Book 11, Necropolis of the Gods – Chapter 29, Abyssal de Demon


    “Haha...” In the air above the ind, the experts all began tough loudly.


    Desriughed and mocked, “Fain, that Thorium Devil, Louis, possessed a Pearl of Life. He thought you would only be able to injure him at most. Of course he didn’t mind you...but the power of your ultimate attack, a Saint level warrior, actually exceeded forbidden-level spells.”


    “Thus, that poor fellow died, just like that.” Tulily began tough as well.


    The experts were all extremely happy to have killed that Thorium Devil. That meant they could easily enter the tenth floor, which definitely wouldn’t be too dangerous. After dealing with the creatures of the tenth floor, they would be able to quietly prepare to enter the eleventh floor.


    Once they seeded...the divine spark would be theirs!


    “With this Pearl of Life, our chances for sess on the eleventh floor will have increased.” Fain looked at the Pearl of Life in his hands, delighted. He immediately bound it with blood, and the Pearl of Life absorbed that drop of blood like a sponge, then directly merged with Fain’s body.


    Feeling the swirling life energy in his body, Fain felt extremely confident.


    “Does everyone want to rest? Or shall we head directly to the tenth floor.” Desri nced at everyone else.


    “No need to rest. The only one injured in our battle with the Thorium Devil was Fain.” Tulilyughed.


    Everyone looked at Fain, whoughed and said, “Just then, the injury I sustained was fairly heavy, but I’m already in good shape now. Let’s go. It is just the tenth floor. It won’t be too dangerous.”


    In truth, right now, Fain wasn’t in perfect condition.


    Although the ‘Pearl of Life’ had already returned his body to peak condition, after executing the ‘Lightning Dragons Descend’ technique, a great deal of spiritual energy had been consumed, which this Pearl of Life could not replenish.


    However, Fain didn’t mind. They were only going to the tenth floor, after all.


    Before entering the tenth floor, everyone carefully searched the area to see if any other divine artifacts were present. But the result of their search was that...sess on the ninth floor’s only reward was this Pearl of Life. To Saint-levelbatants, the importance of a Pearl of Life was indeed greater than an ordinary divine artifact’s.


    The tenth floor of the Necropolis of the Gods. Eleven experts appeared in the middle of the air of the tenth floor.


    “The environment’s not bad.” Linleyughed as he nced at the surrounding area.


    “After dealing with the creatures of the tenth floor, we can have a good rest and make some preparations. Whether or not we’ll be able to get a divine spark will depend on how we perform on the eleventh floor.” Desri chortled.


    The group of experts all scanned their surroundings.


    This was a beautiful grasnd, covered with a boundless sea of green grass, with asionally a few wild flowers growing in clusters. The clear, fresh air also was quitefortable to everyone.


    “Where are the creatures of the tenth floor?” Rosarie was searching intently.


    “Don’t bother searching.” A Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion said. “Let’s go search for the exit to the eleventh floor. Perhaps the creature will be there. Let’s find the exit, then dispose of the creature. Everyone will be able to have a good rest then and prepare for the final battle. Sess or failure...it all rides on this.”


    The experts all nodded, and then began carefully searching this great grasnd.


    This grasnd actually wasn’tpletely t, and actually had some rolling hills. Those depressions might be hiding a powerful creature, or perhaps the exit. If they didn’t fly close while inspecting, they wouldn’t be able to find it.


    “Look.” Bebe cried out in surprise and joy. “There’s a stone pir up front, and it seems there is an exit beneath the pir.”


    The experts immediately flew over.


    The stone pir was roughly three meters in diameter and twenty meters tall. It seemed very ancient and in. No one could guess how long it had been there for. It was carved with many mystic runes. Beneath the pir, there was an entrance to a tunnel, and from the outside, one could see a set of stairs that glowed with a dark aura.


    “Right here.” The experts felt their hearts calm down.


    Having found this tunnel, if they continued through it, they would arrive at the eleventh floor.


    “Swish...”


    Suddenly, a brilliant light shed across the grasnds, flying out at high speed. This sh of light charged towards the nearest person, Fain. The eleven experts had never rxed their vignce, and upon seeing that sh, everyone knew what it was: The creature on the tenth floor had finally arrived.


    “Hrmph.” When this sh of light reached a few meters from Fain, Fain immediately flew backwards like a bolt of lightning.


    Fain’s speed was the fastest amongst these eleven experts, with only Desri and Bebe a match for him.


    However...


    “ng.” Weapons intersected.


    Fain was knocked flying backwards, doing a somersault in mid-air as hended on the ground. His face was slightly pale, and there was a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth. Only, the ‘Pearl of Life’ in his body activated, almost instantly restoring his body to peak condition.


    “What is that?” Linley and the other experts were next to Fain.


    The eleven experts all stared at the creature which had suddenly appeared.


    This creature’s entire body seemed to reflect its surroundings. Its body was entirely formed from metal, but this metal...seemed to be like steel that had been reforged a hundred times over. Like a sharp de, it reflected its surroundings like a mirror, except it was slightly more blurry than a mirror.


    It was human in shape, two meters tall,pletely made out of metal.


    On its forehead, there was a single horn that looked like a sharp knife. His shoulders also had sharp knives atop it, and his arms and legs were all sharp des, and both the front and back sides of his arms had sharpened edges. Without question, a kick of this creature’s legs or a swipe of its arms would be like a broadsword striking down. Even its hands and its fingers were sharp, edged des.


    On its back, there was one de after another running down its spine as well.


    “Its entire body is made of des. Leg, hand, arm, the top of his head...even his back has a de.” Bebe sighed in amazement.


    “Absolutely a war machine.” Tulily spoke as well.


    Fain said in a low voice, “Everyone, be careful. This de-covered monstrosity is extremely fast, a match for me. When that de of his chopped down against me, the power of the blow was definitely enough to badly injure us. Linley, most likely even your defense would find it hard to take that blow.”


    Everyone understood.


    Fain was extremely powerful, but he was still knocked flying by that de, with a hint of blood appearing in his mouth.


    “Although the tenth floor is simple, that’s still onlyparison to the sixth through ninth floors.” Linley understood. “Although this monster is powerful,pared to the Queen Mother, the me Tyrant, the Beholder King, and the Thorium Devil, it is much weaker.”


    Although it seemed like the Thorium Devil had been killed easily, if it weren’t for the fact that Fain had been the perfect counter to it, the Thorium Devil, capable of fusing with the earth, with fire, with water, or with the wind and gain different powers, definitely wasn’t something the likes of Linley were able to destroy.


    This monster in front of them seemed fairly powerful.


    But in truth, any one of the eleven experts, if going all out, could dispose of it.


    “Grrr....” The ded monstrosity in front of them growled softly, staring death at Linley’s group, but perhaps he could sense that the power of these eleven expertsbined was far beyond what he could ovee. Thus, he didn’t dare to attack rashly.


    “This is an Abyssal de Demon.” One of the Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lions said.


    “Abyssal de Demon?” Linley and the others all looked at the Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion in confusion.


    The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion nodded. “In the countless nes, the Four Higher nes and the Seven Divine Realms are the most powerful eleven nes. Aside from these eleven dimensions, there are some other unique nes as well, which aren’t weaker than them in power. For example...the Abyss!”


    “The Abyssal ne is reputed to be the most chaotic, anarchic ne in all of the universe, and the ne with the most warfare and ughter.” The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion sighed.


    Linley was secretly surprised as he heard this.


    The most chaotic? With the most ughter? He couldpletely imagine how terrifying this ‘Abyss’ was.


    “Abyssal de Demons are one of the creatures which the Abyss has given birth to.” The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion said. “Abyssal de Demons, in the Abyss, are the lowest level of life form, much like ants in the Yn continent. They are extremely weak and powerless.”


    Linley and these other experts all maintained their silence.


    This Abyssal de Demons was no weaker than them.


    But in the legendary Abyss, it was the weakest type of creature.


    “Generally speaking, only Deities dare to travel to the Abyss from other nes. Saint-level Abyssal de Demons naturally are the weakest creatures there.” The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion said. “Abyssal de Demons are mostly born for ughter.”


    Linley’s group secretly nodded.


    They all saw how the body of this Abyssal de Demon in front of them was constructed. Wasn’t it indeed created for ughter? Every single part of its body could transform into a murderous weapon.


    “Abyssal de Demons are as fast as lightning, and possess iparably powerful attacks. Their body, being made from special metals, have quite impressive defense as well. Naturally...if we fight at full strength, we can still kill this Abyssal de Demon.” The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion said.


    The Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion spoke in quite a casual manner, clearly not worried about this Abyssal de Demon in front of them at all.


    The Abyssal de Demon looked cautiously at the group of experts in front of it, and then...


    “Swish.”


    The Abyssal de Demon actually fled. But just as the Abyssal de Demon fled, Bebe moved. A shing light was speeding across the grasnds, with Bebe behind in hot pursuit. The two actually hadparable speed, but then the Abyssal de Demon suddenly charged underground.


    “Shkreeeeeeeeee!”


    Bebe excitedly dug into the ground as well.


    “It shouldn’t be hard for Bebe to dispose of this Abyssal de Demon, given his power.” Linley was still quite confident in Bebe’s abilities.


    The Shadowshape Doppelganger Technique alone would guarantee his survival, and in addition, Bebe had definitely received some tutge while at Beirut’s side.


    “The Abyss...” Tulily said in a soft voice. “If in my lifetime, I were to have the chance to experience the Abyss, I would die happy.”


    Desri and the others looked at Tulily, chuckling.


    “No rush. If we are to leave immediately, we’d still only be able to go to the Four Higher nes for now.” Desri said. “In addition, I expect that the passage from one ne to another is most likely extremely difficult. I imagine the battles in the Higher nes would already be enough to satisfy you.”


    Tulily nodded slightly.


    Desri, Tulily, Linly, and all the others understood.


    In their ordinary, material ne, as Saints, they were indeed the most powerful creatures in existence. But upon arriving in the Higher nes, Saints would be the lowest rung in thedder, and after them would be the Demigods....who most likely were nothing more than average.


    Thus, they held back and were in no rush to go to the Higher nes.


    “Boom!” A massive earthquake erupted underground, causing the ground to split open, creating a massive crevice. The experts all stared down through the massive crevice.


    Linleyughed. “The Abyssal de Demon died.”


    Bebe flew out from within that crevice, dragging with him a metallic corpse that had been ripped in half. It was the Abyssal de Demon.


    “This Abyssal de Demon’s attack truly is powerful.” Bebe sighed in amazement. “Most likely if I had been hit by him, even I would have been injured.”


    The experts were all secretly amazed.


    Bebe was a Godeater Rat. Although he was still in his growth period, his defense was already extremely, astonishingly high. If even Bebe said such a thing...then one could imagine how powerful the Abyssal de Demon’s attack truly was.


    “The des on the back of the Abyssal de Demon are fine weapons.” A Six-Eyed Golden Ni-Lion sighed in praise. “The Abyssal de Demon’s body naturally generates powerful des from its essence, but the most powerful de is the one on its back.”


    “Right. That de is extremely sharp.” Bebe pulled out and tossed that de to everyone.


    This rather beautiful, graceful killing weapony there on the ground, and the surrounding grass was actually torn apart, just by the sharp aura emanating from this killing weapon. The sharpness of the weapon wasparable to low level divine artifacts. It truly was incredible.


    “Who wants this de?” Bebe said. “I don’t need it. My ws are fiercer.” Bebe waved his little paws.


    Linley and Olivier didn’t say anything. They already had their own weapons. Desri and Rosarie were Grand Magus Saints and didn’t need it either. Fain was a sword expert, not a de expert. As for the magical beasts...their sharp ws were not suited for holding swords.


    Although this de was very precious andparable to a weak divine artifact, and could be gifted to family or friends even if one didn’t use it for one’s self, Linley, Fain, Rosarie, and the others who already had acquired a divine artifact wouldn’t take it.


    “Haha...” Desriughed. “Nobody wants it? I don’t have any weapons on me, so I might as well take this de. I’ve learned a few closebat skills before as well.”


    Desri picked up the de.
