The Tale of the Void Emperor

" I'll open the boxes first. " Saying this, Tiana opened both of her normal boxes one by one.

[ Congratulations! You have received equipment, Icy light Vest. ]

[ Congratulations! You have received a Weapon, Bloody Chain Staff ]

"Hmmm....an armor and a staff, I can use the armor but the staff is not so compatible. "

[ Point Shop Price: 120, Trade Price: 118, Receivable Points: 110 ]

She then sold the Bloody Chain Staff which was surprisingly priced at 120 Points.

Afterward, Athan opened his two boxes.

[ Congratulations! You have received an Earth Golem Spell Manual. ]

Surprised, Athan looked at the description of the spell manual before opening the 2nd box.

[ Earth Golem ]

- Requirement: Earth Energy, Earth constitution, Intermediate Earth Intent.

- Conjures Earth Golem with a solid structure to protect the user.

Note:- If you can raise the proficiency of this spell to Master Stage after reaching Origin Intent Plane then you will have an easier time practicing an Upgraded version of this spell in Genesis Conceptual Plane.

After seeing the spell, Athan said while nodding, " I can spare Earth energy for conjuring Golems but their consumption will likely be high, Anyway They will prove to be good meatshields for us. "

He then opened his 2nd box.

[ Congratulations, You have received an Item, Repel Intent Slate. ]

" Oh..." Both athan and Tiana were surprised to receive Intent Slate and it seems to be a Mystic Intent.

[ Repel Intent Slate. ]

- Requirement: Needs Mystic Force to form the Repel Forcefield.

- After comprehending this Mystic Intent, One can consume Mystic Force to create a Repelling Forcefield to repel spells and other attacks.

Note: You may try to comprehend the Intent but it will not be much useful without Mystic Force.

Seeing the slate, Tiana said with disappointment, " Looks like These Mystic Intents require Mystic Force to use which we don't have right now. I think the so-called Mystic Force must be a thing of Origin Intent Plane. Anyway, You can try to comprehend this intent for now and use it properly after getting Mystic Force. "

Athan fell into thought, ' I was planning to buy a Mystic Intent Slate depending on the result of what I was doing since passing the examination but Now that I got this intent slate then I will try to comprehend it. '

After the examination was over, Athan was feeding his mystic energy to the black whirlpool, But so far there was no feedback from it.

' Anyway, I'll see if I can comprehend this Repel intent later but for now, I'll practice Earth Golem Spell. '

He then turned his attention to Tiana and said " I think we might be able to finish those 2-star dungeons in Dual mode now since you have a good defensive spell but still I'll go and the first master this Earth Golem spell. "

Tiana nodded before speaking with a smile, " Then I'll fight in Combat Arena to gain experience and also points if I can. "

" Alright. "

Afterward, Athan arrived in Spell Testing hall before using the spell manual.

All information about the Earth Golem spell was sent into his mind and after doing that, He sold the manual.

" Now I have 149 Points, but I'll save them for now. "

He then started to look through the Earth Golem spell's information and After a few minutes, He thought, ' Damn, This spell only uses Earth energy but the complexity of it surpasses both the Broken Impact Flowing method and Combusting Burst steps. '

' This spell also requires Intent at Intermediate level.....and on top of this complex pathways, Looks like the conjured Golems will quite powerful...And on top of that note about the upgraded version of this spell...'

Athan became a bit excited thinking about it and started to practice it.

...

...

After 3 days, Athan finally mastered the beginner stage of Earth Golem.

A 4 meter tall and 2.5 meters wide Stone golem stood in front of Athan.

He commanded Golem to attack him.

Athan didn't summon any spell to defend himself as he wanted to try the attack power of this golem first.

He just stood there while putting both of his hands in front of him in a guard stance.

The Earth Golem's thick arms came swinging towards him before its fist hit him at his hand.

*?m???*

Athan was sent flying and hit the wall but didn't die.

" Not bad but its main aspect is defense so let's check it out. "

After standing up, He stretched his hand forward and released Fire energy <Impact Shot> Towards the Earth Golem's Head.

*?w??????...?oom*

The half head of the golem was blasted before cracks formed at his neck and the rest of the head area.

" Hmmm, It's somewhat expected because I mastered My Flowing Method and their spells to Advanced Stage and they never failed to kill anything in dungeons so far... Anyway, I'll practice this Earth golem spell to Advanced Stage too which will make it even more formidable. "

After deciding it, He started practicing the Advanced stage of the Earth Golem spell.

....

After 4 days of practicing, He finally mastered the Advanced stage of the Earth Golem Spell.

The appearance of the Earth Golem didn't change but Athan knew that this golem was more than a fold stronger than the previous one.

He then stretched his hand forward and released Fire energy <Impact Shot>

*?w??????...???m...?ooof*

" Crap...."

Athan cursed seeing the defense of golem. His Impact shot only managed to push the golem back and created few cracks, That's all.

" Looks like It will be way easier to clear dungeons now. unlike with Barriers where I have to move out of them to release my offensive spells, These golems can be used as meatshield which are flexible. But even with the full energy reserve of Earth Energy, I will only be able to conjure 3 golems. " Athan spoke to himself after seeing the defense of the golem.

He then left the Spell training hall and met up with Tiana after waiting for 10 minutes.

" Let's go and complete those 2-star dungeons in dual modes, That Earth Golem spell is actually terrifying, Your Quadic Frost Dome spell should also be a powerful defensive spell. "

Hearing that, Tiana nodded with a smile filled with a bit of Helplessness, " Yeah, I looked through that spell and its complexity is similar to my flowing method. "

...

After discussing how they would proceed in each dungeon, Athan started The Lair of The Lost Eagle first.

[ Matching Completed ]

The wind that was bothering them the most in this dungeon was solved by Giant Golems that stood still like a rock as Athan and Tiana hid behind them.

Athan summoned all three golems, One in front, One in left, and one in right. Their back was covered by the tree trunk they stood on.

This way, They dealt with all enemies and even the Giant Eagle's attacks were ineffective against the golem as Athan killed it easily with his spells, Not even needing to use Impact Point.

[ Congratulations, You have finished Lair of the Lost eagle in dual mode. ]

[ 10 Points and a Normal Box to Athan and Tiana ]

...

After finishing this dungeon, Atha directly started The Howling Pits in dual mode.

[ Matching Completed. ]

In this dungeon, Athan used Golems as defensive meatshield while Tiana cast Outburst Nodes around the golems.

Athan positioned Golems at Back, Right, and Left, and the wolves would either be killed by golems or by Tiana's outburst nodes while the wolves that came in front of them would be dealt with by Athan.

As for the wolf boss, He told Tiana to distract the wolves along with his golems and then finished it by using his 2 layer Impact Point.

Yep, 2-Layer Impact Point was enough to defeat the wolf boss.

[ Congratulations, You have finished The Howling Pits in dual mode. ]

[ 10 Points and a Normal Box to Athan and Tiana ]

...

Just as they arrived at the dungeon Plaza after that, An announcement reverberated everywhere.

[ We will arrive at the Myriad Stars Academy after 10 days, The points you earned here will be converted to Credits after 10 days and with Credits, you can also buy various kinds of things at the Academy. ]

[ This virtual world is also just a small demo of a way bigger Virtual World out there which connects all major human organizations above a certain level so that they can constantly be in contact with each other. ]

' 10 days...'

Athan turned to face Tiana and said, " Let's finish all dungeons in these 10 days and earn as many points as we can. "

He then started [ Cavern of the Black Bear ] dungeon in dual mode.

[ Matching Completed. ]

...

Athan felt that this dungeon was actually easier than the previous two dungeons they did.

He could one-shot bears and with his reserve of energy, they easily passed this test as Tiana and Golems would occasionally attack the bears while staying defensive most of the time.

[ Congratulations, You have finished Caverns of the Black Bear in dual mode. ]

[ 10 Points and a Normal Box to Athan and Tiana ]

After arriving At the Dungeon Plaza, Tiana asked, " Should we continue with 3-star dungeons or open the boxes? "

" Let's proceed with 3-star dungeons. "
