Level Up: Voidwalker

Atlas was hiding in the tree branches above the group of Tarrasques who were going crazy, as they couldn't find him. They destroyed trees and searched for a while before he cast a Void Lance that pierced through the skull of the monster.

He watched the monster vanish back into the Void Realm as the others looked up at him with rage-filled red eyes. They let out roars before attacking the bottom of the tree he was in, causing Atlas to cast several Void Bombs into the group.

An explosion erupted and wiped them out as he used Void Step to get off the branch, but that's when something hit him from behind. He yelped as some pierced his back and something bit down on his shoulder.

'Arghh fuck! Damn monsters!'

Atlas gritted his teeth before casting Void Wave that knocked the unknown monster off him. He twisted around and noticed a black theropod the size of a horse and its glowing red eyes stared at him.

The creature resembled a smaller, sleeker Tarrasque, faster, more agile, and far more deadly in appearance. The sight of it sent chills racing down his spine. Without hesitation, he activated Void Sight to scan the creature to find out what it was.

[Void Shadow Tarrasque]

[Rank B]

Atlas gulped when he saw this, but the monster lunged forward and tried to bite down on him. He sidestepped this attack and quickly hit it with a Void Smash. When his fist connected with the creature's head, it exploded into meat chunks.

'Seems like they can't stand up against that,' he thought with an excited smile.

Moments later, more monsters lunged at him in a combined attack, which took him by surprise. Atlas evaded a flurry of strikes while countering with explosive punches that sent the creatures hurtling through the dense jungle undergrowth.

However, amidst the chaos, the massive tail of a larger Tarrasque slammed into him with devastating force, launching him through the trees like a rag doll. Atlas quickly woke up in bed with Nulia hugging his body.

While feeling this, he quickly checked the monster total to see how many monsters he had killed during his session in the Void Realm.

[Void Tarrasque - 134/1000]

[Void Shadow Tarrasque - 23/500]

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

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

'These monsters will be useful just like the Kenku's. I can use them as siege engines,' he mused as his eyes closed as he grew tired.

Atlas grinned before pulling her closer and kissing her on the forehead as he got comfortable. The exhaustion kicked him and he soon fell asleep as the weather outside was slowly calming down.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The next morning, a deep rumble of thunder woke Atlas up, flashes of lightning briefly illuminating his room. Groggy but restless, he dragged himself out of bed and shuffled toward the treehouse's bathroom.

As he stepped inside, a wave of warm, humid air greeted him, wrapping around his skin and drawing a comfortable sigh from his lips. Atlas stepped inside and started getting undressed before slipping into the hot water.

Following that, Atlas relaxed as the aches vanished, and he felt at peace while resting his head back as thunder boomed high above the Otherworld. 'It was slowing down last night, but it's only got worse,' he mused.

While relaxing, the door opened, causing him to spot Artemis wearing a nightgown that stopped just above her knees. Atlas's lust ignited, but he shook his head, ''Morning beautiful, I know this is random, but I love your freckles.''

''Thank you,'' her face went red, but she still smiled. ''Can I join you, please?''

Atlas nodded as he spoke in a cheerful voice. ''Of course, I was just resting. The Void Realm took a lot from me during my last go at it.''

The brunette beamed before slipping into the bath after stripping off. He didn't miss the scene of her dropping her dress, revealing her slender athletic figure and perky boobs which turned him on.

He shook his head and closed his eyes as Artemis teased, ''You can look handsome. I don't bite unless that's something you like.''

Atlas chuckled before answering, ''It's not that Fish, I don't want to break any promises. Amethyst's birthday is soon, so there isn't long to wait.''

She started laughing when hearing this while scooting closer to him as she responded with a frustrated expression, ''Don't you call me Fish. The others always do it and I want a special nickname for once.''

''What about Arty? It's rare and only I'd call you it?'' Atlas suggested with a smile.

The brunette beamed and nodded in agreement. ''Sounds good to me, I like it,'' she said.

Soon enough, Artemis climbed onto his lap and got comfortable as he traced lines on her smooth back, which relaxed the Siren woman. Following that, the two of them continued talking before they started washing each other.

Atlas had to control himself from jumping the gorgeous young woman who continued to tease him. Once the duo was done, they got dressed before leaving the bathroom and appeared in the chilly living room.

He sighed while approaching the fireplace and used Void Bullet to start a roaring fire that started warming up the room. Artemis giggled as she spoke. ''Do you want some tea, Atlas? It will warm you up.''

''Yes please,'' Atlas replied as he sat down and sunk into the comfortable cushions.

Following that, they settled into a peaceful quiet as Artemis went to work making them some tea while he watched the blue flames coming to life. 'Hopefully, this storm passes soon. I want to terrorize the empire,' he thought with a chuckle.

Ten minutes later, the brunette appeared beside him with a big smile as she commented, ''Here you go handsome, a silver for your thoughts?''

Atlas chuckled before answering the cheerful young woman. ''I wonder how long it will take us to cause the Achaemendians to retreat to Zarander.''

She sank onto his lap, cradling her cup in both hands as she shared her thoughts. ''It won't be easy, but freeing the Shadowfang Royal Family was just the beginning. I'm certain there are rebel groups scattered all over Astoria.''

Atlas exhaled deeply, lifting his cup to take a sip. The hot tea coursed through him, soothing and revitalizing his weary body. Another crash of thunder roared above, making Artemis flinch with a startled jolt.

He started laughing before hugging the brunette close while taking a blanket out of his storage and wrapping it around them. Artemis smiled as she finished her tea and cuddled up to him while closing her eyes.

''You're comfortable to hug my love, can we do this more?'' she asked in a tired voice.

''Of course, we can do it most nights if you like, but I'll have to do the same for the others,'' Atlas replied with a charming smile while playing with her soft hair. ''It's only fair, as I'd do the same for you.''

Artemis smiled when hearing, but gave a nod of understanding. ''That's only fair. At least we can cuddle. The Little Bird is afraid that one of us will take your virginity before she can. It's adorable.''

''I know, she told me it's something special in her tribe,'' he replied while stroking her back. ''Now let's rest. I'm warm and comfortable.''

The soothing warmth of the flames and the rhythmic popping of the logs lulled them into a peaceful silence. Slowly, Artemis's breathing evened out, her soft snores barely audible as she fell asleep.

Atlas's eyelids drooped, and moments later, he drifted off as well. Their figures were bathed in the gentle light of the roaring fire. The following days passed with him and the women trying to complete Level Six of the Void Realm.

They faced relentless challenges as Shadow Tarrasques ambushed them at every turn. The group struggled to hold their ground, but Estelle's quick reflexes and defensive prowess deflected the brunt of the surprise attacks.

Seizing the openings she created, Atlas unleashed his magic, obliterating the monstrous threats and clearing their path forward. The massive Tarrasques were getting easier to deal with as the group heard them coming.

Grishna and Artemis would create stone spikes behind the monster, and Atlas would use Void Smash on it. The force sent the Tarrasque to stumble back before falling onto the earth spells, which killed it instantly.

They started falling one by one as the smaller monsters lunged from the trees and grabbed Amethyst. She let out a scream before crashing into the ground below. Atlas sent her back to the real world while casting a Void bomb at the group that attacked her.

Once that was done, Atlas quickly checked the monster total to see how many they had killed on this run, which impressed him.

[Void Tarrasque - 211/1000]

[Void Shadow Tarrasque - 241/500]

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

Atlas grinned before seeing a Tarrasque rushing toward them. He quickly cast Void Lance and sent them flying at its legs.
