The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-168

After Athan recovered his geno energy which took a month, He finally started to check his new magic.

He didn't get an additional red ball orbiting around the unima core but the red ball from the second stone entered inside the first red ball as they fused.

He then used the Blood Magic: Vindication Covenant as strands of blood appeared all over his body and formed an armor that covered his chest to the back area.

" Hmm? It doesn't seem my strength increased or anything, but I do feel that my body toughened a bit. " Athan muttered as he didn't manage to learn about the true ability of this magic, Vindication Covenant, just by using it.

He thought for a moment and called Skylord.

" Attack me with your full power. " He felt that since magic blood armor toughened his body, Aka, his defensive stats, then this magic was likely defensive.

Skylord didn't say anything this time and directly attacked Athan with full power.

The moment attack hit magic blood armor; It suddenly shined a bit as Athan once again felt his blood boiling. This time, He hasn't even moved a single step and stood like a shield in one place. Athan couldn't even feel the slightest strain on his body despite being hit with such a powerful attack.

Blood red strands appeared all over his body after the attack finished, and he felt that his physical power was overflowing.

" Could it be?..." Athan suddenly thought of something and used Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant.

After the two gauntlets appeared on his hand, Athan felt like he could let out the overflowing power within his body as he left the special space and appeared outside before punching in the air.

*CRACK...BOOM*

Space literally bent as the tremendous power of his punch cracked the air and atmosphere itself.

" Huuuu...." Athan took a deep breath while his eyes contained excitement and returned to the special space.

Athan understood the ability of Vindication Covenant and Slaughter Covenant even more as he felt thrilled and thought, ' HELL YEAH...I am finally done running away from others, even if there are multiple people. '

He felt that he could clash with others and even have a chance to beat them without using the geno frame or his geno skills as just with his horned crown and other means; he could definitely kill the opponent one versus one.

He then continued to check and found that he could control this new magic not just to cover his chest and back but his whole body.

After doing many experiments, he left the special space to find more monsters, there was also mention of treasures, but he has yet to encounter one.

' Time to go for hunting. '

But right after he left the special space, he saw a human race woman in front of him. She had light blue wavy hair and a slim body with a round face with a small black birthmark on her left cheek.

' Looks like she appeared here due to shockwaves and sound of the punch that I threw. '

Natalie was shocked and went full alert when she saw Athan appearing out of thin air, twenty meters away from her, ' What's going on? I didn't even sense anything, not even the slightest bit of energy or rule power. '

" What do you plan to do? "

Athan looked at her and asked plainly because if she intended to fight him, he would definitely like to fight with her without using his geno skills and geno frame and test how well he fares.

Natalie was still caution of Athan as she asked, " What do you mean? "

" I mean do you want to fight with me or run away? "

Natalie frowned and said, " Seeing that we are both humans, can't we work together? "

" Nope! You can forget about working together. I am giving you a choice because you are human and get no benefits after killing you. " Athan replied with a smile.

Natalie felt cold inside, but she sensed something strange about Athan, ' Why I can't sense rule powers from him? Whatever the case, I don't want to fight him. He appeared out of nowhere, and I couldn't even sense him, so he surely has a way to hide his whole presence. '

" I'll be leaving. " Saying this, Natalie left as she space jumped and teleported using her full power.

Athan continued to move forward for a chance encounter, and after a few hours, He felt shockwaves from afar and sped up, ' Looks like people are fighting the monster, guess I should help them by killing the monster. '

He grinned as he sped up and soon saw a devastating scene of deformed and damaged lands as three people were reining attacks on the giant lizard-like monster that had three heads and three tails.

The monster had a massive length of 700 meters, and it was currently standing on with its rear two legs, so it also appeared tall.

*Gectoke....gectoke...gectoke**

It produced a strange sound from its giant mouth as three tongues shot out suddenly, which caught the three beings, one grakil race, one brazol race, and one dision race off guard.

The grakil race man and dision race man were fine, but The brazol race man was already injured and failed to dodge the tongue as it wrapped around him instantly before the tongue retracted back into the giant lizard's monster's right side mouth.

Even Athan was stunned at how fast the tongue of this lizard shot out and retracted, ' Looks like that brazol race man is done for. '

Athan didn't hide his presence or anything this time, so the two beings who barely dodged the deadly tongue of the lizard sensed him as the dision race man called out, " This friend, Let's kill this monster together. We can share the reward based on contribution. "

Athan smiled and arrived near them as he used both of the Blood Magic and wore the purple crown.

" Sure. " Saying this, Athan zoomed towards the lizard and punched its right head.

*Boom...*

*Gectoke....gectoke...gectoke*

Right after Athan hit its head, He felt danger and instantly retreated. He also frowned because the punch he threw with his full power didn't damage that monster seriously, ' Just how hard it is? '

He finally knew the strength of these monsters as he thought, ' No wonder many people struggle to kill it. '

The only reason he could kill those two monsters easily was due to the geno technique.

Athan dodged incoming attacks of the giant lizard that shoot dark green lasers from its mouth. His current strength could easily let him dodge the attacks of this lizard. The grakil race man and dision race also didn't have much trouble dodging the attacks, but their attacks didn't inflict much damage to the lizard monster.

" We have to find its weak spot and attack there. " Said the dision race man as he conjured several spinning dark blades that cut through space and attacked the eyes of the lizard monster.

Those spinning dark blades were powerful as Athan sensed several offensive powers from it, but they failed to damage the lids of the monster's eyes.

At this time, Athan said, " I'll create a weak spot, and when I do that. Use your most powerful attacks at that place. "

He didn't want to waste too much of his time and geno energy, so he opted for the plan that he just thought of a few moments ago.
