The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Lady Fu? Why are you here?" Jeargen asked with a surprised expression.

Lady Fu recognized Jeargen as well, but she frowned as she looked at Tronel, Samira, and other members of Hidden Dragon Troupe lying, 'They are completely crippled with no way of recovery unless...sigh, this is worse than dying.'

She shook her head because the last thing Athan said to her was to save these people, and she knew that they were close to Athan. In their journey here, Shiromi and Athan talked about Hidden Dragon Troupe.

She waved her hand as a verdant green globe enveloped Tronel and others. They were barely alive after being completely crippled and injured.

Jeargen frowned after seeing that Lady Fu ignored him and said, "Lady Fu, it's better that you stay out of this matter."

He had secured Drizzly in his order technique after sensing a presence that was a powerful as him.

"Jeargen...I can't let you get away with that girl," Lady Fu said while shaking her head.

Jeargen was standing in front of the trapped Drizzly and hearing Lady Fu's words, his face turned dark as he stretched his hand to the side, indicating that he wouldn't let go of Drizzly and said, "This girl is very important to our clan. Lady Fu...even if I have to go all out, I will take her with me."

Lady Fu was surprised, "You are more worried about her than your son?"

"What do you mean?" Jeargen frowned.

Seeing the reaction of Jeargen, Lady Fu was startled, "Don't you know that your son died?"

"What!" Jeargen's body trembled in shock, and his mind went blank, 'Is that I was feeling bad omen the whole time? Why didn't big brother tell me such important news?'

*Shuaa....*

Lady Fu took his chance as she attacked Jeargen with a dark, thick red beam that was bendable. It shot forward from Lady's palm in a zig-zag manner at blinding speed, aiming Jeargen's head.

Jeargen sensed threat as he exploded with all of his power and conjured a round golden-brown shield to the side of his head to block the attack.

*Crack...*

Before the shield broke, he disappeared from his position, and in the next second, He was seen at the right side of Lady Fu with his deadly dragon-claws coated with some kind of claw armored weapon.

Lady snorted as an umbrella appeared in her hand suddenly, which blocked Jeargen's claw attack.

*Roarr...*

A roar left from Jeargen's mouth before chaotic vibration echoed towards Lady Fu, bypassing the verdant green umbrella.

But Lady moved her hand slightly as the umbrella started to spin as it 

released verdant green sparks and absorbed the chaotic vibrations.

Right after that, she disappeared from her place and flew high in the sky.

"Evagon Domain- Flare of Verdant Hell! A mutter left Lady Fu's mouth as the world around them changed as demonic verdant chaotic winds blew everywhere.

They converged into deadly blades of various kinds and attacked Jeargen.

But Lady Fu didn't stop, "Superimpose- Dark Tides..."

Suddenly Black ink-like patches appeared in this hellish verdant world as they attacked Jeargen in tandem with demonic verdant chaotic wind blades.

Jeargen also activated his Evagon Domain as a world blood-red moon appeared with dark brown spots. Both worlds clashed against each other as Jeargen and Lady Fu battled.

...

On the other hand, A bloody massacre was happening all around the Youhan Tree as hundreds of voidling-zoids attacked everyone chaotically.

But the terrifying ones were the seven voidling-zoids that Lady left behind.

She even infused with an area of attack order techniques; Even Titan-voidling was infused by area of attack order technique as its body became twice its already big size with an enchanted body that was killing everyone with a single slap. One-shot! Lady Fu likely infused a powerful body order technique in it.

But its speed of killing was still slower than the other three voidlings, who were just like a nightmare.

Blitzzer, Bladeus, and Artilar were slaughtering tens of people every moment.

These seven voidlings infused with the power of an Evagon-realm powerhouse proved to be a nightmare to all these people. The most powerful people of them were Zen order Grandmasters, and they were the first ones to die.

On the other hand, Athan first preserved the body of Yone before he started killing everyone.

With two chakrams on his sides and with the power of his body physique, Vamporium Cerulean, He was killing Zen order elite and Zen order masters in one shot.

Naturally, what made it easier for Athan to kill them in one shot was Netherly frost that Primo imbued into his attacks.

After thirty minutes...the land around Youhan Tree was covered with various kinds of blood. Red, blue, green, etc.

A few hundred people of Youhan Tree were alive while all outsiders were killed. Those who tried to run were also chased and killed by Lady Fu's voidlings.

Nobody could escape from Bladeus and Blitzzer voidlings.

Athan arrived beside Yone and heard Primo's voice, 'Master...he is dead. His soul departed right after the second we arrived here and saw him.'

Athan nodded with a cold expression and overflowing killing intent. He waved his hands as abyssal darkness released from his hand and devoured Yone's body.

Afterward, he went towards Youhan Tree, where a big battle was happening between Lady Fu and Jeargen.

Seeing the chaotic atmosphere and the high level of battle, Athan thought, 'Evagon-realm...powerful indeed.'

At this time, the sky above Youhan Tree was divided by two; one side was the Evagon domain of Lady Fu, while the other side was the Evagon domain of Jeargen.

He had never seen the full power of Evagon-realm until now, 'With the current amount of abyssal darkness I possess and the power of that level, Evagon-realm can in less than two seconds.'

That means that all of his abyssal darkness can only block the attack of Evagon-realm for less than two seconds before it is consumed. At least, the level of power he felt in the battle between Lady Fu and Jeargen indicated that.

'But I don't need to block their attacks.' Athan thought as he shouted towards Lady Fu to stop the battle.

'Primo, ready to conjure a dome of Netherly frost around me in case that powerhouse attacks me.'

'Got it, Master.'

"Jeargen, stop!" Lady Fu shouted as she ceased her attacks but kept her defense.

Jeargen was confused. In reality, He didn't want to fight in the first place and just wanted to take Drizzly and return to his clan to know about his son's death. How did he die? Who killed him? was he really dead, or did Lady Fu fool him?

'She stopped battle because of that brat's shout. Who is he? From the aura he is exuding, he is just a damn ant at the peak of Orderic Catastrophe,' Jeargen thought as he also ceased attacking but kept his defense.

"Lady Fu! You better not play tricks and let me go. I don't want to waste time here right now!" Jeargen spoke with a dark face and grim voice.

Lady Fu indifferently looked at him as she deactivated her Evagon-domain and descended beside Athan.

Athan already saw Tronel and others lying inside a bubble of sort and a triangle dome defensive structure surrounded by six people from the Ursh'in clan.

He then turned to Lady Fu, who was beside him, and asked, "Who is he?"

"Jeargen, a powerhouse at Median Evagon-realm. He is from the Ursh'in clan and wanted to take Drizzly to his clan forcefully."

'So Drizzly is inside that triangle dome structure? Also, why do they want Drizzly? Hmm...both of them had dragon features which makes it a matter of bloodline...I see.'

At this time, Jeargen descended and waved his hand as he deactivated his order technique.

Drizzly was untrapped as her haggard appearance filled with tears appeared, soon she noticed Athan and cried out in a shocked manner before speaking worriedly, "Athan!? Y-you...Run! Don't stay here! H-he is very powerful! At Evagon-realm!"

Drizzly wiped her tears as she spoke, "Please...run away and stay alive for us."

"Annoying...," Jeargen muttered with a frown as he waved his hand and made Drizzly unconscious by suppressing her soul.

Looking at Drizzly's state and Tronel and others who were barely alive but...completely crippled, Athan clenched his teeth. 

Looking at Jeargen, he coldly uttered, "So it was because of you that people here got the courage to attack Youhan Tree."

"Brat! Who the hell do you think you are? A measly chaos wa-" One of the members of the Ursh'in clan spoke but was interrupted by Jeargen, who had a cold expression.

"Lady Fu, If you can peacefully let us go now without wasting our time to fight a needless battle where none of us will come victorious in a short time, I will owe you a favor."

Lady Fu didn't answer but looked at Athan.

Seeing that, Jeargen frowned, 'What's going on? Why is she asking that brat's opinion? As far as I know, Lady Fu doesn't have any relatives left in the world anymore since her clan was wiped out.. Even if there was one, she would be the most powerful existence of her clan and wouldn't stay under a brat with such low strength.'
