The Tale of the Void Emperor

"First, the red talisman can defend a casual profound technique from another Fear-level powerhouse, and even if this red talisman can't block such attack, it will still teleport us one million kilometers away," Komin said.

"Interesting," Avelia said as she raised her eyebrows. This was extremely valuable.

"One more thing, the defensive talisman will counter-attack upon detecting that the attack is from Arbiter-plane powerhouse," Komin said with a grin.

"Now, the purple talisman, it also has two uses," Cromwer pointed at the offensive talisman and spoke, "first, you can use it to attack, but it will be useless against Fear-level powerhouses. Second, If you don't want to attack, you can use it to gain a mystical buff that will allow you to have a speed equal to that Fear-level powerhouse for five minutes."

"So I assume that Avelia and I will also get those two talismans, right?" Athan said with a faint smile.

"Yep. We are precisely going to receive them now and also meet Lord Raizor," Lienia nodded with a grin.

"Alright, let's go," Athan said as he stood up. Avelia also stood up.

Komin nodded as he took out a white-silver crystal and activated it by infusing a bit of Outrious Potency.

After two seconds, Komin threw the crystal two meters away as a portal opened there.

"Let's go," Komin said as he entered the portal.

Athan, and others also entered inside one by one.

...

Athan, Avelia, Komin, Lienia, and Cromwer appeared inside a huge dark-red palace with golden chandeliers glowing the whole place up.

There were exquisite demonic-type designs and carvings on the walls of this palace hall.

There was a giant table in the middle of this hall with several seats.

"Let's sit here. Lord Raizor will soon arrive here," Komin said as he walked towards the table and sat down on a comfortable chair.

Athan and Avelia sat down as well, along with Lienia and Cromwer.

After two seconds, everyone felt a mysterious presence filling the air as a man with a black cloak appeared at the other end of this giant table.

"Welcome to my Rycanvenial Castle," Raizor said with a smile as he snapped his finger as two dark red portals opened, and several vampires arrived with food plates.

They put the food plates on the table where Athan and others were seated before leaving.

Athan looked at Raizor as he had elf ears and two pure white vampire fangs. He didn't know that the lord Raizor would be a vampire.

"You must be Athan and Avelia," Raizor said with a faint noble smile, "I would like to witness the show of your strength, but before that, we shall have some good dinner."

As such, everyone started eating the delicious food on the table.

"Lord Raizor, how many spots are left in the Supremacy supporter quota?" Komin asked with doubt as he felt that there was some twist to this case.

"Three slots were empty two months ago, but now there are three candidates from my Arbiter-plane supporters. Naturally, I am also curious about Athan and Avelia's powers after reading your message," Raizor said with a smile.

"So...," Lienia spoke, but her word trailed off.

"So, there will be a battle," Raizor said as he took a sip from a red wine glass, "winners will take the spot. After all, I want capable supporters, and I would also like to have capable people managing the territories."

"Lord Raizor, you will not be disappointed," Cromwer said with confidence, "whoever those three are, they won't be able to beat Athan and Avelia."

"Is it so?"

Suddenly five people entered through the door as they arrived in the hall and walked towards the table.

"Sit and start dining," Raizor said as he gestured for them to sit at the giant table.

Two of them were Arbiter-plane powerhouses, while the other three were in the Supremacy plane like Athan and others.

"Cromwer, you didn't forget that you barely managed to defeat Rolaxin, right?" Akin spoke. Akin was second-in-command in the team of four Arbiter-plane supporters of Raizor.

"Hahaha, surely you jest," Cromwer said with a smile, "I was merely holding back so that Rolaxin-Kun could last longer against me."

"Humph," Rolaxin snorted.

Rolaxin was a bulky guy with a military haircut and thick purple hair. He also wore a tight outfit with fancy leather armor, showing his explosive body.

"The battle will decide the spots," Nia spoke as she gracefully ate," don't quarrel while eating."

Nia was the Arbiter plane powerhouse. She was a slim but busty woman with a long single maroon ponytail. She wore a ninja-like outfit and a mask that covered her mouth. Her thighs and long legs were visible, making her look very sexy with her eagle eyes with golden irises.

On the other hand, the other two Supremacy powerhouses besides Rolaxin were women. One of them seemed to be the relative of Nia as she also wore a similar outfit and style.

Another woman wore a multi-layered elegant dress.

"No meaning quarreling now, but we can do introductions," Raizor said with a smile.

After saying that, he looked at Rolaxin.

Rolaxin nodded as he looked at Athan and Avelia, "Rolaxin Korkan, not pleased to meet you as you have appeared to take my spot."

"Cornella Mave," the elegant woman said with a gentle smile, "I look forward to our battle."

"Katagiri Enox," Ninja-girl said with a plain nod before she turned to the food on her plate.

"Athan Void," Athan also plainly spoke his name and indifferently smiled, "It's your bad luck that I have appeared."

"Avelia Void," Avelia said with a smile, "Just don't be scared while fighting me, or it won't be fun."

Afterward, Raizor said, "for your information, Katagiri's spot is confirmed. So, Athan and Avelia will fight with Cornella and Rolaxin for the remaining two spots."

"Now, let us fill our stomachs and head to the battleground," Raizor said with a grin.

...

After a while, everyone finished eating and followed Raizor as they left the palace hall.
