To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 37: Cheater vs Demon

[Trophy earned: What the fuck, a Demon?!]

[Encounter a Demon]

[Eye of the Dragon: Leveled up!]

[+Mana Vision]

"Wow!"

The man is Ars. He casually walked into the boss room. He looked surprised, but not surprised by the sight of Zhang's monster.

"What kind of function is this?" Ars asked himself. "What in the actual -!"

Ars suddenly acting strange. Jimmy, Elisa, Henry, and Zhang startled at that sight.

Zhang let Jimmy go. With his patience at his limit, he raised his hand up, about to hit Ars.

Ars noticed Zhang's arrival.

A blast of wind occurred when Zhang attacked Ars, and Ars put on defense.

Somehow Ars was already holding a Guardian Hornet Shield, blocking Zhang's attack.

Zhang being made to take a few steps back. Zhang had expected the red-eyed man in front of him to have hidden intentions, but he didn't expect him to be that strong.

"What are you doing with my men?" asked Zhang intimidatingly.

"I end their life."

Zhang made a chuckle. "Are you kidding me? Even though they are useless, they comprise Silver and Gold -" Zhang suddenly remembered that Henry, his right hand, was sitting in fear.

"B - boss ..." Henry shuddered, "... he killed all of our men."

The confirmation from Henry made Zhang aware that he should not underestimate the red-eyed man in front of him.

On the other hand, Jimmy can't really understand. Did Ars really kill Zhang's men by killing them? Or he just arrest them?

Whatever the answer, all Jimmy has to do now is secure Elisa and stay away from the two of them - Ars and Zhang. Because he had a feeling that their fight would be brutal.

Ars keeps the Guardian Hornet Shield, then takes out the Bear Beast Blade. This seemed to make Zhang a little surprised.

"How do you do that?"

"Cheat," answered Ars casually.

Ars didn't feel the need to keep his secret with Zhang. After all, he was going to kill that creature called Demon.

Before starting the fight, Ars had one question. "Hey, where did you get the power to turn into such an ugly thing? By eating devil fruit or shit? Or did you receive that power from some kind of mystical creature or devil directly?"

Zhang surprised by Ars's question. Ars has information that only chosen people can know about that.

"I see," Zhang muttered. "No wonder why those fu*king emperors have powers related with gods or mystical creatures."

"Ooh."

Ars got enlightened. It was true; he was not the only one who received gifts such as cheats and great strength. This made him ask, "Then what god or mystical creature represents Yin?"

Ars's question will be answered when he meets Yin later.

"Looks like I have to finish you here." Zhang prepared to attack. "If I'm lucky, maybe I can take your power too."

"Seizing my cheat - my power? Can you do that?"

Ars really asked that fact. If so, then Zhang would have to cut and steal Ars's eyes to do that.

"Whatever, just do it if you can."

Ars accepts Zhang's challenge.

Before the fight began, Henry fell far back. Jimmy and Elisa already in a safe position.

Ars and Zhang put their horses together. Ars only wielded one Bear Beast Blade. Zhang used both hands as weapons.

Ars prepared for whatever attacks were coming. But suddenly, Zhang disappeared like a mist in the wind.

[Eyes of the Dragon: Spacious Mode]

Ars didn't find any movement in the entire room. Zhang was neither moving nor running at the speed of wind or light, his figure completely disappeared and [Eyes of the Dragon] could not track him.

[Warning Provider] tracks the danger from behind. Ars swung his sword, but he cut nothing. Another danger came again from the front, but Ars didn't know how the attack will come. Ars can only protect his face with both hands.

The attack pushed Ars back several steps.

Another attack is coming. Ars swung his sword from top to bottom, but once again he hit nothing. Danger came again, and Ars protected his face again. But Zhang instead kicked Ars in the stomach, causing Ars to get thrown back and hit the wall to shreds.

Jimmy began to lose hope. He wants to help Ars, but it would be suicide if they couldn't see Zhang.

Zhang revealed his figure. "I thought that because you had a cheat, you would be a dangerous threat. But in the end, you're just a cocky rookie and overconfident. "

Zhang got disappointed in Ars. Because Ars has the power to store and pull out items - like Doraemon - he thinks Ars is strong. Apparently Ars is still weak.

Ars took out his body from the embrace of the wall. It didn't hurt that much, but because his head hit the wall hard enough, a stream of blood flowed down his face.

"You're the weak one. If you are strong, fight me fairly."

"Then fight me fairly too! Don't use your cheats to pull out various kinds of weapons!"

Ars currently holding the Royal Hornet Lance. Lance that has great destructive power. Its long body could reach further attacks, and its drill-like tip could brutally crush the surroundings. A weapon suitable for fighting an invisible human like Zhang.

Zhang once again made his body invisible. But Ars was ready to face that.

Ars swung the Royal Hornet Lance from right to left in a circle. The swirl created a strong wind and swept around Ars.

"Waaaaaaa!" Henry was hit by the attack because he was on the same side of the wall as Ars.

The attack just now didn't hit Zhang at all.

Ars corrected his stance, then prepared for the next attack.

The Royal Hornet Lance directed backwards. Strongly, Ars swung the Hornet Lance from the bottom upwards, towards the front by making a hole in the floor.

The attack just now sent a destructive signal flowing from the floor to the wall.

Ars firmly believed he attacked the point where Zhang was standing before. But from that point he had attacked, Zhang once again darted towards him.

Ars swings the Hornet Lance from top right to bottom vertically. The wind burst created by the attack.

Ars had already swung the Royal Hornet Lance three times. If nothing hits Zhang, he will be very upset.

"?!"

Sure enough, Zhang kicked Ars' face and sent Ars thrown back.

In the air, Ars corrected his position so that his back did not fall to the ground.

Ars spat out a little blood in his mouth.

"You really are a coward for not wanting to fight me openly, huh?"

"Just say that you are weak and not in my level."

It feeds Ars up. Actually, he didn't want to use the new function of [Eyes of the Dragon] he got just now. But he had no other choice.

[Eyes of the Dragon: Mana Vision]

Zhang made his body disappear again, then darted towards Ars. But suddenly, Ars took out a [Sword of Testament]. Zhang immediately stopped when he saw a sword that a rookie like Ars should not have.

"You, where did you get that sword?!"

Zhang was asking about one of the many Yin swords Ars wielded.

"This? Of course from the owner."

"Are you kidding me? If you have it, it means you've met that person!"

Zhang suddenly got angry to Ars. Even though Ars only has the sword given from Yin, one of the dozens remains.

Not only Zhang, but Jimmy got surprised too. He knew that the Sword Saint could duplicate [Sword of Testament] and pass that copy to someone else. But he didn't understand, 'why would the Sword Saint want to give a copy of the [Sword of Testament] to a petty person like Ars?'

"You can have it if you want."

Ars flashed the [Sword of Testament] right at the direction Zhang stood.

Zhang stunned by the [Sword of Testament] form. His body is still invisible. His right hand reflexively wanted to catch that legendary sword.

But before [Sword of Testament] was within Zhang's range, Ars suddenly appeared before him with a [Sword of Testament] swing.

The attack was instantaneous. Zhang could only block it with both hands.

If Ars was the person chosen to receive a copy of [Sword of Testament], then Ars could definitely do an attack like Jimmy.

Zhang indeed can heal a body that broken or injured, but if his body got split in two or crushed, he will directly die.

"Die!" shouted Ars.

Ars swung his sword strongly. However, he only managed to cut off two hands, and pushed Zhang back several meters.

Zhang revealed himself. For a moment, he thought he was going to die. It turned out that only two of his hands got cut.

Ars upset that he failed. "Damn it, I thought my position was right earlier!"
