The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 319: Finale-4, Dread.

Athan didn't look at the middle-aged man for more than two seconds after hearing what he said and returned his attention to Sen before asking her a question.

" Are you used to feeling pain? If so, How much? "

Sen revealed a confused expression, " What do you mean by that? "

Athan wryly smiled before he cracked his right hand's finger, " Nothing. It's just...You might feel intense pain during the fight. I suggest you instantly give up at that moment. "

Hearing that, Sen narrowed her eyes, but before she could say anything more, The middle-aged man coughed to grab their attention.

" No more talks. "

" FIGHT...ON! "

Sen put her hands on the zither's string instantly before releasing the same kind of attack that she used on Athan when they fought previously.

On the other hand, Athan released two skyline blows from his legs to propel himself upward at a fast speed before once again releasing two skyline blows to push himself towards Sen.

The three birds instantly adjusted their direction as they still shot towards Athan.

In just one and a half-second, Athan, who was shooting forward towards Sen, came into contact with the three birds.

*creeeee....*

*Shwaa...Booom..*

Athan had eighty percent of his abyssal darkness, and he used twenty percent to protect his vital body parts.

But Sen was wary of Athan from the start after seeing his fight against Gemdamo, So this time, She used her full power.

Her zither shined in light gold brilliance with blue sparks, and her body also gave a similar color glow as she gathered order force towards her zither before using both of her hands two play the zither.

*tatang tatang, tiiing tiing, traaaaaaaang...*

Athan's body was not visible because he was surrounded by deadly, chaotic power after getting blasted by the three bird's powers.

On top of it, This new attack of Sen was terrifying as two majestic giant birds materialized. Both of them were two meters long, and each had four wings with light gold and blue color patterns and brilliance.

Both of them shot towards Athan.

But suddenly, a giant cross slash was released from Athan.

Athan was mid-air when Sen's first attack hit him, but he didn't fall down due to that attack itself.

His current situation was terrible because he was severely injured in all of his body except his vital parts, such as his heart, neck, and head.

But in the midst of that, He first released a giant Sumireas slash consisting of a full twenty percent of abyssal darkness along with half of his order force with the characteristic of lightning dust.

This slash dispersed the remaining power of Sen's first attack before turning into a cross slash and clashing against the two majestic birds.

But after a second later, The cross slash, which had twenty percent of his abyssal darkness, devoured the two majestic birds while also becoming a lot smaller and weaker.

Sen's face slightly changed seeing this, but she still had her composure as she used her river-flowing protection.

This was her most powerful defense that she could maintain as long as she doesn't run out of order force and wouldn't get the slightest bit weaker.

The dark cross slash hit the river-flow protection and started to get shaved away by it.

Sen looked at Athan amidst this and was shocked because his situation was horrible.

There were holes in his body with blood, flesh, and bones coming out. His limbs were also mangled, which made her confused.

' Why did he receive this much damage this time? Previously, he wasn't injured this much by the same attack. '

Just while she was thinking this, She saw Athan actually forming a blood smile towards her with his eyes gleaming ferociously. She saw Athan moving his lips to say something.

He swung his mangled right hand while falling down from the air and released an even bigger sumireas slash.

Athan had poured his everything in this slash, the whole forty percent of his abyssal darkness.

He knows that this will result in Sen's death, Given that no one interfered. But he had a plan even if no one interferes since he can control his abyssal darkness.

' Though, I believe will most likely give up when the time comes. After all, That strange pain of getting devoured by this abyssal darkness is very strange and terrifying. '

Seeing this attack shooting towards Sen, The middle-aged man's heart reached his throat, but he didn't move. He is not allowed to interfere in the battle...unless one of them surrenders.

The cross slash that looked like it was set ablaze by an ethereal black flame hit the river-flow protection of Sen.

At that moment, Sen felt that terrifyingness. She could feel her order force rapidly draining along with her power.

' No...I can hold on. I CAN. '

Sen gritted her teeth as she used all of her energy to defend against the black cross slash, but it was of no use.

Forty percent of abyssal darkness was too much for her as her river-flow protection was breached.

But the slash didn't move forward in the same pattern, and instead, It slowed down before turning into a wide coat that covered Sen.

Actually, The cross slash that consisted of lightning dust moved forward, but Athan removed the abyssal darkness that was on it before turning into a vast flowing black aura that enveloped Sen.

The lightning dust sumireas slash didn't damage that much as even her soft armor only had a scratch after getting hit by it.

But the black aura that enveloped her rapidly ate away her armor along with her skin as she loudly screamed.

*Shriek....*

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...."

Athan also fell to the ground with a thud at this time, but with the support of his mangled hands, he sat down before saying to Sen in a deadly calm voice, " Give up...if you don't want to die. "

The spectators and other competitors were frightened hearing the voice.

Nobody would say that this voice came from someone seriously injured like Athan.

He was absolutely wasted at this time. The only thing one could do in that situation was to breathe. But Athan...He just sat there, with his horrible condition, and spoke in a calm way as if nothing happened to him.

Sen was screaming, but the word give up was not uttered from her mouth.

Athan's eyes turned cold as he controlled his abyssal darkness to go one layer deep inside Sen.

He was controlling it and only allowed in on her body's surface because of the middle-aged man's warning.

But if she didn't want to give up, then he would have to let her feel more pain.

Indeed, Not even a second after letting the abyssal darkness enter inside her, a screeching shriek of " I give up. " rang out.

Right at that moment, Athan retracted his abyssal darkness while the middle-aged man also rushed down.

He hurriedly checked Sen and found out that she had fainted.

After announcing Athan as the winner, he first sent Sen underground for treatment.

But he suddenly felt weird because, injury-wise, Athan was way more injured than Sen.

He looked at Athan and couldn't help but gulp, " You..."

" I, Yomable, want to challenge Rank 1, Athan Void. "

Right at this moment, The third rank competitor's voice rang out. Yomable had pale blue skin with a single burning horn on the middle of his forehead. The horn was burning in pale blue flame. His height was just 5 ft, and he was also slim. His skin had many pale blue hairs, and his two hands only had three fingers and one thumb. All fingers were longer than his palm with long pale blue nails.

The middle-aged man turned to Yomable, speechless. Yomable smiled and said, "Anway, It was going to be our turn to challenge the rank one, right? "

Indeed, After rank four to rank ten got the chance to challenge the top three. It was going to be rank second and rank third's turn to challenge the champion.

The middle-aged man nodded and then looked at Athan with his horrible condition, " Do you....want to give up? "

Hearing that, Athan started laughing, which scared many, and even the middle-aged man's lips and eyes twitched.

Athan laughing in that condition was really too scary for anyone. He was hundreds of times more injured than Shish, and the only reason he was alive right now was due to his heart, brain, and neck intact. Everything else was deeply and severally injured. Normal people would have directly fainted and dead after a minute.

Due to his laughter, Athan bled even more, but without caring for it, He looked at Yomable before forming a wide grin, " Prepare to die in thirty minutes. "

After saying that, He waved his hands as he ate fifteen blood recovery pills and five alignment cure pills before covering himself in a round bunker made from earth law energy.

*silence...*

Everything turned to silence. Those last words and actions of Athan were deeply rooted in everyone's mind as they couldn't help but shiver.

All spectators and competitors were wondering how he would heal that many injuries in just thirty minutes and continue to fight, but...they had a strange premonition seeing Athan's last actions that he would really win and Yomable would die if they fought.

The middle-aged man muttered, " Thirty minutes..." Nodding his head, He then looked at Yomable, who also had a clear expression of dread on his face with a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
