The Walker Of Voids
chapter-139

They were all bald except the women and some of the stronger men in the village.

Now that he looked at it, there weren't nearly enough women in the village for them to create the next generation properly, so he was doing them a favor, right?

Instead of making them suffer for generations until none left, Lloyd pulled the plug on them early... It was an act of mercy, right?

'Heh... Who am I kidding? I'm doing this purely for the void energy I get from killing these things.' Lloyd thought to himself. He tried to call them 'things' to lessen the blow, and despite not expecting much, it did actually work.

They were objects for him to get stronger. They were like bags of void energy getting ready to be harvested, and that was exactly what he would do.

*"You monster! What did we ever do to you!?"* The woman roared, yet since Lloyd still couldn't understand her, he responded appropriately.

"I don't understand you, lady. But, if it makes you feel better-" Lloyd pointed his finger at her face and shot a purple bullet through her skull, watching her fall back with what he assumed was her child in her arms.

"It's not personal." He finished after the woman had passed to the other side, if monsters even had such a thing.

The other monsters were running around wildly, while the larger and stronger ones came forward with their weapons in hand, ready to kill Lloyd on the spot.

"All second commandments in the topaz stage. I really think the military outdid themselves this time. Sure, I'm practically searching for monsters of you level, but for them to be available as such a high densi-" Lloyd couldn't finish his sentence as a cleaver shot toward his face.

There were about seven of them coming at him. Each one of them was as big as the hobgoblin he had fought back when he went into the dungeon with Osmygold's team.

Lloyd doubted he'd ever see those guys again, but at least they made a few good memories while they were together.

Stepping to the side, Lloyd dodged the incoming cleaver and analyzed his opponents.

The weakest of the seven was a 4 seal topaz stage, while the strongest had 9 seals and was the closest to breaking into the amethyst seal.

Too bad everything he had worked toward until now was nothing but a pipe dream.

They were all also very fat, making them look like goliaths in front of Lloyd, who was just a small 6ft 3 man who seemed to move with the grace of the wind.

Seeing the cleaver was now stuck in the ground, Lloyd decided to end this as quickly as possible.

Throwing a kick forward, Lloyd snapped the cleaver in two. At the same time, he grabbed the top blunt edge of the blade and threw it toward the monster that had attacked him, decapitating it in an instant.

'Oh yeah, I'm in a cloaked village... No outside witnesses. Even those have mana vision will be blinded by the barrier so they wouldn't be able to see anything inside.' Lloyd grinned, as a bat, sword, and axe swung at where he stood.

[Void Step]

Disappearing in a flash of purple light, Lloyd appeared in front of three monsters behind them that were all using their hands instead of weapons. They were also the weakest of the group, so Lloyd just zapped them with a little bit of void-infused lightning that ravaged their insides and turned them into charred corpses.

Flipping back, Lloyd jumped above the armed monsters who were now attacking where he once stood again, unable to control their momentum once they decided to attack.

Lloyd took this chance to slash his hand horizontally, creating 7 miniature blue stars before him before shooting them toward the monsters.

The weaker pair got two stars each, while the one with 9 topaz seals got three; however, due to him not infusing it with void energy, the pair were injured while the stronger monster simply slid back after having blocked the attacks with its arms.

It had a little burning, yet it healed as fast as it appeared.

'Oh my god finally! A monster with an ability. Maybe I can steal it.' Lloyd grinned while thinking of how easily he could heal. Of course, he had other ways of healing, but they were far less efficient and a lot slower than the healing he had just seen from the monster before him.

[Hades' Chains]

With a snap of his fingers, Lloyd created chains that sprouted from the ground and wrapped themselves around the monster with 9 topaz seals.

Pointing all 5 fingers at the other two monsters, Lloyd created a beam of void energy that turned into a homing laser that shot through their limbs and spine, paralyzing them on the spot before merging behind the monsters and shooting through their heads.

"You, on the other hand..." Lloyd grinned as he watched the chains sear the monster's skin.

"It's too bad we can't communicate. Maybe your grunts would mean something." Lloyd chuckled before pointing his hand at the monster and creating a purple flame at the palm of his hand.

Yet just when Lloyd was about the burn the monster alive, he felt something enter the dome they were in.

Looking over, Lloyd hoped it wouldn't be a human so he wouldn't have to kill them, yet when he saw what it was, and felt the aura it released, he knew that killing them would be a lot harder than he thought.

While one was enormous and pretty strong, having reached the first amethyst seal, the man next to him was small, yet the aura he radiated was that of pure killing intent, to the point where Lloyd found it hard to check the monster's power.

'Third amethyst seal... Yep, I'm fucked.'
