To the Depth of Abyss - Chapter 189

The battle of the century is still continuing.

The sky was split. The earth was shaken. Red explosion rumbling through all the Floor.

The distant people, not knowing what was going on, thought:

“Is Abyssal going on a rampage?”

Well, that was actually not the Abyss, but two strongest Abyssal Hunter, fighting over one decision that could not be approved by two.

The battle lasted from morning to the next morning.

If one wins, or one got defeated, the results will be obtained. However, the situation got complicated than expected in the end of the fight.

“Please, don’t kill him!”

Arlene, sprawling, dragging her body to reach for motionless Ars.

“Ars, get up! Don’t just give up like that!”

After fighting on full power for about a day, Ars, sitting on top of the coffin. Bowing his head, fell silent with holding blue, distinct sword than his casual red sword; he beat up.

The aura of arrogance that usually emitted from him had disappeared. Replaced with an empty, lifeless aura.

Meanwhile, his enemy, Yamato, is walking toward him.

The big fight Yamato had not done in a long time gave him some wounds, but nothing meaningful injuries.

Yamato about to end up his enemy life. But he got blocked by silver-haired warrior.

“I won’t let you pass.”

The silver-haired warrior pointed her black sword at Yamato. An unusual, strong two-edged sword.

The silver-haired warrior might not worth for Yamato’s strength, but there is one thing from the silver-haired warrior that caught Yamato’s eyes.

“What is that sword name?” asked Yamato.

In that tense situation, Yamato asking about Skadi’s sword.

“Askalon.”

Skadi answered the question. Maybe if she did that, she can give Ars time to breathe to get up once more.

“Does that sword crafted by a gentleman with a silver hammer?”

Yamato asked not just to waste his time. He really wanted to talk to Skadi about a topic related to his past.

Skadi, of course, quite surprised because her enemy somehow related to her past too. When she thinks about it, the Wrath Samurai begin his carrier way longer than Skadi. So it’s no wonder that he asks about that topic.

“A gentleman with no name. Has big dreamed to craft the strongest sword that could defeat Sword of Testament. But sadly, he died because of Infection before he could achieve his dream.”

Yamato bowed his head on the sad news.

“That is unfortunate. This katana of mine was his first creation. I don’t know about his dream. He is talented, but unknown to people because he doesn’t want to give his name. But, now, I will achieve that dream for him.”

Yamato is about to kill Ars.

“I won’t let you do that!”

Skadi stands strong to block Yamato. Even though she knew she wouldn’t be standing against the strongest man.

“Ars! Get up! Didn’t you say you were going to beat that guy?!”

Arlene still has hope in Ars. Skadi supported that by standing in front of him. Unfortunately –

“It is over.”

Yamato grabbed Skadi’s Askalon by its edge.

That shocked Skadi, and she immediately pulled Askalon. But for some reason, she cannot. Yamato’s grab is so strong she could not move her sword.

“i only came here to finish what we started. And you are not.”

Yamato pulled Askalon and throw the black sword far. The owner of the sword let go of her grip, so she could still stand to block Yamato.

“You are so stubborn. Why do you want to protect him so badly?”

Skadi might hard to find the answer for that question. So the only person is able to give a reasonable answer is Arlene.

“Because I believe I would achieve my dream if I follow him!”

Arlene finally got to her feet. She slowly, strugglingly walks to get to in front of Ars.

“He might not the strongest. But he sure knows what he is doing.”

The two warriors, stand up together to protect the person they believe in.

“Is to the Depth of this Abyss. Do you know how hard is your journey would be to achieve that?”

“Yeah. We know. That is why we stand up and support each other.”

“You will lose many and might lose yourself just to achieve that wordly desires.”

“I already experience the worst part of losing someone and two. That is why, I am not going to waste their sacrifice. I will take their trust with me.”

Skadi not giving a response, but her expression tells the same as Arlene.

Yamato closed his eyes for a few seconds. He looked like he was thinking about Arlene’s words.

“But, this battle must have the winner and the loser.”

Yamato will still kill Ars. He raised his left hand to get rid of the two warriors in front of him.

“A warrior wouldn’t take his words back.”

Yamato slapped Arlene and Skadi with his big hand. Send the two women to left and right, knock out them.

“Missy!”

Bradley caught Arlene, got thrown off to their party. Meanwhile, Skadi got thrown off to the other side.

There is no one left to defend Ars.

Lian is still unconscious due to his heavy injuries. Sara hugged him in fear.

Xian Ling and Richard are in front of Lian and Sara. The two of them covered Sara from the terrible scene that was about to happen.

“It seemed like you are ready to accept your defeat.”

Yamato stands up beside Ars.

With Ars position that time; bowing his head down to the ground, he seemed to have accepted defeat. He got no heart, so the only way to kill him is to cut his head.

“NO!”

Arlene still could not accept Ars fate. If Yamato killed Ars, she will feel the loss of the people she adore once more time, and she did not want that.

Mercilessly, Yamato raised his katana.

“STOP!”

Skadi jumped to Yamato and hold the man’s right hand. Unfortunately, her effort is meaningless.

Yamato slowly swings his katana to Ars’ neck.

Could not do anything anymore, Ars’ fraction could only see the scene in mute and goosebumps.

“Ars.”

Until Yamato stopped his swing right above Ars’ neck.

Suddenly, someone calling for Ars. That was the reason Yamato stopped his katana. The voice was coming from inside the coffin.

“Elisa?”

It seemed Elisa has awakened in the right time, or maybe the worst.

“Ars. Where am I now? Why am I being put in here?”

Elisa has awakened. That means Ars has disconnected [Sharing Breath].

Now, they realize, they no longer felt a life from Ars’ body.

The coffin rang with opening sound. The person inside tries to get out.

“Elisa, wait!”

Arlene stands up to stop Elisa from getting out. But that was too late.

Elisa opened the head part of the coffin, then get out to find Ars is sitting in the coffin with a really big man holding his sword at Ars’ neck.

“Ars?”

She has no clue what was going on.

“Elisa!”

Until Arlene came to hug and cover her eyes.

“Miss Arlene? What is going on?”

Elisa innocently asked. She really does not know what was going on. When she finally woke up, she found herself in a coffin. Then when she came out, the shocking sight of her beloved one being threatened made her wonder.

“Don’t worry. It’s okay. You have done well.”

Arlene at first did not want Yamato to kill Ars, because he will kill Elisa too. But now Ars had disconnected the [Sharing Breath]. So Ars currently is lifeless now. He truly had accepted his defeat.

“There is a girl, inside that coffin?” asked Xian Ling.

The girl looked younger than them. They do not know what was going on with the girl being put inside the coffin. But it seemed to have something to do with the Greedy Young Master, who was no longer moving.

Arlene hugged Elisa tightly. Skadi still trying to lift Yamato’s hand.

In that situation, Yamato hesitated.

“KILL HIM!”

Suddenly, someone shouting to Yamato.

“Kill. Him! What are you waiting for?!”

That is Echidna, who is still alive with her body damaged. No longer beauty, but ugliness and defects that could be seen from her.

“Kill them too! Kill all of them who get in my way!”

Echidna is the one who revived Yamato and gives the man a new heart. So she probably has control over the strongest man.

That of course shaken the Abyssal Hunter. They already didn’t have anything anymore, even strength to run.

They can only accept their fate in fear.

“What are you doing?”

But for some reason, Yamato let go of his katana. Made the sword stuck into the ground.

“This battle is not fair.”

His fighting intent was also disappeared.

“Throughout the battle, he continued to hold back from launching attacks. Like there was something that made him have to. But now I see, he relied on someone’s soul to fight, so he didn’t fight seriously.”

After that speech, Yamato stabbed his chest. Then take the heart that does not belong to him.

“I don’t deserve this win.”

Yamato gives Ars’ heart to Skadi.

“I can’t believe, having been defeated by the Sword of Testament twice.”

He then walks to his leader.

“But, if we meet on another occasion, and at full strength, perhaps our battle will be much bigger and longer than this.”

From his blood, Yamato created a fire that burns his body.

“What are you doing?! Do you also want to defy me!?”

“I am never once being ordered by someone. I always followed what my heart told to me, and this fight, is my defeat. Yours too.”

Yamato is about to kill himself by taking Echidna with him.

“Stop right there!”

Echidna being filled with fear. She walked backwards by flowing her mana to the ground.

“I said, stop!”

Ehcidna summoned a thousand monsters from the ground. All of it came directly to Yamato.

But Yamato did not shiver. He drew his right hand, then pushed hard, sending windwave that killef all of Echidna’s monsters.

“This will be the real end of my journey. If you really worthy of three saintly figure, then prove me that this journey is right.”

Yamato punch Echidna’s chest until it pierced. That instant killed the two of them. Their body got scorched, became ashes that got blown away by the wind.
