The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 311: The Competition-5, Fast battle.

The third round was over.

Two hundred fifty participants were left, and everyone got an hour's break only.

Celesti, Erina, Shish, and Athan had formed a group as they stood together.

Erina had completely recovered, thanks to the additional pills. After recovering, She wanted to return three blood recovery pills and five alignment cure pills back to Shish, but he rejected, saying that she might need them once again.

Erina consumed more blood recovery pills because, in addition to her serious internal injuries, Her arm that was cut off needed more blood recovery pills to regrow it. The blood recovery pills could grow the limbs but needs more of them in quantity for that.

One hour passed soon as the break was over, and a voice echoed in the underground where all participate were resting.

" In the fourth round, Five people will be sent in a ring to fight each other and the last one standing will be the winner. The round will start after a minute. "

The spectators were also informed of this round as they waited with excited and worried faces. After all, Some of their family members were also participating in this competition.

" Sigh, Brother Athan. Let's hope we four don't meet each other in a ring. " Shish sighed as he became worried.

Hearing that, Athan smiled wryly, " Don't jinx us. Anyway, Just do your best from the start and don't overthink things. You are strong, and you can win. That's all you need to believe. "

Celesti nodded in agreement with Athan as she looks at her brother, " Athan is right. Don't overthink things and focus on fighting with your full strength. "

Erina smiled at Shish and also said, " Yep. Good luck, Shish. I'm sure you can win. "

Shish was slightly embarrassed, but then he nodded strongly as he punched his own chest, " Thanks everyone. I am more confident now. "

Only a few seconds were left until one minute passed as all competitors turned silent. Athan and others also turned silent as they waited. They knew that selected participants would get sucked into the soil beneath them before appearing in the rings on the competition ground.

Fifteen people will be selected as there are three rings.

The one minute was up, and fifteen people were sucked into the soil.

Celesti and Erina were startled and speechless because...both Athan and Shish disappeared.

Celesti smiled wryly and shook her head, " Let's hope they are not in the same ring. "

Erina nodded worriedly in agreement.

...

Fortunately, Athan and Shish were not in the same ring.

Athan looked at his opponents while they also glanced at each other warily.

' I only have offensive techniques and I also lost my armor...Hmmm. ' Thought Athan as he decided to go fully offensive from the start.

Everyone on the ring waited for the signal from the middle-aged man floating in the sky as their nerves were stretched.

" FIGHT...ON! "

Right after hearing that, Athan's eyes turned ferocious as a grin formed on his face.

Swinging both of his hands, He released two Skyline blows towards the two nearest of his opponents.

One of them was a pure human guy, while another was a woman of another race as she had four hands and dark yellow skin with weird patterns.

Of course, His Skyline blows were infused with Abyssal darkness, and even though two of them created shields in front of them, it was useless as this time, Athan had actually created a small spear of abyssal darkness in front of the punch projectiles that were his Skyline blows, and they easily broke whatever defense they created and hit them squarely.

The human guy got hit in the shoulder, while the woman with four hands was hit by Skyline blow in her abdomen.

They screamed in pain as their flesh got devoured, and their energy also didn't work against the abyssal darkness.

Just then, They heard a cold but terrifying voice near their ears, " If you don't want to die....Give up. "

They trembled and didn't hesitate before giving up instantly. They couldn't feel the power of abyssal darkness, but the dread they got from it was terrifying. In those short three seconds of suffering, They failed to stop it from devouring their flesh, bones, and organs and felt like they were in hell.

Athan snapped his finger after they voiced their willingness to give up as the small amount of abyssal darkness that was left in them disappeared.

The human guy and four hands women then disappeared after getting absorbed in the soil.

Everything happened too fast as the other two on the ring were dumbfounded.

Both of them were not human and had additional features. Seeing Athan and his expression, they involuntarily trembled before one of them said to the other, " Let's work together and take him out first. "

Both of them released their techniques instantly without wasting any time.

Athan dodged one after releasing Skyline Blow from his right leg, but the second technique that curved hit him squarely on his right shoulder, at the back part.

As usual, he created a thin film of abyssal darkness internally so that he wouldn't get serious injuries but still, his bones were exposed, and flesh was blasted because that technique looked like a dark blue dagger with orange patterns exploded upon contact.

Athan smiled at them and moved his right shoulder as if that injury didn't affect him at all, " Thanks for the sctrach. I was getting an itch for a while now. "

His opponents were speechless but also shocked.

" F..."

Most of the spectators were also looking at this ring and were speechless about how Athan called the would that blasted his flesh and exposed his wounds...A scratch for his itch.

While his opponents were shocked and dumbfounded, Athan created a clawing motion with his left hand and releasing two sumireas slashes while releasing a skyline blow from his right hand.

He swung his injured right hand as if nothing happened.

*Shuaaa...*

*Shuaaa...*

*Swooosh.....BOOM*

Both of them got the taste of abyssal darkness as both of them screamed at the same time.

" I GIVE UP. "

The spectators went wild.

" WWOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAHH..."
