The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 60: End of the Examination.

[ It is finally time for the final round. ]

[ Those who pass this round will be enrolled into the Myriad Stars Academy and get chances to obtain power and knowledge. ]

[ The Final round is the most simple round, But also the most important one at the same time. ]

[ The specific content of the round will be a secret but the key to passing the round is not power nor knowledge, That's all. Good luck everyone.]

[ The Final round will start after 10 seconds.]

Hearing about such a mysterious round, people were surprised and started to talk about it.

" So mysterious? I wonder what will be the content of the round that doesn't require power or knowledge. "

" Indeed, I feel like..."

...

Athan and Tiana were also startled.

" Let's hope it's not too ridiculous..." Tiana muttered and thought, ' Since it doesn't require power or knowledge, will they check our character ? or mentality? '

Athan nodded in agreement with Tiana and spoke with a smile, " Let's just do our best. "

....

Just as it hit [0] Everything turned dark.

Athan looked around and found himself in a sinister dark place that gave of an eerie feeling.

*kre kre kre kre kre*

A cracking sound could be heard as a terrifying pressure descends upon Athan.

Sweat started to form on his face and his eyes had mixed emotions of confusion and slight fear, ' What the bloody fvck is this presence? My legs are turning jelly without my control...'

Athan shook his head and regained clear eyes with no fear but he could not move because his body was out of his control due to feeling something very threatening.

He could feel something behind him so he tried his best to turn around and when he finally turned his face to the other side...

????????????????????????????????

" This...what the heck is that? " The shock and palpitation he felt could not be described as he saw the creature in front of him.

The creature had an oval shape with countless eyes all on its face and innumerable tentacles on its body.

The cracking sound came from its mouth which was breaking and eating an object...

Athan's body was feeling primal fear looking at that aberration and as he looked carefully he shockingly realized and recognized the object that was being eaten by it.

' That's...a planet. '

The distance between Athan and what he was seeing was too vast so Athan could not recognize it instantly.

But the oval-shaped creature with countless tentacles on its body and numerous eyes on its face was eating a planet.

The planet looked like a round marble inside its mouth and it was eaten in a few minutes.

Athan slowly calmed down and thought, ' So what is the 3rd round? Watching this creature eating planet? '

He had already regained control of his body in this menacing presence.

" What do we have to do to pass this round? " Athan spoke, hoping to receive an answer.

*chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*

Athan was startled to hear the loud cry of the creature as it started to move forward.

' Is it running? But why? ' Athan thought confusedly but after a second, his confused thoughts were wiped away instantly as he stood there petrified.

He involuntary started to tremble because the creature that just had eaten a planet got...eaten by another creature.

If you want to compare their sizes, then the oval creature that ate the planet had the size of a dolphin, and the creature who ate that oval creature had the size of a blue whale.

Athan's mind went blank and after some time he thought of a single word ' is that fvcking real? '

' It's scary...but there is no need to feel scared because...death is the same. If that massive creature eats you, then you will die, and you will similarly die if you are shot in the head. So why need to feel scared of such terrifying beings? '

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he suddenly thought of a fact, ' If what I saw was real, how did humans even record that? could it be that...'

Just then, The scenery in front of him changed as he arrived on the grassy plains.

Tiana was also there and her eyes still had fear in it but with fear was also the conviction of something.

[ Congratulations to everyone for passing the last round. ]

[ Yes, You all heard it right. Everyone who passed the 2nd round was already selected to enter The Myriad Stars Academy. ]

[ The 3rd round was to show you all the enemy of our humankind, They are those massive creatures that cause mass destruction. ]

[ The real competition will start after you enter the Myriad Stars Academy. There are numerous people who think they are geniuses but, No one is genius right off the bat. There are many who are also late bloomers, If you want to reach the top and find a new peak thereafter, Then you all have to work hard. That's why we have increased the acceptance rate of students. ]

[ But don't rejoice too early, If you want to get more resources and more knowledge in the Academy, then you have to earn it. If you can't keep up with peers and do not meet our criteria regularity then you will be expelled from the Academy. ]

[ Because after all, Our Aim is to groom elites humans. ]

[ We will be departing to the Myriad Stars Academy after an hour and will reach there after a month, Until then you all can spend your days in this Virtual World. ]

[ For 1 month, We will unlock various Training Facilities for everyone inside the Virtual World. You can increase your proficiency in spells and combat there. ]

Everyone was dumbfounded hearing all these announcements but soon after that, Loud roars of excitement reverberated everywhere.

Tiana was also very excited compared to Athan who was not too excited but curious about the training facilities mentioned in the announcement.

A few more options appeared in front of Athan's display.

[ Combat Arena ]

[ Dungeons ]

[ Spell Testing Hall ]

[ Exit ]

" So these are the new facilities, They certainly sound interesting. " muttering this, He said to Tiana who was also looking at something in the display in front of her, " I'm going to try the Combat Arena, You can also try that. I think it will match us up with random people to fight which will help us get more fighting experience. "

Tiana nodded her had thoughtful as Both of them started [ Combat Arena ]

[ Matching in process. ]

[ Opponent found. ]

After that, Athan arrived in an unfamiliar place. There were trees, rocks, and other things so it looked like a jungle.

[ Athan vs Gazil ]

[ Kill the other party to win. ]

[ You will be reward with a point if you can win 5 matches consequetively. ]

[ Your energies will be recovered to full after the match is finished. ]

[ Streaks ]

- Athan: 0

- Gazil: 0

After looking at instruction and information, Athan erected a <Dark Barrier> and a <Light Barrier> around him.

He then sent out his psychic Energy outward to sense the surroundings.

After sensing for some time, Athan frowned and thought, ' Looks like my opponent also went defensive. '

' hehe since that's the case, I will attack. '

He then flew up using <Lightning Arial Wings> and started to look around.

When his gaze swept to the west, He noticed something and dashed in that direction.

Just as he was getting near to that spot, He saw a blue-colored thing shot towards him at a high speed.

*swoosh*

It was an arrow of water that was also coated with lightning energy as it had electricity in it.

After dodging that arrow, Athan muttered after looking at a certain spot, " So you are there huh. "

*swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh*

At this time, Three arrows came at once towards him but Athan formed a <Light Barrier> around him to block them instead of dodging.

' Since our energies will be recovered then I might as well go all out. '

After deciding that, He used <Myriad Prison> of Earth Element but poured more than usual energy to make it a bit bigger and tougher and then dropped it towards the spot where the arrows came from.

He made it bigger in the hope to not give his opponent the chance to run. If he formed smaller <Myriad Prison> Then his opponent might run away after sensing it.

" Well, We'll see if he is trapped in it or not. " saying this, He started throwing <Dark Bubbles> towards the two mouths of demons which were atop the Earth prison.

He didn't stop and threw countless <Dark Bubbles> not holding back on his Dark energy at all.

After a minute though....

[ Congratulations! You have defeated Gazil ]

[ Streak: 1 ]

[ Your Energy has been fully recovered so, Would you like to continue and find a new opponent? Yes or No? ]

Athan pressed [Yes] and it only took few seconds to get matched with a new opponent.

The scenery changed as this time, He arrived in a Gladiator Arena which was not that big.

It looked like those colosseums of Ancient times.

[ Athan vs Revera ]

[ Kill the other party to win. ]

[ You will be reward with a point if you can win 5 matches consecutively. ]

[ Your energies will be recovered to full after the match is finished. ]

[ Streaks ]

Athan: 1

Revera: 1

Athan thought after looking at the opponent in front of him. ' This will be a straightforward fight...'
