The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 231: Dead

[ Go inside one of the two Doom chambers in 10 seconds or die. ]

Hemakel had already given up on life. He can't clear any doom chamber on his own, and Athan can just leave this place.

" Let's go inside that door. "

" What!? " Hearing what Athan said, Hemakel was shocked and confused.

" Can't you leave as you please? Why do you still want to court death by going there? "

" Do you want to fucking go or not? " Athan had a dark face as he snapped.

Hemakel regained hope as he hurriedly nodded, " Go go, Let's go. " He then walked towards the door Athan pointed and entered without hesitation.

He didn't even think of the possibility that Athan wouldn't enter after him because he didn't care for apparent reason.

Athan also entered right after Hemakel since he can't let Hemakel die. He still hoped that the two of them could somehow clear this dungeon filled with chambers of dooms with his genome power.

The chamber of doom they choose to enter was the one that required them to find a way out within a limited time frame.

Athan picked this for an obvious reason: Find a way out. He guessed that finding a way out wouldn't require them to fight much, which would consume less of his genome energy in this time limit chamber of doom, and they might be able to clear it.

But he found out how very wrong he was after entering through the door.

[ Enter into one out of three doors in five minutes. ]

" Go and enter into one of the doors. I'll follow you. " Athan spoke with a deadly calm voice.

Hemakel hesitated for a moment, but then he nodded and carefully observed the doors.

The doors were open, and all they could see in them was darkness. But there was one thing to notice: a pattern on the floor in front of each door.

The first door had a criss-cross pattern in a fifteen square centimeter in dark grey color.

The second door had an " X " inside an " O "? pattern with bright orange color.

The third door had a dark gold triangle with a vertical and a horizontal line inside it.

" Do you have any idea on what these patterns represent or their meaning? " Hemakel asked Athan after noticing the patterns.

Athan looked at the patterns carefully, and the only thing that came into his mind was that the patterns represented something that awaited them behind the respective doors.

" Maybe they represent the contents or things behind the doors? Anyway, I also don't know, so just choose a door and enter. "

Hearing that, Hemakel nodded and entered the second door.

Seeing that, Athan also followed behind as he arrived in a hall with the same base as the pattern.

The hall appeared round with four walls. The four walls were connected in an X shape, which created four sections in the gaps of X inside the round hall.

Athan and Hemakel appeared in the same section, and before long, A beast materialized in front of them.

[ Defeat the beast after letting it destroy the walls in your section. Only the beast can destroy the wall and make way for you. ]

[ Break down all four walls within ten minutes to open the passage to the next checkpoint, If you fail to destroy the walls within the time limit, you will be doomed. ]

*ROARRR.....*

Athan understood what he had to do, so he hurriedly spoke, " Stick to the wall and let the beast attack you. Don't get hit by its attack and let its attack destroy the wall. "

Hemakel nodded and instantly towards the wall. Athan also did the same and dashed towards another wall.

The beast looked like a lion with a large 10-meter tall and 6-meter long body.? Its thick dark green fur and two bright gold eyes targetted Athan.

The Lion's speed was not slow as green smoke suddenly shrouded its body before it instantly appeared in front of Athan while stretching out its dark gold claws.

*ROARRR....*

Athan was shocked by its speed and barely dodged its attack, but not without any cost.

He dodged to the left, so the claw hit a half portion of his right leg as the bones of his leg cracked with a clear sound.

If he didn't have the purple aura coating his body due to his geno art, he would've lost his right leg and would get into trouble since it takes a bit more time to regenerate the portion of his leg with white gold energy.

But more frustratingly, That attack of the beast didn't manage to destroy the wall. Though there were countless cracks on the wall, it wasn't destroyed.

Hemakel dashed towards Athan after attacking the beast with his attacks which injured the beast a bit.

Provoked, the beast dashed towards Hemakel, who used a space movement spell as he went behind the beast and appeared before the cracked wall.

The beast turned around and attacked, which Hemakel dodged successfully.

*Crackkk....*

The wall cracked even more for a moment before it was blasted apart by the claw attack of the beast.

Athan had already run towards the wall that wasn't cracked and released a crude soul attack to attract the beast's attention.

The beast roared after being hit by Athan's soul attack, which annoyed it and gave it a headache.

Roaring angrily towards Athan, The beast shrouded itself in green smoke before speedily appearing in front of Athan to attack him.

Athan was prepared for its speedy attack this time and dodged, which hit the wall instead and produced countless cracks on it.

But at this time, something unexpected happens.

" Aaaaaaa.!!....Sav-"

Hemakel, who was preparing to aid Athan, screamed as his body got torn into two from his waist.

After cutting Hemakel into two, The same beast waved its hands at a fast speed and created more pieces of Hemakel, ultimately killing him.

The one who did this was a bug-like beast with pure black skin with grey-metal patterns. Its two solid and sharp scythe-like hands appeared deadly.

Athan also didn't notice this beast as it appeared after the wall was destroyed. His attention was on this giant lion beast and not this bug-like beast with a height of just 1.5 meters high.

Hemakel also didn't notice its presence behind him since the beast seemed to have shadow attribute powers.

After killing Hemakel, It merged into the darkness as it prepared to sneak attack on Athan.

Athan cursed and didn't hold back anymore as he conjured two Chasm Severings on his two hands before using one to kill the Lion beast.

He then waited for the bug-like beast to attack him, which it did after a few seconds.

*Shua.....*

Athan was prepared as he also killed the bug-like beast with the second Chasm Severing.

" Phew...." Taking a deep breath, Athan calmed himself, but his face was still dark.

There were still three walls to destroy and two more beasts that were behind those walls.

Athan conjured one more Chasm Severing and released it towards the cracked wall and destroyed it. He then used another Chasm Severing to kill the beast that was behind it.

Now he was down to 60% geno energy and he still had to destroy two more walls and a beast.

" Damn it! "
