The Tale of the Void Emperor

Frenzel brought his grandson after a few hours. He had a gentle smile on his face as he greeted everyone, " Hello, Elders. I, Danfer, pay my respect to you. "

Danfer looked to be in his twenties, but he was not an average human like his grandfather, Frenzel. Instead, He had a closed third eye in the middle of his forehead and also two shining emerald horns with bright yellow vein patterns.

Even though he was polite and had a gentle smile on his handsome face, One could clearly see the pride in his eyes and his bearing.

" Efyeed, Would you please check if my grandson is more worthy than your current Master? " Frenzel looked calm at this time and spoke politely towards Efyeed.

Athan looked on with a playful smile because there was a plan as to why he decided to let his grandson come here and gave this chance.

Dean and other Enforcers looked at Efyeed, who swayed slightly and formed symbols on its trunk.

' Let him stay under me. It will take a few minutes to inspect and judge him fully. '

Everyone received this thought of Efyeed as Frenzel said to his grandson, " Go, Danfer. "

" Yes, Grandpa. " Danfer spoke and bowed slightly before walking towards  Efyeed. While walking, He glanced at the left side where only Athan was standing and smirked confidently.

" Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Master, That ant's attitude is unforgivable. How dare he looks down on you. " Primo fumed seeing that.

Athan faintly smiled and said telepathically, ' Chill, Primo. That Frenzel, He will regret bringing his grandson here and starting this farce. '

At this time, Danfer sat down under the chaos enlightenment tree, Efyeed. 

Efyeed glowed slightly as some colorful chaos wisps surrounded Danfer. 

Dean, Geodrok, Frenzel, and other Enforcers patiently waited as several minutes passed and Efyeed conjured symbols on its trunk.

' I finished inspecting him. He-'

" Wait! Don't speak anything, Efyeed. " 

Suddenly, Athan interrupted Efyeed, and everyone looked at Athan with a slight frown.

" Boy! You can't go back on your words now! You and Efyeed took the oath. " Frenzel had apparent anger on his face as he spoke while Danfer opened his eyes and just kept sitting under Efyeed while watching.

" Relax, man. I am not going back on my words. But...This is somewhat unfair to me. If I lose, I lose Efyeed, but if I win and prove you wrong, I don't get anything? How is this fair? " Athan questioned with a pitiful expression on his face. As if they were bullying him.

He then coughed and changed his pitiful expression to one that of a polite smile before speaking, " Efyeed will not speak of the results and how It feels regarding your grandson without my orders. So...Shall we discuss about what will I get if your grandson turns out to be worthless? " 

" You!..."

" Stop it, Frenzel. Athan is right about this. We also believe in a first-come, first-serve basis. So letting him relinquish Efyeed if he loses but gets nothing if he wins is somewhat unfair here. " Dean Lenix stated with a thoughtful expression as he looked at Athan, Efyeed, and finally paused at  Danfer before asking, " What do you say? Are you willing to suffer some losses in case Efyeed rejects you? "

Danfer had always been confident about himself and his abilities because of his grandpa and father. So he had no problem, but He still looked at his grandpa. " Grandpa. What do you say? Do you believe me? "

Frenzel snorted proudly, " Of course, I believe you. But we will have to see what that boy demands as his reward upon his win, which, I believe, will not happen. "

Everyone looked at Athan as he still had that carefree attitude. In turn, Athan looked at Dean Lenix with a cunning smile and asked, " First, I want to know about your part in this farce, Dean Lenix. If I win, will my demand be fulfilled by Frenzel alone, or will chaos monolith Hill also help him? "

Dean Lenix looked deeply at Athan before suddenly smiling, " That depends on your demand. What exactly do you want as your winning reward? "

Athan shook his head with a grin, " Nope. You have to tell me about your stand in this before I state my reward. "

' Tsk...Cunning boy. If I put the whole bucket in Frenzel's hand, I would lose the trust of not one but many behind me. But...If I say that chaos monolith Hill will support Frenzel, he will demand something that matches that level.

Hmmm, What exactly is he planning to ask? According to the records I read about him, he shouldn't have much knowledge regarding things here because he came from the lower Chaosverse. Also...Recently, He got into conflict with many factions, and they decided to ban him from joining any faction. Could it be his demand is related to that? '

Dean Lenix thought many things rapidly, with only two seconds passing outside as he smiled after coming to a conclusion. It was really simple, He just can't put the whole bucket in the hands of Frenzel, but he can still change the demands of Athan with logic.

" Frenzel is part of chaos monolith hills. So, naturally, the organization is behind him. " Dean Lenix stated with a smile before he adopted a stern expression, " Alright, state your reward in case you win. Know that it shouldn't be too excessive. "

Athan nodded before speaking with a faint smile, " Good. But I won't demand outrageous things. Considering that I get to keep Efyeed, which is actually my right. But still, I won't ask of something at the same level of chaos enlightenment tree or even something half of its value because that would be overkill, and you also wouldn't accept it, right? "

Dean Lenix's stern face turned into a smile as he laughed out loud, " Hey, So you understand it, lad. Hahaha, That makes things easier. Go ahead and state your reward. "

Athan nodded before looking at Frenzel as he playfully smiled, " I heard that there are not many restrictions in Chaos monolith hills, and they are allowed to do almost everything except for killing and sulling chastity of men and women forcefully without their consent? "

Frenzel saw Athan asking this question at him, so he indifferently nodded, " That's true. "

" Then I won't demand something outrageous that will result in loss of chaos monolith hills. Our dear Enforcer Frenzel can easily fulfill my reward. Hehehe, Enforcer Frenzel just needs to protect people with me and me for five years. After all, I want to create a faction, and I don't want any trouble while I prepare for it and focus on getting stronger. This also applies when we go outside of Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Hearing this demand, Everyone became surprised. But Frenzel laughed out loud and spoke, " I accept it! Just five years of protection is nothing compared to my grandson getting Efyeed. "

" Oh, by the way, This five-year period of protection will not start right now. It will start when we finish our new recruit term, which is after five years. After five years, You will have to act as our bodyguard for five years even after we go outside. Don't worry. I won't need your protection, but it's mainly for my people when they want to go outside for some mission or task. " Athan stated with a grin.

Dean Lenix and others were dumbfounded.
