The Tale of the Void Emperor

The terred race man pointed in Athan's direction that was a few kilometers away and spoke as his voice reverberated, " That human race man over there, I have seen him in another hotspot before, and he is somewhat famous, Knowns as Undead Horde King. He summons his army of beasts and weapons that can defeat the metallic beasts with ease because of the sheer number of his army. And- "

" What the hell is Undead Horde King? Humph. Even if he can summon such a big army, He can't maintain it forever because he will eventually run out of energy. "

The terred race man shook his head with a helpless expression and said, " Do you know why he is called Undead Horde King? Because...His army is undying, It's like he has limitless energy, and the five hundred meters around him are always filled with his army of beasts and weapons. Many of them are destroyed in battles, but new ones would be conjured right away.

And....he doesn't care about what we do. He will continue moving in this direction after clearing the metallic beasts there, and If we are fighting in a five hundred meter radius around him when he arrives here, His army will also kill the metallic beasts we are fighting. Thus, we will lose our rewards. So it's better to steer away from him and quickly kill the metallic beasts. "

Other people were hearing what the man said while fighting against the metallic beasts and was absolutely shocked.

They took a glance at Athan's direction, where he floated while sitting on a comfortable chair and became speechless.

" Damn it! When did the human race produce such a monster? "

" Heck! Just look at him, How leisurely he is eating something while his army does all of the work. "

...

Athan moved forward as he cleared the battlefield with his army while eating the cooked food of Avelia.

" Damn human...Stop killing my preys! "

A crysax race man shouted at Athan when he saw several powerful weapons and a group of beasts attacking the metallic crystals he was fighting against. The group of beasts had all kinds of beasts, Some ground beasts entangled the metallic beasts while some hit them hard. There were also many flying beasts that did hit and run and some who used long-ranged attacks.

Athan glanced at him but only for a second. He continued to move forward with his army after defeating the beasts around that crysax race man.

The crysax race man fumed and wanted to attack Athan, but his rational mind told him not to do anything seeing the terrifying army around Athan.

Individually, Those beasts and weapons were not powerful, but since their numbers were high and they were all filled with offensive-related powers mostly, Nobody dared to block his path.

As the power of his Rule domain, The more things he created with blood energy inside his Rule domain, The more powerful they will become.

His beast army and weapon army were 50% percent made up of blood energy which let them have this benefit of his Rule domain. The limit of strengthening was 200% of their original power at 200 things he summoned. This means that after he conjured 200 things related to blood energy inside his Rule domain, Their abilities will be doubled.

If he conjured more, Their abilities won't increase further and remain at 200% of their original power. Still, This was a good boost considering that he was currently clearing the battlefield with five hundred beasts and five hundred weapons.

Of course, There was a drawback that if several people joined hands and pressured his Rule domain, then they can suppress the effectiveness of his Rule domain, and his army won't receive the 200% boost to their power.

Athan continued moving while ignoring the faces of few people whose metallic beasts were killed by his army, and after a while, the hotspot turned normal zone.

Athan checked his gauge and, seeing that it filled up to 75%, He frowned and thought, ' It seems like the gauge is filling up slower and slower as it progresses more. '

After deactivating this Rule domain and dissipating his army, He continued flying in search of more hotspots while killing the few beasts that he occasionally encounters.

...

Tiana and Avelia also just finished another round of hotspot fighting and collected their rewards by taping on their wrist, which displayed that their battlefield level gauge was filled up to 38% and 41%, respectively.

" Let's stop for now and feed some Menima crystals to our Altar spirits. It's been a while since we gave them any. "

Tiana said to Avelia after they collected their rewards.

Hearing them, Their altar spirits revealed eager expressions but didn't fight over it since Avelia and Tiana had decided their turns with a simple game of luck.

After the one altar spirit reaches the first stage of Spirit Armament, The second turn altar spirit will receive the menima crystal. This is how they decided to progress after They decided their turns.

Triominy turned into miniature form and arrived in front of Avelia with a happy expression, while Leina also turned into miniature form came to Tiana.

These two have been eating menima crystals since two hotspots, and they were very close to reaching the first stage of the Spirit Armament.

Tiana and Avelia gave them the menima crystals as they started munching on them as other altar spirits looked at them with envy in their eyes.

Of course, They all wanted to help their master even more after reaching the first stage of the Spirit Armament.

After Triominy and Leina ate the menima crystals, They suddenly started shining.

Seeing this, Other altar spirits revealed excited expressions.

Avelia and Tiana were also surprised and guessed that they reached the first stage of the Spirit Armament.

Three menima crystals of slight difference in size were floating in front of Leina, so Tiana took them.

Seeing this, Stormy said eagerly, " Me me, Master. It was my turn after Leina. "

Tiana smiled and gave three crystals to stormy before continued to observe the shining altar spirits.

They shined in a white and gold aura for a minute before they suddenly turned into a ball of light and returned inside Tiana and Avelia's Erudite Palace.

Tiana and Avelia paid attention there, and after a minute, They were surprised and finally understood why many people looked weird on the battlefield, as if they wore some kind of gadgets on their body.

They saw some really cool-looking people too, and now they could also become one of them.

Avelia and Tiana looked at each other before using their newly acquired power at the same time.

Triominy and Leina, who were inside Erudite place, told Avelia and Tiana, respectively, " Master, Get ready. My form will be decided by the compatibility of thoughts between us and my newly acquired ability that I got after reaching the first stage. "

Tiana and Avelia were ready as their body started shining.

Other altar spirits saw them shining for a minute before something appeared on their body.

Tiana's shoulders, back, and head started to cover in white fur before it turned into a fancy cape, shoulder plates, and a red furry hood over her head with different designs and patterns on them that looked beautiful.

Her shoulders were covered in furry plates with a shining crimson curved tooth on each of her shoulder plates. While the cape that was connected to her shoulders plates was fluttering with red and dark furs that formed a beautiful design.

Tiana was feeling more powerful overall, and she felt that she had access to a new kind of power that was likely related to the new power that her altar spirit gained after reaching the first stage of the spirit armament.
