The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan rapidly started thinking of a way to save Drizzly and kill that bastard.

After a moment, he decided to make use of his weak order base, 'I need to make some build-up for that...'

Athan looked at Jeargen with a frown and asked, "Why do you want Drizzly? You are even keeping her alive, so there should be something you want from Drizzly, right?"

Jeargen frowned and said, 'I have to hurry and return to the clan, but Lady Fu won't let me go that easily unless...that brat says so? Judging by how she looked for his opinion, she might listen to her. Hmmm...if that's the case, I can't tell them that we will extract her bloodline and kill her.'

"We just want her to become our clan head's foster daughter and then marry his descendent so that we can have powerful future generations," Jeargen said indifferently.

Athan frowned and asked again, "So her life will not be in any danger if she goes to your clan, right?"

Jeargen shook his head, "No. She will be treated well and will also become powerful at a faster rate."

Athan nodded as he visibly sighed relief and said with determination, "Let me talk to her for a few minutes. You can stay near me while we talk, and Lady Fu will stay away, so you don't have to worry about we taking her away."

Lady Fu nodded and said coldly, "If you don't agree to that condition, the-"

"Fine, I agree. I'll just give them five minutes. Once the time is up, you will not obstruct us anymore." Jeargen spoke in an impatient tone. He just wanted to fucking return to his clan and find out news about his son as soon as possible.

Lady Fu looked at Athan as she didn't know why he wanted to do this. But since she was here, Jeargen won't make a move on Athan because doing that would not benefit him since she showed much importance to Athan.

Athan started walking towards them and arrived beside Drizzly before holding her up in a standing position using his chaos force.

Jeargen and others from the Ursh'in clan surrounded him and Drizzly.

"You have five minutes," Jeargen plainly said as he waved his hand and woke up Drizzly and also created a powerful barrier around them so they couldn't escape even with any tricks, 'I can't see inside this brat, but the power he radiated is at Orderic Catastrophe, is that brat that threatened everyone here? Well, he can't escape from my barrier.'

Athan also put up a small normal order force barrier around and said, "Don't listen to us."

"Humph, we have surrounded you, and we don't have any interest in your talk. Your five minutes had started, so hurry up." A man looking in his late twenties from the Ursh'in clan spoke.

At this time, Drizzly opened her eyes blurrily and saw Athan in front of her, "A-Athan? W-what are you doing?"

'Primo, don't let Drizzly be affected by Netherly frost, and don't let it spread further.'

'Roger-nyaa!'

Jeargen and others were not worried about Athan and Drizzly since they had surrounded him.

But Jeargen suddenly sensed a threat, but before he could act against it, A burst of strange, soul-chilling frost exploded from Athan's body.

He could activate his defensive techniques and powers before the frost hit him with his speed, but...

'HOW TH-' He didn't know how that brat possessed such a terrible power that even he couldn't block.

That was his last thought before the Netherly frost froze his and others' soul to death along with their body.

Their cells and even their bloodline froze to death.

Lady Fu saw everything with wide eyes as her body also trembled with cold.

Fortunately, Primo controlled the Netherly Frost and didn't let it spread further after it hit Jeargen and others.

Drizzly was shocked beyond belief, "T-this...Athan, how did you become this powerful?"

Athan shook his head, "This is my not my power."

"Nyaa! It is master's power but not now. Netherly frost is part of AVOF, and master is the ruler of AVOF, so in the end, Netherly frost is master's power," Primo spoke with stubborn expression.

Athan wryly smiled but didn't argue.

"Drizzly...," Athan looked at Drizzly and sighed, "It's my f-"

"It's not, Athan! It's not your fault but my fault!..*sniff*, they were attracted here because of my bloodline," Drizzly cried out with tears falling off her eyes.

Athan closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them. His current eyes revealed a calm and serene expression with a hint of cold killing intent in them.

He didn't believe what he did was wrong; he would do it again if he got the chance. He would kill all people except fifty people in the test again.

But he owed an apology is as well. This didn't indicate that he regretted his decision. NO! But he just owed it because he was part of this act and one of the reasons that led to this consequence.

"Yone is dead."

"Mhmm...," Drizzly nodded with her head down, tears falling off her eyes.

"Tronel and others are crippled and severally injured."

"Mhmm..."

At last, Athan said coldly, "I will remove Ursh'in clan from the face of this world."

"Mhmm...When you go there, take me with you."

At this time, Athan had an uncontrollable urge to start training as his soul burned with determination. He didn't hold back anymore as he began to his breakthrough to Zen order.

The intense fight previously already stabilized his rapidly growing strength.

But before he started his breakthrough, He told Lady Fu to handle some things.

Lady Fu nodded as she first made Drizzly unconscious and put her beside Samira in the healing bubble she created.

Afterward, she went to the two hundred or some people who survived.

"Please! Save our two leaders! They are still barely alive."

Lady Fu dashed towards them and put them in a new healing bubble as well.

She then took out a Defense+Healing type Runic Ward hundred meters range and told everyone to stay in the range. Afterward, the army of voidlings stood guard around the Runic Ward according to Athan's instruction.

While Lady Fu commanded her seven voidlings to guard around Athan, Tronel, and others.

After taking a last look at Athan, who had closed his eyes while sitting crossed-legged, she flew up and disappeared.
