The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Only reasons and logic left inside me is stopping from killing you, an ant at Orderic catastrophe. " Munvald spoke icily with a cold glare before he looked at Avelia behind Athan, " And I have reached patience with you. Since I have set my eyes on you, you are mine. And I...Munvald always takes things that I like. "

Arrogance oozed out from Munvald as he didn't mask his prideful and arrogant stance at all.

At this time, Dean Lanix appeared with a frown and heard the last line of Munvald before his face turned cold, ' I have heard about this arrogant brat from Gardues family, but how dare he throw his weight here? Humph. It looks like I will have to teach him a lesson. '

He looked at Munvald and spoke coldly, " Really? Then I dare you to touch her. "

Munvald looked at Dean Lenix and was surprised. He felt pressure but still grinned as he knew that they wouldn't kill him. 

" Touch her? So what If I touch her? Are you going to kill me for that? Dean Lenix? Hahaha, You won't! The most you can do is to beat me up, but I can endure that. " Munvald spoke as he walked past Athan, who had closed his eyes and stretched his hand towards Avelia while speaking, " I can endure pain but not someone looking down me, and you dare me? Humph, I dare to touch her! " 

Before Munvald's hand could reach Avelia, He felt a grip on his neck from behind and shouted, " Ant! Y-"

Munvald stopped speaking as his face turned into that of horror and also heard the devilish voice of Athan at the same time, " Reasons and logic stopping you from killing me? Hehehe, But they can't stop me from killing you! "

" Don't, Athan! " Dean Lenix shouted.

*Shuaaaaaaaaaa....Tankkkkkkkk*

" Too late..." Athan muttered as he had already released all of the gathered Netherly Frost along with his abyssal darkness inside Munvald when he grabbed his neck.

" Idiot believed that I couldn't kill him until the end and didn't put up his guard at all, heh. " Athan said as he sneered before he walked in front of Avelia and smiled gently. 

Munvald's body was frozen into dark blue Netherly Frost before abyssal darkness devoured him as not even his ash remained. His soul had already died by Netherly frost because it was at its maximum potency since he was absorbing it from Linci for several hours now.

Tiana, Avelia, Mike, and Qerin were dumbfounded, just like the enforcers and dean.

Shiromi, Sen, and others were not as shocked as them and recovered in a second.

' He died? Is the nightmare over? He won't bother me again? ' Avelia felt that she was dreaming.

She was really sinking into despair every time when Munvald came to her because she herself could feel that Munvald was getting impatient and would raise his claw sooner. It was a kind of mental torture to see Munvald stalking her and bothering her every day. She was even thinking of running away and hiding to bid her time while Munvald was away this time but what Tiana said stopped her as she trusted Tiana.

And now that Munvald died, tears appeared in her eyes as she felt intense relief washing her.

Athan looked at Avelia as he used his hands to wipe away her tears and said in a gentle voice, " He won't bother you again. I fixed the problem, just as I promised. "

Seeing this like, Sen, Shiromi, and Linci felt envy and happiness at the same time. 

' Will he do that for me too? How good if he would do that...' Sen felt her heart racing as she thought of that.

Shiromi had mixed feelings, but her heart also felt a slight squeeze. On the other hand, Linci had similar thoughts as Sen.

Avelia looked at Athan as she smiled freely and couldn't hold herself back as she hugged him. Athan felt warm and happy as he caressed her back gently.

At that moment, It was as if something inside Avelia's body woke up, and she felt an unknown longing.  It was as if she longed for this hug, for this touch of Athan for a long time.

Her mind went blank as she felt weird and separate from Athan before she became confused at this phenomenon.

Athan saw her like this as he shook his head internally and turned to Dean Lenix. A faint smile appeared on his face as he asked, " Dean Lenix, can you guarantee that no one can attack us while we are here? "

Dean Lenix looked at Athan and sighed before shaking his head, " I can't. "

" But you should. You should take the guarantee that no one will attack us while we here, in this cloudly land of Chaos Monolith Hills. " Narrowing his eyes, Athan grinned, " If you can take that guarantee, then I will owe you a favor. "

" A favor from my master? " Primo muttered before he revealed his existence to Dean Lenix and shouted, " Idiot! This is a favor from my master! You...do you know how lucky you are? Humph. "

Dean Lenix was dumbfounded at a cat calling him an idiot, and Athan and others became speechless.

Athan quickly thought of something and had an idea as he grinned and said to Primo telepathically, ' Primo, let him feel a bit of your aura. The aura of your true power. '

Dean Lenix saw that the four enforcers that came with him had no reaction to what this cat said and became confused.

" Nobody except you can see that being, Dean Lenix. It just impulsively decided to show you its existence. "

" Shaaa..." Primo hissed before its eyes had a flash of dreamy blue gleam, and its appearance changed for a brief moment as mystical, dreamy blue patterns appeared all over its body with a mystical aura that looked both black and white covered Primo.

It was only for a brief instant, but Dean Lenix was shocked beyond belief as he felt an unknown pressure and a whole new world. His soul shook as he just couldn't believe what he had experienced in that brief moment.

" What did you do, Primo? " Athan asked Primo because he felt that Primo did more than what he asked for.

" Nyaaa...I...I just brought his consciousness to my dimension for a brief moment. It didn't hurt him or anything, but just let him experience and feel the power that is entirely out of his knowledge. " Primo said with a sheepish grin as he raised his paw to hide his face.

" Was that true, Athan? What...is this mysterious being that looks like a cat? " Dean Lenix snapped out of his reverie and asked with a shocked voice while looking at Athan.

Dean Lenix looked Athan deeply with shock, doubt, and other mixed emotions as he continued, " " That's not something from Chaosverse. And you...too. Just who are you? "

Other enforcers also snapped out of their shock of Athan killing Munvald as they heard questions of Dean Lenix.

" Let's talk about important things first, Dean Lenix. Can you give me that guarantee? " After saying that, Athan transmitted his voice to Dean Lenix.

' Dean Lenix...you see those people? They are my family now. If...If anything happened to them, then...even I don't know what I will do. '

Dean Lenix looked at Athan and sighed, ' An extremely arrogant statement...but I didn't sense a single shred of doubt from it. Sigh...In all seriousness, I don't want to see what he will do. '

" Alright. Nothing will happen to them as long as they are on this cloudly land. And...I guess you have some sort of plan. What is it? " Dean Lenix spoke with a straight and serious face.

" For that, I will visit you tomorrow. " Athan faintly smiled as he turned around and said to others, " let's go inside now. It's time to take some rest after eating so much energy-filled food and digest it. "

Shiromi, Sen, Telaery, Arcued, and Theo slightly bowed towards Dean before they followed Athan while Tiana, Avelia, Linci, Qerin, and Mike followed Athan as they entered the inside barrier.

Enforcers and Dean watched Athan entering the barrier and sitting under Efyeed.

" What should we do now, Dean? Ruzald Gardues should already know that his son died and should be going nuts by now. " One of the enforcers spoke.

But Dean Lenix snorted and said, " He may be powerful, but he is just a vice-head of Great Bridgade Palace. I'll put him in his place if he comes here to cause trouble, but he is not the real problem. "

Dean Lenix fell into thought as he got an idea after a few moments and said, " Where are Illias and others? They should be at Star-Breaker Hill, right? "

The enforcers nodded, and in response, Dean Lenix said, " Alright. You four return and forget this whole incident, understand? "

The enforcers looked at each other as they weakly smiled before they nodded at Dean Lenix.

One of the enforcers asked with an awkward smile, " Why were we here again? "

" We..ah yes, we are here to petrol and see if any conflict has risen. The head enforcer told all enforcers to make rounds here since Great Bridgade Palace's people arrived here, and we have to guarantee their safety. " Said an Enforcer with a sheepish grin on his face.

Dean Lenix smiled at the enforcers and nodded, " Alright. I will tell the head enforcer that he indeed passed this order to everyone. "

The four enforcers smiled while shaking their heads before leaving.

On the other hand, Dean Lenix flew towards the hill of the Star-Breaker Hill faction.
