The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan and Reikent felt an oppressive power and saw as Yone attacked Dreas Sulik with his special move.

The temperature rose up several hundred degrees in the atmosphere just because of the presence of the dark yellow globe with bright yellow patterns on it.

" Khakakaka, Come on! " Dreas laughed out loud and took a stance with him holding his sword with both of his hands.

Shohara was kept at bay and couldn't do anything as Leib, Aakerin, and Chunshi constantly tried to trap him and interrupt his advances.

But Seeing Dreas intending to take on Yone's attack head-on, Shohara stopped and looked there. He wasn't injured but was kept at bay by the other while. In truth, Leib, Aakerin, Joza, and Chunshi were feeling the pressure instead because the occasional attacks released by Shohara were very sinister and underhanded. After all, Shohara had external illusion powers that confused them about Shohara's actual attacking move when he used multiple fake ones to hide the real one.

Leib was hit by one attack as there was a deep gash on his right shoulder to mid-chest. He was barely suppressing the wound while fighting, and it was getting harder and harder for him to move as he needed proper healing and cure from the poisonous alignments of Shohara's attack.

' Hurry up, Athan and Reikent! ' Leib thought while intently keeping his eyes on Shohara, who has suddenly stopped to observe Yone and Dreas.

Aakerin, Joza-Eile, and Chunshi were also keeping their eyes on Shohara lest he suddenly moves. Their job was to restrict him as much as possible.

Shohara frowned at Dreas antics but didn't dare to say anything. He knows that even his clan master speaks respectfully to Dreas Sulik.

At this moment, Yone released his technique as the Wild Sun rapidly approached Dreas, who finally turned his expression a little bit serious and swung his sword in rapid succession before the attack even reached him.

But the next second, An intense gale was produced around along with dark green fire pouring in front of him out of nowhere before turning into a giant sword that resembled Dreas's sword.

Seeing this, Yone knew that he lost in this confrontation, ' Damn it. He is more powerful than I expected. Even slightly more powerful than Ronak. '

The giant green flaming sword of Dreas moved according to the moment of Dreas and clearly cut the Wild Sun into two as a loud explosion occurred.

Yone stretched his hands as he controlled the explosion towards Dreas and shouted to Tronel, " Bind him again! "

Now, He just hoped that Athan and Reikent would be done soon so they can get out of here before others arrive.

Athan and Reikent were attacking the same spot at the dark orange sphere, and Athan had already punched nine times and was going to punch one last time before he ran out of his abyssal darkness.

" Reikent! This is the last punch. After this, I won't be able to produce any more abyssal darkness. "

Reikent didn't pause in his attacks and even increased his intensity of attacks as he spoke, " Do it! We are already close enough, and It will definitely crack open with your next attack. "

Athan nodded while stretching his backward and preparing his fist before he punched forward.

*Boom...Cra..crack...*

*Shatter..*

Crips and clear sound of cracks rang out before the small part of the sphere shattered.

" Let's go!..." Without wasting a single second, Reikent crawled into the small hall, and Athan did the same.

After getting inside the dark orange sphere, They saw a floating glowing orange crystal with mysterious inscribed patterns and constantly burning in flames in the middle.

Reikent hurridly arrived in front of it and started injecting his order force into the chaos source crystal.

Athan started doing the same even though he knew that his meager order force would barely affect the chaos crystal because Reikent said that even a drop equivalent of progress is essential right now.

" Anyway, It's good that our bodies are slim and small. If Tronel or Joza were here in our place, They wouldn't have been able to crawl from the small hole that we barely opened up. "

Athan nodded in agreement with Reikent and took back his hands because he ran out of order force. He even consumed his white aura to create more order force, but that also ran out in two seconds.

But he could see crystal slowly turning dim.

Reikent had a hopeful look as he muttered, " Just two minutes, and we will have completed this mission. "

But after ten seconds, Reikent's face turned grave, and he took back his hands and stopped refining the chaos crystal with his order force.

Seeing this, Athan asked instantly, " What happened? "

" Let's go! " Reikent rushed towards the hole while also urging Athan to move on fast. He also took out a blue gem that he gave to Athan when he first met him. Though, this gem had inscribed patterns on it and looked bigger than the one he gave to Athan.

Both of them came out and saw that Yone and others had gathered together as the same astral door appeared behind them.

Right after coming out, Reikent activated the blue gem as a silver-blue light enveloped him and Athan before both of them disappeared and appeared right behind Yone.

Athan saw various degrees of injuries on everyone, with the most injured being Tronel and Leib, followed by Aakerin, Joza-Eile, and Chunshi.

" Skull head and Urushib Clan! I will return this favor in the future. " Saying this, Yone suddenly grinned at them, " Enjoy the benefits of this Flamorea CPD while you can. "

He then turned around and swept his gaze at every before he smiled wryly, " Let's return. We have failed in this operation. "

Everyone entered the astral door as they left. Dreas and Shohara didn't stop them either because they wouldn't benefit if they cornered them too much.

Yone had some trump cards in his sleeves as one of the leaders of the Youhan Tree, but he can't afford to go all-out against Dreas.

Staying here longer wasn't an option because the longer they stayed, the more injuries they would accumulate, and their reinforcement will also arrive. Especially, If the fight escalated, Athan would be in danger and he can't let Athan die before he fully blooms.

Yone didn't want to risk the lives of others in this operation because it wasn't worth it to him that they get casualties in exchange for this CPD.

After Yone and others left, Shohara couldn't hold back, " Why didn't you at least kill one or two of them? With your ability, You could easily do it. "

Dreas looked at Shohara as his eye sockets, which had dark green flames, suddenly burned brightly, and he only said one thing to Shohara while sneering.

" Idiot. "
