Chapter 1144  Don’t Worry, I Am Not Anyone Suspicious

Blackfire didn't dare to devour the Fallen Angel who had long died from Lux's countless punches.

Despite the fact that his opponent had already died, the Half-Elf continued to smash the Fallen Angel's face until it turned to meat paste.

The Giant Skeleton King was no longer pinning Eligor's body with the Golden Spear, allowing Lux to continue venting his anger, creating shock waves with each punch that he delivered.

After he had smashed the Fallen Angel's head, Lux did the same thing to his body, shouting every time he delivered a blow.

Only after half of his body had been mushed, blending into the ground, did the Half-Elf finally stop. He then raised his head to the sky.

"Erioooooooooooooooooooool!" Lux roared. "Give her back to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The God of Games, who was still not fully recovered after the battle with Daniel, slowly opened his eyes.

He then slowly propped himself up, gathering what remaining strength he had to stand up.

With a heavy sigh, Eriol descended upon the world, appearing in front of the Half-Elf who was still calling out his name.

The moment he descended into Elysium, time came to a complete stop. Only the Half-Elf was not affected by this phenomenon, allowing him to talk to the God who ruled over Elysium. "Aurora," Lux said hoarsely. "Give me her soul. I won't ask for anything else. Just give me her soul! As long as I have it, I can revive her. So, please, give me her soul!"

Eriol sighed before shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, Lux. But I can't," Eriol replied.

"Why?" Lux asked as he closed the distance between him and the God of Games. "Why can't you give me her soul? Is it too much to ask? Aren't you the God of this world?! Why can't you give me her soul?!"

The Half-Elf had grabbed Eriol's clothes and pulled him close to him, staring at the God of Games with bloodshot eyes.

Before Eriol could even answer, a hand landed on Lux's shoulder, stopping him from doing something that he might regret later.

"Lux, calm down first," Max said. "Do not forget that both of us are always on your side. We have always been on your side."

The God of Games then gently pried the Half-Elf's hands off Eriol's body, which was still in a weakened state.

Max was in the same boat as Eriol, but he was faring much better than his friend.

Because of this, he decided to break the news to Lux, whose entire body was shuddering due to anger, anxiety, hopelessness, and desperation.

"You have done your best for both Elysium and Solais," Max said softly. "Because of this, we are willing to bend the rules for your sake. However, we can not do what we can not do. You asked us to give you Aurora's Soul, but if it were possible, we would have done it even if you didn't ask. Unfortunately, Aurora's soul is no longer in this world."

The Half-Elf looked at the God of Gamblers, whose face was very pale. However, Lux was in no condition to care about Max's circumstances because there was only one thing on his mind, and that was to obtain his lover's soul.

As long as he was able to do that, he could ask Blackfire to store her inside its body. Lux would then find the perfect vessel for her so that she would be reborn in the world, more powerful than ever before.

But after hearing Max's explanation, he felt as if a hole had appeared in his heart, which would not be healing anytime soon.

"D-Did her soul enter the Cycle of Reincarnation?" Lux asked with trembling lips. "Perhaps it would have been better if that were the case," Max replied in a bitter tone. "But to answer your question, her soul didn't enter the Cycle of Reincarnation."

Lux felt his heart turn cold after hearing Max's reply. There had only been one person whom he and his Grand Master had been unable to resurrect due to special circumstances, and that was none other than his Master, Gaap.

Lux felt as if his soul had left his body, making him fall onto his knees.

His mouth opened and closed as if wanting to let out a word. But a part of him was afraid to ask the question he was dreading.

If Aurora suffered the same condition as his Master, then there was nothing that Lux could do to bring her back to his side.

Perhaps noticing that the young man was close to breaking, Max crouched down and rested his hands on Lux's shoulders.

"Aurora's soul didn't disappear," Max stated firmly. "But it is currently in a place that is far from our reach."

Lux, slowly raised his head to look at the God of Games, who was looking at him with sadness.

"Where is her soul?" Lux asked.

"In the Abyss," Max replied. "All souls that have been killed by Abyssal Creatures don't enter the Cycle of Reincarnation. They are either trapped in the place where they died, forever becoming bound spirits of the land, like what happened in Zangrila.

"This is just one of the two instances of what happens to those who were killed by the Abyssal Monsters. The second is that their souls would go to the Abyss, where they are reborn as an Abyssal Creature."

Lux didn't answer right away as his mind, which was in a clouded haze, tried to process Max's words.

A few minutes later, he finally understood what Max was trying to tell him.

"So she's in the Abyss right now?" Lux asked.

"Since her spirit isn't in this world, then yes, she is currently in the Abyss," Max replied.

Lux slowly stood up and looked at the God of Gamblers before shifting his gaze to the God of Games.

"Send me to the Abyss," Lux stated. "That is all I ask."

Eriol bit his lip before lowering his head.

"The connection of Elysium and Solais in the Abyss has been severed," Eriol stated. "Although its power is still able to flow to this world and back, it is impossible for you to go there. I also don't have the strength to open a path for you."

"Then what's the point?" Lux asked as he closed his eyes. "Since I can't go to the Abyss, I will not be able to retrieve the Golden Lion from Daniel's hands. Without the Pillars of Eternity, Solais is done for."

Max, who had remained silent, sighed.

"Lux, you know that Daniel is in the Abyss and is probably thinking of ways to restore the connection between the three worlds even as we speak. However, once he succeeds, it will not only be Solais that will be destroyed. Elysium will suffer the same fate.

"So let me ask you—despite the fact that there is a possibility that you will never be able to return after you arrive in the Abyss, are you still going there to look for Aurora?"

"Yes," Lux answered in a heartbeat. "I will go no matter what. Even if Daniel is there, I must go find her."

Max looked at the Half-Elf's eyes, which were brimming with determination and desperation.

"Understood," Max said. "Wait for us in Zangrila."

After saying those words, Max moved close to Eriol and supported his body. Both Gods turned into particles of light and disappeared.

At that exact moment, time started to flow again, making Eiko, who was very worried about her Papa, land beside him.

"Pa…" Eiko hugged Lux's body with tears falling down her face. Lux didn't answer, but he still hugged the Fairy Princess, who was hurting because she could feel his pain.

"Eiko, I will be going to Zangrila for a while," Lux said. "Please protect everyone, while I'm gone."

"… Un," Eiko nodded her head obediently after hearing her papa's words.

Lux patted her head affectionately before turning into a beam of light.

The ring Gaap had left him before his passing allowed him to do several things.

It could help him go to the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, as well as to Zangrila, where he had met his Master for the first time.

After arriving in the place that bordered Solais and Elysium, Lux found himself surrounded by Abyssal Monsters of Calamity Rank and below.

All of them were surprised that a living creature had appeared in their midst, which made all of them giddy.

Roars, screeches, and shrieks reverberated in the surroundings as all Abyssal Monsters attacked the lone Half-Elf, who had come to their territory to die.

A Calamity-Ranked Wyvern swooped down from the sky, about to unleash a Dragon's Breath at the Half-Elf.

But before it could do so, a Giant Dracolich manifested in front of it and smashed its head with its bony tail.

The other Calamity-Ranked Monsters weren't deterred by the Dracolich's appearance and simply charged at the Half-Elf, who was still standing still.

Black shadowy figures appeared around the Half-Elf like a Black Tide, expanding outward.

"Hellfire Annihilation!"

Diablo pierced the head of a Calamity-Ranked Flaming Bull, who was charging towards his Master from behind.

Ishtar unleashed a barrage of arrows, turning everything she hit into ice statues.

Pazuzu roared as he threw his spiked mace, obliterating all the low-ranking Abyssal Creatures that it hit.

A twenty-meter-tall Ancient Adamantine Golem materialized on Lux's right side, trampling those who were within his strike range.

A lone skull whose entire being was burning in white flames opened its mouth and unleashed a cone of white flames, killing everything within its range.

Asmodeus snapped his fingers, and a dozen Tombstones appeared around them, summoning countless Greater Zombies that tore the flesh of anything they could grab.

Hundreds of Shadow Warriors rose up from the ground and charged at their enemies, starting a bloodbath. Draven stood beside his Master with his arms crossed over his chest, like a bodyguard who would not allow anything to get past him.

A Dragon Breath descended from the sky as Bedivere charged at the horde of flying monsters. The sword in his hand radiated with a golden light.

Dozens of Swords shredded the monsters in its path as the Fallen War God, Revon, walked like a killing machine.

Black and white lightning bolts rained down in the surroundings as Zagan made his appearance.

Countless Abyssal Monsters were sliced in half as a creature without a face flew past them. The Nightgaunt, Shax, had also arrived to answer its Master's call.

A howl filled with malice made Lux's enemies subconsciously shudder as the Strigoi, Andras, started a one-sided massacre, killing everything in its path.

At that exact moment, a loud and domineering voice reverberated in the surroundings.

"United Nation's Smash!"

A beam of golden light obliterated nearly a fifth of all the Abyssal Monsters in the city of Zangrila as the Strongest Member of Lux's Covenant arrived.

"Have no Fear," ALL-MITE declared. "I AM HERE!"

Lux didn't even need to do anything as his Named Creatures and the Members of his Covenant slaughtered all the Abyssal Monsters in the city of Zangrila in just a span of a few minutes.

After everything was over, the Half-Elf sat on the highest roof that he could find and closed his eyes to rest.

He was thinking of Aurora and the moments they shared together. An hour passed…

Two hours passed…

Several hours passed…

Lux didn't know how much time had passed. However, he was broken out of his reminiscing when he heard a voice coming from his side.

"A gloomy-looking Half-Elf. Well, I guess their descriptions match you perfectly."

Lux slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was an old man with white hair, wearing an eye patch.

He looked like any ordinary old man that one would see in any city. But a single glance was enough to tell Lux that this person was either a scammer or a bandit due to the devilish smile that was plastered on the other party's face, which was reminiscent of the con artists that he had seen in the movies back on Earth.

"Are you Lux Von Kaizer?" the old man asked. "Yes," Lux replied. "Who are you?

"Don't worry, I am not anyone suspicious."

"That's what all suspicious people say."

The old man laughed and nodded his head in agreement.

"Max and Eriol sent me," the old man stated. "They said that a handsome Half-Elf is desperate to rescue his beloved in a place that can not be reached using normal means. Is that true?"

"Yes," Lux answered. "Who are you, Old Man?"

The Old Man smiled and flashed the Half-Elf a smile that would put toothpaste models to shame.

"The name is James," James answered. "James Von Ainsworth, and I've decided to take a stroll in the Abyss. Are you interested in coming with me?"

Lux knew that the person in front of him was a scammer. But he was willing to take the chance.

As long as he was able to go to the Abyss, he didn't mind paying a hefty price if it meant that he would be reunited with his beloved, who had sacrificed her life to save not only him but also the Ancient Kingdom that was very dear in her heart.
