The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 340: Dominating

When he dashed towards the pedestal that contained the strange chakram-wheel weapon, A golden barrier suddenly appeared around all pedestals.

Right after that, A thick golden beam shot towards the sky that was wide and big.

Athan stopped and frowned internally, ' It looks like this golden barrier has certain conditions before it opens up. '

He felt that one of the conditions should be the gathering of more contestants. After all, With the golden beam that just shot upward, Everyone should notice this place.

' I arrived early because I had the advantage of flying. But others will soon arrive here. Hmmm...Good, I'll do that. '

Athan thought for a few moments and thought of a plan before looking around this area.

' There! It's a good place. '

He found a small tree near the platform where all pedestals were standing on and moved towards it.

There was a very small hole in the trunk of the tree that was even smaller than his animal body.

But he turned his whole body into lightning dust and easily went inside like a flowing river of lightning dust.

The trunk of this tree was not hollow, but with his lightning dust chaos body, He easily created enough space for his animal body to fit inside.

After that, He turned his body back into physical form and started to observe everything from the hole.

An hour passed before he finally saw someone coming towards the golden platform where all pedestals were situated.

It was a two-headed chicken with a red tail.

This two-headed chicken contestant also dashed towards the pedestals but encountered the barrier, and the same voice reverberated.

" Not Yet. "

But unlike Athan, This contestant just stayed there while folding its wings.

Soon, Five more contestants arrived one by one, and they discussed something before waiting together. The chicken seemed to have convinced the first one, and so, they both convinced others who came just to stay together.

Athan could hear them, so he knew what they planned. They decided that once ten people are gathered, they would kill whoever that comes later.

But Athan's plan was different. With an excited glint in his eyes, he observed them and waited to make his grand move.

The ten people gathered together, and right after the tenth person came, The chicken and other animals discussed before moving towards the pedestals, but the barrier still appeared.

After the barrier appeared, Athan could hear them discussing fiercely.

" What the hell? Yo, Chicken! You said that the barrier would open once ten people are gathered, but it's still closed. "

" Indeed. But there's no need to fight amongst ourselves since we have already chosen our weapons. "

" But what do we do now? We need to open or break this damn barrier before getting our hands on that weapon. "

" After getting the weapon, We have to hold onto them because our bodies have turned into an animal and our equipments are no more with us. I wore my storage ring on my finger, but they are no more in this animal body. Also, how do we find a way to solve this barrier problem? "

" This could be troublesome. But the solution to it is simple. "

" What? Your solution better be good this time, Chicken. "

" The solution is, We will continue to do what we planned. At first, I just guessed that the barrier would disappear once ten people are gathered, Not that I was sure about it. Anyway, We will just kill whoever that comes here from now, and that should be the key to open this barrier. "

" Killing is the key? You mean..."

" Yep. We likely need to reduce the number to ten before this barrier opens up as there are only ten treasures. "

" Hmmm...That indeed makes sense. Alright. Let's do this, everyone. Our first target is already here. "

" Two. It looks like these two, A penguin and a frog, decided to work together. "

*Booom..*

" Finish them off! "

Athan saw from the tree hole as the ten people killed the two contestants who arrived here together.

But after hearing their plan, Athan thought wryly, ' If they succeed with their strategy, Then guess I'll be the only one who will leave from here alive. Well, Who cares. '

Thinking of that, he continued to observe as more and more little animals arrived before dying at the hands of the first ten people.

After a while...

" Something is wrong, Chicken. It's been a while, but nobody has arrived here. There were approx fifty people who participated in this wonderland hunt but so far, We have only killed sixteen people. Including us, That's twenty-six people, so there are still twenty-four something people left. "

" Wait...Do you mean the rest of the contestants are going to come together? "

" Impossible! "

" FUCK! Here they are. Attack! "

Athan saw fifteen people coming together and attack the chicken gang of ten people as a fierce fight started.

If there was a reason why nobody discovered Athan even though he was near the golden platform, It was because he had coated abyssal darkness around his body.

But he had already sensed another group behind the golden platform, Waiting to attack after the current fierce fight ends.

They were a group of ten little animals.

Athan observed the fierce fight where people's abilities were limited, and death spread fast.

After half an hour, Only six people remained. None of the six were of the chicken gang.

" Phew...Hahaha, We won. Let's get the treasure, guys. I will take that dagger. "

" That halberd is mine! "

" Be careful! There are still more people right behind the platform. Why are you lowing your guards, idiots? You should at least check the surroundings with your soul sense before going in. "

" They are more people! Fuck. I am not staying here. "

One of them wanted to run away after seeing that the number of the other group was ten.

But right at this moment, A golden beam from the platform of pedestals shot towards the sky, and the golden barrier crumbled.

Seeing this, Athan grinned with excitement in his eyes, ' It's finally time, huh...Too bad for all of you, hehehe. '

Inside his void region, He started to prepare his strongest attack.

Orb of Oblivion.

In this orb of oblivion, He added order force, chaos force, and lightning dust power, and most importantly, Abyssal darkness.

He condensed them until he felt that it was getting out of hand before finally releasing it.

" Huh? What is that white ball with a dark yellow glow coming out of it? "

One of the contestants noticed the orb of oblivion since it was coming in his direction and felt air trembling even before the orb arrived there.

But those were his last words.

Right after that, The orb of oblivion exploded as a terrifying dark yellow wave came out like a tsunami and devoured everyone and everything in its path.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaa...! "

" Arghhhhhhh...."

Those who were far could make out a scream of animals before they got swallowed by the destructive dark river and died.

Athan slowly walked towards the pedestal while observing his surroundings. Suddenly, He looked at his left side, where a dark-colored fur dog-like animal appeared and trembled fearfully seeing the scene of destruction.

This dog-like animal had four flat and big ears and a thick curved tail.

It looked at Athan and barked before a voice came out from its mouth.

" Are you...Athan void? "

Athan paused as he narrowed his eyes before speaking since after adjusting, He could also speak from the throat of this animal just like how those chickens and others spoke.

" Who are you? "

The dark dog suddenly turned excited before bowing down, " I-I am Arcued. I had a technique that could hide my aura well, so I was observing everything until this blast occurred. But...You are really Athan void, right? Please...please don't kill me. "

He guessed that this was Athan because he sensed a large amount of lightning dust chaos power's aura lingering in this blast radius, and it felt similar to what Athan used in the competition.
