Chapter 303 The Strange Space Within the Abyss of Death

Benjamin was actually not late.

When Benjamin arrived at the edge of the battlefield, the fight between Elder Lawrence and Irving had just begun not long ago. The powers of the two were evenly matched, making it impossible for either of them to quickly defeat the other.

Seeing this scene, Benjamin took a pocket watch from his pocket. He threw the watch heavily in Irving's direction.

"This item can help you gain an advantage in battle! What should I do next? I feel like I can't provide you with any direct assistance in this fight."

Benjamin was very self-aware. He believed that his own strength was not enough to join the battle between Irving and Elder Lawrence. Both Irving and Elder Lawrence were top-tier fighters. The battle between these two supreme beings was extremely dangerous.

Irving caught the pocket watch that Benjamin had thrown. The watch had a time-slowing effect. This meant that Irving could use it to escape Elder Lawrence's entanglement. He did not want to continue the meaningless fight with Elder Lawrence; he wanted to head to the Abyss of Death as soon as possible. Sophia and Elder Seville had already jumped into the Abyss of Death.

There must be something very important inside. It could be some kind of power or perhaps an incredibly precious item.

"You don't need to provide me with any help! Just make sure you keep yourself safe! I'm about to move forward!"

As soon as Irving finished speaking, he smashed the pocket watch. The moment the watch shattered, time around Irving began to flow very slowly. Although Elder Lawrence acted immediately upon seeing what Irving had done, his response was unsuccessful. Elder Lawrence's movement speed also became extremely slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Irving quickly bypassed Elder Lawrence and advanced deeper into the Abyss of Death. The reason Irving chose to smash the watch was that he knew the effects of the watch alone would not be enough to restrict Elder Lawrence's long-lasting time, and it might not even be able to limit him at all.

Thus, Irving decided to shatter the watch, releasing all the power that slowed time.

Irving's decision was indeed quite reasonable. Elder Lawrence was slowed down for about a few minutes. Irving could use this time to reach the edge of the Abyss of Death.

During this time, Benjamin also took action by finding a very concealed spot to hide. He knew that if Irving left Elder Lawrence, he would become the primary target of attack. Therefore, Benjamin had to ensure his own safety.

A few minutes later, Elder Lawrence finally regained the ability to move freely. He first scanned the surroundings with anger, trying to locate the hiding Benjamin. In his eyes, Benjamin was the culprit responsible for his predicament. Thus, Elder Lawrence aimed to eliminate Benjamin first.

However, the hiding spot Benjamin had chosen was extremely well-concealed, and Elder Lawrence ultimately could not find him. At this point, Irving had already reached the edge of the Abyss of Death and jumped into it without hesitation. This situation made Elder Lawrence feel he was running out of time. Consequently, he hurried to the edge of the Abyss of Death as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving, Elder Lawrence also jumped into the Abyss without any hesitation.

Only after confirming that Elder Lawrence had left did Benjamin slowly come out of his hiding place.

"What's going on? Why did they both jump into the Abyss of Death? Is there really something very important inside? Should I also step into the Abyss of Death?" Benjamin was filled with confusion. He felt that he should also enter the Abyss of Death. However, he was aware that the Abyss was extremely dangerous.

So, while hesitating, Benjamin cautiously moved toward the Abyss of Death.

What Benjamin failed to notice was that behind him, one monster after another was closely following his footsteps. These monsters were all lurking deep within the swamp, which is why Benjamin did not detect them.

As he reached the edge of the Abyss of Death, Benjamin was taken aback by the power contained within it. The Abyss of Death was not just filled with dark power. At that moment, it resembled a massive spiral, with various strange forces emitting a dazzling array of colors within the spiral.

Benjamin was also drawn to these powerful forces. However, he ultimately remained calm, knowing that if he jumped into the Abyss of Death, he would undoubtedly face unimaginable dangers. After hesitating for a while, he decided to contact a member of the Angel Guild.

At that time, Nick, a member of the Angel Guild, was already preparing for battle in the Desolate Canyon. In addition to making battle preparations, Nick was searching for the whereabouts of Aron and Anna. Irving had roughly assessed the overall situation after discovering the corpse of the Werewolf God.

He knew that Elder Lawrence and Sophia needed to hurry to the Abyss of Death, so it was unlikely that Elder Lawrence would take Aron and Anna with him. This meant that Aron and Anna were definitely being held at some secret location.

Irving communicated this information to Nick, who promptly set off for the Desolate Canyon to search for Aron and Anna. After receiving Benjamin's message, a look of confusion crossed Nick's face.

"Is there really something very valuable deep within the Abyss of Death? Why have Aron and Anna never mentioned it?" Nick was skeptical about the existence of anything important within the Abyss of Death. All members of the Angel Guild, including Nick, believed that aside from the powerful dark forces, there was nothing else in the depths of the Abyss.

They held a dismissive attitude towards dark power and had no intention of venturing deep into the Abyss of Death.

"If you think it's very dangerous around the Abyss of Death, then you should come here. I haven't found any clues, so I urgently need your help." Nick thought it was pointless for Benjamin to stay near the Abyss of Death, and it would be better for him to come to help continue the search for Aron and Anna.

After receiving Nick's message, Benjamin thought for a moment and ultimately decided to head to the Desolate Canyon. Upon arriving, he and Nick exchanged the information they had gathered. In the end, they could only reluctantly admit that they did not know much about Irving's entire operation. It seemed they were unable to provide Irving with much assistance.

"I don't think we need to be too disappointed. After all, Irving is much stronger than we are. He is the only one capable of entering the Abyss of Death. What we need to do is search for Aron and Anna in the Desolate Canyon. As long as we can find them, we will have made a significant contribution." Benjamin finally said to Nick with a smile.

Nick nodded in agreement with Benjamin's viewpoint.

Thus, Benjamin and Nick began to continue their search for Aron and Anna's whereabouts in the Desolate Canyon. In fact, the two of them had already discovered some clues.

However, they were unable to immediately locate Aron and Anna based on the clues they had. At the same time, the Abyss of Death suddenly underwent drastic changes. The surface of the Abyss began to close up. The once flowing dark power solidified, much like water freezing into ice. This transformation prevented anyone from entering the Abyss of Death any longer.

Monsters surrounding the Abyss congregated on its surface, seemingly channeling all the power they possessed into the Abyss. Everyone inside the Abyss of Death felt the corresponding change in power. However, each person's situation inside the Abyss was quite different.

At that moment, Irving had just entered the Abyss of Death. He quickly discovered that the interior was divided into many layers, each possessing unique powers. After passing through an indeterminate number of layers, Irving entered a very peculiar space. This space was composed of various chaotic structures, all pieced together in a bizarre manner.

The entire area resembled a surreal dream, lacking logic yet leaving a profound impression.

As Irving entered this space, he recalled a situation he had encountered before. The ancestors of the Smith family had once utilized the powers of chaos to create a similar environment. This time, Irving was not as tense as before; he merely observed his surroundings with caution.

Suddenly, a figure materialized behind him—it was the projection of Elder Lawrence. Without hesitation, Irving launched an attack the moment the figure appeared. He wielded his staff, conjuring powerful spells that flew toward Elder Lawrence.

However, these spells did not hit Elder Lawrence; instead, they passed through him and struck the structures behind him. Realizing this, Irving understood that Elder Lawrence was merely an illusory projection.

"You shouldn't be here! The power you possess belongs to the Taikoo Divine Clan. Do you really believe that the power of the Taikoo Divine Clan can unite with the dark forces? Even if you have received blessings from some powerful entity, you won't be able to control the dark powers successfully," the illusory projection of Elder Lawrence slowly advised Irving, urging him to leave.

Upon hearing this, Irving calmly retorted, "Who exactly are you? Why are you urging me to leave? I don't believe you are Elder Lawrence; you must be a projection created by some consciousness in this space. Therefore, I need to know your true intentions!"
