The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 405: Infiltrating, First experiment-Voidlings with chaotic powers.

Athan neared the stronghold and saw four giant beasts flying around the big stronghold.

" So this is the stronghold. There should be some beasts on the ground and inside too. " Athan muttered and descended from the sky lest the beasts sense him.

After descending, He took out his weapon: Blanoir, The hell shredder.

Now that he reached Orderic Catastrophe, He can finally use this chakram wheel weapon.

He infused his order force into this giant chakram wheel before splitting it up into two large disks.

He grabbed the handles in the middle of the disk before a gleam flashed in his eyes, and a mask appeared over his face.

Just as this cool black mask with a dreamy white pattern appeared on his face, His aura vanished, and his presence disappeared. Though the real application behind this is that, His body was completed sealed off such that nothing can come out from his body and nothing can invade his body like the soul sense of others or similar sensing techniques.

Now, if someone scanned this area with their soul sense or any other techniques, They wouldn't discover Athan at all.

But He didn't become invisible, so if someone saw him physically with naked eyes, they could see him.

" Body order technique: Chemo Bend. "

He used a body order technique that he " borrowed " from Ayurin. This technique didn't have any offensive power nor any defensive power.

But this Order technique can blend his body into the surroundings such that he becomes invisible to the normal naked eyes. Combining this technique with his void mask will make him completely invisible, both physically and spiritually.

' Ehh...It looks like I can't conceal the aura of chakrams. Never mind, I'll take them out when attacking. For now, I need to assess the situation at the stronghold. '

Thinking of that, Athan once again flew towards the stronghold using Lightning Dust, ' I really need a flying technique. Unfortunately, even Ayurin didn't possess one at that time. '

After a while, He arrived at the stronghold and was just ten meters away from the flying beasts guarding the stronghold in the sky.

He looked below and saw another four chaos beasts that guarded the stronghold on the ground.

' That envoy specifically mentioned that we have to work together to destroy the strongholds thoroughly, and the points will be distributed based on an individual's contribution. Hmmm...Thoroughly means we have to completely eliminate all the monsters and destroy those walls, buildings, and watchtowers. '

Athan thought as he looked at the big stronghold that looked like a small village. Since they were told to bring down strongholds by working together, They ought to be very powerful.

After thinking about it for a while, He decided to infiltrate the stronghold silently. The four flying beasts that looked like dark emerald lions with wings were no problem to him, but...

As he moved towards the gate on the ground, He saw four minotaurs-like monsters with two heads standing guard closely. They wore rock armor and held a rocky halberd in their hands.

This was the only entrance because the whole stronghold was covered in a barrier except for this entrance. There would be a commotion if he tried to break the barrier, so he moved towards the entrance silently.

He floated one meter above the ground while moving forward. The monsters were just in front of him, but they didn't seem to notice him at all.

...

Outside, Many people were surprised at seeing a particular screen section. This screen displayed the same stronghold that Athan infiltered, but the person-focused on the screen was not Athan.

" What kind of technique is that? He silently passed through the wall of the stronghold without alerting anyone. That's impressive. "

" Indeed. But if he messed up, then he will be ganged up by the monsters inside the stronghold and die. "

" Look! Another person beside him is entering the same stronghold. His method is equally good, if not better. He walked into the entrance in front of the guardian beasts, but none of them noticed him. Damn. "

" What are you smoking? After he used his technique, We also can't see him anymore. However, We can guess it since the black card on him is being used to trace his moments, and currently, it's showing us the entrance closing on us, which means that he is entering inside. "

" Let's see what will happen now. These two are the only ones who dared to confront a stronghold alone for now while other participants are still wandering. "

...

After Athan went inside the stronghold, He saw many humanoid monsters in armor. This stronghold was basically like a barracks as there were various humanoid monsters with weapons and armors inside as they appeared ready to battle anytime. The number of beasts was approximately thirty-two if he included the two beasts standing on the watchtower with a giant redwood cannon with orange patterns.

' Each one has a powerful aura comparable to Early-stage 4-star beasts. If all of them attacked me at once, then...it would spell bad news.'

Athan thought, and after thinking for a moment, He decided to check out the four buildings inside the stronghold.

He walked towards one of the buildings and found that all it contained were weapons and armors. He then checked the other building, and it contained large red cannonballs with bright orange patterns. There was also a chaos portal in this building.

' This chaos portal might be connected to another chaos portal on the watchtowers. I don't know the firepower of those cannons, but it certainly looks dangerous due to their big size. But hehehe...I got a superb Idea seeing the cannonballs. If their firepower is good enough, then this will be a piece of cake. '

He then waved his hand and released two very small worms from his hand. The worms had a black body made from abyssal darkness and white patterns made from voidpulses.

' First experiment regarding Voidlings. Let's see if it works. ' Thinking of this, Athan pointed his fingers at the two worms floating in front of him and released a very thin thread of voidpulse.

He embedded this thread into the worms to create another pattern on their body before closing his eyes and focusing, ' Order of the Lightning Dust...Transform. '

The pattern of the thread slowly turned bright yellow with light brown sparks in them.

Athan was entirely focusing as he didn't want to mess up here. If something went wrong, then he would instantly transport those two worms into his void region.

But his concerns were unfounded as he succeeded in the experiments. He looked at the two worms that now had an additional pattern of Lightning dust on its body.

Athan then commanded the worms to stay near one cannonball and left this building.

He went to check another build that also contained cannonballs but was surprised to sense someone's presence, ' Not a bad concealing technique, but how did he appear here? '

In front of Athan was a human who wore leather armor and tight clothes. He had dark green hair and looked slim and tall. He was currently checking out the cannonballs in this building.

' Anyway, He is an unfortunate soul since he is here. '
