The Tale of the Void Emperor

Arcued and Tealery recovered after twenty minutes before they looked at Athan, who was staring at the castle and the clouds a few hundred meters away from them.

Nobody said anything as they continued to wait.

After ten minutes passed, Athan suddenly spoke, " We'll wait for twenty meters more. "

Arcued and Tealery, who were standing behind him, nodded silently.

...

After twenty minutes passed, Athan spoke as his face formed a grin, " Let's go. It's time for the hunt. "

They activated their camouflaged techniques before silently moving towards the castle.

When they were just fifty meters away from the castle, They could see and hear a big commotion.

Athan told them to stop here and stay hidden for a while.

Meanwhile, He pointed his finger in front of him and consumed a bit of his abyssal darkness and voidpulse to conjure two Voidlings.

They looked like thumb-sized black sparrows with white patterns on them.

He then commanded the sparrows to move towards the castle.

" I want to make a sneak attack on a large scale. For that, I'll need to assess the situation at the castle. You two will stay here until I succeed and come to the castle later. "

" Got it. " Tealery spoke as she didn't have any problem. 

Arcued just nodded at Athan with complete trust in his eyes.

Athan had infused his soul energy in the sparrows and connected his soul sense to them so that he could see the scene at the castle.

Currently, A woman who had a long and sharp emerald horn on her forehead was running with her equally beautiful emerald hair dancing behind her. She held a scepter in her hand. 

A human girl and a white stone man who had brown patterns on his body protected this woman as she continued to run.

Twenty-nine people were chasing behind the trio while occasionally releasing order techniques.

But it didn't take long before the woman with the long emerald horn had to give up the scepter because of too much pressure because she was feeling the threat of her life.

' I only have one Immortal Aegis Runic ward quota, but I still have to hold this scepter for fifteen minutes. It looks like I'll have to give it up just like the previous person...sigh. '

But unlike the previous person who threw the scepter at her so that she becomes everyone's target, She had a different idea.

Looking in the left direction of the jungle, She gritted her teeth and threw the scepter in the jungle area that was several hundred meters away from the castle.

Athan saw this through the sparrows and frowned, but he suddenly had an idea as he licked up lips, ' That jungle....great. It's a great place to assassinate them. '

The jungle was thick and vast, and he even had his powerful camouflage abilities.

He commanded the Voidlings-sparrows to follow the crowd while he looked at Arcued and Tealery before speaking, " Plan change. You two go to the castle and stay there. I'll return after finishing my work. "

After saying that, He moved towards the jungle area that was the exact opposite of this location.

He had already activated his void robe, void mask and used the Chemo Bend order technique.

Before entering the jungle, He created five more Voidlings-sparrows and scattered them so they can find prey for him.

The previous two sparrows were already following two groups of people.

After entering the jungle, He arrived near one group and silently moved behind them as they tried to find the scepter.

' One will be dead with Spear of Silent Death while I need to kill other two quickly before they can use their quota of immortal aegis runic ward. '

At this time, he wished that he could conjure more than one Spears of Silent Death at a time.

' Wait...I can hit two birds with one stone since two of them are sticking together. '

Athan observed them and waited for the chance to use his Spear of Silent Death such that one spear would pierce through two of them. After all, The Spear of Silent Death is a big and long spear, unlike the normal spears.

After two minutes, That chance finally came as he executed The spear of silent death.

Without any sound or even a ripple in the air, The spear traveled at a breakneck speed before hitting two men who looked like normal humans.

Right after releasing the spear, Athan also made a dash towards the third person of their group and released a 3-star order technique that had similar nature to the spear of silent death, but its attack power was way lower than it.

' Boomerang of Silent Slash. '

Athan released two boomerangs that shot towards the single person who panicked after hearing the cries of his teammates but didn't notice two boomerangs that were coated in abyssal darkness arriving towards them.

*Slash...*

Stunned, The person looked below to see three parts of his body... disintegrating with not even ash remaining.

' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....'

A silent cry of his soul reverberated that no people heard.

The other people who were roaming inside the jungle heard the sound of the explosion of the spear of silent death and cries, but their focus was on finding the scepter, and just through that, two groups had a fall-out.

But none of the group noticed a single, thumb-sized cute sparrow silently following them. They were pets of the reaper of death.

...

At this moment, It was very silent outside.

People gathered here to watch this test and see their sons, daughters, and relatives' glory.

But what they were seeing was a dance of death. A person seemed to have an immense thirst for blood as he let no person escape from his deathly grasps.

...

It's been an hour since Tealery and Arcued were staying in the castle. The group of long emerald horn women was also staying in the castle.

Both of them had noticed each other, but none of them moved and stayed hidden.

But it was at this time that they saw Athan flying towards them with a scepter in his hand. They could see him because Athan removed his mask and undone his chemo bend order technique.

Athan noticed both groups and threw the scepter at Arcued with a grin on his face.

" Take it from those two. " Athan stated as he just floated while crossing his arms.

The long emerald horn woman and the two people with her were startled for a moment. They were going to attack Athan to snatch the scepter from him but seeing that he threw the scepter at Arcued, They dashed towards Tealery and Arcued.

Tealery and Arcued were dumbfounded as they looked at Athan, but they didn't have time to say anything as the trio released their order techniques towards them.
