The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 518: Ultiora & Ker



Chapter 518: Ultiora & Ker

"Humph, Master doesn\'t joke around. You foolish people, you don\'t know slightest of his capabilities, Shaaaa...! what an ignorant bunch," Primo came here as he took a break from training Skymare Tingale and snorted in disdain before hissing!

Hearing Primo, Dean Lenix shook his head and smiled while Shikas was startled since he didn\'t even notice Primo until now and was shocked because this strange cat suddenly appeared on Athan\'s shoulder...How was that possible?

"Don\'t mind him," Athan said with a wry smile.

...

Athan could produce four voidling-zoids per hour with his recovery speed of abyssal darkness.

Every hour, half of the recovered abyssal darkness is used to devour low-grade chaos stone to produce voidpulse, while the other half is used in the production of voidling-zoids along with voidpulse.

So in a sense, Athan could produce 2,880 voidling-zoids per month. But he limited them to 2000 voidling-zoids per month. After all, he will be using his abyssal darkness and voidpulses for other things as well.

He will increase production in the future since he had plans to make more types of voidling-zoids. But that won\'t happen anytime soon since he wants to focus on getting stronger.

...

After asking about a few more things, Shikas bid farewell to the Athan and the group as he went outside.

Looking at the huge public, and smiled and said as his voice reverberated everywhere, "Tomorrow, you all will be able to get the full news about Runic Maestro Athan\'s miraculous invention, Voidling-Zoids!"

Everyone cheered as they couldn\'t wait to get their hands on them.

"Humph! What Runic Maestro? Since when did you people start giving titles to upstarts? What\'s more, the title is \'Maestro\'! Heh, this is equivalent to Master and that Athan has yet to become a 10-star Runic artist as far as I\'m aware."

Suddenly, two people could be seen flying descending from the sky.

Every person recognized them since they were famous geniuses from Supreme Genius Leaderboard. Additionally, both of them were lauded as the most talented in the Runic Artist path before Athan rose to fame as a miraculous Runic Artist.

One of them was Ker Lushblade, A beauty of fierce temperament. She is from one of the prominent clans here, a 9th rank genius in Supreme Genius Leaderboard, and a core talent in Great Bridgade Palace.

The other one is even more impressive than her. Ultiora Laxis, a man at the 4th rank in Supreme Genius Leaderboard, and core talent from Boundless Pavilion.

Even though the battle between Ker and him regarding Runic Arts was a tie, he came out superior in it. He had a composed and calm demeanor, while Ker had difficulty keeping up with him during the whole battle.

The one who spoke just now was Ultiora as he wore a cold and indifferent expression on his face. He had short umbrella-like light brown hair and two white horns with brown patterns on his head, and a devilish white tail with the same patterns as his horn.

Shikas looked at them while raising his eyebrows and said with a grin, "Kid, As far as I am aware and my judgment, you are inferior to Athan."

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air hearing that, but Shikas nonchalantly flew up and turned around before bowing towards Dean Lenix, "Dean Lenix, we\'ll meet again later."-He then looked at Athan before speaking with a beaming smile, "I am waiting to hear some more impressive feats from you, Hahaha."

Ultiora\'s eyes showed anger hearing that comment from Shikas about him being inferior.

On the other hand, After saying his piece, Shikas intended to leave, but just then, Ultiora called him out.

" Senior Shikas, why don\'t you stay here for some more time since-"

"No need," Shikas turned around with a smile on his face, "I know what you are here for, but I am not interested in the result since I know who will win. Hahaha, I will prepare about it and post it in tomorrow\'s news scroll as well."

Everyone also guessed why Ultiora and Ker were here, but they became speechless after hearing Shikas\'s opinion and confidence in Athan.

Dean Lenix shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn\'t disagree with Shikas.

On the other hand, Ultiora clenched his fist tightly as he had never been insulted like this. It just felt bad to him that Shikas completely denied his chance at winning against Athan without seeing their battle.

He closed his eyes for a moment before his demeanor changed as he coldly smiled, \'Senior Shikas, I am afraid you will be disappointed once you hear about today\'s result later.\'

Ker was also silent, which was unlike her, but she also smirked since she knew that...Ultiora was no longer 9-star Runic Artist.

When she arrived here a bit more than a year ago, she thought that Ultiora would also arrive soon but getting no news of his arrival after a few months, she contacted some people in Boundless Pavilion and found out that Ultiora was working towards becoming a 10-star runic artist as he had a fortuitous encounter.

And just ten days ago, he had successfully broken through and became a Master Runic Artist.

Athan also came out, and seeing Ker, he frowned and waved his hand as if shooing them away, "Don\'t tell me you brought this goat here for the same thing as well? I already told you that I am not interested in the battle of runic arts or whatever."

Pff....!

Hearing Athan, many people laughed silently, and there were also some who couldn\'t hold back.

Ultiora\'s face turned dark while Ker also clenched her teeth. It just boils her mind whenever she sees this puny Orderic Catastrophe ant showing such attitude.

Athan called him a goat because Ultiora\'s horns were strikingly similar to a goat\'s horns.

"Athan! Instead of running your mouth, why don\'t you face me in battle?" Ultiora spoke with suppressed anger.

Athan laughed out loud and shook his head, "Why are you angry? Because I called you goat?"-Athan looked at him as he smiled with narrow eyes, "Do you know the other meaning of goat? It\'s actually a short form of Greatest of All Time."

Hearing that, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ultiora was also confused as to why Athan suddenly praised him.

Other people also had similar thoughts until the next sentence said by Athan.

"Oh, but you are not that goat, okay? Far from it. To me, you are literally a goat I can slaughter any time. As for why I don\'t want to battle with you? the simple reason being that you\'re not worthy enough to waste my time on."

After saying that, Athan turned around and left as he now wanted to train in the Initial-elite soul order method while his Void Grotto produces voidling-zoids.

Seeing Athan really leaving like that, everybody felt disappointed since they wanted to see the runic artist battle between Athan and Ultiora.

...While Ultiora and Ker wanted to pull out their hair in frustration.

"Why is he not accepting the challenge? Humph, I think that he is simply scared. Ultiora, we will tell the Sun-Moon organization to post the news that Athan is scared to fight and didn\'t accept our challenge. His arrogant attitude and bull shit about not worthy of his time is just a facade to mask his fear of losing."

Ker didn\'t speak in a small voice so everyone could hear it and although many people started to feel doubt, those doubts vanished the moment that thought about the miraculous voidling-zoids.

Dean Lenix flew towards them with a smile and said, "Ker, Ultiora. Maybe you didn\'t understand the message in his words. If you want to battle with him, then make it worthwhile for him."

"Worthwhile? Humph, if he wins, then he will get the title of the most talented Runic Artist and will also receive a huge following and admirers. He can also earn more wealth." Ultiora snapped as he said with a grimace.

Ker also nodded as she gritted her teeth, "He is simply scared to lose. That\'s all."

Dean Lenix shook his head and sighed, "You are...sigh. Those things may be important to you, but the value of those things you mentioned is nothing in his eyes. He is not interested in fame or following. Also...," Dean smiled at Ultiora before saying," You are forgetting that you are no longer the most talented."

Suddenly, Ultiora\'s aura spread out as he took out a golden brush and draw a multi-dimension Runic symbol that resembled a lotus.

Looking at Dean Lenix, He smirked, "I am just seven hundred and four years old and already became Master Runic Artist. I wonder once this news spread, will Athan still retain his title."

Dean Lenix was speechless before he shook his head and said, "Good for you. But Athan won\'t pay attention to such things. Whether you become Master Runic Artist or Grandmaster Runic Arist is of no concern to him nor does he care about him lauded as most talented or not."

After saying that, Dean Lenix smiled and said, "If you want Athan to battle you, then put some valuable things in line. Something that can attract his attention."

"What are such things? Can you please tell us?" Ker asked with a frown.

Dean Lenix shook his head and grinned, "I don\'t know what kind of thing can attract his attention. Find it out yourself if you want to battle him."

After saying that, He left.

Other people also scattered since the show was over. Now they were waiting for tomorrow\'s Sun-Moon news scroll to be distributed across the whole Midguard continent.
