Chapter 853 Hold On to Me
Embracing Lilly, Pablo descended rapidly, the wind whistling in their ears. However, Lilly felt a profound
tranquility in her master''s arms.
"Master, having you here feels so nice," Lilly expressed, hugging Pablo tightly and resting her cheek
against his chest.
With one arm securely wrapped around Lilly, Pablo held her head gently in his embrace, sighing with a
hint of helplessness. She had entrusted herself to himpletely, and he was determined to protect
her at all costs.
In Ghost Abyss, ascending without attaining the level of an emperor was impossible. So, if they could
not go up, they would go down instead.
They had to break through the eerie fog beneath the abyss and evade the ominous forces lurking
there. They would give it their all to find an opportunity to strike amidst the darkness.
As they descended, Pablo battled against the violent winds, but there was more than just wind tearing
at him. Strange mist twisted and coiled in the gusts, enveloping him and Lillyyer byyer.
Despite their plunge, it felt as though they were being ensnared by theseyers, desperately attempting
to drain their spiritual energy.
Pablo''s expression turned cold, and he uttered in a low voice, "Break!"
A brilliant light erupted, causing the strange mist surrounding them to dissipate with a soft sound.
However, as they ventured deeper into the abyss, the fog grew denser, constantly shrouding them
again after each breakthrough.
"Break!"
"Break!"
...
The mist presented a minimal threat to Pablo and could be easily prated.
However, their relentless,yered nature proved relentless.
During their descent, Pablo persistently shattered through the enigmatic fog, plunging at an rming
speed, yet they never seemed to reach the bottom, leaving him thoroughly exhausted.
Taking a deep breath, Pablo sensed that the small figure in his arms had stopped moving, causing his
heart to tighten.
He whispered, "Lilly?"
Lilly emitted a soft hum, her heavy eyelids struggling to stay open.
"Don''t sleep, Lilly," urged Pablo. "Hurry, open your eyes."
"Ghost Abyss is one of the deepest realms in the underworld. The spirits who sink here are those who
havenguished for thousands of years, devoid of self-awareness."
"These mists are all formed by these lost souls. They have the power to corrode one''s consciousness
and absorb their soul. Once you find yourself here, you must remain vignt and resist their
influence..."
Lilly continued to emit a faint hum, fighting against her drowsiness.
Master said to open my eyes, Master said to fight...
We must fight!
Exerting all her efforts, Lilly fought to stay awake, recollecting what happened earlier.
What happened to everyone?
During their descent, she recalled seeing Michael and the others fearlessly following her without
hesitation...
Just before they were torn apart, she managed to gather them all into the jar of souls. Michael, the
harem spirit, the unfortunate ghost, Aunt Ugly, the rebellious ghost... They were all safely stored within
the jar.
But it seemed like someone was missing...
Lilly''s eyes suddenly flew open.
Yes, someone had fallen!
Polly.
An intense wave of consciousness surged through Lilly as if struck by lightning. "Master... Polly... I
forgot about Polly!"
She remembered that when they were struck by a boulder, Polly, who was perched on her shoulder,
was also knocked away.
With its wings, Polly fluttered in panic, darting aimlessly beneath the abyss...
Pablo''s heart sank, realizing that if Polly descended further into the abyss, having wings would only
He could only offer her sce, saying, "It''s alright, Polly holds a special position. If he died so easily, it
proves that he isn''t a qualified soul collector."
Lilly gazed upward, her view obstructed by the vastness of the abyss. She could not discern the
colossal mouth that marked its entrance anymore. How long had they been falling? The abyss was so
immense that the sky remained hidden from her sight.
She wondered how Ivan must have felt when he plunged into this abyss.
Lilly''s heart weighed heavily, and with great effort, she lifted her heavy eyelids and pinched her fingers
to tell Polly''s fortune and to piece together what happened to Ivan.
However, at that moment, a resounding roar emanated from the depths of the abyss, and an enormous
mouth lunged toward Pablo and Lilly.
Lilly''s pupils constricted, and she eximed in surprise, "Master!"
What is this thing? Its teeth arerger than pirs!
Pablo reassured her, saying, "Don''t be afraid!"
With one hand tightly embracing Lilly, he executed a sharp maneuver.
He spotted the teeth of the bizarre creature, and he stepped on them, propelling himself upward!
As this unknown creature beneath them woke up, and as it appeared, the surrounding air
instantaneously grew bone-chillingly cold.
Lilly, already numb, felt her movements slow even more.
So cold...
Pablo grew anxious, knowing that Lilly had not yet cultivated spiritual energy within her body.
During their time together, she had made some progress on her own and had even consumed a portion
of the water from the spiritual spring, enhancing her strength.
However, in the face of the abyss, it still fell short!
"Hang on, Lilly," Pablo urged, moving with increased speed.
He moved like a sh of lightning, his white robe billowing as he deftly evaded the monster''s snapping
jaws, almost appearing to dance within its maw.
Using the creature''s mouth and teeth to his advantage, Pablo swiftly leaped to the top of the cliff.
"We''re almost there," Pablo murmured, stealing a nce at Lilly amidst his hurried actions. "Hold on."
The abyss was vast, surely there was a ce to evade this monster.
Frost clung to Lilly''s eyshes as she shivered. "Master, it''s so cold!"
Pablo held her even tighter, instructing, "Stay calm, focus, and imagine a fire burning within your body."
He noticed that Lilly had grown distant, her response faltering.
