Chapter 33 - The Will of the Abyss



Chapter 33: The Will of the Abyss

“No…”

Shu Ke really didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He had only said those words for fun, why were all of them acting as if they were facing a great enemy?

If I could kill this many strong Dou Spirits, I would have killed all those idiots from the Elder Council a long time ago. Why would I let them trouble me every single day?’

“I’m really Shu Ke. I heard the Abyss Murmur, but I ignored it.”

Shu Ke felt helpless, he could only hurriedly defend himself, just in case he gets himself into more trouble.

Any one of these people had the strength to kill him with just a single slap. If he didn’t quickly explain himself, he was afraid that he would die unjustly in this damned place.

“Kid, do you have so many distracting thoughts in your mind? You’ve been delayed by the Abyss Murmur for a day and a night.”

Lilia sized Shu Ke up from head to toe. After confirming that Shu Ke was not talking nonsense, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“A day and a night? It feels like the voice spoke only two sentences to me!”

Shu Ke finally understood why they were so nervous. It was not hard to let one’s thoughts run wild when a person gets stopped by the Abyss Murmur for a day and a night.

Shu Ke paused to think for a moment and felt that something was not right. He did not have many distracting thoughts. At most, he only had a deep-rooted obsession. How could the Abyss Murmur delay him for such a long time?

Why was it that the others were fine, but I had to spend so much effort?’

Shu Ke could not understand. The others also did not know what exactly happened.

“It seems that your desire is stronger and you have been taken care of by the Abyss. Fortunately, we are still in the core region of the human society. We are out of direct interference of the Will of the Abyss.”

Lilia looked at Shu Ke and let out a sigh of relief. If Shu Ke had really been tricked by the Abyss, adding the fact that she had offended the Vincent family for him, this would not be worth it at all.

“What is up with this Abyss? The moment we left the sacred light barrier, we were actually targeted like this?”

Shu Ke really could not understand. What the hell was this Abyss thing?

He was clearly in the core region of the kingdom, but why is it that the moment he left the sacred light barrier he encountered such a strong temptation from the Abyss?

Wasn’t this a little too different from the information that he read from the bards’ works?

“It’s already in the past now. The influence of the Abyss on the world has already reached a terrifying level.”

“Any place without the protection of Gods or saints will be coveted by the Abyss. Every year, the Abyss will use temptation on these unprotected places. The closer the place is to the opening of the Abyss, the stronger the temptation.”

Lilia’s darkened as she said this, the problem of the Abyss was giving her a headache.

“So the Gods have lost their suppressive effect on the Abyss?”

Shu Ke frowned when he heard this. He had already experienced the terror of the abyss.

If things were like what Lilia’ had said, then the terror of the Abyss was obvious.

Even the Gods were almost suppressed by the Abyss, otherwise, the Abyss would not be so rampant.

“It was mainly because a few good and law-abiding Gods that were powerful suddenly fell out of power. This was when the Will of the Abyss countered the gods. However, the Gods did not fall into a passive position, instead, they fought harder with the Abyss.”

Shu Ke listened to Lilia’s words and only nodded quietly, but did not say anything.

Whether the Gods could defeat the will of the Abyss or not, this was pretty evident from how rampant the Abyss was.

However, since Lilia worded it that way, Shu Ke did not say anything more.

“What would have happened if I responded to the Abyss Murmur previously?”

Shu Ke was actually still a little curious. The Abyss Murmur in the Abyss was to entice others, could there be any ulterior motives?

“Actually, nothing will happen. It will only leave a mark on you. In the future, there will be demons coming to do trades with you, or the devils will directly devour your soul.”

Both demons and devils were servants of the Abyss, but they were somewhat different.

The demons liked to tempt others into signing an extremely unequal contract with them, and then let the contractors succumb to their unsatisfied desires. In the end, they end up in the demon’s stomach.

Devils were much more straightforward. They would directly prey on the target and devour their souls.

Therefore, these two races looked down on each other.

Devils felt that demons were too slow and simply wasting time.

Demons felt that devils were absolutely rude and didn’t know what elegance was at all.

Regardless, both races were extremely powerful and extremely dangerous.

“Whether it is a demon or a devil, both have the strength equivalent to a Grand Master when they reach adulthood. Those with powerful bloodlines can even directly become members of the noble class.”

“They are entities that are comparable to Dou Spirits or even tiers above them. The legendary grand duke-tier demons and devils are equivalent to saints. Their ruler, the King is a completely Evil God!”

Shu Ke nodded with a solemn expression. This time, he finally understood how terrifying the Abyss was.

There were two types of entities: demons and devils. In addition, there were Evils Gods that had become the minions of the Abyss, as well as the Will of the Abyss that was above the majority of Gods and was only second to the God of Creation.

With such a setup, it was only normal for the Gods to not be able to hinder it.

Or rather, it was surprising that the Gods were able to fight against it for such a long time.

“This is somewhat the current situation in the Abyss, we don’t really know much about it. Besides, since you’re fine now, let’s get ready to leave.”

After explaining to Shu Ke about the existence of the Abyss, Lilia also felt that they should continue on their journey.

After all, they still had a long way to go.

“It’s also a waste of time to continue here. Let’s set off as soon as possible.”

Everyone nodded and then mounted onto their transportation to continue their journey.

Shu Ke—who was riding on the back of a light-winged tiger—was still frowning, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

“I keep feeling that the Abyss has something to say to me?”

“Moreover, the Abyss didn’t do much to tempt me. It was just a few simple words. Rather than saying that it wanted to tempt me, it’s more like it wanted to gain my trust…”

The thought of this made Shu Ke shake his head strangely, this was simply impossible.

If the Will of the Abyss really had any ill-intentions towards him, he would not be standing here right now.

“Let’s go!”

Toulon announced as he flew away with Shu Ke.

After everyone had left, a blurry and faceless shadow appeared at the place where they were standing before.

“It is confirmed that he bears the mark of the Great Will. However, there seems to be a special presence beside him, we need to approach them carefully.”
