The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-349

On the ship's second floor, Athan, Celesti, Sen, Erina, Shish, and Arcued were sitting in a large room.

There were ten small square mattresses in this large room, and Athan and others were sitting on them.

Each mattress was just enough for one person to sit on and had considerable distance between each mattress in this large room.

Obviously, These mattresses were not simple, and they had the function of powering up the Maelstrom of chaos and calming the mind to aid them in training.

But Athan was not feeling any boost in his Chaos Grinder that was already powerful and unique enough that it could produce chaos force instantly, unlike normal people.

Currently, Beside Athan, who had closed his eyes and was training, Other people were talking.

Sen looked at Arcued with a doubtful expression and said, " I could understand that Athan became one of the winners, but how did you become one? Either you hid your power, or you are very lucky and intelligent. "

Hearing her, Other also cast doubtful glances at Arcued, who became sheepish and had an awkward smile on his face. He coughed and composed himself before making himself look imposing and said seriously, " You should not judge a book by its cover. "

" Humph, I am not judging a book by its cover but after reading its pages. Arcued Vanlis, I have looked into everyone who was in the top 30, and you-"

" Fine, fine, fine! " Arcued interrupted her and raised both of his hands, " I met Athan, and we worked together to survive the perilous situations. "

Hearing that, Celesti chimed in, " So you won thanks to Athan? "

Arcued became awkward again but nodded with an honest expression, " To be honest, That's true. I think Athan would have survived just fine without me, but it was thanks to him that I became one of the winners. "

" By the way, Why are you not disappointed about losing, Sister Sen? "

Shish curiously asked because he felt that, unlike his sister and Erica, who were clearly disappointed about not winning, Sen exuded a carefree aura and didn't seem sad at all.

Sen chuckled before saying, " Do you remember those six people besides the Envoy who were sitting on the floating chair at the tournament avenue? "

Others nodded as they remembered them.

" Those six people were organizers of the usual Penta Regional Tournament, and they have big backgrounds and are powerful themselves. Those six got special privileges from the Envoy as they can recommend any person to get the entry ticket, which is the black card. And...My master has close ties with one of them. "

After saying this, A black card appeared in her hand that was similar to what Athan and Aruced had.

Seeing it, Others nodded in understanding. Athan was also paying attention to the talk and thought, ' So that's why she didn't seem disappointed about losing. Instead, She was smiling when I looked at her. '

Athan then turned his attention back into his void region, where tons of things were put together.

He and Arcued killed quite a few participants because their tactics were assassinating, and he would always one-shot them with his abyssal darkness mixed with other powers.

Some people with sharp senses would instantly escape using the mark of the order.

Naturally, After the tournament was over and everyone came out from the chaos phenom dimension, The mark of the order disappeared.

Athan first counted his total low-grade chaos stones that amounted to 198,000, including the 100,000 he got from the tournament reward.

Not many people had low-grade chaos stones in their storage ring, and many times, He could not secure the storage ring since the abyssal darkness would also destroy it into nothingness.

Some of those who were hit by abyssal darkness would turn mad for a brief moment or run, so it was hard to retrieve the storage ring by cutting their hands.

A few dangerous situations included ambush on them by others. After all, Arcued's order technique of hiding was not full proof as some people had good detection ability.

Arcued was fatally injured, and he too was injured a few times after surviving those ambush, but the pills saved them.

' I'll separate pills, scrolls, and equipments in three different storage rings. From what I remember, there is a big auction in Gelamix town, and it would be the best place to sell these things. I can also take a look and see if there are some interesting things worth buying there. '

He felt that the things he gathered should get him a good amount of low-grade chaos stones, and he can use these to buy some things in the auction.

After arranging things inside his void region, He looked at the things which he had yet to store in any storage ring. Anyway, He was not planning to put them in storage in the future because they were special.

These special things were three fruits and nine weapons with their respective weapon order technique slates.

' I forgot to mention this to Tealery. Since she used a long knife, so she should be a sword user, right? '

Athan thought but then decided to ask her right now.

' Hmmm, She shouldn't be far away, so I should be able to contact her through her contact card. '

Athan opened his eyes and took a contact card before infusing chaos force in it.

Sen and others noticed this and became curious.

" Athan? "

A girly voice came from the card that others could hear since they became silent.

Athan ignored others and spoke, " What type of weapon do you prefer to use? "

" Why are you asking this? "

" Just tell me. "

" Hmmm...I prefer swords and bows. "

Athan slightly frowned hearing that and was just about to ask which one she prefers more but didn't ask after thinking about something. " Alright. Goodbye and see you at the Testing grounds in five years. "

After saying that, Athan stopped infusing chaos essence in the card and put it back before closing his eyes.

Seeing that Athan left them hanging with their curiosity and just closed his eyes, Sen and others were speechless.

" That's it, Athan? Who was she? "
