The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-98

Athan was focusing on training more than ever.

After a month, He seemed to have entered a profound state of comprehension.

His Mystic Force was being consumed automatically while he was comprehending intents.

Avelia noticed that Athan was in an unnatural state and got worried, " What is happening? He seems to be really pushing himself. "

She walked towards Athan and sat in front of him before stretching her hand to check the forehead of Athan.

Her expression changed into an intense worry as soon as she touched his forehead because it was just too hot.

" What's going on?!! "

Avelia used water energy to make the surroundings of Athan cool, but it was not working as the heat was being produced from his brain.

Athan couldn't notice his own dire situation and His comprehension speed also seemed to have increased.

Avelia was tried various ways to wake up Athan and even moved him, but nothing worked as he just stayed in that state.

His forehead was getting hotter, and she was worried that something might happen to Athan if this continued.

" Damn it! Athan should have a backer in this academy, so why hasn't he noticed anything yet? so careless! "

She moved Athan into a tub of cold water, hoping that it could somewhat help him.

Athan's Mystic Force was almost depleted at this moment, and in a minute, he was out of mystic force.

Right after that, His eyes shot open as his consciousness started to return from the deep comprehension state.

His eyes were bloodshot when he opened them, and in a fraction of a second, Intense pain assaulted his brain and consciousness as he directly fainted.

" Athan! " Avelia shouted as she hurridly supported him and got him out of the water tub.

Using her Mystic force, She took Athan to the bedroom and put him on the bed.

" He seems to have completely drained his Mystic Force, and from his bloodshot eyes, He seemed to have overworked his brain. "

Avelia didn't know what happened to Athan, so she entered the virtual world to find more information regarding his situation.

After Avelia entered Virtual World, A portal appeared in Athan's bedroom as Senior Rishen walked out.

He put his hand on Athan's forehead before a frown appeared on his face.

Shaking his head, he sighed, ' Seriously, this kid, What is the point of gaining this much when you won't be able to participate in the tournament? He might need more than a year he can recover from this. '

A small glass container appeared on his hand, which had some transparent liquid in it; the liquid had milky white sparks inside it.

Looking at it, Senior Rishen muttered, " Even if I use Luminious dew on him, It will still take around 8 months for him to wake up, and the tournament will start in 3 months. "

' Whatever, it's good as long as he can wake up early. ' Thinking of this, Senior Rishen opened the glass container before using the dew on Athan.

Seeing that Athan successfully absorbed the dew, Senior Rishen left.

Actually, After Athan fainted, The white-gold energy inside his Mystic Ream started to work automatically to cure his damaged brain and consciousness; however, the remaining white-golden energy wasn't enough to completely cure him, and he would still need 4 months to recover.

Meanwhile, Mimi also noticed this and looked at Tiana, who was training.

After contemplating for a few seconds, she decided not to tell Tiana about the current situation of Athan.

Because if she told her, then Tiana would worry for Athan while not focusing on her training.

" Wait...Big sister might have white-gold energy too. "

Mimi took a peek at Tiana's Mystic Realm and saw that she indeed had a good amount of white-gold energy.

" Looks like I'll have to disturb big sister after all. ",

Mimi muttered and pouted.

She walked to Tiana before saying in a sweet voice, " Big sister, can you please give me all the white-gold energy you have? It's really important. "

Tiana kept her eyes closed, but she nodded without questioning her and took out all her white-gold energy.

Mimi then directly transported all of the white-gold energy into Athan's Mystic Realm through the black whirlpool.

...

After a bit more than an hour, Avelia opened her eyes as he returned from the virtual world.

But the worry was still laced on her face as she couldn't find much information regarding Athan's situation, Though she bought an expensive pill which cost her all of her credits.

She knew that Athan sustained consciousness and brain internal injury, so she bought Silena Diaph Lotus Pill.

This pill was the best pill she could find on the Academy store within her budget to help Athan with his condition.

' But it might not be enough...First, I should feed him this pill.'

She didn't think much anymore and hurridly fed the pill to Athan.

Afterwards, She checked Athan's forehead and was pleasantly surprised that it was not hot anymore.

The next second, Athan even opened his eyes with a groggy expression and asked, " What happened? I remembered suffering a terrible pain before everything went black. "

Avelia hugged Athan and said in a sobbing voice, " Idiot, do you know how much I was worried? Your condition was really dire, and I didn't even know what to do to wake you up. "

Athan was startled and even frowned at first but gradually calmed down after hearing her.

' Looks like she was really worried. But...Whatever that happened to me was a good thing in a way. I actually finished comprehending five Intents at Master Level. '

He comprehended Dark, Air, Repel, Attract and Gravity Intent at Master level in that strange state.

So he was quite happy and said, " It's ok, I had great gains due to whatever that happened to me. " Saying this, He pulled Avelia away and smiled, " Thanks for taking care of me. "

" Great gains due to whatever that happened to you? Sigh..."

Athan and Avelia were startled as they heard someone else's voice arriving in the bedroom.

Both of them looked at their left side and saw Senior Rishen, who was shaking his head.

After shaking his head, Senior Rishen's face turned serious as he spoke, " Athan, You were truly in a dire condition. You would need at least one and a half year to recover from the injuries you sustained in your consciousness and brain. I fed you Luminous dew to shorten that process to 8 months, and that little miss over there fed you Silena Diaph Lotus Pill that cost all of her credits to strengthen your recovery rate, Though it would still take around 6 months to recover...But "

" You miraculously woke up in a few hours. "

Athan was startled, and sweat started to form on his face, ' In one and a half year, I could comprehend way more than just five intents and if I didn't wake up and stayed in that condition....I would have missed a lot of things and time. '

He knew the reason for his miraculous awakening was the white-gold energy because when he checked his mystic realm, all the white-gold energy was gone.

" Senior Rishen, do you know what happened to me? "

Hearing Athan's question, Senior Rishen nodded and answered with his face still being serious, " You entered Fatal Cogitation state. In this state, Your senses and brain capacity are enhanced beyond limitation by Mystic Force. You can't achieve this state manually. It only happens when you have fully isolated your consciousness and brain into doing only one thing while disregarding the external and other matters. "

" Generally, People of lowers planes shouldn't train in this state because their mystic force, consciousness and brain are not powerful enough and would instead cause great harm, and they can't even defend themselves while they are in Fatal Cogitation state. "

" More importantly, It's rare for people to be able to achieve this state in the first place. I am still surprised that you could focus on one thing with such intense concentration while foolishly disregarding your safety. "

Senior Rishen once again sighed after speaking while Athan dropped his head down.

Avelia hesitating as she seemed to want to say something but didn't speak anything in the end.

She wanted to say that she wouldn't let anyone attack Athan but didn't speak anything after seeing Athan, who had hung his head down as if he was thinking about something.

Mimi, who was watching from inside the black whirlpool, also nodded and said, " Indeed, If Guardian brother wants to enter Fatal Cogitation state with his current strength, then he would need a lot of White-gold energy, but Mimi wonders why The black ball didn't produce the white-gold energy after Big sister Tiana came here...Ahh, I remembered. To produce the white-gold energy, the guardian brother needs to give that white liquid to the black ball, but why isn't he giving white liquid anymore? "

With a pout, Mimi muttered, " I'll ask Big sis Tiana later. "

...

Outside, Athan raised his head and bowed to Senior Rishen after standing up from the bed, " I am sorry, Senior Rishen. I just realized how dangerous my situation was after thinking about it. "

He then also said sorry to Avelia before turning to Senior Rishen once again, " I think I can enter that state again, but I won't enter before gaining the sufficient qualification. Can you please tell me which Plane do I need to achieve before practising in Fatal Cogitation State? "

" You need to reach the plane that comes after Profound Domain Plane if you want to enter that state, Erudite Palace Plane. "

Athan nodded to Senior Rishen and said with a smile, " I see. Thank you very much, Senior Rishen. I will not be so reckless next time. "

" As long as you know, what are you doing. " Saying this, Senior Rishen returned to his place after going through the portal.

Avelia, who was standing there, suddenly looked at her Digiband and was surprised.

[ 2100 Credits received. ]

' This...is the cost of the pill which I brought for Athan. Did Athan send me the credits after learning Senior Rishen mentioned the Silena Diaph Lotus Pill? '

" Athan, did you send me the 2100 credits just now? "

Athan shook his head with said, " I didn't. I don't have that many credits in the first place. "

" Why? what happened? "

Avelia told him about the cost of the pill and the credits she just received, and in response, Athan said, " Senior Rishen must have sent you those credits. Since they are nurturing me, they also bore the cost of the pill that you bought. "
