The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 578 - Shock!

The four of them looked at Athan with hot gazes as they now could believe his words since he swore a chaos oath.

However, his next words made them want to bang their heads.

"However, the condition is that you become my underlings."

"Humph! You are just zen order elite, and we can crush you in seconds! However, by telling us that you have such valuable things that can guarantee us to breakthrough to Chaos king-realm, you have landed yourself in trouble, hehehe."

"You will have to present that to us right now if you don't want to die," Gouken spoke as he conjured a large purple and gold burning orb on his hand that pulsed with destructive power.

Yoha and others also had greed visible in their eyes.

However, Athan ignored the threat entirely and continued with a smile, "You will have to become my underlings by swearing a chaos oath that you will never betray me and do anything I say. Of course, I will not order to you die or intentionally sacrifice you for my gain because I need pawns that are alive and not dead."

Hearing those words, Yoha and others obviously became angry. After all, being told to become underlings and pawns would indeed feel bad.

"I will make you powerful, and in turn, you will work for me," Athan said with a carefree smile on that face.

"One minute," Yoha coldly spoke, "If you don't give us the things that can make us breakthrough to Chaos king realm, we will kill you."

She and others also conjured their terrifying attacks like Gouken and aimed at Athan.

'Primo, use Netherly Frost and destroy their attacks.'

'Only their attacks? not them?'

'Only their attacks.'

"If you don't swear an oath about what I just said, then I will kill you," Athan said with a smile before he waved his right hand.

Yoha and others felt absurd hearing Athan's words, but the next second they felt a severe chill in their body and soul, and their attacks were doused...like a tiny matchstick's flame being drowned by a bucket of water.

"W-what happened?" Tamiril uttered with horror.

Yoha and others felt a deathly chill crawling in them as they looked at Athan.

"It looks like now you know that the tables have turned. Well, you had no chance since the beginning anyway," Athan said nonchalantly with a grin, "You just picked up the wrong person to rob."

Yoha and others felt a clear threat of death from the previous chill and knew they had hit a silver plate.

'Why the fuck someone powerful like that is here? We are in goddamn lower-chaosverse right now!'

'What should we do now?'

'With that power, he can clearly kill us. Whatever you want to do, I don't want to die!' Tamiril said before she kneeled and begged towards Athan.

"I am willing to do anything, so please don't kill me. I-I will say that chaos oath right now!" Tamiril spoke before he swore the chaos oath while looking at Athan.

"I hereby swear a chaos oath that I will do anything you say and will never betray you. I will do anything you say except for the order that can lead me to my death."

Yoha, Gouken, and Foujir looked at each other with a gleam in their eyes.

'Since Tamiril jumped to the gun, we can use this chance to confirm a few things. After all, who knows if that person used some kind of artifact that can only target chaotic powers? Anything is possible.'

'Yeah, he also can't order Tamiril to attack us because that be would her courting death with 3v1, and she said in her oath that he can't order to do things that can lead her to death.'

'True.'

Athan looked at them with an interesting smile on his face before he beckoned Tamiril to come towards him, "Come here."

Tamiril didn't hesitate and arrived in front of Athan.

"I hereby swear a chaos oath that I will not do anything that can harm you or order you to do things that can lead you to your death...as long as you abide by your chaos oath."

Hearing that, Tamiril was surprised, 'This almost equal level of oath exchange except that I have to obey his orders as long as they do not lead me to death. Well, I am fine with that as long as I get to be powerful under him.'

'Primo, create a wall of Netherly frost around us.'

'Roger.'

*Fuuuuuuuu....*

With a burst of deathly chill, Netherly frost released from Athan's body, but Primo properly controlled it as a wall formed around with Athan and Tamiril inside.

Seeing that, Yoha and others started sweating because it means that he can indeed use that mystical power again and freely at that.

"Yoha, h-he can indeed kill us that power," Fourjir spoke as he gulped in nervousness.

"Should we just escape?" Gouken spoke as he wiped off the chilly sweat from his face.

Yoha frowned and shook her head, "No. We might not be able to escape even if we run. However, he swore that oath as well, so he is not planning to kill us but to use us. Now I just wonder what he is doing inside the square wall?"

"Maybe he is satisfying himself using Tamiril's body? After all, she has to obey all of his orders except for the ones that can lead her to death," Gouken speculated.

"Idiots! My master has more beautiful women by his side," Primo appeared in front of them and spoke with anger, "You fools who are given grace by my master, prepare to take the same chaos oath and serve him well if you want to rise high!"

At this time, the square wall of Netherly frost disappeared as Yoha and others saw Athan and Tamiril again.

But they were stunned, and their jaw dropped to the ground when they saw Tamiril's unstable aura that clearly indicated that she could breakthrough to Chaos King-realm any time!

Athan had used Touch of Transcendent and Seed of Transcedency on Tamiril.
