Level Up: Voidwalker

Atlas gave up on the storm as it wasn't stopping, he sat down and relaxed as Horus hopped over to him, 'This is perfect, the enemy will be lulled into a false sense of security. Once the weather calms down we can attack.'

He looked tiny harpy eagle before agreeing, ''Good idea, we can use the Kenku's to hit a certain part of the wall to distract the Achaemendians.''

Following that, Atlas activated Void Realm and appeared in the jungle where he would be fighting the Void Tarrasques. He took out his swords and cast Void Infusion on them just as the roars rang out.

The creatures started heading in his direction forcing him into the trees. Thanks to Void Step he got up high just as the first monsters smashed through the brush, when he saw this he jumped onto its head.

Without wasting time, Atlas drove his blade into the Tarrasque's skull before casting Void Bombs. He used Void Step to get away just as the explosion erupted and blew its head apart.

More monsters rushed out and tried to attack but thanks to the size difference he managed to avoid all the bites and tail swipes. Atlas started casting dozens of Void Barrage at the others causing small explosions to ring out.

While this happened he pulled up the monster total to check on the amount his killed so far.

[Void Tarrasque - 4/1000]

'This is going to take long,' Atlas mused before transforming into his Voidwalker form and trying to see if this helps.

He leaped from the elevated ground, landing with a powerful thud before immediately dashing toward the nearest Tarrasque. Atlas slashed through the creature's thick ankle. The beast let out a roar as its massive form tumbled to the ground in a thunderous crash.

With the Tarrasque down, he plunged his claw into the eye of the monster, which caused it to fade back into the Void Realm. Following this, Atlas went to work and started killing them, each one was getting easier.

When they would charge, he would dodge their first attack before plunging his fist through its skull. Atlas continued this while unleashing thousands of punches and slashes that killed even more Tarrasques.

He stayed in the Void Realm for hours, until one unlucky swipe sent him to the real world. Atlas woke up and noticed Artemis and Estelle sitting in front of the fire while gossiping about something.

While coming too he brought up the monster total and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

[Void Tarrasque - 79/1000]

Atlas stood up and stretched his arms, causing his bones to crack as he approached the fire. He sat down next to the brunette whose brown eyes turned to him. ''Hello sleepyhead, were you in the Void Realm?''

''I was, I've reached Level Six, and this one is harder because the monsters are giants,'' he answered while taking out some ale. ''They are strong but slow, but thanks to their size it's easy to dodge them.''

Estelle glanced at him with curious blue eyes as she questioned, ''Could my shield stand up against them?''

Atlas shrugged, ''Maybe for a few minutes, the Tarrasques have brute strength in their favor,'' he said while taking a mouthful of ale.

Once he finished it Artemis took the leather pouch and drank some. Atlas started laughing as he poked the brunette's side. This made her yelp before countering by pinching him. The two started fighting.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The blonde watched this before giggling at the two as she spoke. ''You two make a good couple. Laughing together shows a bond is forming.''

Artemis looked at Estelle with a smile as she answered while slapping his hand away, ''You're right, but this gremlin thinks he can tease me and get away with it.''

She then started attacking him even more. Atlas started laughing while holding the Siren woman back, but she was slippery. Artemis slipped out of his hold, but he quickly grabbed her in a bear hug.

''Do you give up, Fish?'' he whispered into her ear.

This sent shivers down the brunette's back as she smirked, ''I do, but let me turn around Blue.''

When Atlas heard this, his expression changed, but Artemis giggled, ''It's my nickname for you handsome. Those blue eyes of yours are so sexy,'' she revealed. ''Ask Blondie over there. She loves them.''

They turned to Estelle, who gave him a sweet smile, ''I do, I mean I have blue eyes but yours are out of this world. It's like looking at the heavens,'' she said while taking off her armor.

Atlas noticed her well-endowed chest bounced out, causing Artemis to tease, ''Your boobs are getting bigger Estelle, what's your secret?''

''Oh shut up Art,'' she replied with a giggle. ''My Nonna had a big chest, but neither my mother nor sisters inherited that particular trait, but I did and they hated it.''

The trio laughed before Estelle stood up and announced, ''I'm going to check out the fortress. The storm should have them hidden away but it wouldn't stop their reinforcements from arriving.''

Atlas nodded as he watched the blonde leave the tent. As she vanished Artemis grabbed his chin and turned his head. Seconds later, she kissed him. A shock ran through his entire body causing him to grab her slender waist.

The two of them continued to kiss, only for it to grow hot and heavy, which the couple enjoyed. Atlas's hands slid up her body before cupping her perky boobs. This earned him a moan as they broke apart, ''Mmmmghh~~.''

Artemis pressed herself close to him, their bodies flush as they shared a deep, lingering kiss. When she finally pulled away, her breath came in soft, ragged gasps, a pleased smile lighting up her face.

''I love kissing you, Blue,'' she confessed, her eyes sparkling. ''It's always so special, the passion that radiates from you makes it feel like nothing else.''

Atlas smiled when hearing this and hugged the beautiful brunette. The two of them just sat there just as he started playing with her soft hair. Her smile grew wider as she spoke in a soft voice, ''I love that, it feels so good.''

Soon enough, Artemis fell asleep and started letting out adorable snores as he ran his fingers up and down her back. Minutes later, Atlas joined her as the couple was extremely comfortable.

Sometime later, Estelle walked back into the tent while rubbing her cold hands. When she spotted the duo, a smile appeared as she muttered, ''I can see your effort in getting to know each of us Atlas, and I must admit it makes me want you even more.''

The blonde took out a blanket while placing it over the two. After that, she kissed him on the forward before heading toward the firepit. While everyone was asleep, the storm outside worsened, as the north wasn't a kind place.

Estelle ensured the fire blazed brightly, the flames casting a warm glow across the room. She smiled to herself, a mix of pride and determination in her eyes. ''You've come so far, princess,'' she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.

But then her expression grew serious as she added, ''There's still work to be done. I have to make things right with Grish... and prove to Atlas that I'm truly trying to change.''

Following that, she went to bed as the weather outside covered the tent and helped them blend into the surroundings. Hours later, Atlas woke up with a snoring Artemis on his lap which made him smile.

Atlas shifted the brunette aside before rising to his feet and moving toward the entrance. That's when an unsettling feeling gripped him. Without hesitation, he reacted, teleporting everything to the Otherworld as he drew his blades.

He crossed them just in time to block an incoming strike, sparks flying on impact. As the tension rose, Atlas quickly realized he was surrounded by Nightowls, their menacing presence closing in.

''Looks like we found the devil,'' a man's voice rang out. ''Get him!''

Without wasting time, he started attacking the Nightowls using his speed and managed to cut down a few before more appeared. While this happened, Nulia raged from the Otherworld. ''Let us fight! You mean something to all of us?''

When Atlas heard this, he summoned the five women, who instantly joined the fight. Amethyst let out a screech that dazed all the attackers as she transformed into her phoenix form and grabbed the two of them before taking off.

Nulia materialized in her Frostbear form, her massive frame erupting with raw power as she lunged at the Nightowls. Her claws tore through them with savage precision, bisecting several with a single swipe.

Letting out a deafening roar, she lunged at the commander, sinking her teeth into his skull. In one crushing motion, she obliterated his head, shattering it like a watermelon. Atlas laughed at this scene as he cut down some of the enemy soldiers before summoning hundreds of Kenku's.

The bird assassins quickly killed the Nightowls with overwhelming numbers and skill.
