Level Up: Voidwalker

''We should watch them for a day to see if anything changes,'' Estelle commented while standing on the edge.

Atlas looked at the blonde and nodded, ''Sounds good, we will use my monsters to plow into the wall while we sneak from the back but with this many soldiers it'll be a tough fight,'' he said in response.

She agreed, ''That's the best we can do, I would do anything to help Lilith as I know you cared about her.''

''Thank you, princess,'' Atlas replied with a warm smile. ''You girls helping me means a lot.''

''We used to believe it was only the prophecy that bound us to you,'' Estelle confessed, her voice soft, ''But the more time we've spent by your side, the clearer it's become, there's so much more to it than destiny. We choose to be with you, not because of fate, but because of who you are.''

Atlas was taken aback, but a smile tugged at his lips. ''Thank you, Estelle. I don't want to rush things with the five of you. We have years ahead of us, so let's take it slow and build a strong foundation for our relationship.''

The blonde's face lit up at his words causing his heart to skip when seeing her expression. She leaned in, planting a gentle, affection-filled kiss on his cheek before replying, ''That's perfect. The stronger we become, the more time we'll have so let it happen naturally.''

He agreed before Estelle commented, ''I'm going to rest like the others, the upcoming fight will be challenging.''

Atlas smiled while watching the beautiful knight approaching the tent as he activated Void Realm and reappeared in the grasslands with the mountain in the far distance. Following that, he started walking toward it.

While doing that he checked the monster's total and was surprised as he was halfway on the first group of void creatures.

[Void Bloodhawk – 6211/10000]

[Haast's Void Eagle - 456/5000]

[???????????]

[???????????]

'Nearly halfway, this shouldn't take too long,'

Atlas thought as the excitement swelled up inside him.

That's when the screech rang out causing him to glance up as a swarm of Void Bloodhawks swooping down. He chuckled before casting dozens of Void Bullets into the horde of monsters and exploded.

The azure flames wiped out dozens of monsters who were sent plummeting toward the ground and hitting it with a sickening thud. Following that, Atlas continued sending his spells into the Bloodhawks and whittling down their numbers causing the rest to scatter.

He continued battling the monsters until the Haast Eagles started attacking causing him to bob and weave around their creatures. Hours passed and he returned to the real world after a group of Bloodhawks swamped him.

He opened his eyes to see the two moons hanging in the sky, a smile spreading across his face as he stretched. Noticing that the women were still asleep, he quietly pulled up the monster total.

[Void Bloodhawk – 8778/10000]

[Haast's Void Eagle - 711/5000]

Following that Atlas smiled before activating the skill again but this time he was more tired as he put down more monsters using his magic. While doing that he quickly noticed a new enemy rushing in his direction.

'Oh fuck! These things look l like nightmares!'

He recognized the creature as a Kenku, a humanoid crow wielding two blades. Before Atlas could react, the Kenku struck with surprising speed, causing him to yelp in shock. Instinctively, he drew his swords to deflect the blows.

The force of the attacks pushed against him, his arms straining under the pressure. Atlas gritted his teeth, determined to push through this creature, and managed to cast Void Wave which sent the Kenku flying.

That's when more rushed in causing him to start to fight seriously as all three monsters attacked from all sides. Atlas found it difficult to keep up, especially with the devious Kenkus who kept stabbing him from behind.

''Devious bastards,'' he hissed while killing one of the crow men with a slash.

As this kept happening he got angry and transformed into his Voidwalker Form, and tore the creatures apart with ease. Atlas continued killing the monsters, until running out of mana and returning to the real world.

When Atlas woke, the weight of exhaustion hit him all at once, and he slumped down, feeling drained. He pulled out some blankets, stacking them near the fire, then curled up beneath the starry sky.

Within moments, he drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep. The following morning, he woke up and let out a loud yawn, which caused the women to giggle as Nulia commented in a cheery voice, ''Morning sleepyhead, how was your sleep?''

Atlas glanced at the brown-skinned beauty who was tending to the raging fire and smiled while noticing the others were nowhere to be seen. He sat up and stretched while asking, ''Where is everyone?''

''Grishna took Estelle hunting, Artemis is still asleep, and Amethyst is out scouting the area,'' Nulia explained with a bright smile.

She then offered him some breakfast, her eyes shining with warmth, ''Here eat some Giant Mammoth meat, it will give you strength.''

Atlas thanked the Frostbear woman before he started eating, the meat was seasoned with something he didn't know but enjoyed anyway, while the two of them were doing that he asked, ''In an hour, do you want to help me in the Void Realm?''

Nulia's blue eyes landed on him and nodded, ''That would be good Azhar'Zul, by the way, your eye is beautiful and that arm is something from the legends.''

He lifted it, his armor fading away as he revealed the object. It began to glow with an aura of void mana, captivating the two onlookers. Nulia's eyes widened in awe before she shook her head, a grin spreading across her face.

''I can't wait to see what it can do. Maybe it even has a special power,'' she said, her voice filled with excitement.

Atlas chuckled when hearing this before checking on the monster total to see how many he needed to complete the level.

[Void Bloodhawk – 8912/10000]

[Haast's Void Eagle - 791/5000]

[Void Kenku - 081/2500]

[???????????]

'This should go quick with Nulia's help,'

he mused.

Following that, the couple continued talking with Atlas asking, ''What are your goals in life Nulia?''

Her blue eyes landed on him as she answered with a sweet smile, ''To live peacefully and not worry about the darkness covering the world.''

Atlas nodded in understanding, but his attention was suddenly drawn to a series of explosions echoing in the distance. He jumped to his feet, eyes narrowing with concern. ''Do you think the girls are up against something powerful?'' he asked.
