The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 114: It happened too fast.

Inside the black whirlpool, Mimi's eyes suddenly lit up as she turned to Tiana and said, " What if Avelia's big sister also come here? It will solve troubles for now, and we can even eat good food. "

Mimi put up a strong front and said while clenching her small hands, " Mimi can endure some pain if it's to help guardian brother and big sister Avelia, so let's do it. "

Tiana felt that this idea was good. She also didn't want to let Athan feel bad as she could tell that Athan was struggling with his inner thoughts.

" Alright. Mimi, let me know when you are ready so that I can speak to Athan. "

Mimi nodded and said, " I am ready. Sister can talk to Guardian brother now. "

She then closed her eyes and used some power.

Tiana spoke, " Athan...Athan...Can you hear me? "

Outside...

Athan heard Tiana's voice and was surprised as he involuntary cried out, " Tiana!! How are you? So many months passed since I last heard of you. "

He then heard Tiana's voice, " Athan, Let's not waste any time. Why don't you use that artifact to transfer Avelia's consciousness here in the black whirlpo-..."

Athan was listening to her, but halfway through, he felt tremendous pressure from behind him as he turned around to see the situation.

But before he could see anything clearly...

*Woooozzz..*

A figure passed on top of him with a flash of light towards the treehouse, and the next second, Avelia's scream echoed from there.

Athan's expression changed as he instantly summoned his wings and dashed to the kitchen by breaking through a wooden wall.

*Booom..*

When he entered by breaking the wall, He saw a middle-aged man pointing A silver-colored plate towards Avelia as a light shot out from it and hit her.

At that instant, Her body disintegrated as Athan saw a small white fox with a silver horn appearing and getting absorbed by the silver plate."

" Wh-what...."

Athan looked at the place where Avelia's body disintegrated and didn't even leave any ashes...

The middle-aged man then destroyed the silver plate and flew away before looking at Athan as he softly muttered, " I'm sorry, kid, I didn't have any choice. "

Athan didn't even hear anything as his mind was currently very chaotic.

' W-what happened? why this happened? '

He slowly moved towards the place where Avelia previously stood as his mind started screaming, ' WHYYYYYY?... Just when a solution appeared...."

Just when he found the solution, Avelia disappeared. This is one of the cruelest things to happen.

He was overjoyed to finally be able to help her after calling her his best friend but now...

He didn't realize himself, but tears appeared in his eyes before they started to fall.

*Wooooshh*

Senior Rishen appeared behind Athan with the middle-aged man that killed Avelia, The man was bound with golden chains, but he didn't struggle and just stood there.

He looked at Athan and the surrounding as he sighed and muttered, " Sigh...It looks like I was late. " But he observed more and thought, ' Strange...I can't sense its residual remanent or energy. '

Athan turned around with his tear-stained face as he looked at Senior Rishen and pointed tremblingly at the place where Avelia was standing previously.

A hoarse and cracking voice escaped his throat, " Teacher...Avelia is g-gone? I finally found a solution but...but.."

Senior Rishen shook his head as he didn't speak anything and just sighed. But his eyes turned cold when he thought of the real perpetrator, ' That bastard Rotal...'

He looked at Athan and could feel his Heartache. He didn't expect this to happen, and that too when he had a feeling that something like this might happen. He was just arriving here for a counter-measure and hide, Avelia, but everything happened too fast.

' That bastard Rotal moved too fast...He must have started planning when he sensed the Chaotic Spirit hidden inside Avelia when Ramiel tested her. I also didn't know she had such a thing inside her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her take the final round of the exam. The chaotic spirit inside her sensed Ramiel, who is another chaotic spirit, and involuntarily let out its presence...Sigh. '

He sighed once again upon thinking of the unfortunate incident.

Athan walked towards the food cooked by Avelia with heavy steps while wiping away his face,'.....' His heart currently ached so much as he remembered how she would cook for him and care for him even when he didn't ask.

Especially the last 2-3 months, He clearly felt that Avelia was genuine with him and didn't even remember her so-called goal as they would both spar and talk every day. He also felt her real love for him today, but...

' Why....did this have to happen? WHY NOT TOMORROW? OR A FEW HOURS LATER? ' As his mind screamed these thoughts, He arrived in front of her cooked dish.

Picking up one of the dishes, He took a bite...

*Muffle*

' .....' Tears ran down once again as images appeared inside his mind. The images of Avelia cooking the dishes while crying.

Wiping his face, He took a few deep breaths and said, " Teacher, Who is the mastermind behind this? "

His cold voice rang out as he turned around and looked at the middle-aged man that was bound by the chains.

He knew that this man was just a scapegoat.

Senior Rishen was a bit taken aback as he sensed the killing intent in Athan's words, but he sighed before his face turned cold and said with chilly eyes, " Don't worry, He will pay for this crime. An Ancestor made a move on junior and crossed the line while also breaking the law. Even if he is an Ancestor, He won't escape death. "

" So don't worry about it. You shouldn't make any rash moves and don't let your heart drown in hatred. "

He was a bit concerned about Athan as this incident might leave a scar on him, and his training might not go smooth. He might even....give in to hatred which he doesn't want to see the most.

Athan shook his head hearing that and took a deep breath.

He knew what to do and what not to do. The only thing he can do right now is to get strong. However, he couldn't help but remember how Avelia was always enthusiastic about him. Whenever he said to her to go shopping together, she would be overjoyed, Even the slightest of his praise would make her happy, and today...He finally knew that Avelia and Tiana had the same feelings for him.

' That's why she said that she would leave me...She didn't want to burden me and become my obstruction. '

He felt his heart squeezing tightly as he thought about her words that she spoke to him today.

Senior Rishen got increasingly worried as he looked at Athan's expression and his state of mind. ' His wife is also gone somewhere, and now Avelia too.... '

After thinking for a while, He found a good solution to recover Athan. ' Right now, He needs the company of his family. There should be some of his relatives in the remote place where he came from. '

Looking at Athan, he said softly, " Athan...I think you should not stay here anymore. This place will only make it hard for you to focus on training. "

Hearing his words, Athan looked around and couldn't help but remember the days he spent here with Avelia.

Seeing this, Senior Rishen continued, " As your teacher, I suggest that you visit your family in the Griza Star Sector and spend some time there. "

Athan fell into a daze hearing that as he muttered, " Mike...Mr.s Ralph..."

He then looked at his Teacher and nodded with a worn-out face and a sad smile, " Thank you for your concern, teacher. I also want to visit my family, and I hope you can help me with transportation. "

" Don't worry. I'll prepare the fastest way to get you there. But first, Let me hand this man over to the authorities. "

Athan looked at the man, who seemed to have a dead expression with a hint of relief in his eyes, and nodded indifferently.

Senior Rishen nodded as he thought with relief, ' I am truly glad that he can see the big picture and didn't give in to hatred. '

He then said with a smile, " I will prepare the long-range hyper stargate. If there is any stargate on your planet, then tell me its coordinates. "

Athan didn't know the coordinates and told him how he moved from his planet to planet Rezkiel and took the examination there.

Senior Rishen thought for a moment and said, " Can you manifest the image of the stargate in your planet with the coordinate plate attached to it? "

Athan nodded as he clearly remembers it and controlled his genesis energy to show Senior Rishen the exact image.

Senior Rishen observed the image for a few seconds before he nodded and said, " Got it. I can connect the Hyper Stargate to this Stargate, and you can reach there instantly. I will come here after the preparations are done. "

He then disappeared into the portal with the middle-aged man.
