The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 222: Gerian's decision

Gerian had betrothed his daughter to a prominent clan called Buckince, and he had made plans with their clan head to attack the Nadent clan and Rochtels clan.

The Nadents and Rochtels were the ones who attacked his Lemeanor clan, which resulted in the deaths of many, including his wife.

" But Qerin...didn't you admire that boy from Buckince clan who won the regional championship among the youngsters in the tournament held by head organizations in the surrounding regions? "

Qerin stomped her feet in the air, " I only admired him because of his strength and talent. It's not like I fell in love with him. "

" Sigh...I...already betrothed you to that boy as that boy also seemed to be interested in you. Since you both were like that, the clan head of Buckince and I arranged this. "

Qerin seemed to understand the gist of this, " And you two also partnered based on this and are making plans to attack the Nedent and Rochtel clan? "

Gerian helplessly nodded, " I somehow prevented the destruction of our clan by using the token given to me by my great-grandfather. That token was related to Harbinger Valley. It seems that my great-grandfather earned this organization's favor and received this token. But after their one-time aid, The token is useless, so I had to find reliable support, the Buckins clan. "

Qerin understood the situation, but she was reluctant to leave Mike.

Gerian was also in deep thought, and after a few seconds, He seemed to have made a decision and spoke with the resolution, " Since my daughter had found her life-parter and you also seem very reluctant, then I will not force you. Just as you wish, You will stay here and progress with your friends. I will say to the clan head of the Buckince that you are currently missing, and we are trying to find you. Until you return, I will hold this partnership with the Buckince clan. "

" But I won't marry anyone else even after I return. "

Gerina smiled and nodded, " Alright. It will be just as you said. But..." his face turned a bit serious before continuing, " If you can return before twenty years, it would be best. "

Qerin appeared confused, " Why before twenty years? Is something going to happen after twenty years? "

" The Great Bridged Palace is going to announce something, and it's related to those who have yet to grasp and understand any Order Ken. "

" The Great Bridged Palace!.." Qerin was shocked because this was a giant that could connect to far and vast regions of Chaosverse. Thus, it was called Great Bridged Palace. It was one of the oldest organizations in the Chaosverse.

Qerin suddenly remembered something and said, " Dad, I want to show you a kind of power. Can you tell me if you have seen it before? "

Qerin then activated her Geno art as a pearl necklace appeared around her neck.

Gerian narrowed his eyes as he sensed the subtle power from her necklace and the aura from Qerin that suddenly changed after she wore this necklace.

After a few seconds, Gerian asked, " Do you have any way to use this peculiar power?

Qerin nodded and said, " I am going to use a skill on you. Be careful. "

Gerian nodded as he prepared.

Qerin then used her Geno Skill: Sheen on Doom on her father.

A flash of white light appeared, which brought a surprised expression on Gerian because he was unable to dodge it and block it. After that, He felt a weird sensation as if his senses and perception were going to get jumble, but his natural power resisted it and suppressed it instantly.

With a marveled expression, Gerian asked, " What is this power? Although it couldn't do anything to me, it sure is peculiar and strange because I could not dodge and block it, and if I didn't resist it, It would surely take effect on me. "

Usually, At his stage, The power of the universe shouldn't even affect him even if he didn't resist because he was in an entirely different and way higher level than people who still use the powers that are limited to universal laws.

" I also don't know what this power is. I just received it from a friend after chanting a mantra. " Qerin then told her father about things like Genome tree and others things.

Gerian listened and nodded before finally asking, " Do you know that mantra? "

Qerin nodded but hesitated.

Seeing this, Gerian understood and smiled, " If you made a promise to your friends to not give this mantra to anyone, then it's okay. "

" That's not it. Actually, I wasn't told or made any promise not to give this mantra to anyone. But I think even if I give you the mantra, you won't be able to obtain any genome technique. "

" Oh..." Gerian appeared surprised, " Is there any requirements or...? "

" I don't know...but. " Qerin shook her head. After thinking for a moment, She decided to pass the mantra to her father.

Gerian listened carefully, and after that, He also chanted the mantra.

But as guessed by Qerin, He didn't get any powers. No whirlpool appeared in front of him in which he could put his hand inside and receive the genome power.

" Looks like you are right. I didn't receive anything, and no whirlpool appeared as you said. "

" Dad! Promise me that you will never pass this mantra to anyone or even mention this to anyone. "

Seeing the serious face of Qerin, Gerian gave a smile, " Don't worry. I hereby take a soul-bound oath that if I ever reveal anything about this to anyone, My soul will suffer in eternal doom of chaos. "

" Dad! " Qerin was startled and was somewhat speechless. This scene was similar to how she directly formed a contract that her soul will scatter if she ever revealed anything about the Special space of Athan, his secret power, and the Ark.

Like father, like daughter.

" Alright. Although I am letting you stay here, You have to take this protective necklace. There are five crystals inside the central part of the necklace, and they can save your life five times against anything that is not powerful than my power. "

Qerin accepted this because otherwise, her father wouldn't budge.

Gerian then disappeared, and Qerin continued fighting on this battlefield.

Tiana and Avelia were also fighting, while Mike seemed to have landed in slight trouble while fighting in a boss-zone.

Mike was currently fighting against a giant tree boss monster with many vine attacks and giant flowers that released wide-range attacks.

Many people were also attacking this boss monster while dodging its sharp and intangible vine attacks that were impossible to block with their barriers.

Those who couldn't dodge were either injured or seriously injured. Some even died.

Mike's head was currently spinning as he felt sleepy because he was caught up in an undefendable and intangible attack that directly affected his brain.

' Looks like I have no choice but to use Geno Frame...' Mike helplessly thought. He had gathered 55% of Geno energy after resting in a secretive place so that he could use it in a dire situation, but he didn't expect that he would have to use it in the next boss-zone fight.

After deciding, He instantly used his Geno Frame: Destructo Bahamut.

A palpitating aura filled with sky-reaching pressure released as his body was covered in draconic full body armor with sharp scales that protrude outwards.

*BOOOM...*
