The Tale of the Void Emperor

*BEEEEEEEEEEM...*

The enraged crystal king kong released a powerful, thick, and wide laser beam from its mouth after its crystal crown shined for some time.

The eight beings and Athan scattered from the path of the laser to dodge it.

After dodging, Terxion spoke to his team with a wicked smile, " Kill this human brat first. Yeilon and Rumorn, Trap him with your powers. "

Athan saw their intentions and smiled at them. He then thought of something and said with a grin, " How about this? I will not attack you and first kill this king kong, and In the meantime, You can attack me however you want, and I will not retaliate. Let's see if you managed to kill me while I am not even paying attention to you. "

He then entirely ignored them while Terxion and the others' faces turned black and red from being looked down on like this and that too by ONLY ONE ENEMY. That enemy was also not from the Great five races and was from the human race.

Terxion was bubbling with rage as he shouted, " EVERYONE! KILL THAT BRAT AT ALL COST. "

*Swooosh....*

Athan disappeared as he started flying at a breakneck speed towards the crystal king kong.

The eight beings were dumbfounded seeing his speed, but Terxion gritted his teeth and said, " Pay attention and attack him. Predict his route by observing his battle with Kong and set up traps. TODAY IF WE CAN'T KILL HIM, THEN WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE. "

Athan smirked hearing that, but he continued and dodged the punches of kong before directly goings towards its head.

" Crimson Depth Spears. "

Two Long and sharp spike protruded from his shoulders and Athan broke them with his hand and grabbed them in his both hands.

" Ouch.."

Athan felt a bit of pain as he broke the spikes from his shoulders, but this was how it worked.

The consumption to use these Metaphysical Arts was the unique energy spread throughout his body known as Framework Force.

This force is always present in his body, but it also has capacity. Normally, This force can recover slowly after it is spent, but he can speed up the process by spreading Primal energy and Genesis energy throughout his body.

He ignored the countless crystal shards coming at him after creating a constantly regenerating blood shield in front of him.

The crystal shards sometimes went past the damaged gaps of the blood shield while it recovered from crystal shards that constantly hit him, but they still didn't manage to damage him that much.

He flew on top of the king kong as it tried to attack Athan with his large hands but failed as Athan was too fast.

The eight beings also neared King kong and started setting up traps that trigger when someone comes into a certain range.

King Kong didn't even notice them because Athan constantly attacked it with the Crimson depth spears.

Each attack of Crimson depth spears would leave a crimson mark on king kong's body, and then the mark would seep inside its body.

" Looks like this king kong is ignore the things that are going inside its body. " Athan muttered as he continued to attack the king kong with his spears while dodging its heavy attacks like laser and the slaps of its hand.

He was also paying attention to those eight beings who were making traps for him, but he ignored them for now.

He also wondered why they didn't attack him directly, but it was probably because they were afraid of attracting King kong's attention.

*RROOOARRRRRR*

The king kong suddenly roared very loudly that shook everything as its whole crystallized body started to shine with black color.

" Crap..." Athan cursed as the danger bells rang inside his head, and he also noticed that the attack he was building up inside king kong's body evaporated.

The giant king kong actually jumped into the sky as before it dived straight down, even terrifying energy surrounding its body.

Athan could enter inside his special space, but he didn't as his eyes burned with fighting spirit, and he used several defensive moved on his body.

He created several barriers with his primal energy that consisted of his domain power.

[ A/N: If you don't remember, The domain power is mixed power of all concept power of his three Altar spirits and their individual domain mixed into one domain which is Athan's personal domain. ]

After creating those several barriers, He also fully consumed his magic energy to strengthen his Blood magic: Vindication Covenant.

King kong smashed on the ground with a loud bang.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM....*

Powerful black energy blasted in all directions that swept up everything, and the landscape changed. The traps created by those eight beings also turned into smoke.

Like Athan, They were also aware of the powerful move of king kong as they superimposed their various defensive powers to save themselves from being killed.

*Blerghh...*

Athan spurted a mouthful of blood and slowly stood up, There were some cracks in his hand bones and ribs, but that was all.

After wiping away the blood from his mouth, He looked in the direction where those eight beings created a joint defensive move.

Those eight beings scrambled on the ground and slowly stood up with various injuries.

Athan smirked and muttered, " Since I failed to try this move on King kong, I might as well try them on you. "

Crimson threads released from fingers as they shot towards all eight beings while they were off-guard.

The threads shot inside their body rapidly, and their face changed as they looked at Athan.

" Dammn it...I can't find this thing in my body...What did he do ?"

Terxion grimaced and said, " It's a Metaphysical attack of his Framework Art, Only I and Remorul have mastered our Framework Art, and you can only remove those Metaphysical attacks with your own Framework force. "

Terxion quickly found the crimson thread and destroyed it.

Athan felt he lost two connections, but he smiled and said, " Hehe, Six are enough. "

Saying this, Athan activated his Ultimate attack of Crimson Impaler, " Crimson Impale," and his Framework force consumed rapidly as The eight being's face suddenly changed.

" TERXION, HELP!! "

Everyone felt something growing in their body, but it only lasted for two seconds before...

*Shraaaaaa....*

*Shraaaaaa....*

*Shraaaaaa....*

...

The six beings were impaled by three crimson spikes that sprouted from their bodies. Three spikes grew out from their head, chest, and belly as they were impaled at the same positions.

By no means was this overpowered because the threads released by Athan were easy to block. He just caught them off-guard due to the explosion created by King kong and the injuries they received.

To pull off this ultimate attack, Athan had constantly attacked the enemy with his Metaphysical Arts and accumulate crimson energy inside their body.

Suppose the enemy also has Framework Art and mastered it. In that case, they could use their Framework force to destroy accumulate crimson energy, and in this case, It would be a contest of their other abilities and the one who lasts longer.

The normal Metaphysical Arts were not that weak as all three moves of his Metaphysical Arts had high penetrative power and severely increased the pain. < Crimson Claws >, < Crimson Threads >, < Crimson Depth Spears > and the final attack, < Crimson Impale > The condition to use this final attack was to let his crimson energy enter inside the opponent. But opponents could destroy the crimson energy and stop the Crimson impale forcefully by consuming most of their Framework Force.

Either way, This could be a good distraction during the fight.

" As expected, The Framework Art is not as powerful as magic, but oh well, It's useful nonetheless. " Muttering this, Athan looked at the Terxion and another person of the Grakil race and then at King Kong, who was slowly standing up.

" Well, Let's finish this. "

*Zooooooooom*

" WAIT...I CAN FORM A CONTRACT AND BECOME YOUR SERV-..."

Athan easily and directly killed with his two punches since they were already injured. He then dashed towards king kong with Chasm Severing in his right hand.

The king kong looked at Athan with its dark red eyes and roared before shooting countless crystals from his hands.

Athan ignored them as he was fully recovered and used a Blood shield that extended from his Blood Magic: Vindication Covenant and the faint barrier from his blood wings, Blood Magic: Unbound Covenant.

Crystal King kong seemed exhausted after using that powerful move because it became slower. Athan easily arrived at his neck and cut it with Chasm Severing, which consumed 18% of his genome power due to the thick neck of the king kong.
