The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 674: Reunion-1

Athan closed his eyes for a few moments as he tried to sense his bond with Lucky and was startled, 'this...how come I feel that Lucky is very close? What about Lucent and others? hmmm...'

Athan tried to sense others and faintly felt that they were near but not as near as Lucky, 'what's going on?'

Athan looked at the portal and muttered, "the answers seem to be at the other side of the portal. Let's see..."

...

Athan saw a large door one hundred meters in front of him after he came out of the portal.

The door was of a large dome-like hall.

"So that's the party hall?" Athan muttered before he started walking towards it.

He activated his void cloak as a void field appeared around him that put him into his own unique space dimension. The void field had properties of abyssal darkness and Primo's lapis lagoon joint by mysterious creation properties of voidpulse, which made it a powerful defense field capable of defending against all kinds of attack, whether physical or energy or soul.

The only downside of it was that if he wanted to attack physically, he had to deactivate the void field. However, he can still release abyssal darkness through it.

Athan walked in front of the door but didn't open it right away to enter inside.

The people inside the hall knew that Athan had arrived because the portal outside was conjured by Dreevindo.

"Hey, Dreevindo. Why did he stop?"

Dreevindo smiled wryly and spoke, "don't worry, he will enter inside. I told him that I had trapped two candidates here for him to kill, and he needs their souls badly as well, so he will definitely enter inside. However..."

Pausing there, Dreevindo showed a tired expression before saying, "you all know as well that my candidate is wild and doesn't listen to me at all. So...I don't know what he is thinking."

"LOOK! He pointed his palm towards the door and conjured a pitch-black orb."

Everyone looked at the cloudly screen that showed outside scenery. Seeing Athan conjuring a black orb towards the door, everyone became worried.

"Humph, don't worry. We have expected this, and the moment he attacks the door, the ten formations and barriers will activate. Although this hall would be destroyed, it doesn't matter," Celestial Sirius spoke with a cold snort.

Internally, Dreevindo thought, 'It remains to see whether those formations can really affect Athan or not.'

*BOOOOOOOOOM....*

The gate was devoured by the incoming large black orb, and right at that moment, the entire hall was destroyed as blinding colorful lights spread high into the sky.

*Swoooooosh...*

Everyone saw a shadow pass by them, entering the barrier right before it was completely formed.

"T-that...that was Divine Aurora Lady! Why did she enter inside?"

...

On the other hand, Athan found himself in another landscape wreathed by chaotic powers in various forms.

All of them were attacking him. After two seconds, his void field was broken, and all attacks hit him.

His body was attacked by various chaotic powers and soul chaotic powers.

However, Athan created an abyssal darkness barrier around him.

"Hmm...It looks like I have to break out of this with a big move before all of my abyssal darkness and soul energy is consumed," Athan muttered with a frown as he saw his abyssal darkness depleting fast by devouring the incoming attacks.

Naturally, he started creating solid walls with the toughest material he could make with voidpulse in front of him since abyssal darkness consuming everything was producing voidpulse as well.

While doing that, Athan also started condensing abyssal darkness so he could release it and destroy everything around him.

"Athan! Don't resist!"

Suddenly, Athan felt familiar energy coming towards him.

"Meow~~Don't resist master! It's me, Lucky!"

Athan was startled and didn't resist the incoming power as he disappeared from his place and arrived in a very familiar place.

In front of him was a familiar face but with some maturity.

"Brother Athan!" Mimi shouted with excitement as she dashed forward and hugged Athan, " *sniff*-I missed you so much, brother Athan."

"Master!"

*Roarrrr!!*

"Master!"

...

"Sirius, activate the vision screen ward so we can see what is happening inside the formation."

A square vision screen appeared that showed the hellish ground filled with deadly chaotic powers of offensive runic formations.

However, they didn't find Athan there.

"What's going on?"

"Where is he?"

Everyone was confused before the Lingardim Celestial, the stick-slim human who had made Lily her candidate, spoke, "They are gone."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lingardim coughed and spoke with a wry smile, "Divine Aurora Lady took him with her."

"What bull shit?" Sirius shouted with an angry expression.

"Eh...I am not bull shitting," Lingardim spoke with a weak smile, "Divine Aurora Lady also doesn't listen to me like how that Athan is to Dreevindo. However, as you all know, she is very powerful."

"But so what? How can she take him away after entering that trap?" the bunny-woman Celestial spoke with an irritated expression.

"Well, you also know that Divine Aurora Lady is capable of appearing out of nowhere and can disappear at will. She can also do that with others, as I have seen her. So...cough, well, she went inside and took Athan with her, I think."

"Why did she save him?!!" Sirius grunted coldly before looking at Dreevindo, "Dreevindo....you, did you know about their relationship?"

Dreevindo was also currently stunned and in disbelief. He looked at Sirius and spoke while shaking his head, "I didn't know."

"Lingardim, do you know their location? Can you trace her?"

"Yeah, you should know about it, right?"

While the Orchos Celestial spoke, the other candidates started to worry.

"I don't know where she will appear," Lingardim shook his head before he narrowed his eyes, "however, are you sure you want to meet them? Our grand trap is useless right now, and...unless you all stay together before encountering them, you all will likely die."

Other Orchos Celestials hurridly nodded their heads with nervous expressions.

"If Divine Aurora Lady and that Void Bringer get together...we, we only have nightmare ahead of us."

"Calm down, everyone! Athan actually doesn't want to kill all candidates," Dreevindo shouted as his words attracted everyone's attention.
