To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 39: Abyssal Blessing

Ars knelt down, then vomited.

Jimmy and Elisa confused, not yet healed from the shock. The fight before was so mind-draining that they didn't know what to react to.

Ars finished vomiting, got up, turned around, then fell.

"Ars!"

Elisa immediately ran after seeing Ars fall.

Jimmy still can't decide. Is Ars really on their side? Because everything that happened made him very confused.

Ars sprawl, unable to move his body. "Ahh, my head."

His head was very dizzy. The world is spinning around in his head.

"Are you okay?!"

Elisa is at his side, trying to help. But she confused. She wanted to turn and hold Ars's body, but does Ars allows him to do that?

"Help me."

Ars asked for her help.

Elisa immediately turned Ars's body and held Ars's head on her thigh. Then she realized, "Ah, I'm sorry! I can't heal you because I left my wand!"

Elisa once again regretted her condition. She is useless if she doesn't have [Mana Vessel] in her hands.

Ars doesn't care about that. He took out a potion and tried to drink it, but his hand trembled. Elisa instantly lends her hand.

Ars drank a potion that Jimmy said one of the ingredients is Father Tree's penis. But he didn't care. It was for the sake of recovering his body quickly.

After drinking the potions, it disgusted Ars. "Aahhhhhhhgg!" It felt like he wanted to throw up again.

Jimmy comes to Ars with a question. "Tell me, Ars, whose side are you?"

"What?"

The question had been bothering Jimmy since Ars first appeared at that place. Then Ars started fighting Zhang, showing and telling things Ars shouldn't have known.

"Aahhhh, context?" Ars asked Jimmy to be clearer.

"Good or evil for us."

Ars tried to get up. "It depends." Ars sat down first, letting the potions work. "But if you really want to know. I'm doing all these things for my own sake, I swear."

"By making us as bait?"

"Yes, but don't worry, no casualties on your side."

"What do you mean?"

"Can't you hear? I eliminated all of Zhang's men, and Zhang himself."

Half of Zhang's corpse lay near to their position.

"So this means of 'a human corpse that has become a Demon will not be accepted by Abyssal'."

"What?"

Jimmy suddenly muttered something that made Ars curious.

"If we die, as Abyssal Humans, our bodies will decompose."

Ars stared at that information. "You mean?"

"Yes, like the Abyssal Monster, we break down into Abyssal Sparkle. But, Zhang who has turned into a Demon ... "

Zhang's remains remain intact as corpses.

Abyssal will not accept, "Their bodies that turned into demons. Because of that, a way to take care of their corpses by burying or burning them. "

"Wait."

Ars has many questions regarding the concept of death in that world. But he decided to save questions for later, as he was too tired of fighting.

Ars stood up, then walked over to Zhang's corpse.

"What do you want to do?" asked Jimmy.

"You said this corpse could only be buried in the normal way, buried or burned, right?"

It confused Jimmy. "O-oh, yes."

"Then I'll keep this corpse and we'll take care of it outside later."

Ars brought his hand closer to Zhang's corpse. In an instant, the corpse disappeared somewhere.

Jimmy and Elisa stared, unable to hide their admiration.

"So that's your Abyssal Blessing?"

"Abyssal what?"

"Blessing, a special ability gifted by the God of Abyssal as the chosen person."

Ars frowned. There is a lot of information that he hasn't known since talking to Jimmy. But again, he decided to save all of that for later.

"Hey, help me collect all those swords."

Ars said that while aiming at Jimmy and Elisa. But only Elisa moved to carry out his request.

Jimmy had a question since Ars had many [Swords of Testament].

"How do you know Sword Saint, Ars?"

"Sword Saint? Oh, you mean Yin. Well, I can say, he saved me from pain, trained me to be strong, and gave me about 200 of these swords as my journey capital. "

There is not a single lie in Ars's words.

Elisa brought three [Swords of Testament] to Ars.

Jimmy is still not sure, but he has a feeling that a new Emperor will be born.

Ars has taken all the properties he took out. Then walk to the exit.

"What are you waiting for?" Ars asked Jimmy. "Show me the way out."

Ars only entered the dungeon once, it was difficult for him to remember the route of the exit.

Jimmy was about to walk, but he suddenly knelt down. "Ack!"

"Oy, are you okay?" asked Ars.

Elisa - the priest in the party, went straight to Jimmy.

Jimmy felt a spot on the left side of his body, making him ache. "Looks like my ribs have shifted." The wound made it difficult to walk.

"I'm sorry."

Elisa apologized. That wound must have gotten Jimmy when he protected that girl before.

"Don't worry." Jimmy tried to get up. "It hurts because I spoil myself too much lately." Jimmy tried to be strong.

Elisa did not allow that. She stood beside Jimmy, to lend him a shoulder for help.

"Thank you."

They were ready to walk out.

"Let's go then."

Latifa woke up from her sleep. She immediately realized that she got paralyzed before.

"Mrs. Boss! "

The employees of White Wood, Ltd. greeted Latifa, but she did not see their leader - her husband.

"Where's Jimmy?"

The workers told Latifa what had happened a few moments ago.

Latifa immediately understood the situation. She felt ashamed that she had lowered her guard.

"Where are they now?!"

"They're over there!"

Several of the workers had already tracked the location of the intended Dungeon.

Carrying half the number of workers, Latifa headed for the dungeon. Randi's party also joined with their full weapons.

After rushing for about 10 minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance to the dungeon.

When they were about to enter, they heard someone's footsteps.

"Ars!" call Randi.

That person is Ars, the traitor who caused all the trouble.

Suddenly the light that came from a flame appeared. That is the Abyssal Art that came from Latifa.

Everyone is shocked. It stunned Ars. Latifa looks like she will attack Ars.

"You! What are you doing, Jimmy?!"

Latifa is furious, she will not hesitate to attack if Ars gives an unsatisfactory answer.

"Wait, Latifa!"

A familiar voice sounded from within.

Jimmy, assisted by Elisa, walked out.

Latifa canceled her magic. Feeling sorry when she saw her husband injured and hard to walk.

Latifa ran inside. Hugging her husband with great gratitude.

Ars walks out. Randi approached and asked: "The bodies of Zhang's men, did they unravel, or?"

Randi quite confused at the question. "They unravel."

Then none of them is a demon like Zhang.

"Are they all dead?" asked Ars to confirm.

"Yes, you killed them all."

"Well, then."

Ars walked towards the base, ignoring the gazes of others who wondered, 'Doesn't he have feelings?'.
