The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan saw a giant stone tower from afar and stopped because he felt some energy wave and instantly entered the special space.

At the same time, two humanoids appeared at the place where Athan disappeared.

Both of them had green wings behind them and were roughly 2 to 2.5 meters in height.

They had buffed bodies and had claws in place of hands and feet, and their faces had slightly green scales.

" Could it be that we imagined things? I am sure I sensed someone's presence and some energy readings here. " 

" Nope, If only one of us sensed that, then It might be that case, but we both sensed it, and this person seems to have some good means to hide. "

" Whatever, Let's complete our trial and get the reward. I tried to scan the surroundings but couldn't sense anything besides the residual elemental energies. "

Inside the Special Space, Athan and others listened to them and saw them leaving after speaking to each other for some time.

Athan had created a round table as everyone was sitting on it. On the other hand, Mimi and Lucky were playing tag game as they ran about everywhere.

" Why are you all silent? "

Mike broke the silence seeing nobody speaking after arranging the round table.

Qerin pinched Mike's thighs and said, " Can't you see that we are pondering about the current situation? "

Athan and others laughed and Tiana spoke with a smile, " The only clue in their conversation was that They are going to complete a trial and get the reward. "

Others nodded but they could not find out any information from just those words.

After a moment of thinking, Athan stood up and decided to go out once again.

" I'll go out and try to speak with them if possible. But if not, then I can always enter inside. "Saying this, He used his spells and wore Black Dragon Scalred armor and Bluenightmare wings.

He also summoned Lucent Tiger, which was his Altar Spirit, before going out.

The moment he went out, Lucent Tiger created Infinite Crystals of Prism as ten illusions of Athan were formed inside it.

*Swoosh*

Once again, the Two humanoid beings appeared after they sensed him and more energy due to deploying the defensive prism and the illusions as they looked at Athan curiously.

With a hoarse voice, Athan spoke, " These two....friends. Can you tell me what this place is? "

The two beings who were of Grakil Race looked at each other with a shocked expression.

One of them looked at Athan and asked with a doubt, " How did you appear here if you don't know anything about this place? "

Another one nodded as he looked at those the defense around Athan, " And what's with that puny defense? "

' I am glad that they didn't attack me right away. ',

He then thought for a few seconds before deciding.

" I fell into a space crack and arrived here; thus, I don't have any knowledge about this place. " 

Hearing what Athan said, Both of them started laughing as if they heard a most stupid joke.

" Are you taking us for fools, or did you become a fool after arriving here? "

One of them then took out a Blood colored Token and showed Athan before saying, " Don't you have this Token? Without this, you can't stay here. "

Athan frowned, seeing it, and said, " I don't have any Token like that. "

" Impossible. "

" You are lying. You can't enter into any trials without this token and will be kicked out from this dimension. "

Athan shook his head and said in a helpless voice, " I'm telling the truth, I don't have any Token, and I arrived here through a space crack. "

The two beings looked at each other and started talking after putting a barrier around them.

" Rarik, What do you think about this guy? He seems like a human race member to me though I'm not sure. "

" He is indeed a human, and I used my Truth and False Rule on him, and he doesn't seem to be lying. Though he could also be using some powerful Ruling power to negate my rule's effect on him. But...his energy readings are so weak, and I can't sense any ruling power on him. Are you sure he is in Ruler Plane? "

" That's what's baffling me...Why don't we capture him, Narik? He seems like an anomaly."

...

Athan saw two of them talking to each other for a while before turning to him as they smiled, which caused their green scales on cheeks to stretch apart.

Feeling the situation wrong, He instantly entered the Special Place.

Right after that, A black net that was glowing with a brown hue appeared at the place where he was standing at.

Seeing that they failed to capture him, The two beings cursed.

" Looks like he got some powerful escape means. Let's not waste time anymore. We were just going to enter the Trial but came here and wasted our time. "

" Indeed. We are still in the lowest layer and need to get as strong as we can before 100 years are up. "

...

Athan shook his head helplessly after appearing inside the Special Space.

Others also saw what happened as they felt that this place was really dangerous.

" We should just calm down and chill for now. " Avelia spoke, seeing a worried look on everyone's face.

Since they were already here, there was no use worrying about it.

" Alright, bro, I think we need a home to stay in first as I feel like we won't be leaving this space anytime soon. "

Mike spoke with a grin and pointed at the mountain range, " Let's go over there and build our first houses first. "

Although speechless, It was the only thing they could do for now.

The special space was vast.

Mimi's bed was 10 meters away from the white lake, and there was green grass that had red tips in the surrounding area of the lake and Mimi's bed.

A few trees here and there that had some fruits while all of this was surrounded by mountain ranges.

And behind the mountain ranges had vast plains that had a blanket of greenery and water bodies.

Athan, Tiana, and Avelia choose a mountain before building their house there, while Mike and Qerin choose to build their house on another mountain.

Mimi and Lucky watched them from below while sitting on her bed as Athan and others build their house.

" Why are they building their house on top and not here? " Mimi asked curiously.

*Meow...*

" I also don't know nyaaa..."
