Abyss of Dual Cultivation: Goddess's Lust system

Chapter 80

Chaos ensued as the dust cloud neared the Rocx valley. It was emerging from the side where the abyss was situated.

Had Aurora not already known about the tower and its tricks, she might have genuinely believed that this was a weird coincidence.

“Oi, what should we do now? Can we even take that thing down ourselves?”

Rita’s question made sense. Aurora was not sure she could take care of the giant chaos beast herself.

Monsters in the abyss had different levels. It was a well-known fact. They ranged from Normal<Elite<Swarm<Chaos<Legendary<Myth.

Out of them all, Legendary level monsters could only be found on the lowest floors. Even Aurora, who had ventured down as far as level 50 had only seen 3-4 of them.

Legendary level monsters were akin to minor gods and goddesses while Myths went beyond that and had the will of the abyss behind them.

In terms of power, Ava was close to the myth level of the monster but Aurora knew she could not count on Ava to help her out. The abyss would not let Ava use her powers outside the abyss.

“What should we do now? Our abyssal defenses would not last out for long. And fighting the beast can lead to huge losses on the outside.”

Although Rita said losses, Aurora knew it was about human lives at this point. The cloud of magic the chaos beast was bringing with it was too huge to contain.

Once it died, its residual magic would explode and cause the surroundings to get damaged.

They would lose this battle no matter what they did.-.

“We need to divert the beast toward the other side of the Rocx valley. Currently, we are not in a condition to deal with the beast. We need external help.”

Aurora could only think of one way to get rid of this problem and that solution involved getting a goddess to help.

There was no doubt in Aurora’s mind that the goddess of victory would notice such a huge presence entering her lands. But Aurora was not sure if the goddess would help them out or not.

A goddess’s temper was fickle and unpredictable.

Especially for the goddess of victory, this statement could not hold any more truth.

“You say that so easily but executing the order would not be easy. I can already make out the shape of the beast. It’s a whale and the only Chaos beast I can think of is Mobi Dick.”

Rex had arrived outside by this time as well. Aurora soared him a single glance before she diverted her attention to the real threat in front of her.

“Ok, listen everyone. Here is the plan for our next course of action.”

“I will go and divert Mobi Dick’s attention. I’ll also think of some way to lead it toward the other side of the valley. Rita, and Rex, help out the others to set up a barrier around this place. We cannot allow it to fall.”

Aurora did think about taking backup with her but anyone she took would prove to be a hindrance at this point.

Rita would have been the safest choice to take with her but Aurora did need someone to stay behind and take care of this academy business.

“Are you an idiot? You are just asking to get killed out there. We cannot lose you right now.”

Rita’s voice was shaking with emotions. Aurora had never seen the girl this desperate before and it touched her.

But it did not shake her resolve to do what was right.

“Hey, say something. Do you want to see her die out there?”

Seeing as how Aurora was not agreeing with her, Rita changed her target to Rex. But the elder also chose not to answer her.

Rex had already realized Aurora’s thought process and Aurora could see that he did not agree with her. But he still chose to believe in her which warmed her heart.

“Am I the only one who could see a flaw with this plan? Why are you all so quiet right now?”

Rita was not going to be on Aurora’s side but Aurora also could not afford for Rita to follow behind her.

“Rita, listen to me now and I’ll spend a night with you once I come back. And I do promise to come back so don’t follow after me.

That was the last gamble Aurora had in her aisle. Her whisper words were only for Rita’s ears. Her arms tightened around Rita in a hug to hide her face.

She could see the female looking torn up at Aurora’s promise. There was longing and desire in Rita’s eyes but there was also defeat. ??????????

“Fine. But it’s a promise you will have to keep. I will not go soft on you even if you get injured out there.”

Aurora tried not to stare at the hardness poking her in her stomach as she separated from the younger.

How Rita found the time or energy to get hard right now was beyond Aurora’s understanding.

Aurora quickly separated from the group before someone else could come up with another stupid idea to make her stay behind.

[System alert. Viera tribe is about to enter Rocx valley.

Would the user like to send them a message?]

What impeccable timing. It could only be called a stroke of luck for Astoria and Ryu to have arrived at this time.

And suddenly, the situation did not look as grim as it had before. There was a ray of hope outside this tricky situation without getting the goddess of victory involved.

“System, send Astoria and Rex a message for me. Tell them to get ready for the next main event.”

Aurora had no confidence that she would be able to kill Mobi Dick alone. Not without making the Rocx valley her victim as well.

But Astoria was different. She had much more control and she could help Aurora weaken the beast enough to land the final hit.

The Viera leader, Ely was also an accomplished fighter. She could also help Aurora out a lot.

And then there was Ryu. He was young and small but he was an excellent source of defense for the institute. His rank alone could do wonders for the magical resources the academy had.

But the success of Aurora’s plan still depended on her. Her being able to lead Mobi Dick away from the academy and toward the more open side would decide what course of action the outlanders would have to take.

As Aurora neared the huge cloud of dust, she began to see the iconic fins and other animal-like characteristics of the Mobi Dick.

It was a creature worth its Chaos status. Everywhere it touched, things started to melt away from its acidic aura.

The huge mass of the whale was made up of magic and extremely light. It floated upon the sea of corrupted abyssal magic underneath it.

The monster itself had no conscious thought about where it was headed. It was a slave of its magic and would go where the magic to it.

And this was what Aurora was counting on to save her.

The root of all her problems was the wave of magic beneath the huge whale. If Aurora could influence it, then she could divert the huge mass toward where she wanted it to go.

But it would deplete Aurora of her magic for a long time. It might also cause some lasting after-effects but that was something Aurora could think about later.

“System began diverting my magic and create a link with the abyssal magic beneath Mobi Dick”

[Affirmative]

Aurora felt the first burn of the abyss magic touch her. It was worse than anything she had ever experienced before and it ate away at her magic.

The more time Aurora spend connected to the magic, the more she got used to it. But the burn did not lessen at all. It just kept on growing and growing by the second.

“System, take control of my moments and lead us away.”

Aurora had not meant to use her system this much. It had been a last resort she had programmed inside its commands but it looked like she had no other choice.

The more magic that flowed out of Aurora, the more her control over her limbs loosened.

At this point, Aurora was moving through sheer will-force and determination. Aurora knew she was forcing her body to move in unnatural ways.

But she decided to keep on pushing ahead just a bit more. All because of the solid presence she could feel behind her.

Astoria was finally here.

“How dare you step outside your domain. Go back to where you belong.”

Aurora felt her connection with Mobi Dick snap and her legs give out as the huge magic blast overtook her senses.

Familiar silver hairs covered her vision as Aurora looked up toward blue eyes.

“Why are you always in trouble? You make me question my decision of following you sometimes.”

Finally, Aurora could rest. Astoria was here.

But Mobi Dick was not done at all. Its loud roar cut through the surrounding valley and shook the earth. The beast was angry.
