The Walker Of Voids



"Well, that was a close one, am I right?" A knight asked while looking back at the group of instructors who were all on the floor, panting and having already given up on their lives when they saw the beam shoot through the wall of skeletons.

However, unbeknownst to them, someone was watching the fight the entire.

The knight had appeared before them a moment before they were about to die, and with a single swing, he pierced through the beam of energy shooting toward them and sliced it in half.

The sword image shot through the air and split the beam in half before smashing into Cthulhu, yet after slicing through the beam, it didn't have enough energy to do any damage against the monster.

*"Impressive. A human capable of destroying my destruction beam?"* Cthulhu laughed, but when he felt the power coming out of the human, he quickly froze in place.

"You must be Cthulhu... Nice to meet you." The man grinned and shot forward with all the power he could channel into his legs.

The moment he shot forward, he appeared in front of Cthulhu with his blade about his head, readying himself to slice down with everything he had.

However, Cthulhu wasn't slow either.

No... Cthulhu had something only 1 or 2 humans in the entirety of the Solaris empire had.

He had a third eye.

Suddenly, a slit appeared on his forehead before it opened up, revealing a third and incredibly powerful eye to the surroundings.

To him, it looked like the world had paused. Everything was frozen, and he could see the flow of mana in everyone's body.

Yet, due to how strong his third eye was, there was something else he felt.

He thought the void walker had run away after their fight because he thought he couldn't handle Cthulhu's power, but that was simply not the case.

And now that he was looking down at himself, he finally understood why that void walker had run...

It was because he had already won.

Cthulhu heard rumors of the void walker being able to absorb the mana and life force of the creatures they killed to cultivate their cores. Of course, void walkers were ancient creatures just like him, so their cultivation method was a lot more different than the methods the new generation of races used.

Of course, the killing method wasn't their main form of cultivation. They had another form of cultivation where they tapped into the void and sucked the energy out of it, but that wasn't the point.

Now that Cthulhu had a third eye, he could see a void flame inside his heart. Sure, the katana had been destroyed by his body and absorbed into his bloodstream, yet he thought that without the weapon, the flame couldn't burn...

Well, he was clearly wrong.

The flame had balled itself into a small ball, sucking in all the energy around it and even taking little bits of his life force with it.

'That bastard didn't run away. He planted a bomb inside me that's going to activate once these humans weaken me...' Cthulhu gritted his teeth, yet he also had another plan in mind, yet it would have to wait.

Cthulhu's hand was a blur as it appeared before the human and punched his entire body with a single swing.

The sword was unable to touch Cthulhu's body, but they both knew that if it did, it would have probably created a lethal cut.

However, now that Cthulhu could essentially see everything from mana channels to the flow of mana in the air, it became easy to see through the movements of the humans.

He could not see the spells before they were created and react to abilities before they were activated.

However, there was one thing that made the third eye so terrifying.

And that was its ability to copy the spells of others as long as the user has an affinity with them. And since Cthulhu was a creature of darkness, he naturally had an affinity to two of the instructor's spells... Or at least that's what they looked like to him.

*"How do you humans say it again?"* Cthulhu grinned as the knight was shot into the atmosphere, almost reaching space before being able to stop himself.

He was a third commandment in the gold body stage, making him much more powerful than most of the instructors combined.

Mirage was probably the only one who stood a chance against him, but that made sense.

The knight wasn't an instructor. He was a soldier barely 20 years of age.

He was a genius, and everyone knew it, even Cthulhu, despite having known several humans in the past who were capable of destroying the knight with a single glance despite being younger than him.

Actually, on his home planet, there was one boy who surpassed even that... They used to call him the architect, yet he had no idea how the boy was now.

"Arise!" Cthulhu spoke in the human language, making all of them widen their eyes in surprise since they all knew what such a word meant.

Suddenly, all of Cthulhu's fallen soldiers began to stand up... No, it was just that. They were regaining the power they lost at a terrifying pace that probably rivaled his own.

"He's using necromancy!" The necromancer woman spoke, her eyes empty, yet fear could be seen etched into her face.

She was terrified, but that was normal.

Who wouldn't be terrified after seeing such a display? Not only had he taken her ability to raise the dead, but he had also somehow improved on it.

"Not so fast." A figure shot down at Cthulhu with the grace of a meteor.

Suddenly, an extremely bright light took over his body and shrouded him in it, making it seem like he was a figure of light rather than one shrouded in it.

He looked like a bright golden star falling from the sky, yet in the next moment, even Cthulhu widened his eyes as an enormous golden greatsword appeared out of thin air and swung at Cthulhu's third eye.

Cthulhu opened his mouth and let out a beam of pure dark energy that clashed with the blade, yet it was much more powerful than the one before.

The sword struggled to cut through, but that also meant that the beam of darkness was struggling to break through the knight's defenses.

The dark beam of energy shot in two directions after hitting the sharp edge of the blade, splitting into and shooting into the sky, where it pierced the clouds.

One shot at one of the planet's moons, creating a crater large enough for the human eye to see from so far away.

The other one simply shot into space and dissipated after reaching a few miles away from the planet.

If Cthulhu had been in the third commandment, he would have sliced right through the moon, but he was still in the topaz stage despite his power saying otherwise.

Cthulhu was running out of energy pretty quickly, however. The advantage of having a higher commandment was that they usually had much more energy than the lower commandments, even though an ancient creature like Cthulhu had enough power to rival someone of a much higher commandment.

However, the same could not be said about Lloyd, who, as a void walker, had an enormous mana pool that was much higher than any of his peers. That added to the fact that he had a celestial class, also meant that his mana pool would probably even exceed that of an ancient creature an entire commandment above his.

Of course, Lloyd never realized this because the only times he had run out of mana had been right after awakening, and right after defeating Veronica.

After the knight saw that he was fighting an equal battle, he quickly understood that killing Cthulhu would take much more than raw power...

It would take skill and mastery of the sword art to do such a thing, yet Cthulhu also knew that.

Since Cthulhu was an ancient monster millions of years old, one of the things he had going for him was the fact that his mastery of mana control as well as his ability to read the movements of others, was much stronger than some twenty-year-old child.

They both narrowed their eyes at the same time, yet their plans were completely different.

Dissipating his spell, the knight shot down, at a speed that the dark energy beam struggled to keep up with.

However, when the knight reached the same height as Cthulhu, he activated his ability again, creating the golden sword of light once more and slicing toward Cthulhu's face.

What he had done was essentially what most Jedi from the star wars movies hadn't done.

It deactivated and activated his blade, essentially bypassing the rules that a normal sword would have had.

At the same time, several ships shot out of the skies and landed within a 20-mile radius.

Soldiers of all kinds began walking out of the ships while shooting spells or catapulting themselves at Cthulhu.

"Ready?" Benjamin asked while looking at the three behind him. He was going to ask one of his sons to come along, but after seeing the videos again, he had chosen not to.

The battle looked far too dangerous, and Layla would have definitely killed him if he had brought one of them along.

Behind him were three adults, each one of them wearing an armor that fit their battle styles to a certain extent.

Olivia wore a metallic-looking robe that fit her class of that used nothing but fists and magic.

Ruben wore a heavy armor that fit his heavy hitting combat techniques, while Noah wore an armor that made him look like a samurai. without the helmet.

Benjamin himself was wearing a knight's armor similar to that of Ruben's yet Ruben's armor was far stronger than Benjamin's.

Cthulhu saw the humans come in, and he finally grinned.
