TALE OF THE COLD EMPEROR - Season 2 Episode 72

When Athan and the group entered the gate, They were surprised to find that the castle was way bigger than what it showed from outside.

But something happened that produced worry in Athan’s heart; Right after they entered the castle, Everyone separated and appeared at different places, and Athan even failed to sense them using his soul technique.

” They should have fifty percent of their geno energy left, and if they move carefully, I doubt anything will happen to them. ” Athan nodded while murmuring, ‘ They have gained some experience, so I am sure they can take care of themselves. ‘

He then looked around and saw two more beings here in this big hall with five pathways connected to it.

They didn’t bother with each other and moved in different pathways. Athan also chose a pathway and started moving.

Wearing the horned crown, He had activated all four of blood magic as he was covered in blood armor with two blood-red flaming wings behind his back and three orbs floating around him. His hands were covered in blood gauntlets, ready to thrash anyone that blocks his path.

He also used Wisp O’ Thunderous as many wisps were flying around him in a ten-meter radius.

He exited the pathway and arrived in another hall with a golden treasure chest in the middle, but along with him, Five more people arrived here from the pathways connected to this hall containing the treasure chest.

Everyone stopped moving as they eyed each other warily.

One by one, The pathways were blocked by walls that appeared out of nowhere.

Athan frowned and thought, ‘ Looks like this castle is promoting killing. Nobody would let the other get the treasure chest, so they will definitely fight. ‘

The other five beings beside Athan were a Human race woman, a Dision race man, a Terred race woman, a Blumbra race man, and an Amarphy race man.

” I don’t want this treasure, so I’ll watch. When one of you gets the treasure chest, I am sure the pathways will open, so at that time, I’ll simply leave. ”

The human race woman, who had long black hair with 6ft height and a slim body, spoke with a smile.

Athan was speechless and right away understood her intentions, but he didn’t think it would work.

‘ She likely wanted to reap benefits at the end since she will be uninjured while others fight with each other for chest. ‘

The Terred race woman snorted and said, ” Sure, Just make a contract that if you ever interfere in the fight or produced any intention or greed for the treasure chest, then your soul will scatter. ”

The woman’s face turned ugly hearing that, but she didn’t say anything while the others sneered at her.

Suddenly, Athan received a telepathic message from Talisha, ‘ We are both humans, so why don’t we work together? ‘

Athan thought for a second as he got an idea and said telepathically, ‘ Sure, Let’s work together. We’ll take out that dision race man beside you first. We both attack at the same time in three seconds. ‘

‘ 3 ‘

‘ 2 ‘

—Before he could count to one, His face changed because the Terred race woman and Blumbra race man attacked him at the same time.

He was not the only one as Talisha was also attacked by Dision race man and Amarphy race man.

Athan hurridly dodged Blumbra race man’s attack, but he didn’t have a way to dodge the spatial crimson slashes from Terred race woman, so he braced himself and blocked them.

His various blood magic spells were activated, and the blood barrier blocked one slash before it broke as other crimson slashes hit him. But was not injured since his Blood Magic: Vindication Covenant was showing its full power as Athan consumed his energy.

The blood inside his body boiled, and he felt catastrophic power coursing through his body.

With a flap of his blood flame wings, He disappeared and grabbed the neck of the Terred race woman, who revealed a terrifying look before he punched her with his other hand as her head burst into a red mess.

Seeing this, Blumbra race man’s face turned light blue as he hurriedly shouted, ” Rule domain condense. ”

His body increased in size as dark blue liquid appeared all over his body before forming a solid armor as dark blue sparks appeared all over his body that exuded terrifying force.

Athan didn’t back down seeing this and instantly dashed towards him with Chasm severing in his hand and slashed his neck away. His speed had become his second-best advantage over others since he got Blood Magic: Unbound Covenant and completed the full blood magic. His first best advantage obviously being the genome power.

Talisha was ambushed, and she managed to survive two attacks, but she still died by the Dision race man’s second attack.

Among the people present here, excluding Athan, The Dision race man turned out to be the most powerful.

After seeing Athan killing the Blumbra race man so effortlessly despite the latter condensing his rule domain, The other two warily looked at him.

Athan smiled and said, ” Your turn. ”

” WAIT! ” The Amarphy race man shouted, and right after that, he instantly formed a contract that he would not have any greedy thoughts about the treasure chest and will not interfere in the fight.

The Dision race man’s face turned ugly at this, but he didn’t want to give up on the treasure chest, so he attacked Athan right away.

Several small starry orbs materialized as they shot towards Athan in super fast speed.

Athan knew he couldn’t dodge, so he braced himself for the attack as he was pushed back several steps but managed to come out unscathed, ‘ Damn, Looks like I am really a tough nut to crack now. ‘ Athan thought with a grin.

His body had become so much stronger lately. First, his body was strengthened by unique primal energy from the unima core, and after that, His body was refined by blood magic energy after he completed the magic series. But most importantly, The horned crown strengthened his entire being to a ridiculous level that made him on par with peak beings in this layer and even stronger bodily strength-wise.

To make it even more ridiculous, He ceased to receive damage from others at this layer after he got complete blood magic. At most, He would be slightly damaged by the people who use offensive Rule condense power on him.

Athan released hundred Wisp O’ Thunderous towards the Dision race man who managed to kill many of them, but Athan wasn’t idle after that as he also threw both of his chakrams from different directions.

The chasm severing in his hand wasn’t consumed that much to kill that Blumbra race man, so he exchanged places with his chakrams after exploding the remaining Wisp O’ thunderous to disturb the surrounding space due to its destructive lightning storms and threw his chasm severing towards the dision race who showed despair in his eyes.

The Blumbra race man’s eyes were widened seeing how Athan toyed with the Dision race man by constantly exchanging his places with his chakrams that always appeared in eccentric places from time to time and finally killed him with that purple slash.

‘ HOLY CRAP…If I didn’t hurriedly back down and formed the contract, my fate would have been the same. ‘

Athan slowly walked towards the treasure chest without paying any heed to the trembling Blumbra race man.

He touched the golden treasure chest as it shined brightly before the lid on it disappeared and revealed a small thing.

A Cube that was shining in gold, dark orange, and green. Athan picked up the cube before it disappeared and appeared inside his soul realm.

[ Congratulations, You have received a peak-grade Spirit Rule Enchantment. ]

” Spirit rule Enchantment? What’s that? ” Athan murmured.

After Athan received the treasure, The pathways once again opened. Seeing this, Blumbra race man was overjoyed as he instantly dashed towards the closest pathway.

” Wait..” Athan shouted towards the Blumra race man before dashing towards him with a flap of his wings.

The Blumbra race man’s heart turned cold when he saw Athan appearing in front of him and said in a trembling voice, ” Wh-what do you want? ”

Athan didn’t waste time and directly asked, ” What is spirit rule enchantment? ”

The Blumbra race man felt weird because it was common knowledge, but he didn’t dare to slight Athan and hurriedly answered, ” It is used to strengthen our Armament spirits in the Spirit Astride Plane. ”

Athan frowned and thought, ‘ Seeing his face; It should be common knowledge. Hmm…Is the treasure I got not that impressive? ‘

He took out the thing he got and showed it to the man before asking, ” What do you think about this thing? ”

The Blumbra race man’s eyes shone with greed, but he didn’t have the guts to do anything, so he obediently answered, ” Th-this is a highest grade spirit rule enchantment filled with pure offensive power. ”

Athan smiled and took back the treasure inside his soul realm, ‘ Looks like it is a good thing. ‘ He then continued to on the path as he ignored the Blumbra race man who just sighed and turned back.

He didn’t want to walk in the same pathway as Athan, so he went back to the hall and entered a different pathway.
