The Tale of the Void Emperor

After hearing everything that happened here, Shiromi, Tealery, and Arcued were so shocked that they couldn't say anything for a while and just stared at Athan-cacoon.

" By the way, Who are you two? "

At this time, Samira questioned as she looked at Tealery and Arcued. Drizzly felt like she had seen them somewhere, and just before she remembered them and was going to tell others about them, Arcued beat her to it.

Arcued slightly bowed before speaking politely, " We are Athan's...Umm, friends and also teammates. We decided to come here and train together with Athan for the upcoming final test of Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Tealery nodded with smiled wryly, " We only have four years to breakthrough to Orderic Catastrophe now. So, we need to hurry and roam the Chaosverse to find opportunities so that we can make faster progress. "

Ayurin's ears twitched hearing that as she suddenly smiled. She took out a contact card and said something.

Yone, Tronel, and others were astonished to hear that before they smiled.

Yone nodded with a smile, " So you two are also winners. It's kind of strange to see Athan making friends, Hahaha. Although It's been short since he was with us, I feel that his personality is...quite distant and a bit apathetic. "

Drizzly smiled wryly and added, " Well, he has different faces depending on the situation. Sometimes, He behaves a bit extreme and like a madman. Well, you already saw that in the memory cloud of master Ayurin. "

" Indeed. I had never seen Athan like that before. " Tronel and Chunshi nodded in agreement.

" But I have and twice at that. " Shaking her head, Drizzly sighed, " This case with Keila was the third time. "

At this time, Ayurin interjected, " What are your plans now? I don't think you know when Athan will come out from the cacoon, right? "

Yone, Drizzly, and others shook their heads.

Ayurin thought for a moment and said, " There is no other choice then. You have to stand guard here because I doubt we can transport Athan through a portal in his current state. Anything that goes near him is met with destruction, and the portal will also meet the same fate. "

Yone nodded with a serious expression, " That's true. We can't take such a risk. " He then paused for a moment adopting a thoughtful expression, " There was a similar case previously when his unique body physique was upgraded. At least, That's what he told us. Although he didn't turn into cacoon at that time, he slept for a few months before waking up. "

Hearing that, Samira raised her eyebrows, " Maybe this confrontation with Keila triggered the upgrade of his unique body physique again? "

" Whatever the case, Tronel, and Chunshi will stand guard here until Athan wakes up. Meanwhile, Shiromi and these friends of Athan will search in the surrounding regions for a Chaos Phenom Dimension. "

Yone issued some orders before he looked at Samira and Chunshi, " How many elders arrived here with you? "

Arcued answered politely with a slight bow, " One elder, He is the grand elder of my clan. "

On the other hand, Tealery did the same, " Two elders. "

" They should be in the guest area, right? You can call them and prepare to go on the journey to find a chaos phenom dimension to train. Shiromi and Samira will also be joining you. "

...

After arranging everything, Everyone dispersed.

Ayurin surprisingly decided to stay here as she took out a table and chair. Her reason for staying was that she wanted to observe Athan.

Yone and others didn't reject her since she had arrived here to help Athan. It would look bad if they told her to leave right now. Not to mention, she was currently the most powerful person in the Dosflame region.

Shiromi, Tealery, and Arcued left with their protectors, and once they found a chaos phenom dimension of C-grade, They would contact Yone so that when Athan comes out of the cacoon, He can go there directly.

...

A month passed, and there was now an additional person sitting in front of Ayurin.

" Master, did you managed to understand anything after observing Athan daily? "

Tronel and Chunshi were also sitting at the same table, and they looked at Ayurin after hearing the question of Sen.

Ayurin shook her head as she picked up the teacup and took a sip, " Nothing solid. But..." She narrowed her beautiful deep blue eyes while looking at Athan-cacoon and said, " Whatever power he has is outside of this world. "

" Outside of this world? " Tronel and Chunshi repeated with a confused expression.

Putting the teacup down, Ayurin smiled, " Five days ago, I extended my soul sense towards the cacoon. I was ready to cut it as soon as it went near one meter of it because the cause of Reika's death was soul obliteration by Athan. "

" Master! " Sen stood up with wide eyes, " How could you do something so dangerous? "

" Calm down, Sweetie. I am perfectly fine. " Ayurin smiled wryly as she looked at her dear student before she continued, " Anyway, My powerful soul sense was also obliterated by it instantly. So, I guessed that his unique physique or whatever is not from this world. Maybe its origins are from Upper Chaosverse? "

Hearing that, Tronel respectfully asked with a serious expression, " Master Ayurin, Do you know more about Upper Chaosverse? "

" Nope. Some of my preceders went there but didn't return, So I don't know what's in there or how is it is different from this Chaosverse. But it's been said that these Ancient powers' origins are in Upper Chaosverse, so they should have factual information about it. "

*Crack...Ripp..*

Suddenly they heard the sound cracking and ripping and hurriedly looked at the cacoon.

The cacoon shone with a black glow while the white vein-like patterns were also pulsed with a white glow as the cacoon started to crack and rip apart.

After a few seconds, They saw a white hand with black and white patterns on the skin penetrating the cacoon from inside.

" Ohh...His hand. Those patterns look...cool. " Sen spoke with wide eyes. The patterns were curved linings of black and white and looked really badass.

But those patterns disappeared after a second, and his hand returned to normal.

*Ripppp....*
