The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Why is nothing happening even though I filled up the Bloodmark? " Athan muttered with some confusion. He should receive the so-called grand reward since he filled up the Bloodmark, but nothing happened.

After thinking for a moment, He decided to kill one more monster and see if something happens.

He continued moving, and he encountered a few people on the way, but he ignored them. They also didn't make any move on Athan, seeing how fast he was moving and the blood-red armor that coated his whole body along the barrier around him as both of these things gave of powerful energy despite them not sensing the rule power.

After a few hours of moving, He saw a giant castle whose walls and other structures were constantly burning with flames on them. 

The castle was 300 meters tall and 600 meters wide, and a giant gate that was the entrance to the castle; The structural materials of the castle were entirely bright orange mixed with green color as It looked majestic with four flaming towers on each of its corners, and on top of the castle was a long pillar that was also burning with flames.

There were also many people at that location, and they were chaotically fighting against each other.

Athan stopped seeing this and thought, ' Although I held back on my geno energy to kill the bear monster, I still consumed 70% of it to make sure that the bear monster dies. Hmmm, should I go despite not being able to use my geno frame? ' Athan was in a dilemma for a few moments seeing many people at the location.

But after a few seconds, he firmed his mind and moved forward. So what if he can't use his geno frame? He can still put up a fight and won't die instantly. However, he slowed down and concealed himself before moving slowly and silently on the ground.

He observed the fight from afar by enhancing his eyes with magnify mystic intent using his genesis energy and noticed that many people were covered in blood. Still, there was no blood in the ground because it was attracted to the castle's gate before being absorbed by it.

' So that's the reason why they are fighting. It looks like without enough blood spilled, The castle's gate won't open. '

He would be discovered soon if any of them swept their domain towards him or even slightest of their power if he continued moving forward, so he entered inside special space.

' I'll recover my geno energy as much as I can before the castle's gates are opened. ' Thinking of this, Athan started to recover his geno energy.

...

After twenty days, he filled up his geno pond and opened his eyes with a smile, and said, " Looks like everyone is done filling their second branch. "

Mike laughed with gusto and said, " Hahaha, bro, it Looks like you had some good adventure while we were away. "

" The fight outside is really intense; everyone is out for another's blood. " Tiana spoke while looking at the cloud screen.

Avelia nodded and asked with a curious face, " Athan, could this place be the so-called Bloodpath? "

They also got the blood crystal after they reached their limit of reward in the trial of Bloodbath and were told to go to Bloodpath by breaking the crystal.

Athan nodded and said with a grin, " Yep, you are right. This place is really filled with great boons as I got many new powers. "

He showed them the [ Blood Magic of Versatile Covenant ] and [ Lighting Magic of Wisp O' Thunderous ].

The Lighting Magic of Wisp O' Thunderous consumed his primal energy and some of his soul energy when used, and it would create small dark blue wisps with their numbers depending on the consumed energy. The consumption to create these wisps was not that much, and he can control these wisps, which had the ability to go past any physical objects.

Up until this point, It didn't look that great magic, but their dreadful will go from zero to a hundred with just one thought of Athan. 

These wisps, which looked small and docile, were directly connected with Athan's unima core due to the dark blue ball orbiting around it. Upon one thought of Athan, They would crazily consume his primal energy and explode with a rumble of thunder and create a destructive storm at whatever place they were at.

However, the range was 100 meters, and if they are outside of 100 meters around Athan, He can't activate this power.

" We'll talk about other things later. For now, Let's go outside as the castle's gate is shining, and it only needs some more blood before it is opened. " 

Hearing Athan's words, Everyone nodded.

He then brought them outside and said, " Use your geno skills and kill one each. I am sure the gate will open by then. "

There were actually more people at the castle as many died and new ones came.

Tiana and others nodded with serious expressions as they exercised full caution and moved before they used their geno skills to kill.

Athan also threw his chakram towards two people fighting with each other and conjured hundred Wisp O' Thunderous before spreading them, but some of the wisps were destroyed by people who noticed them.

Many people near Athan's group noticed them as one of them shouted, " THEY ARE TOGETHER, KILL THEM FIRST. "

Ten people stopped fighting and moved towards Athan and others because one thing they didn't want after entering the castle was a group of people working together.

Athan frowned for a second before he grinned and said to others, " No need to hold back. Use your geno frames and kill them but don't turn them into dust. Hit their vital points like head and hearts. " He then recalled back his chakram and exploded the remaining wisps which dealt tremendous damage to the group moving towards them.

The ten people of various race which even included a human race man were damage to some degree but they still moved forward for one second. 

For one second only because the next second, They were no more.

They couldn't even regret coming over because that's how fast they died.

The last thing they saw were colorful lights flashing in their eyes with insanely fast speed as they lost their lives.

The castle's gate attracted the free blood as it absorbed every single drop.

*RUMBLE....*

A loud rumble of gate moving resounded, which put a stop to the current chaotic fight before everyone madly charged towards the now opened gate.
