The Walker Of Voids

[08/01/2023 This chapter has been fixed]

"Can you feel my rage?"

*Crackle*

*Fwhoom*

Within a moment, a tsunami of pale blue flames shot out of Lloyd's palm and enveloped the pale monster.

However, while the flames didn't hurt at first-

"W-what?" The man roared as the once blue flames flickered between their original color and bright violet.

[Apsect of Void + Flmae Control]

Bright violet runes shone all over the flames as they began moving like an entry of their volition. The power of the flames skyrocketed, causing even the ground around the place monsters to slowly turn into molten magma.

Lloyd watched the flames spiral around the monster, and since he knew he wasn't expending any brain power on controlling the flames, he knew that it must have been the work of the void energy.

The winds began to pick up, and the skies howled as of they themselves were trying to express Lloyd's rage in his stead.

However-

"AHHHHHHH."

Letting out a deafening roar, the self-proclaimed Monarch of the autumn forest shot out of the flames and blasted straight for Lloyd.

"Flame tendrils."

However, the instant the monster began to move, Lloyd clutched his hand into a fist, causing several purple runes to flash over the flames before they broke into segments.

Forming into flaming tendrils, they whipped at the monster, forcing it to jump away from Lloyd to avoid the attacks.

The monster glared at Lloyd for a moment before a disgusting smile appeared on its face.

"Your efforts are futile. You are nothing but a child in my eyes. Do you know how kong I've lived for!" It roared.

"Shut up." Lloyd's sneer entered the creature's ears, and before it could react to the fact that Lloyd's voice was coming from another direction, a palm suddenly struck him in the chest, yet despite the strike not even putting a scratch on the creature's body, Lloyd had achieved what he wanted from the start.

While the monster had several masculine features, Lloyd's mind refused to think of it as anything but an "it." His rage for the monster was unbound and limitless, yet he found calm in his heart in the moment of anger.

*Boom*

The monster shot toward Lloyd like a bolt of lightning. Lloyd's eyes widened slightly at the sudden increase in speed, yet when its fist landed on Lloyd's abdomen, Lloyd's shock turned into a menacing frown.

The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed throughout the area, and before Lloyd could control his velocity, the monster shot towards him in what looked like nothing but a streak of orange light.

Appearing above Lloyd, the monster cocked its hand back and released a devastating punch that-

*Boom*

Slamming Lloyd into the ground, he felt cobweb-like cracks trickle through his back; before the monster could attack again, he closed his eyes, flipped back, and threw a kick at the monster's face.

Flipping away, Lloyd's vision suddenly blackened as a fist smashed into his face and as he tumbled away violently.

'Your humanity has made you weak.' A familiar voice spoke, yet it was completely different at the same time. Almost unrecognizable, yet it was the most recognizable voice he could hear.

'Look at you now. You have showed your true nature. The nature of a bloodthirsty rage-filled void walker!' the voice laughed as excitement and thrill filled its voice for the first time ever, almost making it sound like Lloyd instead of an emotionless robot.

'Today, this will be your baptism. The event that will create a better Lloyd! A better us!' it continued.

Slowly, Lloyd felt as of the world around him had become darker... Almost black and white. Yet when Lloyd looked at the ground, his eyes only perceived a field of bloodstained grass spanning for miles.

"Humanity makes you weak." A voice echoed through the infinite field of blood grass before a figure wearing a black mask appeared a couple dozen meters in front of Lloyd, wearing the same clothing as Lloyd, yet it was covered in blood whole. Lloyd was mostly clean.

Slowly, the space around Lloyd began to distort, and as if they had always been there, 6 bloodied and dismembered bodies appeared around Lloyd, each spewing more blood than the last.

Each body was different, yet Lloyd recognized them all. And they seemed to have recognized him.

Their dead eyes wriggled around within the eye sockets of the dead skulls before they locked on Lloyd, yet despite wanting to look away from the bodies, he couldn't move his eyes.

"And companionship makes you weaker." An emotionless voice spoke, shaking the very world it had created.

"Look upon your dead companions and know that..."

"That they are all dead because of you."

***

*Boom*

Lloyd's eyes glazed over as his rage grew further, and the void energy shooting down from the sky Increased in power and intensity.

When Lloyd's consciousness returned to the real world, he found himself standing around a purple bubble.

"Stop." Lloyd muttered before glancing at the sky.

In that very instant, the energy pooling down from the sky stopped, yet the purple clouds remained.

"I'lll deal with you later." Lloyd spoke with seething anger in his voice before looking forward and searching for the monster with his eyes.

'345.6 meters away.' Lloyd thought while expanding his mana sense to the maximum power.

Stepping forward, Lloyd flashed purple and appeared a few meters above the monster.

*Swoosh*

A hand pierced through the air, yet it was not aimed at him.

*Clutch*

A burly figure grabbed onto the monster's arm and tried its best to stop it, yet despite her best efforts, the monster was clearly just playing around with her.

"My servants would appreciate a woman like you." It grinned menacingly as it stopped its hand halfway and opened it to grip onto Hime's throat.

"You... Bastard." Hime spat with a croaky voice, yet despite seeing her suffer, Lloyd remained unmoving... As if he was completely indifferent when it came to if she lived or died. Of course, Lloyd was waiting for the best moment to strike, and what's a better way to find the right time if it is not by analyzing your opponent as they beat your comrades half to death.

'What were you angry about again? Maybe you just felt like killing that monster. Just imagine how much energy it would give you.' The voice tempted.

'I'm avenging my friend.'

'By letting the woman who cared for him die? Stop lying to yourself. We both know you don't care about them. You just used them, and so will they use you. Can't you see it? They saw you teleport. They are terrified.'

Lloyd's eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the people at the ground, yet he did not see what he expected to see.

Not everyone remained motionless like Lloyd.

They were all angry, some even angrier than Lloyd, while others were less angry.

However, unlike Lloyd, they suppressed their emotions and fought with heart.

"Let go of our leader!" A feminine voice screamed as flaming homing missiles beamed down from the sky and shot toward the monster.

"Oh. I forgot you were here too." The monster's grin disappeared and swiped at Tina's flame missiles, dissipating them instantly.

"Let fuckin go!" Felix roared before his body turned into a blur, appearing and disappearing as it struck the monster hundreds of times a second.

The blood-red runes on Felix's body scorched his skin as he used his racial abilities to the highest extent.

However, despite moving fast enough to leave after images, the monster's hand moved just as fast, blocking every attack with a single hand.

Still, Felix didn't give up and kept attacking, yet each time he tried to land a blow, the monster moved a little faster, making it hard for Felix to land any hits.

In the end, Felix is forced to fall back and take a defensive stance as the monster begins to crush his throat.

"Hime, Move!" Felix shouted, yet even before he could finish his sentence, Hime had already moved.

The monster's eyes widened in surprise as it felt a sudden pain in its chest, yet before it could do anything, it felt something hit its chest.

And the hits didn't stop there.

[Sky Dragon Technique]

[Dragon lightning fist]

Rex's fist was covered in lightning, and when it touched the monster's chest-

*Boom*

An explosion sending out several bolts of lightning appeared, yet before Rex could celebrate, he felt something grab onto his wrist.

"Haha. That tickled."

*Crack*

"AHHHHH." A blood curdling left Rex's throat as he felt his arm being snapped in half. However, before the monster could rip the wrist from its socket or crush it beyond recognition, a sense of dread fell over it.

"What-"

"What did I say about shutting up?" Lloyd asked as violet energy covered his arm.

[Void Walker Technique]

Lloyd firmly places his fist into the monster's abdomen before launching it several meters away.

In the same instant, Lloyd appeared right behind the monster and placed an axe kick directly into its shoulder.

"Void step barrage."

*Zip Zip Zip*

Teleporting all around, Lloyd slammed the monster around like a ping-pong table, teleporting behind it after every hit just to send out an even more powerful attack.

Eventually, the monster crashed onto the ground, and Lloyd canceled his technique.

"There is no escape." Lloyd spoke, his voice loud and clear as he stood in front of the monster, ready to face off against it in a battle of life and death.

"Nice technique..." The monster complimented before jumping from where it lay and facing Lloyd, completely unscathed.

"No one told me a void walker would be coming to my Dungeon," it grinned, yet behind the grin Lloyd felt fear... No, he almost tasted it.

The fear of a void walker. The universal treasures. The people chosen by god. Of course, those were just titles people gave to them, and while Lloyd didn't believe in any of them, the titles alone left their impact on the people of the universe.

'Its scared, but its also confident that it can take me...' Lloyd thought as several human-like creatures flew past him at the speed of sound. While he didn't recognize the humans, he recognized what they wore.

'Soldiers? There were supposed to be no soldiers for miles.' Lloyd thought, his mind slowed down slightly before looking back.

"These were soldiers that got to that baster first. I'm just giving them use, after all, what good are they dead if they aren't my puppets." Lachlan grinned.

'They seem to be ignoring the fact that I can teleport, or that the monster called me a void walker...' Lloyd narrowed his eyes.

'They just can't process if yet. Just wait, you will remember this conversation when they are beating you to a pulp.' The voice spat, however, Lloyd was too busy trying to find a way to contribute.

Lloyd's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to win, yet eventually, he decided on one plan.

He would have to calm down. Raging would not solve anything, and using [4-dimensional thought] was out of the question. He remembered how he blacked out last time as well as the horrible headache. Never again, he thought.

Lloyd closed his eyes and focused his energy, channeling it towards his center. He felt the void energy grow within him, and controlling it the way 'it' taught him, Lloyd moved allowed it to soak into the very structure of his body, channeling it into his bones, muscles, tissues and cells, slowly empowering them with the power of the void.

"Alright..." Lloyd exhaled.

"I'm going to enjoy this." Lloyd smiled hatefully as his killing intent exploded out of his body, exuding a dense and suffocating black and red aura toward the monster.
