Volume 10, 43: Modernized Abyss
Elite Guardian LV40
Soil Property, Metal Property
historical
Guardian of the Hell of Iron Trees. Drives off ghosts that want to sneak out of Hell.
Although I want to use the Magic Absorption device on this thing’s body, I don’t know if it uses magic or some other strange energy and there is a lot of risk in using it.
The Magic Absorption device would require for it to sit still and I don’t that that the buy guy is going to let me do it.
The only way to deal with it is to do what Hei Luoli said, dig a hole for it to fall into and use it when it can’t move. However, only I can make the hole since I’m the only one that can use earth magic.
“Aliyah, do you know how to use this thing?”
I handed the Magic Absorption device over to Aliyah.
“Of course I do. The problem is, does it have to be magical? That thing might not be powered by magic.”
“If you can’t, then use these.”
I handed Aliyah two grenades.
“If you can’t do it then blow him up with these.”
“......”
Aliyah looked at me as if she didn’t know what to say and silently took them.
Oh the other side, Tai Shixi and Bai Yueguang were attacking the Elite Guardian in a pincer attack and Oyado had jumped onto the guardian’s head with a dagger but had no effect on it.
Hei Luoli had already completely abandoned the fight and was standing near a tree on the side cheering them on.
Hey! You’re being too lazy. You’re only cheering for Bai Yueguang, where’s our share?
All right, enough nonsense.
“Arcane · Mountain Passage!
Although I’m not really familiar with earth magic, my terminal had introduced me to every type of magic. Flipping through the earth magic I looked for control and manipulation spells.
Well......
The spell was originally intended to open passages in mountains, just like it’s name.
But if it can open a hole in a mountain, why can’t it open a hole in the floor?
By pointing at the ground, 4 points locked around the feet of the guardian, I pulled my hands apart and a hole opened up in the floor!
Wow~
Isn’t this convenient?
This is basically a cheat. It’s a divine skill that let’s you commit murder, go out and make friends, and deal with evil brats!
Looking at how the guardian fell down, I nodded in satisfaction. Bringing my hands back together it was sealed underground.
Before I did that I saw that Aliyah had thrown in two grenades into the pit. We didn’t have any time to say anything. There was a loud explosion, I saw the guardian’s HP drop to zero, and my EXP rose by just 5000.
It’s natural that it was only that much, all I did was assist. The one who killed it was Aliyah.
I gave her a look like I didn’t know what to say. Do you have to be so aggressive in kill stealing? It’s just 5000 additional EXP. Why did you use the bombs without trying the Magical Absorption device first?
There’s nothing I can do. Wasn’t I the one who gave her the grenades?
But the battle conclusion meant one thing, the guard in front of us was the only enemy and now that it had been cleared there was nothing near us.
“Well, it looks like there are no other enemies. We should keep moving.”
“Makes sense.”
Bai Yueguang put his sword away.
“But won’t Ming Luoxin come after us if we keep killing the guards like this?”
“She’s in charge of the Cold Hell, not the Hell of Iron Trees. She also didn’t mention that there was such a strong guard here so she can’t blame us.”
Well, I’ve been persuaded by my own reasoning.
“Let’s go.”
Hei Luoli said as if this was none of her business.
“And......I thought of a way to go forward while we were fightinh.”
As soon as I said that I pointed at the iron trees and pulled. Two earthen walls rose up from the ground and pushed the iron trees aside.
Although some of the blades passed through the walls, there was a way through.
“Oh, that is a good method.”
Everyone nodded.
Sure enough it is best to master a large variety of skills and to take the chance to get a better understanding on how the skills work.
With that we were easily able to pass through the Hell of Iron Trees and reach the giant tree in the center.
The trunk looks different form the other trees. The others were black trunks with blades sticking out of them, this had a silvery trunk with a variety of giant blades sticking out.
It looks like an enhanced version......does it have some sort of special meaning?
The only thing special about it was a purple door on it. It must be the passage into the Abyss the Ming Luoxin described.
“At least she didn’t lie about that. Was she trying to see if we had the strength to destroy the guard?
“Well, who knows. At least we’ve achieved our goal.”
Bai Yueguang walked up to the purple door.
“Well, Let’s go. God knows what your body will do if we don’t hurry.”
“Wait a minute. We’re human, so is it really good for us to go into the Abyss?”
Hei Luoli suddenly asked.
“I remember what that ghost said on the way to the tree. Demons are an incredibly violent race. If they found out that we were human, might......”
“What is it?”
I looked at our group. None of us were afraid to die except for Oyado and Hei Luoli. Violence? Do you think that we aren’t violent enough? Do I have to bring a ton of dynamite to be violent enough?
“Well......let’s go. There’ll be a show of strength at worst. If there’s one thing about demons, then it’s that power determines everything.”
Tai Shixi said, going straight through the door.
I shrugged and followed through.
......
............
..................
The scene dramatically changed when I passed through the gateway.
“This is......the Abyss?”
Not even mentioning the reenforced concrete buildings that were more advanced than those in the human world, the neon lights flashing everywhere were enough of a surprise.
“Oh my god, what is this place?”
Bai Yueguang came over and looked at everything with a twitching face.
“Hello~”
Suddenly, a scantly dressed succubus flew over to us, holding a welcome sign.
“It’s so rare for people to come over, and there are so many of you~ It must be startling to see this magnificent city~ Each and every one of you will have a chance to visit it later, for now come with me to report at the Ghost Registration Bureau~”
“......”
It seems like the Demon King has thoroughly modernized the Abyss......
I opened up the menu and saw that the Demon King’s name was lit up.
Opening it up, I sent a message.
“Hello~ We’ve come to travel around the Abyss, why not catch up with us?”
