The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 317: Finale-2, Athan vs Gemdamo, Despair

After that, three more people issued challenges to the people in the top ten but failed. These three were rank 10th, 11th, and 13th.

The 13th rank competitor challenged tree man after thirty-minute but lost.

Finally, Athan raised his hand.

' Since I have to challenge someone in the top ten, then I might as well challenge this guy who had Shish's blood on him. '

Thinking of this, Athan challenged 4th rank competitor.

This 4th rank competitor was none other than Gemdamo. The pupil of Demon Xubaji, The one who almost killed Shish.

Gemdamo grinned at Athan. He also remembers Athan as they were in the first batch winners in the 4th round.

After jumping onto the square battle platform, He sneered at Athan, " Be careful not to die cause I don't know how to hold back. "

The middle-aged man floating in the sky frowned hearing that, but that's all. He had no intention of meddling.

Athan also slightly frowned because he felt killing intent from Gemdamo.

But after frowning a bit, Athan face changed into a smile as he nodded towards Gemdamo.

" The first thing that comes out of your mouth is fart, I see. As expected from an ugly...cough, never mind. "

" You...."

Hearing what Athan said, Gemdamo's face froze for a second before he started laughing, "? Hahaha. Show me your skill in the battle of fists and not words. "

" Ehh...My bad. I am really sorry. " Athan made an apologetic face and even bowed, " I should've known that your pea-sized brain is not capable of coming up with proper words. "

"pff..."

" Hahahaha. "

The other competitors started laughing, and Gemdamo's face turned dark as he really had a short temper.

He had a unique body physique and had been spoiled by Demon Xubaji since he became his pupil with his every wish fulfilled. So, this was his first time getting insulted in front of thousands of people like this.

The middle-aged man also smiled but then, he coughed and gave the signal to start the fight.

" FIGHT...ON! "

Gemdamo was waiting for this signal as he couldn't wait to slaughter Athan.

His body shined in black and bright red glow as strange vein-like patterns surfaced on his body that gave off explosive powers. Without wasting a second, He dashed towards Athan.

Athan's eyes gleamed as a cold grin surfaced on his face, ' Coming head-on? Hehe. He really has a pea-sized brain. '

Since this Gemdamo showed intention to kill him, Athan couldn't control his bloodthirst too.

He wanted to show despair to this Gemdamo.

But he took no action against this charge of Gemdamo.

He just stood there, with his light grey hair fluttering, his both eyes that had black and white irises gleaming with cold light-filled with excitement, and his flawless face that showed a provocative grin towards the coming Gemdamo.

*Crash.....Khaaaaaaaad...*

Gemdamo crashed into Athan, who got pushed back several meters while leaving trails of blood behind.

But he was not downed. He held the ground beneath his feet as he stopped himself.

His skin was cracked along with some bones but nothing serious because he had used forty percent of his abyssal darkness to coat his internal body.

Whatever damage he received from Gemdamo wasn't severe as all of it was superficial injuries. The cracks on his bones were only little, and they healed due to his healing factor.

" Hehehe...was this your full power? So weak. "

Gemdamo was shocked because even though it wasn't his full power, It could severely injure anyone who hadn't put on defense like Athan.

He looked at Athan's provocative grin and fumed as he used his power of unique physique along with his other powers without holding back.

His body got bigger, and he started to transform. Dark bone spikes with red patterns on them appeared from several parts of his body like shouldered, elbow, knees, and palms. Two bone spikes also appeared from behind his back, and a bone skull superimposed over his face.

After this transformation, Gemdamo pointed at Athan as his changed voice that sounded deep and vibrated rang out, " if you want to keep your life, then you should surrender now. Of course, I don't think you are that cowardly. Hehehe, right? "

Athan grinned after hearing that, " It looks like your pea-sized brain became a nut-sized brain after transformation. You managed to put together a few words to form a provocative third-rate sentence. Good job. "

" DIE!!!!...."

Gemdamo dashed towards Athan with even faster speed, and in just two blinks of an eye, he appeared in front of Athan before pushing both of his glowing bone spikes of his palm into Athan's chest.

*Chreeeeeeee....*

Athan grabbed both bone spikes before they could hit his chest as he got continuously pushed back by Gemdamo.

But he felt strange power from the bone spikes that started to corrode his hands into black liquid, but only its outer layer was eroded as the insides of his hands were protected by abyssal darkness.

Gemdamo was shocked once again, and this time way more than previously.

Athan looked into the shocked eyes of Gemdamo before he let out faint laughter.

" hehe.."

He released his right hand from holding a bone spike before making a precise and clear slash towards the shocked Gemdamo.

This slash was small, thin, and fast as it went towards the neck of Gemdamo.

Gemdamo wasn't able to do anything at this close range as they were less than half a meter close. He also didn't think that Athan would release the hold from one of his bone spikes.

The slash hit him as he felt hellish pain and his flesh and bone started to get devoured.

No voice came out from his throat as Athan also controlled the abyssal darkness to keep Gemdamo's head intact.

Gemodamo retracted the bone spike from his left hand before putting it over his neck.

" Arrrr....arrrr...."

Gemdamo started to feel scared because no matter what power he used, he couldn't remove the black aura from his beck.

Athan then released abyssal darkness from his left hand, which grabbed the right hand's bone spike of Gemdamo.

*Crack...*

He directly broke Gemdamo's left hand before kicking with his right foot towards Gemdamo's legs.

*Thud....*

" Nut-sized brain. Why don't you surrender? "

Athan placed his foot over Gemdamo's chest before saying.

Roselin and Drizzly were slightly excited. Especially Roselin, who kept muttering, " Kill him, Athan. "

" Arrr...arr..."

Athan made a slashing motion towards his legs and released Sumireas Slash, But this Sumireas Slash was more black than shining yellow with brown sparks.

Sumireas slash's true form was a cross slash, and thus, both legs of Gemdamo were severed along with his middle part.

Gemdamo had despair in his eyes, along with blood and tears mixed in them as he desperately turned his head towards the middle-aged man floating in the sky.

The middle-aged man noticed this, but Athan was faster as he simply released a skyline blow toward the chest of Gemdamo.

This skyline blow looked different as it had a black flaming aura coating over it.

It hit the chest of Gemdamo before going inside it.

At this time, The middle-aged man descended on the platform while saying, " Stop!. "

Athan simply stepped back, but he was still controlling the abyssal darkness inside Gemdamo's body.

At first, he decided just to turn the whole body of Gemdamo into nothingness, but since it would be too much for everyone here, He spread his abyssal darkness inside the body of Gemdamo.

When the middle-aged man bent down and was going to check Gemdamo's condition, He saw the eyes of Gemdamo turning black before simply disappearing. Seeing it, He knew that Gemdamo died.

But when he checked the internal body of Gemdamo, he was shocked and looked at Athan with a peculiar and shocked gaze.
