The Tale of the Void Emperor - Chapter 798: Rage-1

“Tiana and Sen, Lord Morax will not wait any longer,” the violet-haired lady spoke.

“Cronia,” Tiana looked at the busty lady with violet hair with a frown and shook her head, “we will not agree to this.”

“Go away!” Sen lashed out angrily, “this is how you repay us? Even if we didn’t do anything ground-breaking, we did our best in the Grand Meet.”

Cronia sighed and shook her head, “Lord Morax is one of the most powerful people in Outrious Expanse. Your life will be set once you become his concubines.”

Hearing that, a cold glint passed in both Tiana’s and Sen’s eyes, “Mark our words, Cronia. That bastard Morax will die a cruel death!”

Cronia raised her eyebrows, but she didn’t bother to argue with them and asked one last time, “I am asking you one last time.”

“Morax will never have his wish come true,” Tiana said with resolve in her eyes, “if you force us, then we will die.”

“Don’t do something so useless,” Chronia spoke indifferently, “Your soul will not escape this palace even if you die. Lord Morax will capture your souls, create a new body for you, alter your memories, and revive you. But since he had decided to make you two his concubines, then there’s no changing to that fact. You will live as his concubines and die as his concubines.”

Sen let out a despairing laugh as she spoke, “then we will destroy our souls. You think we can’t?”

“our deaths will be the beginning of your nightmare,” Tiana spoke while gritting her teeth.

Both Tiana and Sen didn’t waste a single second as they already used Outrious Potency and their powers to set it such that they could destroy their souls in an instant.

“That is not happening,” Cronia spoke as she shook her head and sighed, but suddenly, she released an overwhelming soul attack known as Starous Soul Knock and knocked their souls unconscious.

Yes, Cronia had soul-related Outrious Power, and it was an A-tier Outrious power called Soul Dimensional Severence.

Afterward, Cronia put both of her hands on Tiana’s and Sen’s foreheads as they had now fallen on the bed.

‘Hmm?’ Cronia was surprised, ‘their souls are strange…power-wise, they are weak, but their structure…hmmm, something is mysterious about them. I need to study them first before trying to alter their memories. Tsk…lord Tarox also announced the ceremony to be held after eight hours, but I don’t know if I will be able to finish this task before that.’

‘I’ll have to tell Lord Tarox to hold some other event first before starting the ceremony.’

Suddenly, she got contacted as she took out a comm crystal and asked, “what’s the matter?”

“Lady Cronia, there are three people at the gate, saying that they have some matters to talk to Lord Morax related to Tiana and Sen. Since you are in charge of looking after lady Tiana and lady Sen, I contacted you.”

Hearing that, Cronia looked at Tiana and Sen before wondering, ‘for Tiana and Sen? Are they her relatives? If they can convince both of them, then it would ease this troublesome matter of altering their memories in their strange souls.’

“I’ll be there right away,” Cronia said as she left the room and locked it.

…

Athan’s heart was beating fast because he had a bad premonition while waiting at the Gates. Currently, he, Nia, and Hojan had arrived at the gate with a plan after talking with Raizor. Athan had worn his Void Mask to stop his emotions and aura from spilling out if he failed to control them.

“Wait here,” the guard spoke indifferently, “Lady Cronia is coming here.”

‘Athan, calm down. We still have time,’ Hojan spoke, ‘don’t do anything reckless that will result in all three of us getting killed.’

Athan didn’t say anything as he just looked at the palace door, which was closed.

But after a few seconds, large palace doors opened as Cronia came out and walked towards the gates.

“What’s the matter?” Cronia asked as she looked at Athan, Nia, and Hojan, “what business do you have with Tiana and Sen?”

“They are our relatives, and since it’s such a joyous occasion about them becoming concubines of Lord Tarox, then we wanted to meet them,” Nia spoke with a smile.

‘Relatives?’ Chronia was surprised, ‘maybe they can convince Tiana and Sen? Their souls are mutated by something, and It’s going to be a pain in the neck to study their souls and then alter their memories.’

‘Such presence…,’ Hojan thought as he looked at Cronia, ‘so City Lord Morax’s right-hand person is indeed a Fear-level powerhouse.’

After all, it was very rare for a Fear plane powerhouse to be under another Fear plane powerhouse.

“Follow me,” Cronia said as she rubbed her temples, “I have some task for you to complete as well.”

After saying that, Cronia spoke, “open the gates.”

“Yes, Lady Cronia,” the guards nodded as they opened the gates.

‘Task?’ Athan frowned, but he still followed Cronia into the palace as his first priority was to meet up with Tiana and Sen.

If he did anything recklessly, then there was a chance that they would use Tiana and Sen against him since both of them were technically hostages in this place.

Athan didn’t believe one bit that Tiana and Sen agreed to this bull shit concubine thing.

However, he didn’t want to recklessly charge inside the palace since he didn’t consider people of such a grand and powerful place as brainless idiots.

He was afraid that they would know about his intention if he charged here right after they announced so-called bullshit joyous news.

After following Cronia for a while, they arrived in front of a room door and entered inside with Cronia.

“They are inside.”

…

On the other hand, Raizor was also waiting with sweaty palms in his Castle, “Athan…don’t do anything reckless. I don’t want you and your wives to die there.”

He was waiting for them to meet Morax so that he and Morax could come to a deal that he planned.

Raizor thought of something reasonable so he hoped that Morax would agree to it as it would also save his face even if he didn’t follow up with his ceremony.
