The Tale of the Void Emperor

"We have put our conditions, yeah. One of them is the hand in marriage of Linci, and I am here for that." Rofelto spoke with a grin as he took out the palm-sized stone, " With this, her powers won't hurt me even if they flare up."

Rofelto licked his lips as he remembered the cold beauty Linci and her heavenly figure, "Such heaven toppling beauty and no one could touch her before...isn't that very sad? hehehe. But now I can do that."

Hill master Keldris looked at the stone with interest before he said with a smile, "By the way, you won't believe it, but there's a person here who can resist Linci's berserk power and...can even use it."

"What!-"Rofelto stood up with shock, but a second later, he shook his head with a smile, "Hahaha, stop joking, uncle Keldris." 

He was sure that Hill master Keldris was just joking. After all, something like that happening is impossible.

But Hill master Keldris shook his head and said, "I am telling the truth. Anyway, you will know about it when you meet Linci." He knew that his words would be taken as a joke, and that's why he didn't insist on that topic.

Rofelto was silent for a few seconds before asked, "Where is Linci right now?"

"Wait, I'll ask about her location."

...

After half an hour, Rofelto left the hill palace of Keldris to meet Linci. 

Although the stone worked on Linci's mother, Rofelto and his father also wanted to check its effect on the original power in Linci.

After a while, he arrived at Newcomer's hill abode and went to Arena hill.

Right after arriving there, He found out that everyone was talking about Linci.

"It looks like she is enjoying the battle..."

"Yeah, I wonder why that berserk power of her is not flaring up?"

"Who knows? But I bet it is likely related to that Terror devil Athan. That person is a total mystery."

Actually, nobody could see the orb floating beside Linci that was absorbing her Netherly frost.

Rofelto heard all of this and walked forward as he saw Linci fighting against someone inside the stadium.

The people were still talking about her as they saw her fighting like this for the first time.

"Who would've thought that she could fight this well against zen order elite despite being in orderic catastrophe without using her berserk power."

"Indeed, her cloud of chaos seems even faster than that of that senior, and she is not even giving the slightest chance for him to attack."

"Her battle senses are really good, not to mention those mastered techniques."

At this moment, Linci was genuinely enjoying the fighting. She had an excited expression and was attacking non-stop as if venting all of the pent-up emotions.

After all, she was alone most of the time, and with nothing to do alone, she would always train by herself. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to show the result of her many years of training until now because every time someone attacked her, the Netherly frost would flare up to attack the attacker.

Rofelto frowned and was confused, 'What's going on? Why her berserk power isn't flaring up? Don't tell me she managed to control it?'

He waited for a few minutes as the fight was finally over and then transmitted his voice towards Linci.

Linci was surprised and looked at Rofelto with a surprised expression, 'Rofelto? Why is he here?'

Linci's Crow family and Rofelto's Lenjas family were both affiliated with the main Chaos Monolith Hills organization in upper-Chaosverse, so they were aquatinted with each other.

Linci flew towards him and spoke indifferently as her expression returned to the one that was always on her face until she met Athan, ice cold.

Rofelto smiled and said, "I have a piece of good news. My family found the cure for your mother." Just like other people, He also couldn't see the orb floating beside Linci and that's why everyone was wondering about her berserk powers not flaring up.

Hearing that, Linci was stunned for a moment before she resumed her ice-cold posture. If Rofelto had arrived here before Linci met Athan, then Linci would have been overjoyed, in disbelief, and in shock for a long time, but she had already found the solution to her problems.

After speaking, Rofelto took out the dark blue stone and said with a smile, "You see this stone? It is capable of absorbing your berserk power. We have already tried it by bringing it near your mother, and it worked!"

"What!..."Linci was truly surprised now, and it was a pleasant surprise as she asked, "W-wait...so my mother is fine now? Really?"

Seeing Linci revealing a happy expression, Rofelto felt awkward and shook his head, "Umm, no...not yet. In the condition of helping you and your mother with this stone, My father has put some conditions with your family. One condition is your hand in marriage since I can stay near you, unlike other people."

Hearing that, Linci was startled before her expression slowly turned cold, but she understood that this is how it worked. No one would give benefits and help other people without taking or asking anything in return.

She understood that people like Athan were the exception to this rule as they were rulers of their own will and had a free spirit. Athan selflessly expressed to help her while those bastard son and father were exhorting her family.

She was sure they should have asked for a heavy price in exchange for using that stone for her and her mother.

But she was also glad about one thing, 'So father...still loves the mother. If he didn't, then he wouldn't have accepted their conditions, and this bastard Rofelto wouldn't have arrived here.'

After not being able to find the cure for his first wife, his beloved life partner, who stayed with him for more than half of his life, Carashen Crow had lost his hope. He had already cast aside Linci when she was a baby because she was the cause of his wife's condition. Everyone believed her to be cursed, and Carashen didn't spend any time with Linci and even bothered to know her situation and feelings because he was always busy finding a cure for his wife. With many years passing like that, he had practically abandon Linci.

That's how Linci was isolated since she was a baby. The servants would just roughly take care of Linci until she was able to walk. They would just stay two meters away from her and use long-range means gently in fear of being attacked by her powers.

Linci took deep breaths as she shook her head and cleared away her past memories before she coldly looked at Rofelto and the stone in his hand, 'That stone can absorb my power? Humph. I want to see that!'

Thinking of that, Linci deactivated the orb given to Primo by completely removing a part of her soul sense from the orb and thought about attacking Rofelto.

Although she can't control her power, it still reacts with her genius emotional thoughts.

So when she became angry and thought of attacking, the Netherly frost flared from her body before going towards the nearest person to her, Rofelto.
