The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan entered inside the special space before taking out his chakrams and returned once again.

He saw that the chakrams didn't disappear, but he could not use his concept, and actually, he didn't even need to use the concept to kill this plant-type beast.

He threw both of the chakrams with great familiarity and technique as they both flew towards the plant before cutting it into three pieces.

[Vine beast killed: 20 points and 20 scores gained. ]

on the scoreboard, Athan instantly appeared at the 4th position because the first three participants have successfully killed their level 2 beasts.

No.27: 30 scores.

He had guessed that he was participant no.27 and if he is not wrong, Mike is no.28.

After killing vine beast and getting points, Athan didn't spend them buy anything and started moving.

He wanted to find mike as soon as possible.

...

Mike waited for the turtle to come out from its shell, and it did after a few seconds.

He wanted to see how will turtle attack him. If it comes near him, he will have to run and find a new target since it would be considered a deadlock.

He won't be able to damage the turtle while he could always run away from it since his speed is faster than it.

Just then, everyone heard a voice once again.

[ The area will be shrinking every 10 hours. The first contraction starts in 3 seconds. ]

After 3 seconds, Everyone could see that the map's border was reduced as the peripheral regions contracted in the circle map.

Some cursed internally, while some were happy seeing these changes. 

At this time, Mike saw the turtle opened its mouth before shooting a dark ball towards him at a fast speed.

Mike rolled towards the left to dodge the attack before releasing flame bullets.

But the turtle was fast in its retraction, and Mike once again failed to damage its head.

" Shit, Now I only have one use left as Mana recovery is very slow. " Mike couldn't help but curse, seeing as he failed.

He focused his gaze on the turtle as it once again came out of its shell after a few seconds.

' I'll have to predict when it's going to attack. If I use my flame bullets first before it uses its power, then there's a chance to kill it. '

The turtle saw that mike didn't attack it, so it opened its mouth to use its dark attack, but Mike noticed this instantly and used flame bullets.

The flame bullets traveled in speed like bullets, but the turtle turned out to be faster as it retracted its head inside after seeing the flame bullets.

A small dark ball was also conjured inside its mouth, but it still chose to retract its head inside, so the flame bullets once again failed to kill it.

But the turtle suffered damage from its own dark ball inside its mouth.

Mike was going to run away since he was out of mana and his stones won't work on the turtle eighter, but he noticed black smoke coming out from its head hole as the shell that covered the gap was also gone.

The turtle had the small dark ball inside its mouth, which it released after retracting its head, so although it didn't die, it still suffered injuries, and even its headshell was destroyed.

Seeing that the turtle was injured, Mike muttered, " But I can't risk myself to go near it. " 

He then decided to wait for 20 mana to fill.

" I hope it doesn't heal its headshell. " Saying this, He stayed on guard and looked at surrounding while waiting.

After 10 minutes, 20 mana was refilled, and he aimed Flame bullets at the hole of its head.

Two flame bullets successfully went inside the hole and penetrated the turtle's head before killing it.

[ Dark Turtle killed: 20 points, and 20 scores gained. ]

" Phew...Looks like it didn't have much healing power. "

Mike then started to look through the shop to buy a useful item.

...

Athan encountered one more level 2 beast, but he easily killed it, and after that, he encountered another participant.

This participant was of Blungra Race. They had dark brown skin, had giant horns on their head and shoulders, and were very buffy.

The dark brown skin was like natural armor to them, and their heads were also covered with it.

The buffy guy attacked Athan directly upon spotting him by throwing a fireball.

Athan dodged, but that blungra race member immediately used another spell as a green net shot towards him.

" Idiot. " muttering this, Athan threw one chakram as It whizzed past the green net after breaking it.

The blungra race member was shocked as he tried to dodge, but since it was so sudden, he failed to doge completely, and his right hand was cut off from his elbow.

" Spare me!! I'm willing to give you anything. "

Athan just sneered and threw his 2nd chakram towards him, which cut both of his legs with a crescent move.

He then moved near him and stopped at a 3-meter distance before spoke with a smile, " You must be blind not to see the weapons in my hands and even attacked me with an intent to kill. "

The blungra race member trembled. He didn't see the shop's whole list, so he thought that Athan bought this chakram and even attacked him since he felt that he could kill this human.

" Please spa- "

Athan interrupted him and said indifferently, " Take out your Blood Token. "

The blungra race member wanted to take out the blood token since his life was more precious, but then realization hit him. He couldn't take anything out even if he wanted to, and his expression changed.

" So you realized, huh? Well, If you didn't attack me first with an intent to kill, then I wouldn't have reason to kill you. "

Saying this, Athan cut his neck with his chakram and continued to move.

[ Participant no.15 killed by participant no.27 ]

Athan received 30 scores but no points as it seems that killing another participant only grants scores and not points.

After a few minutes, The difficulty once again spiked up as everyone finally killed their first level 2 beast, and now, everyone would encounter level 3 beasts.

Several hours passed as three more participants died, but nobody encounter level 3 beast.

Athan also arrived at the center since he was speeding up instead of moving slowly, and right after he reached there, another contraction happened, and the map circle shrank again as 10 hours passed since the last contraction of the map.

After the shrinking process was finished, Athan saw a flaming bull that was 3 meters tall and 6 meters long-running towards him. It seems like the bull appeared out of nowhere.

Its whole body was on fire, and its speed was also very fast. While running towards Athan, It opened its mouth and threw fast fireballs towards Athan.

But Athan just snorted and threw his chakram after dodging the fireball.

The chakram easily broke through the bull's skull before cutting into its head and killed it.

By now, Athan was 40 scores ahead of the 2nd position participant.

' It's good that I can return to space and even use these powerful chakrams here...' Athan smiled while thinking as he continued to move forward in search of Mike.

He didn't hear anything regarding no.28, so mike was still safe.

...

Mike was indeed safe and was moving towards the central region.

But after a while, He encountered a person, and both were surprised to see each other.

That person was none other than Boji.

Mike knew he might not be a match for this Boji, so he cupped his fist and said with a smile, " oh, so it's senior. By the way, senior, Can we work together since we are of the same race member? everyone has the same starting line, and no one has a great advantage over each other, so we can progress safely if we work together. "

Mike didn't notice, but when Boji saw Mike, he panicked inside his heart. But after listening to Mike, he sighed relief and showed a rare smile towards Mike before saying, " Alright, It's my duty to protect juniors, and since we met here, then we should definitely work together. "

Mike felt that this senior Boji is not acting like his usual self, but he was relieved and happy since this senior didn't reject his idea and decided to work together.

They both started moving, and shortly after, they also encountered two levels 3 beasts.

Both of them had different skill sets and items, so they could kill the two-level 3 beasts successfully after working together.

*rustle rustle*

Hearing sounds of rustling and footsteps, Boji and Mike looked in a direction and saw someone appearing in front of them.
