The Tale of the Void Emperor

Rofelto sensed a threat and was surprised to feel biting cold, but he smirked as he saw the stone glowing and absorbing Linci's berserk power.

"Hahaha, I told you it will work. See? Isn't it magical?" Rofelto laughed as he said, but suddenly, he remembered something and asked with doubt, "Oh yeah, by the way, why didn't your berserk power didn't flare up when fighting in Arena?"

But on the other hand, Linci was getting angrier, 'WHY!? Why my father didn't find this stone earlier? IF THERE WAS SUCH THING, WHY WASN'T IT FOUND FOR SO MANY YEARS?'

Her powers reached maximum potency in a few seconds because when she was fighting in the arena, it was releasing for more than twenty minutes already, but all of it was absorbed by the orb.

And now that she deactivated the orb and released her power with her emotional intentions, it only took a few seconds to reach back to its maximum potency as not much time had passed since her fight in the arena.

"Linci? Why are you angry?" Rofelto was confused seeing the angered expression and slightly red eyes of Linci.

*Crack...*

Silence...

A half-second passed...

Rofelto sweated like a waterfall in that half-second as his eyes caught web cracks all over the stone in his hand.

'Shit!'

In the next half-second, He explored with all of his powers of Evagon order base as alarm bells started ringing in the enforcer's hill center. 

But...

*Crackkkk..boom.*

The stone completely shattered as an intense Netherly frost released from the blast of the stone and froze Rofelto's body and soul to death.

Linci was stunned as she hurridly activated the orb, which instantly absorbed the Netherly frost before it could hurt other people several tens of meters away from them.

But after that, Linci's eyebrows creased into worry. She didn't want to kill Rofelto, but everything happened too suddenly.

'Sigh...It looks like I brought some trouble upon them,' Linci thought as she sighed, 'Although they can handle this little bit of trouble, I still should delay the news of his death. Hmmm...since he died here, his soul slip shouldn't have any reaction yet.'

Linci was not worrying about the Crow family because it was more powerful than the Lenjas family. Even though both family's leaders were equal strength, the Crow family had more influence and connections.

At this time, several enforcers, Dean Lenix, and some Hill masters also arrived.

One of the hill masters was Keldris, and he had an intense frown as he saw frozen body pieces of Rofelto.

Linci instantly recognized Keldris as she knew that he was affiliated with Lenjas family and transmitted her voice to Dean Lenix, "Dean Lenix, please restrain Hill master Keldris. I will explain the matter very soon."

Dean Lenix actually roughly understood the matter in a simple manner as he looked at the dead Rofelto. 

'Linci killed Rofelto, and she wants to block the news.' Thinking of that, Dean Lenix looked at Hill master Keldris and smiled, "Keldris, why don't you come with me? I have some important matter to discuss with you."

Hearing that, Keldri smiled weakly as he also understood his position and nodded, 'Sigh...didn't expect Rofelto to die. Hmm...so that stone didn't work in the end?'

The other Hill masters knew that this situation was related to the upper-Chaosverse and didn't want to meddle in it.

"Everyone, there's no more danger, so return back to what you were doing." Dean Lenix said as he looked at everyone.

After everyone left, Linci also flew deeper into the cloudly land after receiving a call from Dean Lenix.

...

In Deal Lenix's exquisite palace's back hall...

Dean Lenix, Hill master Keldris, and Linci, who just arrived here, sat down on an empty couch.

"Keldris, I will not make things difficult for you since we are all from Chaos Monolith Hills. Just...don't give this news to Lenjas family yet." Dean Lenix calmly spoke as he took a sip from the teacup.

Hill master Keldris sighed as he also took a sip from the teacup and said, "I have no other choice anyway, right Dean?"

Dean Lenix faintly smiled and said, "You also know that I am a bit closer to Crow family than Lenjas family. So if you disagree, then I will just have to restrain you for some years."

Keldris was surprised and said with doubt, "So you are saying that I can relay the news after some years?"

"Yep. Lenjas family will catch onto this sooner or later, but for some years, I will have you take an oath to keep silent about this matter." 

Keldris weakly smiled and nodded, "Fine."

Afterward, he took the oath not to tell this matter Lenjas family until Dean Lenix allowed him to do it.

"So that stone didn't work in the end?" Lenjas looked at Linci as he said with doubt, "But from how confident and sure Rofelto sounded, the stone should have worked as he said that they also tested it on your mother."

Hearing that, Linci answered with indifference, "It worked but not for long.  It had its capacity, and after a few seconds of absorbing my power, the stone broke apart, which resulted in the death of Rofelto."

"A few seconds? But doesn't it take some time for your power to reach higher in potency?" Dean Lenix asked with surprise.

Linci smiled as she looked at Dean Lenix and said, "I've been fighting in the arena against someone, but my power was not flaring up towards that person. Hehe, Athan found a solution to my problem, and now as long as I want, I can keep my power under my tab."

Hearing that, both Dean Lenix and Keldris were surprised.

"Dean, why don't you attack? Just slightly attack with the intention of harming me." Linci said with a chuckle.

Hearing that, Dean Lenix and Keldris started sweating.

Dean Lenix shook his head with a weak smile, "Nah, I will pass. It's not like I don't believe you. Since Athan found the solution, I am sure it is hundred percent workable but still...forget it."

Keldris nodded, but he was surprised hearing the words of Dean, 'Athan? Why does he have so much faith in that brat? Although feats he has achieved are no less than a miracle but still...for Dean to have such high opinion Athan...hmmm, It looks like there's more to that kid than what other knowns.'

Everyone knew that Athan was capable of killing Zen order master and he was a Runic Artist genius but they didn't know about his other feats as only Dean Lenix, Head Zangrel and Athan's friends knew about them.
