The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-147

They waited until the dragon left before coming out. But they could feel energy waves as if a battle was ongoing in the direction where the dragon left.

" Let's go and check it out. I will try to hide our presence. " Avelia spoke as she summoned a jellyfish-like creature that was transparent but had starry white patterns like veins which looked a bit scary.

She didn't activate the domain but used the ability of her new SSS rank concept as a wavy veil covered them, and they disappeared. They became completely transparent. This veil also provided defense.

Athan touched the veil and stretched his hand outside, and if someone were to see this from afar, they would see a half arm floating in the air.

He pulled his hand back into the veil and walked towards others, " Let's move in the same direction as the dragon went. I think someone is battling against that dragon. "

...

After flying for a few minutes, they felt waves of shockwaves and saw that a fat bronze person was beating the dragon. His bronze body had black patterns, and those patterns were shining.

He was throwing punches and kicks at the dragon, which produced a phantom projectile of his moves and hit the dragon.

*Roarrrrrr....*

The dragon roared as a rock-grey breath left its mouth towards the fat person.

Branzol race is one of the top five great races, and they have solid but round fat bodies.

Seeing the breath attack coming at him, The Branzol race member snorted and clamped his hands together before stretching them.

A dark bronze field seemed to have produced from his hand, but just when the breath was going to hit the dark bronze field, Two portals appeared. One portal appeared in front of the dark bronze field, which devoured the powerful stone grey breathing attack, and the second portal appeared behind the Branzol race member.

The results were devastating as the Branzol race member was screwed from behind because the two portals were connected. The stone grey breathing attack went into the first portal and came out from the second portal behind the Branzol race member.

The stone grey breathing attack of the dragon was no joke as it actually turned the back of the Branzol race member into stone before breaking apart and injuring him.

The Branzol race member roared in pain before hurriedly using his rule domain to defend himself as his body started shining dark light, and also his body started to cover with dark bronze armor that was shining.

" Fuck!!!...." Lerise cursed as he looked at his left side with a wrathful expression.

A small and slim dark blue being with a silver horn on his forehead and holes in his palms and long fingers appeared out of nowhere. It felt like he materialized from nothing, but he was hiding using his dimension technique.

But his gaze first swept towards the place Athan and others were hiding.

The dragon was stupid, so even though it saw another one appearing, it didn't run despite its cracking and the injured body but continued to attack Lerise.

Lerise turned his attention back to the dragon as he gathered some kind of energy before a giant dark bronze axe that was five times his size appeared in his hands and dashed towards the dragon.

On the other hand, the Dision race member was on guard because of the group of Athan.

Athan and others also noticed the member of the Dision race looking at them.

" What should we do? If we are slightly careless, then we would die. " Qerin said worriedly.

" Let's go back into the special space first. "

Athan took others inside the special space, which caused a confused expression to appear on the Dision race member, ' I could feel space energy there, so one or more people were hiding there, but just now I couldn't sense anything. Even if they teleported, There should be residual space energy or some others energies, but now, I can't feel even a speck of energy. '

One more thing he was puzzled about was that the energy he felt was the origin energy which is only used by lower plane existences, " Could it be they brought Origin elemental crystals here? " He muttered this but shook his head as doing so would not benefit them in any way.

*Roarrr...*

A weak dragon's roar resounded before a loud thud.

The Dision race member saw that both of the dragon's wings were cut off, and half of it was body was mangled as its whole body was covered in blood. He revealed displeased expression and muttered, " damn bastard, He did it deliberately. "

" Leave half of its core and body. "

Hearing this, Lerise didn't show his anger as he knew that this would happen. That's why he mangled the dragon's body.

Lerise was injured pretty badly by the dragon's breath due to this Dision race member's interference, and there was no point in fighting against him as it will only worsen his situation.

Just then, the mountain started to tremble as large cracks appeared before revealing a deep gorge.

Lerise stored half of the dragon's body and core inside his inner space and let the other half fall into the deep gorge before flying upward.

Seeing this, Dision race member snorted as he waved his left hand, and his silver horn started shining before a portal appeared below the falling dragon's remains.

The remains fell inside the portal before they disappeared. He then didn't spare a glance at Lerise and dived into the deep gorge.

Lerise, on the other hand, started healing his injuries.

...

Athan and others saw everything from inside the special space.

Everyone concluded that the deep gorge was an entrance to a trial.

" We will go inside after that guy enters. If he doesn't enter even after healing his wounds, then we also won't as it means that the deep gorge is not an entrance to a trial. "

Athan suggested, and nobody had an objection to this.

After seventeen hours, The Branzol race member stood up and flew towards the deep gorge before diving inside.

Seeing this, Athan left the special space and started moving towards the deep gorge while being invisible as Avelia used her concept ability on him.

Athan dived down, and he could see the ground, but halfway through, he felt like the same sensation as when he entered the cave door as he arrived in a different space.

The area was just simple ground with few plants and trees.

[ Welcome to the trial of Dandreid ]

[ Lower energy being detected. ]

[ Adjusting the trial...]

...

Athan had taken others out from the special space while the trial was adjusting.

" Looks like we will be able to win some rewards from this trial. " Mike grinned and said when he heard the adjusting trial announcement.

" Who knows? These trials are smart, and all trials are kind of different. " Just as Athan finish speaking, The trial was also done adjusting.

[ Adjustment completed. ]

Everyone's powers were sealed after this announcement.

[ The trial will start after the thirty slots are filled. seven more participant needs to join before the trial starts. ]

Athan and others waited for a few hours before all the slots were filled, and a blue screen appeared in front of everyone.

[ Everyone will be randomly given a grade 1 magic beast pet; you will have to train your pet and command them to do battle. Trialists can not fight directly or indirectly. They can only command their pets.]

[ You are only allowed to leave this trial after winning three times, but if you lose three times first before winning three times, Your life will be forfeited. ]

[ Every three wins will grant you a new pet and an evolution stone that can evolve your pet. Those who can win 9 times will be given a grand reward. ]

[ After 10 minutes, Everyone will be matched against a random trialist, and you have to use your wits and your surroundings to defeat your opponent. ]

Everyone saw white sparks in front of them before they turned into magic beasts.

The magic beasts came forward towards their master.

Athan could see the status of his magical beast.

" Why my magical beast has no element? " Avelia asked with confusion.

Others looked at the tiger that looked menacing and powerful.

" But you got three skills, and it looks like a great beast if you utilize it well. " Athan said after looking at the skills.

Avelia nodded and said with a smile, " Yep. And I guess that If I can win three matches and use evolution stone on this tiger, It will awaken its element. "

Qerin looked at her magical beast and said, " My magical beast is also without element. "
