The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Brother Athan! It looks like you also won the fight....uh rather easily that it seems. "

Shish saw Athan appearing near him and called out. He also saw that Athan wasn't injured much except for the superficial chest injury.

Athan saw that Shish wasn't injured, and his armor was mostly intact with only some minor damage.

Shish scratched the back of his head while laughing, " It turned out that my opponent was actually way weaker than me. Both in body strength and order base. Phew, I was worried for nothing when the fight started and took a few blows from my opponent before defeating him. Hehe. "

But then, Shish's expression changed. He had hesitation written over his face, and finally, after two seconds, He pointed at the human girl who was severely injured with her hand cut off from her elbow. That girl had her eyes closed, and there was some blood energy swirling at her cut-off part as she seems to be recovering.

" Brother Athan, You see that girl over there? "

Athan looked at her and nodded, " Mhmm. It seems that she is very badly injured. Both externally and internally. If she failed to recover completely then her journey ends here. "

Shish nodded with a sad face as his lips curved downwards and eyebrows creasing together, " Actually....I already know her. She works at an inn in the town under a lady boss. When I arrived here, She was so badly injured and was in so much pain. "

Athan glanced at Shish and raised his eyebrows before asking, " You want to help her? "

" Umm...Actually, I already helped her. When I arrived here and saw her in her severely injured state, I couldn't stop myself from helping her. She didn't have enough pills to recover completely, so I gave some of my pills to her...I..." Shish blushed a bit before finally saying after hesitating, " I secretly liked her for quite a while now and even went to meet her a few times but didn't tell my sisters about her yet. Of course, I also didn't say that I love her yet but...Anyway, Say brother Athan, I didn't do anything wrong, right? "

Athan was slightly speechless, but he nonetheless nodded with a smile, " You didn't do anything wrong. Though, how many pills you have left now? "

Shish smiled, hearing from Athan that he did the right thing, " About the pill, I still have half of my total pills left. "

Athan then looked at the girl for a moment before he asked Shish, " Do you think she can completely recover with the pills you gave her? "

Shish nodded, but then he shook his head, " I don't know. I panicked after seeing her in that injured state and just gave all of my pills to her at first. But, Erina only took half of them and said that they are enough. "

Shish looked at Erina worriedly before asking Athan, " Will they not be enough? It would be really unfair if she stops at this stage. She is also ninth-stage in Tier-1 order base and her body strength is red realm 4th-step. Me and My sister were weaker than her six months ago and even now, she could beat us one vs one because she had practiced her technique perfectly and is better at combat than us. Sigh...Her opponent must be really a tough one to injure her to such an extent. I wanted to ask about her opponent but decided to ask later as I wanted her to recover from injuries first. "

Athan looked at Shish's face and thought, ' Looks like this guy is really in love. Guess I'll help out a bit. '

He took out a blood recovery pill and an alignment cure pill before directly transporting them inside his void region using his soul sense. Adding things inside his void region requires a slight contact of his soul sense to the things he wants to send inside.

He then started to study the pill's structure which wasn't that complicated. It took him a few minutes to understand its structure before turning some of the milky white aurae into pills.

He consumed ten percent of his milky white aura to create a total of twenty pills: Ten blood recovery pills and ten alignment cure pills.

He then stored them inside an empty storage pouch inside his void region that was given to him by Reikent long ago.

" Shish. Take this. "

Shish looked at Athan, who gave him a storage pouch, and asked with confusion, " What's this? "

" Check yourself. "

Shish peeked inside the storage pouch with his soul sense and was surprised before hurriedly giving back the pouch to Athan, " Brother Athan, No. I can't take your pills. If Erina requires more pills than I will give her mine. "

Athan smiled and took out additional pills from another storage pouch from the gap behind his armor, " As you can see, I still have my share of pills and haven't used any. So, You can take those pills to her. "

" What! h-how is that possible? " Shish was shocked because he clearly remembers that each one of them got a set consisting of ten pills of each type and no more.

He looked at the pills in Athan's hands and then inside the pouch that he was holding to confirm.

Seeing that he was not hallucinating, He looked at Athan with a shocked expression, " How? "

Athan faintly smiled at his reaction before saying, " It's magic. Now go and give her the pills because she definitely needs more of them to completely recover. "

Shish was moved to tears and thanked Athan multiple times before he rushed towards Erina.

Athan saw Erina opening her eyes which still had the pain in them. But she still smiled at Shish.

Erina had light peach skin and was beautiful looking with short red hair. She had slender eyebrows and had a slim body. But she looked worn out and exhausted due to her injuries.

She was first startled seeing Shish giving her the pouch and seeing the content inside before rejected it. But Shish insisted and showed her that he still had pills for him before Erina finally accepted the pouch.

Athan was seeing this and couldn't help but miss Tiana and Avelia, ' Tiana, Avelia...I hope you two okay. I'll definitely make you remember me. '
