The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan and Arcued were stunned.

Arcued felt stupid after hearing what Tealery said, but he understood that he was impressed by Athan's overwhelming power and didn't even think about Athan taking the oath.

On the other hand, Athan smiled after getting startled and nodded his head, " Alright. I will also take an oath that I will never betray you two and have any intention to harm you in the future. "

Tealery chuckled and said, " Good. Here, Take this contact card. "

Athan caught the contact card and put it inside his void region.

Afterward, Both Athan and Tealery took the oath before they all looked at the five fruits.

" You two take one each, and the remaining three fruits are mine. Any objection? "

Tealery and Arcued looked at each other before answering.

" Fine. "

" No objection. "

Athan went to the tree and started plucking the fruits. When he was going to pluck the last two fruits, Athan suddenly looked in his right direction before putting up five spiral holes. He consumed all of his order force with this.

*Swoooooosh...Swoooooooosh...*

Two blue flaming orbs with green patterns on them shot towards Athan.

They were through the five spiral holes, but their damage was not much decreased as they hit Athan.

Before the attack could hit him, Athan dashed forward slightly and made his body bigger to withstand the attack.

*Boooom...*

"Puchi...."

Athan spurted a mouthful of blood, but it was not a serious injury.

Tealery was fast as after seeing the attack, She directly went towards the direction where the attack came from, and Arcued soon followed.

Athan looked behind him and sighed a relief, " That was clever. "

He meant that the attacker was clever because those two dangerous orbs were not aimed towards Athan but the fruits. Since the barrier was gone, there was no protection to the fruits, and fruits obviously can't withstand the attack.

He hurriedly plucked the remaining two fruits before sending them to his void region and followed Tealery and Arcued.

" Go, Skymare Tingale. "

He sent his pet chaos beast first as he moved slowly so that his injuries can be healed.

That attack cracked his armor, and the attack also went through the cracks and hit him.

' That attacker was Tier-3 order base, but Tealery, who is of the same level, can kill the attacker with the help of arcued. '

He had also sent his Skymare Tingale, so there was no worry that the attacker would overpower them instead.

He soon reached there and saw that the attacker had a turtle-like face and body had faint scales that looked similar to turtle scales. His chest armor already had cracks, and they were increasing.

Athan observed the fight and pointed his finger forward.

' He sure can take hits. '

Just as Athan was going to attack, The turtle-faced person disappeared. He used the mark of order to escape. Athan and others also felt space fluctuation in that area.

But right after that, Three portals opened below each of their feet, and they dropped down into them.

.

.

Outside...

There were two portals. One portal was the big one where everyone entered, and also those who use their mark of order inside the chaos phenom dimension would return from this portal.

But there was another portal, and it was right behind the Envoy and six other people who were sitting on the floating chairs.

This portal was even bigger than the first one.

" The fifty winners will come out of this portal. As for those who have not returned...You can only mourn for them. "

.

.

After dropping inside the portals, Athan, Tealery, and Arcued appeared on an island.

There were other forty-seven people who dropped here from portals.

" Hey, Athan. Our fruits."

Tealery and Arcued found Athan and dashed towards him before asking for the fruits.

" I know, I know. "

Saying this, Athan was going to take out the fruits, but suddenly, They all heard a familiar voice reverberating.

" Warriors of chaos! The tournament is over—exit to outside by going through this portal. "

Suddenly, Everyone saw a giant portal in front of them.

Silence...

Everyone was stunned before they shouted and dashed towards the portal.

Arcued was so excited that his face became red, " Athan! We won. I can't believe I am one of the fifty. Sniff...It's all thanks to you. "

He even became teary-eyed at the end.

Athan was speechless and gave him and Tealery the golden fruit with the cyan pattern, " Stop crying and let's go. "

.

.

Outside...

Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, and Shish were hopefully looking at the portal behind the Envoy and others as the winners will come out from that portal, according to Enjoy.

Shish spoke with determination, " Brother Athan will definitely come out from that portal. "

Drizzly thought with worry, ' Athan. You better come out from that portal. '

Suddenly, They saw people coming out from the portal and became tense and focused there.

' Please...'

" T-that's brother Athan!! "

Shish shouted as he pointed at Athan.

Drizzly and others also noticed him as they became overjoyed.

Shish continued to shout and caught Athan's attention.

Athan smiled at them and nodded.

" Warriors of Chaos! "

Everyone became silent as they looked at Envoy. The fifty winners also stood outside of the portal.

The envoy swept his glance at the remaining participants and sighed, " From the one thousand and two hundred warriors of chaos, Three hundred sixty-nine of them perished. "

Pausing here, The envoy cupped his fist, " My condolences. Everyone tried their best, but as I said, only the last fifty will be the winners. "

He then looked at the fifty winners and smiled, " You all have gone through challenging situations and earned a big opportunity and excellent rewards. "

" GIVE ME BACK! THAT'S MY BROTHER'S STORAGE RING! YOU KILLED HIM. "

Suddenly, Someone shouted from the crowd and pointed at one of the winners.

Everyone's attention went towards the speaker. Some revealed disdain and some revealed sad expressions.

The envoy glanced at the speaker, who shouted and shook his head, " Your brother was already prepared to die before he participated in the tournament. It was mentioned clearly that there would be chances of dying despite having the mark of order to escape. "

" But....but...my brother...Sobs..."

The envoy shook his head and turned his attention back to the winners.
