The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 721: Contracting Oblivion

"Move away, you donut!" 

A shout came from the carriage as it reached 100 meters across Athan; in the next one and a half-second, it would reach Athan.

Athan had prepared the rough execution of his new ability, known as Contracting Oblivion. In this ability's model that he visualized and ran the simulations in his mind to construct it, he could expend all of a single Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy in it so it wouldn't damage his body as well.

This ability could be used to full potential in his normal body form, so he didn't need to activate any of his void frames as well.

A dark red aura covered Athan's body while his right hand had grey patterns on them.

All of the Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy was poured into the aura on his body, and it was connected to his right hand.

"If you don't want to get out of the way, then die!" A man with light orange and silver robe spoke with a sneer. 

The two middle-aged men, who seemed to be the protector of those seven people(four young men and three young women) in the carriage, didn't say anything and just watched indifferently. 

They saw Athan covered in some kind of aura and seemed to have the intention of attacking them. As such, they extended their soul sense towards Athan to gauge his strength to check whether they were going to hit a steel plate or a paper tiger.

A second later, their expression changed as they looked at each other, and Athan also waved his right hand in a claw motion from top right to bottom left towards the carriage when it was still ten meters away from him.

A giant black claw with red patterns materialized, and there was a gray orb in the center of that claw's palm. The claw was not big enough to cover the entire carriage and the two giant beasts as it was at most 50 meters big, while the beasts were five hundred meters big.

However, the grey orb in that claw was mystical. It first shot towards the carriage from the side and passed through it before creating a horrifying gravitational pull in a fifty-meter radius that contracted the beasts and carriage. They were literally being folded into space as the carriage came to a sudden halt and got forcefully pulled into that grey zone.

Several lights shot out from the carriage as the two middle-aged men hurriedly came out from the carriage with seven other people before it was too late.

'Not fast enough, I guess,' Athan thought.

However, the surrounding people and those people who were in the carriage were terrified to see the result of Athan's attack.

The two five hundred meters giant lion beasts with wings were contracted into fifty meters zone as they screamed in terror while the carriage was also folded into space along with them. Right after that, the fifty meters big dark-red claw swept upon them and entirely obliterated both cosmic-disaster beasts and the carriage with not a single trace of them leaving in this world.

The claw had the effects of entirely pouring all of its energy into that grey zone and it wouldn't leave outside of that zone, so all of its attack power was used to obliterate the things that got stuck into that zone entirely.

That grey zone was created by voidpulse, and the power he comprehended about it was through his imagination after seeing a similar attack in the tower by a person. Naturally, that person's attack was not as magnificent as the one that Athan developed. 

Athan used Primo's space matrix power that he had somewhat comprehended into creating that grey zone as well. It could fold the space of the targets and make them contract to fit into them forcefully no matter how big they were.

Once inside, it's impossible to get out, and in the next half-second, the claw filled with concentrated Abyssal Blood Crystal's power would wipe them out of existence. That's why it was so terrifying.

Hense, Athan named this ability as Contracting Oblivion.

Seeing no trash of their carriage nor those powerful beasts, those seven people were truly scared, while those two middle-aged men had somber expressions on their faces.

'I still can't sense anything about him. However, since he managed to destroy those two beasts so easily, he must be a Legendary expert.'

They looked at Athan, but Athan was looking at the spot where he made the attack and was thinking about the way to make it better.

It was silence. Nobody spoke and disturbed him seeing his thoughtful expression.

Those seven people had red faces, but those two middle-aged men spoke to them to let them handle the situation. 

They must not make this unknown person angry even if they got a powerful background because their background might not work here.

After all, that carriage had their Empire's flag as well, and this unknown person still dared to attack them.

After a minute, Athan nodded to himself and turned around since he had finished his analysis and would improve this ability later.

Seeing Athan simply turning around and leaving, the man with an orange-silver robe shouted, "stop! You think you can get away after attacking us?"

Hearing him, the surrounding people, and even his sister and other friends looked at him with speechless expressions.

The two middle-aged men flashed helpless expressions on their faces and looked at the idiot, 'Damn it! He is spoiled too much by his father and mother. That a-s hole is going to get us killed one day or today.'

'Shit! He stopped.'

Athan paused and turned back with an amusing expression. However, before he could speak, those two middle-aged men hurriedly spoke.

"Please don't mind this person. He is braindead and doesn't know much 

….

"How comical."

"Indeed. Well, it was a good short show. Now let's enter."

"I wonder who that person was? Such a powerful person shouldn't be unknown."
