To the Depth of Abyss - Chapter 182

“You sure that’s a human body, not a steel?”

The Black Hunter guy even shocked at Skadi’s strength.

However, there was something wrong with Skadi after blocking that attack just now.

“Miss Arlene, what happened-?!”

Xian Ling and Sara came out in the wrong time and unfortunate position.

“I knew there is not just you two.”

The Black Hunter guy turned his back. He is going to attack Xian Ling and Sara.

“Xian Ling! Cast a shield!”

Xian Ling did not know what will the Black Hunter guy does to them. But she cast a shield as Arlene told her to.

“[Schwarzer Blitz: Dark Root]!”

Black Hunter guy mercilessly strikes Xian Ling and Sara with his powerful Arts. That Arts even blow everything nearby, the wall, a few building, everything to dust.

That just now was like a tier 9 Arts. Meanwhile, Xian Ling is just newly Platinum Hunter. The strongest barrier she could create was probably only tier 8.

Arlene underestimated their current situation.

“Hm?”

They thought the two young Hunters were finished. But turned out, there is silverish cube like barrier that protects them.

“So that’s how you used Silver Sky Staff.”

The Black Hunter guy surprised a little when his Arts got blocked twice.

The silverish barrier created by the Silver Sky Staff, that floating above the two young hunters.

Black Hunter guy turned his back in a flash. Encountering the Black Swordswoman who swung her sword at him. Another big explosion occurred.

_____________

“Move fast, guys!”

Another big explosion occurred. They had reached the gates of the North Coast Palace. All he had in mind was the safety of the four female members of his party. Without worrying about his own situation.

“Lian!”

Richard pulled him out of his horse. In an instant, a wolf like monster with six eyes fell on his horse like a mortar rock.

“Wulkris!”

~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~

Lian was almost pounced on by that nocturnal monster.

“But why are they here?!” asked Bradley in confusion.

Wulkris is not a beast that makes an area their nest. So it was strange when they were at the front gate of the North Coast Palace.

“There is a beast tamer inside that palace! Be careful!”

Ars who finally caught up gave them a warning.

It sounded unusual to hear Ars give them advice. But the information made Lian realize that he shouldn’t be too hasty. He wouldn’t be able to save their members who were inside if he himself was finished.

So he draws his blade to face the monsters.

“How many are they?”

“Twelve with those who hide behind the gate wall,” answered Bradley.

Apart from Wulkris just now who attacked Lian, several appeared from above the wall.

Those wolf beast was losing their natural. They are aggressive beasts. But at that time they looked more like gatekeeper beasts.

What a strange sight. However, Lian did not want to lose his temper again and be in a hurry.

“So, let’s kill them to get in!”

Even without Caster and Priest. They were enough to handle twelve Wulkris.

_____________

“Skadi, are you okay fighting that guy alone?”

They had secured the two young hunters.

Skadi had hit the Black Hunter guy quite a distance from their position. But she didn’t inflict any wounds.

“Yeah-yeah! She will be okay! She is the Silver Sky Staff bearer and a strong swordswoman! I did like to have a solo match with her!”

The one who answered was the Black Hunter guy.

Skadi had already blocked his attack twice and hit him far enough. Of course that increases the Black Hunter guy’s intention to fight one on one with Skadi.

“Go. I could feel the other’s presence. They are in the front gate.”

Ars and the other finally arrived at the palace.

Arlene had some bit of worried letting Skadi fight the Black Hunter guy alone. When Arlene asked Skadi’s mental state at the moment.

However, Xian Ling and Sara’s life is a priority.

“It’s not I’m not believe in you. Just, don’t do anything reckless.”

“Yeah.”

After that confirmation, Arlene took the two young Hunter to the safer team. Then run to back to the palace, to regroup with the rest of the party.

“Miss Arlene, shouldn’t we together fight against that Black Hunter man first?”

Sara had an intention of helping Skadi to fight. That was a kind intention. Unfortunately –

“You can’t. Fighting against a Black Hunter, especially if it’s the higher up, one on one would be better because they might prioritizing you, the core of the party first to kill. They are not like monsters. They are evil human that can’t be taunt.”

Right after Arlene tells the reason why, another black lightning strikes strike the palace wall.

“Plus, it’s better for us to not hold her back.”

The three of them running without looking back. Because they fully trust the Silver Sky Staff bearer to beat the Black Hunter guy.

~

“What happened?! Aren’t you stay here to replace you friend?!”

Since the beginning of the battle, Skadi had only blocked all the Black Hunter guy’s attacks, and she only attacks to repel.

“You!” Skadi finally opens her mouth. “Are you Siegfried?!”

That question made him actually thinking.

“Siegfried? Who’s that?”

From the start, Skadi was holding back to make sure, if the Black Hunter guy in front of her is the person she used to know. Because she will never forget that face, even though it already turned to be an evil.

“Dunno.”

But the answer is no.

“Maybe you are right. I am Siegfried. But that weak and useless guy is already dead. Now, I am Unheil! Demon King General!”

Black Hunter guy – Unheil unleashed his true power. A black tremendous lightning aura covered him. Tearing off his clothes and exposing his demon’s body.

“[Unheil: Demon King General. The Charity fraction]!”

Unheil released his Demonic Change. His body covered with black lightning tattoos. There is a big Devil Seed popped out from the middle of his chest – exposed.

Unheil will put all his strength against Skadi.

“But, you sure have confidence showing your weakness like that.”

“You really had confidence in your abilities, thought you could beat me easily just because this dirty thing exposed from mybody. I may not as strong as a Commander. But, I will make my way higher to the peak so I can meet the Saint of Soul once again!”

Skadi was in a dilemma. After looking into more detail and learning Unheil’s past, she became even more certain that the man in front of her was Siegfried.

However, that man turned into something he once hated.

“I will put a stop on you right here.”

“Try me.”

___________

The sound of thunder boomed, and the roar of the shattering of the buildings and walls rang out once again.

“They go on full fight.”

After watching such battle, now Xian Ling and Sara realized that their existence on that battle would just be a dead weight.

“Let’s go. We are getting close to the exit.”

They had gone through all the passages and came to the exit to the front yard.

However, right before they passed the exit, Arlene senses someting and stopped their feet.

Xian Ling and Sara didn’t ask a question and just follow Arlene.

Arlene took something from her small bag, a flashbang. She throws it up front – all of them three turned their face – then bang; the flash exposed two beasts that waited them in the last exit.

Arlene immediately run up front and kills the two beasts with her gun.

“A Wulkris?!”

A six-eyed wolf beast. Arlene shocked that that nocturnal beast was in such a place at such a time. Surprisingly, there are not just two, but still many of them around.

“[Fire Explosion Arrows]!”

Xian Ling launched a few attacks to protect Arlene. Unfortunately, that amount of mana could taunt the Wulkris, that filled the front page.”

“Uh, we are in real danger now.”

Arlene herself couldn’t think of how they would get out of that situation other than running back into the palace.

“MISS ARLENE!”

Somebody shouted Arlene’s name from the front gate.

Sara was the one who realized who it was.

“It’s Lian!”

Their main party is in the front gate, stuck.

“Get back!”

Arlene has to make them walk backwards, back down the hallway to narrow down the Wulkris’ reach.

She and Xian Ling both launching their attacks to kill all the Wulkris who tried to reach them. Unfortunately –

“There are so many of them!”

The wolf beast number is like endless.

“Guys, we have to  reach them!”

Since the rest of their party was in sight, Lian wanted to immediately regroup with them.

“But can’t you see our hands already full?!”

They had killed about a dozen wolf beasts. However, their numbers did not seem to decrease.

Lian, Bradley and Richard can’t move forward. Arlene, Xian Ling and Sara continued to retreat. They really got overwhelmed by the beast pack.

Until suddenly a horizontal light slash crossed in half their height. The horizontal light slash casually crossed them, but when it crossed the beasts, it kill the beasts, all of them with just one slash.

Searing all the beast into dust.

“Get out of my way.”

After that light slash, Ars appeared behind them, pulled the horse carriage to enter the front yard.

“Isn’t that – ”

“Blue Sky Sword?”

Ars was the one who kills all the beast with just one slash.

“Ars! You!”

When they got the opportunity to get out, Arlene immediately approached Ars and scolded the Greedy Young Master.

“So strong!”

The three of them got speechless in front of the red dragon’s powe
