already have Tiana. "

He rubbed his temples as he felt confused and troubled over this situation, but one thing he knew was that her troubles were indeed too great for him to handle.

" If I were a peak-level being, then I would've helped her. " Athan muttered, but he felt...all mushy and powerless inside his heart.

' Sigh, I just declared that she is my best friend and now...I can't be of any help to her. What will happen to her after leaving? what if she gets caught? '

He clenched his fist in anger because he didn't like the current situation.

' Should...I ask senior Rishen's help? But the enemy of Avelia is an Ancestor-level figure. Although I don't know how powerful they are but what if Senior Rishen himself gets in trouble too? Damn...'

....

" Oh god...Why is guardian brother so stubborn? Can't he see that she loves him very much and is now even willing to separate from him just because she doesn't want to put him in danger? Right Big sister Tiana? "

Tiana sighed and said, " Mimi, Avelia truly cares about Athan now, and even if Athan accepted her and her feelings, She would still leave him so as not to put him in danger. She might not have this plan at first and wanted Athan's help for real. but the way she is right now, She would never put him in danger because of her. "

She fell into thought for a while and said, " My guess is that since she found that special person is Athan but unable to see Athan in danger because of her due to her feelings, She will live in darkness from now own, Constantly hiding so as not to get caught if they ever found about her secret. "

Mimi fell into silence as her eyebrows knitted and her face fell into a sad expression, " That's such a sad thing...Mimi doesn't like it. "

...

After entering the kitchen, Avelia could not hold back as tears started to fall from her eyes, and she started sobbing, but her conviction did not waver.

' I am sorry, mother, I can't rely on Athan. I just can't make his life tough and put him in danger because of me. He is bound to reach greater heights than anyone, and I don't want to become his obstruction. But I will definitely avenge you, With my own hands. '

...

Meanwhile, A teacher of Myriad Stars Academy that looked around 40 years old and had a bald head seems to be on the way to Athan's treehouse; His intention is unknown. At the same time, The place where the meeting was undergoing at the Legendary Sector.

In the meeting hall, One figure after another disappeared.

But two people stayed as if it was agreed beforehand.

One looked elderly and had faint similarities to Senior Rishen, while another looked like a middle-aged man with dark brown short hair.

The elderly man spoke with a grim expression, " Rotal, You must have sensed the thing inside her body after it mistakenly let out its presence during the test. Am I right? "

Rotal Zenford had a confused face and said, " Senior Rath, I don't know what you are talking about. And can I go now, please? I have some family matters to attend to. I stayed because you told me to, but I really have no idea what you are talking about. "

Hearing his words, Senior Rath snorted and let out an invisible pressure before speaking in a threatening way, " Don't cross the line that I've set up. Otherwise...I don't mind erasing you."

He then stood up and looked at him with a cold eye before speaking slowly, " You should know that I am capable of doing so, and nobody will object to my actions. Keep your ambition in check and if you really want something, then get it with your own ability instead of seizing from a junior. "

After he was done speaking, He disappeared from the hall.

Alone in the hall, Rotal Zenford's face twisted in anger as he thought, ' Fucking old fart, Just wait for me to get the chaotic spirit. Then we'll see how you erase me. '

He then took out a silver plate with symbols and patterns, which started shining shortly after taking it out.

With his eyes clouded in greed, He muttered, " You better do your job properly. "

...

At this time, Avelia was done cooking the food with her eyes filled with tears that fell occasionally.

She then entered her Genesis Realm before her Genesis Avatar spoke to a small white fox with silver horns and exquisite fur.

" You...want to form a contract with that guy outside, right? "

The silver fox nodded its head with its pure and naive eyes, unable to see the sadness behind Avelia's smile.

" Don't worry. Your new master is way better than me, and he will also be able to heal you faster and make you stronger, just like those real chaotic spirits. Thank you for helping me until now. I will now undo the contract, okay? "

*whee heen heen*

The silver foxed let out some kind of sound as it revealed a happy expression on its cute face.

Avelia was prepared to undo the contract while Athan was standing outside with an uncomfortable expression as he tried to think of some ways to help Avelia.

The bald teacher spotted the tree where Athan's treehouse was located and revealed a grim and sad expression before his eyes turned resolute as he muttered, " I have already informed Teacher's hall that I am here to test Avelia and, if possible, let her become my student. Even if something goes wrong, I can finish my task in an instance. "

He then took out the same silver plate that was similar to what was in the hand of Rotal Zenford and thought while his hands trembled, ' I hope you will let go of my wife and daughter after I finish your task. '
