The Tale of the Void Emperor
The Tale of the Void Emperor - Chapter 89: Straightforward Avelia and her goal ?

After Athan defeated the aquatic beasts, Wisps of white flame rose from the pond before forming into an arrow and pointing at the door stuck to the wall on the top left side.

Athan decided to follow the arrow as he knew that he had to quickly save Avelia or fail in this task.

' Sigh, I am also not behaving like my usual self lately...'

He entered the door while sighing, but he didn't even have time to catch a virtual breath before he saw a big icy claw that blocked his entire view attacking him.

Seeing the claw, He didn't hesitate as he powerfully punched the claw while coating his fists in Flame energy.

*BAAM*

The Icy Claw was shattered before revealing a big bear that had icy scales all over its body.

*GROWWWLLLL*

The bear growled loudly, but Athan didn't have time to waste as he released an Impact Shot with his fire energy towards the head of the bear.

The Grade-6 Icy Scaled Bear was defeated as another arrow formed that pointed towards a door.

...

Just like this, Athan continued to defeat the beasts while following the arrows.

After defeating the grade-6 bear, He encountered two Grade-6 Winged Metal Crocodiles.

After defeating two grade-6 winged Metal Crocodiles, He encountered three Grade-6 Armored Wood Element Aquatic beasts that looked like hippos inside the water pond.

He defeated them by using Lightning Impact Point inside the water as Wood Element is generally weak against lightning.

After Defeating the Aquatic beasts, He encountered four Grade-6 Flying beasts that looked like bats in another door.

The bats were very fast and released sound-type attacks.

As Athan didn't want to waste time, He released a wide area of lighting to paralyzed the bats before he gathered them together using Gravity field and released an Impact shot of Dark Energy to defeat them.

" Only 5 minutes are left. " muttering this, He hurriedly followed the Arrow's direction and entered through the door.

But after he entered through this door, He saw Avelia in a dire situation as her left hand was gone and was drenched in her own blood.

Two Giant beasts were in front of her. One was flying and looked like a big white Bubulcus bird, while another was a buffalo like a beast with fully dark brown skin and two horns as it released dark purple flames from its nose and ears.

Both were actually Grade-7 Origin Core Beasts.

Seeing the situation, Athan dashed madly towards Avelia using Combusting burst step with full power and grabbed her before starting to heal her using Light energy.

But beasts were not one to remain idle as they released terrifying attacks.

Bubulcus released a white beam that seemed to be made up of lightning and mist while the Buffalo shoot a Purple flame ball towards Athan.

Athan didn't hold back and used Combusting burst step while using Space Ripple to obstruct the attack, which didn't help much, but he successfully dodged the attacks.

After dodging, He covered Avelia in two Blood Threading barriers and hurridly dashing in another direction. He formed two Impact points of two layers using Water Energy from both hands at the same time.

He used to Attract Intent and Repelled Intent to form the Impact Points on both hands.

Attract force in the base of his palms and Repel force on top while forming the Impact point in between them.

This method successfully allowed him to form impact points on both hands at the same time.

He also formed them faster this time as he didn't hold back on energy as Attract and Repel Force helped kept them in control.

It took him only 2 seconds to form two Impact shots, but still, the beasts attacked him before he could attack them.

" Damn..." Gritting his teeth, Athan held back and didn't release his attack but instead dodged using combusting bursting step while creating another layer of the impact point.

After dodging, He released the two impact points towards both beasts while also increasing their speed with the Space Ripple spell.

*BOOM SPLATTTTT*...*BOOM SPLATTTTT*

...

[ Congratulations on finishing this task in Impossible Mode. ]

- Reward: 500 Credits to Athan, 100 Credits to Avelia.

Afterwards, They arrived in their temporary dorm, and The wounds on Avelia's body also disappeared.

They also heard a notification instantly after arriving.

[ Due to one of the participant's Combats Power being quite higher than other top newbie geniuses, The Final Task will be revealed instantly but with some changes after a few minutes. ]

...

Although injuries could be healed easily, The pain and wounds they suffered were real while doing missions and tasks inside the virtual world.

But Avelia's eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at Athan and thought, ' Yes!! He is the one. With him, I can achieve my goal. '

In the depth of that excitement, though, There was also another emotion.

She stood up and walked towards Athan, who had closed his eyes and was sitting crossed-legged on the ground right after arriving here.

Sensing her coming towards him, Athan opened his eyes and was surprised to see Avelia because her face was virtually red, and her eye seemed to revealed excitement.

After coming near Athan, She sat down in front of him and said with a blush, " I...I want you to marry me. "

Athan was dumbfounded hearing that while Tiana and Mimi were also dumbfounded as they were also watching everything.

" Hehe, This big sister is so direct. " Mimi giggled before speaking while Tiana's jaws were also dropped to the ground.

But after a second, Tiana bitterly smiled and said, " Indeed, and Athan should accept her as he needs a female companion while I'm away. See, even the AI said that Athan's combat power is too high, and Strong people always have more wives since Ancient times. "

But what Athan said next surprised everyone.

He shook his head while frowning and said, " No. "

Avelia was shocked, " But why? "

" Yeah, why? " Tiana and Mimi were also confused.

Athan smiled and said, " Because I already have a wife. "

" What? Powerful men have more than one wife, while some powerful females also have their own harem. Haven't you heard of Aragaya Jade Empress? "

Athan frowned hearing that, and thought, ' Yeah, This world is strong eat the weak type of world. Even in my old world, Some kings had harems but...I don't feel comfortable doing this as Tiana is trapped inside the black whirlpool. '

He then still shook his head and said to Avelia, " I won't marry you. "

Avelia pouted and said, " What's wrong with you? Wait...What if your own wife tells you that you can have more than one wife? "

" Eh.." Athan was surprised, but then he furrowed his brows and he shook his head before saying, " No. "

...

Meanwhile, Tiana's eyes became moist as she said, " Although I'm happy, I don't mind at all if he gets more wife. "

' His physic is also superior to mine as when we do it every time, I always get tired first, and he has much energy left in him each time. I can at least see that much. '

This was also one of the reasons that she didn't mind Athan having one more wife.

Outside...

Just as Avelia was going to say something to Athan, who turned silent, A screen lit up in front of them.

[ The Final task has been revised due to the participant's combat power. ]

[ Hereby, Your Fire, Water, and Lightning Energy won't be usable, and The final task is to Rescue 5 humans held captive by Herazins. ]

[ Work together with your partner to save them. ]

- Hostages shouldn't die. Even if one is dead, The task will result in failure.

- Reward- ??? ( Depends on performance ).
