Atlas glanced at the beautiful orc woman and nodded, ''I won't let any of you down,'' he said with a charming smile.
Grisha bead as she excitedly asked, ''Can we test out your Void Realm with the others? I want to see it.''
''Yes, gather the others and et in the living room,'' Atlas replied while stretching his only arm before walking inside.
He quickly noticed Estelle standing there, and when spotting him, she smiled, ''Ah Azhar'Zul, I've been thinking, once I level up so more, I can try to heal your arm.''
When Atlas heard this, his eyes widened, but he nodded, responding, ''That sounds good to , thank you.''
The blonde flashed him a dazzling smile before stepping closer and kissing his cheek quickly. He was caught off guard, and her laughter bubbled as she said, ''Grish ntioned that we're helping you with the Void Realm?''
Atlas nodded as Artemis, Athyst, and Grishna entered the living room, their faces excitedly lit. He gestured for them to co closer. ''I need you all nearby to activate the skill, ladies.''
Once everyone was close, Atlas selected the skill, causing everyone to appear in the destroyed city as he spoke, ''Be careful, ladies. The Void Ghouls are sneaky creatures and ambush you from the shadows.''
Upon hearing this, Estelle drew her shield and moved to the front, positioning herself protectively. Artemis and Grishna flanked her, standing slightly behind on either side, while Athyst remained at the center of their formation.
He observed the scene with fascination, Nulia standing quietly at his side. Seeing this, Atlas smiled before turning to the brown-skinned beauty, ''You protect the rear while I move around the battlefield.''
Nulia nodded with a smile as she transford into her Frostbear form and let out a heart-shaking roar, answered by hundreds of horrifying howls that echoed throughout the city, causing everyone to prepare for an attack.
'They always start off like this,'
Atlas mused as the excitent ignited.
With a deafening roar, the first wave of Ghouls charged forward, their shrieks splitting the air. Estelle, Artemis, and Grishna stood montarily stunned by the sudden onslaught but quickly regained their composure.
With fierce determination, the brunette unleashed her sling, launching searing mana bolts piercing the creatures' skulls. Estelle slamd her shield into the ground with force, creating a wall of blinding white light that shimred like an impenetrable fortress.
In the anti, Atlas marveled as Athyst unfurled her shimring wings, taking to the sky in a breathtaking display. From above, she rained down devastating bursts of cosmic magic, her attacks tearing through the Ghouls.
anwhile, Grishna, spear in hand, dashed into the fight. Her movents were a blur as she effortlessly skewered dozens of Ghouls, her spear an extension of her body, keeping the hideous creatures at bay before dispatching them.
'She's a warrior; maybe she can help train one day,'
Atlas thought while admiring the young woman.
As Grishna carved her way through the horde, Estelle charged forward like an unstoppable force of nature. With her shield blazing and her power surging, she plowed through the masses, crushing hundreds of Ghouls beneath her and leaving a trail of devastation in her wake.
The battlefield trembled beneath their might; Atlas was excited, but Nulia noticed so sneaky creatures trying to attack the won from the flank. The Frostbear woman charged forward and tore them apart with ease.
'Glad Nulia is a friend and not foe; her bear form is powerful.'
After that, Atlas got involved and cast Void Infusion on his blades before carving through the monsters' bodies, causing them to collapse. That's when he spotted several Savage Ghould heading straight for Grishna.
He noticed the orc beauty spotted them and grinned, a fierce glint in her eyes. Without hesitation, she hurled a tal ball toward them. The instant it struck the ground, it emitted a piercing shriek that disoriented the Ghouls, their grotesque forms stumbling in confusion.
Wasting no ti, Grishna surged forward, her spear a blur as she drove it through them with deadly precision, each thrust ending a life as she tore through their ranks. Amid the chaos, Atlas's sharp gaze caught sight of mana bolts slicing through the horde, picking off Ghouls from a distance.
He turned just in ti to see Artemis, who had abandoned her sling for a gleaming sword. As the creatures closed in, she lunged forward with lethal speed, her blade cutting through the air, carving into the advancing Ghouls with the grace of a warrior born for battle.
'So I don't have to worry about them all,'
he thought with a smile.

'They all can fight and are strong.'
As the battle continued, Atlas wiped out a group using Void Barrage before pulling up the monster after an hour of fighting with the won.
[Void Ghoul – 6999/20000]
[Void Savage Ghoul - 1176/10000]
[Void Brute Ghoul - 1/5000]
[----]
Atlas smiled when he saw this; he started spamming Void Arrows and Bullets that sliced through the air and connected with a group of Savaga Ghouls, causing them to fall to the ground as holes were burned through their foreheads.
'Looks like they're weak to those spells,'
he pondered while casting more.
The battle raged on, a relentless storm of steel and magic until the first finally fell. A pack of Void Ghouls, moving with unnatural speed, managed to ambush Artemis. Their claws tore at her, but he reacted instantly and sent her back to the real world in a flash of light.
As soon as she disappeared, Grishna beca the next target. The others followed one by one due to the overwhelming number of creatures—Athyst, then Nulia—vanishing from the battlefield as he sent them safely away.
Now, only Atlas and Estelle remained, standing firm against the horde. Estelle, shield raised, was a bastion of light and unyielding power as the two defended against the Void Ghouls' vicious sneak attacks.
The odds were growing, but neither wavered; Estelle cut down a dozen creatures before a Ghoul Brute managed to land a punch on the blonde. She was sent crashing to the ground, forcing Atlas to send her back to the real world.
Once alone, the Ghouls circled him as the Savages growled at him, but a Brute stepped forward with a knowing smile. Atlas was shocked,
'Are they intelligent? Maybe this type is?'
he thought while glancing at the others.
That's when he noticed the intelligence in their eyes and gulped before the Brute chuckled as it charged forward. As the creature got close, it swung a powerful punch that Atlas dodged, narrowly avoiding a colossal fist that cratered the ground where he'd stood.
He cast Void Blast at the Brute when he got enough space between them. The bolt slamd into the creature's side, but instead of recoiling in pain, the Brute turned its head, eyes narrowing as if calculating its next move.
'Yeah, it's smart! This is bad.'
Atlas backed off when realizing this creature wouldn't be easy to defeat. With that thought, he steeled himself before casting several Void Bombs at it; the azure projectiles sliced through the air and slamd into the stronger Ghoul.
'This is my chance; maybe I can end it,'
he thought with a tired smile.
Explosions rippled across the street they were fighting on, but Atlas dashed forward and sensed the fist. He sidestepped the attack before driving his blade into its flesh and sliced it open before casting Void Bullets inside, causing the creature's arm to explode.
Atlas could feel the Brute's rage building as it was injured from his last attack. The beast snarled, swiping at him with its massive claw that appeared out of nowhere, but Atlas was already moving.
His body blurred with speed, dodging the strike and weaving between the Brute's lumbering swings. He unleashed a Void Barrage that pumled the enemy's thick hide, stunning the creature further.
Following that, he sheathed his weapons before using Void Step and unleashing a Void Smash on the Brute's face. When his fist connected, a loud clap was heard as the creature's head exploded.
Atlas dropped to the ground, exhausted and out of mana, as the other Ghouls jumped on him, ending his go at Level Four. Opening his eyes, he noticed the five won gossiping around the kitchen table.
Before getting up, he checked the monster's total, as they killed many creatures during their fight.
[Void Ghoul – 9231/20000]
[Void Savage Ghoul - 3711/10000]
[Void Brute Ghoul - 2/5000]
[----]
'Nearly halfway done already,'
Atlas thought before shaking his head and standing up.
When the won noticed him, Athyst jumped up and declared with a big smile, ''We've decided to help you fight those horrible creatures, Atlas.''
The other four nodded in agreent as he answered, ''We can try in a few hours; if I go back now, I will be tired and slower than the last ti.''
''Why is that? Isn't it your realm?'' Artemis questioned with a curious expression on her pretty face.
Atlas joined them at the table, explaining, ''It doesn't belong to ; that's the Otherworld we're in now. The Void Realm is a creation of sothing I don't know, but sotis I've felt eyes on when fighting a few tis.''
