The Tale of the Void Emperor

Youhan Tree Organization, Pocket Space Branch No.231, Athan's abode.

Inside his Abode, Athan looked like a terrifying demon. His soul was less than half of its original size. At least 70% of the source of his soul was gone. 

But after being in this hell he created for himself for eight days, He finally succeeded.

An intense white light released from his soul, which directly went towards his white orb and the black orb.

Athan then put his soul back into the void region and opened his eyes that shone for an instant with a black and white glow.

His face displayed exhaustion, and he just wanted to sleep right now as his soul was just too much damaged. But despite all these, A grin formed on his face before he fell down to the side with his eyes closed.

He muttered some audible words from his mouth as he fell asleep, " Abyss...al...void..of fab...ricati...on. "

...

Two days passed, and it was the tenth day, but Athan was still sleeping.

Reikent arrived at Athan's abode, and after not seeing Athan outside, He entered inside his abode.

After he entered, He checked Athan's bedroom and saw him lying on it to one side.

Seeing this, Reikent raised his eyebrows in surprise and muttered, " What's going on? "

He walked near Athan, and to wake him up, He stretched his hand to touch his shoulder, but before he could touch his shoulders, A black aura appeared around Athan, and Reikent instantly moved back with a startled and surprised face that had a hint of caution.

Narrowing his eyes, Reikent looked at Athan carefully, ' What was that? It felt a bit dangerous to me. If I touch it, then I would have likely damaged or lost my fingers.  But...Hehehe, That's very interesting. '

His curiosity was piqued. It was unthinkable that someone who is just a Novice Order Apprentice possesses a power that could hurt him.

' This black film only appeared when I tried to touch it, but Athan is still asleep. Hmmm...This means that his body, or more specifically, his instincts, automatically produced this film as self-protection. It looks like what he said about his physique was right. It seems to went some strange changes after he broke through and gained this peculiar power. '

Reikent grinned and moved towards Athan before he actually stretched his hand once again. He touched the black film with his index finger to check out this peculiar power.

Right after his finger touched the black film, a black aura started to devour his finger, and in just a second, Half of his index finger was gone.

Reikent didn't cut his finger off to stop this spread of black aura instantly but waited until 90% percent of his index finger was gone, and the black aura also disappeared. Since he immediately took his finger away from the black film, not much of this strange black power was stuck to his finger.

He waited because he wanted to study and feel what kind of power this was, and another reason was that he was confident in regenerating his finger.

But he was disappointed that he couldn't understand this power and its nature, ' No wonder my eyes couldn't get past even his physical body.' 

While looking at Athan, he smiled wryly, ' Looks like I found a hidden gem for the organization. I'll have to inform Yone about Athan and get Athan into Hidden Dragon Troupe. '

Hidden Dragon Troupe was secret management of the Youhan Tree Organization, Led by the second leader, Yone. Only those who have displayed extraordinary qualities like powerful and unique body physique, unique soul physique, innate traits, etc., were allowed to join Hidden Dragon Troupe. 

The members of Hidden Dragon Troupe receive special treatment from the organization and help in training in exchange for making contributions for the organization when required. The current number one member of the Hidden Dragon Troupe was just slightly weaker than the third leader in terms of strength.

Of course, This doesn't mean that those who don't have any special qualities are weaker than those who have. Often, those who have mastery over their chaos power through the order and have wits can kill those with special qualities. Also, These special qualities are all part of the chaos, and people can also get it by chance, luck, and hard work.

After thinking about the arrangements of Athan, Reikent then focused on his hand, which was missing one index finger, " Let's heal this. "

His current body could easily recover from such direct injuries even if he didn't activate his powers...Or at least, That's what he thought.

But He waited for half an hour, and his finger still didn't start to recover. He then tried to heal it using the power of his body order ken and activated his body power, ' Viridescent Torq....'

A blue and green mixture aura with a bright gold glow and sparks enveloped his body which he then focused on his finger to heal.

The aura gathered his hand, but his finger still didn't recover after waiting for a while.

Seeing the result, His face finally turned grave as he muttered, " Now this is...something very unexpected. "

He then looked at Athan and smiled wryly while thinking deeply about it before he muttered with shock and surprise, " Looks like his physique is even more powerful than I thought. Only someone with a higher quality of power than my order base can give such unrecoverable injury to me, but Athan is not Zen Order Elite, so...That only means that his physique is a Zen Order Quality, and he will at least become Zen Order Elite. Damn..."

In the end, He couldn't help but get excited over the future of Athan even though all of these were just his speculations, but After a second, He calmed down. 

He still needed to recover his finger, or it will be trouble since he is a Dual-Sword user and all of his fingers are essential to him. His only choice was to ask for leaders to heal his injuries, and so, he turned around to return.

But at this moment, Athan woke up as a groan left his mouth and opened his eyes weakly.

Reikent turned around hearing that and looked at Athan before he laughed, " You sneaky bastard. I didn't know you had such a powerful physique. Look, my finger is gone, and I can't even recover it with my power. "

Actually, He had regained his consciousness when Reikent touched the black film and also knew what Reikent muttered and was observing him with his soul sense. However, since he was still exhausted, he didn't wake up.

Athan looked at Reikent's finger and...nodded before he stretched his hand weakly towards Reikent and spoke, " I'll recover your finger. " After saying this, A milky white aura released from Athan's hand, which went towards empty space in Reikent's hand where his finger was missing.

After a few seconds, The milky white aura dissipated, and a finger appeared.

Seeing the finger, Reikent was surprised because it was precisely the same finger he had before. Like it wasn't recovered and new grown finger but exactly the finger he possed before.
