To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 184: To the Depth of Hell

North Coast Palace / 

Skadi and Unheil just started their fight. But they already destroyed the back of the palace. 

"You can stand against my demonic form this long. You are no ordinary warrior."

The reason why Skadi could stand that long thanks to Silver Sky Staff power. 

Unheil could moving fast and has dangerous attack. Skadi's body could not stand receiving Unheil's consecutive strikes. If not because of the effectiveness of Silver Sky Staff''s power, she would have gotten many wounds. 

"But, it's time to end – "

Their fight got disturbed by a flare gun shot. 

"What is that?"

Unheil did not know what happened. 

For Skadi, she immediately responded to that flare gun shot by striking a ground slash at Unheil, a ground slash that covered them in dust. 

Unheil jumped to a certain building roof. 

"What is she?"

Unheil asking Skadi's action for a moment. Then realized that was just a diversion. 

"So, just now was a call for her."

Mild Yellow Stone / 

Arlene and the boys had done setting up a mini bunker for the carriage. A magic bunker installed with four pillars. Has four peephole on each corner for the ranged attacker to cover. 

Above the bunker, installed a ballista that shot laser. A Black Sky Spine ballista. Which was fitted with armor to strengthen its defence.

"Is that an Emperor level of fighting?" 

Lian, Richard, and Bradley are witnessing a grand battle between the Greedy Young Master versus the Wrath Samurai. 

They splitting the sky. Shot really strong explosive projectiles that shaken the earth. A battle that created a rumble over a great distance. 

"Boys! Don't get too carried away in the battle of those two monsters!"

They cannot help that. Because they are boys that will get fascinated by such scenery. 

"We have our own fight to face!"

Arlene's orders came along with an enemy they were about to face.

"You sure have a good preparation for this fight."

Echidna, the Virtue of Charity, came to them by flying with her butterfly wings. 

"Wow! Sexy!"

Echidna is their enemy. But Bradley could not handle the glamor of Echidna's sexy apparel. 

Previously, Echidna was wearing a full cleric clothes that cover all her body. But that moment, she is wearing whitish tight clothes that showed all the curves of her body. Like a sexy winged goddess in recent games. 

"I see that there is a cultured in one of you. How about you come with me? I will make you my servant and reward you worthly."

"WITH PLEASURE!"

Bradley without hesitation about to switch sides. But, in an instant, he got bonked by Xian Ling. 

"You stupid! She is Soul Saint's children! There won't anything good if you come with her!"

Xian Ling drags Bradley back to their bunker. 

"What a shame."

Echidna regretted Bradley's cancel. 

With just looking at Echidna, who is flying with abyssal wings, has given them goosebumps. That part of abyssal body was very hard to obtained. 

There are only a few people recorded who has that kind of abyssal body. But at that time, a person that great would become their opponent.

"Hey, leader, do you think we could win against her?" asked Xian Ling. 

Given such a question, Lian Wei, who has experience fighting a Black Hunter group, not sure on how to answer. 

"She is in the whole different level of Black Hunter that I had fought."

Has abyssal wings. Her mana flowing around her like aroma surrounding a delicious food. 

"Has sexy body."

"You, shut up!"

As newly Platinum Hunter, their feelings were filled with worry.

"Don't worry too much."

Suddenly, their superior told them to don't worry too much when they hardly can't. 

"She won't come to us herself."

"What do you mean, Miss Arlene?" asked Xian Ling. 

"Because she is a Summoner."

Right after that warning, the ground far ahead shaken. Then at some point there was an explosion that appeared along with the monsters jumping in each explosive hole. 

"What the heck is that monster?"

Four legged but their two front feet is bigger. Has no eyes. Their mouth is wide like a fish full with sharp teeth. Their roar is terrifyingly scary. When they run, they are running like a maniac. 

"[The Lost Ones: Rockhand]!"

There are seven of them. Their whereabouts were not recorded in the 'monster record'.

"What are they? Why are they so scary?!"

Bradley represented all the feelings of his party members.

[The Lost Ones: Rockhand]. It was the name Echidna had mentioned as the name of the monsters.

"Most likely all of them are her creation!"

Arlene is the one who knows better about Echidna.

Echidna is a Summoner. There are only a few summoners in Abyssal. However, Echidna was different from the others. Because she only summon monster she created. 

"She is so beautiful and all! But she created all those monsters?! So scary!"

That really can't be imagined.

Just like their name, Rockhand, they are running with trampling hard all their front feet step. Their front legs crushed the foothold. They are like running fast gorillas.

"Xian Ling! Could you destroy the ground 10 meters from our position on my mark?!"

"Destroying the ground?"

Xian Ling did not know what was Arlene thinking. But, she believed and will carry out the order.

The Rockhands are getting closer to them. Their speed is not a problem. But the sound of their huge front footsteps gave chills tot heir target. 

"Uh, Xian Ling?"

Arlene has yet to give the order. So Xian Ling hasn't done her job.

"They are getting real close?!"

The Rockhands were like already in front of their eyes. 

"Not yet!"

But Arlene still has not give the order. 

"Richard!"

Richard stood in front of the bunker. Ready to hold those monster coming. 

"We are dead!"

The seven Rockhands were like a tank, the real ones. They seemed like they would easily break their defenses.

"Now!"

"[Fortress Collapsing]!"

Xian Ling stamp her wand to the ground and destroys the ground in their front. Become an impromptu trap that stops the Rockhand. Just five of the seven monster though, but still a success. 

Right after that, Arlene shot five laser to each fallen Rockhands. Killing them with just one shot. 

At the same time, the two remaining Rockhands took a detour in two directions.

"Boys! They are yours!"

The two remaining Rockhands are the boy problem to handle. 

Lian alone in the right side. Richard and Bradley are in left. 

Before the warriors fought one-on-one with the new monsters, Sara gave them blessings.

"For the Staff Saint who bring the light to this dark world. Please bless our warrior to face the evil. [Lion's Heart]!"

Sara's Arts raise the courage of the three warriors. They were no longer afraid to face the new type of monster.

In Lian's side, he without hesitation run forward, came to Rockhand who opened its mouth wide to pounce on Lian.

"[Wind Move – Smooth Avoid: Asura's Slash]!"

Lian manages to split Rockhand's head with one cut.

In the Richard and Bradley's side. Richard raise his shield, block the upcoming Rockhand, then repel back the monster. 

On behind, Bradley is ready with his attack. 

"[Great Lighting Arrow]!"

The two of them manages to one shot kill  their part quite easily. 

Arlene was made to smile at the cooperation they did. She did not expected that their cooperation would be smooth, and her junior are also doing their best at the fight. 

"Are you sure you want to be that confident now? We are just about to begin."

Echidna trying to provoke them. 

But, Arlene will not let her enemy bring down their spirit. 

"Well, bring it on! You can summon all the monsters you have if you want!"

"Miss Arlene, please, no!"

Became so confident, Arlene provoked Echidna back. Bradley warned to don't do that. 

"Well, if that what you want."

Echidna spread her arms wide. That movement spawned all the monsters that were in front of the land of the North Coast Palace. There were hundreds of them.

"Ahh, she had done it."

In the Middle of Mild Yellow Stone's Grand Battle / 

"Is that all you have?"

Yamato was look down upon Ars. Who was kneeling because he was out of breath.

"Well, give my heart back and I will defeat you in no time!"

"A warrior shouldn't make excuses in battle."

Yamato in an instand moved to Ars and swing his katana. 

Ars already shifted to Yamato's back and launched [Three Explosive Breath].

That explosion has 5000 point power. But, did not inflict any wounds on Yamato.

"Does a warrior always attack to their enemy's back?"

"You always talk about warrior this and warrior that. I am not a warrior! I am a winner and I would do anything so I can win!"

"Isn't that a philosophy used by losers?"

Yamato swing his katana horizontally. That cut Ars's shadow, but not the real one. 

"You speak like that when you rely on someone else's heart for life?"

Ars swung Hinayan Pride Warhammer from Yamato's back.

Yamato block the attack with just his left hand. A really heavy warhammer being block with just one hand. 

"It is not the matter of excuse. It is the matter of purpose."

"Give my heart back then I would get straight of my purpose!"

Ars hit Yamato again. That time Yamato only received but block the attack again. 

"What is your purpose?"

"To this Depth of Hell!"
