The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 174: Killing promoting castle

Avelia walked up the platform and touched the shining orb.

" Ouch...* Avelia felt a sting on her hand before the orb gave off a blinding white light.

The white light spread across the whole hall as golden motes of light released from the corpses and blood that littered the hall.

The golden motes then entered into the shining orb, and after that, The shining orb entered into Avelia\'s body before it released a certain kind of energy.

Avelia\'s face changed as she hurriedly sat down crossed-legged.

The pathways of the hall didn\'t open even after that because Avelia was in the process of digesting the rewards she received.

The hall became clean with no sign of blood and corpses.

...

Athan and Tiana were moving in a pathway that actually led them to big open ground.

There were already six people present here without including Athan and Tiana and as they entered the ground, they heard a voice.

[ Waiting for two more participants ]

Athan and Tiana understood as they simply stood on the ground just like others. The ground had ten pathways connected to it, and it looked like three football fields put together.

A loud sound reverberated after two more people arrived on the ground from two different pathways.

[ Survive for thirty minutes. All those who survive will receive the reward. Each person who dies during the thirty-minute survival will contribute to the increase of the rewards. ]

*Roarrr...*

*Screeeeeee....*

*Awoooooo*

Beasts of varying sizes conjured on the ground out of nowhere and started attacking the people.

Two beasts also appeared near the place where Athan and Tiana were standing.

A minotaur-like monster with two broad axes in both of its hands and a giant ape that held a large hammer with both of its bulging arms.

Athan had all of his blood magic activated and also used Wisp O\' thunderous before creating illusion clones as he launched towards both beasts.

*ROARRRRRRR...*

The Ape that had magma-like vein patterns on its body destroyed all of the clones with one roar from its mouth that released dark orange shockwaves visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, Athan was already in front of The Minotaur-like monster as he punched hard on its head.

*Splat...*

*Thud...*

The minotaur\'s head burst before it fell with a thud. He didn\'t even need to active the Wisp O\' Thunderous.

Tiana was not just watching as right after the Ape destroyed Athan\'s clones, Devilish dark-red wings unfolded from her back as she disappeared and appeared right in front of the ape.

The Ape was startled as it opened its mouth and released a magma jet stream towards Tiana.

Tiana was exactly waiting for this as she used her geno art: Solace of blood night.

A thin dark red veil appeared around Tiana as the entire attack of Ape was absorbed and turned into powerful enchantment that increased all of her bodily strength, mind, and soul.

Tiana didn\'t give any chance to the Ape after she geno art enchanted her as she put both of her hands together and smacked hard on the head of the ape.

*Burst....*

The Ape\'s whole body was mash to the ground; From 100 meters tall, It turned into a 20-meter mess of flesh.

After the genome tree\'s second branch filled up, The ability of their geno art didn\'t consume their geno energy anymore.

Athan\'s geno art enhanced all of his stats to a very high degree, and it was constant. He could physically pound anyone in this layer.

Tiana\'s geno art creates a thin veil that could absorb any damage thrown to it and turned it into powerful enchantment that powers up her considerably.

Her strength becomes even stronger than the passive enhancement of Athan\'s horned crown, but she had to suffer pain in her mind and body both, and if she can\'t endure it, then the enchantment wears off.

But she improved a lot by using it many times in the trial of Bloodbath so she was able to endure a lot more than her first time.

The ape and minotaur turned into motes of golden light that recovered Tiana\'s energy while Athan didn\'t consume any energy so he didn\'t get anything. But right after that, Three beasts spawned near them.

Two of them were the same size as the previous ones, but one of them exuded a power equivalent to the peak-ruler plane expert.

Tiana looked at it and said to Athan with determination, " Leave that giant three-headed snake to me. "

She dashed towards the three-headed snake beast that gave off similar vibes to the peak-ruler plane expert who has completely comprehended and mastered one rule power.

Athan respected her choice as he quickly finished off the two small fries and watched Tiana\'s fight while also ready to intervene if she comes under threat of death.

But after watching for half a minute, he was surprised and smiled, \' Looks like the match is over. \'

Her geno art makes her invincible unless she can\'t endure it or encounter a power that can break apart her geno art ability.

Tiana carefully avoided some attacks while powering herself up through the geno art and finally killed the three-headed snake beast.

She was still enchanted by Solace of blood night, so she didn\'t descend and simply waited for more beasts to spawn, which indeed happened after the three dead ones turned into golden motes.

But Athan suddenly frowned because along with four beasts that spawned near them, Two other beasts were being led by a human race woman towards them.

" HELP..!"

Athan and Tiana didn\'t have time for that because the four beasts that spawned near them were all giving off-peak-ruler plane aura.

Athan dashed towards the two beasts to his left side and conjured chasm severing before grabbing it.

Tiana also appeared high in the sky above the two bear-like beasts with solid armor of dark green with orange patterns and sharp long claws.

She didn\'t use any attacks and dodged the attacks of beasts as she displayed fabular aerial maneuverability.

While dodging the attacks, one of the bear beasts roared as a wide area of dark green energy blast shoot towards her.

Seeing this, Tiana used her geno art once again even though her enchantment from the previous battle was still there.

Tiana gritted her teeth while feeling pain and took it all as she coldly eyed the woman that appeared 10 meters away from her after she absorbed the dark green energy blast.

She was waiting for her to appear here, along with the two beasts tailing her as she finally used Symphoning Gale, with the remaining 15% of her geno energy.

She controlled the dark red feathers moving like a tornado and targetted the woman who appeared near her.

That human race woman had slight smirt as she was going to thank Tiana, but she didn\'t expect that Tiana would attack her with such a terrifying attack that was rapidly withering all of her powers along with her life.

" St-stop this...We ne-- " She had disbelief in her eyes as she withered away. The disbelief was because she thought that she and Tiana could work together to kill the beasts and never took into account that Tiana would attack her. She thought Tiana would not benefit if she attacked her as Tiana would most definitely die because of the two beasts she led here, along with the two on Tiana\'s plate.

But she was wrong.

After killing her, Tiana humphed with cold eyes as she murmured something. She didn\'t immediately use her remaining dark red feather tornado, which was her geno skill but started moving towards the two beasts led here by the human race woman.

The two bear-like beasts ran after her, and Tiana flapped her dark red devilish wings as she flew up in the sky when all four beasts were almost going to catch her.

The dark red feathers, which moved like a tornado, separated into four groups as each of them covered the head area of the four beasts.

The beasts cried loudly as they started to wither, but she knew that it wasn\'t enough, so she instantly dashed towards the two beasts led by the human woman and hit the withered part of their head, which instantly killed them as her geno art still enchanted her.

She was going to finish off the other two, but Athan was standing on top of the two headless bears as he smiled at her and said gently, " You fought well. Now go and take some rest while recovering your energy. "

Tiana smiled somewhat tiredly towards Athan before disappearing as Athan sent her into the special space.

Athan looked at the remaining people who were still struggling to defeat the current wave of beasts.

" Time to clean up the battlefield. " Athan smirked as she released a hundred more Wisp O\' thunderous as he moved towards the nearest fight, which was chaotic because two beings led their beasts towards a Grakil race being which created the current chaotic fight where six beasts were ganging up on three people.

Athan cracked his neck as he dashed forward; his aim was not just six beasts but everyone as he conjured two chasms severing in both of his hands.

...

At another place, Mike and Qerin actually met up in a trial hall, but Mike\'s left hand was no more after the fight for the prize was finished.

Mike and Qerin didn\'t have the white gold energy inside them, so it takes time to heal their moderate injures while it was simply impossible to regenerate the cut-off limbs for them.

Qerin was not that injured as she was attending to Mike\'s wounds and said in a worried tone, " Can you stop being so reckless? Look at your injuries, idiot. "

" Hehehe..." Mike grinned but didn\'t say anything. He fought valiantly in the hall as he ripped apart many with his geno art.

He had to use his geno skill two times, but it was worth it. Qerin\'s geno art was useful in any situation and could support the attacks thrown by Mike to make sure that his attacks always hit the enemies.

Overall, both used their geno skills twice, so they still had 30% of geno energy left inside them.

" Go and take the reward, and don\'t say no to me because you deserve it. " Qerin said after healing and dressing his would and sealing his cut-off arm.

Mike rubbed his nose with a smile as he touched the treasure chest in the middle of the hall.
