The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 367: Action!

It's been five hours since Athan went inside the pond, and He was still absorbing the Wild chaotic power inside the pond despite constantly getting injured and purifying it with his Chaos Grinder to get the wild chaos force. He then infused this wild chaos force in his essence core to fill it.

...

The group's members had returned to the pond after scouting and started waiting for Athan.

Ten hours passed when someone asked in a doubtful voice, " It's been fifteen hours since he is inside...Mrs. Shiromi, Can you confirm if he is dead or alive? "

Shiromi looked at the pond with her brows creased. After thinking for a moment, She shouted towards the pond, " Athan! If you are alive, then give some sort of sign or just show yourself. "

Inside the pond, Athan was a bit speechless but came to the surface and showed his face to everyone before saying, " Just an hour before the essence core reaches the saturation point. "

After saying that, He once again returned inside the pond.

But the members of the group were shocked to see Athan alive after finally getting the proof.

" He...is alive. "

" Staying there should inflict intolerable pain to him. Just by suffering that for fifteen hours, A normal person's soul wouldn't be able to bear such trauma and would die. But he...What the hell is going on with him, Mrs. Shiromi? "

" Yeah. Is he a new member? "

Shiromi nodded with a smile, " Yep. He is a new member of our organization. But he spends all if not most of his time in training. "

The group was as depressed as before as they started to talk about some topics.

An hour soon passed as they saw movement in the pond.

Everyone stood up as they knew that it was time to move again. From the pond, Athan came out covered in his Jadeite Exo-skeleton. He had also transformed his body into Chaotic Body-Aegis Starwood.

After coming out from the pond, He took out some clothes from his void region and wore them before deactivating his body chaos trait-Jadeite Exo-frame and also returned his body to physical form from chaotic body form.

" Let's continue moving. "

Shiromi spoke as the group jumped on their chaos beasts and flew towards the dark forest area.

While flying, Athan thought, ' It looks like soaking my body in that chaotic pond worked to consolidate it. '

That was another reason why he dived into the pond. With his body getting injured by the chaotic power and him healing it with his various healing ability worked to consolidate it.

They flew for two hours, but the jungle area still spanned to an unknown distance in front of them.

This dark forest appeared too big.

After two more hours of flying, They saw a Giant demonic tree one thousand meters tall and a hundred meters wide.

The tree was burning in silver, orange, gray, and blue flames, with colorful sparks flying everywhere.

Shiromi suddenly told the group to stop as she sensed many souls present at the demonic-looking tree due to her unique soul physique.

" Stay Alert. There are many people on that tree and also inside the tree. Our chance is likely in that tree because It seems to be the chaos phenomenon of this dimension. "

A gleam passed through Athan's eyes as he grinned said, " I'll go first and wreak some havoc there. As for you all, Since you have some business in that tree, then you can focus on that. "

" Wait, A...Brother Athan. The main goal here is to find an opportunity so that Mrs. Shiromi can break through. Our first priority is to protect her from the people of other organizations. As for benefits of ourselves...That comes second. " Tongliz said politely to Athan.

Athan glanced at Shiromi, who had an awkward expression, and then looked at the group before speaking plainly, " Shiromi is not so weak that she needs protection, but I also know that they will be targetting her. So, you all protect her while I go first to wreak havoc there and attract their attention. "

He then narrowed his cold eyes before a grin reached his face, " Just do what you are supposed to do while I do what I am supposed to do. Only go near towards tree after ten minutes. Until then, stay here. "

Shiromi understood Athan's intention, and she was both grateful and worried for that as she nodded at him with a grim expression, " You know your own importance. So, be careful and don't be reckless. "

Athan also nodded towards her before he turned around and flew towards the Flaming Demonic Tree.

After he left, The woman with a snake-like body but the head of the human complained, " Mrs. Shiromi. What he is doing is already reckless. If he dies then-"

" Say no more. He will be fine. Even if he dies, the organization will not blame us, so just focus on what we are here to do, right? Mrs. Shiromi. "

Shiromi wryly smiled and nodded, " Tongliz is right. Let's just focus on what we are here to do. After ten minutes, We will start moving. Until then, just wait. "

She then used her unique soul physique's power to observe the situation at the Tree, ' Seriously, Athan?...Sigh. '

...

Athan arrived near the tree and saw four people. These four people seemed to act like guards as they sat on their chaos beasts: Four men with additional body traits.

They saw Athan coming towards them and became active.

" Someone is coming. "

" What are you waiting for? All our others members are inside the tree, so this person is from another organization. KILL! "

Athan saw two of them charging towards him with a sword and a pole while the other two had a bow each.

The sword and pole users jumped from their beast as they executed their order techniques towards Athan before continue to dash forward to cut him with their weapon.

The four chaos beasts also swooped towards Athan while the two people with a bow in their hands also executed their order techniques through their arrows.

Seeing so many attacks coming at him...Athan laughed with a gleam of excitement in his eyes but still rational and cold mind, ' The four beast will be trouble, I'll take care of them first. Hmmm...Four Sumireas slashes with lighting dust nature for speed and abyssal darkness coating will do. '

Before their attacks reached him, He rapidly waved both of his hands as four Sumireas Slashes instantly materialized before shooting towards the four chaos beast.

*Swooooos..*x4

*Roarrrrr.....*

"Screeeeeee.....*

...

*Booooom...*x4

Just as the four beasts met their violent deaths, The two people's order techniques and they along with two arrows, reached Athan.

*Paaaaaaaat....*

*Boooooooom...*

*Dhaaaaaad!....*

*BAMM!...*

The two people who stopped a few meters away from Athan exchanged glances, " Is he dead? "

" Four order techniques hit him at the same time. He should be dead. "

The aftermath of their order techniques blasting subsided as they saw a devil clad in spiked bony armor with his body somehow becoming crystalized emerald with silver sparks. Two spiral holes also floated right in front of him.

" Hehehe...Is that all? I expected some decent attacks from four peak-stage Master order elites, but..."

They saw Athan shaking his head before he spat one word, " Die. "

*Swooooosh...*

Athan dashed forward as he threw a punch at one and kicked the other one. But their reactions were perfect as both of them guarded against Athan's attack...only for a second.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaargh.....W-what is this!? "

" Arghhhh..cough...cough..."

Athan commanded his Skymare Tingale to go towards the branch of the tree where those two bow-man users were standing while he also dashed towards them and ignored the two dying men.

The two bow users were scared out of their wits as one of them hurriedly spoke, " Inform Dresniel! FAST! "

One of them took out a token before hurridly reporting the situation before the SKymare Tingale arrived there and attacked them with his usual cloudly attack that was quite weak and slow.

While the one finished reporting the situation, The other person blocked this attack of Skymare Tingale.

" I told about them what happened here. They should be coming out soon since it's dangerous to fight inside the tree. But...That guy is coming. Fuck! Use your Chaotic Spirit! Now!? "

They were scared shitless because they saw with their own eyes how the other two were consumed by terrifying darkness with no remains.

At this moment, Athan also appeared at the giant tree branch but stopped as he saw two chaotic spirits suddenly appearing in front of him. One of them looked like a dear with blue and orange lighting crackling around it, while another one looked like an owl with two heads with frost storm around it.

' It looks like they are rare chaotic spirits since they are exuding two kinds of chaotic powers. Heh... it doesn't matter even if they combine now. '

He had fought a person who combined with epic-grade chaotic spirit in the Penta regional Tournament, so he knew that they could become troublesome as their reserves of power increase, and they can use it to resist his abyssal darkness unless he consumes a bit more abyssal darkness to nullify their resistance. After that, He and Arcued worked better to one-shot kill people before they used their chaotic spirits.

Athan once again dashed forward with a grin as he took out his spear and coated it with his abyssal darkness, ' Goodbye, Black spear. ' He knew that his black spear would be destroyed after this attack.

The two of them were combing with their chaotic spirits, but Athan's thrown spear hit one of them and killed him as a blast occurred that also destroyed his spear.

Afterward, Athan consumed some more abyssal darkness before releasing two Skyline blows with the nature of Force Glittering River and coated them with his abyssal darkness.

Even after enhancement from his chaotic spirit, The man could not defend against Athan's Skyline blows coated with abyssal darkness and killed him.

' There goes my 60% of abyssal darkness. Hmmm...From what I heard, The remaining members of their group are coming out. So...The best plan would be to tell Shiromi to set up an ambush to make quick work of them. Until then, I'll keep them occupied. '

Taking out the contact card of Shiromi, He said, " I'm sure you can see everything here with your power. Now listen, Their remaining members are coming out from the tree, and I'll keep them occupied while you prepare a big ambush with others to make quick work of them. "

" How many of them are inside? "

" Don't know. But it doesn't matter. Now, start moving. "

Athan then cut off the communication and stretched his body as he prepared to take them on. This time, He won't be killing them but just focus on defense.

After all, His defense was currently impenetrable and his body almost immortal against the people of Tier-3 order base on his monstrous recovery ability. On top of that, His Abyssal Darkness also works well with defense to nullify enemy attacks.
