The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-20

A month later...

Athan had cleared 90% of the impurity and to clear the rest of the 10% he only needs 3-4 days as with increased Psychic Energy, The speed of clearing grey impurity also increases, But his recovery time also increased to 5 hours.

Athan just woke up after another session of clearing grey impurity and thought, ' Man, that girl Tiana never came to ask for help after that, nevermind, I'll first clear all the grey impurities. '

...

After 3 days...

Athan is currently erasing the last bit of grey impurity.

Inside his psychic Realm, A Big Eraser was clearing the last bit of grey impurity at a corner in his psychic realm.

*scrashy scrashy*

*scrashy scrashy*

*scrashy scrashy*

' Phew, finally done. '

But just after a few seconds, something happened, his Psychic Energy started to recover at a super-fast speed and even went past his limits as his overall psychic energy increased by 20%.

Don't think this 20% is a low amount. Athan's psychic energy reserve is now very enormous, and 20% of that is absolutely not a small amount.

Athan felt very refreshed after this mysterious phenomenon as he thought, ' I think the reason for this phenomenon must be because I cleared all grey impurities so I got some rewards from myself hahaha. '

Indeed, After Everyone clears all grey impurities inside their psychic realm, They recover their psychic energy immediately and after that, they get 20% extra energy, It's like you are living life bound by chains around your hands and legs and after a year when chains are removed, you find that your strength is increased on top of recovering your previous strength.

Athan then suddenly thought, ' Now let's see if the whirlpool still sucks all of my psychic energy or not. '

Athan then slowly arrived near the black whirlpool bringing with him a little amount of psychic energy with his consciousness.

Just as he entered the area of the black whirlpool, The little amount of psychic energy got instantly sucked into the whirlpool along with all of his psychic energy, He tried to control his psychic energy but it was of no use, as after 3 seconds, all of his psychic energy got drained.

Athan came out of his psychic realm as his face twitched from speechlessness brought upon by the black whirlpool.

After a while, he closed his eye after saying a word.

" F**K..."

...

...

After who knows how long, Athan opened his eyes and looked at the clock before thinking, ' Damn, it took me a bit more than 6 hours to recover all of my psychic energy, I need to shorten this time...'

*knock knock*

Athan's inner talk was cut short by the knocking sound as he stood up to open the door.

*knock knock*

" Who could be coming to me in this early morning, it's not even 5 AM. "

Athan arrived at the door before opening it, Seeing the person outside Athan was surprised, " Oh it's y..." his dialog was cut short as the person came inside hurriedly and closed the door.

" Tiana, Wh..." Athan once again got cut short.

" You didn't even tell me which one is your house in Peaceful Garden, 10 days ago I asked Sister Ruzi and when I described to her your appearance and my situation, she kindly told me your address, Glad I asked about your address earlier...phew " After Tiana finished speaking she sighed a relief, but then she felt slightly scared.

Athan looked at her confusedly and then asked, " Didn't you complained about him to the authorities? "

Tiana calmed herself down internally before she helplessly nodded and said, " I did complain and his only punishment was being grounded for a month, After a month he would be free to do whatever he wants to, This is how it works since his grandfather is Core elder, of course, if he does something to me then he would receive proper punishment but, what's the justice in there after that? He will be punished more severely but he will regain his freedom soon or later."

Tiana then took a deep breath before continuing, " That's why I want your help, Since you told me you will help me, you..." Tiana hesitated a bit before saying, " You will help me just like you said right? "

Athan hesitated a bit while thinking, ' I did say that...But. I should be careful from now on. Just because I am strong and getting strong faster doesn't mean that I should be careless. '

Tiana saw Athan's hesitation and felt sad, ' Looks like I shouldn't have come to bother him. Who would want trouble in their life? but this person is the only one who can help me since he is living in this area where only close relatives of core elders are supposed to live '

She thought a lot and at first, didn't want to bother the person who helped her. But she was informed that Helin was looking for her and felt scared so she could only come here with hopes. She knew some people here but none of them could help her and she would put them in danger but Athan was different since he was living in this peaceful garden where only core elders and their relative lives.

Athan saw her sad face and finally about a simple plan and said to Tiana, "I said I will help you, so I will definitely help you, But we need a plan since I can't keep beating him. All you have to do is to hide from him, I am being logical here, You can come to hide here whenever you want, This house has 3 rooms anyway, so what do you think? "

Tiana thought for a moment before her brows creased together with a frown and said in a worried tone, "Just before I came here Siser Ruzi informed me with her Psychic Talisman that Helin was coming towards my house, so I don't have anything with me but I can't go back yet because that bastard Helin must be looking for me right now. "

Athan nodded before looking in her eyes and said while patting his chest, " Don't worry, Just hide here, for now. Today when it's deep into the night, I'll accompany you to your house to pick up your things like clothes and other things, then you can stay here however long you want. "

Tiana blushed but then she spoke in a tough manner, " You...Just because I'm staying here doesn't mean that there is anything between us, Don't pry into my privacy. I am here because you said you will help me. "

Athan helplessly shook his head and raised both of his hands while saying, " There is a separate bathroom in each room, so you don't have to worry about it. "

" Oh..." Tiana just oh-ed and asked, " So which one is my room? "

Athan pointed at the two rooms and said, " You can choose one between those two rooms. "

Tiana checked both rooms one by one before choosing the room she checked first, After going inside she locked the door and thought, ' That guy will not force himself on me right? He looks strong enough to do so...no no, I don't think he will do something like that, He doesn't seem like a pervert and I can see sincerity when he looks into my eyes, but he still got that wildness to him...'

Suddenly she thought of an important thing as her face changed into one laced with worry, ' i...actually still don't know his name and I also never asked...He will not think that I'm just using him because of his words right? no, after I get stronger I will definitely repay him this favor, I will make this clear later. '

She then laid on the bed and thought, ' But I can't help but blush whenever I think of him, I wonder what is this, it can't be love, he just met me 2 times in total, hmmm.'

She thought for a while before coming to a conclusion, ' it must be an attraction, I'm just attracted to him after what he did to me and how he seems sincere, yep that it, Its just attraction, it will go away after I stay around him for a few days. '

...

...

Meanwhile....

Athan was currently inside his Psychic Realm as he was deciding whether he should go into the black whirlpool with this consciousness or not.

inside the Psychic Realm...

Athan was currently looking at the black whirlpool as he thought, ' When I look at the black whirlpool, it feels like I'm looking at myself, so it's definitely a part of my being, with that as basic, The black whirlpool shouldn't bring harm to me. '

After thinking about sometime, Athan finally decided to approach the black whirlpool.

His consciousness slowly arrived at the boundary of the black whirlpool...

When he entered into the boundary, he thought that he would receive the suction force of the black whirlpool, but he didn't feel anything and successfully entered the black whirlpool.

It was constantly spinning, well that's why Athan named it Black whirlpool, and the spinning speed and suction force and digestion power would increase when Athan gave it psychic energy, NO, more like when it sucked all psychic energy of Athan.

He then went deeper into the black whirlpool, The black thing that was spinning constantly was ethereal, he could not feel it with his consciousness.

He went deeper and suddenly hit himself, which means his consciousness got blocked, ' This...I can't move forward, it looks like I hit a wall, wait no, more like I hit a door, there should be something past this door. '

Athan then tried to forcefully push forward but it was of no use, it was not budging at all, Whatever that wall or door that he hit, it was not budging.

' Maybe I should come here while the black whirlpool is absorbing an element, that way i can see how this thing works. '

Athan then got ready because it was finally time to form his elemental seas, one for Fire element and one for Thunder element.
