The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-61

A crisp and clear voice rang out from his opponent's mouth " Hello there, My name is Revera and I permit you to make a move first. "

Athan was startled to hear the voice of his opponent and thought, ' So my opponent is a girl...It totally didn't look like the case because of the costume. '

Revera wore samurai-type armor and none of her body parts was visible, After saying that she was going to let Athan make the first move, Several spells formed around her.

A Pair of Golden boots with green wings appeared on her feet, A dark blue sword appeared in her hand before it was covered with dark green energy and a golden-colored armor-shaped spell covered her body before another pair of green wings appeared behind her back.

" Make your move! "

Athan snapped out of his thought as he looked at those support spells and spoke with a smile, " I hope you don't regret your decision. "

Hearing Athan's words, Revera spoke in an indifferent tone, " if I lose then so be it, but I won't regret my decision. I am just here to train myself and see if there are worthy opponents out there. "

" Now make your move. " Saying this, She sheathed her sword.

Athan could feel confidence and resolve in her voice and his expression also turned serious as he nodded, " Alright. "

He formed a powerful <Drilling Lance> and threw it towards his opponent with his full power.

*Swrooom*

The <Drilling Lance> arrived in front of Revera in a second but she stood there and her hands moved as the sword came out from her sheath in less than a second and slashed Athan's <Drilling Lance> into 3 pieces.

Athan narrowed his eyes at that scene and thought, ' That's powerful, The first slash was when she drew her sword and second when she slashed down, Both actions were done in a second which broke my <Drilling Lance> into three pieces. Her energy was also being supplied to the sword as it also forcefully dissipated the energies of my <Drilling Lance> '

Revera didn't sheath her sword and held it in a stance before she spoke, " Fire, Earth and Air intent at Intermediate level, Not bad but not enough to defeat me. "

After speaking, The wings on her back flapped along with the wings on her boots as she....dashed toward Athan at a very fast speed.

She did not fly but with one forceful step dash of her feet, she shot at unbelievable speed towards Athan with the use of the wings on her back and boots.

Athan had already formed <Lightning Arial> wings behind his back so the move he saw her dash forward, He flew upward.

But at this time, Revera who was a dozen meters away from him waved her sword in a slashing manner as A Dark Green energy slash shot towards Athan at a very fast speed.

*Swisss*

Athan hurriedly formed <Light Barrier> around him to block the attack.

*Crackkkkk...Clankk*

The barrier got destroyed and the slash hit Athan's shoulder, leaving behind a 15-centimeter bloody gash.

Fortunately, the <Light Barrier> dissipated most of the energy of the slash during the blocking process otherwise, he would have died then and there.

Athan was not even distracted by the wound as he hurriedly cast two spells around him. First, he covered himself in <Light Barrier> and formed <Dark Barrier> on top of it.

Revera didn't waste even a single second as she arrived in front of Athan at a very fast speed before directly slashing at the <Dark Barrier> with her sword, breaking it into pieces before sending another sword slash projectile forward.

His <Light Barrier> once again got destroyed wounding him in his abdomen this time.

' What the heck, Why are her attacks so powerful? I can feel she has comprehended several Intents at Intermediate Level like Dark, Water, Air, and Light. But my spells can't block her attacks and her casting speed is just as fast as mine. '

He didn't stop his actions while thinking as he formed <Fire Tornado> with high energy.

Seeing <Fire Tornado>, Revera snorted in disdain and spoke, " Are you, idiot? Do you think a spell-like this will damage me at all? "

After saying this, She just stood there and waited for <Fire Tornado> to hit her.

*whoooosssss*

Athan poured more energy into the <Fire Tornado> hearing her word but Revera noticed that and shook her head, seemingly disappointed at his action.

The tornado arrived in front of her and finally hit her but she didn't even move under the raging fire.

After she was fully enclosed in the <Fire Tornado> she spoke, " I am surprised that you have reached Intermediate Level of Intent in many elements such as Air, Lightning, Fire, Earth, Light, and Dark...Among to basic elements you just don't have Water and wood and space element...."

Her voice cut off there as Athan formed <Lightning Vines> and a simple water ball.

He was deliberately showing this to her because he felt like he could learn from her something, and he also had Space Element but he didn't know any spell of that element and it looked difficult to make one right away as he had not fully understood how that element works so he didn't show it, Furthermore, he had not comprehended even elementary intent of Space element so he didn't bother with it for now.

Seeing the two more spells Athan formed and feeling the intent within them, Revera was surprised but she shook her head and continued, " Looks like you have reached intermediate Level in wood and Water too but..."

Pausing here, She waved her sword in a swirling motion as the energy on her sword changed into Dark blue from Dark green and produced a ring of Dark Blue energy which forcefully dissipated the <Fire Tornado>.

After that, She looked at Athan and continued speaking in a plain tone, " But...your spells are weak, They don't have much depth in them, They are Shallow. "

She pointed her sword at Athan and spoke, " You also don't seem to know other ways to fight with elemental energies, you must be from a relatively backward place. "

Not taking offense at her word, Athan nodded with a smile and said, " Indeed, I seem to be from a backward place which I found out recently. "

" Do you see that my sword is always coated with energies? That's Active Flowing Energy State, But the spells to use in this state are hard to learn and grasp, Furthermore you need a lot of practice. You can also use your body as a medium instead of a sword like me if you know powerful Martial Arts. "

Athan was indeed wondering about that since the beginning, He could also very faintly sense that energy was moving in inside her body constantly and then to the sword.

Since he was curious about it, He asked Revera hoping to get an answer, " I could faintly sense the energy moving inside your body...."

Before he could continue, Revera interrupted him, " That's the pattern of spell forming in Active Energy State, Anyway that's a deep knowledge and if you want to learn spells of Active Energy state then you need to unlock Page 3 of point store and practice in Spell Testing Hall. "

She then dashed towards Athan while saying, " Things will get a lot more complicated in Genesis Conceptual Plane, and it's just a startling line to become a truly powerful being, If you want to reach there then work hard. But for now, You are not an opponent of me and many others. "

Athan backed off with his <Lighting Arial Wings> and formed defensive spells around him But Revera's speed and power seem to have increased a notch more as she aggressively attacked him which increased his wounds while none of his spells managed to damage her.

' Holy Crap...I can't do shit to her while she is beating me up. ' Athan was seriously feeling down now, In the last few minutes, All he could do was to barely dodge and form defensive which proved to be useless and he got more wounds.

Revera suddenly stopped and spoke, " I'll use my most powerful Attack now, Be prepared. " Saying this, She put the sword into her sheath and stood there in a stance as Dark and green-colored energy slowly covered her entire body.

After her body was covered by energy, Those energies slowly separated from her and gathered on top of her forming a crow-like bird that was covered in chains.

When the crow-Like bird covered in chains formed on top of her head, Revera slowly unsheathed her sword while speaking, " I don't usually use this spell in normal fights because it's not meant to be used when one is in Energy Plane because I need time to form this spell and opponent won't give me that chance, But I can feel that you open-minded and want more knowledge so I'll broaden your horizon a bit. "

Her sword for fully unsheathed by now as it pointed towards Athan, " I appreciate you not attacking me while I was forming the spell and I hope the next time we meet, you would learn some powerful spells of Active Energy Flowing State. "

" This spell is called Binding Burial. "

She then waved her sword in horizon motion as the chains from the crow shot towards Athan with a speed that he could not dodge as he was bound by it and then she waved her sword again which sent the bird to shot towards him.

' Shit...' Athan could not help but curse seeing the green chains binding him powerfully, not allowing him to move, and the bird that arrived in front of him before it also covered him with its wings.

*Boooom*

If it was real-world, Then there would be black pieces of Athan's body left everywhere, but right now he simply dissipated into white light after death.
