Level Up: Voidwalker

Atlas watched as Lilith tore through the Broodmaws with ease, thanks to her claws and teeth. He had to retreat to the branches above while thinking in shock, 'What the fuck? How can see a fight for so long?'

Sweat dripped down his forehead, causing him to dismiss his helmet as he checked the monster total.

'Annoying,' he thought while standing up and casting Void Infusion on his blades before diving back into the battle.

Atlas landed on the back of a Broodmaw, trying to attack Lilith from behind, but he shoved his swords through its skull before hitting another with a Void Blast that cut a monster in half thanks to its power.

While this was happening, the Honey Badger was going crazy whenever she saw Atlas getting heard. This drove her over the edge as she grew in size and power, causing the monsters to back away.

He caught the terror in their beady eyes as Lilith let out a guttural growl, a sound so primal it sent chills racing down his spine. Without hesitation, she lunged at the nearest Broodmaw, her razor-sharp teeth sinking into its flesh.

It barely had time to screech before she tore it apart like fragile paper, her savage ferocity leaving nothing but mangled remains in her wake. He chuckled when he saw this and joined in.

With an excited smile, Atlas rushed toward the closest Broodmaw, who started swinging its scythes in his direction. He quickly deflected them before driving his swords into its torso and casting Void Bullets.

Explosions erupted across the monster's body as Lilith crashed into its upper half with unrelenting force, driving it to the ground with a smash. Nearby, Atlas raised Void Guard, its shimmering energy shield deflecting a barrage of attacks.

Sparks showered around him as he surged forward, his weapons blazing with crackling energy. With a primal roar, Atlas unleashed a whirlwind of strikes, his blades carving through a dozen creatures in a matter of heartbeats.

Limbs and carapaces scattered as his relentless assault left nothing in his path. The Honey Badger froze mid-charge, its wide yellow eyes fixed on Atlas in astonished disbelief, the sheer ferocity of his attacks leaving even the fearless creature in awe.

Without having a break to two of them continued fighting with all their strength as they killed thousands. Atlas was covered in sweat but didn't stop as his blades brought down so many Broodmaws that his arms grew tired.

He sheathed his sword before using Void Punch and Smash, which sent the attacking monsters flying because of the shockwave. Lilith was covering his rear as Atlas pushed himself beyond his limit.

When the Honey Badger woman saw this, she stopped fighting while thinking, 'He's using one hundred percent of his power! How has he grown so strong?'

The ground seemed to tremble, and her eyes flicked with anticipation as she watched her boy destroying the monsters. With a sharp cry, Atlas raised his glowing fist, Void energy crackling and swirling around it like a contained storm.

'He's mine! I can't believe how powerful he is now,' she thought with glowing eyes.

He lunged forward and slammed his fist into the ground, unleashing a Void Punch that detonated with the force of a thunderclap. The shockwave rippled outward, shattering the front line of Broodmaw into nothing and sending others flying into the air like rag dolls.

Lilith's lips curled into a feral grin, as Atlas didn't pause. He leaped into the air, mana surging through his limbs. With both fists raised high, he brought them down in a titanic Void Smash. The impact shook the battlefield, the deafening boom echoing like a thunderstorm.

Dozens of Broodmaw crumbled under the devastating blow, their shrieks cut short as the ground itself split beneath them. Lilith's growl rumbled with approval as she watched him stand amidst the carnage, the mana still radiating from his fists like a storm barely contained.

''You're a walking cataclysm, handsome,'' she said with a sharp grin. ''Let's finish the rest.''

Atlas turned to the white-haired beauty and smirked. ''Gladly.''

Following that, the duo continued fighting until they grew exhausted, forcing them back to the real world. When Atlas woke up in the tent, Lilith lunged at him and started straddling his waist while looking down at him.

Her smile grew wider, which showed her sharp teeth as she spoke. ''It seems like you've gotten so much stronger, Master.''

Atlas nodded while holding the young woman's slender waist, causing her ears to twitch as she leaned in to whisper, ''Do you find me beautiful?''

''Yes, extremely Lili,'' he answered before turning his head and stealing her plump lips.

The Honey Badger's body went stiff, but she quickly reciprocated the kiss with one of her own as she cupped his cheeks. They continued this for a few minutes until separating as Lilith's eyes sparkled.

''Do you want to be mine, Master?'' she questioned with a hopeful expression.

Atlas smiled when hearing this, but he had to get something out of the way first, so answered with his own question, ''Do you mind if I'm with the others?''

''Amethyst and the other girls?'' she instantly replied.

He nodded in confirmation, causing her smile to grow, ''Of course, it is, I wouldn't expect anything different, but you cannot neglect us or I'll beat you up.''

Atlas started chuckling before nodding. ''I won't neglect any of you. I'm grateful for having all of you girls in my life, so yes, I want to be with you, Lili.''

When the Honey Badger woman heard, a surge of excitement overwhelmed her, consuming her entirely. Unable to contain herself, Lilith bit down on his neck, her sharp teeth pressing into his skin.

A low groan escaped him, a mix of surprise and pain, as he felt her breath hot against his ear, close and filled with unrestrained energy. The young woman lovingly attacked him while he held her soft ass.

Lilith leaned up, her eyes gleaming with a wild light as a mischievous grin spread across her face. ''Fighting in that place was fun,'' she purred, her voice low and sultry. ''Especially with you, handsome. Can we do it again?''

Atlas chuckled, his exhaustion fading before answering in a warm voice. ''Yes, but first, let's rest. Then we'll meet up with the others.''

He reached into his storage, pulling out a couple of thick blankets. Wrapping them securely around the two of them, he added with a knowing smirk, ''When we wake up, we'll cause even more trouble for the empire.''

Lilith snuggled closer, her smile softening. ''I like the sound of that,'' she murmured.

Following that, Atlas smiled before brushing a lock of white hair out of the Honey Badger's face while mumbling, ''I'm happy that I met you in that cave all those years ago, Lili.''

He kissed her forehead while lying down and closed his eyes while checking the monster's total of Level Seven.

'Oh shit, that is an improvement from the last time I looked,' Atlas thought with excitement before his exhaustion overwhelmed him.

He fell asleep after cuddling Lilith, who snuggled into him as the night passed. The storm had calmed down, but still had the two trapped in the tent while the other girls were training in the Otherworld.

The following morning, Atlas woke to the sound of the walls shaking violently under the relentless assault of the wind outside. The howling gusts were constant, their chaotic roar already grating on his nerves.

Groaning, he climbed out from under the blankets, glancing at Lilith, who remained curled up and undisturbed, her breathing steady and peaceful. With a stretch, his muscles protested, and his bones clicked audibly, making him wince.

''I hate this damn weather,'' he muttered under his breath, rolling his shoulders to shake off the stiffness. ''Makes me feel like an old man.''

Atlas started a series of stretches, his movements slow but deliberate. Bit by bit, the tension in his body eased, and he felt the stiffness fade. ''Much better,'' he sighed.

Following that, he put on some fresh clothes before stepping outside, only to feel the rough wind hit his face. While standing there, a portal opened, and Grishna and Amethyst stepped through.

The Orc woman smiled when seeing him. ''Morning, handsome, how was your night with Lilith?'' she questioned.

''It was good. We fought in the Void Realm and cleared hundreds of the demons,'' Atlas answered with an amused chuckle.

When the two women heard this, Amethyst questioned, ''Demons?''

''Yes, they are called Broodmaws and they're annoying with their sharp scythes that fly at you from anywhere,'' Atlas answered with a chuckle.

''Can we fight them with you? Estelle's training is driving us mad,'' Grishna revealed with a giggle. ''Artemis, Nulia, and Zena are suffering through it right now.''

Atlas started laughing. ''Yes, it looked like the storm will calm down in a few days, so we have some spare time,'' he said.
