The Walker Of Voids
chapter-141

[Huge thanks to TheVoidFox for your generous gift]

"Why would a being of my stature..." Lloyd's body got up, the cracks all over his body completely gone.

*DOOM*

Monarch's aura expanded out in every direction as a cold and calculated killing intent wafted out with it.

"Be afraid of an insect?"

Lloyd stood up... No... This wasn't Lloyd anymore. Lloyd was gone, and what took over was an emotionless monster that would kill anything in its path to achieve its goal, no matter who stood before it.

This was Null's awakening.

The moment he stood up, his contact lenses fell out of his eyes as his sclera became pitch black, while his irises glowed bright violet, making him look menacing through the eyes of anyone who was him.

And his monarch's aura didn't help his enemy either.

It gave him a terrifying look as the black and purple aura spiraled around him, picking up the wind and forcing the blizzard to funnel around him.

Not a single snowflake touched him the entire time as if nature itself was terrified of the being that had come out of Lloyd.

"You can understand me?" The monster widened its eyes while stepping back out of shock and surprise, yet Null didn't reply. The cold and merciless killing intent coming out of the human before him had taken him off guard, forcing him to take another step back before unleashing his own killing intent.

However, Null's killing intent was nothing like Lloyd's.

The biggest difference wasn't the emotion behind the two of theirs; instead, it was a pure gap in their intensity.

Lloyd's killing intent was like a drop in the ocean compared to Null's, to the point where someone so much stronger than him had felt threatened by it, even having their own killing intent crushed by the weight behind Null's.

And at that moment, Null disappeared.

Nothing was left behind. Not even a flash of purple light.

All the monster saw was him disappearing, and the next thing he knew, a kick had landed on the side of his head and had shot him into the forest.

The monster quickly balanced itself as it cracked through the trees and began to bleed from all the splinters that entire its body, yet after stabilizing itself, it took a single breath in and healed its entire body.

[Roaring Skies]

The monster opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar that shot through the forest like a speeding plane.

All the trees in the way were turned into dust when the attack touched them, yet when it reached Null...

"Is that the best you can do?" Null tilted his head and spoke with a monotone voice. A violet aura had coated him from head to toe, instantly neutralizing the attack the moment it touched him.

Well, neutralizing wouldn't have been the correct term to explain what just happened.

Taking a step forward, the space in front of Null shifted, making him instantly appear before the monster.

The monster swung its fist, shooting it straight for Null's abdomen, yet unlike before, its punch didn't land.

"H-How..." It muttered as a foot slammed up and into its abdomen, sending it flying several meters into the air before a bolt of purple energy hit it, creating an enormous explosion in the air.

As the monster descended, it punched the air and catapulted itself out of Null's range. It wasn't too hurt, but somehow the attacks were much stronger than before.

'How is this possible. This bald ape's attacks haven't increased in strength at all. The force behind the attacks in the same, yet why does it do more damage? Sure, I can take it for now, but at the rate this is going at, I might be forced to run away.' The monster thought as it shivered when it realized the rate of improvement the human before it was moving at.

"What are you? You are not the same ape as before." The monster finally asked.

"Oh? I am surprised an unintelligent creature like you is even capable of recognizing such changes." Null replied, causing the creature to grit its teeth.

"You know, ever since I came into this boy's body, I've always felt like he had been using it wastefully. Using it more like a tool rather than a piece of him." Null began to explain, but instead of staying in one place, he teleported to the monster's right-hand side and threw out a flurry of punches.

The punches weren't filled with power or the strength the blast the monster away. Instead, they were sharp and quick, yet somehow, each one of those punches was doing more damage than any of Lloyd's could have.

Even as the monster tried to block them, Null simply teleported his body in a way that created momentum and made his attacks unreadable.

He was quite literally pummeling the monster, and even when the monster attacked back, it always seemed like the purple energy around Null was nullifying the attack by spiraling around it and making it not have a single effect against him.

"His technique has always been awful..." Null spoke while landing a punch in the monster's gut, temple, and nose in the same second.

"His power output has never been worse..." Null slammed his foot into the monster's genitals, uncaring for battle etiquette.

"And let's not even talk about his horrible control of his mana." Null sighed with a tinge of disappointment, yet it was barely noticeable, especially when the only person listening had just been kicked in the gut, causing them to vomit a mouthful of blood before being launched back.

This kick had been much more powerful than the rest. As if the void energy coating Null had also taken part in the attack, creating a devastating kick that ruptured the monster's insides.

Pointing his hand at the monster, Null released a barrage of purple bolts of every that continued to push the monster back until it eventually slammed into a cliffside, yet Null didn't stop attacking.

He continued to attack repeatedly with the bolts, but after a while, the monster began to push back against the attacks.

[Roaring Skies]

The roar destroyed all the bolts that were coming toward it before disappearing again once it hit Null, who stood emotionless and unmoving in the face of the attack.

Null narrowed his eyes slightly when he finally saw through the smoke.

Red energy circled around the monster as its muscles bulged and its eyes reddened. It reminded Null of all the times Lloyd had sparred with Zack, making him nod as a conclusion reached him.

"He's going berserk," Null muttered.

*BOOM*

The monster shot toward Null with all the power it could muster. Even though Null continued to throw bolts of void energy at it, the monster was uncaring for its well-being now, causing it to charge forward and take the attacks head-on, essentially blocking it with its body.

Once it was in front of Null, it raised its arm in the air and swung it down at him like a hammer.

Yet, with the same expressionless face as always, Null simply teleported away from the attack, yet instead of appearing a few meters away like Lloyd would have done, he appeared above the monster.

It was now twice as big as before, reaching 12 feet high.

With the void energy coating Null's arm, he cocked it back while muttering-

"How grotesque..."

*BOOM*

The monster's head flung back as its forehead caved in, yet all it took was a single breath for it to heal again.

"How annoying..." Null sighed and teleported away, quickly grabbing Lloyd's katana before returning to the battle.

[Aspect of Void]

As Null pointed the katana at the monster, runes were engraved into its flat side before coating it with purple energy.

"Lloyd, let this be a demonstration to you..." Null's eyes burned with energy.

[Unique Style Creation]

[Nullification Style]

[Absolute Reversal + Monarch's Aura + Cleave]

Null's aura expanded further and shrouded the entire area around both him and the monster.

The void energy that coated Null the entire time began to spiral, and before the monster could understand what had happened, the taste of death appeared in the monster's mouth as its body was split in half.

It recognized the power of these attacks... No, it recognized the every energy trace within the attack itself.

Every punch, every ability, and every single offensive thing it ever did to Null, all of it was coming back to bite it in the ass.

But it didn't stop there.

Hundred if not thousands of cuts appeared all over the creature's body, cutting every square inch of it as if Null was trying to cut apart the very cells that made up the monster's body.

[Monarch's Death Domain]

Nothing was spared in the area. Everything was flattered as cuts appeared on the ground, turning it into the sand.

But for the monster, the most agonizing part was when void energy began to seep into its body, corrupting all of its Amethyst seals while turning the green energy that healed it into a purple one that burned its wounds and destroyed it from the inside out.

"Let this be a demonstration to you of what you will be capable if you tap into even a fraction of the void element..." Null spoke as the symphony of the monster's screams soothed his mind.

"Let this be a lesson. When you're a void walker, control and technique is all that matters... because control and technique reign supreme."
