Level Up: Voidwalker

Atlas and the women ate a lovely dinner prepared by Estelle and Zena, who were happy to cook. While eating Artemis turned to him, ''When are you going to meet your parents? It's been years since you've been home,'' she asked.

He shrugged before suggesting, ''Maybe we can make our way to the Thalassia capital while destroying the empire along the way?''

''I heard there's a resistance who is fighting against the Achaemendians,'' Estelle received. ''I heard Southern Astoria is in chaos.''

Atlas looked at the blond while sipping on some ale before speaking. ''It doesn't matter. We will revel in chaos and cause the enemy some serious damage if we continue attacking them. They won't be able to keep up if we travel using my monsters.''

The seven women agreed and set out on their journey to the Thalassian capital to meet Atlas's adoptive parents and chaos for the empire. Following that, days passed as they traveled south, covering miles with every step.

As they ventured further, they encountered more challenges along the way. Grishna and Estelle, however, took advantage of the Dreadmaw Lions, riding them to race across the rugged landscape with incredible speed, leaving the others to follow at a more steady pace.

''Handsome! We have an empire camp coming up. Do you want us to attack it like the last one?'' the Orc woman questioned in an excited voice.

Atlas chuckled at her before answering, ''Yes, I and Raymond will hit them from the top while the others circle around and attack from behind.''

Following that, Amethyst let out a piercing screech before diving into the Achaemenids, who were surprised and taken out. At her side, Nulia and Lilith charged in, crashing through a nearby tent.

They tore through the enemy ranks with their claws, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Atlas watched as Estelle, Artemis, and Zena rushed in, their attacks catching the remaining soldiers in the crossfire.

Meanwhile, Atlas focused on keeping their flanks secure, using Void Bullets to eliminate any enemies attempting to attack from behind. Each shot was precise, ensuring their safety as the chaos unfolded around them.

The battlefield was a blur of movement as Atlas and the women fought with deadly precision. Amethyst soared above, swooping down to rip through soldiers with her talons, her screeches filling the air.

Nulia and Lilith charged side by side, claws slashing through the enemy ranks, leaving soldiers crumpled in their wake. Estelle's blades flashed, cutting down anyone who came too close, while Artemis unleashed a flurry of arrows that struck with unerring accuracy.

Zena's fists hammered through the enemy, crushing skulls and breaking bones. From behind, Atlas stood firm, his eyes cold and focused. He fired Void Bullets, each shot piercing through enemies who dared to approach from the rear.

The remaining soldiers, caught in the relentless assault, stood no chance. Within moments, the battlefield fell silent, the only sound the labored breaths of the victors. Atlas jumped off Raymond's back and used Void Step to appear in the center of the camp.

He brushed the dust off him as the seven women approached him with excited expressions, but he quickly noticed Grishna was carrying a chest from the commander's tent. ''Look at what I found. I think it was their stash.''

Atlas chuckled at her reaction as Artemis and Zena went to help the Orc woman open it. Once they did that, a sea of gold coins poured out, which excited the group, causing him to store it in his Item Box.

Following that, all the women apart from Lilith returned to the Otherworld, as they had been fighting non-stop for days. Atlas said his goodbyes just as Raymond landed with a crash with a boar-like monster in his talon.

The Stormeagle started eating while speaking. 'Are we ready to head south, Master? The road is empty and the enemies are retreating to their giant castles.'

''Yes, let's go once you finished your snack,'' Atlas replied as he jumped on the bird's back. ''It's about time I met them. It's been years.''

Once comfortable, Raymond took off and started flying as Lilith returned to her Honey Badger form and climbed on his neck. She licked his cheek before asking, 'Can we try the Void Realm together, Master?'

Atlas looked at her and nodded while activating the skill only for the duo to reappear in the swamp. Lilith jumped off his shoulder and grew in size just as the monsters started appearing all around them.

He quickly cast Void Infusion on his swords and quickly checked the monster total to see how many they had killed so far.

[Void Broodmaw - 8,989/10,000]

[Void Kraxari - 4,841/1,000,000]

[Void Bloodwing - 1,513/2,000,000]

'The Broodmaw's are nearly finish which will be good,' Atlas thought with an excited smile.

Just then, the monsters launched their attack, causing Lilith to react as she lunged at a group of Broodmaws. The Honey Badger turned them into meat chunks using her sharp claws.

While this was happening, Atlas started using Void Lance to pierce the bodies of the monsters while blocking the Kraxari's ambushes. He sidestepped one of the large ants before cutting it in half.

Seconds later, he quickly cast Void Wave that knocked the creature's back, allowing him to burst forward while cutting them down, but had to use Void Blast to send himself high into the air because of the overwhelming numbers.

Atlas quickly started spamming Void bombs into the horde of monsters, causing explosions to erupt all over the place just as he landed with a thud. Just then he spotted a Broodmaw lunging at Lilith.

Without thinking, he threw one of his swords at the skull of the creature, which pierced it saving the Honey Badger from being sent back to the real world. Atlas continued fighting alongside her for hours.

By the time the duo grew tired, they had slain so many monsters that Atlas's arms ached from the constant combat. Yet, with each strike, he felt stronger, more relentless. His thirst for battle remained unquenched, but he checked the monster total.

[Void Broodmaw - 10,000/10,000]

[Void Kraxari - 34,123/1,000,000]

[Void Bloodwing - 2,513/2,000,000]

When Atlas saw the monster tally, his excitement surged. The mana coursed through his body, healing his wounds and fueling him, causing his azure eyes to glow with a fierce intensity.

The sudden surge of power caught Lilith's attention, her eyes widening in surprise. Without warning, Atlas shot forward like lightning, cutting through the monsters with ease. Each strike was lethal, as he slaughtered anything that dared to get too close.

The Honey Badger woman watched in awe, sensing the raw power and unmatched skill he wielded. She couldn't help but be taken aback, her respect for him growing with every monster that fell.

His azure eyes burned with intensity, glowing brighter with each enemy he dropped. She tried to keep pace, but he moved so fast, it was as if he were everywhere at once. Each strike he landed seemed to ripple with more force, his strength building with every passing moment.

Atlas's body flowed like water, unrestrained and unstoppable, as though the very air bent to his will. Lilith, usually fast and deadly, found herself struggling to match his pace. Her heart raced as she watched him.

'He's becoming a monster! What have the gods unleashed upon us,' she thought in amazement.

He wasn't just fighting anymore; he was becoming something more, a force of nature. She could barely keep up, but she knew one thing for certain: he was no longer the man she had met all those years ago.

'Master is a warrior unlike none in history and I hope to be there when he rises to the top,' Lilith hoped with bright yellow eyes.

In the meantime, Atlas was killing hundreds of monsters that couldn't escape his blades. They carved through their bodies like a hot knife cutting through butter. Following that, he continued taking out as many as he could before growing tired.

While the creatures backed off and Lilith regrouped with him, he checked the monster total to see how well he did.

[Void Broodmaw - 10,000/10,000]

[Void Kraxari - 41,412/1,000,000]

[Void Bloodwing - 3,111/2,000,000]

Seeing that spurred Atlas on, fueling his determination to keep fighting alongside the Honey Badger woman. The duo continued battling the void monsters before returning to the real world.

He shook his head while seeing the Thalassian capital in the distance, and it looked like it was under siege by the Achaemenids. When Atlas saw this, he spoke to Raymond with a big smile, ''Let's show them what the Voidwalker can do.''

The Stormeagle let out a screech of excitement as he sped up toward the enemy army as Atlas prepared for a fight while informing the women of his plan that they agreed to and wanted to help.
